At this moment, both Ye Wuqing and Yu Mengdi were extremely surprised by the conditions proposed by Xu Zhengyang. These conditions were beyond what Gold Soul Coin could measure, and for both of them, they represented a promising future.
For geniuses, the Martial Soul is only the foundation; the cultivation process requires a large amount of resources and top-tier Soul Ring, which are invaluable.
In particular, the 100,000-year ninth Soul Ring promised by Xu Zhengyang is unimaginable. It is a priceless existence. You must know that among all the Titled Douluo in the entire Douluo Continent, those who possess Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring are extremely rare. Only those who possess Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring have the opportunity to become true top experts.
Ye Wuqing remained silent for a while before speaking, "You've offered such a high price just so that Mengdi and I can become teachers at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy?"
Xu Zhengyang nodded. "It's that simple. If possible, you can also bring some other people. As long as they have talent and are willing to work hard, the conditions I proposed will apply. Even if they are teachers from your Zhengtian Academy, our Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy can provide the same conditions."
Ye Wuqing's expression changed. He instantly understood Xu Zhengyang's meaning. Xu Zhengyang seemed to want to incorporate the entire Zhengtian Academy into the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. It should be noted that the internal structure of the Zhengtian Academy is basically the same as that of an ordinary advanced Soul Master Academy.
The dean of the Zhengtian Academy is Ye Wuqing's grandfather, and the dean of studies is Yu Mengdi's father. It can be said that the core personnel of the Zhengtian Academy are basically from these two families.
In fact, this is basically similar to the structure of the Soul Master Academy on the mainland. They all have a set of inheritance frameworks, or more often family inheritance frameworks. In particular, the captains or main force of these academies mostly come from their own families, and a small number come from the noble forces that support the academy. There are basically no exceptions. Ordinary commoners, unless they perform exceptionally well, simply cannot enter the main team.
This is why Ye Wuqing was already a key player on the Zhengtian Academy Team in the last Soul Master Tournament. Ye Wuqing has always been groomed to be the captain, or rather, to be groomed to be the next dean of the Zhengtian Academy. Yu Mengdi's situation is similar.
This is also what Xu Zhengyang truly values. Judging from Ye Wuqing and Yu Mengdi's performance, Ye Wuqing, at nineteen years old, has already reached level fifty-eight and is absolutely confident that he will reach the Soul Emperor realm before the age of twenty. Moreover, he is not Soul Master cultivated with drugs like the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy used to be, which shows that his talent is strong and is definitely not inferior to Ma Rulong.
Yu Mengdi's talent is even more outstanding. Although she is only level 53 now, she is only sixteen years old and will definitely become Soul Emperor before she turns twenty. Unfortunately, she will not be able to participate in the next Soul Master Tournament.
The Continent-wide Soul Master Tournament is like this. Since it is held every five years, the captains and main members of each tournament are basically around twenty years old, unless the other disciples are exceptionally outstanding. This is because before the age of twenty, one can improve their Soul Power by at least two to three levels per year on average, and those with high talent can improve even more.
Like the current Class One, by the time of the next Advanced Soul Master Tournament, they will generally be between nineteen and a half and twenty years old, just the right age to participate in the Soul Master Tournament. With their current Soul Power Level, they will definitely become Soul King before the age of twenty, and may even become Soul Emperor.
After a long silence, Ye Wuqing and Yu Mengdi seemed to be carefully considering Xu Zhengyang's conditions, both pondering the present...
Given the current situation and future development, as Xu Zhengyang said, as long as they stay on the Douluo Continent, the Angel Clan will inevitably be the enemy of the three great empires and Shrek Academy. If they really cultivate to the ninth ring, they simply won't have the resources or the ability to obtain the best Soul Ring.
However, if one were to go to the Sun Moon Empire, there would be no animosity between the Sun Moon Empire and the Angel Clan; in fact, they would be enemies of the same kind. Xu Zhengyang's offer of such a condition demonstrates his eagerness to recruit talented individuals.
Ye Wuqing's expression was serious. "Why must you choose us? You should have many other options. We're just an academy now."
Xu Zhengyang shook his head. "It's not that I want to choose you, but that you need to be chosen. With your talent, reaching the Titled Douluo wouldn't be difficult for either of you. But do you have the resources? Do you have the strength? Or rather, will the Heaven Soul Empire support you in becoming stronger?"
Ye Wuqing thought for a moment before speaking, "This matter is too big for me to decide alone. I need to confirm with my grandfather. Of course, I also want to ask you a question: can you make decisions on all the above conditions? It's not that I'm underestimating you, but you're only a Soul Ancestor right now."
Xu Zhengyang and Xiao Hongchen exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.
Xu Zhengyang pointed to Xiao Hongchen: "Let me formally introduce them. These two people next to me are the grandson and granddaughter of Jing Hongchen, the dean of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy and the head of the Illustrious Virtue Hall. They are also recognized as the strongest geniuses in the Sun Moon Empire for thousands of years. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be the leading figures in the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Engineer world in the future."
"My name is Xu Zhengyang, and I come from the Sun Radiance Lineage of the Sun Moon Empire Imperial Family. I have a bit of a background. Even if I can't fulfill your requests, I still have the Sun Radiance Lineage and the entire royal family behind me."
Ye Wuqing and Yu Mengdi's expressions changed drastically again. They never expected that these three young men, around fourteen years old, would have such profound backgrounds and outstanding strength.
The Soul Master Tournament has already had four rounds, and Xiao Hongchen can be said to be the most dazzling presence among all the teams. At only fourteen years old, he is already Soul King, and his combat power is extremely outstanding. He is definitely a genius among geniuses.
Ye Wuqing remained silent for a while before speaking, "I agree to your request, but I need to go back to the Zhengtian Academy to confirm first. Zhengtian Academy doesn't belong to me alone; there are many related personnel there. Moreover, if we really go to the Sun Moon Empire, it will involve too many people. We must ensure our absolute safety, otherwise the Heaven Soul Empire will not let us off the hook."
"Furthermore, after going to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, we need to be independent and autonomous. We cannot be assigned any work outside of teaching, especially if the Sun Moon Empire and the Heaven Soul Empire go to war, we cannot fight against the Heaven Soul Empire."
Xu Zhengyang nodded. "Of course. As long as you are willing to go to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, I will ask the dean to establish a separate Martial Soul Department. At that time, you will be in charge of the entire Martial Soul Department. You only need to teach, and no outsider will be able to interfere with you."
"As for your safety, I can absolutely guarantee that the Heaven Soul Empire has no power to contend with our Sun Moon Empire."
After Ye Wuqing and Yu Mengdi left, Xiao Hongchen looked puzzled.
" Xu Zhengyang, aren't your conditions a bit too good? Zhengtian Academy has quite a few people, and if all of them—"
"Isn't equipping them with top-tier Soul Tool and helping them hunt for Soul Ring a bit too expensive?"
Xu Zhengyang rolled his eyes at Xiao Hongchen: "That's because they deserve our sacrifices. With Ye Wuqing and Yu Mengdi's talents, they are definitely Titled Douluo level. Our Sun Moon Empire hasn't produced many pure Soul Master level Titled Douluo in all these years."
"Moreover, the value of the Zhengtian Academy lies not only in the two of them, but also in their complete Martial Soul cultivation system. With this complete Soul Master cultivation system, why should we worry about the future of Titled Douluo in our Sun Moon Empire? Especially you, don't you want to truly achieve dual cultivation of Soul Master and Soul Tool? But do you currently have the cultivation method for advanced Soul Master?"
"As for Soul Tool, aren't you here? You can provide the Soul Tool for Yu Mengdi and Ye Wuqing from the Zhengtian Academy. Anyway, your Soul Power Level isn't lower than theirs. Making Soul Tool of the same level just requires a little raw material, right?"
Xiao Hongchen was speechless upon hearing this. "No wonder you were so generous; it turns out you've been plotting against me all along. There are quite a few people at the Zhengtian Academy; I'm going to be incredibly busy from now on."
Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but laugh, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to seize it. When Ye Wuqing and Yu Mengdi want to customize Soul Tool, shouldn't you spend more time with them? Although our Soul Power is improving rapidly, we've ultimately hit a bottleneck in Martial Soul cultivation. Zhengtian Academy is the key to breaking through this impasse."
Xiao Hongchen thought about it carefully, and what Xu Zhengyang said did seem to make some sense. Although Xu Zhengyang, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen all cultivated both Martial Soul and Soul Tool, Xiao Hongchen was obviously much faster in cultivating Soul Tool. He was already falling behind in the practical cultivation of Martial Soul. Of course, this was also because none of the three of them used any drugs to enhance their Soul Power from beginning to end.
Just then, Xu Zhengyang suddenly spoke up, "Dean, Elder Ma, since we've been stopped for so long, why don't you come out and take a look?"
As Xu Zhengyang finished speaking, two figures appeared in the reception room. These two were none other than Jing Hongchen, the dean of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, and Ma Rufeng, the team leader.
Jing Hongchen looked more serious than usual. " Xu Zhengyang, you asked me to investigate Zhengtian Academy, so it was to win over Ye Wuqing and Yu Mengdi, and you even want to win over the teachers at the Zhengtian Academy?"
Xu Zhengyang nodded. "Dean, isn't this what you've always been pursuing? Haven't you always been trying to cultivate true Soul Master?"
Jing Hongchen was silent for a while. "Our Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy is indeed training excellent Soul Master, because in order to truly create the most top-tier Soul Tool, you must have absolutely powerful Soul Master. Unfortunately, after so many years, our Sun Moon Empire has never produced Super Douluo, which has also prevented the emergence of a true Level 10 Soul Engineer."
"But is Zhengtian Academy really worth all this effort? The conditions you've proposed are far too high."
Xu Zhengyang shook his head. "Dean, quite the opposite. The condition of simply bringing Zhengtian Academy into our Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy is too low. An owner of an Angel Martial Soul, or even a family and bloodline of Angel Martial Soul, is far more valuable than a few high-level Soul Tool."
"Besides, if the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy can't accommodate us, I can simply petition the head of the Sun Radiance Lineage. I believe the Prince would be very willing to make that sacrifice."
Jing Hongchen carefully considered the gains and losses Xu Zhengyang mentioned. Just as Xu Zhengyang said, introducing the bloodline of the Angel Clan to the Sun Moon Empire was absolutely invaluable. This would allow for the continuous emergence of experts, and its impact on the Sun Moon Empire would be absolutely revolutionary.
However, Jing Hongchen still glanced at Ma Rufeng beside him. " Old Ma, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, you two go out first. I have something I want to talk to Xu Zhengyang about alone."
Although Xiao Hongchen and the other two had some doubts, they still left the reception room as Jing Hongchen had instructed.
