Douluo: The Peerless Sun and Moon Mechanical God

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Physical Testing Room.

The new students lined up and boarded the body scanning machine one by one. Three teachers were responsible for verifying the students' identity information, managing the order in the room, and registering the data presented by each student.

A short, stout middle-aged man sat in the center of the mentor's seat, wearing academically-looking black-rimmed glasses, with his position and name engraved on a metal nameplate.

Lin Jiayi, Dean of Studies at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

With his fingertips twirling the pen that held the power of life and death over the students, Lin Jiayi gazed at the young boys and girls in the room, who were like budding flowers, as if selecting a perfectly marbled free-range pork at a market.

"Director Lin!"

A spirited shout rang out, and Lin Jiayi, upon seeing the beautiful girl with white hair and blue eyes, immediately softened his stern and cold dean of students.

"Xiao Meng, you've become a mentor too."

"Uh-huh!"

In a cheerful mood, Meng Hongchen was willing to give all humans a bright smile, and gracefully introduced the Qingyi duo to Lin Jiayi:

"Lin Qing and Ye Guyi traveled all the way from Douluo Continent to the Sun Moon Empire, their hearts set on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. They have the foundation of Soul Masters and want to directly participate in the advanced assessment."

"Can."

Lin Jiayi remained calm and unassuming. Although there weren't many freshmen who dared to challenge themselves with higher-level assessments, a few would occasionally emerge.

As we've said before, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy welcomes all exceptionally talented individuals.

"Show me your identification. You two go and line up at the scanner. I will arrange for a senior student to assess you based on your age and soul power level."

Lin Jiayi said impartially, "For the Royal Academy, the admission requirements for a first-ring Soul Master are too lenient."

The school admits 1,280 new students each year, but the number of applicants far exceeds 10,000. We need to select the most promising group from among the applicants. You must prove yourselves with real talent.

The two nodded slightly and handed over their permanent residence permits from the Sun and Moon Empire, signifying that they were legitimate and law-abiding citizens. They then walked to the end of the line to wait for the physical examination.

The body composition analyzer is a vertical cylinder about 2.5 meters high, with a crystal column standing upright from top to bottom, and a circular platform set up on the ground in front of it.

The physical examination for each new student took less than a minute, and soon it was the turn of two.

Ladies first, Ye Guyi was in front. She followed the movements of the students in front and stood on the circular platform. Since Meng Hongchen was the guiding senior, Lin Jiayi gave her face and personally recorded her movements.

Sensing the weight on the platform, the Soul Conductor Side Instrument hummed and started up. A fan-shaped light shone from the top of the crystal pillar, covering an area of ​​about one square meter, and slowly descended. A mechanical female voice accurately reported Ye Guyi's body data.

"The student is female, with a bone age of 15 and a soul power fluctuation level of 45."

He is 1.72 meters tall, weighs 48 kilograms, has no soul bones attached to his body, has a physical strength of level 57, and a physical resilience of level 61.

"null--"

The physical testing room erupted in an uproar, with the freshmen all displaying expressions of utter astonishment.

Ye Guyi was a bit older, and her physical qualities, which far exceeded her soul power level, were truly unique. A group of delicate and weak soul masters were so shocked by the Holy Angel's superhuman stats that they made meme-worthy expressions!

Meng Hongchen was also startled. Her cultivation path involved cultivating two systems. Because her martial soul, the Zhu Qingbing Toad, was extraordinary, her strength among her peers was undoubtedly top-notch in the academy, yet she was still no match for Ye Guyi.

Looking at the golden-haired girl again, Miss Meng couldn't help but look more inquisitive. Was Ye Guyi born with extraordinary strength, or did she possess an extremely violent martial spirit?

"Top-tier talent; in this aspect, the Douluo Soul Masters are truly unparalleled..."

Lin Jiayi scribbled down the data with swift, flowing strokes of his pen, constantly praising it.

The scene shocked everyone, but Ye Guyi didn't seem to care. She gracefully leaped off the platform and gave Lin Qing a encouraging look.

The instrument slowly scanned downwards, and Lin Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, a wisp of soul power quietly flowing through him.

"Student's gender: male, bone age: eleven years old, soul power fluctuation: level forty-two, height: 1.75 meters, weight: 66 kilograms, no soul bone enhancements, physical strength: ... "

Beep beep beep, beep beep beep, beep beep beep beep!

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing alarm sounded from the soul conductor measuring instrument. A nearby academy teacher stared in disbelief and exclaimed, "Director Lin, the data is malfunctioning! The measuring instrument is broken..."

"How could that be? The body composition analyzer was just inspected and there's absolutely no problem with it!"

Lin Jiayi frowned. New student enrollment is the top priority at the start of the school year, and the physical fitness testing equipment is always tested by experienced teachers.

"Director Lin, the malfunction of the physical testing machine may be related to my martial spirit."

Lin Qing spoke loudly, drawing everyone's attention to himself. A youthful, innocent smile appeared on his handsome face, easily winning people's favor.

"I am a mutated metal element martial soul, named Mechanical Element. I am naturally close to rare metals and can easily change the nature of metals."

The testing device just started, and my martial spirit reacted on its own. I'm very sorry for interfering with the device; it will be fine in a few minutes and return to normal.

"A level 42 Soul Master, right under the noses of three level 8 and level 7 Soul Masters, instantly disrupted a level 6 Soul Conductor testing instrument. The quality of this mechanical element..."

As if realizing something, Lin Jiayi suddenly gasped. Even the academy's number one genius, who was known as the master of metal, couldn't do this kind of abnormal ability!

Lin Qing said blankly, "Director Lin, I have never been to a Soul Master Academy, so I don't know much about things like the quality of a Martial Soul."

However, I once made a soul tool that imitated the aura of a martial soul as a rare and precious treasure. When I hunted soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest and activated it, I could always summon a large number of metal-attribute soul beasts for me to choose from.

During the battle, the mechanical element can easily suppress the metal element, and even a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is no match for me.

Strangely enough, when my soul power broke through level 30, my cultivation speed suddenly decreased significantly. Otherwise, based on the efficiency I used to achieve by absorbing rare metals and cultivating through meditation, I should have been close to becoming a five-ring Soul King.

"The cultivation speed of a Three-Ring Soul Master has decreased..."

Lin Jiayi abruptly stood up, his emotions running high as if he had been poisoned by the Pink Lady's neuroticism. He nearly bumped into Dean Riyue's precious granddaughter. Now, he had no time to care about Meng Hongchen, and his lips trembled as he said:

"Mechanical element is the ultimate martial soul... the ultimate metal!?"

"I don't know. I've never been to school, and my family doesn't have any particularly powerful Soul Masters to guide me."

It was still pure, wild, and ultimate gold. Lin Jiayi clenched his fist tightly!

Dean Hongchen, hard work pays off!

It has developed a unique and dazzling color; its talent is flawless!

Meng Hongchen's lips parted into a round "O" shape, as if she were stuffing half a soft-boned rabbit into her mouth. She was indeed a looks-obsessed person, but before, she had mostly admired them. Soul Masters' preference for strong people meant that they would choose a partner who was strong.

However, top-tier generalship + ultimate martial spirit...

Miss Meng was as if she had been hit head-on by a careless missile, leaving her completely disoriented.

Thanks be to Heaven for this blessing, I will cherish this wonderful marriage!

It was as if a pack of swift-blooded wolves, their eyes glowing with green light, were lurking around him after two and a half years of starvation. Ye Guyi, drenched in sweat, moved a few steps away, and at the same time gained a completely new understanding of Lin Qing.

The close bond built over this period of time meant that the Holy Angel naturally didn't believe the innocent and naive Lin Xiaoqing, which only proved that this kid was a pure actor...

He pointed out the ultimate gold, then subtly added that devouring rare metals accelerates soul power cultivation; he was practically reaching into the pocket of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!

"Oh dear... haha... how embarrassing..."

Director Lin appeared in front of Lin Qing, his eyes shining as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

The ultimate martial spirit is of great importance. Although one cannot completely believe the students' one-sided accounts, Lin Jiayi already believes it to a large extent. He just needs to continue the test to completely eliminate the last trace of doubt!

"Lin Qing, Gu Yi, I'll take you to participate in the advanced assessment."

The physical fitness test for new students was handed over to other teachers, and the dean of students personally led the group in Qingyi, his tone more enthusiastic and passionate than Meng Hongchen had ever seen before.

"The cross-level assessment is divided into two stages. First, you have two hours to create a soul tool, and then you use this soul tool to spar with a senior of the same cultivation level."

The academy allows students to give up making soul tools and encourages them to fight using their martial souls. Teachers score students based on their combat performance to determine whether they are eligible to skip a grade.

If you achieve a direct victory, you will be unconditionally admitted to the academy, because defeating a soul master whom the academy has carefully nurtured for many years has already proven your worth.

In fact, Lin Jiayi had already decided on Qingyi, and no matter how they performed, they would become members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Director Lin instructed the two to continue participating in the assessment, firstly to go through the motions and uphold the college's admission rules, and secondly to observe them in person and assess their backgrounds.

The two will inevitably receive preferential treatment and key training from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the future. However, Qingyi is from the Douluo Three Kingdoms. If the Three Kingdoms does not uphold martial ethics and uses others to gain advantages, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will be in chaos and may even suffer a double loss.

The assessment site for new students was set up in the college's experimental area, a huge metal field divided in two.

On the left were rows of metal tables, their silvery surfaces reflecting the golden sunlight falling from the sky, where many freshmen were engrossed in making soul tools.

On the right is the combat zone, where students wield their newly-made soul tools and engage in battles in pairs. Normally, new students compete against each other upon enrollment, with teachers providing fair evaluations.

Lin Qing and Ye Guyi entered the venue and each selected a metal table to create a soul tool.

This is a standard soul guidance table. The tabletop is made of polished stainless steel, which is heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant. The surface is engraved with a simple soul-gathering guidance array to help soul masters stabilize their soul power.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy provided the raw materials for soul tools. Hundreds of rare metals were piled on the table, like soldiers standing tall and waiting for inspection. Lin Qing went up and unleashed a Thunder Epic attack.

"call……"

Slightly tipsy.

The metallic scent was incredibly stylish, even sweeter than the fragrance of an angel. Lin Qing touched each of the rare metals, experiencing a sense of escaping from hell to heaven, along with an incomparably rich feeling of happiness.

I've accidentally wandered into the Heavenly Palace!

The reputation of the Sun Moon Dogs as wealthy families is well-deserved. Fifty percent of the metals on their table are rare metals, which are only known by name but never seen in the Star Luo Empire. In contrast, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is so extravagant that it uses them to test new students!

At this moment, Lin Qing's martial soul was no longer the mechanical element and the Nether Emperor Sword; the two martial souls merged into a peacock!

A true man always seeks revenge. In order to obtain the abundant metal resources of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Lin Qing resolutely transformed into a peacock, displaying its magnificent seven-colored tail feathers.

The ultimate gold and the talent for soul tools—these two are his entry ticket!

Rejuvenated Gold, a specialty metal of the Sun Moon Empire, is tough and has excellent soul power transmission properties, making it a superior choice for crafting the outer shell of soul tools.

Lin Qing picked up a piece and weighed it in his hand. The platinum metal gleamed with a cold, sharp light. He reached into his storage soul tool with his right hand and took out a long, slender carving knife.

A carving knife is a tool for carving soul tools, and it is indispensable for soul masters. This carving knife was a gift from Grandma Lin to Lin Qing, a first-level soul master. The carving knife is made entirely of dark silver, and its blade has a sharp, cold gleam.

"Click, click..."

Metal shavings fell in a flurry as the engraving knife advanced, spreading out a thin layer of platinum.

It was incredibly fast, yet its movements were steady.

Each stroke is delivered with just the right amount of force. The hand firmly controls the carving knife, the blade moving across the metal surface, cutting and slicing, carving deeply and shallowly, the knife marks weaving together a complex pattern.

The production technique was so smooth and natural that it captivated Meng Hongchen and Lin Jiayi, who were watching from afar.

……

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Mimicry Training Ground, Metal World.

The white-haired youth sat cross-legged in meditation, drawing in the vast metallic energy of the metal world into his body.

The energy is extracted from rare metals. Only the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is so extravagant, and only this white-haired youth can absorb the metal energy to the maximum extent and transform it into his own soul power.

"This is terrible...this is really bad, Brother Xiao!"

A cheerful core member rushed into the mimicry training ground.

"What kind of manners are you to shout like that? Speak clearly before you speak."

Xiao Hongchen opened his naturally heterochromatic eyes, azure and emerald green intertwined, exuding an aura of arrogance that surpassed all living beings.

"Brother Xiao, Sister Meng has been kidnapped!" The core members of Ai Xiao were extremely anxious.

"Did she meet a guy she likes?"

As blood-related twins, Xiao Hongchen knows his infatuated younger sister very well.

Upon hearing this, the cheerful core members nodded vigorously.

"I hear Meng complaining every day that there aren't any good-looking guys in the academy, and even my brother, the school's heartthrob, isn't good enough for her. What does that guy look like? Have you even seen him?"

"The other person seemed to be a freshman, taking entrance exams in the experimental zone. I caught a glimpse of him from afar..."

The core member of Ai Xiao paused almost imperceptibly for 0.2 seconds, then said with a hint of guilt, "My looks are on par with Brother Xiao's!"

"Oh?"

Xiao Hongchen stood up gracefully, his hands behind his back: "Since that's the case, I'd like to see what makes Meng an exception for him."

After saying that, Xiao Hongchen left the simulated cultivation site and headed straight for the experimental area.

The grass swayed gently, and a warm breeze swept through the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Girls, carrying books, walked through the shade of the trees, their short skirts fluttering and their long legs standing tall.

Upon seeing Xiao Hongchen from afar, most of them immediately blushed and ran away, while the bolder girls took the initiative to greet him.

Good afternoon, brother! I'm Aixiao!

"My brother is so handsome, I love his smile!"

When facing his fans, Xiao Gongzi always responded with a friendly smile, until he stepped into the experimental zone and saw with his own eyes that exquisitely crafted authoritative face.

Turning his head to look at his younger brother, whose gaze was wandering, Xiao Hongchen's expression was extremely complicated, as if he wanted to scold him but stopped himself.

I am confident, not foolishly lucky!

Is it hard to tell which meow is louder?

Everyone has two eyes and one nose, so it's hard to say who has more or less!
