"I also didn't expect that Big Brother Xue would be in charge of Heaven Dou Royal Academy at this time."
"Then, I'll be relying on Big Brother Xue for guidance from now on."
Lu Yuan truly hadn't expected that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would be under Xue Qinghe's control at this time.
After all, the original work didn't record the specific person managing the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Hahaha, no problem, no problem."
"In a moment, I'll write a letter of introduction to send Little Brother Lu to Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"To recruit such a peerless Prodigy for the Academy, even if Imperial Father knew, he would surely be overjoyed."
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly. For a Genius like Lu Yuan, even if Heaven Dou Royal Academy had a rule of only recruiting nobles, an exception would be made, especially with his recommendation now added.
Winning over Lu Yuan was Qian Renxue's goal, but she was quite measured. In this first meeting, she didn't directly try to win him over. Instead, she showed gentle concern for Lu Yuan.
After arriving in Heaven Dou City, she even actively invited Lu Yuan to stay at the Crown Prince's Mansion.
When Lu Yuan refused, she wasn't angry at all and still kindly helped Lu Yuan write a letter of recommendation.
Watching the carriage gradually move away, a hint of admiration appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes.
"If I didn't know that this Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue in disguise, I might truly be deceived by the way she presented herself. What excellent acting!"
Lu Yuan thought with some emotion, gaining an even deeper impression of Qian Renxue's acting skills.
No wonder she could gather the support of many forces and maneuver through the imperial struggles to secure the position of Crown Prince. She was indeed extraordinary.
It's just a pity that her performance was too perfect, which gave it a sense of being an overly superficial castle in the air.
Looking at the letter of recommendation in his hand, Lu Yuan thought for a moment and then put it into his Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges. Since he had already entered Qian Renxue's sight, there was nothing worth hiding. After all, what Qian Renxue wanted was to win him over, not to harm his life.
Glancing at the time, Lu Yuan decided to find a place to stay first.
He would first meditate to restore his spirit power, and then plan for the Immortal Herb and his second spirit ring... "Your Highness, that young man Lu Yuan has extraordinary talent. If you wish to recruit him, why not state it directly? With your status, he will surely serve you."
Snake Lance Douluo appeared silently in the carriage. He had been secretly protecting Xue Qinghe the whole time. Now, seeing Lu Yuan leave, he finally revealed himself and asked, somewhat perplexed.
"Talented individuals in the world are like wild horses. To completely subdue them, relying solely on status is useless. What I want is his absolute loyalty, from the inside out."
"Uncle Snake Lance, send someone to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to give a greeting and ask the three Teaching Committee Members to take good care of Lu Yuan. After all, I just promised to look after him."
Xue Qinghe disdained using his status to make Lu Yuan completely submit. He was confident that he could rely on his personal charisma to make Lu Yuan completely loyal to him.
"As you command, Your Highness. Then, do I need to arrange for someone to follow this Lu Yuan?"
"After all, Lu Yuan's talent is extraordinary. If he joins other forces, it would truly be a loss."
Snake Lance Douluo spoke cautiously. Lu Yuan looked to be only seven or eight years old. To reach level twenty at such an age, it could be said that in the entire Douluo Continent, only His Highness in front of him could surpass him in talent.
"There's no need for that. The person I set my eyes on cannot escape my grasp."
"Let's go back. Have someone investigate Lu Yuan's background and then give it to me."
A hint of confidence flashed across Xue Qinghe's handsome face. All the great talents in this world would eventually fall into his net.
Snake Lance Douluo said nothing more, his figure disappearing directly, preparing to do as Xue Qinghe instructed... Ending his meditation, Lu Yuan opened his eyes.
After eating a simple meal, he headed directly out of Heaven Dou City.
Heaven Dou City, as the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, could be said to be the dignity of the nation. In this place, no one except Titled Douluo was allowed to fly. Once discovered, it was considered a provocation to the Heaven Dou Empire.
Even most Titled Douluo who came to Heaven Dou City generally would not choose to fly unless a conflict broke out. Although the Heaven Dou Empire seemingly didn't have a single Titled Douluo on the surface, a million-strong army was no joke after all.
Leaving Heaven Dou City, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he noticed no one stopping him. It seemed Xue Qinghe hadn't directly sent people to monitor him.
That's right. After all, with Xue Qinghe's pride, even if he wanted to win him over, he wouldn't resort to monitoring or coercion.
After all, his talent was the most terrifying of this era: a God-bestowed Spirit and Innate level twenty spirit power.
In the boundless sky.
Lu Yuan transformed into a golden streak of light, rapidly flying forward.
Sunset Forest was not too far from Heaven Dou City. At Lu Yuan's flying speed, it didn't even take half an hour to reach the outskirts of the forest.
Although Sunset Forest was also known as one of the three great Spirit Beast gathering places on the Douluo Continent, it was completely incomparable to Star Dou Great Forest.
Not only in terms of area, but also in the number of Spirit Beasts, there was a huge disparity.
But walking into the forest still gave Lu Yuan a sense of impact he had never experienced before. Although Lu Yuan had been to the Spirit Hunting Forest when he obtained his first spirit ring, that impact was completely incomparable.
The sky was dim, weeds and vegetation grew rampant, and the air was even interwoven with the smell of decay and dampness.
"It's a good thing I specifically read some information about Sunset Forest in the Nuoding Academy library before coming, otherwise I might really get lost in this forest."
Lu Yuan looked around, his gaze somewhat wary.
He came alone this time. Although he was confident that even a five-thousand-year Spirit Beast could be repelled with his full strength, he still had to be careful.
After all, in this dangerous forest, many Spirit Masters, relying on their powerful strength, carelessly lost their lives.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan's gaze sharpened, he snorted coldly, and casually shot out a golden lightning bolt!
The lightning streaked across the sky and landed directly in the bushes not far from him!
The sizzling current illuminated the area three to four meters around, and a charred smell also emanated from the bushes.
"Withered Leaf Vine Snake, highly venomous, known as the 'three-step fall'!"
Looking at the charred small snake, which had been killed by a lightning bolt and even had a white spirit ring appearing on its body, Lu Yuan couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
It was a good thing he was careful, otherwise, being bitten would also be troublesome.
His target this time was a Spirit Beast called the Thunder Devouring Savage Bull, known for its strength. Not only was its lightning attribute manipulation extremely powerful, but it also had impressive speed.
Because of its considerable strength and large size, it was definitely a hegemon in the outer regions.
Considering the size of Sunset Forest, Lu Yuan had even prepared himself to stay in the forest for the next week.
But whether it was luck or fate, only half a day passed.
A... appeared before him.
