Time flew by. Since the major incident fifteen years ago, Huaxia had enjoyed a full fifteen years of peace. During those fifteen years, only a few low-level beast tides had erupted, and they were quickly suppressed.
It was now 2048. Companies centered around environmental protection devices had sprung up all over the country. However, starting such a company successfully was no simple matter.

Once they passed, they no longer needed to complete their remaining elementary school courses and could directly enroll in a Soul Master School.
At a Soul Master School, students had to study for five years before graduating. They could also choose to remain at school for further study after those five years, or attend high school after graduation and then university. Of course, they could also choose to graduate directly, enter society, and support themselves as Soul Masters.
Naturally, there were dozens of Soul Master Schools throughout the country. Among them, the most advanced was undoubtedly Eight Soul Suppressor Affiliated Soul Master School. After all, its faculty was the strongest of all the academies, with nearly ten Titled Douluo stationed there.
