Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 124 Soul Masters and Soul Mentors

After Tang Ya finished her introduction, Xu Yang asked another question.

"Are there any particularly worthwhile places to visit in Shrek City?"

"Let me think about it—"

Tang Ya stroked her chin and began to think.

But it was at this moment that Beibei interrupted.

"By the way, I still don't know where you two siblings came from?"

"Ah, this—"

"I thought you guys had already guessed it, after all, I've already taken out so many soul tools. My sister and I are from the Sun Moon Empire, um—the Sun Moon Empire that Tang Ya just mentioned, the one that was getting defeated by Shrek Academy."

"Huh? How come you two are from the Sun Moon Empire?"

Tang Ya expressed regret that her close friend came from an enemy country.

Xu Yang shrugged.

"It's nothing. The Sun Moon Empire itself has relatively scarce soul beast resources. My sister's martial soul is also quite special, and corresponding soul beasts are hard to find, so I decided to bring her to the Star Dou Great Forest to try my luck."

"Fortunately, the result was not bad. We found a Silver Moon Fox with 1,500 years of cultivation."

"It was purely by chance that we came to Shrek City, and since we're already here, we'd like to take a look around a bit more before we go back."

"After all, this place is now the holy land of soul masters, just like the Spirit City that belonged to the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago."

"Moreover, the devastating defeat is clearly recorded in the history books of the Sun Moon Empire, so there's nothing to be ashamed of."

"Only by facing history squarely can we learn from it and continue to grow."

"Sun and Moon Empire—Brother Yang, what kind of place is the Sun and Moon Empire?"

Huo Yuhao's understanding of the Sun Moon Empire was limited to the fact that Dai Hao had always been stationed on the frontier to defend against the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire.

Xu Yang took out a basic level one soul tool, which was the pen he had created when he first used the Void Treasury, but it wasn't the original version, and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"Compared to the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent, the Sun Moon Empire is more like a world of soul tools. Soul tools permeate every aspect of the Sun Moon Empire, and it is said that there are even civilian soul tools now."

"But this also led to the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Masters generally relying too much on Soul Tools, which made them somewhat weaker in terms of top-tier combat power."

"Like Soul Masters, there is a special profession in the Sun Moon Empire called Soul Masters. As the name suggests, they are Soul Masters who specialize in making these Soul Tools. They are also divided into nine levels, with the higher the level, the more powerful they are."

Huo Yuhao held the pen in his hand, but he couldn't see anything unusual about it.

"By the way, someone with a martial soul like yours might have a high talent for learning about soul tools."

"Shrek Academy also has a Soul Guidance Department, right?"

Xu Yang asked Bei Bei and Tang Ya.

The two nodded, but Huo Yuhao noticed that when Xu Yang talked about soul tools, the usually lively Tang Ya became silent.

"Then you must be a Soul Master, Yang-ge. What level are you?"

"My own Soul Master level isn't very high; many of the Soul Tools I have were made for me by my elders."

Xu Yang said modestly.

"Sister Xiaoya, what do you think about me studying soul tools in the future?"

Tang Ya, who was feeling down, also began to think after hearing Huo Yuhao's words.

Compared to the Martial Soul system, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance system holds a very awkward position. It's primarily for those who can't make it in the Martial Soul system who are forced to transfer there.

Therefore, both in terms of resources and the degree of importance attached to it by the academy, it is far lower than that of the Shrek Academy's orthodox spirit system.

However, it is said that more than four years ago, the Soul Guidance Department began to receive more attention, and every year many outstanding students go to learn how to use Soul Guidance Devices.

However, I didn't see many geniuses among the Soul Masters.

I don't know why.

When Beibei thought back to more than four years ago, he became depressed. Zhang Lexuan, who had been with him since childhood and whom he regarded as an older sister, left without saying goodbye.

Every time he asked Moon why, Moon remained silent.

I also need to tell myself not to think about this anymore.

"So what do you think of Xiao Yuhao's talent as a Soul Master?"

Tang Ya asked Xu Yang, who was sharing a string of candied hawthorns with Gu Yuena.

"You mean Yuhao? His Spirit Eye, as a spirit-type martial soul, is very popular in the world of soul masters. After all, the difficulty of the magic array increases exponentially when it comes to higher-level soul tools."

"Moreover, compared with traditional Soul Masters, Soul Masters have much more to learn."

"You also need to understand some knowledge about various types of soul guidance arrays, different kinds of rare metals, and even martial souls and soul beasts."

"Soul Masters with high mental strength also have an advantage in learning."

"Therefore, in the world of Soul Masters, it is still possible for knowledge to change one's destiny."

"Of course, this is on the premise that your Soul Master talent is not too bad, otherwise no matter how many pills you take to improve your cultivation, the result will be the same."

The hope that had just ignited in Huo Yuhao's eyes was extinguished once again.

Huo Yuhao's talent as a Soul Master was not ideal; he only had a pitiful first-level innate Soul Power. He needed to put in several times more effort than others every day to achieve the same results.

However, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm commented in a very casual manner.

"What this human said is indeed true, Xiao Yuhao, your spiritual talent is quite good. But what he doesn't know is that you have me. With my help, if your second martial soul becomes even stronger, the gap will be completely closed, and you might even surpass these people."

"As for your second martial soul, I've already thought of it. I won't let you down. Once you break through to level 20, I'll take you to find her."

"Then you will become the number one among your peers, and your Brother Bei and Brother Yang will be trampled under your feet."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm laughed smugly as she spoke, making Huo Yuhao feel as if he had made a mistake.

The group strolled and wandered around, and it was almost evening by the time they finished.

"Okay, that's enough for today."

"I still have to take Xiaoyuhao to register for Shrek Academy tomorrow."

Tang Ya waved goodbye to Xu Yang and Gu Yuena, then grabbed Bei Bei and headed towards Shrek Academy. Huo Yuhao quickly followed.

Only Xu Yang and Gu Yuena remained, staring at each other in disbelief.

Shrek City truly lives up to its reputation. Xu Yang pulled off his glasses, wiped them with his clothes, and then put them back on.

The proportion of Soul Masters here is much higher than in other places, and their spending power is also high. It truly lives up to its reputation.

Xu Yang pushed up his glasses slightly, and the lenses shone in the afterglow of the setting sun, causing his eyes to squint involuntarily.

He looked in the direction of Shrek Academy.

Gu Yuena knew that Xu Yang was thinking about some strange things again. She figured Shrek Academy was in for trouble again.
