Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

The mountain in the Northern Province is perfect for creating the mimicry training ground that the New Element Academy needs.

The mountain itself is an extinct volcano that has not erupted for thousands of years, but the underground lava has not yet been extinguished, making it suitable for creating a fire-type simulated training ground. This can be seen from the current lava simulated training ground of Blazing Fire Academy.

Because of the extremely high altitude of the mountains, the mountaintops are covered with ice and snow all year round, making them a natural ice-based training ground.

Several natural lakes of varying sizes are scattered around the foot of the mountain, which can be easily modified to create a water-based training ground.

As for the wind-elemental mimicry training ground?

This is simple. Find a secondary peak with a decent altitude, carve a hole in the top that is open at both ends and flared out at both ends. Don't worry about the wind being too strong.

"Are Blazing Fire, Heavenly Water, and Divine Wind Academy about to merge and reorganize?"

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened, clearly shocked by the news.

Aside from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which is directly under the imperial authority, the five most powerful advanced soul master academies in the Heaven Dou Empire are Thunder, Divine Wind, Blazing Fire, Heavenly Water, and Elephant Armor.

The five elemental academies already wield considerable influence. If the Blazing Fire, Heavenly Water, and Divine Wind elemental academies were to merge and reorganize, the new elemental academy would undoubtedly be the strongest academy within the Heaven Dou Empire.

In addition, after the merger of the three elemental academies, the new elemental academy will have three Douluo—Tyrannosaurus, Blazing Fire, and Frost—in charge.

Judging solely from the number of Title Douluos, this surpasses even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which are firmly among the top three sects on the continent.

Qian Renxue could foresee that once the news of the merger and reorganization of the three major elemental academies spread, it would cause a huge uproar in the soul master world of the continent.

It should be noted that the new Elemental Academy not only has three Title Douluos in charge, but also six dazzling geniuses among the younger generation: Mu Yang, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Feng Xiaotian!

The three Douluo are currently in their prime and far from old age. If nothing unexpected happens, several years from now, the merged and reorganized Elemental Academy will have as many as nine Title Douluo in charge!

Such strength is second only to the Spirit Hall, the dominant force in the world of Soul Masters on the continent.

"My dear brother, no wonder you looked down on the Empire's attempts to win you over; it turns out you have a better place to go!"

After a long pause, Qian Renxue said with a somber expression.

By accepting the Heavenly Dou Empire's offer, Mu Yang's future gains would at most be a royal guest minister and a title that would be of little use to him personally.

But staying in the academy to take up a position is a different story. In the future, there is a high possibility that one will take charge of the second strongest super power in the Soul Master world. Isn't that much better than being a royal guest or a noble?

However, this makes it seem that the possibility of recruiting his preferred future top general into his ranks is very slim.

Mu Yang waved his hand and said, "Brother Qinghe, you're joking. With our relationship, it's just a matter of a word."

"Brother, with the establishment of a new academy, will the Blazing Fire Academy be facing financial difficulties? Why don't I contribute as well, so that we can build a better future for the empire?"

Qian Renxue's idea was simple: first, make a good impression.

Once her plan to usurp the throne is complete, and she ascends to the throne of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the New Element Academy might very well be put to her use.

She chose to be close to the Spirit Hall; she was the young master of the Spirit Hall.

She chose to be close to the Heavenly Dou Empire; she became its new ruler.

Choosing to remain neutral means that most of the graduates trained by the academy will join the Spirit Hall or the Heavenly Dou Sect, which is considered as joining her ranks.

It can be said that as long as the New Element Academy does not get involved with the Star Luo Empire, then no matter which option is chosen, they will be considered allies. The only difference is the degree of closeness.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yang glanced at Qian Renxue with slight surprise and said, "You should discuss this with my uncle. I don't care about this. The academy's only requirement for me is to cultivate diligently."

"Too."

Qian Renxue nodded.

Chatting along the way, the carriage stopped in front of the Tiandou Hotel.

When the Crown Prince of the Empire hosts a banquet, the level of hospitality is naturally high, especially since the Tiandou Grand Hotel is a property under the royal family.

After eating and drinking for more than an hour, Qian Renxue finally arranged for a carriage to take Mu Yang and the other person back.

Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Qian Renxue fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the "Overlord Flower" standing beside her spoke up: "Your Highness, in my perception, Young Master Mu and Miss Shui's auras are much stronger than before. If nothing unexpected happens, their soul power level should have advanced to the sixth ring."

Although the perception wasn't specific, in 'Overlord Flower's' view, there was a greater than 90% chance that the two of them were now six-ring Soul Emperors.

"The Sixth Ring Road?"

Immediately, Qian Renxue frowned.

Others may not know Mu Yang's real age, since the Blazing Fire Academy had overstated his age by several years when registering him for the Soul Master Competition, but Qian Renxue, who had already sent someone to investigate, knew the truth.

At fifteen years old, a six-ring Soul Emperor, and also recognized as the food-type Soul Master with the slowest cultivation difficulty, it's simply unbelievable!

Compared to Hu Liena, on whom Bibi Dong placed high hopes, she only won the fourth ring at fifteen and the fifth ring at twenty.

"As expected, there are always people more capable than you, and the sky's the limit. I need to step up my game."

Qian Renxue sighed inwardly.

It is foreseeable that if this trend continues, without putting in more effort, in the near future, her innate level 20 soul power might be overtaken by Mu Yang.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed, and it's afternoon.

In the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, on a small, beautiful artificial lake island, Qian Renxue, who had transformed into Xue Qinghe, was meditating and cultivating.

The ideal training ground for the Swan Martial Soul is undoubtedly a beautiful lakeside environment.

However, Qian Renxue is not the real Xue Qinghe. Her martial soul is a six-winged angel, not a swan. What she wants is not the lake environment, but the sunlight falling from the sky.

The purpose of this meditation practice is simply to pay attention to details and avoid arousing suspicion.

Suddenly, footsteps approached, and "Overlord Flower" crossed the stone bridge and stopped beside Qian Renxue.

"What is it?"

Sensing her arrival, Qian Renxue broke out of her meditation and asked.

"Your Highness, news has come from over there that Hu Liena has returned from her training in the City of Slaughter and has obtained the God of Slaughter Domain."

After using her spiritual energy to sense the surroundings, she found no third person nearby. "Overlord Flower" said in a deep voice.

"The Domain of the God of Slaughter. The Domain of the God of Slaughter?!"

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but raise her voice.

Qian Renxue wasn't surprised that Hu Liena had obtained the Killing God Domain, but rather that she connected it to the strange phenomena that had appeared on Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er—weren't these exactly the aftereffects of obtaining the Killing God Domain? (End of Chapter)
