Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Emperor, Unifying the Continent!

"When things reach an impasse, change is necessary; change leads to progress; once one thing is achieved, everything else follows!"

Xu Tianming spoke slowly. Although he was the same age as Beibei and Tangya, or even a little younger, he gave the impression of a profound sage, and every word he spoke was convincing.

"Soul tools combined with hidden weapons... Soul tools combined with hidden weapons..."

Tang Ya kept murmuring these words, her bright eyes seemingly lost in some kind of enlightenment, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"Xu Tianming, Tang Ya, she..."

Beibei looked at Xu Tianming and asked with some concern.

Xu Tianming stood up and said softly, "Let her think it over carefully. If she figures it out, everything will be fine. If she doesn't, it's good that the Tang Clan disappears into the annals of history."

As he spoke, he picked up his lunchbox and went to wash it at the sink, adding casually:

"You can use this table for now, but don't forget to bring it back to your dorm."

He has said everything he needed to say. If Tang Ya can't understand the meaning behind his words, then there's nothing more he can do.

For him, if Tang Ya could comprehend it now, then the Tang Sect would have two more years to stay on the right path.

He will also make further arrangements for Tang Ya.

But if she can't get over it, then sorry, he won't care about Tang Ya anymore. He won't care if she becomes an evil soul master or is taken to the Holy Spirit Cult to be a saintess.

They might even use Tang Ya as a source of experience points!

As for the Tang Clan, his desire to go with the flow doesn't mean he can't go against it!

...

Back in his dormitory, Xu Tianming continued his meditation practice.

Even though the cultivation speed of a Soul Master with an ultimate attribute Martial Soul is very slow, even outrageously slow, between levels 30 and 70, Xu Tianming gradually adapted.

However, he also clearly realized that he could not stay at this pace of cultivation for too long.

too slow!

Judging from the timeline, Xu Tianran will launch his plan in eight years, around the time the Sun Moon Empire holds the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.

It wasn't the official start of the war, but it could be said to be the origin of the conflict.

Before that time arrives, he must possess sufficient strength and a high enough standing within Shrek Academy!

Xu Tianming's goal for himself was to reach the seventh ring in cultivation by the age of twenty, before the grand competition! His combat strength should be at least at the eighth ring, or even the ninth ring!

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to gain any initiative in the war.

To achieve this, resources are essential!

Obtain resources from the Sun and Moon Empire?

This will not work.

If he hadn't distinguished himself and the powerful figures at Shrek Academy hadn't paid attention to him, he could indeed have obtained resources from the Sun Moon Empire under the cover of certain people in Shrek City.

But once he enters the sight of Shrek's powerful members, doing this again will be too easy to be discovered!

Therefore, he needs to make a change.

Shift the source of cultivation resources from the Sun Moon Empire to Shrek Academy!

If he can successfully complete this transformation, Xu Tianming believes that his cultivation speed will be much faster in comparison!

After all, no matter what, Shrek Academy is the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent!

This is not just empty talk; it's something that the entire Douluo Continent acknowledges.

Even though the Sun Moon Empire is a vast empire, Shrek Academy is definitely superior in the training of Soul Masters, especially in the training of Soul Masters with ultimate attributes.

Not to mention, the resources from the Sun Moon Empire... depend on Xu Tianran's ideas.

Perhaps Xu Tianran is in a good mood today and will give a lot of resources, but tomorrow he may be in a bad mood, suspicious and wary of Xu Tianming, and will not give them any.

Comparatively speaking, Shrek Academy is a bit more stable.

"Tomorrow's competition should be even more intense. The freshman assessment... let's make a name for ourselves throughout Shrek Academy from here!"

Xu Tianming thought to himself.

He could even guess that the elders of the Sea God Pavilion in the inner courtyard were watching his performance closely.

The morning sun felt warm on their skin, but the expressions on the faces of the new students heading to the assessment area were a mixture of joy and worry.

After the first five rounds, a group of freshmen who lost all five matches have already been eliminated. Even those who remain face immense pressure.

The freshman assessment will eliminate a full half of the freshmen!

With such a high elimination rate, apart from teams composed entirely of second-ring Soul Masters or even teams with third-ring Soul Venerables, no one else can guarantee they won't be eliminated.

"Still not using Martial Soul today?"

Over the past two days, Wang Yan had become quite familiar with Xu Tianming. As soon as he saw Xu Tianming arrive in District 13, he immediately asked him something.

In the previous five matches, Xu Tianming had not used his martial spirit even once.

To this day, Wang Yan still doesn't know what Xu Tianming's martial soul is.

He had considered asking Xu Tianming's homeroom teacher directly, but ultimately decided it would be better to witness it with his own eyes.

Xu Tianming thought for a moment and said, "It depends. If my opponent can make me use my Martial Soul, then I will use it."

With his current physical strength, without releasing his martial soul, he can easily overwhelm a one-ring soul master, and most two-ring soul masters as well. As for three-ring soul masters... I haven't tried it, so I won't make any definitive statements.

"Alright, I'll be waiting to see you unleash your Martial Soul!"

Wang Yan nodded, and without much further discussion, began today's competition assessment.

The competition proceeded at a very fast pace, with five matches held in one day to select the teams to be eliminated in the freshman assessment, followed by the ranking matches to compete for the championship.

Soon, the last match of the day in District 13 began.

"Xu Tianming from Class 1 versus Class 9..."

The expression on the face of the freshman from Class 9 whose name was called immediately fell.

Their strength is not weak; the team has two second-ring Soul Masters and one first-ring Soul Master, which is considered average among all the groups.

But after watching Xu Tianming's match two days ago, they knew very well what was going on.

"Captain, we..."

Across from Xu Tianming, two freshmen from Class 9 looked at their captain.

They definitely can't win a fight.

The smaller teams that were stronger than them were all defeated by Xu Tianming.

The captain took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Give it a shot! Even if we can't win, we can't just give up! Anyway, this is the last elimination round, so even if we lose, we won't be eliminated."

"Since that's the case, let's take a gamble! Let's see if we can force Xu Tianming to unleash his martial spirit! That would be a victory for us!"

The voice sounded like it was making grand pronouncements, but the content...

Let's give it a shot. If the three of us force out the martial soul of one of the opponents, then we'll win?

Is that correct?
