Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 896 Wang Qiu'er, Untouched by Worldly Affairs
"This? I can handle this."

Jiang Ming glanced at the group of Soul Masters behind him and said softly.

The Soul Masters that Lao Nie brought were all Earth or Wood attribute Soul Masters, which made them very efficient at building houses.

But if Jiang Ming wanted to, he would be a Limit Douluo-level earth and wood attribute soul master!

With the elves around, he has many attributes.

"You've come? Your martial spirit?"

Old Nie was stunned.

Jiang Ming nodded and said, "I'll take care of it. Let me think. Xue'er doesn't need one. Sister Le Xuan has a room. I'll just get a room for Luo Chen, Xiao Tao, Li Ya, and Qiu'er."

Jiang Ming calculated this, then leaped up to the sky above the city lord's mansion, took a look, and chose a spot.

Actually, Jiang Ming felt that there was no need to expand his room. His room was already quite large, and it wouldn't be a problem to put in a bed that could fit six people.

Of course, considering that the women were not yet ready to sleep together in the same bed, and that there were two girls who had not yet performed the proper rites, it was better not to do such a thing.

We'll take it one step at a time, as everyone matures and gets to know each other better.

Thinking this, Jiang Ming arrived at an open space in the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion doesn't have many rooms, but there's plenty of open space around it.

Previously, Qingshui City was sparsely populated. Even though the city lord's mansion occupied a large area, it was only used to build some main buildings, leaving most of the land undeveloped.

Therefore, even building four rooms from scratch is not a problem at all.

"rise!"

Jiang Ming looked at the large open space in front of him, his eyes flashing with a yellowish-brown light, and directly used the power of the earth to condense foundations in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the building materials brought by the Soul Masters that Lao Nie had brought flew into the air and were assembled in mid-air at an extremely fast speed.

The speed was so fast that even the experienced master craftsmen watching from the side were dumbfounded.

In just ten minutes, Jiang Ming created four rooms remotely.

Throughout the entire process, Jiang Ming's hands did not touch a single piece of material!
"The young city lord... he doesn't seem to have even released his martial spirit!"

"A quick-thinking Soul Master exclaimed in surprise."

The others were also taken aback when they heard this!
The martial spirit wasn't even released?
Just now, without even releasing his martial spirit, how strong must Jiang Ming's control over his soul power and martial spirit be!

"Alright, Lao Nie, the house is finished. I'm going to buy some furniture."

Jiang Ming clapped his hands and floated out of the city lord's mansion.

With his abilities, setting up a few rooms would be incredibly easy for him!
As for martial souls and soul rings, those are phenomena that low-level soul masters cannot control when they lack sufficient control over their soul power.

Truly powerful Soul Masters, unless in a particularly intense battle, can actually use Soul Power without releasing their Martial Soul and Soul Rings.

Jiang Ming quickly bought the bed.

Since he wouldn't be staying at home for long, he didn't buy any other furniture.

On his way back, Jiang Ming happened to run into Aunt Lan, who was rushing off somewhere, accompanied by Zhang Lexuan and the other women.

Jiang Ming leaned closer and asked curiously, "Aunt Lan, where are you going?"

Aunt Lan said, "I just received the news that you were back, so I rushed home from the academy. I forgot that I had a class today."

Over the years, Qingshui City has developed and now boasts a wealth of supporting facilities.

For example, Soul Master Academy and Soul Master Academy.

Aunt Lan doesn't know much about Soul Masters; the Soul Master Academy is basically run by Soul Masters that Zhang Lexuan has brought in through the Ming Le Chamber of Commerce.

As for the Soul Master Academy, Aunt Lan served as its dean and also taught classes to the students herself.

With Aunt Lan's current Soul Saint level cultivation, even teaching students at an advanced Soul Master Academy would be far beyond her capabilities.

Even within Shrek Academy, there are very few Soul Saint-level experts among the outer court teachers.

The reason Aunt Lan teaches at the Soul Master Academy in Qingshui City is because she was the one who built this advanced Soul Master Academy, so she naturally cares about it very much.

"Attend class?"

Jiang Ming was slightly taken aback.

Zhang Lexuan said softly, "We happen to have nothing else to do, so we'll accompany Aunt Lan to visit the Advanced Soul Master Academy in Qingshui City."

Over the years, Zhang Lexuan has visited Qingshui City more often and for much longer than Jiang Ming.

Even when Aunt Lan established the Advanced Soul Master Academy in Qingshui City, Zhang Lexuan contributed a great deal of resources in all aspects.

"Oh, I think I'll go take a look too. I remember when I went to Shrek Academy, there weren't any advanced soul master academies in Clear Water City yet."

Jiang Ming said with some emotion.

Clearwater City is too remote; the conditions for building an advanced Soul Master Academy here are far too demanding.

Even though Lao Nie and Aunt Lan were willing, they were severely lacking in resources in all aspects.

However, after the replenishment of various resources, Qingshui City gradually became one of the most popular places for ice-attribute soul masters, attracting many ice-attribute soul masters to settle down.

As a result, advanced soul master academies naturally came into being.

Soon, the group arrived at the academy gate.

The words "Qingshui City Advanced Soul Master Academy" are presented in the form of ice sculptures. When sunlight shines on them, it refracts a rainbow of colors, making them look quite magnificent.

Given the consistently low temperatures in Qingshui City, these ice sculptures are unlikely to melt.

Moreover, the ice sculpture is surrounded by lighting devices, including but not limited to, giving it a very high-tech look.

Zhang Lexuan has a strong preference for Qingshui City. Basically, whenever a new civilian soul guidance technology appears in the soul guidance system, it will be equipped in Shrek City and Shrek Academy at the same time.

It can be said that Zhang Lexuan deserves at least half the credit for Qingshui City becoming what it is today!
Upon seeing that it was Aunt Lan, the college gatekeeper immediately opened the gate and let the group in.

Aunt Lan then walked into one of the college buildings.

Because of the harsh environment, the college buildings are not very tall, mostly three or four stories high.

A few minutes later, Aunt Lan led a group of students out of the building and onto the playground.

Jiang Ming and the others sat by a pavilion next to the playground, looking at the group of students full of youthful energy, and they were all somewhat moved.

In terms of level, Qingshui City Advanced Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy belong to the same level of academies.

Both are advanced soul master academies. However, Shrek Academy has a lower admission age, starting to recruit students at the age of twelve.

In reality, the academies in Douluo Continent are ranked from primary soul master academies to intermediate soul master academies, and then to advanced soul master academies.

The Junior Soul Master Academy recruits students who have just awakened their martial soul and have a certain foundation in soul power, as long as they are not born with zero soul power or only have half a level of soul power.

Generally speaking, students in junior soul master academies are between six and twelve years old.

The graduation standard is also very simple: as long as you have a spirit ring and become a formal spirit master, you can graduate from the junior spirit master academy.

For intermediate-level Soul Master academies, the admission age is twelve, and the age range of students is twelve to eighteen.

In terms of the cultivation requirements for admission, the only requirement is to possess a spirit ring, which corresponds to the requirements for graduates of the primary spirit master academy.

Of course, this standard is generally the average level; some better colleges will have higher requirements.

The graduation standard for intermediate soul master academies is to have two soul rings, which means becoming a great soul master.

The admission age for advanced soul master academies is eighteen, and the age range of students is between eighteen and twenty-four. The cultivation standard is the same as that for intermediate soul master academies, requiring two soul rings and the cultivation level of a great soul master.

Generally speaking, the graduation standard for advanced Soul Master academies is the cultivation level of a Soul Venerable.

The Qingshui City Advanced Soul Master Academy is similar to other advanced soul master academies, all adhering to this standard.

Of course, Shrek Academy is a special case.

The age limit for admission is twelve years old, and the cultivation level must be no lower than level fifteen to be eligible to enter the outer academy.

This is still the result of lowering the standards.

The original Shrek Academy required applicants to be no older than twelve, have a cultivation level of at least level twenty, and possess two yellow, century-old soul rings!
The standard for graduation is to have a cultivation level exceeding the Soul Master level before the age of twenty!

Both the admission standards and graduation standards are significantly higher than those of ordinary advanced soul master academies!

"These students are all promising talents. Once they graduate from the academy, whether they join the guards of Qingshui City, shine in other parts of Qingshui City, or venture out to the mainland, they should all achieve good results."

Zhang Lexuan said softly.

Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao both nodded slightly in agreement.

Wang Qiu'er frowned.

"Good prospects? But Senior Sister, these people are all over eighteen years old, and their cultivation is still at the Great Soul Master and Soul Venerable levels. Their future achievements will most likely be limited to Soul Sect and Soul King."

Upon hearing this, both Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao immediately looked at Wang Qiu'er with somewhat strange expressions.

Zhang Lexuan didn't seem to mind. She knew Wang Qiu'er's straightforward nature, and upon hearing this, she simply smiled helplessly and said, "Qiu'er, you can't compare this place to Shrek Academy! Shrek Academy gathers geniuses from all over the continent. But this is an academy for ordinary soul masters. At eighteen, if your cultivation is at two or three rings, you won't graduate from the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy, but here, it's already quite good."

Moreover, Soul Masters and Soul Kings aren't considered weak among Soul Masters. The vast majority of Soul Masters on the continent only reach a maximum cultivation level of two or three Soul Rings. If everyone started as a four-ring Soul Master like at Shrek Academy, the overall strength of Soul Masters on the continent would be ridiculously high!

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu'er blinked, thought for a moment, and realized that seemed to be the case.

If the weakest Soul Masters on the continent were all at the same level as the four-ring Soul Masters of Shrek Academy's outer academy, then the overall strength of human Soul Masters would be terrifying!

Jiang Ming wasn't surprised that Wang Qiu'er would say such a thing.

He already knew that Wang Qiu'er was an imperial auspicious beast.

What kind of existence is the Imperial Auspicious Beast?
Born with wealth and good fortune, they can also help the surrounding spirit beasts increase their cultivation speed.

Upon its appearance, it was immediately protected by the top ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Even the soul beasts she used as food were powerful, exotic soul beasts.

After arriving in the human world, she barged into Shrek Academy, and didn't even go to the outer courtyard, but went straight into the inner courtyard!

Then came the major tournaments.
Upon reflection, Wang Qiu'er realized that she had never actually met any "geniuses" who were relatively ordinary.

The students in front of them might indeed have difficulty graduating from the outer academy of Shrek Academy, but in the eyes of ordinary soul masters, and even those soul masters who are not qualified to enter advanced soul master academies, these students are already geniuses!
All I can say is that their perspectives are indeed different.

Of course, this also involves some common sense issues, and Wang Qiu'er clearly lacks this kind of common sense among ordinary people.

The training ground of the Qingshui City Advanced Soul Master Academy is very large. This is because Qingshui City itself is a sparsely populated area, and the Advanced Soul Master Academy is of great significance to Qingshui City. Therefore, it was built as large as possible from the beginning.

Around the playground, there are pavilions, swings, and some sports facilities.

In the very center of the playground is a fighting arena covering an area of ​​about 100 square meters.

This is a place for students to practice and exchange ideas; theoretical teaching needs to be combined with practical experience to achieve the greatest effect.

"Xiaoming, come here for a second!"

Jiang Ming was about to relax here and see what the younger generation of Qingshui City was like when he heard Aunt Lan calling him from the other side of the playground.

He walked over to Aunt Lan and the other students. His handsome appearance and mature demeanor made the female students' hearts flutter.

Jiang Ming looked at Aunt Lan and asked in confusion, "Aunt Lan, what's wrong?"

Aunt Lan said softly, "You've finally come back, and these are all young people from Qingshui City. Would you like to give them some guidance?"

Before Jiang Ming could say anything after hearing Aunt Lan's words, the female students couldn't contain themselves any longer.

"Great!"

"Handsome guy, please give us some pointers!"

"Handsome guy, do you have a girlfriend? What do you think of me?"

"Damn, you're so direct?"

"First come, first served!"

"Can't you be a little more reserved?!"

"Why should I be reserved when there are handsome guys around? I'm going to let them see me!"

The female trainees screamed excitedly, while the male trainees remained silent, their gazes towards Jiang Ming filled with hostility.

Clearly, human joys and sorrows are not the same.

Then, Zhang Lexuan and the other women came over.

Just as Jiang Ming possessed a look and temperament that far surpassed those of the male students, Zhang Lexuan and the other female students also possessed a look and temperament that far surpassed those of the female students.

However, when they wanted to cheer like the girls, or even sing "The Girl Across the Way," an extremely strong sense of crisis instantly surged into their hearts, shattering the excitement brought by hormones.

Jiang Ming looked at the students in front of him, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'll give you a little guidance."
