Although the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy has not reached the grand scale of "one academy equals one city", it is already far superior to ordinary Soul Master Academy.
In stark contrast to the Shrek Academy, which clings to ancient traditions and seems stagnant in the old era, this place exudes luxury and efficiency brought by Soul Guidance Technology.
From the dazzling Soul Lamp to the constantly operating self-service soul-guiding facilities throughout the academy, the influence of Soul Tool has deeply permeated the daily lives and cultivation of every student.
On this day, the college welcomed a special new student.
Upon hearing that a gifted Soul Master had applied to enroll, Lin Jiayi, the Dean of Academic Affairs, personally came to receive him.
Lin Jiayi's face was warm, but his eyes held a scrutinizing glint. The Soul Engineer Academy, after all, must be based on Soul Guidance Techniques.
If he only wants to enroll in the Spirit Department, that's fine, but if it's the Soul Engineering Department, talent will ultimately be the deciding factor.
Without that talent, it would be a waste of one's potential in Martial Soul.
Now that the Sun Moon Empire has developed for so many years, it also feels that the current Sun Moon places too much emphasis on Soul Tool, making it difficult to produce truly powerful Limit Douluo- level experts.
"Student, please relax your whole body, there's no need to be tense."
Lin Jiayi gestured for the boy to stand on the sophisticated and complex Soul Tool Physical Fitness Tester.
As a gentle golden light flowed, the instrument quietly began to operate, and countless subtle soul-guided ripples scanned the boy's body, with data rapidly appearing on the light screen.
"Physical strength is equivalent to twelve times that of an ordinary Soul Elder; physical resilience is approximately four times the baseline value; Soul Power fluctuation is level thirty-eight; weight is seventy-six kilograms; left arm bone density is abnormally increased. Overall assessment."
Hiss~
Lin Jiayi stared at the scrolling results on the screen and couldn't help but gasp.
This is hardly the physique Soul Elder should have.
Even ordinary Soul King might not possess such formidable physical attributes.
He was secretly alarmed: Could this seemingly unassuming young man be some kind of humanoid Soul Beast?
Gu Yu scratched the back of his head, appearing harmless. "When I was little, conditions weren't good, and I often ran and worked in the mountains and fields, so maybe I'm quite strong."
After hearing this simple explanation, Lin Jiayi pondered for a moment.
If someone truly came from a poor background and endured hardships, it would be understandable that their physique would be different from that of ordinary people.
In this academy centered around Soul Tool, while it's surprising to have a strong physical body, it's not entirely impossible.
After all, every academy has a prodigy who excels at swordsmanship.
In terms of physical fitness, it's not unusual for someone to be exceptionally gifted, even slightly exceeding the standard.
He composed himself, regaining his serious demeanor as the Dean of Academic Affairs, and solemnly stated, "Your physical attributes are indeed outstanding, but since you've come to the Soul Engineer Academy, Soul Guidance Techniques are fundamental."
"Next, we will need to conduct basic operation and theoretical tests on your Soul Tool."
"Even if you have just a little bit of talent, you can at least become Soul Engineer, which will greatly help your development and avoid some trouble."
Yes, yes!
As the illegitimate son of a nobleman, he naturally had no access to Soul Tool.
According to the character's persona...
He had never come into contact with any Soul Tool.
so!
He can start showing off now!
His goal wasn't to study at some lousy academy, but to the Mingde Hall and gain deeper knowledge of Soul Tool.
Having been instructed by four or five Level 6 Soul Engineer, he is now disguised as having "zero experience" to test his Soul Engineer talent.
How can he not be considered a genius?
In the Observation Room on the distant high platform, several high-ranking academy officials were monitoring the assessment through a soul-guided screen.
"That girl with ice-blue hair is no ordinary person." An elderly man, not tall but somewhat obese, wearing a black robe embroidered with gold patterns, narrowed his eyes. "Her ice isn't ordinary elemental ice; it's closer to... Ultimate Ice?"
"The eleven-year-old boy at level thirty-eight is equally astonishing. His Soul Power is far more profound than others at the same level, and even faintly possesses the quality of Soul Ancestor," another middle-aged female instructor said.
"Have you checked their background?"
"An illegitimate son of a noble family who fled from the Dou Ling Empire, with a troubled past. His older sister accompanied him to school. There's nothing wrong with the records, but it just feels... too perfect."
The obese old man smiled slightly, "Isn't perfection good? The Sun Moon Empire needs geniuses. As long as they are loyal to the Empire, their origins are not important. Besides?"
"I really wish the Three Great Empires would send over a few more geniuses!"
To be honest, even within the Mingde Hall, there are quite a few people from the Three Great Empires; although the Sun Moon Empires are vigorously developing Soul Tool Technology and constantly elevating the status of Soul Engineer.
However, a large portion of the nobles who controlled the most important resources did not focus their attention on the research of Soul Tool Technology. Instead, it was among the poorest children that talented and hardworking Soul Engineer kept emerging.
As the highest institution of learning for Soul Tool Technology on the mainland, its assessment methods are quite different from those of traditional Soul Master Academy.
Generally speaking, except for a very few exceptional cases of genius selection.
For those who have no foundation in Soul Tool but possess talent in Martial Soul, the admissions teacher will proactively demonstrate the creation of a Level 1 Soul Tool.
The students only need to use their own words to explain the introduction they saw from the admissions officer about making Soul Tool.
In other words, the so-called interview.
Dozens of metal platforms were neatly arranged in the spacious hall, each containing different Level 1 Soul Tool components, ranging from the blanks of the Core Formation to the plating modules of the outer shell.
This might not be difficult for native Sun Moon Academy students who have been exposed to Soul Tool since childhood, but it is a hurdle for Soul Master from the Three Great Empires.
Gu Yu and Snow Empress exchanged a glance and walked towards their respective assessment platforms in tacit agreement.
As for the Auspicious Beast, she only studied the Spirit Department of the Royal Soul Engineer Academy, so she only needed to deal with a five-hundred-year-old Soul Beast.
At the assessment platform, Lin Jiayi personally demonstrated the complete production process of the [ Level 1 Soul Lighting Lamp ].
From polishing the Mithril Base Plate of the Core Formation to carving the Soul Power Circuit with a carving knife, and finally assembling the outer shell and injecting Soul Power to activate it.
The movements were fluid and smooth, and it was completed in just a quarter of an hour.
As the Dean of Academic Affairs and Level 8 Soul Engineer, he naturally possesses considerable strength.
He turned to Gu Yu and said softly, "Tell me your understanding."
Is it my turn to operate?
Gu Yu looked down at the scattered parts on the table, and after a moment of silence, suddenly reached out.
Instead of using a standard carving knife, he directly summoned his Martial Soul, which was a dark gold body with a long, narrow shape resembling a dragon's spine with faint crimson light patterns on its blade.
Under his control, it slowly shrank to the size of the carving knife on the table, and then began to carve on the brand-new metal.
Under Lin Jiayi's astonished gaze, a Core Array was successfully engraved on the metal, with the depth and curvature of the engraving exactly matching Lin Jiayi's demonstration!
And just like that, a simple Core Array appeared.
Lin Jiayi:?
