Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 40 First Meeting with Dai Mubai

At the dining table, the three of them ordered a table full of delicious food.

Zhang Fan said to Lin Yizhang, "Yizhang, this is my junior, a freshman at Shrek Academy this year."

His name is Dai Mubai, his martial soul is the White Tiger, and he is currently a level 27 Great Soul Master.

Then he introduced Lin Yizhang to Dai Mubai, saying, "This is my good brother, Lin Yizhang. He used to be an auditor at Shrek Academy for two years."

Lin Yizhang nodded to Dai Mubai and said, "Hello. Since you are Zhang Fan's junior, I will call you Mubai. You don't mind, do you?"

Dai Mubai said, "I don't mind. Then I'll call you Brother Zhang from now on."

The three of them started eating and chatting.

After the three toasted each other, Zhang Fan asked, "Yi Zhang, did you come back to find me?"

"Yes, didn't we make a promise two years ago to explore the continent together?"

"Now that you're about to graduate, I've come to find you," Lin Yizhang said.

Zhang Fan said happily, "Haha, great! I was just wondering what to do after graduation."

Traveling across the continent with you would also be a great option.

Dai Mubai said, "Traveling across the continent will involve many dangers."

"Fan-ge, Zhang-ge, you'd better be careful if you plan to travel across the mainland."

Lin Yizhang said, "Traveling across the mainland is indeed dangerous, but how can we be content without exploring it?"

The mainland is so big, I want to go and see it.

My dream is to travel throughout the entire Douluo Continent in the future.

When I'm strong enough, I'd like to travel the vast ocean.

Dai Mubai said, "Brother Zhang has great ambition. I also hope that one day I can travel around and see the world like you."

Zhang Fan said, "If you plan to go to sea in the future, you can ask me to come with you. My parents are gone, and I'm all alone with no one to hold me back."

Lin Yizhang said, "I've heard that the number of soul beasts in the ocean is no less than that in the Star Dou Great Forest."

It's safer to cultivate to the level of Soul Douluo or Title Douluo first.

Zhang Fan asked curiously, "By the way, Yizhang, what level of soul power are you at now?"

"My current soul power level is level 33," Lin Yizhang replied.

Zhang Fan exclaimed in surprise, "What?! You're level 33? You've increased your soul power by eleven levels in just two years!"

Two years ago, when Lin Yizhang left Shrek Academy, his soul power level had just reached level 22.

Two years have passed and he has already reached level 33. Such a cultivation speed is simply terrifying.

"I had some fortuitous opportunities that allowed me to cultivate so quickly," Lin Yizhang said.

Zhang Fan said, "Alright, that makes sense. Otherwise, how could you have cultivated so quickly?"

It seems you've gained quite a bit during these two years away.

I also hope to find some resources while traveling across the continent, which will allow me to cultivate faster.

Lin Yizhang said, "By the way, Zhang Fan, do you know about the Pan-Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament?"

Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "The Pan-Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition? I don't know about it, I've never heard of it."

I used to be so focused on cultivation that I didn't pay much attention to things unrelated to it.

Dai Mubai said, "I know that. The Pan-Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament is held every five years."

The largest spirit competition in the spirit master world, hosted by the royal families of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires and co-organized by the Spirit Hall.

The purpose is to facilitate the recruitment of talent by powerful organizations.

If you perform exceptionally well in the competition, you may receive invitations from major powers.

In addition, the prizes for participating are very generous.

Gold Soul Coins are the lowest prize; titles, Soul Rings, and Soul Bones can also be prizes.

Moreover, there are quite a few requirements for participating in the competition.

For example, participants must be under 25 years old.

And they are able to maintain a minimum of seven participants in each match.

Lin Yizhang nodded and said, "Mu Bai is right."

In addition, this competition is a great opportunity for powerful Soul Masters to become famous throughout the Douluo Continent.

The team that wins the championship, in particular, will not only receive generous rewards but also unparalleled glory.

Zhang Fan nodded and said, "Yi Zhang, what does this have to do with us?"

"Do you want to stay at Shrek Academy and wait a few years for us to team up and compete together?"

Lin Yizhang shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant."

The reason I came back to see you this time is not to invite you to travel across the continent.

I want you and me to participate in this competition together.

But it wasn't me who stayed at Shrek Academy.

After all, you know that Shrek Academy can't even gather 7 team members right now.

Instead, I want to invite you to join the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and the team I've formed.

"Then we'll participate in the next Pan-Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament together as the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Heavenly Dou Royal Academy? Team Two?" Zhang Fan was full of questions.

Lin Yizhang explained, "Actually, I am currently a student at the Tiandou Royal Academy."

Two years ago, I left Shrek Academy and went to Tiandou City, the capital of the Tiandou Empire.

Later, by chance, he joined the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to study.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy has two spots for the competition.

Team One was directly guaranteed a spot in the finals, while Team Two competed with other colleges for a place in the finals.

My skills are actually good enough to get into the first team.

But my goal is not just to compete for the championship in the finals.

I participated in this competition because I valued the strength of my opponents.

Fighting against elite Soul Masters of the same age will surely bring great benefits to free Soul Masters like us who lack family background.

Zhang Fan, you've already reached level 40 before you're even 18, making this the perfect time to participate in the next Soul Master Competition.

"So, how about joining?"

Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "I can't make a decision right now. I'll think about it tonight and give you an answer tomorrow."

Lin Yizhang nodded: "Okay. Then let's talk about other things."

"Mu Bai is only level 27, and you've already brought him to the Soul Arena for battle? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

Dai Mubai said, "I don't participate in life-or-death battles. If I can't win a one-on-one battle, I'll just admit defeat. There's no danger in it."

Zhang Fan laughed and said, "Yi Zhang, you know Dean Flander very well."

"Back in the day, wasn't I also a Great Soul Master when Dean Flander brought me here for a Soul Battle?"

Lin Yizhang: "Indeed..."

The three began to chat, clinking glasses and exchanging pleasantries...

Finally, Zhang Fan and Dai Mubai returned to Shrek Academy.

Lin Yizhang, on the other hand, found a hotel where Dugu Bo was staying and settled in.

I didn't practice that night and slept soundly all night.

The next morning, Lin Yizhang woke up on time, clearly having established a biological clock.

After having breakfast and saying hello to Dugu Bo, Lin Yizhang went to Shrek Academy again.

Lin Yizhang awaited Zhang Fan's answer.

In addition, I didn't have time to meet Oscar and Ma Hongjun or the other teachers at the academy yesterday.

I'll go see him this morning.

Regardless of Zhang Fan's decision, Lin Yizhang and Dugu Bo will return to Tiandou City in the afternoon.
