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

Chapter 81 Accumulating Battle Spirit Experience

Lin Yizhang and the other two followed the three education committee members into the office. After Meng Shenji invited everyone to sit down, he said, "I called you here to understand your cultivation progress. In the Soul Battle competition just now, your performance was the most outstanding. You are the pride of my Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."

Meng Shenji looked at Zhang Fan and said kindly, "Your name is Zhang Fan, right? We've had high hopes for you ever since Lin Yizhang introduced you to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. You certainly haven't disappointed us. In just two or three years since joining the academy, you've cultivated from Soul Master to Soul King. Your soul power level should be 53 now, right?"

Zhang Fan nodded and said, "Yes, Education Commission."

Meng Shenji waved his hand and said, "You don't need to bother with these formalities with us anymore. Let's just communicate casually."

Zhilin, the Education Commissioner, remarked with emotion, "I used to think that Qin Ming was the only promising junior at our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, but now it seems that your cultivation talent surpasses even Qin Ming's!"

The Baibaoshan Education Committee member nodded and said, "The talents of the three of you are all top-notch, and you all have the potential to be titled. And that girl Ye Lingling is the same. She is a support-type Soul Master who is almost a Soul King at the age of 20. There has never been a support-type Soul Master more outstanding than her in history! Perhaps she will become the first support-type Title Douluo in the history of Soul Masters."

Meng Shenji said, "Zhang Fan, if you have any cultivation needs in the future, you can come to us. We will definitely help you if we can. In fact, if you want to obtain a noble status, we can go to His Majesty tomorrow to request that you be granted the title of Imperial Earl."

Meng Shenji was clearly trying to recruit Zhang Fan, a commoner prodigy, for the Heaven Dou royal family. However, Zhang Fan's ambition was not to become a nobleman and gain wealth and honor, but to cultivate and become a Title Douluo. Therefore, he declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Education Committee, but I plan to travel the continent after graduation, so I won't trouble you to help me apply for a title."

Meng Shenji said, "Alright, a young person with your talent should indeed travel across this vast continent to broaden your horizons and gain experience. Back in the day, the three of us also traveled across the continent together; those times are our most precious memories."

Meng Shenji's eyes revealed a longing for the past, but he quickly recovered from his emotions and looked at Lin Yizhang, saying, "Yizhang, your talent is the best I have ever seen. You are only at the Soul Master realm and you can already create your own soul skills. Those two self-created soul skills you just created are very good, especially the one that can make you fly, which is even more heaven-defying!"

"I presume His Majesty Dugu has already told you about creating your own soul skills? Soul masters who can create soul skills suited to themselves are all renowned powerhouses across the continent. You've achieved so much at such a young age; your future is truly limitless."

Lin Yizhang said, "These self-created soul skills are indeed very suitable for me. The soul skill I just used that can explode is called 'Rasengan,' and the other one that can make you fly is called 'Air Step.' Using these self-created soul skills requires very precise control of soul power or a strong physique. Even with the physique of a beast-type soul master, it is difficult to cultivate them successfully. Therefore, these self-created soul skills have limitations, and it is difficult for others to learn them."

"Yes, I noticed that too. Your 'Rasengan' does require a very strong control over soul power. Most soul masters cannot control their soul power as well as you do."

"And for you to successfully execute that 'Sky Step,' you not only need exquisite soul power or control, but more importantly, your physique must be strong enough to make that move." The speaker was Zhilin, a control-type Soul Douluo. As a control-type Soul Master, his exquisite control over soul power far surpassed that of Meng Shenji and Baibaoshan.

Bai Baoshan said, "We underestimated the power of a Body Spirit before. We never expected it to have such an advantage. It seems we should pay more attention to those Soul Masters who awaken Body Spirits in the future."

Meng Shenji and Zhilin nodded and said, "That's true."

"Yi Zhang, you must remember not to use your self-created soul skills lightly in the future, especially when the Spirit Hall personnel are present. You may not have truly felt the danger in the world of soul masters yet. Not everyone will flatter you; there are always some people who want to kill so-called geniuses like you. You must be careful," Meng Shenji warned solemnly.

Lin Yizhang nodded.

Meng Shenji finally looked at Dugu Yan and said, "Dugu Yan, those eight spider legs that appeared behind you during your battle must be the legendary external soul bone, right?"

Dugu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I call it the Eight Spider Spears. I obtained it when I was acquiring the Human-Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring."

"Well, as the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, he must have already told you about external soul bones. I also want to remind you to be careful in the future," Meng Shenji said.

"The Elite Soul Master Competition is coming soon, so don't slack off in your training during this final period. Although you are very strong, the Spirit Hall team has won the championship in previous competitions, so your biggest opponent should still be the Spirit Hall team. Don't underestimate them," Meng Shenji reminded him.

"Don't worry, Education Commissioners, we won't underestimate our opponents. I will lead Team Two to win the championship," Lin Yizhang said confidently. "However, I would like to ask the three Education Commissioners not to report the specific strength of our Team Two to His Majesty yet. We want to give His Majesty a surprise during the competition."

"Alright, I have high hopes for your second team. I'll keep your strength a secret for now, and give His Majesty a surprise when we participate in the qualifiers. Now that there's nothing else, you may leave," Meng Shenji said.

After leaving the office, Lin Yizhang and his two companions went to find Ye Lingling. It had been a long time since they had a get-together, and today was a good day since they had defeated Team One, so they decided to celebrate. They could also invite the remaining members of Team Two to join them for a meal and strengthen their bonds.

The battle against Team One was just a minor incident in their daily training. After the incident, the members of Team Two resumed their original arduous training process.

However, the next training plan will not focus on cultivating soul power as before, but will involve participating in competitions at the Great Soul Arena to increase practical combat experience.

Next, the second team will go to various large arenas to participate in team battles and let those noble but weak members participate in single or double battles.

Lin Yizhang decided that, except for the Soto City Grand Arena, he would visit every other arena within the Heaven Dou Empire. He would fight against teams like the Tianshui Team and the Blazing Fire Team.
