Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 122 Mirror Red Dust's Philosophy (Please Subscribe!!!)
Jing Hongchen never expected to be rejected so directly.

"Ahem, it's okay if you don't want to become an apprentice."

He was actually prepared to be rejected.

Within the Sun Moon Empire, the descendants of any ninth-level Soul Master rarely take Jing Hongchen as their master, not because of his bad character, but because of his position.

To be more precise, the root cause lies in his philosophy: he only wanted to develop Mingdetang and didn't care who became emperor, but he didn't support anyone.

The key point is that Mingdetang has now reached its peak and can even influence the succession of imperial power. Crown Prince Xu Tianran has tried to win him over many times in the struggle, but he has refused.

They can influence, but they don't support; they just stand by and act as a threat.

For younger generations to become his disciples, the head of Mingde Hall, also means they will be drawn into the storms he must weather.

For families with ninth-level Soul Masters, there's no such thing as instant advancement, so there's no need to curry favor with Jing Hongchen. At this time, it's best to remain stable, since with frequent wars, the front lines need more unlucky ones.

The Su family doesn't have any level nine soul masters, but Jing Hongchen is aware of Su Can's situation, and the chances of him succeeding are extremely high.

Su Can has a good understanding of soul tools, but he lacks soul power cultivation. He hasn't found a way to break through his soul power barrier, and he doesn't even know how to temporarily bring his soul power to the required level.

With the conditions met, Su Can was already a near-ninth-level Soul Master in Jing Hongchen's eyes.

"You are already a Level 4 Soul Master. You can choose to study the theory in the academy. If you want to study in Mingde Hall at any time, you can apply directly. That is where Soul Masters should go."

"Thank you very much, Dean." Su Ming said earnestly.

According to his understanding, the conditions for joining Mingde Hall are very strict. Direct students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy must reach the standard of a Level 5 Soul Master before the age of 25 in order to apply for the assessment. Only those who pass the assessment can officially join Mingde Hall.

It's even harder for outside Soul Masters to enter Mingde Hall for training. They need to reach at least level six as Soul Masters and undergo an assessment. Even if they pass the assessment, their entry into Mingde Hall is only temporary, and they can only become permanent members based on their performance.

Su Ming is only at level four, yet Jing Hongchen said he could apply directly, which clearly indicates that he used some special privileges.

“No need, this is the treatment your talent deserves.” Jing Hongchen waved his hand and said, “I actually hope you improve as quickly as possible.”

"Competition creates pressure. Lao Gao will help you with the formalities for the Sun and Moon Royal Team in a bit. After that, the training camp will start in a few days. I need your help with some things."

help?

Su Ming was puzzled.

“My grandson Xiao Hongchen has been at the top all these years. I think you should do your best to put some pressure on him.”

Su Ming suddenly realized.

The pressure.

He is good at this.

"Dean, I will try my best to perform well."

After seeing Su Ming off, Jing Hongchen sat behind her desk, still deep in thought.

"I don't know how much pressure this will put on Xiao. Pressure is motivation, and what Xiao is lacking right now is motivation."

Although Jing Hongchen reduced his guidance to Xiao Hongchen from level three onwards, he still provided Xiao Hongchen with everything he needed, and his manipulation never stopped. Xiao Hongchen continued to advance on the purest path of a Soul Master, making him a true research-oriented Soul Master.

He wasn't worried that Xiao Hongchen would be too devastated by the blow.

Thoroughly study the core magic array of a level, and then advance to the next level. This is the purest Soul Master system, but also the most difficult path to advancement, requiring understanding.

If it were a mindless replication, Xiao Hongchen's talent would actually allow him to do it even faster, and those records could be improved even further.

"Let's compete. Only through competition can we drive the development of the Soul Guidance field."

Jing Hongchen slowly lay down on the chair, swaying gently.

Since taking office at Mingdetang, he has always aimed to promote competition, believing that the more competitive the competition, the more potential can be stimulated.

In the blink of an eye, Su Ming had been a member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for three days. "The training location for the Sun Moon Royal Team is directly in an area within the Mingde Hall."

Su Ming found Director Gao, who led him to the team's training location.

"The three-month vacation is over. This training camp is mainly to test the changes in the team members. You have just joined the team, so try your best to show yourself. The better you perform, the better you will be treated. Although our team has not yet joined Mingdetang, you should be able to see from the surroundings that joining the team is not much different from joining Mingdetang."

"The criteria for determining your treatment are linked to your performance, and everything follows the standards of Mingde Hall. In addition, after the conclusion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Master Competition, you will all be able to directly enter Mingde Hall."

"For you, all that's missing now is a title."

Su Ming looked puzzled.

"Director Gao, the dean told me before that I could apply for an assessment, and if I passed the assessment, I could join Mingdetang. But isn't my current situation almost the same as joining Mingdetang?"

"You are currently in the training phase, so your research questions are generally not considered. Joining Mingde Hall is also for learning, and the required rare metal quotas and research materials are all in accordance with Mingde Hall standards. Of course, if you want to participate in Mingde Hall's research projects, or establish your own projects to apply for funding, you must formally join Mingde Hall."

"Oh~"

Su Ming understood.

To put it bluntly, the esports team is just a scam for kids.

It's said that all that's missing is a title, but the key is the additional benefits that title can bring.

How much funding can a project receive?

Anyway, it's much more than what an individual could get.

The training ground was very large, about the size of a football field. Director Gao was used to arriving at the exact time, so Su Ming didn't need to wait to see all the current members of the Sun Moon Royal Team.

The team is divided into regular players and substitute players. The regular players are seven players who are between sixteen and twenty years old at the time of this Soul Fighting Tournament, while the substitute players are under fifteen years old.

"Ma Rulong!"

"arrive."

As Director Gao finished speaking, a male student in the team stood up.

"This is our new member, Su Ming. Please introduce our team to him."

"Yes."

Ma Rulong came to Su Ming's side. He was tall and burly, with short hair, bright eyes that shone with a special brilliance, and muscles all over his body that gave people a sense of power.

"Ma Rulong, Martial Soul Big-Headed Spirit Ape, Soul Power Level 57, Level 6 Soul Master."

He first introduced himself, and then pointed to each team member and introduced them.

Su Ming listened attentively to his introductions, focusing on Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

"."

"Xiao Hongchen, Martial Soul: Three-Legged Golden Toad, Soul Power: Level 46, Level 4 Soul Master".

"Dream of the Mortal World, Martial Soul: Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad, Soul Power: Level 48, Level 4 Soul Master".

"."

There are only five substitute players in total, or six if you include Su Ming.

After Ma Rulong finished his introduction, he looked at Su Ming.

Su Ming understood that it was his turn.

　I urgently need the tonic; there's another chapter still in progress.
