Chapter 10 Jade Summit Imperial Academy

Chapter 10

Jade Summit Imperial Academy

When David had first arrived in the Jade Serpent Continent, he had already thought about where he should go.

Martial Soul Hall. Shrek Academy. Jade Summit Imperial Academy.

… …

The waters of the Martial Soul Hall were too deep. If he went there now, he would be walking right into a trap!

As for Shrek Academy, he really didn't want to follow Derek around. He wasn't interested in licking Derek's Feet or being licked by Derek. He was more interested in slashing Derek with a knife.

"I wonder if killing the main character of the storyline will give me a big mystery gift."

David thought.

His final choice was Jade Summit Imperial Academy!

This academy was founded by the royal family and was known as the number one academy in the Jade Summit Empire. It was well-equipped and had a strong teaching staff. It also had countless experts and three Soul Martial Artists above rank 80, including the Dream God Machine!

Perhaps this was a good choice.

After some serious consideration, David decided to apply for Jade Summit Imperial Academy.

Although the academy might not be completely safe, it was still much better than living alone outside.

Safety first!

This was the highest rule David had ever lived in the Jade Serpent Continent!

However, Jade Summit Imperial Academy was backed by the royal family. The first rule was that they had to have a noble title. Ordinary commoners couldn't join.

David had always thought that this was a system created by some idiot that greatly limited the academy's development. It was no wonder the Jade Summit Imperial Academy team was so badly beaten in the Soul Master Tournament.

Didn't they know that elites were born from the commoners?!

It was understandable that they only accepted talented geniuses. Was there something wrong with the royal family's brains, or did they have a strong sense of class?!

This noble title was troublesome. Although he was the son of the Snowy Night Emperor, he was still an illegitimate child. He didn't have the right to be a prince and was still a commoner.

It was difficult for commoners to enter Jade Summit Imperial Academy.

"Forget it. I'll try my luck tomorrow."

David nodded. He no longer thought about it and prepared to apply for Jade Summit Academy tomorrow.

… …

Early morning.

The sun rose from the east!

After a night of rest and recuperation, David's injuries were much better and wouldn't affect his fighting ability. A Soul Master's body was stronger than a normal person's, so it would probably take another two or three days for him to fully recover.

He washed his face and changed into a black outfit. He walked up to the full-length mirror and stroked his somewhat elegant black hair, looking at his current appearance.

Black gem-like eyes, handsome facial features, and a chiseled face.

To be honest, the only good thing about this good-for-nothing prince was that he was a little handsome.

He was much more handsome than the blue-haired Derek!

It could be said that he was one of the few handsome men in the world, probably because he had inherited Sarah's powerful genes.

After all, Sarah used to be the most talented woman in the mortal world. She was devastatingly beautiful, otherwise the Snowy Night Emperor wouldn't have fallen in love with her.

At about eight in the morning, David walked out of the house.

During the day, Jade Summit City was bustling with life. Pedestrians jostled shoulder to shoulder, and carriages flowed in and out of the city in an endless stream. This was the bustling imperial capital that everyone yearned for.

"Meat buns! Hot meat buns!"

"Freshly made soy milk! It's fragrant and sweet!"

"Steamed buns! Freshly made steamed buns!"

"Come, come, come, a bowl of tofu pudding ~"

… …

On both sides of the street, many breakfast vendors were loudly hawking their wares, attracting the passersby.

David walked calmly down the street with light steps. He rested his head on his hands and leisurely scanned the food stalls around him. His expression was very relaxed, not at all like the person who had just gone through an assassination attempt last night.

"Boss, two steamers of steamed buns!"

He walked into a steamed bun shop and sat down at a table near the inner side. The battle last night had consumed a lot of energy, so when he smelled the aroma of food this morning, his stomach rumbled with hunger.

Two steamers of steaming meat buns, a plate of pickled vegetables, and a free bowl of plain water.

David ate with relish.

After quietly enjoying his breakfast, he left ten copper soul coins on the table and quickly walked out of the city.

Jade Summit Imperial Academy!

This was the empire's number one advanced soul master academy. It was located twenty kilometers outside of the city, in a beautiful mountain range. It occupied an extremely vast area, about the size of a small city. The academy was equipped with all kinds of specialized cultivation facilities.

Among them, the most famous and fascinating one was the Soul Cultivation Environment!

Soul Cultivation Environment were based on a soul master's martial soul. They could choose different cultivation locations. If a soul master had a rabbit martial soul, they could cultivate in a shrub. If a soul master had a fire attribute martial soul, they could cultivate in a volcano. If a soul master had an ice attribute martial soul, they could cultivate in an ice mountain.

According to the characteristics of a soul master's martial soul, they could choose a suitable cultivation environment to greatly increase the soul master's cultivation speed. This was the principle and benefit of the Soul Cultivation Environment.

"I wonder if this Mimicry Cultivation Environment will be useful to me …."

David was filled with anticipation. He circulated his soulforce and increased his speed towards the Jade Summit Imperial Academy.

Roughly twenty minutes later, a majestic and luxurious academy gradually appeared. A golden signboard hung high above the entrance. On the signboard, there were several large words written in flamboyant calligraphy: Jade Summit Imperial Academy!

"I'm finally here."

David was overjoyed. He quickly walked towards the academy.

However, just as he stepped into the door, he was stopped by two guards standing guard at the door.

These two guards had strong bodies. They had the backs of tigers and the waists of bears. The guard on the left had some freckles on his face, while the guard on the right had a shallow scar on his face. Both of them were emitting a tyrannical aura. They seemed to be quite powerful.

Two Soul Grandmasters!

David's eyes trembled. He could feel that the strength of their soulforce far exceeded his. They were actually Soul Grandmasters above rank twenty!

"My apologies, but you don't seem to be a student of our academy. May I ask what business you have with us?!"

The scarred guard didn't act arrogantly because of his status as a Soul Grandmaster. Instead, he gave David the most humble smile and respectfully asked this.

"I'm here to enroll in the Jade Summit Imperial Academy." David replied.

"Oh, so it's like that."

Hearing this, the scarred guard's expression became even more humble. "My apologies, but may I ask which noble family you are from?!"

Under normal circumstances, students who came to enroll in the Jade Summit Imperial Academy were either rich or noble. They weren't people that a small guard like him could afford to offend. Thus, his attitude was extremely humble. He didn't dare to offend these noble young masters.

David was stunned. "I'm not a noble!"

"What?! You're not a noble?! "

The scarred guard immediately pulled a long face and said in a deep voice, "Not a noble? Then you're a commoner. Shoo shoo shoo! The Jade Summit Imperial Academy isn't a place for a pauper like you. Hurry up and leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

David furrowed his brows. Are all noble academies this corrupt?

David stood motionless in front of the academy's entrance. He didn't have any intention of leaving.

Seeing this, the two guards were enraged. "A commoner like you doesn't have the qualifications to enter the Jade Summit Imperial Academy! Scram, or we'll cripple you!"

"Qualifications? What qualifications do I need?!"

David's eyes were cold as he calmly looked at the two guards. "Is defeating the two of you enough?!"

"Hahahaha …"

A burst of mocking laughter rang out.

"Defeating us?" "With just you?!" The scarred guard crossed his arms and looked at David with disdain.

"It seems we'll have to teach you a lesson today!" the freckled guard sneered.

In the next moment, the two of them exploded with soul power. One white and one yellow, two dazzling soul rings rose from their bodies.

Two-ringed Soul Grandmasters!

"Haha, little brat, are you scared after seeing our two soul rings? A commoner like you probably won't even get a soul ring in your lifetime. Now that things have come to this, even if you kneel down and beg for mercy, we won't let you off so easily. Prepare yourself! "

The guards laughed maliciously. Martial soul phantoms in the shape of wild beasts appeared on the surface of their bodies. A purple wolf and a gray bear. Both of them were martial souls that focused on strength!

Tyrannical soul power surged out like a gale. They brandished their large fists, creating a gale that tore through the void as they fiercely punched towards David.

The wind from the incoming fist swept away the black hair in front of David's forehead, revealing a pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars. There was no fear on his face. The force in his palm exploded as he quickly pulled out the Shadowless Saber at his waist.

"Blade Drawing Technique!"

This blade was incomparably tyrannical. It carried the momentum of a thunderbolt as it collided with the two guards' fists.

"Bang — —"

With a loud bang, the two guards were sent flying backwards.

"Ah … how is this possible!"

The two guards' faces were deathly pale as they spat out mouthfuls of blood. The terrifying strength of the Blade Drawing Technique had sent them flying!

A single strike defeated two Soul Grandmasters!

David's eyes were cold as he skillfully sheathed his blade. He looked at the two battered and exhausted guards indifferently. "How is it? Am I qualified now?!"

The instantaneous explosive power of the Drawing Technique was extremely strong. In terms of strength, it was not weaker than an ordinary Beast Martial Soul. If he had not shown mercy, the two guards would have been dead by now.

He didn't want to cause any trouble at the entrance of the Jade Summit Imperial Academy. He only wanted to prove that he had the qualifications to enter the academy!

"Damn it!"

The guards felt indignant after being defeated by David with a single strike. They looked at David with resentment and threatened, "Brat, you … you just wait. How dare you cause trouble in our academy. When we call the guards over, we'll definitely beat you up until you're half-crippled!"

However, David had shown mercy and let the two of them off. Not only were they not grateful, they even clamored to go to the academy and call for people to teach David a lesson. They were extremely arrogant.

At this moment, a man in his thirties walked out of the academy.

He had simple black hair, an ordinary appearance, and a neat white robe. He was an ordinary man that no one would pay attention to in a crowd.

However, there was an aura as turbulent as the sea coming from his body!

"Teacher Ryan Black!"

Seeing the person who had come, the two guards were overjoyed. They ran over to Ryan and complained tearfully, "Teacher Ryan, this guy came to our academy to cause trouble and even unreasonably injured us. You have to uphold justice for us!"

"Shut up!"

However, what was surprising was that not only did Ryan not cover for him, he even coldly scolded the guard, "I was watching not far away just now. I understand everything clearly. How many times have I told you that there is no distinction between nobility and lowliness? Don't look down on others because of their status. Do the two of you still want this job of guarding? If you don't want it, then pack your bags and leave Jade Summit Academy today!"

"Teacher Ryan, we were wrong."

The two guards' faces flushed red as they lowered their heads in shame.

"The person you should be apologizing to isn't me. Go apologize to that youth!" Ryan pointed at David.

The guards walked over to David, their faces covered in dirt, and sincerely apologized, "Sorry, little brother. It's all our fault!"

David was stunned. It was as if he'd discovered a clear stream in the Noble Academy.

Ryan Black!

A Rank 62 assault-type Soul Emperor. His martial soul was the Blazing Ash Wolf. He was a disciple of the Shrek Academy and later came to Jade Summit Imperial Academy to teach. He was the highest ranked Jade Summit teacher in the academy.

In Jade Serpent World, Ryan Black was an extremely loyal person. Although he didn't appear many times, he left an unforgettable impression on the audience.

David still respected people like Ryan, who valued friendship and righteousness.

The storyline had just begun, so Ryan shouldn't have broken through to Rank 60 yet. At most, he should be ranked 57 or 58. From the battle between the Jade Summit Team and the Shrek Team, it was clear that he would break through to become a six-ringed Soul Emperor in a year.

"Hello, little brother. My name is Ryan Black. "I'm a teacher at Jade Summit Imperial Academy!" Ryan greeted David with a smile.

"Hello, Teacher Ryan. My name is David Thorne. "I'm here to enroll in Jade Summit Imperial Academy today," David said.

"Mn. You defeated two Soul Grandmasters in one strike. Your strength completely meets the requirements to enter the academy!"

Ryan nodded. He acknowledged David's strength. He muttered to himself for a moment, then furrowed his brows. "But the requirements are a little troublesome. Jade Summit Imperial Academy's first rule is that only noble students are accepted, so …"

At this point, he looked regretfully at David.

Even though Ryan had protested many times to the academy for this unreasonable system of only accepting students from noble families, this academy was actually controlled by the royal family. Those old fogies of the royal family who had a deep-rooted concept of bloodline were extremely stubborn and refused to back down.

Because of this, Jade Summit Academy had let go of countless outstanding talents.

"I understand!"

David couldn't help but sigh. He knew that he had no hope of entering Jade Summit Academy.

He wasn't too disappointed. All he had to do was continue to look for other places.

"Sorry to disturb you, Teacher Ryan!"

David politely bid farewell to Ryan and calmly turned to leave.

"Ai, what a pity."

Ryan looked at David's departing figure and sighed regretfully. He felt that he had let go of an outstanding student for nothing.

"Hehe …"

The two guards cast a gloating look at David and secretly sneered in their hearts.

At this moment, a group of soldiers wearing golden armor and riding war horses arrived in a grandiose manner, blocking David's path.

There were a total of twenty of them. Their bodies were strong, and their eyes were sharp. Every one of them exuded an extremely powerful aura. Vigorous soul power rippled out from them.

This was actually a powerful army of Soul Masters!

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the golden-armored soldiers jumped off their horses and knelt in front of David.

"We pay our respects to Your Highness!"

Everyone was shocked!
