"Boss, you're a true genius. Every piece of metal has its own unique texture. Once it's damaged, the effectiveness of the soul guide made from it will be greatly reduced. However, if its interior is not damaged, the effectiveness of the soul guide made from the Hundred Forged Metal will be greatly increased."
"This is a truly brilliant discovery, enough to revolutionize the world of soul guides."
Zui Hongchen looked at Xu Tianyang excitedly, his chubby little face full of excitement. He knew very well what role this technology would play in the development of soul guides.
It is not an exaggeration to call it earth-shaking.
"Well, it's fine as long as it works, but why haven't you broken through to the Soul Master level yet? Your martial soul talent will increase as your strength increases, and cultivation is the foundation of everything."
Listening to Zui Hongchen's report, Xu Tianyang nodded. Soul guides are slowly developing. During this period, the development of soul guides in the Sun and Moon Continent did not pay too much attention to the forging and purification of materials, so there is a lot of room for improvement.
Hearing Xu Tianyang's somewhat 'disdainful' words, Zui Hongchen's face turned bitter, and he said eagerly: "Boss, do you think everyone is you? You are born with full soul power. I have only awakened my martial soul for two months, and now I have reached the ninth level of soul power. It's already very fast."
"Research on soul guides can be put aside for now. Cultivation is the top priority. The high-level soul guides in the empire are currently too busy to allocate manpower to form a dedicated research team to study this area. Taking advantage of this time, it is most important to improve your cultivation."
After pondering for a while, Xu Tianyang looked at the two of them seriously and said that because of the upcoming decisive battle, all the high-level soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire had been withdrawn, and Xu Tianyang could not find a few experts to study this aspect.
With the little fat boy's cultivation level, a hundred forgings is already the limit, and he does not have the cultivation level to support a thousand forgings. At this stage, cultivation is still the most important.
"Besides, if you don't upgrade to a Soul Master as soon as possible, how can you improve your Soul Instructor level?"
In the production of soul guides, each level corresponds to the level of the soul master. Without sufficient cultivation support, high-level soul guides cannot be produced. Even the most talented people can only stay in the theoretical aspect.
As soon as Xu Tianyang said this, not only Zui Hongchen, but also Huang Xiuwen's face froze. He is now also level nine, one step away from level ten. Although his talent in soul guides is not as good as Zui Hongchen's, it is not bad either.
It can be said that the top families in the Sun-Moon Empire are all quite strong in soul guides.
He also wants to become a formal soul mentor as soon as possible.
"The same goes for Xiu Wen!" After saying this, Xu Tianyang did not forget Huang Xiu Wen.
"Got it, Boss!"
Half a year passed quietly.
After six months of college life, Xu Tianyang has gradually become accustomed to this kind of life. It is also a pleasure to watch the little carrot heads playing in the college every day.
During this period, Xu Yunxiao and Mu Mengyu became increasingly busy. In the past three months, Xu Tianyang had not seen them once. No one told him about the war situation between the two countries. However, the imperial capital was peaceful, as if it was not affected at all.
It seems that the Sun-Moon Empire still has the upper hand in the war, otherwise the Imperial Capital would not be in this state.
During the past six months, Xu Tianyang's cultivation level has increased by two levels, and Huang Xiuwen and Zui Hongchen have also become soul masters, and by the way, they have completed the assessment of first-level soul instructors.
That day, everyone attended classes as usual. With the arrival of Lin Ximeng, she did not bring any textbooks with her. She walked to the podium empty-handed, looked at everyone and said softly, "Classmates, you have been studying in school for half a year, and many of you have reached the Soul Master level. Today, we will not have a theoretical class, but a practical class. Follow the teacher."
After hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with excitement. Soul masters were destined to be full of fighting spirits. They had been looking forward to the academy's practical classes for a long time. Now that they heard that they were going to have practical classes, they excitedly stood up quickly and followed Lin Ximeng's footsteps.
The Soul Fighting Area is an important and indispensable area of the Soul Master Academy. The Soul Fighting Area of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy is located in a huge area in the northeast corner of the academy.
This is a place that students often visit. Various competitions can be held here. There are special teachers as referees. There is no threat to life, and it is the best actual combat venue.
The fighting spirit area is divided into six major areas according to the level, from soul master to soul emperor, there is a corresponding area.
Everyone followed Lin Ximeng to the Soul Fighting Area, which belonged to the Soul Master level. The Soul Fighting Area was very large, enough to accommodate thousands of people, and the central open space was a huge arena.
At this time, besides Lin Ximeng, there were two teachers. One was an ordinary person with a smiling face and looked very friendly. The other one exuded a faint breath of life. It seemed that he was a healing soul master who came to facilitate the first-time treatment of students who were accidentally injured.
"Next, the soul masters in the class will be divided into one group, and those who have not yet been promoted to soul masters will be divided into another group. They will fight against each other in pairs by drawing lots." After Lin Ximeng greeted the two teachers, she looked around at everyone and said with a smile.
After quickly watching the battle between the weak soul masters, it was the turn of a group of eight soul masters to appear.
Among the eight people, in addition to Xu Tianyang, Xu Nianshuang, Zui Hongchen, and Huang Xiuwen, who have the highest innate soul power, there are four students whose innate soul power has reached level seven, among whom Iron Armored Bear Wang Yan and Wild Wind Sword Lu Yu are prominently listed.
The remaining two are Yang Ruoruo with the Ice Wolf spirit and Yi Mingyu with the Sky Star Chessboard spirit.
After half a year of getting along with each other, Xu Tianyang also got to know the background of these four people. They were all descendants of powerful soul master families in the Sun-Moon Empire.
Only with the help of the family's resources can they improve their soul power by three levels in half a year and break through to the soul master level.
"It's over!!!"
Just after the drawing of lots was over, a loud cry of "miserable" echoed in the fighting arena.
"...#" Xu Tianyang looked at the frightened Zui Hongchen with a frown. They had just drawn lots, and the result was that the two of them would fight.
But am I that terrible?
"Hehe, Fatty, you're done!" Huang Xiuwen, who was standing aside, saw this and a gloating expression appeared on his face. At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. His opponent was Lu Yu, the Wind Sword. Relying on the advantage of his martial soul, he was still in a good position to win this battle.
"Why are you so proud? If you win, you will meet the boss sooner or later." Seeing his friend's smug expression, Zui Hongchen kindly reminded him.
Huang Xiuwen's mouth suddenly froze before he could close it.
"Hehe, boss, you have to be gentle later. My thin arms and legs can't stand it." Zui Hongchen approached Xu Tianyang with a flattering look on his face.
"Boring!"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Nianshuang said coldly and walked directly towards the fighting arena.
"Fatty, witness the power of the ancient mythical beast, the three-legged golden toad. I won't hold back later."
Looking at the serious Xu Tianyang, Zui Hongchen also put away his flattering expression and became serious. As a genius, he naturally had his own pride. He just expressed his attitude to His Highness.
On the fighting spirit arena, Huang Xiuwen and Lu Yu were the first to come on stage to compete. As the two were possessed by their martial spirits, two yellow spirit rings rose up. Huang Xiuwen immediately took off into the air and attacked Lu Yu using guerrilla tactics.
Most soul masters have no way to deal with flying soul masters in the early stages. Huang Xiuwen's martial soul, the Purple Lightning Pterosaur, is a dragon-type martial soul. It not only has an extremely fast flying speed, but also has strong attack power. It can be said that it is inherently invincible.
On the court, Lu Yu could only play passive defense, and the game felt extremely frustrating.
If you defend for too long, you will lose. After five minutes, Lu Yu was knocked to the ground by Huang Xiuwen and was defeated.
The second match was a battle of spirits between Xu Nianshuang and Yang Ruoruo. Both of them were girls, and both had ice attributes, so they were quite confrontational.
However, the battle ended even faster than the first one.
Both sides released their martial spirits and spirit rings. Xu Nianshuang's spirit ring lit up, and frost suddenly fell around them. The temperature dropped sharply. Then Xu Nianshuang instantly crossed the distance between the two sides and appeared in front of Yang Ruoruo. In the blink of an eye, an ice crystal sword was against the opponent's throat.
The battle ended in an instant.
"Wow—"
The result of the fight between the two immediately caused an uproar. Everyone looked at Xu Nianshuang in surprise, and a chill rose in their hearts. How could they fight? They had no idea how the other party moved. With their reaction speed, they could not resist at all.
"That's... teleportation, right?" Huang Xiuwen said hesitantly, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
Teleportation, a simple yet powerful soul skill, is one of the soul skills that soul masters most desire to obtain among many soul skills.
"How is it possible for the first soul skill to teleport, and at such a long distance?" Zui Hongchen also exclaimed in surprise.
"No, it should be a replacement."
When the battle started, Xu Tianyang paid attention to the two people in the field. He noticed something different. There was an inconspicuous little ice crystal at the original position of Xu Nianshuang. Thinking of the frost that had just fallen, he already had a guess in his mind.
Even so, this first soul skill is enough to be called top-grade, and is not much inferior to his own first soul skill.
The third soul battle ended quickly. Yi Mingyu, who possessed the Heavenly Star Chessboard Martial Soul, defeated the Iron Armored Bear King Yan and won.
Soon, Xu Tianyang and Zui Hongchen stood on the fighting arena.
"That must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
As Xu Tianyang came on stage, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the eyes of the three teachers not far away also fell on Xu Tianyang.
His identity was no secret. Xu was the royal surname of the Sun-Moon Empire. Among the royal generation, he was the only one whose age matched his. It was easy for anyone with an eye to guess his identity.
"As expected of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Teacher Lin is so lucky to have a master-disciple relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Looking at Xu Tianyang, the other two teachers looked at Lin Ximeng enviously.
Lin Ximeng smiled without saying anything, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xu Tianyang in the field. She was afraid that if she showed off too much, she would not be able to leave the school gate.
In the field, Xu Tianyang looked at Zui Hongchen with a serious gaze. Even a lion would use all its strength to fight a rabbit. He would not underestimate any opponent.
Zui Hongchen was a little nervous, but he also looked extremely serious. Until now, everyone had only heard from the opening of the school that Xu Tianyang's martial soul was a variation of the royal sun martial soul, the Sun Pupil.
Although some were surprised that Xu Tianyang was not one of the royal family's inherited martial souls, no one dared to underestimate the other party's martial soul. Any mutated martial soul had only two results: getting stronger or getting weaker.
With Xu Tianyang's innate talent of full soul power, he would definitely mutate to become stronger.
To this day, no one knows the specific effects of his martial spirit.
"The fighting spirit begins."
