Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 7 Level 10

Two and a half years later, at the Soul Master Academy in Coconut Grove City.

In the early morning, after his morning exercise, Jiang Li stood there for a moment, stunned. The next moment, the fluctuations of his soul power breakthrough emanated from Jiang Li.

"Phew, I've finally broken through to level ten."

Two and a half years have passed, and Jiang Li's soul power has finally broken through to level ten, which was within his expectations.

But it's different for others. The Blue Silver Grass with innate level two soul power is already outrageous enough, its cultivation speed is also outrageous, and its theoretical level is also very high.

As the second largest city in the Heaven Dou Empire, Coconut Grove City's primary Soul Master Academy is mostly populated by nobles, with very few commoners.

Even so, only about twenty people broke through to the Soul Master level, and they were all from higher grades.

Furthermore, their innate soul power is around level three or four.

Jiang Li's rapid breakthrough was due not only to Tai Chi and intermediate meditation techniques, but also to the use of a simulated cultivation environment.

For the past two years, Jiang Li has been attending classes during the day and cultivating at night. When he doesn't have classes, he practices basic swordsmanship and studies theory. Now, his basic swordsmanship has reached the proficiency level, and his theoretical knowledge has surpassed that of his teachers. Moreover, his combat power is extremely strong, and he is invincible in the academy with just a wooden sword.

A simulated cultivation environment is a special cultivation place that can simulate various unique external environments, thereby helping Soul Masters or cultivators to choose the most suitable cultivation environment according to their own Martial Soul characteristics or cultivation needs.

For example, the simulated environment needed by fire-attribute soul masters is related to fire, such as lava from volcanoes or materials related to fire attributes.

For a sword spirit master, a sword tomb would be set up; for a wind attribute, a windy canyon would be created; and for a water attribute, a body of water would be built. Of course, the cost of creating a simulated environment is very high, and most academies cannot afford it. Most of them are located in advanced spirit master academies. But Jiang Li is different. His spirit is Blue Silver Grass, which is found all over the continent. He can simulate any place, which is why Jiang Li's cultivation speed is so fast.

Moreover, because Jiang Li's theoretical knowledge surpassed that of most teachers, they would come to him whenever they were close to making a breakthrough.

Jiang Li knew that cultivation was never something that could be done behind closed doors, but rather required guidance and exchange. Therefore, Jiang Li didn't mind others learning from him. After all, in cultivation, those who have achieved mastery are teachers; what's the point of just having a title if you have real skills?

Furthermore, it was just asking a question, which didn't waste any time, and after giving the answer, they received a particularly suitable spirit ring.

Gradually, more and more people came to see him, and Jiang Li was slowly called Master Jiang by the people of the academy.

Jiang Li was reluctant to be called Master Jiang, but he still enjoyed the process of being guided. After all, the purpose of learning knowledge is to benefit oneself and others. Besides, the name "Master" is a derogatory term, like someone with the surname Yu.

After more than two years of in-depth understanding of the mainland, he also understood what kind of person Yu Xiaogang was. Jiang Li could only describe Yu Xiaogang with four words: shameless.

Even if Jiang Li was unwilling, he was still respected.

Because most people felt that Jiang Li lived up to his reputation. Despite having a useless martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, he cultivated quickly, had high theoretical knowledge, and possessed excellent swordsmanship, making him a top-tier prodigy.

It's a real pity that his achievements might have been even greater if his martial soul hadn't been Blue Silver Grass.

However, what they didn't know was that Jiang Li's heart was never set on Blue Silver Grass, but on Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, one of the Ten Fiends.

"Tsk, I should ask Director Li for help in obtaining a spirit ring."

A glint of light flashed in Jiang Li's eyes.

This was the first spirit ring he absorbed, his first step into the world of spirit masters, and the foundation for his evolution.

Based on the theories developed over the past two years, this world is a world of background, bloodline, and talent. If you want to become stronger, in addition to matching your soul rings well, you also need to guide your martial soul to evolve as much as possible, because the martial soul is a reflection of bloodline and mind. Like a certain family with red-eye disease called the Legend of the Eyes of the Five Villages Mechanism, you have to rely on mutation to survive. For example, that rascal snake, others rely on bloodline, but he relies on technology and ruthlessness. There is also a certain puppeteer who transformed himself into a puppet and achieved a mechanical ascension through the suffering of flesh and blood.

So, in order to become stronger, Jiang Li decided to abandon his human form (join Glorious Evolution!). Although Jiang Li doesn't have any cheat codes, his greatest source of confidence is his memories from his past life. Even if he doesn't know the details of the events, he can still avoid risks through other means.

After making up his mind, Jiang Li packed his things and went to find the head of the teaching department.

"Oh, isn't this our Master Jiang? What brings you here?" Director Li teased Jiang Li upon seeing him.

Director Li is a level 46 offensive Soul Master with a halberd as his martial soul. He has been aware of Jiang Li's reputation over the past two years and has taken good care of Jiang Li in daily life, so the two have an excellent relationship.

Jiang Li rubbed his nose and said, "What master? I'm not a master. I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants to see the world. I don't deserve the title of master. Just call me Little Jiang. After all, there are always people more capable than you. The purpose of my visit is to ask you to help me obtain a spirit ring."

As a junior, no matter how famous Jiang Li is, he cannot be presumptuous in front of the strong. A Soul Master can be a nobleman, and in a small border town, he can even become the lord of a city. Moreover, many people only reach the Soul Venerable level in their entire lives.

"Have you decided what kind of spirit beast you're going to hunt?"

Director Li nodded. He wasn't surprised by Jiang Li's cultivation speed. He had seen from the beginning that Jiang Li was no ordinary person. Besides, it would be strange if someone with such advanced theoretical knowledge had a slow cultivation speed.

"I want a hundred-year-old azure vine," Jiang Li said calmly.

Jiang Li had already decided on his target spirit beast: the Azure Vine, a high-level spirit beast and also a high-level martial spirit. It possesses strong vitality and resilience, making it a perfect match for the Blue Silver Grass.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Although junior soul master academies can help students hunt for soul rings, they are mostly ten-year soul rings. Jiang Li dared to say that he wanted a hundred-year soul ring, which was also due to his own considerations. He felt that with his reputation, the academy should be able to help him hunt for a soul ring.

Director Li did not answer immediately, but instead considered it for a while, wondering whether he should help Jiang Li obtain a soul ring.

Jiang Li watched Director Li thinking without interrupting him. Since he dared to speak up, it meant that Director Li would definitely help him.

A minute later, Director Li decided to help Jiang Li obtain the Azure Vine. He frowned and said, "Okay, consider it my investment in you. But you should know that the Azure Vine is a high-level soul beast and an extremely rare existence. There used to be a hundred-year-old Azure Vine in the Soul Beast Forest nearby. I don't know if it's still there. You can try your luck. If you really can't find it, I can only help you hunt other hundred-year-old soul beasts."

"It's fine, any plant-based spirit beast that's a hundred years old will do," Jiang Li said calmly.

Jiang Li doesn't necessarily need the Azure Vine. If he doesn't have the Azure Vine, it's fine too. After all, there are so many plant soul beasts, and there are other alternatives. They can absorb things like the Vajra Vine, the Lonely Bamboo, and the Ghost Vine. However, the Azure Vine is the best solution, and the Vajra Vine is the second best.

"Alright then, pack your things and come find me tomorrow." Director Li was convinced.

Of course, he certainly wouldn't have agreed to this if it were anyone else.

At most, they could ask the academy teachers to help hunt down the first ten-year-old soul beasts.

Jiang and Li are different.

Despite his low innate soul power, Director Li was very optimistic about his future.

I believe that its future is definitely not going to be limited to one thing.

Who knows, maybe one day I'll be able to break free from the shackles of talent.
