Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

"Teacher, don't worry. What if you encounter an opportunity to break through one day?"

"Compared to this, I think I have a greater chance of breaking through to the ninth level of Soul Master."

"After all, in a sense, the complexity of an eighth-level sealed milk bottle is higher than that of some simpler ninth-level soul tools."

"Perhaps after careful consideration, Mingde Hall and Gongfeng Hall will issue me a certificate as a Level 9 Soul Master. I don't think those old guys are that blind to the value of the sealed milk bottle."

Xuan Ziwen's tone carried a hint of self-deprecation.

His soul power cultivation level has always been the key factor limiting his breakthrough to the ninth level of Soul Master. He hasn't experienced the feeling of cultivation growth for a long time. Even with the support of numerous medicines, Xuan Ziwen's cultivation level still stagnated at the Soul Douluo level.

"Come with me. Anyway, you don't need to take any boring entrance exams or anything. From now on, your lab will be here with me."

"Also, I have someone who... got in through connections, and he has a bad temper."

"But I think you don't need to worry about it. Today is just to introduce you to them and let them know that you exist."

"You don't need to pay any attention to him."

Xu Yang followed Xuan Ziwen to the personal laboratory that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had prepared specifically for a special-grade teacher like him.

Swipe your card and enter.

The people inside the room saw that Xuan Ziwen had brought a stranger they had never seen before, but none of them paid much attention to him, and not one of them even looked up.

Xuan Ziwen coughed lightly and introduced himself to everyone:

"This is Xu Yang, my new student, but he won't be studying here from now on."

"So today, I'm just introducing you to them, that's all."

Upon hearing Xuan Ziwen's introduction, the group gradually raised their heads and carefully examined the boy Xuan Ziwen had brought. He looked to be only ten years old, a little younger than them.

One of the handsome young men stepped forward and introduced himself to Xu Yang:

"My name is Zimu, that boy's name is Wang Shaojie, and the remaining girl's name is Keke."

Xu Yang nodded, indicating that he understood.

He also spoke up:

"My name is Xu Yang. Like you, I will also be Teacher Xuan's student from now on. However, I have other things to do, so it will be difficult for us to see each other often in the future."

"However, it's still a pleasure to meet everyone."

A hint of surprise flashed across Wang Shaojie and Keke's faces. Clearly, neither of them had expected that Xu Yang, as Xuan Ziwen's student, would not be taking classes with them.

However, the two didn't say much, and after a brief introduction, they went back to doing their own things.

Xuan Ziwen assigned them rather demanding tasks, and with the final exams approaching, they needed to squeeze out time to improve their Soul Master skills.

Xu Yang didn't mind their attitude; after all, he wasn't a gold soul coin, and he wasn't universally loved. Besides, it seemed they were most likely working on things for the final exams.

Xu Yang had just used his mental power to roughly scan the soul guidance array they had inscribed, and had already made a preliminary judgment on their level.

Among these people, Wang Shaojie is probably the least skilled, only at the level of a beginner level two Soul Master. The other two, on the other hand, already appear to be qualified level two Soul Masters.

Similarly, the person with connections that Xuan Ziwen mentioned is most likely Wang Shaojie.

"Come with me, I'll take you to your lab."

Xuan Ziwen led Xu Yang out, went around a corridor, and came to a door. At the same time, he took out a gold card and said:

"This is my lab. You'll be staying here from now on."

Xu Yang's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Teacher, if you give me the lab, what will you use yourself?"

"Mingdetang promoted me to be a researcher, so I will probably be spending a lot of time there in the future, and some of my projects will also be moved there."

"So this laboratory is yours. I spent a lot of money to build it. I doubt there are many laboratories in the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy with more complete facilities than mine."

"After Director Lin found out I was leaving, he begged me for a long time, but I didn't agree. Now you've gotten a good deal."

Xu Yang checked it carefully and found that it was indeed similar to what Xuan Ziwen had said. Xuan Ziwen had really put a lot of effort into this laboratory.

"In addition, the rare metals you need for your future experiments can also be accounted for under my account."

Xu Yang glanced at Xuan Ziwen in surprise.

"There's no need to look at me like that. I just hope you grow up quickly. Maybe I'll need your help when I'm aiming to become a level nine Soul Master. Besides, you and I are among the few who still care about ordinary people."

"I am also of commoner origin, and to be honest, this is the first time I've ever met a nobleman like you."

"Look at that Wang Shaojie, he always looks down on everyone. He only got in by pulling strings."

"Of these three students, he's the one who gives me the most headaches. He doesn't study anything, and I'm ashamed to admit that he's my student when he's so mediocre."

"Xu Yang, I know your talent in soul tools. Becoming a level nine soul master is only a matter of time for you, so remember to give me a hand when that happens..."

Xuan Ziwen said half-jokingly.

Has anyone ever told you, teacher, that talking badly about others behind their backs is a very bad habit?

Xu Yang said quietly.

"I don't care about those things. There's only one thing I care about in my life, and that is whether I can keep researching soul tools."

"The only remaining question is whether or not I can become a level nine Soul Master."

"All right."

Xu Yang now has a complete understanding of Xuan Ziwen's attitude. He is a very pure person, so pure that his world consists only of soul tools.

Xuan Ziwen was willing to give up many things for the sake of the Soul Tool, which explains why he was lured away by Huo Yuhao using the Tang Sect's mechanical technology in the original work. He even betrayed the Sun Moon Empire, which had nurtured him for so long.

Such people have both advantages and disadvantages. The downside is that they have no bottom line. As long as it meets their goals, they will throw themselves into the arms of others without any psychological barriers.

Just like Huo Yuhao.

But as long as his needs can be met, he is the most useful employee, at least comparable to the four Dream Red Dust.

Xu Yang had already gotten to know him over the years.

However, it seems that his mind is still focused on packaging baby bottles, so the probability of him being abducted should be much lower now.

"And...I didn't see Orange today. Is that woman still with Xu Tianran?"

Xu Yang pinched a lock of hair between his index finger and thumb and kept rotating it, a habitual gesture he made when thinking.

Xu Tianran hasn't shown his true colors yet.
