Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Emperor, Unifying the Continent!

As expected, he failed to break through the level 40 bottleneck, but the bottleneck had loosened considerably. According to Xu Tianming's own estimate, he could break through it in less than a month!

"Sigh...it's still faster to improve your cultivation by killing evil spirit masters!"

Xu Tianming couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, while it's a matter of feeling sentimental, the danger is real!

Moreover, the surge in cultivation level needs to be consolidated, which also takes time.

After checking the time, Xu Tianming went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came back, he found that Beibei had also returned.

Beibei: "Oh, the busy man is back? How did the mission go?"

Xu Tianming thought for a moment.

Was the mission successful?

Anyway, I passed the assessment in the end.

"It's alright, I almost died."

His tone was light and casual, but the information he conveyed made Beibei's eyes widen instantly!

"You almost died?!"

He had always thought that the mission Xu Tianming mentioned was a relatively safe and simple one. After all, everyone was still a first-year student, and even though Xu Tianming's strength far exceeded that of his peers, he shouldn't be doing anything too dangerous.

The moment he uttered the words "almost died," he instantly realized that Xu Tianming's mission was no simple matter!

Even the Demon King, who could fight the Soul Emperor's homeroom teacher head-on at the third ring level, almost died. How dangerous must this mission be!

Beibei quickly asked, "What's going on? What kind of mission are you on?!"

As Xu Tianming's roommate, he had a fairly good understanding of Xu Tianming's personality.

This guy definitely wouldn't have said that if he hadn't almost died.

Xu Tianming looked at Bei Bei and said softly, "It's nothing, just killing an evil soul master."

As he spoke, he placed the towel on the shelf and sat down at his desk to clean out the items in his storage device one by one.

The food stored in the soul tool at his waist was completely used up. Normally, this amount of food would have been more than enough for him to eat by himself, but with Zhang Lexuan in tow, the consumption doubled.

Fortunately, the whole process didn't take a month, and they returned to the academy after running out of food.

Regarding soul tools, most of the soul tools he prepared for this assessment were ruined!

This includes two defensive soul guides and two soul guide rays.

The Soul Cannon was useless; using it in a cave would likely bury you alive.

But this also made Xu Tianming feel very sorry for him.

Soul-guided rays are alright, he doesn't use them often.

He spent a lot of time making the defensive soul tool, but the Blood Hand Evil Soul Master shattered it with just two slaps!

All I can say is that the evil soul master with the original martial soul is still too overpowered. After using the soul skill, his arm is thicker than his waist! One punch from him and even a level four defensive soul tool can't withstand it!

"Sigh... I still need to reach level five!"

Xu Tianming frowned slightly as he looked at the four remnants of soul tools laid out in front of him.

His Soul Master level had been stuck at level four for a long time, but with the improvement of his Soul Power cultivation, he felt that he could try to make level five Soul Tools.

"Kill an evil soul master? You're only at the third ring level. Who gave you the mission to kill an evil soul master? And... damn it! Your level four defensive soul tool is shattered. What level of evil soul master did you kill? A Soul King?"

Beibei walked to Xu Tianming's side and was stunned when she saw the broken soul tool remnants that Xu Tianming had placed on his desk.

Two of the level-four defensive soul tools were shattered. Coupled with Xu Tianming's strength, even if he was an evil soul master, his cultivation level was at least at the Soul King level!

"Not the Soul King."

Xu Tianming said calmly.

Beibei blinked: "Not a Soul King? A Soul Master? Impossible! A Soul Master at the Soul Master level could... no, it can't be a Soul Emperor, right? A Soul Emperor level evil Soul Master?!"

Halfway through her sentence, Beibei almost jumped up.

"You killed a Soul Emperor-level evil Soul Master?!"

Xu Tianming frowned slightly, glanced at Bei Bei, and said, "Why are you so agitated? Can't you calm down?"

Beibei looked completely incredulous.

"Calm? How can I be calm?! You, a three-ring Soul Master, killed a six-ring Soul Emperor and came back unscathed, how...how did you do that?"

He knew Xu Tianming was strong, ridiculously strong, so strong that he was unreasonable, but he really didn't expect him to be this unreasonable!

This was completely beyond his comprehension!

How is that possible?

"Quick, quick, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Beibei clung to Xu Tianming, her eyes gleaming with curiosity and excitement.

Xu Tianming thought about it for a moment. It wasn't exactly a secret, and he was going to the inner courtyard soon anyway, so he simply told Bei Bei about it.

Then, Beibei was stunned.

"You mean, the task you were assigned was an assessment task for the inner court?"

Xu Tianming nodded and said, "Yes, recently there's the second-year advancement exam, and I felt it wasn't necessary, so I tried taking the inner court exam. I have to say, the inner court exam is really quite dangerous; I almost died!"

Beibei's lips twitched slightly, and she said irritably:

"You're a first-year student, skipping the sixth level of the outer academy and going straight to the inner academy's assessment—it would be a miracle if it weren't dangerous!"

"Luckily, the academy sent a senior student from the inner court with the cultivation of a Soul Saint to protect us, otherwise something really might have happened!"

As he spoke, a slight glint appeared in his eyes.

He was familiar with Zhang Lexuan, a senior student from the Inner Court.

"Yeah, we were lucky this time. Once I get into the inner courtyard, I'm definitely going to check out what's going on with all the inner courtyard's missions! The intelligence was ridiculously wrong. If all the inner courtyard disciples' missions are like this, they're really going to suffer!"

Xu Tianming said in a deep voice.

He knew that his situation was probably an isolated case, after all, this Bloodhand Evil Soul Master was really too cautious!

The Heavenly Soul Empire's military is unaware of this guy's latest cultivation level, which is probably related to the fact that he deliberately concealed his cultivation level.

Otherwise, the gap in intelligence information wouldn't be so large!

Of course, the Shrek Academy's intelligence system in the inner courtyard should also have some problems.

However, the most crucial issue is that this task passed through Xuanzi's hands.

Xuanzi's hands are indeed dark!

Beibei looked at Xu Tianming with a complicated expression.

"So, you passed the inner court assessment?"

Xu Tianming nodded and smiled, "Yes, it passed. So, logically speaking, you, a first-year student about to enter your second year from the outer academy, should address me as a senior from the inner academy!"

"screw you!"

Beibei said irritably.

But in the end, he still said, "Congratulations! As far as I know, in Shrek Academy's ten thousand-year history, you are the first person to directly enter the Inner Academy from the first year through the Inner Academy assessment! Unprecedented!"

With that, he took a deep breath, quickly returned to his bed, and began meditating cross-legged.

This is truly a shock!

His roommate is still preparing to enter his second year, while Xu Tianming has already gone straight to the inner courtyard!

He really needs to work hard at his cultivation!
