Faced with a Choice, Two Divine Artifacts!

"Th-This was the kind of strength a three-ring Spirit Master should have?!"

Seeing the Great Strength Gorilla's arms destroyed as it wailed nonstop, Ma Yun could not help but curse.

"Compared to that 2,500-year-old Great Strength Gorilla, this kid looks more like a Soul Beast."

Jing Hongchen nodded slightly at the side, his face filled with astonishment.

The combat power of Sun Moon Empire Spirit Masters basically relied on all kinds of Soul Tools. Someone like Xu Tianming, who had tempered his body to such an extent, was simply unheard of.

"President Jing Hongchen, it wasn't easy for our Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy to raise a 2,500-year-old Soul Beast."

After withdrawing his fists and returning the long blade that had been stuck in the ground to his Storage Soul Guidance Device, Xu Tianming laughed loudly toward the spectator area.

"This Great Strength Gorilla has already been defeated by me, and I've crushed both its arms. Surely I don't have to kill it for me to pass the assessment, right?"

Since he had not killed the Great Strength Gorilla with that strike, Xu Tianming no longer had any intention of stepping forward to finish it off.

It was like how he would not be bored enough to deliberately step on ants on the ground.

"Of course, of course."

Jing Hongchen nodded repeatedly. Xu Tianming had already displayed his strength.

Although Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy was wealthy, capturing and raising a 2,500-year-old Soul Beast still consumed considerable resources.

Ignoring the various looks of amazement and admiration around him, Xu Tianming calmly left the Trial Grounds and walked over to the spectator area.

"President Jing Hongchen, you won't go back on what you promised me, will you?"

Only after approaching did Xu Tianming realize that Jing Hongchen's build really did resemble his Toad Martial Soul somewhat.

However, a Martial Soul was originally another side of a Spirit Master, and a Spirit Master's temperament would indeed be influenced by their Martial Soul.

"Heh, what kind of person do you take me for?"

Jing Hongchen stepped forward and patted Xu Tianming on the shoulder.

"Come. Let's discuss whatever you need in my office."

Xu Tianming nodded. After greeting Ma Yun, he followed Jing Hongchen into Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy.

Back when he had been outside the academy, Xu Tianming had not been able to see it clearly.

Now that he had truly entered it, Xu Tianming discovered that the scale of Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy exceeded even his imagination.

As they strolled through the campus, students in uniforms occasionally passed by them, while quite a few teachers who passed them bowed respectfully to Jing Hongchen.

Without exception, all of them secretly studied Xu Tianming with curious looks.

This gave Xu Tianming a firsthand experience of what it meant to borrow a tiger's might.

Meanwhile, Jing Hongchen was also secretly observing Xu Tianming's expressions and demeanor.

Seeing him constantly looking around like a curious child, Jing Hongchen could not help but laugh inwardly.

No matter how talented he was, he was still only an eleven-year-old child in the end!

After passing through the teaching buildings and a stretch of structures whose purpose Xu Tianming did not know, Jing Hongchen led him into an inconspicuous six-story building.

"Sit wherever you like."

The entire sixth floor was Jing Hongchen's office.

After inviting Xu Tianming to sit down, Jing Hongchen personally poured him a glass of water.

"Your mother already told me about your situation."

Sitting in the chair behind his desk, Jing Hongchen noticed Xu Tianming constantly looking around his office and could not help teasing him.

"My office contains the academy's and Mingde Hall's secrets."

"If you look around carelessly, be careful not to see something you shouldn't."

Xu Tianming could not help curling his lips at that.

"Even if I see something I shouldn't, President Jing Hongchen was the one who brought me here."

"By that logic, President Jing Hongchen, you're still my accomplice!"

What a joke. Did Jing Hongchen really take him for an eleven-year-old child?

Did he think he could scare him like that?

"I never expected someone as cautious as Xu Xiang to have a son like you. That truly is remarkable!"

Jing Hongchen shook his head with a smile.

"President Jing Hongchen, do you know my father?"

Xu Tianming blinked and asked curiously.

"I have taught at Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy for many years. Both your parents studied here as well, so how could I not know them?"

At this point, Jing Hongchen carefully looked Xu Tianming over before shaking his head again.

"I just never expected two people of ordinary aptitude to have such an extraordinarily gifted child."

Ordinarily, a Spirit Master's talent and Martial Soul were largely inherited from their parents.

One of Xu Tianming's parents was a Seven Ring Soul Saint, while the other was a six-ring Spirit Emperor. They also possessed two of the Sun Moon Empire's great inherited Martial Souls, so their talent could not be considered weak.

Yet in the eyes of Jing Hongchen, a Title Douluo and Level 9 Soul Master, they had become merely ordinary.

"Our Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy has two paths for training students."

As he began discussing serious matters, Jing Hongchen's expression gradually turned solemn.

"One path focuses on developing a Spirit Master's own abilities while also taking Soul Tool studies into account."

"The other focuses on training Spirit Masters in the manufacture, research, development, and use of Soul Tools."

"I once asked your mother for her opinion, but that girl Kong Yue said you were a child with strong opinions."

"Everything must be decided by you."

At this point, Jing Hongchen leaned forward slightly and fixed his blazing gaze on Xu Tianming.

"So, what is your choice?"

[Ding~ Detected that the host is about to face a difficult choice. God-Level Choice has been activated. Please make a choice according to your own wishes!]

[God-Level Choice One: Choose to focus on cultivating the Spirit Master's own abilities.]

[Reward: Divine Artifact, Angel Holy Sword!]

[God-Level Choice Two: Choose to cultivate Soul Engineer abilities.]

[Reward: Divine Artifact, Book of Curses!]

Hearing the mechanical voice in his ear, Xu Tianming could not help swallowing.

A divine artifact!

Since obtaining this system, this was the most generous reward Xu Tianming had ever received.

Why had Tang San gained enormous authority the moment he ascended to the God Realm?

Why had no god truly stopped him even after he repeatedly interfered with the workings of Douluo Continent?

Besides inheriting two Godhoods, another important reason was that he possessed two Super Divine Artifacts: the Seagod Trident and the Asura Sword.

The other God Kings, however, only possessed one Super Divine Artifact each.

Although divine artifacts could not compare to Super Divine Artifacts, they were still absolute treasures on Douluo Continent.

"The Angel Holy Sword... it's probably connected to Qian Renxue, the God of Angels who fell more than ten thousand years ago."

"Perhaps the Angel Holy Sword is even related to the Angel Godhood."

Xu Tianming's mind raced wildly.

"However, even inheriting a First-Level Godhood like the Angel Godhood wouldn't be enough to contend against Tang San, who is already a God King."

"Besides, an Angel Holy Sword that can't be revealed to the world is rather useless to me."
