Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 15 License (Newbie asking for votes!!! TvT)

At this moment, Ye Wen also noticed Xiao Lie's arrival. He didn't feel any particular liking or dislike for this nobleman's son, so he asked him casually.

"What's up?"

Xiao Lie nervously swallowed. Notting's school uniform was just a simple cloak that didn't show off the students' physiques. Ye Wen's bare upper body, with its rock-solid muscles, exuded a powerful beauty. Combined with the 800-pound barbell on the ground, it was incredibly intimidating.

But having already made up his mind, Xiao Lie bowed deeply and spoke loudly.

"Boss, I've reformed. I want you to teach me how to cultivate; I want to become a strong person too!"

Ye Wen frowned slightly and said calmly.

"If you want to ask about cultivation, you should ask your teachers at school, not me. After all, I'm just a mere level eleven Soul Master."

"No, boss, what I want is not the teaching of those mediocre teachers at the academy. I want to cultivate at a high speed like you, because I am a genius with innate soul power level four, just like you. Those teachers can't teach me anything. I want to learn from your experience and become stronger faster."

The other students in Dormitory 3 who were still training also stopped their cultivation when they saw Xiao Lie arrive.

A large part of the reason they came here to cultivate was because they were inspired by Ye Wen, who made them truly understand that Soul Master cultivation is not only about cultivating Soul Power, but also about cultivating the physical body. Only in this way can one truly become stronger. Otherwise, relying solely on a Soul Skill will only make one a third-rate Soul Master.

So initially, they relied on imitating Ye Wen's training methods to cultivate. Seeing that Ye Wen didn't mind their copying, they gradually became bolder. However, looking at their leader's increasingly difficult physical training, they fell silent. Perhaps this was the difference between geniuses and ordinary people.

Even so, they did not acknowledge that Xiao Lie was a genius comparable to their leader.

On one hand, Ye Wen had long held considerable prestige; on the other hand, although Ye Wen wouldn't directly teach them cultivation, he would occasionally offer them pointers. Those pointers, which were insignificant to Ye Wen, were guiding lights on their path to becoming Soul Masters—this was a matter of mutual respect.

But given his status, they didn't dare say anything and just stared coldly at Xiao Lie. The boss's position was not to be challenged.

After listening to Xiao Lie's words, Ye Wen remained silent for a while, feeling helpless.

"A genius like me? But my innate level four soul power is just an act."

Never mind, that's not the point. The point is whether I should teach him cultivation or not. Judging from his expression, he's like a stubborn leech that I can't get rid of.

Although he's the city lord's illegitimate son, he should still carry some weight. Hmm~

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Ye Wencai slowly spoke.

"The techniques of Soul Master cultivation are closely guarded family secrets, whether you're a commoner or a noble. Why should I teach you for no reason?"

The part-time students standing nearby nodded in agreement, showing their strong support for their leader's statement.

As a member of a noble family, Xiao Lie was obviously aware of this rule in the Soul Master world, but he had acted impulsively and forgotten it. Now that Ye Wen had brought it to his senses, he looked somewhat embarrassed, but his inner determination prevented him from giving up. He said in a deep voice.

"What do you need? If it's within my power, I'll get it for you. I'll risk my life if you're willing to teach me how to become stronger."

Seeing that Xiao Lie was completely different from the one he had been before, he knew that the young man had undergone a complete transformation, so he nodded and continued.

"I wouldn't kill you, but I need you to agree to one condition."

"What are the conditions?"

"Go and get a permit from your father to establish a junior academy. That's all you need; I'll raise the land and other necessities myself. If you can't even handle this, it'll be difficult for me to teach you cultivation."

"Okay, no problem."

Xiao Lie breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this request.

The establishment permit for a junior soul master academy is difficult for commoner soul masters to obtain, but for nobles, it can be obtained simply by applying.

However, nobles generally don't apply for it, because in their eyes, the Junior Soul Master Academy is a thankless and laborious endeavor.

Not only does it pay less than other industries, but it also involves dealing with the troubles caused by other noble children. If not handled properly, leaning towards the nobles will make them hostile to commoner soul masters, while leaning towards the commoners will make them ostracized by the nobles. So in the end, they find themselves pleasing neither side and can only give up.

Therefore, 99% of the primary schools on the mainland are now officially established by the state, so nobles don't dare to go too far, and commoners can also embark on the path of Soul Masters as part-time students.

However, the most crucial factor is the Spirit Hall's suppression of the two great empires. After all, it's hard to say whether the two great empires have enough Title Douluos to fill a handful.

It would be a miracle if the few soul masters from the aristocratic faction could hold off the Spirit Hall. Whether the Spirit Hall wants to unify the continent at this time is unknown. If it does, the reason it hasn't acted is because the empire has a large number of low-level soul masters, and even if a Title Douluo has amazing combat power, their soul power is still limited.

This resulted in a terrifying balance in the Douluo Continent version.

Because of this, the junior soul master academies at the bottom level, though inconspicuous, are the foundation of the two great empires, and the review process for them is the easiest. However, although the two great empires rely on the power of commoner soul masters, their base is still the aristocracy, so having a noble connection is still necessary to qualify for the establishment of a junior academy.

Ye Wen only wanted a permit, not any construction resources. Xiao Lie was confident he could obtain the permit from his father, the city lord.

As Ye Wen had predicted, he unsurprisingly obtained the license to establish the junior college.

Xiao Lie also began to learn about Soul Master cultivation from Ye Wen's side. Although Ye Wen held back some things, he still devised a cultivation plan for Xiao Lie based on his situation.

He had Xiao Lie acquire a litter of wolf cubs, raise them, and build a rudimentary simulated cultivation environment.

Although it was far inferior to what was taught in a professional setting, it greatly benefited Xiao Lie. Furthermore, by following Ye Wen's body-training practice, his physical fitness improved rapidly, and his soul power cultivation had reached level 15 by the time he graduated.

Furthermore, Ye Wen developed a combat method for Xiao Lie based on the characteristics of his martial soul.

In terms of combat power, Xiao Lie has also been rising steadily.

Xiao Lie even shamelessly claimed that he could beat ten of himself in his current form.

However, the truth eventually came out, and Xiao Lie's rapid progress was discovered by the city lord's wife, who demanded that he graduate and go to the intermediate academy for further training, clearly trying to obstruct his cultivation path.
