—------------------—
The Royal Academy of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Walking out of the underground research institute, Xu Tianyang looked up at the sunlight, which was still dazzling.
Sensing an extra piece of dark blue metal in the storage soul guide, this was the piece of Thousand Forged Ice Stone he took away before leaving. He planned to make it into a third-level soul guide sword and give it to Xu Nianshuang, and by the way, see what the difference is between soul guides made of Thousand Forged Metal.
"Um, Yiyi?!"
While walking in the academy, a familiar little figure suddenly appeared in front of me. It seemed that the other party had noticed me a long time ago and stared at me quietly in a playful manner without saying a word.
Compared to before, Yang Yiyi seems to have grown up a lot, in the physical sense.
"Has she broken through to become a soul master?" Looking at the drastic change in Yang Yiyi's appearance, Xu Tianyang already had a guess in his mind.
"Brother Tianyang."
While he was guessing, Yang Yiyi had already trotted to Xu Tianyang, called him sweetly, and approached him with a smile on her pretty face.
"Yiyi, have you joined the Sun and Moon Royal Academy?"
"Yes, Sister Yingying helped me arrange the school." Yang Yiyi nodded and looked at Xu Tianyang happily, "Brother Tianyang, Yiyi has already broken through to the Soul Master level."
As she spoke, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit was released, and a circle of yellow spirit rings rose from under her feet, slowly rhythmically beside Yang Yiyi.
"It's actually level twelve?"
Xu Tianyang was a little surprised when he sensed Yang Yiyi's soul power level. Generally, soul masters can only improve one level after absorbing soul rings. He can jump to the next level because the soul beast is old and the energy it contains is relatively strong.
According to his observation, Yang Yiyi's physical fitness had reached its limit after four hundred years. After the breakthrough, her soul power should have reached level eleven, but he didn't expect it to have reached level twelve.
"My first soul ring is a hundred-year-old Azure Ivy. My soul skill is Endless Life, which greatly increases the vitality of my martial soul."
"Brother Tianyang, my soul skill doesn't seem to have much attack power!"
Xu Tianyang suddenly realized that the Tianqing Ivy was a top-level plant-type soul beast. Yang Yiyi swallowed and absorbed the beast and the ring together, and only then did she break through to level twelfth in one fell swoop.
After hearing this, even Xu Tianyang couldn't help but sigh at the dominance of the devouring attribute.
Looking at Yang Yiyi with a bitter face, Xu Tianyang's eyes flashed. At first glance, this soul skill seemed unremarkable. It could not directly enhance the strength of the blue silver grass or increase any means of attack power.
Moreover, Yang Yiyi's blue silver grass mutated into a devouring attribute, which seemed to run counter to the attribute of life.
It does seem like a useless soul skill, but in the long run, it is a good soul skill.
Although the Blue Silver Grass is weak, its vitality is definitely among the best in Douluo Continent. In the future, if Yang Yiyi awakens the Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver King or even the Blue Silver Emperor, coupled with her first soul skill, it will be difficult for her to die.
As for how to awaken, Xu Tianyang already had a plan in mind. If the timeline was right, Douluo Continent would be one method.
If Douluo Continent doesn't work, then there is also a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor on the Sun and Moon Continent.
There are many gathering places for soul beasts in the Sun-Moon Continent. The more famous ones are the Demon Forest dominated by the Evil Emperor, the Jingyang Mountains, the paradise of gold-type soul beasts, and finally the Valley of Life ruled by plant-type soul beasts.
The Blue Silver Emperor of the Sun and Moon Continent is in the Valley of Life.
In fact, Xu Tianyang was also curious about something. If the Douluo Continent and the Sun-Moon Continent collided and merged in advance, would the law that only one Blue Silver Emperor could exist be broken?
The Blue Silver Emperor on the Douluo Continent is most likely dead, and Tang San has not yet awakened. On the other hand, there is an existing 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor on the Sun-Moon Continent. Based on this rule, will it cause Tang San to be unable to awaken directly?
"Your soul skill is very good and has great potential. The most powerful thing about the Blue Silver Grass is its vitality. Although your martial soul has mutated into the power of devouring, it is ultimately no match for the vitality of the Blue Silver Grass itself. You must develop it well in the future." Xu Tianyang said comfortingly, touching the other person's head with a gentle smile.
"Uh-huh!"
After taking Yang Yiyi around the college and familiarizing herself with the environment, the two separated. Xu Tianyang returned to the dormitory and began to make a soul-guided sword for Xu Nianshuang.
A few days later, Xu Yunxiao's order came, and the Sun and Moon Royal Academy was restructured.
The original Soul Guidance Department and Martial Soul Department were directly split into two major academies, namely the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Martial Soul Academy.
The two major academies only recruit students who have reached the eighteenth level of soul power and the first-level soul mentor before the age of twelve. The rest will not be admitted unless there are special circumstances.
After reaching level 40 or level 4 soul master, one can apply for graduation, and level 4 soul masters can also be admitted to Mingde Hall for further studies.
From now on, Mingde Hall will represent the highest level of soul guides in the Sun-Moon Empire. Xu Yunxiao will be the head of Mingde Hall and Lin Fan will be in charge of the management. He has finally been freed from the tedious tasks.
It was impossible for Xu Yunxiao to allow a top soul engineer to be troubled by trivial matters all day long.
After the reform, a large number of students moved out of the academy. They were transferred to several other soul master academies in Mingdu to study. The academy, which was once bustling, suddenly became much emptier.
Yang Yiyi did not go. She was taken back by Mu Mengyu to be trained. After she reached the required level, she was directly enrolled in school again.
Because of this reform, Xu Tianyang and his group became the youngest group of students in the academy and became celebrities of the academy, but these are just small episodes in life.
Soon, everyone adapted to the life in the new academy. Xu Tianyang practiced and played with Xu Nianshuang, Zui Hongchen, Huang Xiuwen and others every day, which was very pleasant.
...
Tiandou Empire.
On a remote coast, on the distant sea, a strange black object emerged from the water and looked at the coastline ahead, with a slight red light flashing.
"Reporting to the captain, a huge coastline has been discovered 30 degrees northeast. No signs of life have been found. The preliminary judgment is 82% that it is not an island. As for whether it is Douluo Continent, it is still uncertain."
On the sea farther away, a warship that was a hundred meters long gradually appeared on the originally empty sea surface.
The warship was entirely wrapped in an unknown metal, with soul-guided gun barrels mounted on both sides. On the deck of the warship, forty or fifty taxi drivers wearing heavy armor stood proudly, and a sense of solemnity arose spontaneously.
At this moment, a voice full of surprise sounded inside the battleship.
"Damn it, these damn pirates can't even lead the way. If they weren't still useful, I would have skinned them alive."
A burst of rapid footsteps sounded, and an old man in his fifties came over angrily. The old man was not tall, but gave people a fierce feeling. His whole body was covered with dark purple dragon-patterned armor. There were three deep claw marks on his right eye, and his tiger eyes were extremely oppressive.
Coming up to the taxi driver who had just reported, the old man looked at the scene in the detector in his hand. A hint of surprise crossed his brows at first, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Send a team to land and explore."
"yes!"
Orders were issued one after another in an orderly manner, and a team of ten people boarded a speedboat and sped towards the distant land.
"I hope it's true this time. Sailing on the sea is really uncomfortable."
The old man looked at the boat going away with anticipation in his heart. This was not the first time they had discovered land, but before they had only seen islands of various sizes. This was the first time they had discovered such a large coastline. His intuition told him that this was the destination of his trip.
"Reporting to the captain, after the exploration of the advance team, we found that the geological conditions of the coastline belong to the continental plate. The preliminary judgment is that the Douluo Continent is ahead."
The old man listened to the message coming to his ears, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, which eventually turned into an excited laugh.
"Hahaha, finally, I found it. Soldiers, we have lived up to His Majesty's expectations. When we return home, the Empire will remember us. We are all heroes."
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
Hearing the old man's words, the emotions in the taxi driver's heart burst out. He knelt on one knee, clenched his right fist and pressed it hard against his left chest, and shouted.
The old man's name was Li Zhong. He was formerly the deputy head of the Evil Lord Soul Guidance Corps. A month ago, Xu Yunxiao ordered him to lead the fleet to explore the route to Douluo Continent.
They thought that with those pirates leading the team, they could complete the mission easily, but who knew that these guys actually led them lost. They encountered many large islands on the way, but none of them were their destination. They wandered on the sea for a month before reaching Douluo Continent.
"Jiang Yan, take the sea chart and return to the empire along the same route. His Majesty is still waiting for news from us. I will stay in Douluo Continent to gather information. I will leave a contact point here for easy communication." Li Zhong looked at the coastline appearing in the distance, his hands holding the fence shaking slightly, but he still gave orders steadily.
After stepping onto the land, Li Zhong led the more than 50 people who stayed behind and watched the target getting farther and farther away until it disappeared.
"Okay, our next task is to find a place to settle down and try to collect all the information on Douluo Continent." Li Zhong looked at the people behind him with serious expressions. They had already changed out of their armor and put on clothes that were suitable for Douluo Continent and had been prepared in the empire.
These people generally have soul power above level 40, which is neither low nor high.
"Be smart from now on. This is an unfamiliar place. Don't expose yourself easily. The soul guides here are not well developed, and may even be extinct. The soul guides we have cannot be easily exposed."
"Of course, if you encounter danger, you will beat me up. You can't bring shame to the empire."
"Now, follow me, let's find a place to stay first."
"yes!"
...
"Has it succeeded?"
In a huge room, soft soul guide light shines down, and many large soul guide devices can be seen in the room.
Xu Tianyang looked at the new guys in front of him, and then looked at Lin Fan, Zui Hongchen, Xuan Hongchen and others standing beside him.
"Hehe, Your Highness, don't worry. After we collected a large amount of data and analyzed it, we have accurately divided the physical and mental strength of soul masters. The accuracy rate is absolutely 99%." Xuan Hongchen is a fat old man with squinting eyes. He is Zui Hongchen's grandfather and a soul engineer whose level is no less than Lin Fan.
The soul conductor tester proposed by Xu Tianyang when he was a child can finally be officially put into use.
The difficulty of this soul conductor measuring instrument is not in making it, but in how to classify the physical fitness of soul masters into different levels.
Can the physical strength of attack-type soul masters and auxiliary-type soul masters of the same level be ranked at the same level?
Strong attack soul masters are also divided into beast martial souls and weapon martial souls. Compared with the two, beast martial souls are naturally more powerful.
After years of data collection and integration, we finally developed a set of relatively standard data.
"Do you want to try it?" Lin Fan nodded and looked at Xu Tianyang curiously. He was very curious about the other party's physical strength. The other party broke the record and was the first to reach the second ring of the millennium. When he just found out, if it weren't for his identity, he would have wanted to slice Xu Tianyang into pieces for research.
"I'm also curious about my own strength." Xu Tianyang nodded with interest. This was the first new soul guide he proposed. Now that it was officially put into use, he certainly wanted to give it a try.
As he spoke, Xu Tianyang walked to one of the cylindrical instruments. The instrument was two and a half meters high, with a blue crystal column at the back and a circular platform in front.
Xu Tianyang stood on the circular platform. Xuan Hongchen rubbed his hands excitedly and stepped forward to press his palm into a palm-shaped depression. He reminded him, "Your Highness, please relax and don't be nervous. The test has begun."
Zui Hongchen stood aside excitedly, taking out a small notebook ready to record information at any time.
With the injection of soul power, a fan-shaped white light lit up on the top of the soul conductor detector, carefully scanning Xu Tianyang's body from top to bottom.
Ten seconds later, an electronic mechanical voice sounded, "Height 1.57 meters, weight 50 kilograms, physical strength, level 44, soul power fluctuation level 26, bone age 106 months..."
After hearing this information, Lin Fan and the other two looked at Xu Tianyang in shock, their faces full of disbelief.
"Gudong!"
Zui Hongchen swallowed his saliva and murmured quickly, "Pervert..., pervert..., how come there is such a pervert like the boss..."
"Hahaha, Tianyang, you really exceeded my expectations." Lin Fan came to his senses, scratched his chin lightly, and looked at Xu Tianyang with burning eyes.
What a pity!
Xu Tianyang shuddered subconsciously and felt a chill from Lin Fan's eyes.
'These damn research freaks'
"Your Highness's information will probably remain in the empire's records for a long time." Xuan Hongchen looked at Xu Tianyang with a smile. He had always heard that Xu Tianyang was gifted, and today he finally had a direct feeling of it.
However, it's better to be a little more talented. As the crown prince of the empire, I'm not afraid of you being too talented, but I'm afraid of you not being talented enough.
Afterwards, Zui Hongchen also went up to test it. Zui Hongchen's information was not as abnormal as Xu Tianyang's. He was average, with a soul power of level 22 and a physical strength of about level 5. The three-legged golden toad was not good at physical body, but it was also the standard information of a top-level martial soul.
"Next, let's try this test of mental power." Xu Tianyang walked into another larger and more complex machine.
The test results came out very quickly. The mental strength was level fifty-two, which was even more exaggerated than the physical strength. This meant that as long as Xu Tianyang's physical strength could keep up, he could reach the third level of ten thousand years.
Thinking of this conclusion, even Lin Fan was shocked. What kind of monster had appeared?
As for the third ring, Xu Tianyang did not pursue the maximum age limit. Spiritual soul beasts are rare. Ever since he awakened his martial soul, Xu Yunxiao has been sending people to explore the information of spiritual soul beasts on the continent.
There are several soul beasts that are very suitable for him. Although their age is only between seven thousand and nine thousand years, he is already very satisfied.
After experiencing the physical tester, Xu Tianyang nodded with satisfaction. This thing was considered a success and could be promoted to the mainland. In this way, soul masters would be able to better plan the lifespan of their soul rings in the future.
After walking out of the teaching building, Xu Tianyang met an unexpected person at the dormitory door.
"Uncle Feng, why are you here?"
"Douluo Continent, found..."
Hearing this, Xu Tianyang looked at Feng Tianxiang, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate.
