Soul Masters Are Not Nobles

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Captain of Team Six, without waiting for Zhou Qing and the others to take any further action, laughed loudly three times and said in a clear voice, "Truly a young talent, his future is limitless!"

"I am deeply moved by your indomitable spirit, so—"

"I'll give you the chance to advance to the Third Round!"

"I'm leaving! I'm not playing anymore!"

Immediately, to the astonishment of Zhou Qing and the others, the boos of the spectators, and the bewildered gazes of the Star Luo Royal Academy Team, Captain of Team Six leaped seven or eight times, pushed through the crowd, and disappeared from sight.

"He doesn't even care about his own teammates anymore?"

Tang San, having come to his senses, looked at the six members of Team Six lying on the plaza and said speechlessly.

"That's so irresponsible!" Xiao Wu cursed.

"Don't expect him to help with a hastily assembled team." Zhou Qing shook his head slightly, then called Tang San and Wang Sheng to help carry the six members downstairs, and asked a teacher with healing abilities from the Nuoding Academy for assistance.

Even a junior Soul Master Academy Soul Master Academy must be equipped with a Healing System Soul Master so that simple treatment can be provided in case of accidents involving teachers and students.

Academies without Healing System Soul Master cannot gain joint recognition from the Heaven Dou Empire (Star Luo Empire) and the Spirit Hall, and therefore cannot enjoy any official welfare or funding.

After receiving basic treatment, the six Human Dao Mo Hen, Zhou Qing, and the others, and then launched into a tirade against the irresponsible Captain of Team Six.

"It's nothing, we just went a little overboard, and we feel a bit bad about it," Zhou Qing said, scratching his head at the Battle Soul Master he had instantly killed.

"In the Soul Master World, what does it matter if you hit too hard or too hard?" The man laughed heartily. "Of course, for geniuses like you, you will definitely be able to enter intermediate academies in the future, and there is even hope that you can be admitted to the Advanced Academy through special admissions. That way, you won't have to go through the same mediocre life as us Commoner Soul Master."

Primary school, intermediate school, Advanced Academy.

Currently on the Douluo Continent, most Soul Master from commoner backgrounds, even if they successfully graduate from the primary academy, can only join the intermediate academy.

Advanced Academy?

Don't even think about it!

Without a certain status or background, Commoner Soul Master have to rack their brains just to obtain cultivation materials, which is not as convenient as for those from aristocratic families.

Once you graduate from an Advanced Academy Advanced Academy, you'll have a much more comfortable life than Commoner Soul Master, whether you become a free Soul Master or join a noble family and become an honored guest.

Therefore, in this person's mind, with Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu's talents, they might be able to enter those Advanced Academy run by those with backgrounds and influence in the future, and they might even be able to show their skills in the continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

It should be noted that students who can participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, even if they can't even get past the Preliminary Competition, are the most talented students in that Advanced Academy.

Anyone capable of performing will be sought after and praised by the dignitaries of the city where the Advanced Soul Master Academy is located, and upon graduation, they can become "stars" in that city.

"Advanced Academy? I heard they don't admit commoners?"

Zhou Qing then asked this question.

In the original work, the only Advanced Academy in Heaven Dou City that recruits Commoner Soul Master is Blue Tyrant Academy, which is out of place among the other academies.

Based on the fact that the pie of interests on the Douluo Continent has already been divided up, it's likely that the students enrolled by the Advanced Academy in other major cities are mainly from noble families, sects, and clans.

"We do recruit, but we require those with impeccable talent."

The man pondered for a moment and said Youyou, "Otherwise, it would be very difficult to enter Advanced Academy... I once saw a Commoner Soul Master master in a city who had reached the level of Soul Grandmaster at the age of twelve and whose two Soul Ring were both hundreds of years old, but he couldn't even get into the Advanced Academy."

"Twelve years old, Soul Grandmaster, and all with Hundred-Year Soul Ring, and he still can't get into the Advanced Academy?" Wang Sheng Sheng's jaw almost dropped to the ground. He couldn't believe that someone like this wasn't even considered a genius in the Advanced Soul Master Academy!

"No, such talent is actually quite outstanding. The Innate Soul Power is at least around level six or seven." Zhou Qing shook his head. "Even among the disciples of major sects, I'm afraid not everyone's Innate Soul Power can compare to that of Commoner Soul Master."

In the original work, there were also many twelve-year-old commoner Soul Grandmaster with two rings that were at the hundred-year level, who traveled thousands of miles to register at Shrek in Suotuo City.

With such talent, it's impossible for regular Advanced Academy in nearby cities to ignore them. So why did they go to the Shrek Academy, which was little known and only had a "reputation" in Suotuo City, instead of going to a nearby one?

Perhaps it was because of their commoner status that they were unable to enter Advanced Academy, so they wanted to try their luck at the Shrek Academy, which was rumored to recruit Commoner Soul Master.

Unfortunately, Shrek Academy follows an elite route. While it admits commoner Commoner Soul Master Commoner Soul Master, the requirements for them are much higher, to the point that most of them fail the assessment...

"Yes."

The man sighed, "But because he comes from a commoner background, has no one to appreciate him, no background, and no power, he doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the Advanced Soul Master Academy."

"Talented horses are common, but discerning judges of horses are rare."

Tang San sighed and recounted a story from his previous life. However, influenced by Zhou Qing's thoughts, he also gained a more thorough understanding of the situation on the continent. This was not a problem of not having a talent scout, but rather that the distribution of benefits had already been largely completed and was controlled by the empire, sects, families, nobles, and the Spirit Hall. The corresponding resources would inevitably be given to their own people first, then to those who were close to them and had interests in the matter, and only then to "others" who had no blood ties or interests in the matter.

To be honest, if Tang San were to put himself in the shoes of those high-ranking officials, he wouldn't share the benefits with others.

But now.

His position is that of "others".

Zhou Qing also knew a little bit.

That is the path for Commoner Soul Master to rise; it still exists, but it's slim.

But it is this slim chance that gives Commoner Soul Master hope, making them willing to believe that they are just unappreciated talents and that one day they will meet their "mentor".

But they never encountered it in their lives, and then left this expectation to the next generation, and so on... In this way, they were always ruled by the higher-ups, who put a lock on their minds, making it impossible for them to ever break free from this framework.

"However, there is a Advanced Academy in Heaven Dou City that recruits outstanding Commoner Soul Master. The conditions are relatively lenient, requiring only the attainment of the Soul Grandmaster level. But in a place like Heaven Dou City where land is extremely valuable, most Commoner Soul Master from other cities cannot go there. And the commoners there are mostly children from small families and sects, without any real noble titles."

The man sighed again. In his mind, the scions of those small families had a natural advantage in their Martial Soul souls, which was much better than that of ordinary commoners like them. As long as they didn't do anything foolish in the future, they would surely be able to enjoy the wealth and glory that Commoner Soul Master like them could never enjoy in their entire lives.

Zhou Qing was not surprised by this, after all, in the original work Blue Tyrant Academy, which only recruited commoners, also had a member of the Strength Clan: Tailong.

Without an official title or noble rank bestowed by the Heaven Dou government, even if one comes from a major sect, one is not considered a noble.

Just like the martial arts world in Tang San's previous life, there were various martial arts sects, independent of the imperial court, but they weren't entirely parallel lines...

There is a misconception about noble status in the Douluo Continent. In fact, Soul Master are not the same as nobles.

Within the Two Great Empires systems, there were two classes:

Social class: commoners to nobles, primarily based on the political system.

Status Class: Ordinary People - Soul Master, primarily based on the system of extraordinary power.

However, these two are not absolutely parallel lines, but they are not completely intertwined either.

Therefore, as long as Tailong of the Blue Tyrant Academy does not have a formal title, and the Strength Clan has not been granted a title by Xue Ye, he cannot really be considered a noble in terms of status.
