Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 6 New Mission

Where there is demand, there will be a market. As the largest original forest of soul beasts in the Douluo Continent, the Star Dou Great Forest naturally attracts many soul masters to hunt for soul rings.

To meet the needs of Soul Masters, towns gradually emerged around the Star Dou Great Forest, consisting of shops and inns that mainly sold items urgently needed by Soul Masters.

After arriving in this unknown town, Miao and Xiao Yu randomly found a decent-looking hotel and settled down to rest.

Xiao Yu took a long, refreshing shower, washing away the dust and grime of the past few days, and then lay down on the big bed with a look of contentment on his face.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for killing a hundred-year-old soul beast and absorbing its soul ring on your own. Black-level mission complete. Reward: 1 Black-level character summoning card and 100 diamonds."

Just then, the system notification sounded slowly.

"System, your reaction time is really slow. I've been absorbing the spirit ring for half a day and you're only just realizing it."

Xiao Yu made a complaint, and then immediately decided to use the newly acquired black character card. At present, his strength was still too weak, and the more powerful people around him, the better.

"Ding, the selection of the Black-level character has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Specter Starfire, the Martial Soul Bennu Bird, the innate soul power level 9, and the current soul power level 85."

"It really is the Netherworld System."

Xiao Yu scoffed again, but was quite satisfied with the draw results. This Huihuo was a Specter from the LC era, incredibly powerful, considered comparable to the three Judges of Hell, and a sworn enemy of Libra Gold Saint Dohko.

With a Soul Douluo-level expert and a Soul Saint-level expert protecting him, Xiao Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't provoke top continental forces like the Spirit Hall, Clear Sky Sect, or Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which possessed Title Douluo-level experts, he could basically roam freely on the continent.

"Ding! It has been detected that the host has broken through level ten and reached the Soul Master realm. The following new task is hereby issued:"

"Task 1: Enroll in a junior Soul Master Academy. The task level is related to the academy you enroll in, and the specific correspondence is as follows:"

In an instant, a map of the Douluo Continent appeared before Xiao Yu's eyes, with each small dot representing a primary Soul Master Academy.

Xiao Yu reached out and tapped the small, glowing circle, which immediately brought up detailed information about the academy, including its name, size, address, the dean's cultivation level, the average level of the teachers, and so on. The last column explained the academy's level in relation to the mission.

It took Xiao Yu about twenty minutes to browse through all the junior soul master academies and get a basic understanding of all the academies.

Among these, the highest mission level corresponding to the Soul Master Academy is Black, and there are three academies in total: Spirit Hall Junior Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Junior Soul Master Academy, and Star Luo Royal Junior Soul Master Academy.

With Xiao Yu's aptitude, it wouldn't be difficult for him to enroll in these academies. However, just by looking at the names of these three academies, one can guess which faction runs them. After witnessing Xiao Yu's potential, these major factions would have to be crazy to let him go.

Even if Xiao Yu isn't forced to join, studying at the Soul Master Academy for six years will inevitably involve using the academy's resources, which is equivalent to owing a debt of gratitude, and the hardest thing to repay in this world is a debt of gratitude.

Below these three academies, there are more than a dozen other Soul Master academies that can be ranked up to the Purple level. Out of curiosity, Xiao Yu went to check the level of Notting Academy. With a Soul Master-level dean in charge, Notting Academy also has Yellow-level rewards.

However, Tang San is only one year old right now. By the time he and Xiao Wu enter school, Xiao Yu will almost be graduating, making it virtually impossible for them to even interact. As for intercepting Xiao Wu or nipping Tang San in the bud, the risk level is far too high. Don't forget, they also have someone with a hammer protecting them.

"Let's choose a suitable one from these dozen or so purple-level Soul Master academies."

Xiao Yu slowly moved the map that had appeared out of thin air in front of him, browsing through the academies that met his criteria.

For most Soul Masters, being able to join an academy protected by a powerful sect is undoubtedly the best thing. Therefore, many academies with powerful backers have very simple and clear names to attract students. Xiao Yu can basically guess the power behind them just by looking at the name.

After eliminating several obviously unsuitable academies, Xiao Yu set his sights on a school called Mingjing Junior Soul Master Academy.

The academy's dean is a level 57 Soul King, and the average cultivation level of the teachers is around Soul Venerable. The academy is located in the Kaiser Province next to the Kingdom of Sylvia, far away from Spirit City, Heaven Dou City and Star Luo City, making it the perfect fit for Xiao Yu's choice.

After Xiao Yu closed the pop-up academy map interface, he saw that several other tasks had been posted below the "Join the Junior Soul Master Academy" section:

"Task Two: Become the top student within one year. The task level is the same as the corresponding task level of the academy you are admitted to."

"Task 3: Become the top student in the academy within three years. The task level is one level lower than the corresponding task level in the academy. If the academy is at the white level, this task is invalid."

"Task 4: Successfully graduate from the Junior Soul Master Academy. The task level is the same as the corresponding task level of the academy you entered."

"Task Five, Red-level Task: Break through to the Soul Master level within one year."

"Task Six, Black-level Task: Break through to the Soul Master level within three years."

"Task Seven, Purple-level Task: Break through to the Soul Master level before graduating from the Soul Master Academy."

"Becoming a chief student mainly tests practical skills. Graduation is more like a bonus. With my current qualifications, unless the college has made a mistake, how could I not graduate after enrolling?"

Xiao Yu muttered to himself, "The last three tasks are to urge me to cultivate. The lowest purple level is to break through level 30 before graduation. I remember that Tang San and Xiao Wu were both level 29 when they graduated from Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. They broke through level 30 in just a few days after they went to Shrek Academy. That means the minimum requirement the system gave me is to keep up with those two."

Xiao Yu guessed that the reason why it was called the minimum requirement was because Tang San, who had graduated from Notting Academy, had not yet consumed any immortal herbs, so his cultivation speed was far from reaching its peak. In addition, he also had to forge iron to earn money at the academy, which took up a lot of his time.

As for Xiao Wu, as a reincarnation of a soul beast, she should have been the fastest cultivator among the Shrek Seven Devils. This can be seen from the fact that during the Soul Master Competition, the other six people took immortal herbs to break through to the Soul Master level, while Xiao Wu, because she did not take a similar Heartbreak Flower, was initially behind the other six. However, she eventually broke through to level 40 and reached the same level as the others when she went to Wuhun City to participate in the finals.

Therefore, the reason why Xiao Wu failed to break through to level 30 after graduating from the primary soul master academy was mostly because this rogue rabbit often spent his time eating, drinking, having fun, and causing trouble.
