Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 686 Let go of everything and get some rest
Jiang Ming was slightly taken aback when he heard Elder Mu's question.

"Teacher, haven't I been resting these past few days? Besides, I'm now at the Super Douluo level, so even if I don't rest, it won't affect my physical condition."

Upon hearing this, Old Mu shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about this kind of rest, but rather relaxation of the mind."

Old Mu pointed to Jiang Ming's heart.

"Haven't you noticed? Ever since you entered Shrek Academy, your heart has been on edge."

Jiang Ming, being too caught up in the situation, didn't pay much attention to his own predicament.

However, as someone who had been paying attention to Jiang Ming ever since he entered Shrek Academy, Elder Mu could see things very clearly.

When Jiang Ming entered Shrek Academy, he worked harder than his classmates in cultivation, attending classes, learning about soul tools, and even making his own soul tools to correct the wrong path he had taken in soul tool development.

They even set their sights on the cafeteria in order to make money.

Is this the normal state for an eleven or twelve-year-old child?

no.

Cultivation, attending classes, learning about soul tools, and making soul tools are all tedious processes. At eleven or twelve years old, it's an age when people can't sit still, but Jiang Ming stubbornly put himself into this fulfilling yet tedious life and rapidly improved.

Later, his changes to the academy's Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department were all invisible pressures that gradually weighed on him as Jiang Ming's abilities were revealed.

Jiang Ming didn't seem tired at all, and he was always smiling, but he never let his guard down.

Including the meeting at the Sea God Pavilion just now, when the academy mentioned rescuing the soul masters trapped in the Sun Moon Empire, Jiang Ming subconsciously wanted to take on this task.

He has the ability, but we really shouldn't put all the pressure on him.

Upon hearing what Elder Mu said, Jiang Ming fell silent.

Although he has indeed become accustomed to this pressure, he cannot deny that he has been driven by pressure all these years.

His start was not good from the moment he transmigrated to Douluo Continent.

Born in Qingshui City, her parents were killed by evil spirit masters in a great battle when she was one year old.

To be honest, even though Jiang Ming was a time traveler, he was deeply affected by this event.

Become stronger!

Must become stronger!

Because he himself transmigrated from the most stressful senior year of high school, the sense of crisis he felt in the dog-eat-dog fantasy world of Douluo Continent was much stronger than the intense pressure of the college entrance examination.

So when he grew a little older and had some mobility, even though it was still several years before he was six years old and his martial soul was awakened, he couldn't help but learn some simple breathing techniques from Lao Nie to strengthen his body.

Due to its geographical location, Qingshui City has to guard against the ice and snow city of the Sun Moon Empire on one hand, and the soul beasts that occasionally rush out from the far north on the other, so the people are known for their fierceness.

Although Jiang Ming was indeed too young at that time, he wanted to learn, so Lao Nie taught him some things appropriately.

Jiang Ming was truly persevering back then, training his body day after day and year after year until he awakened his martial spirit at the age of six.

Jiang Ming's martial spirit was awakened by Old Nie himself in the city lord's mansion. On the day of the awakening, Jiang Ming was actually very uneasy.

He knew that if his martial soul awakened to be a useless one, or if his innate soul power was too low, it would be extremely difficult for him to become stronger. In fact, becoming a Soul Saint would be a distant dream, let alone becoming a Title Douluo.

If you lack strength, you are likely to die.

The idea of ​​joining my Human Emperor Banner as a fellow Daoist was a joke in my past life, but in the fantasy world, it's a stark reality!
There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters. This was said by Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.

Jiang Ming only believed half of what he said.

Having a martial spirit means having value; he doesn't like the word "useless."

Even awakening a hoe can dig the ground, awakening a sickle can harvest rice, and awakening blue silver grass can create a lawn that is at least pleasing to the eye.

It definitely has its uses; it just depends on how you use it.

However, if your Martial Soul level and innate Soul Power are insufficient, then it's nonsense to think you can become a powerful Soul Master.

Yu Xiaogang originally had a benign mutation of his martial soul, which was supposed to mutate from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon into the Golden Sacred Dragon. However, due to some unknown factors, the mutation was stopped halfway through, and he ended up with the martial soul Luo Sanpao.

If Yu Xiaogang's martial soul can undergo this positive mutation, then his path to becoming a soul master will definitely be smooth sailing!
Unfortunately, the mutation was not completed, which is why he has been stuck at level 29 of soul power and unable to break through to level 30.

The higher the grade of a martial soul, the stronger the innate soul power, and the higher the potential of a soul master!

So when Nie Heng helped Jiang Ming awaken his martial soul, and Jiang Ming discovered that he had innate full soul power, no one knew how excited Jiang Ming was at that time.

But while excited, Jiang Ming did not relax; instead, he worked even harder in his cultivation.

With top-tier talent, there is hope and expectation!

So Jiang Ming would meditate and cultivate whenever he had time to improve his soul power level.

If he couldn't stand the monotonous meditation and cultivation, he would fight with others and with the soul beasts of the far north.

While other children his age were still playing innocently, Jiang Ming was already able to kill a ferocious soul beast on his own.

In fact, Jiang Ming, who had transmigrated from his senior year of high school, didn't really have much in common with the other kids his age, which was one of the reasons he was able to focus on his cultivation without any distractions.

Later, as time went by, Jiang Ming came into contact with soul tools.

Before transmigrating, Jiang Ming was a science student. After learning what soul tools were, he immediately decided to study them.

He filled his time with cultivation, battles, and learning about soul tools. While other people his age were only practicing sporadically, he had already filled his time to the brim.

When Jiang Ming reached a certain level in his cultivation, he consciously took on the responsibility.

When the city guards of Qingshui City are short-handed, they will call him to go, because his strength is already stronger than most of the city guards.

He would even be called over to repair some of the soul tools on the city wall when they malfunctioned.

In short, as long as you keep working, you'll always have more work to do.

Unfortunately, Qingshui City has a harsh environment and scarce resources, which is unavoidable. Everyone needs to contribute their labor, and Jiang Ming, due to his talent, possessed the ability to contribute his labor at a younger age.

Initially, no one asked Jiang Ming to do this, but he did it himself, saying that he would do his part if he could, and he didn't treat himself like a child. In this environment, Jiang Ming's strength grew rapidly, soon reaching a level that his peers, and even the geniuses among them, could only dream of!
The price he paid for doing so was that he became completely disconnected from his peers.

There aren't many geniuses in Qingshui City to begin with. Jiang Ming's talent is so strong, and he works so hard, that he simply can't fit into the circle of his peers.

Adults treat him like a child, and children treat him like an adult.

At this moment, Jiang Ming truly understood why it is said that geniuses are always lonely.

The situation only improved after he entered Shrek Academy.

Although none of the geniuses who entered the university at the time could match him, they were not as far behind.

Jiang Ming had originally planned to relax a bit, since Shrek Academy was the number one soul master academy on the continent. Becoming the top freshman there proved that he no longer needed to worry about being too bad or falling behind.

But it wasn't until later, when he went to the Soul Guidance Department, that Fan Yu said he had gone astray in his path as a Soul Guidance Master.

His sense of crisis, which had subsided slightly, suddenly surged again.

That feeling is like when you're taking an exam, you've finished answering the multiple-choice questions and filled out the answer sheet, only to find that you filled in the wrong answer!
Even if there is still time to correct it, it will still create a very strong sense of crisis.

After that, Jiang Ming immediately forgot about wanting to relax.

Then came all sorts of rolls.

He was working on cultivation scrolls and learning about soul tools. He also wanted to make more soul tools to support Qingshui City, so he was always on edge.

Even though he could theoretically not be so tense, he didn't stop.

Just keep walking forward, keep walking.
Later, when he entered the far north, he fought the Ice Emperor with his seventh-ring cultivation and was almost killed by him.

By a twist of fate, he was rescued by Meng Hongchen and came to Mingdu. As a teenager, he entered Mingde Hall and began to infiltrate the Sun Moon Empire as Mingjiang, further learning advanced soul tool technology and bringing Mingde Hall's advanced soul master technology back to Shrek Academy.

This undercover operation lasted for nearly ten years!

He has come this far, and at the incredibly young age of twenty-five, he has reached the level of a ninety-fifth-level Super Douluo, and his combat power has reached the level of a Limit Douluo, even stronger than a Limit Douluo.

In terms of status, he is now one of the three strongest forces in the world. He is the honorary pavilion master of the Sea God Pavilion. The sect master of the Body Sect is extremely fond of him and is always thinking about recruiting him to the Body Sect to become the sect master. He almost became the hall master of the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire.

He almost single-handedly took the top positions from the three major powers.

This position is already high enough. In the thousands upon thousands of years of Douluo Continent, Jiang Ming is definitely the first!
But even after reaching this level, he still couldn't stop.

He could have focused on the divine examination; once he completed it and became a god, his merits would have been complete.

However, he didn't want to become a god alone. He also helped Zhang Lexuan achieve godhood. When he entered Qiankun Wenqing Valley, he reminded the Shrek Academy team and the Tang Sect team to try their best to gain benefits in Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

Even during the recent Sea God Pavilion meeting, when Elder Xuan raised the issue of difficulties in rescuing the Soul Masters detained in the Sun Moon Empire, he almost subconsciously felt that he would have no problem going himself.

How should I put it? He was born with the body of a bull or a horse?
Not really, he's just used to keeping himself busy.

"Xiao Ming, you don't need to worry about rescuing the Soul Masters trapped in the Sun Moon Empire. You've already done enough. We can't let you do everything. There are so many people in the academy."

Old Mu patted Jiang Ming on the shoulder. Despite his young face, Jiang Ming could see kindness and gentleness in it.

Jiang Ming nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't get involved in this matter. I'll take a good vacation."

For some reason, when Jiang Ming heard what Old Mu said and recalled his short but busy life, his originally relaxed heart was suddenly overwhelmed by a deep weariness.

Perhaps he's been moving too fast and needs a good rest.

"Yes, that's more like it. Put everything down, get some rest, and sometimes slowing down won't make life any worse."

Old Mu said with a smile.

Then, he glanced at the sky and suddenly became interested.

"Speaking of which, I graduated from the Inner Academy more than two hundred years ago, and I haven't eaten in the Inner Academy's canteen since then. It's lunchtime, so let's give it a try."

Jiang Ming accompanied Elder Mu to the inner courtyard canteen on Poseidon Island for lunch. Although the ingredients and taste were not as good as what Jiang Ming cooked himself, it was still quite delicious.

Especially Mr. Mu, who looked on with satisfaction as he ate and watched more and more students coming to the cafeteria.

"Xiao Ming, the academy has to thank you. After the reform, the number of students in the inner academy has increased significantly. I remember that ten years ago there were only a few dozen students in the inner academy, but now there are more than two hundred."

In a sense, Shrek Academy's inner courtyard is the real Shrek Academy, a gathering place for geniuses and monsters.

Before the reforms, the number of students in the inner academy remained at several dozen.

Now, the number has increased several times over!
It's important to know that the difficulty of the inner court's assessments has not decreased!
Of course, the surge in the number of students in the inner academy also puts a lot of pressure on the academy, since the resources for cultivating outstanding students are a huge number!

Previously, the inner court students hadn't been able to develop properly. One reason was that entering the inner court of Shrek Academy meant becoming a member of the Shrek Inspection Team, and many inner court students sacrificed themselves while carrying out inspection team missions. Another reason was that the academy's resources couldn't support so many outstanding students.

After all, Shrek Academy is just an academy, and even with Shrek City as its backing, its resources are very limited.

However, since the Soul Guidance Department underwent reforms that officially boosted the academy's economy, the resource issue was quickly resolved.

Furthermore, the Inner Academy can equip each Inner Academy student with a complete set of Soul Tool equipment, including an invincible shield, a flying sword Soul Tool, a healing bottle Soul Tool, and a dedicated storage Soul Tool, greatly reducing the risks for Inner Academy students when carrying out inspection team missions.

It is precisely because of these factors that the number of students in the inner academy has been increasing.

And the source of all this lies with Jiang Ming.

"Teacher, this is what I should do."

Jiang Ming said softly.

He helped the academy a lot, and the academy helped him a lot too! The early teachings on soul tools, the various things Elder Mu taught him, the help he gave the elves to evolve, and so on.

These are all mutually beneficial.

Hello, senior.

Jiang Ming and Old Mu were still eating and chatting when two beautiful young girls walked up to Old Mu and greeted him.
