Starting Out as a Soul Emperor

Douluo Continent, Baroque Kingdom... Sky Spirit City!

A magnificent academy stood in the heart of Sky Spirit City.

It was both the symbol and landmark of Sky Spirit City!

It was also Odd Weapons Academy, one of the Baroque Kingdom's only three advanced academies!

This academy was exceptionally unusual!

It specialized in recruiting Weapon Soul Masters, and the more eccentric their Martial Souls were, the better!

Such as Moon Blades, Dragon Staffs, Snake Lances, sickles, Tortoise Shells, Cauldrons, zithers, Carrying Poles, Nail Rakes—even Rolling Pins and Soup Ladles!

It was said that several hundred years ago, the people who founded this academy had all been Soul Masters with exceptionally eccentric Martial Souls.

That was why this "fine tradition" had come to exist!

Here, one could see all sorts of bizarre Martial Souls.

After all, Odd Weapons Academy boasted that there were no strangest Martial Souls, only stranger ones.

At this moment, inside the instructors' office of Odd Weapons Academy.

A man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight sat there blankly. Two sets of instructor uniforms lay on the desk before him.

It was not that the uniforms were particularly interesting, but rather that a mechanical voice had sounded in his mind: "Ding! Detected that the host has become a glorious instructor. System activated."

Immediately afterward, a character panel appeared.

Host: Si Tingxuan

Age: 28

Martial Souls: Ice Flame Dual Swords. Companion Martial Souls: weaker than Twin Martial Souls, but capable of using two Martial Souls simultaneously. Due to their high Martial Soul compatibility, the Soul Skills of the two Martial Souls can be fused. Soul Power consumption doubles, while power increases dramatically! Reference: Xie Xie!

Talent: Innate Full Soul Power

Soul Power: Level 62

Soul Rings: Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black

Soul Bone: None

Affiliated Academy: Odd Weapons Academy

Main Quest: Accept a disciple with Innate Soul Power of Level Seven and an Eccentricity Level Seven Martial Soul.

Quest Reward: Soul Power raised by three levels, one Soul Bone, martial arts techniques Icy Palm and Fire God Palm! Special item: Martial Soul Compatibility Device!

Holy shit... what the hell!

Si Tingxuan froze for a moment before shock filled his face. Had he not always been so composed, he would have jumped up in celebration.

A system!

He had never expected there to be a system. He had thought he would have to rely on his talent to make a living, but who would have thought...

Still, if someone transmigrated without even getting a system, that would be far too miserable.

And these rewards were ridiculously generous—Soul Power, a Soul Bone, martial arts techniques... But what the hell was this Martial Soul Compatibility Device?

Even as Si Tingxuan rejoiced, he was somewhat bewildered.

Just then, someone emerged from a small room within the large office and entered his little office.

When he reached Si Tingxuan's side, he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Tingxuan, student registration is about to begin today. Get ready!"

Only then did Si Tingxuan snap out of his delight!

Looking up, he saw an elderly man whose instructor uniform bore a Golden Serpent Sword on its chest.

At Odd Weapons Academy, whether it was an instructor's uniform or a student's uniform, the wearer's Martial Soul was embroidered over the left chest.

Instructors wore white, while students wore blue!

This man was the strongest person in Odd Weapons Academy aside from the dean.

He was also Serpent Elder Meng Tiancheng, the director of instruction and one of the academy's three Soul Emperors!

A Level 68 assault-type Battle Soul Master!

Si Tingxuan sighed inwardly. Compared to the advanced academies of the two great empires, where Soul Sages and Soul Douluos seemed to appear at every turn...

The advanced academies of the Baroque Kingdom were far inferior.

The deans of the three major academies were merely Soul Sages, let alone the instructors. It could not be helped; the Baroque Kingdom was only a small kingdom!

The strongest person in the entire kingdom was merely a Soul Douluo.

Si Tingxuan stood up. "Serpent Elder, I'll go right away!"

As he spoke, he removed his outer clothes and put on the instructor uniform from the desk.

Serpent Elder looked at the newly changed Si Tingxuan and nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad. You look a bit like an instructor now!"

"I heard you're planning to establish an elite class?"

Si Tingxuan replied, "Yes."

As it happened, he had originally intended to form an elite group of seven like Shrek's.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to accept an entire class like ordinary instructors did. He would not accept anyone whose Innate Soul Power had not reached Level Seven.

He had never expected the system to arrive now as well!

With this, he would be even less likely to accept students indiscriminately. If he accepted anyone, it would naturally be those who met the system's requirements.

Ordinary people naturally had no authority to establish some elite class, but he was Si Tingxuan—the youngest Soul Emperor on the entire continent.

A Soul Emperor at twenty-eight had broken the record of that legendary figure who had long vanished from public view: Tang Hao.

Thus, Si Tingxuan held an extremely important position throughout the academy and even the entire Baroque Kingdom.

Because in the future, he might become the Baroque Kingdom's first Titled Douluo!

Based on that alone, even members of the royal family would show him considerable respect.

For no other reason than that a Titled Douluo was far too important to Baroque. With a Titled Douluo...

Even the Baroque King's standing would rise considerably.

It might not compare with the two great empires!

But among the many kingdoms, it would at least stand at the very top, and no one would dare provoke it!

What was more, with Si Tingxuan's extraordinary strength, surpassed only by the dean and the man before him, no one in the academy dared gossip about him.

In this world where strength was revered, talent and power were one's capital!

Serpent Elder, however, wore an approving smile. "Good! The dean and I both support you, but if you're going to do it, do it properly."

Si Tingxuan's face was cold and proud. "I won't accept anyone below Innate Soul Power Level Seven. Better lacking than indiscriminate!"

Serpent Elder was slightly stunned upon hearing that.

Such standards might have been normal in the two great empires. Which of their various teams did not require Innate Level Seven or above?

But the Baroque Kingdom was small and sparsely populated. This was no ordinary requirement.

Yet he quickly began smiling again. "You've got great ambition! But I like it. The dean and I both support you!"

Si Tingxuan finally said, "Only ambition gives one motivation."

After saying that, he straightened his clothes and walked out.

Watching Si Tingxuan's departing figure, Serpent Elder narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Only ambition gives one motivation..."

After savoring those words, Serpent Elder's eyes became exceptionally bright. He praised, "Well said!"

Then he added, "Heh heh. Perhaps before long, my Odd Weapons Academy will leap up to become the foremost of the three great academies!"

As Si Tingxuan walked toward the academy gates, he muttered, "I hope the students registering this time won't disappoint me! At the very least, there should be one who meets the requirements. Otherwise, this will be troublesome."

Since the system had issued a quest, he could only place his hopes on today's academy registration.

Odd Weapons Academy's registration day was an annual grand occasion for the eighteen cities, large and small, surrounding Sky Spirit City.

Every time it was held, countless talented people rushed over to participate.

Although Odd Weapons Academy ranked only at the bottom among Baroque's three major advanced academies, in the cities near the Tianling Mountain Range...
