The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Of course, there are age restrictions. If you haven't become a Level 3 Soul Master by the age of 18, you'll have to leave and fend for yourself. But if you can meet that requirement, you can stay until you're 25. If you become a Level 5 Soul Master before the age of 25, you'll be qualified to participate in the Mingde Hall's assessment.

This is also why the number of students below the third grade is the largest. For example, there are thirty-two classes in the first grade, with forty students in each class, totaling more than a thousand people. The higher the grade, the fewer students there are.

By the sixth grade, the number of students has dwindled even further, often to only a few dozen. Sixth-grade students are no longer divided into classes; instead, they train and learn under their own individual mentors.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Lin Jiayi clapped his hands.

"Gentlemen, come with me. After the physical tests, you can go back and rest. Each dormitory building has its own canteen, which is open all day. If you need to eat, you can choose to go there."

Xu Zihuang had the attention of Yan Shaozhe and Fan Yu, and Jing Hongchen promised that he could directly enter Mingde Hall to study.

Although Xu Zihuang himself didn't care about these things, everyone had a vague feeling that he was the leader.

The inner disciples of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department weren't fools. Befriending a genius of this caliber would greatly benefit their future development. Moreover, Yu Tianhuang was also a Level 5 Soul Guidance Master, which lessened their initial resistance. Strength above all else is the eternal truth of the Douluo Continent.

Lick it if you want, don't hesitate.

Even Ye Xiaosheng, who had always wanted to take the lead, remained silent. After all, He Caitou, a level six soul master, seemed to have a very close relationship with Yu Tianhuang. He certainly wouldn't go looking for trouble.

Left with no other choice, Xu Zihuang had to walk at the front with He Caitou.

Lin Jiayi led everyone to a spacious room at the far east end of the first floor of the first-grade teaching building, with the words "Physical Testing Room" written above the door.

The moment everyone stepped into the room, the soul-guiding lamps on the ceiling lit up on their own.

Soft soul-guided light shone down, revealing many large soul-guided devices in the room.

These soul tools were not unfamiliar to Xu Zihuang and He Caitou. In their childhood, they often used these soul tools to monitor their physical condition so that they could nurture their bodies with rare and precious materials more suitable for their current physical condition. Moreover, they could also find the most suitable soul beasts in terms of age and attributes to use as soul rings based on their body's limits.

However, these things were quite novel to Ye Xiaosheng and his group.

Lin Jiayi turned to face the crowd and said, "This is our academy's physical testing room. Don't be nervous, these soul conduction testing devices won't harm your bodies. Let's get started now, who would like to go first?"

As he spoke, Lin Jiayi pointed to a cylindrical instrument. The entire instrument was about 2.5 meters tall, with a blue crystal column at the back and a circular platform at the front.

Xu Zihuang, who was standing at the very front, readily stepped onto the circular platform.

A teacher following behind Lin Jiayi understood and stepped forward, placing his palm on a palm-shaped indentation. At the same time, another teacher immediately took out a notebook and pen, ready to take notes at any time.

"It's starting. Remember to relax your whole body," the teacher reminded him, then channeled his soul power into it. A fan-shaped white light shone from the top of the soul conductor detector, carefully scanning Xu Zihuang's body from top to bottom.

Meanwhile, the teacher on the other side had already started taking notes and was announcing what they had recorded.

"Physical strength, level 85; physical resilience, level 80; soul power fluctuation, level 54; height, 1.85 meters; weight, 120 kilograms; left arm length...; bone age, 14 and a half years old..."

The teacher who subconsciously recorded and recited this information hadn't even reacted yet, but everyone present, including He Caitou, was completely stunned. Only the teacher's voice echoed in the entire physical testing room.

"Stop, stop, stop! Are you sure you're not mistaken?!" Lin Jiayi shouted, his face full of disbelief.

What the hell?

He could barely accept a level 54 soul power at fourteen. His siblings, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, both broke through to Soul King at that age. He could understand why the geniuses from Shrek Academy were somewhat stronger than Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

But what are these level 85 physical strength and level 80 physical resilience?

Doesn't this mean that this little guy can absorb a 100,000-year-old spirit ring in his next life? You know, even many level nine spirit masters with the cultivation of Title Douluo at their Sun Moon Royal Spirit Master Academy may not have such physical strength.

And that outrageous weight of 120 kilograms. This young man looks quite lean, how could he be so heavy?

It must be that this Soul Conductor detector is malfunctioning.

As soon as Lin Jiayi finished speaking, the Soul Conductor detector suddenly emitted a strange sound.

"Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip..."

The teacher in charge of taking notes then seemed to wake up from a dream, staring at Xu Zihuang in disbelief at the information recorded in the notebook.

"The data is malfunctioning; the Soul Conductor detector is broken. Director Lin, this little guy is a monster!"

Xu Zihuang calmly met Lin Jiayi's gaze, completely unsurprised by the information he presented. His physical strength was simply abnormal. As for his terrifying weight, it was purely due to the fact that the density of his bones and muscles was far greater than that of an average person.

Lin Jiayi swallowed.

"Young man, the Soul Conductor detector might have malfunctioned just now. Why don't you test it again?"

Xu Zihuang said calmly, "Director Lin, wasn't the original intention of this physical test to tailor-make the school uniforms for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for us? I think you all know the data needed. My physical condition is rather special, and any further testing will only yield the same results."

"Uh..." Lin Jiayi paused for a moment, then seemed to suddenly realize something. Although there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes, he quickly regained his composure.

The Soul King at the age of fourteen.

It seems this little guy is the Yu Tianhuang who defeated Xiao and Meng.

Lin Jiayi said apologetically, "I'm sorry, classmate, I was just too surprised. As expected of a top student from Shrek Academy. Let's continue the test."

Next up was He Caitou.

He Caitou's unusual skin tone also caught the attention of Lin Jiayi and the others, but after the shock Xu Zihuang had caused earlier, they were still immersed in that shock and didn't have the leisure to investigate further.

Dark skin does not necessarily mean one is a member of the royal family or a noble family of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Physical Strength: Level 60; Physical Resilience: Level 64; Soul Power: Level 51; Height: 2.02 meters; Weight: 110 kilograms; Torso Soul Bone Bones: Additional. Overall Rating..."

He Caitou's physical stats still far exceed those of other Soul Masters of the same level, but fortunately they are within Lin Jiayi's acceptable range.

Lin Jiayi stared intently at He Caitou. Besides Yu Tianhuang, this student was definitely someone else he needed to pay extra attention to. Soul King-level soul power, a sixth-level soul master, and seventeen years old—these three attributes were already quite impressive.

After this test, the way Ye Xiaosheng and the others looked at Xu Zihuang and He Caitou changed once again.

However, the data from their subsequent tests was significantly inferior.

Lin Jiayi said, "Alright, it's getting late. We still have two tests left, let's speed things up. The second test is about your maximum strength."

The Soul Guidance Power Testing Device is significantly larger than the previous one. The most important feature is the central striking area covered in leather. The testing method is simple: just throw a punch with all your might. The evaluation result is also measured by Soul Power level.

Xu Zihuang and He Caitou exchanged a glance, then Xu Zihuang got up and walked to the Soul Guidance Power Testing Device.

His movement instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

Xu Zihuang took a deep breath to calm himself. Then, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he threw a punch with a graceful motion.

That's right, it's effortless, as if you didn't use any force at all.

But this punch generated a powerful shockwave throughout the room.

"boom--"

A tremendous tremor resounded, shaking the entire room. Then, to everyone's astonishment, the incredibly heavy soul-guided power testing device was sent flying dozens of meters by Xu Zihuang's punch, crashing heavily into the wall.

A faint golden light shimmered on the wall, forming a soul power shield. This prevented the wall from shattering under the impact of a tremendous force.

With a loud crash, the massive soul-guided power testing device fell from the wall, and the crystal screen displaying the test results shattered into dust.

The first teacher to react quickly went to check the soul-guiding power testing device. Fortunately, the device was made of sturdy materials and there were no major problems. However, it couldn't be repaired in the short term.

Lin Jiayi was completely bewildered, his eyes glazed over, listening to the teacher's report with a blank mind. This soul-guided power testing device could withstand a full-force attack from a level 70 soul master without using their martial soul amplification, and that was based on a strength-type level 70 soul master.

Yet, he was sent flying by Yu Tianhuang's single punch. In that instant, an absurd thought suddenly arose in his mind: the data from Yu Tianhuang's soul conductor detector was entirely correct.

Such physical strength is simply beyond the realm of reason.

He Caitou patted his big bald head with a simple and honest expression.

"Director Lin, do you think we need to continue testing?"

"What the hell are you testing!" Lin Jiayi couldn't help but swear as he came to his senses. Realizing something was amiss, he coughed lightly a few times.

"Alright, that's all for today's test. We can make it up next time. The teachers will take you to your dormitories later. We hope you'll enjoy yourselves here for the next two and a half years."

Xu Zihuang and the others were led away by the teachers of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Lin Jiayi gave Xu Zihuang a deep look before heading towards Mingde Hall.

Chapter 252 The Secret of the Golden Eye Martial Soul and Jing Hongchen's Attraction

Jing Hongchen sat quietly in the spacious hall of Mingde Hall, closing her eyes to rest.

Seeing that Lin Jiayi had returned to Mingde Hall so quickly, he opened and closed his eyes, frowned and asked.

"What happened?"

"Master, that Yu Tianhuang from Shrek Academy is a monster." Lin Jiayi calmed his breathing.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy indeed covered a vast area. Even with his eight-ring Soul Douluo cultivation, it took him nearly a quarter of an hour to reach Mingde Hall. His slightly overweight physique made his breathing inevitably rapid.

This is also the norm for Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire. Using drugs to aid their cultivation, their physical attributes, Soul Power quality, and mental strength are far inferior to those of traditional Soul Masters from the original three Douluo Empires.

Lin Jiayi dared not delay and reported Yu Tianhuang's physical test results to Jing Hongchen in their entirety.

"During Yu Tianhuang's physical test, the data became distorted. I personally speculate that he most likely possesses external soul bones, and at least three of them. Judging from his subsequent strength test, he should also have a top-grade strength attribute soul bone attached to his right arm. As for the Soul Douluo level physical strength and resilience, that's probably inaccurate. Isn't Yu Tianhuang a spirit attribute soul master? Hall Master, do you think it's possible that he fused with a top-grade spirit attribute head soul bone, and deliberately interfered with the physical test's soul tool detection by using the head soul bone's skill? Spiritual power can interfere with our soul tools."

After careful consideration along the way, he arrived at this conclusion, which best aligns with conventional understanding.

He simply couldn't imagine that a Soul Master could possess physical attributes comparable to a Soul Douluo while only having the cultivation level of a Soul King.

Jing Hongchen listened calmly to Lin Jiayi's story and nodded in satisfaction.

“Jiayi, I trust you with the affairs of the academy. Your speculation is also quite reasonable. With Shrek Academy’s resources, it is more than capable of equipping him with such a soul bone. However, your vision is still too limited.”

Lin Jiayi lowered his head respectfully.

"Please enlighten me, Master."

“I know Yu Tianhuang’s mindset very well. He wouldn’t do such a thing. In fact, he didn’t intend to keep a low profile when he came to our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. The soul conductor detector might have malfunctioned, but that should be due to his overwhelming mental power.” Jing Hongchen narrowed his small, bright eyes, revealing undisguised admiration.

"Tell me about the other people."

"Yes, Master." Lin Jiayi responded and continued, "Besides Yu Tianhuang, the most outstanding student is He Caitou. His martial soul is a cigar, and although he is a food-type soul master, he has reached the physical qualities of a Soul Emperor. Moreover, he is a level six soul master at only seventeen years old. As for the remaining eight students, they can only be described as average."

After a moment of silence, Jing Hongchen said, "Keep an eye on He Caitou and have someone monitor his every move, especially during class. As for Yu Tianhuang, I promised him beforehand that he could enter Mingde Hall to study at any time, and someone will keep an eye on him. As long as it doesn't involve the core knowledge of Mingde Hall, let him study as he pleases."

Although he was somewhat surprised that Yu Tianhuang was a level 5 Soul Master, in his opinion, He Caitou, who became a level 6 Soul Master at the age of seventeen, was more threatening.

While a level 5 Soul Master and a level 6 Soul Master may seem like they're only one level apart, the difficulty of advancing increases exponentially. With He Caitou's talent, given time, he could even become a top student at their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, qualifying for admission to the Mingde Hall without examination.

"Master, should we..." Lin Jiayi asked tentatively during the teaching session.

Jing Hongchen shook his head.

"There's no need. Just continue as usual. Shrek Academy is just an academy, while we are the research institute of the Sun Moon Empire. What can ten of them do? Besides, they have no way of accessing our core secrets."

"Also, Jiayi, bring Yu Tianhuang to my place."

……

The dormitory area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is located behind the teaching area, and it is much larger than that of Shrek Academy. This is clearly marked on the map Lin Jiayi distributed to everyone.

The higher the grade level, the better the dormitory conditions. Even though the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has a relatively relaxed teaching style, it still adheres to the principle of rewarding the most capable.
