Chapter 95

Zhenhua hadn't yet sorted out his thoughts when his train of thought was interrupted by Mu Ye, only to hear him say with a laugh: "Today I may have accepted a disciple unprecedented in history, with no successor to come."

Upon hearing this, the corner of Zhenhua's mouth curved upward slightly. "So have I."

Mu Ye raised an eyebrow. "Is it that little girl? Can she inherit your Heavenly Forging?"

Zhenhua's smile deepened. "Not just that — she might even surpass my Heavenly Forging!"

Hearing Zhenhua's boastful words, Mu Ye snorted. "My disciple is definitely better than yours. He can not only surpass my achievements as a Soul Master and in Body God secret arts, but also surpass my achievements in mecha! Becoming the first Quasi-God powerhouse in history to reach the peak in the dual professions of Mecha Master and Battle Armor Master!"

Zhenhua was startled inwardly. He hadn't expected Mu Ye's evaluation of Huo Yuhao to be so high, but thinking of the Soul Guide array Huo Yuhao used to manufacture alloys, he suddenly felt it wasn't so unexpected.

Being able to research such technology, Huo Yuhao was indeed a Heaven-Ordained Genius. Who knew when he would be able to get that technique out of his hands.

Judging by Huo Yuhao's meaning, he intended to have him offer some opinions, then find a suitable alloy pairing for the Ice God Crystal himself.

Presumably it was Huo Yuhao's filial devotion to the Snow Empress as a disciple?

'Wanting to obtain that Soul Guide array, there seems to be no hope for now. But it's fine, I don't mind either. Isn't there Gu Yue Na?'

Zhenhua turned the thought over, recalling scenes of Gu Yue Na and Huo Yuhao together, and the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a faint smile. Under Mu Ye's puzzled gaze, he said: "She can also become a Red-Grade Mecha Master and Four-Word Battle Armor Master."

Mu Ye raised an eyebrow. "Don't joke. I don't believe anyone can match Yuhao in mecha design and manufacturing."

"What if they're together? She becomes a Divine Craftsman, provides Heavenly Forged metals, Huo Yuhao designs and manufactures — wouldn't that work?" Zhenhua said with a meaningful smile.

"……"

Mu Ye fell into silence. Before long, a teasing look appeared in his eyes. "I really didn't see it before — a match made in heaven."

One is a Mecha Designer and Mecha Constructor, the other a Divine Craftsman... Suitable, truly very suitable.

……

While Mu Ye and Zhenhua were showing off their disciples to each other. At the Spirit Pagoda Tian Dou Branch, a tall, sturdily built man in formal wear recalled the message that had come over the Soul Guidance Light Screen earlier, unable to figure it out no matter how he thought.

The Master wants to observe the Heavenly Forging scene, yet won't let him go over... What is the meaning of this?

Why can't he go over?

Xiong Jun was just thinking when a knock suddenly sounded, disrupting his train of thought.

"Come in."

A middle-aged man of average build and ordinary appearance walked in. Xiong Jun knew him well. The man was named Liang Xiaoyu, an Agility Attack System Titled Douluo, an assistant arranged for him by Di Tian, and the Vice Tower Master of the Tian Dou Branch.

However, Xiong Jun felt Di Tian was viewing him with outdated eyes. With his strength and wisdom, could guarding a branch really go wrong?

Whoever dares act recklessly, my Tearing Heaven Claw will serve them... Alright, can't be that rash.

Liang Xiaoyu said: "Tower Master, Shrek Academy's final exams have begun. A student tried to sneak onto a Soul Guidance Aircraft to quickly reach various major cities, and was caught by the screening personnel... I've already arranged it. Just reporting to you."

"... Can't Shrek change that bizarre exam of theirs? We soul beasts are living lives less wild than their methods!"

Xiong Jun picked up the Soul Guidance Light Screen, browsing through various information while saying righteously.

Hearing Xiong Jun's words, the corner of Liang Xiaoyu's mouth twitched, but seeing the Soul Guidance Light Screen in Xiong Jun's hand, he still didn't say anything.

Because in a certain sense it was indeed fact.

Now is the time for final exams at all major academies, followed by a vacation of over a month.

And Shrek Academy's first semester final exam, as far as he knew, had roughly the same rules, only differing in details.

Their rules are like this —

Students must leave their Storage Soul Guides, Communication Soul Guides, Identity Certificates, and money at the academy, departing with nothing but themselves.

During the final exam, Shrek students have a total of fifteen days. Within fifteen days, they must reach a certain major city.

Along the way they must pass through at least ten cities, including the target destination. In each city, they must defeat an opponent whose cultivation exceeds the Shrek student's by five ranks or more.

Teachers will follow secretly along the way to score them, but when students encounter danger, it's said they won't intervene. The purpose is to make students recognize their own limits, not to challenge opponents they can't handle. No one knows if it's true or false.

But thinking of how a Soul King killed the Shrek Seven Monsters ten thousand years ago and escaped from the hands of Shrek Academy's Super Douluo, Liang Xiaoyu felt Shrek's teachers might really not intervene...

And Tian Dou City and Shrek City are located in the center of the Continent, not far apart, so this place easily becomes a target city for examinees.

Occasionally there are newborn calves unafraid of tigers like today — students wanting to ride Soul Guidance Aircraft without certificates or reservations to quickly reach other cities. After all, they have little time, and exam scores relate to whether they can enter the Inner Court, so some people act with little regard for consequences...

Because travel is convenient, Federal Senators and High-ranking Officials often reserve seats on Soul Guidance Aircraft. Screening is strict. Can't they just come properly?

Just like Tower Master Xiong Jun said, what era is this? Why are your methods so wild?

Soul beasts are more civilized than you guys. Get a grip!

Liang Xiaoyu continued: "I've had that student thrown to the Shrek teacher following secretly. The complaint letter has also been sent to Shrek."

"It'll probably just be left unsettled, right?"

Hearing this, Xiong Jun frowned. "Do you think we should suppress Shrek's arrogance? Because of that so-called Continent's Number One Person, Shrek Academy's influence on the Continent is growing daily. Some of their people are acting increasingly high-profile... Truly, healed scars forget the pain. If I'd known earlier, that claw I gave Long Yeyue back then should have been even more ruthless!"

Liang Xiaoyu: "……"

Shrek's Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue is a legend of a generation. She is the first existence in the last two hundred years who, because of conflict with the Spirit Pagoda, dared to charge the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters!

Of course, she walked in standing, and was carried out lying down...

What exactly happened, people of his generation aren't very clear on.

Now he knows that back then Tower Master Xiong Jun was also at Headquarters, and gave her a claw...

The thought flashed and passed. Liang Xiaoyu looked at Xiong Jun and shook his head slightly: "Tower Master Xiong Jun, still handle it per the previous method. The Federation doesn't speak, we don't decide, and don't get involved in those matters."

"... Understood." Xiong Jun raised an eyebrow. He didn't insist. They were just minor matters anyway. "You didn't come just for such a small thing, did you?"

Liang Xiaoyu nodded, took out a Soul Guidance Light Screen, and handed it to Xiong Jun. "There's a matter I need your approval for. I may accept a disciple later, which would delay affairs. Can I find someone to hand over to?"

"Xie Xie?" Xiong Jun took the Soul Guidance Light Screen, narrowing his eyes to look it over.

On it was Xie Xie's data, and his combat performance in the Spirit Ascension Platform Riot, Virtual Battlefield combat footage...

A moment later, Xiong Jun said:

"Innate Full Soul Power, Twin Martial Souls, Agility Attack System... Talent is passable. Development direction suits you well too. But he hasn't even passed the Black-Grade Assessment. Aren't you being a bit too eager?"

"I'm a commoner by birth." Liang Xiaoyu smiled. "Big clan offspring and those with too high talent aren't for me. Only small clan and commoner-born people suit me best. His talent is already quite good. Better to settle it early, to avoid being snatched away by others later."

"Then fine. As you wish. I approve."

Xiong Jun spoke while swiping on Liang Xiaoyu's Soul Guidance Light Screen, and another person's information appeared; his brows lifted slightly.

Tang Wulin, ten years old, Third-Rank Blacksmith.

Martial soul Blue Silver Grass and...

Dragon King Bloodline?

A bit interesting.
