Xu Zhengyang used a special Storage Soul Tool to store the Dragon Pill pill. He knew very well that he had no way to absorb the Dragon Pill at the moment, and it was even impossible for him to come into contact with it, because his strength was too weak.
As the Dragon Pill was put away, the once-hard dragon skeleton began to gradually collapse and eventually turned to ashes, as if it had never existed.
After Xu Zhengyang made sure everything around him was taken care of and all the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold was dug up, he started walking towards the cave entrance. He had completed the mission of obtaining the Soul Ring and even obtained an extra Dragon Pill -Dragon-Patterned Black Gold, making it a very fruitful harvest.
Dragon Pill are considered top-grade spiritual medicines, and these more than ten tons of Dragon-Patterned Black Gold are of immeasurable value, especially for Soul Engineer, as they are considered top-grade materials for refining top-tier Soul Tool.
Although the cave entrance was blocked, the obstruction was made of ordinary stones. Xu Zhengyang quickly used his Darkgolden Terrorclaw to cut the stones open.
This winter break was only a month long, and Xu Zhengyang spent almost all of it acquiring Soul Ring. He had spent far too much time hunting down the Scarlet Gold Earth-Splitting Tiger.
When Xu Zhengyang returned to school, it was almost time for the start of the new semester.
As the new semester begins, the number of courses in the department will gradually decrease, because those who can enter the third year are at least Level 3 Soul Engineer. The curriculum has also been changed, and all students will be randomly assigned to a mentor to lead their studies.
In addition to that, there is another thing to do at the start of the new semester, which is the annual physical examination.
After a month apart, it seems that Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen have both improved their strength to a certain extent, especially Meng Hongchen, who has actually reached the Soul King realm.
Among all the third-year students, only Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen reached the Soul King. Xiao Hongchen, in particular, even reached the Level 5 Soul Engineer. Meng Hongchen was slightly less advanced, but was still Level 4 Soul Engineer.
Even so, the class did not split up and is now Class 1 of the third grade. Everyone in Class 1, including Xu Zhengyang, is now at least Level 3 Soul Engineer. Moreover, judging from their situation, the other four Soul Elder have now reached the Soul Ancestor realm and are not far from becoming Level 4 Soul Engineer.
Such a significant improvement across the entire class is extremely rare in the history of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. In the past, a class might produce one or two geniuses, but judging from the current situation, a whole bunch of geniuses have emerged instead.
Among these people, Ye Shuangcan, Ding Xiaobu, Lan Xiu, Qiu Yi, and Ye Nongfeng have actually reached the Soul Ancestor realm. Of these five, four were already Soul Elder when they entered the academy, and even Ye Nongfeng has advanced from level 29 to the Soul Ancestor realm. This cultivation speed is much faster than Xu Zhengyang's.
Perhaps because of this rapid improvement, the entire class was not reassigned, and the school administration attached great importance to this class.
The first thing to do when school starts is still a physical examination.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen both achieved excellent physical test results. Xiao Hongchen's Soul Power had reached level 53, while Meng Hongchen's Soul Power was level 51. Both of them had reached the Soul Emperor level in terms of physical fitness, which was the result of their hard work in training over the past two years.
The other people's physical test scores were also very good. Their physical fitness was basically five to ten levels higher than their Soul Power Level. Although it was not as exaggerated as that of the Shrek members, their improved physical strength would give them a better future.
"Physical Strength: Level 70; Physical Resilience: Level 70; Soul Power Fluctuation Level: Level 42; Height: 1.91 meters; Weight: 81 kilograms; Left Arm Length: ----; Bone Age: 14 years old; Head Soul Bone Attachment; Right Hand Soul Bone Attachment. Overall Rating: Soul Ancestor, Physical Strength: Soul Sage; Physical Strength: Level 70."
When the test teacher announced Xu Zhengyang's score, everyone was stunned again. Although they had some guesses that Xu Zhengyang's test score would be outrageous, they did not expect it to be this outrageous.
The school's normal physical testing equipment can only test up to level 70, which means that Xu Zhengyang's physical strength has exceeded the limit of the testing equipment.
Even Teacher Xu Jie and the testing teachers were amazed. In the entire Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Xu Zhengyang was probably the one with the strongest physical qualities, even stronger than the Soul Emperor level students in the Illustrious Virtue Hall.
However, when Xu Zhengyang received the list of assigned mentors, a strange smile appeared on his face, leaving one unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Xu Zhengyang's assigned mentor was none other than Xuan Ziwen, Huo Yuhao's teacher.
Xu Zhengyang was speechless. Xu Zhengyang didn't know how to evaluate Xuan Ziwen. In terms of strength, Xuan Ziwen was definitely the top instructor among all the instructors of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. He was a rare Level 8 Soul Engineer was very passionate and rigorous in his research on Soul Tool. At the same time, he was strict in his teaching and protective of his students.
However, this person, as a teacher at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, and even a top Soul Engineer of the Sun Moon Empire, meticulously taught Huo Yuhao, a person from the Douluo Continent. He later joined the Tang Sect, indirectly aiding the enemy, and became the first Level 9 Soul Engineer in the Douluo Continent.
It can be said that Xuan Ziwen was a key supporter of the development of Soul Tool in the entire Tang Sect and even the Douluo Continent. He also brought the Soul Tool research system of the Sun Moon Continent to the Tang Sect, which led to the Tang Sect's later glory.
On the other hand, this person is absolutely a traitor to the Sun Moon Empire Sun Moon Empire the gravedigger of its decline.
Don't forget, Xuan Ziwen is no ordinary person. His teacher is Kong Deming, the father of Soul Engineer and the founder of the Illustrious Virtue Hall. The latter is also the Offering Hall the Sun Moon Empire. Xuan Ziwen's departure from the Sun Moon Empire is tantamount to betraying his teacher.
Just as Xu Zhengyang was struggling with his decision, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, who were standing nearby, also saw Xu Zhengyang's mentor assignment list and revealed a strange smile on their faces.
" Xu Zhengyang, not bad. It seems the academy values you quite a bit, having even specially arranged for an Level 8 Soul Engineer to teach you. Although Teacher Xuan Ziwen has an eccentric personality, his strength is absolutely top-notch, and he's extremely strict with his students. You'll probably have to spend even more time researching Soul Tool from now on."
Xu Zhengyang seemed a little helpless. " Xiao Hongchen, you know perfectly well that I've never been very interested in researching Soul Tool. I just focus on my studies and spend the rest of my time cultivating. Besides, I have a lot of things to deal with, and things are quite tense with the team lately."
Xiao Hongchen's face softened with a smile, "Don't be ungrateful. Your mentor assignment was definitely the result of careful consideration by the academy leadership. They probably just couldn't stand your lack of respect. No matter how strong your combat power is, we are, after all, the Soul Engineer Academy."
"Besides, the other students don't have Level 8 Soul Engineer to teach them, so you should be secretly happy."
Xu Zhengyang shook his head. "I originally wanted to continue learning from Teacher Xu Jie. Teacher Xu Jie is almost Level 7 Soul Engineer now, so he can teach me how to make Soul Tool without any problem."
Xiao Hongchen rolled her eyes at Xu Zhengyang: "You're so presumptuous. With your current talent and combat strength, the academy will definitely pay close attention to you. They certainly hope that you can cultivate both Soul Master and Soul Engineer skills in the future, especially since your Soul Engineer cultivation cannot lag behind. I'm afraid they want to groom you to be the future of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy."
"Although Teacher Xu Jie is good, his skills are ultimately too low, which is not conducive to your future development. Not to mention, there are special reasons why Teacher Xuan Ziwen is teaching you, which may no longer be a decision that the academy can make internally."
"However, I find it a bit strange. You've spent so much less time researching Soul Engineer than me, and far less than your classmates, yet you've reached Level 3 Soul Engineer so quickly. Are you hiding some secret, or secretly studying Soul Engineer knowledge in your dormitory?"
Xu Zhengyang was speechless upon hearing this. The main reason he was able to reach the Level 3 Soul Engineer so quickly was the existence of the External Soul Bone on his head, which gave him spiritual power far exceeding that of other Soul Master of the same level, allowing him to learn array inscription much faster.
After class, Xu Zhengyang went directly to teacher Xu Jie.
Professor Xu Jie seemed to understand Xu Zhengyang's purpose. " Xu Zhengyang, regarding the issue of your advisor assignment, this was not a decision I made, but rather the decision of the college and higher authorities."
Xu Zhengyang was also taken aback. "Teacher, I'm just a Level 3 Soul Engineer. How could such a thing alarm those important figures?"
Xu Jie shook his head. " Xu Zhengyang, you still underestimate yourself. As the class monitor, you should be aware of some of the internal affairs of the academy. Our class is the most outstanding in history, but there is another point: none of the members of the class have improved their Soul Power through secret medicines, but have relied on themselves to quickly improve their Soul Power Level."
"You're only fourteen years old, yet you've already cultivated to the Soul Ancestor through your own strength. This kind of talent is already extremely outstanding, especially within our Sun Radiance Lineage. You're also the most outstanding student in recent years."
"If it weren't for your low Innate Soul Power level, the patriarch would probably have personally received you long ago, and the entire family would probably have provided you with a lot of resources."
"As for having you study under Teacher Xuan Ziwen, I'll just tell you one thing: the Life-Bound Soul Tool you've been pursuing is related to Teacher Xuan Ziwen, or rather, to the person behind Teacher Xuan Ziwen."
Xu Zhengyang instantly understood what Teacher Xu Jie meant. Perhaps his combat prowess was too dazzling, and he had already attracted the family's attention.
Xu Jie continued, "There's another point. Given your current situation, you can't stay at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy forever. You'll eventually have to leave, and then you'll have more important tasks and greater power—power that belongs exclusively to our Sun Radiance Lineage."
Back in his dormitory, Xu Zhengyang was still reflecting on what Teacher Xu Jie had said. He realized that his vision was still too narrow, and his focus was limited to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. What could truly determine his future was the Sun Moon Empire Imperial Family.
"The royal family? Perhaps I should start thinking about the future."
