Douluo Continent: Starting with the Tiger Emperor Template

The students led Lu Ren to the far east end of the first floor of the first-grade teaching building.

They stopped in front of a door with a sign above it that read: Physical Testing Room.

The student in the lead took out a sign hanging around his neck from his pocket and waved it at a round, crystal-like spot on the door.

With a soft "beep," the double metal doors slid open silently to both sides.

"Please come in." The student stepped aside to indicate.

Lu Ren strode in.

The room wasn't particularly large, about 100 square meters, and it contained many large soul tools.

Unlike the soul tools commonly found outside, the equipment here has a simpler structure, but the soul power fluctuations it faintly emits are quite powerful.

The student leading the way introduced the following to Lu Ren:

"This is our academy's physical testing area. All students entering the academy must complete a physical test here every year."

"Don't be too nervous. No matter what kind of soul conductor detector it is, it will not cause any harm to your body."

"Thank you, senior." Lu Ren nodded, his tone polite.

The student was clearly taken aback.

The ruthless guy who punched Wang Shaojie so hard at the door that his nose bled profusely is now being so polite.

He chuckled twice:

"Yes, yes... Oh, right, put away all the soul tools you have on you first, so as not to affect the data during the scan later."

"Please hand over your storage soul tool to us for safekeeping. Make sure you don't have any metal on you."

Lu Ren took out a storage soul tool from his pocket and handed it over.

"no problem."

……

On the other side of the physical testing room.

Behind a huge one-way mirror.

Jing Hongchen stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze falling through the glass onto the boy who was cooperating with the inspection.

Lin Jiayi stood half a step behind him, not daring to breathe.

"Is this the kid?" Jing Hongchen asked.

"Yes." Lin Jiayi lowered his voice, "It's him, Lu Ren."

Jing Hongchen didn't say anything more, just watched quietly.

……

In the physical testing room.

A middle-aged man in a teacher's uniform walked over and pointed to a strangely shaped instrument in the center of the room.

It was a tall, vertical cylinder, about two and a half meters high. There was a crystal column running from top to bottom on the front of the cylinder, and a circular platform on the ground in front of it.

"Stand up there," the teacher said, "facing the crystal pillar."

Lu Ren followed the instructions and stood facing the crystal pillar.

Another teacher walked to the side of the instrument and placed his palm on a palm-shaped indentation on the side.

Another teacher stood on the other side, holding a notebook and pen, ready to take notes.

"Relax completely. Let's begin."

As the teacher finished speaking, a surge of intense soul power was suddenly released.

The white halo was most noticeable on his arm.

Immediately afterwards, a white light shone from the top of the Soul Conductor detector.

The light, in a fan shape, covered an area of ​​about one square meter, slowly sweeping down from top to bottom.

It's not fast.

It took half a day to scan from Lu Ren's head to his chest.

The teacher standing to the side, responsible for recording, has begun to read out the data:

"Physical strength, unknown."

Lu Ren's eyelids twitched.

"Physical resilience, unknown."

The teacher in charge of the operation frowned slightly.

"Soul power fluctuation, level 44."

Bone age: 14 years old.

Height: 1.82 meters.

"Weight, 81 kilograms."

"Spirit Ring Configuration: First Spirit Ring, approximately 1,000 years; Second Spirit Ring, approximately 5,000 years; Third Spirit Ring, approximately 10,000 years; Fourth Spirit Ring, approximately 50,000 years."

After he finished speaking, the entire physical testing room fell silent for a second.

"Beep, beep, beep...!"

The Soul Conductor suddenly emitted a piercing alarm, the light on the crystal pillar began to flash wildly, and the numbers on the data panel jumped around erratically as if they were going crazy.

The teacher in charge of taking notes was dumbfounded, her voice trembling:

"Data corruption, the Soul Conductor detector is malfunctioning..."

Inside the physical testing room, everyone was stunned.

The teacher in charge of the operation quickly withdrew his hand, and the alarm on the instrument gradually subsided, but everyone's eyes fell on Lu Ren.

Unknown data appeared regarding physical strength and resilience.

In other words, even the Soul Conductor detector couldn't measure Lu Ren's physical data!

This soul conduction measuring instrument can accurately measure the physical data of even a Soul Emperor, but it can't measure the data of a Soul Master.

Either the instrument is broken, but unfortunately, it was just calibrated yesterday.

Either the kid's body has exceeded the limits of the equipment.

And then there's the configuration of the spirit rings; the first spirit ring is a thousand years old, which is beyond the realm of genius.

Not to mention the incredible configuration of the second, third, and fourth spirit rings.

Is this something a normal person could have?

The fourth spirit ring is 50,000 years old?

A Soul Master absorbed a 50,000-year-old Soul Ring?

Isn't that something only Soul Saints can consider?

The staff around him looked at Lu Ren as if he were a monster.

Lu Ren stood expressionless on the circular platform, letting those gazes sweep over him.

My heart was completely unmoved.

The value he has demonstrated is already significant enough.

……

Behind the one-way mirror.

Jing Hongchen's pupils contracted slightly.

"Fourth spirit ring, 50,000 years... 50,000 years!"

He murmured repeatedly, his voice trembling slightly, without even realizing it himself.

Jing Hongchen has seen countless geniuses.

But such a monster is something I've never even heard of, let alone seen.

"This guy is truly a prodigy."

Jing Hongchen took a deep breath, turned to look at Lin Jiayi behind her, and her tone rarely carried a hint of approval:

"You did a good job."

Lin Jiayi was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, "It's my duty."

"If this matter is reported, you will surely be rewarded," Jing Hongchen said.

"Thank you, Master!"

Lin Jiayi's voice trembled with excitement.

This was the best decision he ever made in his life.

If those old guys at Shrek Academy knew that such a monstrous genius had been brought into the academy, they'd probably be furious enough to vomit blood.

However, Jing Hongchen's gaze had already returned to Lu Ren, and her eyes had become deep.

"but……"

He spoke slowly, the approval in his tone fading, replaced by a calm scrutiny:

"We still need to investigate his background, identity, and purpose."

Lin Jiayi was taken aback:

"What the sect leader means is..."

Jing Hongchen stood with his hands behind his back, his voice low and deep:

"Such a prodigy would be among the top tier even at Shrek Academy."

"Those old guys at Shrek Academy are absolutely willing to give up all their resources to forcefully promote his growth. Their treatment will definitely not be lower than ours, it will only be higher."

He paused, his gaze fixed on the boy on the other side of the glass:

"So why did he give up the better Shrek Academy and come here instead?"

This is a very pointed question.

Jing Hongchen is not someone who underestimates himself.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is indeed strong, but its strength lies in the field of soul tools.

If it comes to training Soul Masters, they are the best in the entire continent.

However, if you want to cultivate pure Soul Masters, Shrek Academy is the true holy land.

Judging from the configuration of his spirit rings, the young man in front of us is a spirit master.

A prodigy who majors in Soul Masters, instead of going to Shrek Academy, the holy land of Soul Masters, he runs to Sun Moon Royal Academy, which majors in Soul Guidance Devices.

Either he has ulterior motives.

Either he's an undercover agent sent by Shrek Academy.

However... if he really is an undercover agent, then Shrek is being far too generous.

Would you really send such a prodigy as an undercover agent?

Aren't you afraid they'll turn against you?

"Yes." Lin Jiayi suppressed the joy on his face and said seriously, "I will send someone to investigate immediately."

"Go ahead," Jing Hongchen waved his hand.

Lin Jiayi bowed and left quickly.

Jing Hongchen stood still, her gaze lingering on that tall, imposing figure through the one-way glass.

Inside the physical testing room, Lu Ren was walking down from the circular platform, looking completely normal, as if those astonishing data had nothing to do with him.

He even smiled at the staff next to him and said something.

Jing Hongchen narrowed his eyes.

This kid...

What is sacred?

……

In the physical testing room.

Lu Ren took his storage soul tool and casually asked the senior next to him:

"The data is out, did I pass?"

The senior opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

If your data is not up to standard, then there are no qualified people in the entire mainland!

"Ahem... Um, Lu Ren, right?" The teacher in charge of the operation coughed and walked over. "Your test is complete. The head of student affairs will discuss the specific results with you personally."

Lu Ren nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Before the words had even finished, a deep, resonant voice slowly rang out, clearly enveloping the entire physical testing room:

"Director Lin still has important matters to attend to, so I will personally discuss the follow-up matters with him."

The moment the voice fell, the temperature in the physical testing room seemed to drop a few degrees.

All the teachers and students turned to look, and saw the side door of the one-way glass door being pushed open. Jing Hongchen walked in slowly, his eyes sharp as an eagle's. He did not release any soul power, but the imposing aura of someone who had long held a high position made everyone present fall silent instantly and bow in respect.

"I've met the hall master!"

"Master!"

Jing Hongchen nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over the crowd and landing directly on Lu Ren. A deep smile appeared on her lips as she slowly walked forward.

"Young friend, your physical test results are truly astonishing to this old man."

Lu Ren looked up to meet his gaze, his expression remaining calm and relaxed, without the slightest hint of unease. He simply nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"You flatter me, Master. They are just ordinary talents."

A seemingly ordinary statement about qualifications caused the eyelids of the surrounding teachers to twitch uncontrollably.

If this were ordinary talent, then all the Soul Masters on the continent would probably be useless!

Jing Hongchen inwardly praised the young man's calm and composed nature, unfazed by praise or criticism. His face remained impassive as he stepped aside in an inviting gesture, his tone gentle yet carrying undeniable weight:

"This place is too crowded and noisy; it's not the right place for a detailed discussion. How about you come with me to my office for a chat?"

"I would like to discuss with you carefully your admission benefits, cultivation resources, and your promise to help us defeat Shrek Academy in the competition."

Lu Ren understood that Jing Hongchen was trying to personally test his background and finalize the terms of their cooperation.

He readily agreed:

"To be personally received by the Hall Master is something I could never ask for."

A hint of approval flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes. Without saying another word, she turned and walked out.

"please."

Lu Ren followed closely behind, and the two walked out of the physical testing room side by side.

Only after the two figures disappeared at the end of the corridor did the people in the physical testing room dare to breathe heavily, their eyes still filled with disbelief and shock as they looked at each other.

This is the first new student to receive such courtesy from Jing Hongchen since the founding of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!
