12 Heaven Dou Imperial Academy

"We finally had arrived" Haotian said to Biyun and Meijing as they reach an immense golden gate, incredibly refined decorated, making a sense of majesty "To Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."

In front of the three, stood one if not the considered the most important academies over the Heaven Dou Empire, just at the outskirts of the capital, Heaven Dou City. It was sponsored by the empire itself, making it have every possible facility to create the best environment to cultivate, encompassing an area of a small city as its own.

After seeing the match of the Emperor Team vs Shrek Seven Devils, Haotian had decided his new move. He would ignore Shrek for now, putting his sight on other places. They had gained enough funds for the travel in the Arena. Then, they immediately went towards the magnificent Heaven Dou City.

If it was Haotian at his 6 years, he would have decided to try to Shrek, doing anything possible to make his dream harem, adding every Shrek in them. However, after suffering for 5 years, realizing the cruelty of the world, his mind had matured and turned colder and more rational.

Seeing the match, Haotian had already discovered, it was too late. Shrek Seven Devils devils were already created, their bond while not impregnable as in the future, they were strong. Haotian knew it, he wouldn't be able to make Shrek's girls fall in love with him easily, at least not quickly enough before they surpassed his cultivation too much. And forcing his way out wasn't an option as he lacked strength.

While Haotian's spirit could greatly affect girls, making them more excited, boosting their emotions, it had some limits. If the girl was much weaker than him, he would be able to force his way, even control her desires and body, but if the girl was a higher rank, he was unable at all. He could only incite them, needing preexistent feelings for him. It had been the case with Biyun, Haotian was able to take her due to her weakened and broken state and her feelings for him. If it weren't for that, even raping her wouldn't have created the link as her resistance would have been too strong.

The only one that he could think about would have been Rongrong and it was only due to her clan. Haotian should be able to awaken Rongrong's potential, awakening her Nine Pagoda and being a good pair with her due to his strength. But it was difficult to show previously and he really didn't know how Rongrong's father could react. There were too many unknowns.

Moreover, Haotian's priorities had changed. First of all, he needed to become strong, the strongest. For that, he would need girls to push his cultivation, the girls needing to be strong enough to follow him even to godhood.

Shrek's girls like told in the novel had that potential, following the plot naturally becoming goddesses. But, even if he was able to take them, making them his 3rd, 4th and 5th ring, then what? There were very few people with the potential of ascending to godhood and it was very inviable to take them all.

However, with his spirit, Haotian had the possibility to refine girls' spirit, increasing their talent and potential, making it more effective the younger the girl was and mostly useless to old hags. This way, now it was the time when it was possible to take a new girl who wouldn't be able to advance to godhood, pushing her talent to be able to reach it. Similar to Biyun and Meijing that now had monstrous talent and a bright future, but without him, they wouldn't have been able to even cultivate.

It would be later on when Shrek's talent would bloom and let their generation behind. Now it was only the time for Haotian to have a wide choice, as he becomes older and stronger his options would become more limited.

Thinking like this, what better place to search for a new girl than the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy? Inside, nobles were bloomed to be the future strength of the empire. Even if most nobles' strength was weak due to their upbringing, laziness and arrogance, it couldn't be negated that they had the strongest spirits, far stronger than the usual commoner, making it more useful for Haotian's spirit. He could push the girl's talent and train her later, so it was no problem. And knowing the usual noble's greed, they would even gift their children to him.

Having decided and having reached the academy's gate, the first problem appeared. How could they become students of the academy? Haotian had already thought of it.

Haotian turned to the gates and saw two guards watching it out, a grin appeared on his face

"Yunyun, Mei" He turned to the girls "Take care of them"

Both girls nodded and slowly approached the guards.

The guards seeing the girls didn't react at first, stunned by their beauty. But once they saw their eyes, Biyun's cold eyes and Meijing's emotionless ones, almost exuding killing intent, they recovered their cool.

"Hey, stop!" The guards commanded "From here on, this place is restricted. No one can enter, except for Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's students. If you made a step forward, we will use the for-"

Before he could finish the phrase, blue flames surged from Biyun's hands, making him an ice statue.

"What?!" Shouted shocked his companion. He tried to activate his own spirit, but he was too slow. Before he could react, Meijing was already at his side. Meijing's spirit flashed for an instant and the guard's body fell on the ground unconscious, not even being able to see the swift hit of Meijing.

Haotian stepped forward "I will do the honors" His rings shined, his Seven Kill Sword appeared in his hand, but with blue flames surrounding it, with a layer of ice around it, changing his usual image.

Haotian took the sword in his hip, like if a sheath was there. With an unsheathing swing, a sword slash formed by blue flames shot towards the gate. That was the new self-created skill of Haotian trying to emulate Meijing's slash, using the sharpness and killing intent of the Seven Kill Sword and manifesting and strengthening with the flames of the Pure Yin Phoenix, accomplishing a slash with cutting and freezing power.

"Boom!" The blade exploded with the gate, freezing over 10 meters of it and cutting enough space for the three of them to pass through.

The three calmed crossed the gate, slowly walking forward the main building at the distance.

"Who are you?!" Someone shouted, a group of 7 students wearing what seemed to be the school uniform, white with golden lines, appeared in front of Haotian's group, attracted by the sound.

"How you dare to come here? Commoners!" Who seemed to be the leader shouted in anger. However, when he looked attentively at the girls, his eyes shined with lust "Take care of them, but don't touch the girls. I want to play with them later" He said as he licked his mouth.

His followers launched towards the three, all of them activating their spirit, each of them with two yellow rings under them.

Biyun stepped forward, her first ring shined as she traced a line in the air with her finger. The blue line traced shot forward, landing on the ground just where the followers were about to step. Blue flames surged from the traced line, encompassing them in an ice wall, unable to move.

Meijing's rings shined, her sword became red as its attack power was amplificated. She swung her sword widely sidewards, a wide sword slash shooting towards the ice wall.

"Aggg!" The followers shouted in pain as the slash hit them, shooting them with the broken ice pieces. They crashed to the ground with some injuries, complaining in pain and unable to stand up.

"How you dare?!" The leader shouted angrily stepping forward, three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple shining under him, his body bulged as he used his spirit, some kind of a bear appearing at his back.

Haotian stepped forward the girls without even using any spirit. "You dare to look down at me?! Die, commoner!" The leader punched Haotian as his first ring shined, his fist doubling its size.

Seeing the attack, Haotian looked coldly and crossed both arms.

"Bang!" The big fist hit Haotian's arms. The leader expected to break Haotian's arms. Nobody could directly receive one of his attacks without even his spirit. However, the results shocked him.

"H-how?" He said shocked and nervous as he saw his fist being stopped, unable to push Haotian more than two meters before being stopped.

If Haotian was confident in something it was in his body strength, already having reached the strength of a strength-oriented spirit ancestor. It would have been different if the other had used his 1000 years old skill, but with his first skill, it was impossible for him to hurt Haotian.

"Let me show you, how to punch" Haotian grinned, his right hand shined as he activated his body spirit, focusing his strength over his hand and punching forward.

"Buarrg!" The punch directly hit, the leader's stomach, his defense being pierced as he was shot flying over 20 meters while vomiting blood.

"What is all of this?!" A powerful voice resounded over the academies ground. A middle-aged man appeared. He had black hair with a very ordinary appearance with the exemption of his dark eyes that shined with a strong light.

He looked at his surroundings, seeing the injured group of students and the destroyed gate, turning towards the youth that seemed the culprits.

Seeing their younger looks, he was a little surprised by all the damage done, but he kept his shock hidden with a serious face "Who are you?" He asked with neutrality, wanting to know the situation before acting. It would be bad for the school if a teacher like him acted wrongly.

The air around Haotian made a 180º turn. "Good morning, sir." He made a polite little bow towards the man who he thought was most probably a teacher. "I am Hu Haotian and the misses following me are..." He presented towards the girls.

"I am Ma Biyun" Biyun made a little curtsey.

"I am Chen Meijing" Meijing simply lowered her head.

"Haotian lifted his head and with a smile said "We will like to attend this academy".
