"This...this is the power a three-ring Soul Master should have?!"
Seeing the powerful gorilla with its arms crippled and constantly howling in pain, Jack Ma couldn't help but swear.
"Compared to that 2,500-year-old mighty gorilla, this kid's performance is more like that of a soul beast."
Jing Hongchen nodded slightly, looking surprised.
The combat power of the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire mainly relies on various Soul Tools. It is unheard of for someone like Xu Tianming to have honed his physical body to this extent.
"I say, Dean Jing Hongchen, it's not easy for our Sun Moon Empire's Royal Soul Master Academy to cultivate a soul beast that is 2,500 years old."
Retracting his fists, Xu Tianming also put the longsword he had previously stuck in the ground into his storage soul tool before laughing loudly towards the spectator area:
"I've already defeated this powerful gorilla, and I even smashed its arms to pieces. I don't think I necessarily have to kill it to pass the test, right?"
Since he hadn't killed the powerful gorilla with a single blow, Xu Tianming gave up on the idea of finishing it off.
Just like he wouldn't be so bored as to deliberately stomp on an ant on the ground.
"That's natural, that's natural."
Jing Hongchen nodded repeatedly; Xu Tianming had already demonstrated his strength.
Although their Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy is wealthy, capturing and raising a 2,500-year-old soul beast still requires a considerable amount of resources.
Ignoring the various amazed or admiring glances around him, Xu Tianming calmly left the training ground and walked to the spectator area.
"Dean Jing Hongchen, you won't go back on your promise to me, will you?"
Upon getting closer, Xu Tianming realized that Jing Hongchen's figure was indeed somewhat similar to his toad martial soul.
However, martial soul is another aspect of a soul master, and a soul master's temperament is indeed affected by their own martial soul.
"Hey, who do you take me for?"
Jing Hongchen took two steps forward and patted Xu Tianming on the shoulder.
"Come on, let's talk in my office."
Xu Tianming nodded, greeted Ma Yun, and then followed Jing Hongchen into the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy.
Before, when he was outside the academy, Xu Tianming couldn't see it very clearly.
Now that he has actually entered the academy, Xu Tianming has realized that the scale of the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy is even greater than he had imagined.
As they strolled through the campus, students in school uniforms passed by them from time to time, and many teachers bowed to Jing Hongchen as they walked by.
Without exception, all of these people secretly sized up Xu Tianming with somewhat curious eyes.
This also gave Xu Tianming a real taste of what it means to be a fox borrowing the tiger's power.
Meanwhile, Jing Hongchen was also secretly observing Xu Tianming's expressions and demeanor.
Seeing him looking around with such curiosity, I couldn't help but chuckle to myself.
Even the most talented person is still just an eleven-year-old child!
After passing through the teaching building and a group of buildings whose purpose was unknown, Xu Tianming, led by Jing Hongchen, arrived at a low building with only six floors that looked extremely inconspicuous.
Please sit wherever you like.
The entire sixth floor is Jing Hongchen's office.
After inviting Xu Tianming to sit down in the office, Jing Hongchen personally poured him a glass of water.
"Your mother has already told me about your situation."
Sitting down in the chair behind her desk, Jing Hongchen noticed Xu Tianming's gaze constantly scanning her office, and couldn't help but tease him:
"My office contains all the secrets of the academy and Mingde Hall."
"If you look around carelessly, be careful not to see something you shouldn't."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianming couldn't help but purse his lips.
"Even if I saw something I shouldn't have seen, it was Dean Jing Hongchen who brought me here."
"So, Dean Jing Hongchen, you're actually my accomplice!"
Are you kidding me? Does Jing Hongchen really think of him as an eleven-year-old child?
Did you think that would scare him?
"It's quite a wonder that someone as cautious as Xu Xiang could have a son like you!"
Jing Hongchen smiled and shook his head.
"What, does Dean Jing Hongchen know my father?"
Xu Tianming blinked his eyes and asked with some curiosity.
"I have taught at the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire for many years, and your parents both studied at the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire. How could I not know them?"
At this point, Jing Hongchen looked at Xu Tianming carefully and then shook his head again.
"I just never expected that two people of average talent could have such an exceptionally gifted child."
Generally speaking, a Soul Master's talents and Martial Soul are largely inherited from their parents.
Xu Tianming's parents are a seven-ring Soul Saint and a six-ring Soul Emperor, respectively, and they also inherited two great martial souls from the Sun Moon Empire, so their talents are by no means weak.
However, in the mouth of Jing Hongchen, a titled Douluo and a level nine Soul Master, it became just another story.
"Our Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy has two paths for training students."
As they got down to business, Jing Hongchen's expression gradually became serious.
"One approach is to focus on developing the Soul Master's own abilities while also learning about Soul Guidance Devices."
"Another approach is to train Soul Masters in the manufacture, research and development, and use of Soul Tools."
"I asked your mother for her opinion, but Kong Yue said you are a very opinionated child."
"You have to make all the decisions yourself."
At this point, Jing Hongchen leaned forward slightly, her gaze fixed intently on Xu Tianming.
So what's your choice?
[Ding~ Detected that the host is about to face a difficult choice. God-level choice activated. Please make a choice according to your own wishes!]
[God-tier Option 1: Focus on cultivating the Soul Master's own abilities.]
[Reward: Divine Artifact, Angelic Holy Sword!]
[God-tier Option Two: Choose to cultivate the abilities of a Soul Master.]
[Reward: Artifact - Book of Curses!]
Hearing the mechanical sounds coming from beside him, Xu Tianming couldn't help but swallow.
Amazing!
This was the most generous reward Xu Tianming had received since acquiring the system.
Why was Tang San able to obtain such great authority as soon as he ascended to the God Realm?
Even after repeated interference with the operation of Douluo Continent, no deity has actually stopped it.
Besides inheriting two divine positions, another important reason is that he possesses two super artifacts: the Trident of the Sea God and the Sword of Asura.
The other god-kings, however, each only possessed one super artifact.
Although divine artifacts cannot compare to super divine artifacts, they are definitely considered treasures in the Douluo Continent.
"The Angelic Holy Sword... is probably related to Qian Renxue, the Angel God who fell ten thousand years ago."
"This angelic holy sword might even be related to the angelic divine position."
Xu Tianming's mind raced.
"However, even if one inherits the Angel Godhood, a first-level godhood, one still cannot contend with Tang San, who is already a God King."
"Moreover, for me, this angelic holy sword that cannot be exposed to the light is really a bit of a waste."
