Chapter 40: Is It in the River?
Du Qianjue and Xue Linglong exchanged confused looks. Xue Linglong was puzzled, and Du Qianjue was bewildered.
"So, what exactly does it feel like when attributes conflict?" Du Qianjue asked.
Xue Linglong frowned. This question stumped her because she had no idea! For seventy thousand years, she had only cultivated ice attributes and had never practiced other attributes. How would she know what attribute conflict felt like?
Moreover, there had never been someone like Du Qianjue in Douluo Continent's history—someone rebellious enough to use his body as an experimental ground, piling on various top-tier attribute soul rings.
Even if someone wanted to, where would they find so many ten-thousand-year soul rings to use?
"Do you think... it's possible that my body just doesn't experience attribute conflicts at all?" Du Qianjue stroked his smooth chin, deep in thought.
[Remember, give me the best possible body!]
Du Qianjue vaguely recalled saying this to the planet's consciousness. Could it be that the guy took it literally and really gave him a cheat-level body?
Xue Linglong and Du Bushi exchanged glances and saw the same answer in each other's eyes.
It was possible!
This kid's power growth never followed the normal path. He had been fed countless opportunities and treasures. All those unbelievable experiences had already happened. Adding another positive buff like no attribute conflict seemed... reasonable?
It was reasonable... but it was ridiculous!
Xue Linglong and Du Bushi were baffled.
People born with multiple attributes naturally wouldn't have conflicts. That was normal. But how could someone who gained various attributes through soul rings have no conflicts in their body?
Even those born with multiple attributes worried about one attribute becoming too dominant, leading to imbalance and potentially causing their body to explode.
Yet here was Du Qianjue, who wasn't born with any special attribute control talent, apparently handling multiple attributes just fine.
The three stared at each other, unable to find an answer. Eventually, they could only give up and head back home.
After all, everything was going well, right? Attribute conflicts hadn't arisen, and his power growth was still just as unreasonable.
Why worry about it?
Just go with the flow!
Thus, the three returned to the Body Sect. Meanwhile, a teacher from Tiandou Empire's Dio Academy had arrived at the Body Sect.
When the headmaster of Dio Academy learned that the current heir of the Body Sect was coming to attend, he nearly fainted.
Dio Academy, being the imperial academy of Tiandou Empire, was already filled with nobles and second-generation elites, making the lives of the academy's high-ups miserable.
Now they had to deal with the heir of all heirs? And an unrivaled genius who hadn't appeared in millennia?
The headmaster almost cried.
With such incredible talent, why not go to Shrek Academy and cause trouble there? Why come to our humble Dio Academy?
The headmaster feared that if this young lord wasn't comfortable at the academy, Du Bushi would come knocking and rip the academy's roof off!
Refusing wasn't an option either.
If they accepted the young lord and treated him well, things might remain peaceful. If they didn't accept him, they wouldn't have to wait for the young lord to throw a tantrum—Du Bushi would descend upon them in no time.
So, the helpless headmaster sent a recruitment teacher to the Body Sect to personally escort the young lord to Dio Academy.
Thus, the Body Sect now had a very nervous Dio Academy recruitment teacher.
This teacher was practically trembling. As a mere Soul Emperor, he was terrified in the Body Sect, where a random stone might hit a Soul Sage or Soul Douluo.
He spent two and a half days in this torturous state before Du Qianjue and his group finally returned.
Upon seeing Du Qianjue, the teacher was practically in tears, and then he noticed something even more shocking.
He almost fainted again!
He saw what? The heir of the Body Sect was already a Soul Emperor?
"Did my forty or fifty years of life go to the dogs? The master misled me, the master misled me!" the teacher cried silently.
What did they mean by 'there are no useless spirits, only useless soul masters'?
Compared to this Body Sect heir, I don't even qualify as trash!
Before Du Qianjue could say a word, he saw the teacher's expression change dramatically.
"???"
"Teacher, are you okay?" Du Qianjue asked cautiously.
"What's wrong with Dio Academy? Why send a lunatic for recruitment?" Du Bushi frowned, sounding displeased.
The teacher shuddered at Du Bushi's words and quickly regained his composure.
"Greetings, Honored Body Sect Master! I am the academy's recruitment teacher, here to enroll the heir," the teacher said carefully, pulling out the enrollment forms from his soul guide.
Du Qianjue took the forms and quickly filled out his basic information, omitting some details.
Student Name: Du Qianjue
Martial Soul: Body
Soul Power Level: Sixty-seven
Soul Rings: Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black
Affiliated Sect: Body Sect
That was it. He left out the miscellaneous details. Dio Academy wouldn't dare to question him anyway.
"Oh, and I want a single dorm room, a big one," Du Qianjue reminded the teacher after handing back the form.
He planned to take his wife to school, so sharing a room with others wasn't an option.
"Of course, young master, we'll make sure it's arranged!" the teacher replied with a bow.
"If there's nothing else, you can leave now," Du Bushi waved him off.
"Yes, young master, the reporting date is in three days," the teacher reminded before quickly fleeing the Body Sect.
It was like escaping a dragon's den!
Outside the Body Sect, the teacher felt like he had narrowly escaped death.
He had seen more Title Douluos in the past two and a half days than he ever had in his entire life!
Once the Dio Academy people left, Du Qianjue and Xue Linglong returned to his courtyard.
"Xue'er, do you want to come to school with me?" Du Qianjue asked, hugging her on the swing, smiling.
Xue Linglong rolled her eyes playfully and firmly shook her head.
"Hmph, who dares teach this emperor?" Xue Linglong's face was full of invincibility.
Du Qianjue pouted. Having such a powerful wife had its downsides; he couldn't even share a school experience with her.
Seeing his mood, Xue Linglong gently kissed his cheek.
"I won't go. While you're at school, I can return to the Extreme North. After all, I am the ruler there."
"Alright then."
