Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky

Chapter 30 The No.1 Soul Guidance Academy on the Continent

Kong Tianxu and Cain took the items, and then the three of them, led by Lin Jiayi and a group of teachers, walked towards a teaching building not far away.

As he walked, Kong Tianxu took out the map he had just received and began to look at it. The map was very complex and detailed, clearly a modified version specially provided to him. Various colored lines divided the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy into three main areas: teaching, dormitory, and experimentation.

The experimental area alone occupies more than two-thirds of the area, marked with circles indicating the purpose and precautions for different buildings.

The central part was circled in red and had the words "Mingde Hall" written on it. It looked somewhat like part of the experimental zone.

But everyone knows what Mingde Hall, named after their grandfather, means to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and even to the Sun Moon Empire.

The maps for the teaching and dormitory areas are relatively simpler. The teaching area has a total of twelve teaching buildings, covering six grades, with two teaching buildings for each grade.

According to what Elder Tong had told them on the way, after entering the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, age is no longer an important indicator for class division.

Here, as long as your ability reaches the level of a first-level Soul Master, you can enter the second year to continue your studies, and if you can reach the level of a second-level Soul Master, you can advance to the third year.

The learning atmosphere is extremely relaxed, with only one type of assessment: the Soul Master Level Examination.

Of course, there are time constraints as well. If one fails to reach the level of a third-grade Soul Master before the age of eighteen, then one must leave the academy to make a living on one's own. However, as long as one can achieve this goal, one can stay in the academy until at least the age of twenty-five.

Those who can reach the fifth level of Soul Master before the age of twenty-five are qualified to participate in the Mingde Hall assessment.

At this moment, Lin Jiayi led Kong Tianxu and the others into a teaching building for the first grade.

The teaching building is extremely large, with wide corridors that extend straight out, and almost every corner has a metal soul tool that looks very exquisite.

Cain was clearly intrigued, while Kong Tianxu quickly accepted the architectural style, which was remarkably similar to his previous life. It seemed that, at least for the soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire, soul tools had become an inseparable part of their lives.

All the way to the west end of the first floor of the first-grade teaching building, in front of a door with a sign that read "Class One," Lin Jiayi took out a sign hanging around his neck from his pocket and waved it at a round, crystal-like spot on the door.

With a soft "beep," the double metal doors slid open silently to either side. Lin Jiayi led the three inside, took out an identical black nameplate from his pocket, and handed it to Kong Tianxu, saying:

"Tianxu, please keep this pass safe. It allows you to move freely throughout most of the academy. The physical fitness test will be over soon, and the entrance exam will officially begin. I wish you both the best of luck. Teacher Tong, Jiayi will take his leave."

Elder Tong calmly accepted Lin Jiayi's bow. Kong Tianxu toyed with the metallic pass in his hand and handed it to Cain, who was standing to the side. Lin Jiayi's badge was already of a fairly high level, roughly equivalent to the access privileges of an eighth-level Soul Master, but it was still a little lower than the highest-level badge his grandfather had given him.

Looking around, Kong Tianxu noticed that the teachers who had come with him hadn't left. Instead, they were taking out square trays with lids from a nearby storeroom and bringing them into the classroom. The lids and the surfaces of the trays were covered with a dense layer of lead.

A thought struck him; he knew that was probably the so-called entrance exam. The surface was specially coated with a layer of lead to isolate various auras, including those detectable by Huo Yuhao's mental probing abilities—clearly to prevent students from learning the exam content beforehand.

But this did not deter him; the domineering nature of his supreme form was once again on full display. He released his second martial soul, activating his X-ray vision, and saw the contents inside.

Each of the square trays contained six compartments, and in each compartment was a square piece of metal, all of which were a different color. With Kong Tianxu's keen eye, he could naturally identify what these metals were.

He smiled slightly, already having a good idea of ​​what was going on. No wonder his grandfather and Elder Tong had remained silent when he asked earlier; it seemed that the entrance exam was indeed quite difficult.

Seeing that Kong Tianxu was adapting quickly, and calculating that the assessment was about to begin, Teacher Tong said a few words of advice to Kong Tianxu and the other person before getting up to leave. Just before stepping out of the classroom, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Kong Tianxu:

"Young Master, don't take your studies too lightly in your first year. The Master said that the teaching staff of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is quite strong."

After speaking, Old Tong revealed a very mysterious smile and walked in the opposite direction from where he came from.

Without seeing the Master of Mingde Hall, Steward Tong of Yuehua Palace naturally wouldn't leave easily, as there were still some things he needed to personally instruct the other party on.

The teaching staff is very strong?

Kong Tianxu was somewhat puzzled as the old man Tong Lao left. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, including the Mingde Hall behind it, had only one other person worth mentioning besides his grandfather: Jing Hongchen. What was there to say about that?

"Maybe we'll invite some high-level Soul Masters from outside the school to give lectures? I heard from my great-uncle that many Soul Masters in the Empire are self-taught, and their unorthodox methods can sometimes offer us some insights."

Cain immediately understood his gaze and offered his own guess.

Kong Tianxu shook his head: "No matter how things change, the essence remains the same; ultimately, it depends on the Soul Master's own skill level. By the way, Yin'er, our entrance exam should cover some carving techniques. This is quite difficult in itself, but as an entrance exam, the requirements should be quite low. Are you capable in this area?"

Cain nodded, giving Kong Tianxu an approving look. Coming from the Heavenly Soul Empire, she wasn't particularly interested in the creation of soul tools.

After realizing she couldn't help Kong Tianxu with soul tools, she focused even more on soul master cultivation and the simple use of soul tools. Even though she was already a three-ring soul master, when it came to crafting, she probably didn't even have the level of a first-level soul master.

However, in order to successfully enroll with Kong Tianxu, she still did some research. But even without considering that, her soul power level of 36 was enough to shut everyone up.

As for Kong Tianxu, his progress was slightly slower than Cain's, but he was still at the terrifying level of peak level 45. Moreover, he possessed twin super martial souls, and in terms of total soul power, he was definitely not inferior to a typical six-ring Soul Emperor.
