Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 132 Assessment
Some of the other students also knew Lin Xiao, and when they heard the commotion here, they all turned around to look over here.

"Stop looking and continue training!" The old man shouted, drawing the attention of several participating students back.

Lin Xiao looked at the students who continued to fight on the ring and didn't say much.

It has to be said that compared to Shrek Academy, the training methods of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy are a bit too gentle.

Those inner court disciples of Shrek Academy had carried out surveillance missions and fought against evil soul masters with various methods.

The inner court disciples who are able to continue to stay in Shrek Academy have much more combat experience than these students. It may not be easy to defeat them in the fighting spirit competition with such training.

If things continue to develop as they have, perhaps this Soul Fighting Tournament will truly be the most promising one for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. I just don't know if the self-propelled soul guide cannon can change anything.

Lin Xiao's gaze fell on Lin Jiayi standing beside him. He sighed softly and finally turned and left.

Quite a few people had gathered outside Mingde Hall. In addition to those like Lin Xiao who were preparing to take the test, there were also some students who came here to join in the fun.

After all, this is Mingde Hall. Students who can enter here are almost certain to achieve great success in the future. It is common for some people with good backgrounds to come here early and look for one or two soul mentors to serve them.

Shortly after Lin Xiaogang arrived here, the bustling crowd suddenly quieted down. A group of students consciously made way for the road, and the sound of wheelchairs running across stone slabs could be heard slowly.

Lin Xiao's heart moved, he looked up and looked forward, and sure enough, he saw Xu Tianran sitting in a wheelchair slowly passing by the crowd.

I haven't seen him for a while, and the sinister look on his face no longer exists. He actually has the temperament of a prince.

He also raised his head slightly, and his eyes swept across the faces of the students. After seeing Lin Xiao, he paused for a moment, as if he recognized Lin Xiao, and nodded at him.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness." Jing Hongchen walked out of Mingde Hall, accompanied by a teacher. "Your Highness has difficulty traveling, so how can we ask His Royal Highness to visit in person?"

Lin Xiao looked up at the voice and paused slightly when he saw the teacher. He was not unfamiliar with the person. A few years ago, it was the same person who asked Lin Jiayi for leave, putting aside his teaching duties at the academy to seek a breakthrough.

If Lin Xiao's guess was correct, it was this teacher who bought the locust wood core, asked him to get other metals from Shangguan Qing, and then accidentally smelted the Star Soul Ingot.

Now that he is able to follow Jing Hongchen and meet Xu Tianran, I'm afraid he has successfully broken through to the ninth-level soul engineer.

"No need to be so polite, Hall Master." Xu Tianran laughed, as if he didn't care about his injuries at all. "Mingde Hall is the gathering place of all elite soul masters. It is related to the entire Sun Moon Empire. My father also attaches great importance to it. It is only natural for me to come here in person."

Jing Hongchen raised his hand and pointed towards the interior of Mingde Hall. "Since that's the case, Your Highness, I'll have to trouble you to join me in examining these useless students."

"Master, you are too polite. I think all of you are outstanding people. How can you say that some of you are not capable?" Xu Tianran also raised his hand. "Master, please come in."

Only after the two figures disappeared did the teacher who had been following Jing Hongchen step forward. "Next, all students, please enter the Mingde Hall in an orderly manner to participate in the assessment." The teacher's gaze swept over all the students. "Cherish this assessment. For some, this may be the only opportunity in their lives to enter the Mingde Hall."

Although his words were a bit impolite, they were also true for the students here, especially some students who looked older, whose expressions changed a little.

Unlike most students, Lin Xiao was not unfamiliar with the interior of Mingde Hall. He did not look around like others, but instead fixed his eyes on the teacher next to him.

His spirit was superior to that of an ordinary person, and he could sense that the teacher seemed to have an old injury that had not healed. Although his expression did not change much, he could sense a strange breath wrapped around him with every breath, as if there was an unconcealable chill.

Seeing the teacher looking over, Lin Xiao retracted his gaze, but his mind was already full of thoughts. Ninth-level Soul Instructor, the breakthrough while traveling, the chill on his body, and the effects of the locust wood core, he already had many theories in mind.

The elevator under my feet suddenly stopped, and there was a slight tremor. After passing through the long corridor, I saw those familiar laboratory tables in front of me, but there were no other soul engineers here today. There were only various materials neatly arranged on the tables.

"This is your examination room." The teacher's deep voice sounded, "Before sunset, you need to use the materials here to complete a soul guide. The requirement is that it must be a level five soul guide or above."

"Exceeding the time limit or insufficient soul guide device level will be considered a failure. In addition, meeting the basic requirements does not mean a success. Mingde Hall is a place for research and development of soul guide devices. I hope you can show me your knowledge and understanding of soul guide devices."

Although the words were roundabout, Lin Xiao could probably understand the meaning. The soul guide device produced must not only meet the standards, but also demonstrate the soul guide's unique understanding.

It's no wonder that Lin Jiayi is so confident in himself. With his soul power, it is not difficult to make a fifth-level soul guide device. As long as he can make a self-propelled soul guide cannon, passing the assessment will naturally not be a problem.

"Finally, regardless of whether you pass the assessment or not, you cannot take the soul guides you create out of Mingde Hall."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao raised his head slightly and glanced at the teacher, then immediately understood.

No wonder Jing Hongchen was even willing to set aside one day in Mingde Hall for the assessment. This was not only an assessment, but also an opportunity to collect the ideas of all the students participating in the assessment.

I don’t know how many years have passed since Mingde Hall was founded. If there is an assessment every year and so many students take part in the assessment every year, then I don’t know how many inspirations of outstanding soul mentors have been collected here.

These wild and unconventional ideas will surely lead to continuous breakthroughs in Mingde Hall's soul guidance technology. It's no exaggeration to call this place the most technologically advanced place for soul guidance in the entire Douluo Continent.

"Is everything clear?"

The words in his ear interrupted Lin Xiao's thoughts. Seeing that all the students were almost ready, the teacher nodded slightly.

"Now, the assessment timer begins."

As the voice fell, a sound of metal clashing was heard immediately, and the students taking the test took out their carving knives and began to engrave the soul guide array.
