"From this day forward! The title of the strongest on the continent shall belong to the Heavenly King—Your Majesty Su Xin!"
The moment the host uttered those words,
The once deathly silent Soul Arena suddenly erupted into an unprecedented frenzy of cheers!
"Heavenly King!!!"
"Heavenly King!!!"
"Heavenly King!!!"
Countless people stood up from their seats, waving their arms and shouting Su Xin's name at the top of their lungs!
At this moment, Su Xin had become a living legend in their hearts!
It is an invincible myth!
Just as the audience was still immersed in cheers, a majestic voice instantly drowned out all the noise.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi had arrived at the center of the arena at some point.
The Blood Night Emperor cleared his throat and announced in a loud and solemn voice:
"I am greatly pleased by today's grand gathering!"
"We not only witnessed the rise of a new generation of genius Soul Masters, but also saw the unparalleled divine power of the guardian deity of the Tiandou Empire—King Tianwei!"
"This is a blessing for the empire and a boon for all its people!"
Blood Night Emperor's words instantly resonated with the entire audience, erupting into another thunderous cheer.
"The Heavenly King is mighty!"
"Invincible in battle, accomplished in both literature and martial arts, and destined for eternal glory!"
The Blood Night Emperor nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued:
"Your Majesty the Heavenly King is not only unparalleled in strength, but also possesses a sincere heart dedicated to cultivating pillars of the empire!"
"Just now, he expressed his feelings to me."
"I will personally select a group of outstanding young geniuses from among the contestants of this Soul Master Competition."
"Establish a 'gifted youth class' and personally teach them!"
The moment this news broke, the entire Soul Arena erupted in chaos!
All the young Soul Masters participating were so excited that they trembled and their breathing became rapid.
The Heavenly King is going to take on disciples? And personally teach them?!
What an incredible opportunity! Just look at the six girls in Shrek Academy!
One by one, their martial souls evolved, their strength skyrocketed, and at a young age they possessed the terrifying power to challenge opponents of higher levels!
If I could also receive personal instruction from the Heavenly King... then my future achievements would be limitless!
In an instant, the hearts of all the young Soul Masters were set ablaze!
Even the teams that had already been eliminated were now filled with regret.
If they had known there was such a good thing, they should have given it their all during the competition!
"Your Majesty! Such a grand event as the Heavenly King accepting disciples must be strongly supported to demonstrate the Empire's love for talent."
A high-ranking nobleman couldn't help but speak up loudly.
"Hahaha! Well said!"
The Blood Night Emperor gave the man an approving look, then dropped an even bigger bombshell!
"To show my full support for the Emperor's move, and to inspire all the young talents of the empire!"
"I hereby declare!"
"All students who are chosen by His Majesty the Heavenly King and selected for the 'Youth Class'!"
"Regardless of background or origin!"
"Once selected, he will be immediately granted the title of Imperial Marquis!"
"A reward of one million Soul Coins! And a Marquis's mansion!"
"Within three generations of their family, all members can enjoy the privileges of imperial nobility!"
The Blood Night Emperor's voice, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded in everyone's ears!
Everyone was stunned by this news!
That's a marquis!
In the Tiandou Empire, this is the highest and most powerful title, second only to the royal family!
Throughout the entire empire, in the hundreds of years since its founding, only a handful of people have been granted the title of marquis!
Each and every one of them is an unparalleled powerhouse who has made outstanding contributions to the empire!
But now, as long as you catch the eye of the Heavenly King, you can be immediately granted a marquisate?!
This... this is simply a meteoric rise to the top!
If the news of King Tianwei accepting disciples only excited and inspired those young soul masters...
Now, Emperor Blood Night's promise has completely ignited everyone's madness!
"A marquisate! My God! If I could become a marquis in this lifetime, it would be worth dying for!"
"Your Majesty, Heavenly King! Choose me! Choose me!"
"I have an awesome martial soul, a level 38 Battle Soul Master! I'm willing to be your slave!"
"Get lost! You ugly, deformed thing like you don't even deserve it!"
"Your Majesty! Look at me! My martial soul is even more awesome, I have extraordinary talent, and I'm as beautiful as a flower!"
In an instant, the entire Soul Arena descended into unprecedented chaos and madness.
All the young soul masters participating in the competition desperately released their martial souls and soul rings in an attempt to attract Su Xin's attention.
Even the most outstanding talents like Feng Xiaotian from Shenfeng Academy, Huo Wu from Zhihuo Academy, and Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy...
They all looked eager at that moment.
For these academy geniuses who already came from extraordinary backgrounds, titles might not be that important.
However, the opportunity to become Su Xin's student is one that must be seized.
They knew very well that as long as they could become Su Xin's disciples, their future achievements would be limitless!
Compared to the allure of becoming a god or a saint, what is a mere marquis's title?
Su Xin hovered in mid-air, his gaze slowly sweeping across the crowd below.
Finally, it settled on three beautiful figures.
"You, get out of the queue."
Su Xin raised his hand and pointed at a girl with fiery red long hair and a voluptuous figure.
It was none other than Huo Wu, the captain of Blazing Academy!
The moment Su Xin called out his name, the dancer was completely stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
"I...I was chosen?"
It wasn't until her teacher excitedly nudged her that she snapped out of her daze.
She quickly stepped out of the line, her pretty face flushed red with excitement.
"And you two, come out too."
Su Xin's gaze then turned to the Tian Shui Academy team, landing on the two stunningly beautiful sisters.
"We...we were chosen too?!"
Shui Yue'er was so excited she almost jumped up, grabbing her sister's hand and speaking incoherently with excitement.
Shui Bing'er still maintains the aloofness of an ice queen on the surface.
But the barely concealed joy in her eyes betrayed the unease in her heart.
Under the envious and jealous gazes of tens of thousands of people in the audience, the three goddess-level girls slowly walked to the center of the competition stage.
Then she raised her head, looking up at the god-like man, her heart filled with excitement and... trepidation.
"From this day forward, you are my students."
"You guys, are you willing?"
"I am willing!"
Without a second thought, the dancer was the first to kneel down on one knee and shout in an incredibly firm voice.
"Students dance, greetings to the teacher!"
"Student Shui Bing'er (Shui Yue'er) greets teacher!"
The two sisters, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, followed closely behind and bowed gracefully.
"Good! Good! Good!"
At this moment, the Blood Night Emperor excitedly walked up to the crowd.
Looking at the three stunningly beautiful girls kneeling on one knee, his satisfaction and admiration were almost overflowing.
"Get up, children!"
"To be chosen by His Majesty the Heavenly King is an honor for you, and also for the Empire!"
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er and the other two stood up somewhat awkwardly and stood gracefully to the side.
Seeing this, Xue Ye nodded repeatedly, and then announced loudly:
"Disciple of the Heavenly King! He is destined to be a pillar of the empire, and a title is within his reach. I hereby bestow this honor upon him in court!"
"Ning Rongrong, whose martial soul is the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, possesses unparalleled support abilities. She is hereby conferred the title of—Nine-Colored Marquis!"
"Zhu Zhuyun, whose martial soul is the Nine-Phantom Cat, is a master of assassination. She is hereby conferred the title of—Marquis of the Shadow!"
