The Committee Office.
The Gatekeeper knocked on the door first, and an old voice immediately came from inside.
"Come in!"
Seeing this, the Gatekeeper glanced at Yang Yuan, then pushed open the door and they walked in together.
Inside the Committee Office, three old men sat behind a desk.
After seeing who had entered, their gazes swept past the Gatekeeper and finally settled on Yang Yuan.
After sizing up Yang Yuan for a few seconds, the old man sitting in the middle smiled kindly and said, "You must be Yang Yuan, right?"
"The Crown Prince sent someone specifically to inform us, saying he was introducing a young talent to come to the academy to Cultivate."
"Seeing you now, you are indeed a man of striking appearance, just as the Crown Prince said."
Yang Yuan also replied politely, "Greetings, Three Committee Members."
"Hohoho, no need to be formal."
The old man in the middle said with a chuckle, and the more he looked at Yang Yuan, the more he appreciated him.
After all, he had heard from the Crown Prince that this little fellow before him not only had Innate Full Spirit Power, but was only eight years old and had already made a Breakthrough to Rank 24.
Such talent could not be found in a second person in the entire Heaven Dou Academy.
After speaking, he looked at the Gatekeeper and smiled gently, "Xiao Li, is there anything else?"
He thought the Gatekeeper had only come to lead the way for Yang Yuan.
Xiao Li had a bitter face, and then he recounted the events that had happened earlier in detail to the old man.
"Chief Meng Shenji, that is how everything happened."
After Xiao Li finished, he saw that the expression on Meng Shenji's face had turned completely dark.
Clearly, Meng Shenji was currently very angry.
However, he wasn't angry at Yang Yuan, but rather at Xue Beng and the others for daring to be so presumptuous.
They had nearly driven away a peerless Genius.
If that had really happened, he would have kicked those worthless playboys out of Heaven Dou Academy no matter what.
Fortunately, Yang Yuan was fine.
As for Xue Beng and the others being taught a lesson by Yang Yuan, that was a non-issue in his eyes.
Bullying the small, outnumbering the few, and still being inferior in skill—what did it matter if they got beaten up in such a situation?
Two words: Served them right!
Not only that, he intended to file a complaint against Xue Beng with Emperor Xue Ye to make him suffer a bit more.
"Alright Xiao Li, I'm aware of the matter. You may leave now."
Seeing this, Xiao Li immediately understood he wouldn't be in trouble. Feeling relieved, he respectfully exited the Committee Office.
Once Xiao Li left, Meng Shenji gave Yang Yuan an apologetic smile.
"Little fellow, the academy's lack of discipline has made us a laughingstock."
Yang Yuan said with a faint smile, "There are scumbags everywhere, aren't there?"
Seeing how blunt Yang Yuan was, Meng Shenji couldn't help but let out a laugh.
Meng Shenji then introduced himself and the other two Committee Members, Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin.
After the introductions, Zhi Lin suddenly spoke up, "Little fellow, we heard from the Crown Prince that your first two spirit rings are both thousand-year spirit rings. Is this true?"
After Zhi Lin spoke, Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan also cast curious glances.
Initially, when they received this information from the Crown Prince, they were also full of disbelief.
Only after the Crown Prince's repeated assurances did they become half-believing.
After all, since ancient times, no one had ever heard of someone's first and second spirit rings both being thousand-year ones.
The exception being those with twin spirits!
Seeing that Meng Shenji and the other two knew about his first two spirit rings being thousand-year ones, Yang Yuan's expression remained calm.
Because this was exactly what he and Qian Renxue had agreed upon.
After all, in the coming years, it would be impossible for Yang Yuan to never show his spirit ring configuration.
The more he tried to hide it then, the more suspicious it would seem.
In that case, it was better to reveal it openly and find some excuse to gloss over the matter.
After all, compared to Rank 20 Innatespirit power, thousand-year level first and second spirit rings were easier for outsiders to accept.
Just like Tang San's ten-thousand-year fourth ring in the original story.
Besides this, there was another reason why Qian Renxue dared to let Yang Yuan display his spirit ring configuration so openly.
That was because with her connection, Spirit Hall posed no threat to Yang Yuan.
As for the rest of the Upper Three Sects, the Clear Sky Sect was in seclusion, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was neutral toward the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was close to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
Therefore, Yang Yuan had safety guarantees and wouldn't be subjected to unnecessary targeted assassinations.
Facing the gazes of the Three Committee Members, Yang Yuan smiled slightly, and a light of Chaos flashed within his Double Pupils.
In the next second, two purple spirit rings immediately rose and circled up from beneath his feet.
"They really are two thousand-year spirit rings!"
The Three Committee Members were greatly shocked by this and couldn't help but marvel.
Meng Shenji then asked curiously, "Little fellow, can you tell this old man how you absorbed these two thousand-year spirit rings?"
Without thinking, Yang Yuan gave the reason he had prepared long ago.
"To answer Committee MemberMeng Shenji, you know I am a commoner. Back then, knowing nothing, I went to the Star Dou Great Forest alone to hunt for a spirit ring."
"As it turned out, I accidentally ate a golden fruit, after which my body underwent a mutation and my physical strength increased several times over."
"Later, I happened upon a dying Spirit Beast. After killing it, I directly absorbed its spirit ring. Fortunately, I succeeded."
"I only found out later that the Spirit Beast was a thousand-year Spirit Beast, which only a three-ring Spirit Elder can absorb."
"Thinking back now, I still feel a sense of lingering fear. If not for that golden fruit, I'm afraid I would have died from my body exploding due to absorbing a spirit ring beyond my level."
Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but look moved.
"The world is truly full of wonders; there actually exists a treasure that can increase the limit of spirit ring tolerance."
"But little fellow, it's also thanks to your great fortune, otherwise you wouldn't be standing here talking to us now."
"In the future, you must not act as recklessly as you did before."
Yang Yuan grinned and nodded in agreement.
Afterward, Meng Shenji and the others chatted with Yang Yuan for a few more moments before saying to him:
"Little fellow, normally since your spirit power hasn't reached Rank 25, you should be assigned to the Heaven-Faint class."
"But your talent is obvious to all, so we plan to make an exception and recruit you into the Heaven-Apex class."
"This year's Heaven Dou Academy has also produced many geniuses, most of whom are currently in the Heaven-Apex class."
"Between you geniuses, there will be more common ground."
Meng Shenji chuckled.
Of course, there was another reason why he wanted to place Yang Yuan in the Heaven-Apex class.
In the academy, those geniuses led by Yu Tianheng thought too highly of their own talent and had developed a lazy attitude toward Cultivation.
Meng Shenji had advised them many times, but nothing had changed.
That was why he wanted to use Yang Yuan to stimulate the self-esteem of these geniuses, so they would cast aside their lazy habits.
It could be seen here that it wasn't just the students of Shrek Academy who were lax in their Cultivation.
Most academy geniuses had this problem.
It was just that those few people from Shrek Academy, besides being lax in Cultivation, also had major character flaws.
It was either gambling or visiting brothels, and also bullying the weak while fearing the strong.
How did this look like teaching students?
