First Hearing of the Blue Silver Conference

Meng Xinghe spent some time tidying up and arranging his dorm room.

A row of bookshelves in the corner was neatly filled with commonly published books. The outward-facing window was opened to a suitable angle, the green curtains were drawn to the side, and the smooth, spotless desk held a lamp, several everyday Soul Tools, and a few thriving little potted plants.

He opened the wardrobe, hung several school uniforms and his usual clothes on hangers, and placed some daily necessities on the shelves, such as body wash and shampoo...

After finishing all that, Meng Xinghe changed into his school uniform, pulled out a chair, and sat at the desk with one hand supporting his head as he looked out at the campus scenery.

As he took in the peaceful, pleasant view, his mood gradually calmed as well.

He had graduated more than twenty thousand years ago, yet now he had returned to an academy to study again. It was quite nice. Though this was not the same world, it allowed him to experience the feeling of youth once more.

On the top floor of the administrative building, in the principal's office.

Yu Zhen happily recited his speech draft, then picked up a stack of documents from his desk.

"The Spirit Pagoda truly thinks highly of Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena. They actually sent two such outstanding Soul Masters to Eastsea Academy as temporary teachers."

The materials provided by the Spirit Pagoda contained detailed introductions to the two of them.

The two were husband and wife. The man was named Wu Changkong. His Martial Soul was the Heavenfrost Sword. He had once studied at Shrek Inner Court before joining the Spirit Pagoda. Now in his early thirties, he possessed the cultivation of an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

The woman was named Long Bing. Her Martial Soul was the Prismatic Ice Mirror. She had once studied at Shrek Inner Court before joining the Spirit Pagoda. Now in her early thirties, she possessed the cultivation of a seven-ring Soul Saint.

One was a Soul Douluo, the other a Soul Saint, and both were esteemed Battle Armor Masters. In terms of strength, they could crush every teacher at Eastsea Academy.

Moreover, since the Spirit Pagoda had dispatched these two to Eastsea Academy, their teaching abilities were beyond question. At the very least, they had received the Spirit Pagoda's recognition.

With two teachers of such exceptional strength and ability joining Eastsea Academy, even if only temporarily, his plans would be greatly strengthened.

At that thought, Yu Zhen could not help but smile.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin, who had taken the school shuttle, arrived at Eastsea Academy before Xie Xie, who had come by private car.

At the freshman reception area, a male senior from the advanced division was responsible for receiving Tang Wulin and Wan Yunchao.

He merely glanced at the chubby Wan Yunchao before focusing his gaze on Tang Wulin, whose appearance was even prettier than a girl's.

"You must be Tang Wulin, Junior Tang. Hello, I'm Chen Linchuan, a second-year student from Eastsea Academy's advanced division."

"Uh, hello, Senior Chen. I'm Tang Wulin."

The senior's enthusiastic attitude made Tang Wulin feel somewhat flattered. After replying, he asked in confusion,

"Senior Chen, this is our first time meeting, right? How did you recognize me?"

"Oh, that." Chen Linchuan frankly replied, "Your photo was in the freshman records. Because of your Martial Soul, the academy specifically arranged for me to receive you."

Martial Soul? Was he talking about Blue Silver Grass?

Then...

"Senior Chen, could it be that your Martial Soul..." Tang Wulin voiced his guess.

"That's right. Just as you thought, my Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass."

Chen Linchuan introduced himself. "Unlike ordinary Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters, my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was fortunate enough to possess a trace of Blue Silver King bloodline. That is why my Innate Soul Power reached rank five. This year, I'm sixteen years old and a rank-thirty-five control-type battle Soul Elder."

"Junior Tang, as a fellow Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul wielder, your talent surpasses mine. Your Innate Soul Power was as high as rank seven, and you became a Soul Grandmaster at nine. You've truly brought honor to us Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters."

After saying that, Chen Linchuan led Tang Wulin and Wan Yunchao into Eastsea Academy.

Eastsea Academy was a large academy qualified to provide both intermediate and advanced education. It was therefore divided into an intermediate division and an advanced division, and Chen Linchuan was a student of the advanced division.

The advanced division occupied one-third of Eastsea Academy on its western side, while the intermediate division occupied the remaining two-thirds on the eastern side.

Tang Wulin would be studying in the intermediate division on the eastern side of Eastsea Academy.

As they walked, Chen Linchuan explained why he had been assigned to receive Tang Wulin.

"Junior Tang, have you heard of the Blue Silver Conference?"

Seeing Tang Wulin honestly shake his head, he continued, "It's fine if you haven't. After all, it's a grand event held once every ten years. When the previous Blue Silver Conference was held, Junior Tang, you hadn't even been born yet."

"The origins of the Blue Silver Conference are a long story, so I'll keep it brief."

"Anyone who has studied history knows that the Douluo Continent beneath our feet was formed ten thousand years ago when the Douluo Continent and the Sun-Moon Continent collided and fused. The Blue Silver Grass Soul Beast clan also gave birth to two Blue Silver Emperors."

"One was the Blue Silver Emperor of our Douluo Continent, a male. The other was the Blue Silver Emperor of the Sun-Moon Continent, a female, and was therefore also called the Blue Silver Empress."

"The Blue Silver Emperor lived in the Blue Silver Forest, and the Blue Silver Empress was also relocated here under the arrangements of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Spirit Pagoda. With the bloodlines of the two Blue Silver Emperors gathered together, the power of their imperial bloodlines greatly benefited all the Blue Silver Grass in the entire Blue Silver Forest. For Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters, this was an incomparable opportunity. Countless Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters came here by reputation to receive the bloodline blessings of the two Blue Silver Emperors. That was the original Blue Silver Conference."

"Gradually, the Blue Silver Conference became standardized and formalized. It was held once every ten years, and Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters from across the entire Federation could attend this grand event for free. Through the bloodline resonance of the two Blue Silver Emperors and countless Blue Silver Grass plants, the bloodline potential of a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could be stimulated and enhanced without any side effects."

"A Blue Silver Grass Soul Master can only attend the Blue Silver Conference once in their lifetime. Every conference draws several thousand Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters. The Federation covers the round-trip travel costs, ensuring that impoverished Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters do not miss the conference simply because they cannot afford the journey."

"When the previous Blue Silver Conference was held, I was already six years old. But because it was not yet the annual Awakening Day, I had not awakened my Martial Soul and missed it. I could only wait for the next one."

As Tang Wulin listened, his thoughts stirred. He spoke with Brother Huo in his heart and confirmed that everything Senior Chen had said was true.

"Senior Chen, the Blue Silver Conference is held once every ten years. Then, judging by the timing, the next conference should be starting soon, right?"

"Mm, there are probably about six months left." Chen Linchuan's face was filled with anticipation and longing. "The next Blue Silver Conference will happen right when our winter break begins."

"Junior Tang, when the time comes, how about the two of us travel to the Blue Silver Forest together?"

"Sure." Tang Wulin could think of no reason to refuse and readily agreed.

After hearing the introduction to the Blue Silver Conference and receiving Brother Huo's confirmation, he was filled with anticipation for the event.

His Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had already undergone Martial Soul Evolution once and awakened a trace of high-grade Blue Silver Grass bloodline. This so-called Blue Silver Conference should be able to evolve his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul into a Blue Silver King, right?
