Douluo: The Peerless Sun and Moon Mechanical God

Three days later, at dawn.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Rose Hotel, casting dappled patterns throughout the room. Light filtered through the golden gauze curtains, casting a play of light and shadow on the love-shaped bed.

Ye Guyi sat cross-legged, her silk nightgown shimmering softly, her long golden hair cascading down like a waterfall, spreading out on the sheets beside her. Her eyes were slightly closed, her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, her chest rising and falling rhythmically, a halo of light flowing around her, and her divine soul power slowly circulating.

"Squeak—"

With a soft click of the door, Ye Guyi suddenly opened her eyes, a clear and ethereal look, a result of a night of meditation, flashing across her bright golden pupils.

She saw a familiar figure carrying a tray of hotel breakfast. His cool, silver-gray hair was bathed in the warm glow of the sunlight, making him appear even more gentle and approachable. He was sure to be a kind and family-oriented man in the future.

"Good morning, Bone Robe."

Miss Angel's eyebrows curved, and her pure and flawless face smiled like spring flowers in bloom.

"Good morning."

The two greeted each other with good morning. Ye Guyi quickly got out of bed and walked into the bathroom to wash up, her delicate feet stepping on the warm, flaming lion carpet.

Lin Qing set out breakfast at the coffee table.

As an international high-end hotel chain, Rose Hotel strives for perfection in every aspect.

A white porcelain plate holds golden, crispy toast with slightly charred edges, exuding a rich and mellow aroma of rice. A cup holds warm oat milk, and a plate of neatly cut fresh fruit sits beside it. The colorful arrangement of the pieces creates an elegant and sophisticated presentation.

A moment later, the rushing water stopped, and the girl pushed the door open again. Her cheeks, wet like a fawn in the woods, were adorned with droplets of water. Her already delicate skin became even more rosy and translucent, inexplicably reminding one of gardenia petals covered in morning dew.

Ye Guyi sank into the soft sofa, clenched her fists, and stretched out a huge yawn.

"Ugh—"

Her bright golden eyes narrowed, and she let out a long, languid moan.

Today was the day the two of them registered for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. She changed her silk nightgown into loose, casual short-sleeved trousers. As she stretched her body, her pert snow-capped peaks moved slowly like drifting tectonic plates, and her altitude continued to rise.

At the same time, the hem of the short sleeves was pulled up, revealing a dazzlingly slender waist.

Lin Qing, who witnessed everything, used the action of raising a glass to drink milk to avoid looking away, inwardly marveling at the top-tier talent of the Holy Angel—pure, natural, and additive-free.

Beneath her pure face lies a captivating figure comparable to a fallen angel; a single, unintentional gesture is enough to make some Xiao Chunan in front of the screen blush.

"I went to the donut shop at the street corner this morning, and Miss Shangguan was waiting for me there early." Lin Qing put down her glass of milk, which was now empty. "The Ordinary Alliance kept its promise and got us permanent residency permits for the Sun Moon Empire."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qing reached into his pocket and took out his permanent resident card.

As one of the three major underground forces in Mingdu, the Ordinary Alliance has plenty of power and means. Shangguan Ying'er was still eager to win over the Green Robe Group and quickly agreed to help them obtain the necessary documents.

With a piece of toast dangling from his mouth, Ye Guyi took his green card, examined it carefully from all angles, and his expression was one of profound emotion.

From this day forward, they will be the people of Zhizhen Runren, legally residing in the Sun and Moon Empire for life.

After enjoying their last hotel breakfast, the two packed up and left the Golden Branches and Jade Leaves themed room.

Before leaving, Lin Qing gave the front desk clerk a tip, which immediately made the clerk beam with joy. He believed that doing good deeds every day was a great act of kindness, and that helping couples on the verge of marriage was a duty that hotel staff should fulfill!

The early autumn air is crisp and cool. Mingdu boasts the fastest pace of life of all the cities in the Douluo Continent. Pedestrians hurry through the streets and alleys, and Soul Guidance shops everywhere display their opening signs. The entire city is awakening.

The two walked through the streets and alleys and turned into a quiet area shaded by willow trees.

The weeping willows sway gently, their silken ribbons fluttering in the breeze.

This place is only three streets away from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. In Mingdu, where land is extremely valuable, it is definitely a top-tier property in the second ring road. A mansion sits in the center, with a black plaque with gold lettering hanging at the main gate.

Zhanghua Garden.

The gate was wide open, and many employees were busy sweeping the courtyard, moving furniture, and pruning ancient trees. People came and went in an orderly manner, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of flowers, plants, and trees, which was refreshing and pleasant.

The two stepped across the threshold and into the house, just like lions surveying their territory.

In just three days, the Qingyi duo visited properties all over Mingdu and ultimately decided to buy Zhanghuayuan as their future home and base of operations.

Ye Guyi even brought out her entire fortune, so naturally her name was on the "property certificate" for Zhanghua Garden, making her the rightful mistress of this mansion.

To satisfy Miss Angel's personal preferences, the house adopts the architectural style of the Heavenly Soul Empire. To the east is a garden with artificial hills and flowing water, winding paths leading to secluded spots, a few green willows rustling, and flowers planted on both sides of the bluestone path, with rare and exotic flowers vying for beauty.

Most of the buildings are on the west side, with blue bricks and plain tiles, a grand layout, and subtle details that exude a divine charm. The rear house is divided into twelve independent courtyards, which can easily accommodate dozens of people. The courtyard walls are covered with lush vines, and yellow roses, a favorite of Ye Gu Yi, are interspersed among them.

The two strolled around, occasionally offering suggestions to the renovation team. Ye Guyi's brows were full of joy, especially satisfied with the huge underground space of Zhang Huayuan. She instructed the foreman to arrange it meticulously, as she could finally realize the great ideal of an angel!

"Zhanghua Garden is suitable everywhere, the only downside is that it's expensive."

Ye Guyi turned her head to look at Lin Qing, her red lips curving into a faint smile.

"It's alright, we also have the Soul Bone of the Gale Two-Headed Wolf, consider it our joint property."

"You contributed the most, so the wolf-stolen soul bone should rightfully be yours. The Holy Angel never takes advantage of anyone."

Ye Guyi, adhering to her principles, lightly raised her hand and declared, "Let's go! We'll apply to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"

……

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

On the other side of the Douluo Continent, in the Sun Moon Empire, the status of Soul Masters far surpasses that of ordinary Soul Masters. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is undoubtedly the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent. Now, during the enrollment season, teenagers from all over the empire flock to register, and the crowds are bustling.

Aside from its prestigious reputation as a holy land for Soul Masters, the most widely known advantage of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is its wealth; the phrase "rich enough to rival a nation" is entirely fitting.

The soul tools produced by Mingdetang are in high demand and have always been synonymous with technology and quality. They are highly sought after by the four great empires. If a caravan were to risk transporting them to the Douluo Three Kingdoms, their value would instantly increase several times over, and a single smuggling operation could easily earn millions of gold soul coins.

With boundless wealth and the strong support of the Sun and Moon Emperor, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has continued to develop and expand, its area now comparable to that of a medium-sized city.

Fortunately, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy did not offer running courses, otherwise the physically weak soul masters would have suffered terribly...

Every year during the freshman season, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will open 32 classes, with 40 students in each class. The enrollment requirements are not strict: students must be under 12 years old and have a cultivation level of one ring.

Don't forget, the Sun Moon Empire is a country where everyone takes drugs. The average soul power of soul masters in the early stages is even higher than that of their old rival, Shrek Academy. Anyone who awakens half a level of innate soul power can get a soul ring by the age of eleven. A mere one ring is really not a threshold.

Since the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy does not have strict requirements such as recommendation letters from main cities, the number of freshmen places is still far more than the available spots. Therefore, the entrance examination is even more rigorous, and talent is the deciding factor.

Young people eager to see the true face of the sacred land traveled thousands of miles to get there, making the area in front of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy bustling with activity. So the academy's higher-ups took out a batch of rare metals and summoned senior students to act as mentors, guiding the new recruits to the entrance examination location.

"Xiao Meng!"

Hearing the call from afar, the white-haired girl turned around, her feet resting on tender green grass tips, her white skirt fluttering in the wind.

The girl clasped her hands behind her back, her azure eyes narrowed into crescent moons. The morning light seemed to cast a dazzling highlight on her, illuminating her shapely calves. The silhouette against the grass was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Why are you here as a mentor too?!"

The round-faced girl was panting heavily, looking at the dean's granddaughter, the apple of the eye of the Hongchen family, with a puzzled expression. When had this tycoon ever lacked a few pounds of metal?

"Researching soul tools is too boring. I'll just wander around the entrance. Maybe I'll run into that super handsome guy I'm destined to meet."

Meng Hongchen pressed down the hem of her skirt and said confidently.

"You're hopelessly obsessed with looks..." the round-faced girl complained, both amused and exasperated. "You wouldn't go so far as to target freshmen, would you? There are plenty of handsome guys in our college, and your brother is the undisputed campus heartthrob."

The trainees even organized their own fan club for him; he's always smiling.

"Laughing at the Mortal World, him?"

Meng Hongchen pouted, clearly disgusted with her older brother.

"Ji Juechen, the sword fanatic, is also famously handsome."

"His face barely meets the standard, but the problem is that Ji Juechen is too old. Rumor has it that he's a taciturn person who spends all day holding that meteorite iron sword and talking to himself, like a strange old man." Meng Hongchen shook her head like a rattle drum.

"My dear Miss Meng, I'm so curious! What kind of guy could possibly catch your eye?!"

The round-faced girl covered her face and smiled bitterly.

"...Wait, it looks like it's appearing!"

Meng Hongchen parted her cherry lips slightly, her beautiful blue eyes fixed on one spot in the crowd.

"What!?"

Ignoring her best friend's exclamations, Meng Hongchen focused intently on appreciating the most authoritative person in terms of appearance.

Sunlight streamed down his long, silvery-gray hair, making it shine like the most expensive rare metal. It seemed he took great care of his hair. His outstanding good looks made it hard for Meng Hongchen not to notice him.

Even though the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was packed with people, she still spotted this handsome, refined boy at first glance.

As for the blond guy next to him...

slightly.

Yes, Meng Hongchen completely ignored Ye Guyi and focused all her attention on appreciating Lin Qing.

"That's wonderful..." Miss Meng exclaimed softly.

"What's so good?"

"It's nothing, it's just really nice. Bye, I'm off to work!"

Meng Hongchen hummed and skipped ahead, her snow-white twin ponytails bouncing lightly.

Hello everyone!!!

White is a color that evokes feelings of beauty.

Beneath the swaying shadows of the trees, Meng Hongchen stood opposite the Qingyi duo. Sunlight filtered through the layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows on her high nose bridge and oval face, framing her soft red lips with a golden edge. Her cool yet adorable demeanor suddenly materialized.

"Meng Hongchen, a fifth-year student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and a senior student guiding students during this year's enrollment season."

Miss Meng introduced herself in a clear and bright voice, then winked at Lin Qing with one eye, exuding a natural cuteness.

"Calling me 'senior' isn't a bad idea!"

"Lin Qing/Ye Guyi, it's nice to meet you, Senior Meng."

The two men smiled and greeted the pretty white-haired girl in front of them. The girl's big eyes darted around, and she said enthusiastically:

"Come on, let me take you to the freshman assessment site and introduce you to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

"Thank you for your hard work, senior."

"Hehe, it's not hard work at all!"

Overjoyed, Meng Hongchen felt full of energy and immediately activated her information-gathering mode: "Junior brothers and sisters, you don't seem to be natives of Sun Moon, you look more like Soul Masters from Douluo Continent."

"We recently moved to the Sun Moon Empire and decided to apply to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Lin Qing responded fluently and was not surprised at all.

In our past lives, we were all from East Asia on Earth. We were Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese—our bloodlines were instantly recognizable.

The words and actions shaped by culture are completely different from one's demeanor and temperament. Among a group of students from the Sun Moon Empire, Qingyi inevitably stands out from the crowd.

So, my future children will be mixed race...

The thought suddenly popped into Meng Hongchen's mind. Then, her face flushed slightly, she coughed lightly, and said in a serious tone, "You are from the Douluo Three Kingdoms. You should know more about Shrek Academy in the past."

In fact, the two academies have somewhat similar school building models. Mingde Hall is analogous to Shrek Academy's inner academy, while ordinary classes are the outer academy.

Upon enrollment, Sun and Moon Academy requires students to possess a spirit ring and be no older than twelve.

After officially entering the academy, age is no longer an indicator for class division. Once a Soul Master's level is broken through, one can skip a level directly. For example, I am a fifth-grade Soul Master.

If one fails to reach the level of a Level 3 Soul Master by the age of eighteen, they must leave the academy to make a living on their own. At twenty-five, they become a Level 5 Soul Master and are qualified to participate in the Mingde Hall's assessment.

"Senior Sister Meng, is it possible to skip a grade during the freshman entrance exam?" the girls in green asked in unison.

Ye Guyi is four years older than Lin Qing, and is fifteen years old this year. She was admitted to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but could only do so by skipping a grade.

Lin Qing was equally indifferent to becoming a first-year student. The ultimate gold four-ring Soul Master versus a group of freshmen was like a college student mistakenly entering kindergarten. At least he should study with the Soul Guide Xiao Deng, who was at the same level.

"Yes, it's possible, but it's quite difficult."

Meng Hongchen noticed that Ye Guyi was over the age limit and nodded in affirmation: "Within two hours, each student will create a soul tool on the spot, and then use only this soul tool to engage in actual combat with senior students, and is allowed to use their own martial soul."

Since it is a grade-skipping assessment, the Soul Master level and combat ability are undoubtedly of paramount importance.

I believe you have already realized that this is not an absolutely fair battle. Therefore, the focus of the assessment is not on winning, but on showcasing your strengths as much as possible in a disadvantageous environment so that the judges can determine your talent.

Of course, if a candidate reverses the disadvantage and wins, the college will admit them unconditionally.

Friendly reminder: If you have full confidence in your Martial Soul, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy encourages new students to forgo crafting Soul Tools and rely solely on their Martial Soul to win.

The two in green exchanged a glance, having discerned the deeper intentions of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The Douluo Continent is undergoing a transformation unprecedented in a thousand years. Soul Masters and Soul Instructors are no longer clearly distinguished, and the two are gradually converging.

The Sun Moon Empire encourages Douluo Soul Masters to immigrate, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also gives the green light to recruit genius Soul Masters with superior Martial Souls. It doesn't matter if they can't make Soul Tools; as long as they have hands and feet, they can learn to use them.

After a while, Meng Hongchen led the two to a teaching building and introduced it as: "Physical testing room, used to test freshmen's bone age, soul power, and other values."

After recording the students' basic information, the academy teachers will use this information to arrange for you to take the advanced level assessment.
