Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 257 Do you know how much improvement you can get in three years? (Please subscribe!!!)
Each martial soul has its own advantages. The White Tiger martial soul enhances the body, which can also strengthen the soul master's body when cultivating soul power.

This enhancement is a different area of ​​enhancement from the physical body's enhancement through the cultivation of the martial soul.

The former is external enhancement, where soul power integrates into the body and naturally transforms it, while the enhancement of the physical body is more like an internal improvement, an enhancement and exploration of one's foundation.

Besides these two, there are various True Dragon Martial Souls. They are called bloodline power, but they are actually the effect of condensing blood and qi. The more blood and qi are condensed, the stronger the Soul Master's body will be.

"Sigh, cultivation has suddenly become more difficult."

In theory, Su Ming can now enhance all his attributes and cultivate without any flaws.

However, this is too mentally taxing and will greatly increase the burden on his cultivation.

Of course, it's not impossible, since his target isn't the Soul Masters on Douluo Continent, but rather the Abyss Saint King and Tang San.

The Abyss Saint Lord is an obstacle that Su Ming in Douluo Continent III needs to face. Only by killing him in the Douluo Continent II, where he cannot become a god, can he truly confront Tang San.

The power of the God-King is beyond doubt.

Don't be fooled by Tang San's shamelessness and lack of scruples; he is a genuine God King, and when he was having fun with cultivators from lower planes, he was only using the power of the Sea God, not the power of the Asura God.

Do you really think the Sea God is Tang San at his peak? He wouldn't even know how he died.

Moreover, separated by the barriers of the God Realm and the lower plane, as well as the endless dimensional limitations, Su Ming was unable to withstand Tang San's power every time he exerted it, which was enough to demonstrate the power of the God King.

Without Electrolux, Su Ming would never have achieved such good development.

As Su Ming was pondering, a knock came at the door.

He got up and opened the door.

"Tang Wulin?"

Su Ming looked at Tang Wulin with a puzzled expression, not understanding why this kid had come to find him.

"Senior Brother Su Ming, I would like to ask for your help."

Help?

What kind of assistance?
Su Ming looked puzzled.

Although he was at Shrek Academy, he basically did not participate in Shrek's teaching. He simply changed his location to cultivate, and at most discussed forging with Feng Wuyu.

His goal in coming here was very clear: to get close to the Golden Tree.

“We’re going to have a challenge match with the third-year students, so I’d like to invite you, Senior Brother Su Ming, to join us.”

"Ok?"

A thoughtful look flashed in Su Ming's eyes.

Isn't the challenge scheduled for next year?

The storyline during the Douluo Continent III era was very simple, consisting of various competitions and battles. Among them, the competitions within Shrek Academy mainly included class monitor elections, exchange matches between first and second-year students, and challenge matches between first, second, and third-year students.

The first two competitions were completed before Su Ming arrived, and this challenge should have been held next year.

"First graders challenging third graders? Are you out of your minds?"

Although Su Ming was thinking, he did not remain silent.

Tang Wulin looked embarrassed upon hearing this.

"We were a bit too high-profile recently," he said. "But it's not a battle between first-year students and third-year students; it's a joint challenge between first and second-year students and third-year students."

"Heh, even a joint battle would be tough." Su Ming sneered, "A grade difference is three years. Do you know how much improvement can be achieved in three years?"

Tang Wulin remained silent.

He spent three years cultivating at Donghai Academy.

He was certain that his improvement in those three years was equivalent to that of an ordinary Soul Master over ten years or even longer.

And that was just Class Zero, a class led by Wu Changkong, a student who graduated from Shrek Academy.

How much improvement can the geniuses at Shrek Academy make in three years?

"Don't assume that just because the gap between the first and second grades isn't big, the gap between the second and third grades won't be big either," Su Ming said quietly. "The three years of the second grade are the three years to prepare for the inner academy. If you want to join the inner academy, you need to complete the production of at least several pieces of battle armor in these three years. Once you break through to the Soul King level in the third grade, you can become a true one-word battle armor master."

The improvement that battle armor brings to a Soul Master is self-evident. "Senior brother, I know this, so we also investigated. No one in the third year has broken through to Soul King yet, so there is no one with a complete one-word battle armor."

Su Ming adopted a dismissive attitude.

"I'm not interested in challenges that require me to be older than my grade level."

Winning the challenge is meaningless.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin seemed to have been prepared and said, "Senior brother, this challenge is a comprehensive challenge. We can let you participate in the forging competition."

Su Ming's ears twitched.

Seeing that Su Ming was truly moved, Tang Wulin confirmed what Old Tang had said—Su Ming liked to show off in front of others!
"Moreover, combat is the source of a Soul Master's progress. Senior Brother, you are in seclusion and have very few opportunities to fight, which is not good."

He pressed his advantage, continuing to tell Su Ming about the benefits of participating in this challenge.

“There’s a Wu Siduo in our class. She has twin martial souls and also possesses a self-fusion martial soul skill. Senior brother, you can spar with her. I feel that she is the closest to you in terms of soul master talent.”

Su Ming didn't pay much attention to what Tang Wulin said after that.

The timing of this challenge was actually excellent.

He had just started thinking about collecting powerful martial souls when this challenge was presented to him.

Of the three eras, the martial souls of this era are undoubtedly the best. Without the suppression of the God Realm, and with the continuous improvement of battle armor over the past ten thousand years, top-tier martial souls are now everywhere in the world of soul masters, and high-level martial souls are as common as dogs.

Under normal circumstances, if the Abyss hadn't been lurking in the shadows, Douluo Star would have already advanced to a god-level plane on its own.

In this era, the most outstanding martial souls naturally reside at Shrek Academy.

The challenge has come at just the right time!
When is the match?

"A month later."

There's still a month to prepare?

"You can train with us for the next month, senior."

"There's no need for training; I have plenty of practical experience."

Su Ming waved his hand.

"Uh, senior brother, you also need to show your strength so that we can better arrange the battle."

Tang Wulin's words were pointed.

"Tomorrow, everyone will gather at Training Ground No. 3. Remember to come then, Senior Brother."

He left as soon as he finished speaking.

Su Ming remained where he was, as if pondering Tang Wulin's words.

He appeared to be talking to Tang Wulin, but in reality, he was somewhat absent-minded, his mind elsewhere.

"Is Old Tang awake?"

He had a feeling that he had just been spied on.

It's more reasonable that Tang Wulin would know that Old Tang is awake and that he likes to show off in front of others.

However, he knew I liked to perform miracles in front of others, so he must have known that I was doing it to forge a faith.

Knowing that I have a faith in forging, why do you still keep spying on my faith?
"Was the belief in the sea god not well concealed? Or did he discover the belief in the spirits?"

Su Ming closed the door and checked his condition.

“That doesn’t make sense. I consulted Elder Yi and he told me to keep my faith hidden. Besides, Old Tang’s power is limited, so he shouldn’t waste his energy on investigating me.”

Tang Wulin returned to his dormitory.

Old Tang also had many questions about the world inside him.

"Strange, how could a chosen one appear at this time? It's understandable if they are chosen ones of a different plane, but why does Su Ming still have a tendency to gather fortune?"
