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 stopped Spirit Hall from unifying the continent, and in this era, it started interfering again. Tang San even shamelessly used Divine Descent to turn the Sun Moon Empire into the Heaven Dou Empire.

Huo Yuhao called his scumbag father trash, yet held his own child hostage to force Ju Zi to withdraw her troops. Good, the bloodline was passed down perfectly.

Tang San was pretty crafty too. He descended upon the Douluo Continent on the pretext that Tang Wutong had been traumatized. 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 they naturally had to 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 lightly stroked his chin and sank into thought.

He walked slowly as he took in the astonishing sights of the Sun Moon Empire's capital with great interest.

The city was filled with a modern atmosphere. Its streets were broad and clean, while the streetlamps on both sides emitted a soft glow that illuminated the way ahead.

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

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

The Sun Moon Empire had achieved tremendous success 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 diverse, 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 great empires of the Douluo Continent united, with Shrek Academy aiding them, and ultimately defeated the Sun Moon Empire. After its defeat, it continued to develop Soul Tools with all its strength, pulling decades ahead of the other three empires in that field.

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

"Little friend, what can I do for you?" 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, "Uncle, I want to enroll. Where can I sign up?"

"Enroll?"

The guard looked as though he had heard an incredibly bizarre question. He looked Jin Tianming up and down again. The boy appeared to be only nine or ten, so he crouched down and said gently, "Little friend, you're not old enough yet. You can only enroll once you're at least eleven!"

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

"A two-ring Soul Grandmaster?"

"A thousand-year second ring?"

When the guard saw Jin Tianming's Spirit Rings, his jaw dropped in shock. What kind of genius was this?

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

The guard froze briefly before snapping back to his senses as if shocked by lightning. With an anxious expression, he said to the child before him, "Little friend, just wait here obediently, and don't run around! I'll go notify the people inside right away!"

After saying that, still uneasy, he added another warning. "Remember, stay right here and wait for me to come back. Don't go wandering off! It'll be terrible if you get lost!" With that, the guard hurriedly turned and ran into the academy, his hurried footsteps seeming afraid of wasting even a second.

It couldn't be helped. This kind of genius was precisely 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?"

Jin Tianming sensed something and stretched out a hand, closing it around the air in front of him. A vague, intangible aura appeared in his grasp. "So this is luck?"

He recognized at once that this was the luck his main body needed. Although there was only a little of it, even mosquito meat 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.

Jin Tianming found the bespectacled middle-aged man somewhat familiar. After recalling memories from his past 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 was about to excitedly grab Jin Tianming by the shoulders, Jin Tianming immediately reacted and stepped back, dodging his hands.

That action also made Lin Jiayi realize that he had been somewhat presumptuous.

"Sorry, Student Jin. I was too excited." Director Lin hurriedly apologized. He chose to ignore the trace of arrogance on Jin Tianming's face. Geniuses, after all, having some pride was perfectly normal.

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

"And you are?" Jin Tianming knew who the middle-aged man before him was, but still asked out of courtesy.

"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 had already become a ten-year-old Soul Master and even possessed a second Spirit Ring that was rare in a thousand years! Logically speaking, an unparalleled genius with such extraordinary talent ought to have gone to the famed Shrek Academy!

So why had he chosen Sun Moon Royal Academy instead?

Although Director Lin found it difficult to understand and was full of doubts, on second thought, how could Sun Moon Royal Academy possibly refuse the enrollment request of a super genius seen only once in a century? Not only could they not refuse him, they should do everything possible to offer him a series of exceptional benefits!

After all, recruiting such an outstanding student was an immense blessing any academy could only dream of!

It couldn't be helped. Sun Moon Royal Academy had plenty of genius Soul Engineers, but gifted Soul Masters were exceedingly rare, pitifully few.

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

"Good, good, good! Then, Student Jin, come with me for a test!"

Once Director Lin completely confirmed that Jin Tianming wanted to join the academy, his gaze became even more enthusiastic. It was as though the boy before him was not a boy, but a piece of uncut jade worthy of careful carving by the academy.

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

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

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

"I haven't, but I'm really interested in them!" Jin Tianming shook his head, putting on 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 enough. Even if you can't learn how to make them, that's fine too. We can still learn how to use Soul Tools."

"Okay."

"..."

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