What happened inside the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy did not cause too much of an impact. The ordinary people of Mingdu only thought that the Illustrious Virtue Hall was testing some new soul guidance device again.
For the many students in the academy, there was something even more important worth paying attention to.
Before the sky had brightened, banners were already set up throughout the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. A group of teachers who had been prepared long ago stood on both sides of the academy gate, and quite a few students came here to join the excitement, standing not far away and watching.
Not long after, more than a dozen figures appeared far away at the end of the street, walking toward the direction of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.
They were precisely the leading teachers and fourteen students who had participated in the Soul Dueling Competition. As soon as they approached, a burst of applause rang out.
In the Star Luo Empire, after they won the championship, they did not receive particularly enthusiastic cheers, but here, all the teachers and students were unreservedly displaying their enthusiasm.
"Welcome back."
Lin Jiayi stood at the very front, his gaze slowly sweeping over everyone, finally stopping on Ma Rulong's father. "The Hall Master is waiting for you in Illustrious Virtue Hall."
"Mm." Ma Rulong's father nodded, leading the students who had participated in the Soul Dueling Competition through the crowd's encirclement, heading toward Illustrious Virtue Hall.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy had participated in the Soul Dueling Competition for so many years, and this was the first time they defeated Shrek Academy to win the championship. Even the students who had just enrolled not long ago felt equally proud of it.
Watching their backs from afar, Lin Jiayi turned back and glanced at Lin Xiao again.
"Teacher, you've been looking at me several times this morning." Lin Xiao smiled helplessly.
"I'm just thinking, if it weren't for your soul guidance device, the result of this Soul Dueling Competition probably..."
"How could that be?" Lin Xiao shook his head. "The ones who truly won the competition are these outstanding students. Without them, even the best soul guidance device would have no one to use it."
"Don't be modest. What you've done, both the Hall Master and I have seen with our own eyes." Lin Jiayi said as he also walked toward the direction of the Illustrious Virtue Hall. "After you enter Illustrious Virtue Hall, I may not have time to teach you like before."
"However, the Hall Master has also arranged for others in Illustrious Virtue Hall."
Lin Jiayi glanced at Lin Xiao again. "Ye Yulin, have you heard this name?"
"Star Sky Douluo Ye Yulin?"
"That's right. Star Sky Douluo is not only a level 9 soul mentor in Illustrious Virtue Hall but also serves in the Imperial Enshrinement Hall. His soul guidance device research direction has some similarities with your self-propelled soul guidance cannon. After entering Illustrious Virtue Hall, if you have any questions, you can ask him for advice."
"Additionally, following Star Sky Douluo might give you the chance to participate in the production of level 9 soul guidance devices. This is quite a rare experience and will be of great benefit to you in breaking through to become a level 9 soul mentor in the future."
Lin Xiao followed behind Lin Jiayi, clearly aware in his heart that for such an opportunity, Lin Jiayi had probably put in a lot of effort.
Although Illustrious Virtue Hall was indeed the holy land in the eyes of countless soul mentors, not every soul mentor who entered Illustrious Virtue Hall had the chance to follow a level 9 soul mentor.
Even though he had contributed some to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy's championship in this Soul Dueling Competition, it was because someone had spoken on his behalf that he got the opportunity to follow Ye Yulin.
"Thank you, Teacher."
"Don't thank me. The Hall Master already thought highly of you, and this time in the Soul Dueling Competition, you contributed a lot, so it's also a reward for you. Come on, I'll take you to pay a visit to Star Sky Douluo."
Passing through the wide roads in the academy, the students they encountered on the way all had smiles on their faces, seemingly still discussing the matter of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy winning the championship.
"Sigh." Just listening to the discussions of those students, Lin Jiayi let out a soft sigh.
"What's wrong, Teacher?"
Lin Jiayi glanced around. "Ever since the news of winning the Soul Dueling Competition came back to Mingdu, the mindset of all the students in the academy seems to have changed a bit."
"Although we won this time, Shrek Academy was able to get second place with only three main team members, which is enough to show the combat power of soul masters. I'm afraid that if this atmosphere in the academy continues, it won't be a good thing."
As the teaching director of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Lin Jiayi was naturally capable and saw farther than some teachers and students. He knew clearly that the power of soul masters was absolutely not as unbearable as some people claimed.
"There's something I haven't mentioned to you yet. While you were participating in the Soul Dueling Competition, the Hall Master received an invitation from Shrek Academy, wanting our two academies to exchange students for a period of study."
"That is a good thing." Lin Xiao nodded, not feeling too surprised. He knew that at this time, Shrek Academy was also trying to develop soul guidance devices, so proposing such an invitation was only a matter of time.
"Do you think the people from Shrek Academy will let our students change their views on soul masters?"
Lin Xiao nodded. "Although, as a member of the academy, I probably shouldn't say this, but the students in Shrek Academy are indeed the most outstanding soul masters among their peers."
"There's nothing wrong with saying that." Lin Jiayi did not have much reaction to Lin Xiao's words; instead, he nodded thoughtfully. "The Hall Master said the same to me."
"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. We've arrived."
As the two were talking, Lin Jiayi had already led Lin Xiao into Illustrious Virtue Hall, passing through the corridor and arriving in front of a metal gate. As the gate slowly opened to both sides, a tall elderly man slowly appeared before Lin Xiao.
Although Ye Yulin's face had many wrinkles, his complexion was ruddy, without much feeling of old age. The gaze looking at Lin Xiao was very sharp, but the bald patch on top of his head instantly diminished his imposing manner by a few points.
That's right. In the field of high-altitude soul guidance devices, unmatched by anyone, the level 9 soul mentor Ye Yulin, who possessed the title "Star Sky," also had his own troubles.
"You are Lin Xiao?"
"Yes, Teacher Ye."
"Not bad. I've already seen your soul guidance device. Although it has some clever ideas, its essence is nothing more than the most basic soul guidance cannon combined with a charging soul guidance device. To break through to a higher realm with this, you still need to continue working hard."
"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded. Ye Yulin was right. Although it wasn't obvious yet, to make the self-propelled soul guidance cannon break through to higher levels, it wasn't something that could be achieved simply by increasing the power of the soul guidance cannon.
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, the Sun Moon Divine Needles produced by Ye Yulin not only had immense power but could also absorb energy from the sun and moon for charging and had a large-range enemy detection function. Even just knowing a rough idea, these things were enough for him to learn for quite a while.
"Alright, I heard from the Hall Master that you interned in Illustrious Virtue Hall before, so I don't need to explain the things here again. Like before, go to the experimental tables outside first. Experience in making soul guidance devices is accumulated slowly like this."
