Sun Moon Empire

Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu.

A thousand years ago, after the Sun Moon Continent collided with the Douluo Continent, it launched a war against the three empires originally belonging to the Douluo Continent in an attempt to unify the entire continent.

Unfortunately, that shit-stirrer Shrek Academy stopped it again.

Ten thousand years ago, it had stopped Spirit Hall from unifying the continent. In this era, it started interfering again. Tang San even shamelessly descended as a god and made the Sun Moon Empire change into the Heaven Dou Empire.

Huo Yuhao called his trash father worthless, yet held his own child hostage to threaten Ju Zi into withdrawing her troops. Good, the bloodline had truly been passed down.

Tang San was quite cunning too. He descended upon the Douluo Continent using Tang Wutong being traumatized as an excuse. Even the God of Destruction had no reason to stop him. After all, Xiao Qi was a child he and the Goddess of Life had watched grow up, so naturally, he could only turn a blind eye.

At that time, Tang San must have taken the opportunity to send Tang Hao to the Douluo Continent as well.

Jin Tianming gently stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

As he walked slowly, he leisurely admired the breathtaking sights of the Sun Moon Empire's capital.

The city was filled with a modern atmosphere. Its streets were broad and clean, while the streetlights lining both sides cast a soft glow that illuminated the road ahead.

Carriages flowed continuously through the streets, yet everything remained orderly, and traffic was smooth.

However, what drew the most attention was the technological development here.

The Sun Moon Empire had achieved tremendous accomplishments in the field of Soul Tools, far surpassing the other three empires and the region where Shrek Academy was located.

Their Soul Tool technology was exquisite and varied, covering everything from daily life to military defense. These advanced Soul Tools not only improved people's quality of life but also greatly strengthened the nation.

In the war a thousand years ago, the three empires of the Douluo Continent had united, with Shrek Academy aiding them, and ultimately defeated the Sun Moon Empire. After its defeat, it continued to vigorously develop Soul Tools, remaining decades ahead of the other three empires in that field.

Jin Tianming soon arrived before the gates of Sun Moon Royal Academy. After traveling for several months, he had finally reached his destination.

"Little friend, is there something you need?" Seeing Jin Tianming standing silently at the gates of Sun Moon Royal Academy, the guard asked curiously.

Jin Tianming came back to his senses and asked, "Sir, I want to enroll. Where can I register?"

"Enroll?"

As though he had heard an incredibly strange question, the guard looked Jin Tianming up and down again. The boy appeared to be only nine or ten. Squatting down, he said gently, "Little friend, you're not old enough yet. You need to be at least eleven to enroll!"

"Is there no exception for geniuses?" Jin Tianming asked the guard curiously. Then, two Soul Rings of different colors rose from beneath his feet, one yellow and one purple.

"A two-ring Soul Grandmaster?"

"A thousand-year second ring?"

Seeing Jin Tianming's Soul Rings, the guard was so shocked that his mouth hung open. What kind of genius was this?

He himself was only a four-ring Soul Ancestor even now.

The guard froze for a moment, then snapped back to his senses as though electrocuted. With a worried expression, he said to the child before him, "Little friend, stay here and wait for me obediently. Don't move around, all right? I'll immediately go report this to someone inside!"

Still uneasy, he added another reminder, "Remember, stay right here and wait for me to come back. Don't run around, understand? It'll be terrible if you get lost!" After saying this, the guard hurriedly turned and ran toward the academy, his rushed footsteps seeming afraid of wasting even a single second.

It could not be helped. Such a genius was exactly the talent the academy needed, the talent the nation needed!

Seeing the guard act this way, Jin Tianming's expression did not change in the slightest. This was exactly the result he wanted.

"Hm?"

Sensing something, Jin Tianming extended one hand and clenched the air before him. A vague, ethereal current of energy appeared in his grasp. "Is this fortune?"

He recognized at a glance that this was the fortune his main body needed. Though there was little of it, even a mosquito was still meat. He would send it back to the Sea of Consciousness later and have it delivered to his main body.

Jin Tianming did not have to wait long before the guard returned to the academy gates with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked somewhat familiar to Jin Tianming. Searching through memories from his previous life, he immediately knew who the newcomer was. Lin Jiayi?

Director Lin of Sun Moon Royal Academy.

Director Lin jogged up to Jin Tianming. Just as he excitedly reached out to grab Jin Tianming's shoulders, Jin Tianming reacted at once, stepping back and avoiding his hands.

That action also made Lin Jiayi realize that he had been too abrupt.

"My apologies, Student Jin. I was too excited," Director Lin hurriedly apologized. He chose to ignore the faint arrogance on Jin Tianming's face. Geniuses naturally had a bit of pride; that was perfectly normal.

The Hall Master's grandson was even more arrogant than the boy before him.

"And you are?" Though Jin Tianming knew who the middle-aged man before him was, he still asked politely.

"Lin Jiayi." Director Lin hurriedly introduced himself, then added, "I am the current director of Sun Moon Royal Academy. Student Jin Tianming, do you truly wish to join Sun Moon Royal Academy?"

At such a young age, he was already a Soul Master at ten, and he even possessed a thousand-year second Soul Ring! Logically speaking, a Peerless Era genius with such extraordinary talent should have gone to the famed Shrek Academy!

So why had he chosen Sun Moon Royal Academy instead?

Although Lin Jiayi found this difficult to understand, on second thought, how could Sun Moon Royal Academy possibly refuse the enrollment request of such a once-in-a-century genius? Not only could they not refuse, they should do everything possible to offer him a series of generous benefits!

After all, recruiting such an outstanding student was a wonderful opportunity any academy could only dream of!

It could not be helped. Sun Moon Royal Academy had countless genius Soul Engineers, but genius Soul Masters were exceedingly few and far between.

"Mm." Jin Tianming nodded. Why else would he have come here if not to join?

"Good, good, good! Then come with me, Student Jin. Let's conduct a test!"

Having completely confirmed that Jin Tianming wished to join the academy, Director Lin's gaze became even more enthusiastic. It was as though the boy before him was not a boy at all, but a piece of uncut jade worthy of the academy's careful carving.

Jin Tianming nodded. He could not have asked for more from an entrance test. It would reveal his current strength and let the academy know that they had welcomed a genius!

Director Lin led Jin Tianming toward the testing building, continuously asking him various questions along the way.

"Student Jin, have you studied Soul Tools before?"

"I haven't, but I'm really interested in them!" Jin Tianming shook his head, wearing an expression full of curiosity toward Soul Tools.

Hearing this answer, Director Lin smiled even more brightly. "It's fine if you haven't studied them. Interest is what matters. Even if you can't learn to make them, that's fine too. We can still learn how to use Soul Tools."

"Alright."

"..."

The two continued chatting and soon reached the testing building. Director Lin swiped his card and led Jin Tianming inside.
