Douluo: The Peerless Sun and Moon Mechanical God

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Dean of Students' Office.

After the advanced assessment concluded, according to the established rules, the Qingyi Duo emerged victorious and were automatically admitted to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

However, due to Douluo Runren's sensitive identity, Lin Jiayi still harbored some doubts.

Having read through the history books of the four kingdoms in his early years, Director Lin knew that the Heaven Dou Empire was almost overthrown by the young master of the Spirit Hall, who was an undercover agent.

Learning from history reveals the rise and fall of dynasties. As a loyal member of the Sun Moon Society, Director Lin absolutely does not want the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to help the enemy cultivate geniuses, causing the Sun Moon Empire to repeat the mistakes of the Heavenly Battle. Therefore, he decided to conduct a small test.

"Xiaoqing, Guyi, please have a seat."

Looking at the blue-clad woman whose entire being exuded talent, Lin Jiayi gestured for the two to sit down, personally brewed two cups of jasmine tea, and lit relaxing incense.

With a flick of the wrist, two purple-gold eight-pointed star badges appeared, each adorned with four exquisite diamonds carved into the shape of stars.

"This is the Soul Master Badge. In my capacity as an eighth-level Soul Master of the Sun Moon Empire and the Dean of Studies of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, I hereby confer upon you the title of Fourth-Level Soul Master," Lin Jiayi said solemnly.

"In the future, when we go to any city in the Douluo Continent, everyone will recognize the Soul Master level awarded by the Sun Moon Empire. We will be the authority on Soul Masters."

"Thank you, Director."

Lin Qing and Ye Guyi are both Soul Masters, so they naturally understand its significance.

In principle, all four major imperial academies are qualified to award Soul Master badges, but the Sun Moon Empire has stricter standards and its prestige far exceeds that of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

The two countries' Soul Masters are still engaged in a war of words. The Sun Moon Empire gives the middle finger to the three great empires, accusing them of lacking craftsmanship and arbitrarily lowering standards, with a bunch of half-baked idiots actually distributing badges.

Although the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire have weak Soul Power, compared to their competitors of the same level as Douluo, each one of them is truly formidable.

Within the Sun Moon Empire, it is extremely difficult for a Soul Master to gain recognition from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Don't be fooled by Lin Jiayi's assessment of Ye Guyi as barely reaching the fourth level; if she were sent back to Douluo Continent, she would still be a top-tier individual.

Wisps of steam rose, filling the room with the warm, comforting scent of incense. Lin Jiayi watched the two with a smile, casually starting a conversation:

"From today onwards, you are students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

My mentor once taught me a lesson: life is like a fork in the road; you need to make choices to determine the path you will take in the future. Once you have chosen, you can only walk along that path without thinking.

I'm personally a bit curious. These two students come from the Douluo Continent, and their martial souls are top-tier and powerful. Why did they leave their hometowns to come to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy instead of joining Shrek Academy, which is the number one soul master academy on the continent?

Here comes the background check!

Lin Qing and Ye Guyi exchanged glances and instantly realized the deeper meaning behind the headmaster's words.

For ten thousand years, the Douluo Three Kingdoms have been influenced by Shrek Academy, and the entire region regards it as a holy land for soul masters. Talented young soul masters compete to enroll, so there is no reason for Bright Swan and Ultimate Gold to travel thousands of miles to join the Sun and Moon Academy.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiayi leaned forward slightly, his eyes reflecting the raging flames.

"Um, Director Lin..."

Like an honest child caught red-handed cheating for the first time, Ye Guyi tried her best to explain: "I have always admired the Sun Moon Empire. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is a sacred paradise that Soul Masters yearn for."

As an ordinary Soul Master, I…”

A woman who's clumsy with words!

The military general was not good with words, and his voice grew softer and softer as he spoke. A thin layer of sweat appeared on Ye Guyi's fair forehead, and the pure little angel in her heart kept scolding him, saying that these words were lies and that lying was a loss of conscience!

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiayi and Lin Qing shook their heads slightly in unison. Xiao Ye's answer was mediocre and could be summed up in one word. It was clear that it did not meet the expectations of the Dean of Students.

Lin Jiayi's gaze fell upon those silver-gray eyes, a hint of anticipation creeping into his heart. The status of the Ultimate Gold and the Bright Swan were not comparable, so Lin Qing's answer was crucial.

The pressure has increased dramatically!

Lin Qing stood ramrod straight, his expression unwavering even in the face of imminent collapse, and said, "Director Lin, you know."

This was an extremely difficult decision to bring the talent of the Ultimate Gold to the Sun and Moon Empire.

I chose the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy because it is the best opportunity now and in the future to absorb rare metals to cultivate soul power, receive top-level soul master education, strive for the title of Douluo, and break through to the Super Douluo level. Cultivation realm is the most important thing to me.

In the Douluo Continent, I cultivated from a Soul Master to a Soul Grandmaster, pushing myself to the limit and squeezing out all the resources around me. To go further, I had to make a change.

At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, I can have all my wishes fulfilled and win two Soul Master Competition championships alongside elite Soul Masters.

As the ancients said, "Don't let loyalty ruin you." As for Douluo Continent... I wish the three great empires good luck.

People who don't handle stress!

Lin Jiayi was stunned. What incredible agility and skill! This kid has the potential to become a Soul Master GOAT!

"I understand what Director Lin is worried about." Lin Qing decided to be frank and say it outright, "I am willing to guarantee with the eternal reputation of the Asura God and the Sea God that I will have no other thoughts on this trip."

"Me too!"

Ye Guyi quickly picked up where she left off.

More than ten thousand years have passed since the Battle of Jialing Pass, and she cannot change the established fact that the Martial Soul Empire suffered a crushing defeat.

Ye Guyi was not satisfied with the Sea God's actions after his victory. In the era of the Six-Winged Angels, evil soul masters were easily killed if they showed their faces. Now, however, evil soul masters have grown into a chronic disease of the Douluo Continent.

Miss Angel is determined to venture into a foreign land, settle down there, and spend her life fighting against mysterious and treacherous evil forces.

But if the sun and moon and the angels are present, evil spirits will not be allowed to cross the path of darkness!

Before the battle breaks out, let's borrow the reputation of our ancestors' enemies!

"There's no need for this, my two classmates. Your joining the Sun Moon Empire is a blessing for the empire; we are only grateful!"

Lin Jiayi apologized repeatedly, but was actually extremely satisfied with the two's reaction.

Who is Tang San, the Sea God? He is the number one saint in the entire history of Douluo Three Kingdoms, the Holy Emperor Tang!

How dare you talk nonsense like that!

However, the extraterrestrial demon Qingzai and the angelic descendant Yijiang...

The two of them passionately swore an oath on Tang San's reputation, then sat down innocently and obediently in a row, heads slightly lowered. At this moment, they dared not look at each other at all, trying to recall the sad memories of their lives.

Thinking to himself that these young people were teachable, Lin Jiayi said with great satisfaction, "Both of you, the director can assure you that you have made the right choice!"

The Sun and Moon Emperor once called on all level nine soul masters to conduct war simulations to study the time required to conquer the Douluo Continent. The Mingdou Mountain Range, which was known as an absolute defense, could be broken with a flick of the finger!

Conquering the Mingdou Mountains in four hours, taking Xingluo City in five days, flattening Tiandou City in eighteen days, besieging Lingdou City in thirty-five days, and defeating Shrek Academy in thirty-nine days!

When the level-nine fixed-load shells will fall depends entirely on the whim of His Majesty, who sits on the dragon throne, raising his cup to drink; life and death are decided in the hands of the five guardians, their blades sheathed!

As Lin Qing heard Director Lin's flowery praise, he couldn't help but scratch his brow.

To be fair, the impregnable Mingdou Mountains were indeed not bypassed by the army, and the Sun Moon Empire violently blasted them open with level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.

The Sun and Moon Army marched all the way, attacking the Northwest Legion led by Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Army. They almost killed Marshal Xingluo, who had spent his life on the battlefield, in one battle. Princess Jiujiu was flustered and helpless, like a French escargot on a hot iron plate.

After boasting about the unparalleled military might of the Sun Moon Empire, Lin Jiayi laughed and said, "Sorry, we've gone off on a tangent. Let's get back to the main topic."

Considering that both of you are at the fourth-ring Soul Master level, I have assigned you to the upper grades as transfer students to Class 1 of the fifth grade, where you will study with Soul Masters of the same level.

Looking back at the previous assessments of soul tool making, the director noticed some minor issues with your work.

Of course, this is not your responsibility, but a common problem in the Soul Guidance World of Douluo Continent. The Sun Moon Teachers will do their best to cultivate every student and help all students pave their way forward.

I wish you all the best in your new life at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and that every day is filled with happiness and meaning.

After saying that, Lin Jiayi took out the student ID, college map, dormitory key, class schedule, school uniform and other necessities, and handed them to Lin Qing and Ye Guyi, thus officially enrolling in the school.

After leaving the dean's office, Qingyi glanced at the map. The male and female dormitories were in two separate buildings, so they agreed to go back to their rooms to tidy up and meet at the cafeteria early the next morning.

……

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Dean's Office.

The dean's office is located on the top floor of the teaching building, with windows on three sides. The metal bookshelves against the wall are piled with manuscripts of soul guides, and several boxes of top-grade tea are placed on the bottom shelf. The overall furnishings are varied but not messy, and the room is quiet and serene.

With his round, plump body sinking into the office chair, Dean Riyue and Chief Mirror Hongchen Meimei were enjoying a peaceful afternoon.

Outside the window, the sound of cannons echoed from the training ground, but the lord of the hall didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

With his left hand twirling two old, sun-and-moon metal walnuts, and his right hand occasionally pouring a pot of hot tea onto his beloved tea pet, the lucky toad, Jing Hongchen sat watching the tea spill back onto the plate, a faint composure on his face, as if he wouldn't panic even if the sky were to fall.

"Master, I am Lin Jiayi."

A knocking sound rang out, and the visitor introduced himself.

"Enter."

The old man, Jing Hongchen, remained calm and composed.

"Great news, Master! Fantastic news!"

The moment Lin Jiayi stepped into the dean's office, hand in hand and foot in unison, he couldn't wait to reveal his ecstatic joy.

"Jiayi, how come you've completely forgotten how to cultivate your inner strength all these years? At this rate, when will you ever break through to the ninth-level Soul Master?" Jing Hongchen rolled his eyes. "You'll be influenced by your surroundings. You need to learn from me."

"Master, this is fantastic news!" Lin Jiayi exclaimed excitedly. "The academy has recruited two promising students this year, one of whom is the legendary Ultimate Gold!"

"The ultimate gold?"

Jing Hongchen's eyes sharpened, and she pressed, "Are you sure?"

"It's a sure thing!"

Presenting the new student report with both hands, Lin Jiayi said firmly: "Xiaolai observed the new student assessment at the test site and personally admitted that the Three-Legged Golden Toad bloodline experienced a wave of fear and retreat due to mechanical elements."

The sect leader can make even the bloodline of a top-tier metal-attribute divine beast avoid it. There is nothing else in the world but the ultimate metal. Moreover, all of Lin Qing's actions prove that he is the ultimate metal!

The academy has finally unearthed a treasure! You didn't see just how terrifying the Ultimate Gold is. Lan Xiu's Nine Luminaries, whose minds were connected, were instantly controlled by the mechanical element and turned against their former master. If this were to happen on the battlefield, it would be unimaginable!

Warfare is all about information asymmetry. Let me give you an example: what if Lin Qing hadn't come to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but instead chose Shrek Academy?

"Then, the high-altitude detection soul-guided devices that the Empire relies on in the future will most likely all become Lin Qing's spies, spying on every detail of the battlefield for him, while the Sun and Moon Army will become a bunch of headless flies!"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, the Ultimate Gold has already enrolled."

At this moment, Jing Hongchen displayed a calmness that Lin Jiayi did not expect. The inspection report showed that the immigration procedures were copied, legal and compliant, and that her ancestors for three generations had a clean record and were law-abiding citizens.

"The only thing worth discussing is nationality." Lin Jiayi took a breath. "I'm worried that Lin Qing is an undercover agent sent by the three major empires, using their resources to his advantage."

"stupid!"

Jing Hongchen pointed with a finger as thick as a radish: "A supreme Soul Master is a once-in-a-millennium talent. Whether it's Douluo Three Kingdoms or Shrek Academy, if you encounter such a monstrous genius, do you think you would send him to the Empire as an undercover agent?"

Using a walnut instead of a brain to think, if I were Xu Jiawei or Yan Shaozhe, I would never let Lin Qing out of my sight!

With exceptional talent, and at eleven years old, a crucial period for the formation of one's values, even if Lin Qing were a Douluo spy, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy could still turn him to serve the empire with unwavering loyalty!

"The sect leader is so domineering!"

Lin Jiayi was completely convinced.

"Back then, in order to fully understand our competitors, I secretly sent people to Shrek City to gather information," Jing Hongchen said with pride.

"Four hundred students from Shrek Academy's outer courtyard are vying for one toilet. How can they compete with the wealthy and powerful Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? We have single dorm rooms with private bathrooms! We win!"

"The academy is mighty!" Director Lin transformed into a ruthless straight man.

"In this life, what people pursue is nothing more than power, wealth, and sex."

Jing Hongchen slowly stood up and sighed, "At Lin Qing's age, let's put power and lust aside for now. As for wealth... he can absorb rare metals to cultivate, right? Heh, the Sun Moon Empire has no shortage of rare metals!"

The metal world of the simulated cultivation ground is open to him for free. I really don't believe it. Could the ultimate metal really drain the academy dry?

Sharpshooters are made through sheer bullets. Lin Qing's monthly rare metal allowance was doubled, allowing him to hone his soul-guiding skills. Meanwhile, he was secretly observed, and once it was confirmed that Lin Qing was wholeheartedly loyal to the Sun Moon Empire, his treatment was further improved!

"The Master is wise!"

"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Jing Hongchen tapped the table. "The academy has long planned to open a special class to cultivate students with outstanding talents. I think it's time to implement it. Inform all the class teachers that the time is set after March."

"Yes."

Lin Jiayi accepted the order and left, thinking to himself that the hall master was indeed the hall master, even when facing the ultimate gold, he remained calm and composed, arranging everything in an orderly manner.

Steadfast as a mountain, truly a role model for us all!

"Click..."

The office door closed, and as Jing Hongchen listened quietly to Lin Jiayi's footsteps fading into the distance, she took a deep breath, a deep breath, a deep breath... and then jumped up on the spot!

"Damn it, this doesn't make sense! It's like a pie fell from the sky and landed right in my mouth!"

Hahaha, Shrek Academy, it's time to settle our old scores!!!

The Riyue Teaching Building feels slightly weightless!
