Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 34 Heading to the Broken Clan

"That's level 15 soul power!"

The crystal ball that Ji Wuming took out wasn't the low-level crystal ball used for martial soul awakening; it was the one used for enrollment in advanced academies, capable of testing soul power levels up to level 30.

Shouldn't the speed of soul power cultivation slow down considerably after reaching the level 10 bottleneck without adding any soul rings? How come A'man, who is at the bottom among the youths of Xili Stone Kingdom, also possesses a terrifying level 15 soul power?

And he's only about 11 years old!

"Level 15 soul power, which means I can absorb a soul ring!"

Ah Man was very happy about this. Counting on his fingers, he realized that the two spirit rings meant he had two skills. In addition, he had two self-created spirit skills: chopping wood and hunting. In total, he could use four skills.

Ji Wuming pondered for a moment, then looked at the excited Aman and continued to ask, "Based on my calculations, your current soul power and your black sword martial soul, and considering your talent, you are probably at level four or five innate soul power, as soul masters would say."

At this point, Ji Wuming couldn't help but express his heartfelt admiration. Even the lowest-ranking person in the Xili Stone Kingdom possessed innate level four to five soul power. So, how could someone like the child who first cleaved the wooden block after awakening his martial soul be so remarkable?

How terrifying must its innate soul power be?

"Master Ji, if that's the case, then I can get at least four more spirit ring skills in the future! So..."

Aman lowered her head again and started counting on her fingers. Ji Wuming was speechless. After all, Aman was just a somewhat civilized primitive man who was extremely obsessed with the number of so-called soul skills.

Seeing Aman's happy expression, Ji Wuming chuckled awkwardly a few times. Then he took Aman to hunt for her first spirit ring and carefully explained the process of absorbing the spirit ring to her.

Seven days later, as the ocean currents ceased their erratic flow, the sea spirit beast riot came to an end, and countless sea spirit beasts returned to their territories. Today, Ji Wuming officially embarked on his journey back to the mainland.

"Aman, there are some things I gave you in here. I still hope you can venture into the vast continent and see the real world of Soul Masters. If you want to go in the future, just follow the route marked on the map inside!"

Ji Wuming handed the soul tool he had won in the previous competition to Aman, then sat on the back of a five or six thousand-year-old Fierce Biting Shark, waving goodbye to the villagers who came to see him off.

Goodbye, Boss Ji.

"Master Ji, if you have time, please come and visit us more often."

…………

Under Ji Wuming's deliberate guidance, the Ferocious Shark swam northeast, deliberately avoiding the territories of some ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. It wasn't until sunset that Ji Wuming finally reached the shore.

Ji Wuming immediately headed towards the direction of the academy. A short while later, Director Lu excitedly ran towards him.

"I knew it! You, Ji Wuming, are incredibly lucky. You won't die at the hands of a mere soul beast."

"Director, hasn't the dean returned yet?"

Director Lu, with his arm around Ji Wuming's shoulder, walked towards the hotel and said to me helplessly,

"Don't even mention it. Ever since they went to the Blue Silver Forest to obtain their second soul ring, Bing'er's cold illness has been completely cured, and her cultivation speed has also increased significantly. However, the Xue family, who are also part of the Tianshui Alliance, have visited the Shui family multiple times to ask for Bing'er's hand in marriage."

"Fortunately, Bing'er has excellent talent, and her cold illness has been cured again. We have to thank you for this."

Suddenly, Director Lu took out several letters and joked,

"This is what Bing'er wrote for you recently. It's like returning it to its rightful owner. Don't worry, I haven't seen it!"

Ji Wuming took the letter, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, making him feel very comfortable.

"Alright, now that you're a Soul Master, my advice is to stop being a caravan guard, especially at sea. I don't need to elaborate on how dangerous it is. With your current strength, you should go to an advanced Soul Master academy in the interior! Tianshui Academy is a very good one."

Ji Wuming was speechless when he saw Director Lu mention Tianshui Academy again. This was the fifth time Director Lu had mentioned Tianshui Academy before he went to Xili Stone Kingdom.

Director Lu even tried to seduce him with the various beautiful female teachers and students, but how could Ji Wuming not know the true intentions of Director Lu and his group? They simply wanted to deepen his relationship with the Shui family so that he could be included in the Shui family genealogy upon graduation.

However, under the influence of Director Lu and Dean Shui, Ji Wuming had a very good impression of the Shui family, but he was sorry that he could not marry into the Shui family.

Ji Wuming bowed to Director Lu and then said, "I have my own path to walk. I will never forget Dean Shui's kindness, but I have no plans to join the Advanced Soul Master Academy at the moment. There are some things I need to do myself!"

…………

After catching up, Ji Wuming hired a carriage and headed south towards Tianxing Province in the eastern part of the Star Luo Empire.

Along the way, he saw countless beautiful landscapes, and then realized that staying in one place was indeed a bit boring.

This reminded him of the travelers from his past life; their lives were so rich and fulfilling, even their physical exhaustion was a happy kind of tiredness.

During this period, Ji Wuming also dealt with some uninvited guests who were deliberately seeking death—wolf bandits.

Two months later, Ji Wuming stood beneath a colossal city. The towering, silver-white walls, dozens of meters high, seemed to pierce the clouds. Several heavily armored soldiers stood solemnly on either side of the city gate.

"This must be Tianxing City. It's a pity that the Po Clan should be in the Tiandou Empire, but instead they have fled again and again, and now they are living in a city at the southernmost tip of this continent."

The latest novel is first published here!

Ji Wuming sighed and walked into Tianxing City.

"Bang bang bang..."

A dozen or so sounds of shattering glass rang out, and one man after another was forcibly thrown out of the store. Several of the seriously injured men even fainted. As for the passersby, they all ran away in fear, afraid that they would be affected by this incident.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people from the Spirit Hall swaggered out of several pharmacies, acting extremely arrogantly.

"Remember, your Po clan is forbidden from selling pills within Tianxing City. If this happens again, even if that old poisonous sheep of your clan recovers, we will not let you off easily!"

"Let's go!"

A man dressed in a black uniform, with the Spirit Hall's Black Bishop insignia on his left chest, looked at the injured Yang family members with great satisfaction and walked towards the Spirit Hall in a cheerful mood.

Ji Wuming walked to a pharmacy and helped up one of the men who was not seriously injured.

"Why are these people from the Spirit Hall so arrogant, daring to injure people in broad daylight? Doesn't the law of the Star Luo Empire apply to the city lord of Tianxing City?"

"Tube?"

The man glared angrily in the direction the Spirit Hall members had left, and said resentfully,

"The laws of the Star Luo Empire do have some effect, but they are only for commoners. Our Po clan deserves to be oppressed by the Spirit Hall, and this is all thanks to the Clear Sky Sect."
