The Golden Generation of Douluo Continent, starting with the inheritance of the Flame Emperor.

Upon arriving at the advanced academy, Yan discovered that the level of freedom here was far greater than it had been at the junior academy.

Aside from completing some necessary courses, you have the most free time to manage, as long as you can maintain your own progress in your training.

However, all resources here must be earned by oneself, such as the top-level mimicry cultivation room and various other cultivation resources.

All participants need to go through various battles and earn points to qualify for and have time to train in the top-tier mimicry training room.

The advanced academy does not have a specific graduation time, but students are only allowed to remain until they are twenty-five years old at most.

Because 25 years old is the maximum age for young soul masters to participate in the Continental Soul Master Competition.

After the age of twenty-five, no matter how high your cultivation level or how strong your talent, you will graduate directly and go to work in the various sub-halls or main hall of the Spirit Hall, or join the Spirit Hall's exclusive Soul Master Corps.

The highest-ranking student at the Advanced Soul Master Academy has only just broken through to the Soul Master level. For Yan, with such a level of cultivation, fighting would be effortless.

Over the course of a year, Yan's cultivation level steadily improved, rising from level twenty-three to level twenty-seven.

Although the martial artist's strength is still at the fourth level of apprentice, both his punching power and overall strength have improved further, and he is getting closer and closer to the fifth level of apprentice.

During this year, the Spirit Hall also assigned a Spirit Hall steward at the Soul Saint level with gravity-based soul skills to assist Yan in his cultivation.

Not only that, Yan also created a full set of weighted equipment made of extremely dense metal, which he wore year-round in conjunction with his cultivation.

After breaking through to the Great Soul Master level, Xie Yue and Hu Liena also entered the Advanced Academy and were assigned to the same class as Yan.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena were both highly talented and adapted to life at the advanced academy at an extremely fast pace. They also cultivated diligently, and their soul power level increased at the fastest rate, second only to Yan.

In a well-equipped private training ground on the back mountain of the advanced academy, Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena were cultivating when a burly figure quickly approached the training ground from afar.

It was none other than the Thunder Bear Martial Saint Leisak, who was also the cultivation teacher assigned by the Spirit Hall when Xie Yue and Yan first arrived at the Spirit Hall.

Now that the three have gathered at the advanced academy, the Spirit Hall simply sent Resak to the Spirit Hall Advanced Academy to guide their cultivation once again.

Upon seeing Resack arrive at the training ground, the three of them stopped what they were looking for, entered the training ground, and bowed to Resack, saying, "Teacher Resack."

Resak nodded in return.

The three stood after receiving the gifts. Before Resack could speak, Xie Yue asked first, "Teacher Resack, has the Spirit Hall issued another new mission?"

After three years of training, the three have proven their talent and are undoubtedly among the best of the younger generation.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall no longer hides its high regard for the three.

The tasks of the other members of the core class of the advanced academy were issued by the school, while the tasks of the three were issued directly by the Spirit Hall, and were conveyed and supervised by Resak.

"Xie Yue, don't be in such a hurry."

Resac chuckled: "The Spirit Hall has indeed issued a mission."

Resak looked at Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena: "First of all, it's a common task for the three of you."

Your cultivation speed is beyond doubt. You broke through to the Great Soul Master level in just three years, and both of you have a super-limited combination of a hundred-year soul ring and a thousand-year soul ring.

Such a soul ring configuration is unprecedented in the history of the Martial Soul world. Given that your current cultivation level is not high in the Martial Soul world, this is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.

Therefore, His Holiness the Pope ordered Elders Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to consult the cultivation manuals of past powerful figures in the Spirit Hall and create a secret technique for concealing spirit rings tailored specifically for them.

"Hidden spirit rings?"

Xie Yue and Hu Liena were puzzled.

Yan's heart stirred; there were descriptions of similar secret techniques in the original work.

For example, Sword Douluo Chen Xin's spirit rings did not appear behind him like other spirit masters, but were embedded in his Seven Kill Sword.

Such techniques were primarily used for showing off, but now they are quite practical for Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena.

Resak didn't keep them in suspense and explained the secret method for hiding the spirit rings to the three of them.

As expected, all three showed expressions of surprise and delight upon hearing about the effects of the hidden soul ring technique.

Especially Xie Yue and Hu Liena.

They don't have Yan's strength; they are just ordinary Great Soul Masters. If they were to encounter a high-level Soul Master who covets their method of obtaining super-limited Soul Rings, they would have no power to resist.

Therefore, the two of them actually needed this secret technique more than Yan.

"Elder Chrysanthemum Douluo said that as long as you can complete the cultivation of this secret technique within a month, each of you will receive three millennium-level whale glues."

Ten-thousand-year whale glue is the finest among whale glues and is not easily obtained. Although thousand-year-old whale glue is easier to obtain than ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, the Spirit Hall does not possess a particularly large quantity of it.

Even though Hu Liena usually only uses whale glue that is a hundred years old, she rarely uses whale glue that is a thousand years old, except for Bibi Dong's special gift.

All three had used whale glue for cultivation, so they naturally knew the powerful effects of the millennium whale glue and naturally wanted to obtain it.

Under Resack's guidance, the three of them began their training in earnest.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

On the training ground, Yan sat cross-legged, his body covered in flames, with the Flame Lord already possessing him.

However, behind him were not the first and second soul rings of a thousand years that overturned the common understanding of soul masters.

On Yan's left wrist, where intense flames swirled, two slender purple lights appeared like two bracelets on his wrist.

The flames swept over it briefly before disappearing again, making it difficult to see clearly.

Yan opened his eyes, raised his left hand to look at his wrist, and saw that the delicate soul ring light and shadow could not be seen at all under the flames he deliberately controlled. He couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

Adding a wristband afterwards would completely prevent others from detecting you.

Putting away his Flame Lord Martial Soul, he looked in the direction of Xie Yue and Hu Liena. Their soul rings were still floating behind them, but they were starting to shrink. Presumably, they would be able to successfully cultivate the secret technique in a while.

Yan got up, found Resak, and told him the news that he had successfully completed his cultivation.

"Great, Yan, the Millennium Whale Glue can be delivered tomorrow."

Resack: "Perfect timing, now you can begin your next task."

"Teacher, what kind of task is it?"

Yan asked.

"It's a wanted mission for Soul Masters."
