Three days later.
Long Zhanye's body has basically recovered.
He walked out of the infirmary and went straight to the teaching office.
Lin Jiayi was sitting behind the desk processing files. When he saw Long Zhanye come in, a smile immediately appeared on his round face.
"You're here? You're recovering well." He put down the file in his hand and stood up.
"The hall master has told me to take you to the Mingde Hall. Let's go."
Long Zhanye nodded and followed him.
The two walked out of the teaching office, walked through the square of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, and walked all the way to the depths of the college.
As Lin Jiayi walked, he warned Long Zhanye in a low voice:
"Mingde Hall is no better than other places. Everything you say and do here is likely to be monitored."
"Listen more, learn more, see more, think more, talk less - this is my advice to you."
"Especially, try not to communicate with your self-funded secondary students who are coming with you."
Long Zhanye nodded. "Understood."
Of course he understands what Lin Jiayi means.
Mingde Hall is the top secret of the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance research.
Any unnecessary contact with the outside world may be regarded as a risk of leaking confidentiality.
Soon after.
The two stopped in front of an inconspicuous building.
The building covers a small area, no more than 500 square meters by visual inspection.
The exterior is gray and looks like an ordinary warehouse, unremarkable.
If Lin Jiayi hadn't led the way, Long Zhanye would never have thought that this was the famous Mingde Hall entrance in mainland China.
"We're here." Lin Jiayi said and walked in first.
Long Zhanye follows closely behind.
After entering that ordinary building, Long Zhanye discovered that there was something special inside.
Lin Jiayi took him through three levels.
The first one was guarded by Spirit Master, and two middle-aged men with serious breaths carefully checked their identity documents.
The second one is the Soul Tool scan. A blue light sweeps from head to toe to confirm that no dangerous items are carried.
The third step is double verification of fingerprint and Soul Power. You need to press your hand on a special Soul Tool and inject Soul Power at the same time to pass.
After three levels, they finally entered the building.
Long Zhanye's eyes suddenly lit up.
What appeared in front of him was an arc-shaped hall.
The most eye-catching thing is the neatly arranged rows of elevators!
A total of twenty elevators are arranged in an arc shape. Each one is full of metal texture, silver-gray in body, smooth as a mirror, and can accommodate more than ten people.
Lin Jiayi took Long Zhanye into one of the elevators.
He scanned his identity card on a Soul Tool, then raised his hand to hold a handle.
The elevator shook slightly and began to fall slowly downward.
The whole process took nearly two minutes.
Long Zhanye silently calculated the depth of the descent in his heart.
Based on this speed and time, they would have gone at least a hundred meters underground!
During the descent.
The interior of the elevator is completely sealed and cannot be seen outside. Only a small white light brings some light.
Lin Jiayi did not speak or explain anything to him.
Just as he warned Long Zhanye before, listen more, see more, think more instead of asking more.
Finally, the elevator stopped steadily.
The door slid open silently.
Lin Jiayi nodded to him and walked out first.
Long Zhanye followed closely, the moment he stepped out of the elevator.
He was completely stunned.
"Ah--!"
Even with his determination, he couldn't help but let out a low exclamation.
The scene before our eyes is really shocking!
This is an extremely spacious hall.
The arc-shaped dome is twenty meters high. The entire body is covered with metal and exudes a cold luster.
Looking around, there are huge experimental tables, arranged neatly and extending into the distance, with no end as far as the eye can see!
Each experimental table measures five meters by three meters, which is surprisingly huge.
There are at least fifty pictures in this horizontal row!
And the number extending longitudinally into the distance is too much to count!
There are people busy behind most experimental desks.
They were either lowering their heads to study, discussing in low voices with their companions, or operating various sophisticated soul guidance instruments.
The entire hall was filled with a strong metallic smell and a slight buzzing sound of Soul Tool.
This is Mingde Hall?
It's simply an underground metal world!
"This is the real core of the Mingde Hall."
Lin Jiayi's voice rang in Long Zhanye's ears, and he whispered:
"The location where we are standing has not been monitored yet. But after we go down, there will be monitoring facilities everywhere, including sound monitoring."
He paused and continued, "This is Mingde Hall's main Soul Tool production base."
"I don't know the floor area, but it's at least equivalent to half of the total area of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy above."
"There are a total of five thousand experimental tables here, and there are more in the back that are hidden in the dark and can't be seen clearly."
"There are still about one-third of the vacant seats."
Five thousand experimental tables!
Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy is half the area!
Long Zhanye was shocked beyond measure.
Lin Jiayi continued, "It's not just the elites of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy and Mingde Hall who work here."
"It can be said that the strongest Soul Engineer in the entire Sun Moon Empire is here."
He pointed to the busy figures. "Some of them are interns from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy."
"They can only stay here for a period of time, and they need to go back to continue their studies after the internship."
"In the Mingde Hall, research is conducted in groups. The size of each group varies, and generally there will be no less than five experimental tables."
"In addition to these public research bases, those who have their own secret laboratories here must be at least Level 8 Soul Engineer or above."
Lin Jiayi turned his head and looked at Long Zhanye: "You should pay attention to the badges on everyone's chest."
"Mingde Hall Soul Engineer Badge, different from the outside world."
He took out a badge and put it on his chest.
The badge has Sun Moon as the base, with stars hanging in the air, and eight stars embedded on it.
"Sun Moon is the base, and the stars are hanging in the sky. One star represents the first level."
He pointed to his badge and said, "I am level eight."
Level 8 Soul Engineer!
Long Zhanye felt awe-struck. This seemingly mellow and kind dean turned out to be a Level 8 Soul Engineer!
"At the level of Level 9 Soul Engineer." Lin Jiayi continued.
"They are already the strongest existence at the national strategic level. They will be equipped with powerful force to protect them."
"There are currently four Level 9 Soul Engineers in the Mingde Hall, including the Hall Master. The Hall Master is the youngest."
He looked at Long Zhanye and said meaningfully:
"And most of the people who are doing research here can be said to be the disciples and grandsons of these four Level 9 Soul Engineer."
"I am no exception. So are you."
"My teacher is one of these four."
Long Zhanye felt huge waves in his heart.
It's been a while since I came to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.
But the information he obtained today was more than what he had explored in the past few months!
But he didn't speak, he just nodded frequently, keeping every word Lin Jiayi said in his heart.
