Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 27 Entrance Examination, Hongchen Brothers and Sisters

On the attic. Ying Qian's eyes were calm and deep, as if he could penetrate the barrier of time, and saw that Jing Hongchen's arrival was already expected. He put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head leisurely, and his eyes traveled through the air, as if he was thinking about some profound philosophy.

The arrival of Jing Hongchen did not disturb Ying Qian's tranquility, but gave him a chance to talk to him. Ying Qian had long wanted to meet the head of Mingde Hall. After all, being on good terms with Jing Hongchen would be good for Ying Qian's future plans.

"Master Hongchen, you are here." Ying Qian's voice was calm and firm, revealing a kind of calmness that was not interested in competing with the world.

Jing Hongchen smiled slightly, with a hint of subtle surprise in his eyes. "Senior Ying Qian, did you know I would come?"

Ying Qian smiled and shook his head. "I don't know everything, but in this attic, I can sense the subtle changes of many things. Your arrival is just one of them."

Jing Hongchen frowned slightly. He didn't like others knowing more about him than he expected. But he also knew that Ying Qian was an unusual person, and his wisdom and insight far exceeded that of ordinary people.

"I came to see you because there are some things I need to discuss with Senior Ying." Jing Hongchen said, with a hint of sincerity and expectation in his tone.

Ying Qian listened quietly and did not respond immediately. He knew what Jing Hongchen was going to say, but he did not speak directly.

"Please speak, Master Hongchen." Ying Qian said calmly.

Jing Hongchen flipped his wrist and placed a map of the academy in front of Yingqian.

"Senior Ying, this is the address of the new campus that our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy has built for you." Jing Hongchen said, pointing to a piece of land next to the original Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

"Yes." Ying Qian nodded calmly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master Hongchen. You can just take care of these things. You don't need to come and report to me specifically."

Jing Hongchen smiled slightly and nodded, "I understand, Senior Ying. I will do my best to handle this matter. However, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you, Yingying."

"It's about the students!" Ying Qian guessed.

"Yes." Seeing that Ying Qian had guessed his intention, Jing Hongchen simply spoke frankly.

"Senior Ying is coming to our Sun Moon Royal Family. I and all the researchers at Mingde Hall warmly welcome you. But regarding this issue concerning students, I still need to ask Senior Ying for his opinion."

Ying Qian put down the teacup in his hand and smiled. "Don't bother. I'm not a god. I don't have the energy to teach so many people. I will only choose a few students who look good and let them practice with me for a few days occasionally."

"Then what is the selection method?"

"Let's set it based on the standards for freshman assessment! Didn't we only test students' talent in making soul guides in previous years? Let's add in actual combat this time! I will watch it in person and select a few talented students to teach." Ying Qian interrupted.

"I understand." Jing Hongchen nodded in response, with a hint of expectation in his expression. You know, his grandson and granddaughter both officially enrolled in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy this year, and they both have good talents. If they can practice with an Extreme Douluo like Ying Qian.
Jing Hongchen was also a little excited when he thought of this. Just when he was about to get up and say goodbye to Ying Qian, he heard Ying Qian suddenly say.

"That girl Gu Yi must have caused a lot of trouble for the Red Dust Hall Master!"

Jing Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Senior, you are joking. I can't say that he has caused me any trouble. That child has always been taciturn. He only listens a little more when it comes to you, senior."

Ying Qian also frowned and said, "Well, come to think of it, I haven't seen that child for more than a year. This year is also the day she will start school!"

"That's right. Not only is Gu Yi a leader in the cultivation of his martial soul, he's also extremely gifted in the use of soul guides. He's only been with me for a year, but he's already surpassed my grandson." Jing Hongchen exclaimed.

"Your grandson has good talent. But Master Hongchen should listen to me. A soul master's cultivation depends on his own willpower and hard work, and he cannot rely solely on external forces." Ying Qian said kindly.

"I understand. Senior Ying. Then I'll take my leave first." Jing Hongchen stood up and bowed to Ying Qian.

Ying Qian nodded, "Okay, remember to come to me anytime if you have anything."

Half a month later, it was another sunny morning. The Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was already bustling with people. There were more than a thousand new students, setting a record for the number of new students enrolled in the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Such a large number of people seemed very spacious in the huge campus.

This has to be said about the campus construction of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. The campus of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is located in the center of Mingdu. It covers a large area, which is much larger than the palace of the Sun Moon Empire. There is a piece of rockery built inside, which is picturesque and beautiful in all seasons. The campus is surrounded by verdant woods, and clear streams flow slowly, creating a quiet and pleasant atmosphere.

The architectural style of the campus is a fusion of classic and modern, with tall towers and exquisite courtyards complementing each other. Magnificent teaching buildings stand in the center of the campus, with carved beams and painted buildings, and are magnificent. Each teaching building has a unique design style, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the college.

The campus is full of green trees, flowers and grass, and carefully manicured gardens and landscapes, which add vitality to the campus. Walking on the paths of the campus, you can feel the fresh air and the fragrance of flowers, as if you are in a dreamland like a paradise.

In addition to the teaching buildings, the campus also has spacious and modern student dormitories equipped with soul guides everywhere, with complete facilities and comfortable environment. In the student dormitory area, even though it is just the beginning of the school year, you can see students of different grades and majors living busy and energetically, communicating and learning with each other, and making progress together. In the center of the campus stands a towering clock tower. Whenever the bell rings, it will echo throughout the campus, reminding students of the passage of time and motivating them to study hard and grow and progress.

In general, the campus of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is a place full of academic atmosphere and humanistic feelings. It is not only a palace of knowledge, but also a holy place in the hearts of the people of the Sun-Moon Empire, carrying endless hopes and longings.

Soon, the noisy freshmen quieted down. Lin Jiayi, the director of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, appeared in front of the freshmen with a folder in his hand and a group of teachers.

He glanced at the freshmen this year with a smile on his face, and then slowly said, "Congratulations to everyone for enrolling in our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy."

Lin Jiayi's voice was gentle and charming, like a spring breeze, bringing a touch of freshness and comfort. The freshmen looked up at him standing on the podium, their faces full of expectation and longing.

"Here, you will receive the best soul mentor education, explore your potential, and realize your dreams." His eyes swept across everyone present, as if he could see through the dreams and pursuits in their hearts.

"In the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, we not only focus on the education of soul guides, but also pay more attention to the talent and hard work of each student." His voice was firm and full of enthusiasm. "So starting this year, our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy has also opened a martial soul training course. And His Majesty the Dragon Douluo of our Sun Moon Empire will serve as the dean."

There was a slight commotion among the students, their eyes flashing with curiosity and excitement. After all, the cultivation of martial spirits was an extremely noble and mysterious existence throughout the continent.

"Therefore, this year's entrance examination will be different from previous years." He continued, with a hint of mystery in his voice, "In addition to the previous soul guide production, we will also add actual combat assessment content. This will provide more opportunities and platforms for students who are interested in cultivating martial spirits."

"Your class teacher will tell you about the time and method of the assessment. I believe that you will all show your talent and strength in this assessment." He scanned the students with his blessing tone, "I wish every student can gain a lot in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and achieve a brilliant future!"

After he finished speaking, all the freshmen burst into applause. Amid the warm applause, Lin Jiayi quietly stepped back and handed the stage to the teachers behind him. Soon, these teachers began to read out the names of the freshmen one by one according to the list and took them back to their classes. The playground, which was bustling with people just now, instantly returned to silence. Only the clock tower in the center of the square was ticking.

Class 1 for freshmen. At this moment, the freshmen were led by their teachers to their classes. The students in the class were all happily discussing what the dean of studies, Lin Jiayi, had just said.

"Hehe, bro. This year's entrance exam seems to be different from usual!"

The person who spoke was a young girl, with long hair of a rare wine red color, like mellow grape wine, shimmering with a faint luster. But her eyes were not red, but blue.

The boy he called brother did have snow-white hair that fluttered in the wind. He was as proud as its owner, and his two-color eyes made him even more handsome.

"Meng! Are you so unconfident in your brother's ability?" The boy's eyes were full of arrogance no matter who he looked at, but when facing his sister, his eyes were full of doting.

The girl smiled and shrugged, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Brother, you know, this year's exam is indeed a little different! Even the number of new students enrolled this year is the largest in previous years. I don't want to make a fool of myself under the new assessment method."

The boy shook his head gently, a smile spreading across his face. "Meng, don't worry. I am full of confidence! Although we don't know the assessment method for this exam, let's show our true strength and prove it to them! I must study in the Wuhun Department." His tone revealed a fearless confidence.

"Yes! I know, I know, Senior Shenlong is your idol! You must be his disciple." The girl said excitedly. To be honest, he was not very interested in Shenlong Douluo. Because those who could become Extreme Douluo must be a group of old men, just like his grandfather.

The boy smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with a fiery light. "Of course! No matter what the rules of the exam are, I must enter the Wuhun Department." Aren't these two similar-looking boys and girls the brother and sister Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen!

Soon, the teacher of the freshman class walked into the classroom with the materials he had just received. As soon as he came in, the originally noisy classroom immediately became quiet. Looking at the freshmen sitting quietly in their seats, he nodded with satisfaction.

A man in a neat teacher's uniform walked up to the podium. He threw a thick stack of materials on the podium, adjusted his glasses, and showed a serious and professional aura. "Hello, students. I am the teacher of your freshman class. My name is Shen Xiu. Of course, this is only temporary."

His voice was steady and powerful, revealing a kind of confidence and authority. "Director Lin has just said this at the freshman entrance ceremony. This year's entrance exam will be different from previous years. In addition to the assessment of the basic knowledge of soul guides, there will be an additional practical test."

His eyes scanned every student in the audience, as if he wanted to engrave each of their faces in his mind. "Of course, you don't have to worry about failing the assessment. Considering the special circumstances of this year, the actual combat assessment results will only be recorded on the martial soul department side, not on the soul guidance department side. So, if you want to become a powerful soul guide in the future, you still have to prepare well for the exam on the basic knowledge of soul guides."

After Shen Xiu finished speaking, some freshmen breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, not all freshmen could pass the practical test. So after hearing what their head teacher Shen Xiu said, they finally put their minds at ease.

"Okay, next I'll talk about the things you should pay attention to when taking the entrance exam." Shen Xiu continued.

"The assessment will be held in three days. It is divided into two parts, namely the assessment of basic knowledge of soul guides and the practical assessment. The assessment of basic knowledge of soul guides is divided into a written test of basic knowledge and a simple soul guide manufacturing experiment. As for what soul guide parts you are required to have, it will be decided by drawing lots on the day of the assessment. But they are not very difficult. Anyone who has learned a little bit can make them."

"As for the practical assessment, the academy does not force all of you students to participate. Because this is a requirement of the Wuhun Department. You only need to take the practical assessment if you want to join the Wuhun Department. You can use soul guides for the practical assessment, but the premise is that they can only be made by yourself. And the soul guide you make cannot exceed your own soul guide level."

"As for the method of the actual combat assessment, you will come to me to pick up the form first, and then a special teacher will register for you. I will tell you the rules later."
