Six Years Old, a Third Level Soul Guidance Master?

Hearing Xu Lin's tone, anyone unaware of the situation might have thought he had made a huge concession. In reality, he could not have wanted this more. "Letting him take a master is unnecessary. Yun Ze already has his own teacher and will not acknowledge another as his master." Gu Yue Na declined on Yun Ze's behalf. This teacher was fictitious, but saying so to outsiders could save Yun Ze quite a bit of trouble. "He already has a teacher? Who is it?" Xu Lin froze, disappointment flashing across his face. "My teacher does not allow me to casually reveal his name to others," Yun Ze said, adding another veil of mystery to this nonexistent teacher. "I see..." Xu Lin understood that he would get nothing by asking further, so he did not make a nuisance of himself. He was extremely curious about Yun Ze's teacher, speculating about his strength while feeling somewhat envious. "Yun Ze, I sincerely invite you to join our Sun Moon Royal Academy. If you join, I can guarantee that we will definitely cultivate you into a peerless powerhouse."

"Our Sun Moon Royal Academy may excel most at teaching Soul Tools, but in recent years, our ability to train Soul Masters has also improved."

"We may still have a gap compared to Shrek Academy, but it is not an insurmountable gulf. It can be bridged."

"To better develop your talent, we can specifically hire a Titled powerhouse to serve as your instructor."

"What I mean is that the person teaching you regularly will be a Titled powerhouse. There will be no teacher below that level."

"You should know that even Shrek Academy students cannot enjoy the treatment of being taught by a Titled Douluo every day."

"Such teaching resources are absolutely better than Shrek Academy's and more beneficial to your growth," Xu Lin said seriously. After speaking, he added, "I'm not trying to deceive you. As long as you agree to enroll, I will absolutely find you a Titled Douluo to be your instructor."

"I can guarantee this in the name of the president of Sun Moon Royal Academy. There is not a word of falsehood in it."

Xu Lin stared intently at Yun Ze, waiting for his response. He was determined to recruit this genius youth with innate twentieth-rank Soul Power. Such talent was simply astonishing; calling him the most gifted Soul Master on the continent would not be an exaggeration. If Yun Ze could be properly nurtured, he would definitely become someone no less impressive than Shrek's Yun Ming. He might even have a chance to replace him and become the Number One Under Heaven. Since Xu Lin had encountered such a genius Soul Master, there was no way he would let him go to Shrek Academy. No matter what, he had to win him over. Yun Ze was unmoved by the benefits Xu Lin had mentioned, as though having a Titled Douluo as his teacher was no benefit at all. "I do not need anything else. What I want is absolute freedom and the right to access the academy's materials," Yun Ze said. Xu Lin looked surprised, not expecting that these were all Yun Ze wanted. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I can agree to grant you access to the academy's materials. So long as they do not involve top-secret documents, the academy's materials will be open to you."

"As for the absolute freedom you mentioned, what exactly do you mean by absolute freedom?"

"It means exactly what it says. Absolute freedom. I hope that at the academy, I can arrange my own time."

"I do not need to attend the academy's classes, follow teachers' training arrangements, or have others interfere with my affairs."

"I will follow the rules at the academy and will not affect others. Likewise, I hope others will not affect me," Yun Ze explained his demands. There was no way he could attend classes like a child. It would be far too wasteful of his time. Xu Lin frowned, somewhat displeased. "Can you still be considered a student of Sun Moon Royal Academy like that?"

"If you study at the academy but do not attend classes or accept teachers' instruction, then what is the point of joining the academy? Is it just to browse the academy's materials?"

That really was the case... Yun Ze wanted to attend Sun Moon Royal Academy first because of its Federation Government background, and second because of its extensive collection of materials. For him, understanding the theory behind certain things was practically the same as knowing how to do them. If asked to put them into practice, he could do so skillfully. The methods of producing high-grade Soul Tools, high-grade Mecha, and Battle Armor within Sun Moon Royal Academy were all things he wanted to master. At that moment, Gu Yue Na spoke up. "President, Yun Ze made this request based on his actual circumstances."

"He has an eidetic memory and strong practical ability. Basically, once he understands the theory, he can put it into practice."

"His self-learning ability is extraordinarily impressive. Take Soul Tools, for example. Through self-study alone, he has completely mastered Third Level Soul Guidance Arrays and their inscription methods."

"Strictly speaking, he can already be considered a Third Level Soul Guidance Master, a self-taught Third Level Soul Guidance Master."

"This alone shows how terrifying Yun Ze's self-learning ability is. If he were taught by teachers, it might limit the expression of his talent, which would instead be detrimental."

"And that is precisely why..."

"Wait, wait a moment." Xu Lin hurriedly interrupted Gu Yue Na, rubbing at his ears as he suspected he had misheard. He asked in disbelief, "Did I hear wrong, or did you misspeak? Yun Ze is already a Third Level Soul Guidance Master? A six-year-old Third Level Soul Guidance Master?"

Xu Lin emphasized his words, his heart beating faster. If this were true, his understanding of the world would be overturned. Gu Yue Na's lips curled slightly as she said, "I did not misspeak. Yun Ze can indeed be considered a Third Level Soul Guidance Master now."

"If you do not believe me, President, you can bring him the materials and have him make a Soul Tool in front of you. That will verify the truth of my words."

Seeing Gu Yue Na's utterly certain expression, a bold thought arose in Xu Lin's heart. Could it be...

His gaze fell upon Yun Ze. He no longer looked at him as though he were a monster, but as though he were looking at a celestial being, at an unparalleled treasure. "If you really can make a Third Level Soul Tool, then you can treat the academy as your own home from now on. Do whatever you want."

"No teacher will interfere with anything you do. Even I will not manage you. I will give you absolute freedom." Xu Lin looked directly at Yun Ze, breathing rapidly. If Yun Ze truly made a Third Level Soul Tool, then forget freedom—he would have no problem even giving up his position as president. Having just said that, he abruptly changed his tone. "But if you cannot make one, then you must obediently study at the academy and comply with the course arrangements the academy makes for you."

"No problem." Yun Ze nodded and gave Gu Yue Na an approving look. Gu Yue Na understood the meaning in Yun Ze's gaze and smiled brilliantly. They had worked together well this time and had basically achieved their goal. "What materials do you need? Just say the word, and I'll have someone prepare them immediately," Xu Lin said impatiently. "Prepare one set of materials needed to make a Third Level Soul Guidance Ray Gun," Yun Ze said. "Are you sure? A Third Level Soul Guidance Ray Gun is no easier to make than some Fourth Level Soul Tools," Xu Lin questioned. He felt that Yun Ze was being overconfident. Rather than choosing something simple, he had picked one of the three most difficult Third Level Soul Tools to make. Was he not making things difficult for himself? "I'm sure." Yun Ze nodded, his calm expression containing absolute confidence.
