Chapter 403: The Real Inner Courtyard

Every morning, he went to the library to read and study.

In the afternoon, when he went to the laboratory, Sun Mingfeng or Luo Hongchen would explain to him the problems he encountered in self-study.

After dinner in the evening, continue to go to the library, organize what you have learned that day, and continue to study.

Occasionally, when I am tired of studying, I relax for a while, and go to cook a meal for Jin Zheng to pay off the bill.

Over time, he simply didn't go back to the dormitory.

Anyway, there is no one in the library, where is it not meditation to meditate?

With the permission of the administrator, he simply moved a bed over.

If the study progress is going well that day, go back to the dormitory to wash up, and then go to the cultivation area to practice.

If the progress of the study is not going well or the learning is on the rise, I will stay in the library.

When you are tired, meditate for a while, lie down and sleep or something to regain your energy, and then continue.

Go back to the dormitory early in the morning to wash up and clean up.

In this kind of study and life, Xia Ling learned almost all the basic knowledge in just one month.

But he didn't stop.

He continued to spend another two months reading all the books in the library of the outer courtyard before giving up.

The more she looked back, the less dust there was on the shelves and on the books.

Not because someone reads it, but because the book is newly compiled and has only been in for a short time.

This is a good thing, which means that the Sun Moon Empire's Royal Soul Master Academy is still researching new things and compiling them into a book.

For example, those high-level academies on the Douluo Continent, basically no one is engaged in research work.

Except for the Martial Spirit Hall and the library of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect, books from hundreds of years ago can be regarded as new things.

For example, the general history of the mainland that Old Jack spent a lot of money to buy before, but he didn't know that he had turned dozens of old antiques.

But it's a pity that during these three months of library life, Xia Ling didn't meet any of the students who came to read.

The knowledge summed up by these predecessors who don't know how many detours they have taken has been dusted on the bookshelf.

It has to be said that this is a sadness.

In these three months, Xia Ling has learned almost all the basic knowledge of soul guides by himself, and is ready to step into the practical process.

However, Xia Ling's study of forgetting to sleep and eat has made some of the students in the inner courtyard suffer.

There were very few people who ate the summer spirit craft that day.

This comes and goes, and if you haven't eaten it, you want to taste what kind of fairy taste it is.

And I have eaten the food he cooked, and I have been thinking about it again.

It's a pity that Xia Ling doesn't show up in the cafeteria, and they can't help it.

......

Just a few days ago, the investigation team sent by the Sun Moon Empire's Royal Soul Master Academy, as well as Luo Hongchen's friend, also returned to the academy one after another.

The results of the two sides were strikingly consistent.

Xia Ling's self-reported identity is basically consistent with the results of the investigation.

The whole village of Qianjia Village was slaughtered, and the tombstone left by Xia Ling was found at the scene.

Around the village, traces of the Evil Soul Master were indeed found.

These two findings are almost certain that Xia Ling is not lying.

The Sun Moon Empire is not like the Douluo Continent, it has a characteristic product such as the Soul Hunting Forest.

If a soul master has not registered through official channels, nor has he traded or studied through any official channels, then it is basically impossible to find out what he has experienced.

Coupled with the sparsely populated people in the south of the Sun and Moon Empire near the sea, there has been no official personnel in Qianjia Village for more than 20 years to register personnel, and it is normal for the name Qian Chaoguang not to be registered in the file.

Judging from the files of Qianjia Village found by the border office, what Xia Ling said about the mutation of the martial soul can basically be matched.

A few decades ago, an outsider came to Qianjia Village, and the martial soul was indeed a lizard with meager true dragon blood.

He married a wife and had children in Qianjia Village, and later his son changed his surname to Qian, but no innate soul power was detected.

And the ring that Xia Ling was wearing on his hand happened to be what the Lizard Martial Soul Master left back then.

Through various comparisons, it can be concluded that Xia Ling's life experience is very innocent and can be cultivated with confidence.

After hearing this result, Luo Hongchen's heart breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this disciple of his own is indeed just a simple talent demon, and he is not an undercover agent sent by the emperor to infiltrate and master the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The college side is also excited.

In the past three months, the terrifying talent and amazing deeds of the summer spirit have also reached the ears of the school's top management.

Extreme power golden dragon martial soul.

Incredible learning speed.

Dishes that are so delicious that you bite off your tongue.

A sixteen-year-old craftsman a few months away.

Every single one of these is causing a spook at the school.

Well, now, these scares have completely turned into surprises.

The appearance of the summer spirit made these eighth-level old guys see the hope of the soul master's future.

With such a genius here, why worry that the soul master can't break through the ninth level?

In order to let Xia Lingneng grow as soon as possible, they decided to greatly increase his rare metal quota after he passed the assessment and officially entered the inner courtyard.

Without disappointing Luo Hongchen and the high-level leaders of the Sun and Moon Empire's Royal Soul Master Academy, Xia Ling put forward the assessment requirements after only one meeting.

A month of actual operation, what can it do?

Xia Ling told them with facts what a true genius is.

During this month, Xia Ling first spent seven days of hard work, using soul forging level spirit alloy to create a carving knife for himself.

In the process of building, he didn't let anyone see it.

When the carving knife was built, Luo Hongchen was shocked.

If he didn't care about his face as a teacher, he would have wanted Xia Ling to make him a handful.

In this regard, Xia Ling had already prepared in advance.

With such a formation carving knife, he made three additional ones.

Luo Hongchen, Sun Mingfeng, Jin Zheng, everyone has a share.

This made the three of them very happy.

Especially Luo Hongchen.

He took this carving knife and chattered with the other eighth-level soul masters for a while, shouting that he had accepted a good apprentice, and wrote the word show off directly on his face.

Ignore the ups and downs outside.

For the next twenty-three days, Summer Spirit lived almost exclusively in the laboratory.

He began to use ordinary metal, and practiced a lot of inscribed core circles.

Before you start making a soul guide, it's essential to practice with other objects as references, even the Summer Spirit.

Although Xia Ling is very talented in this Dao, he is not a lithography machine after all.

If you are human, you can make mistakes.

It's absolutely impossible to talk about it on paper.

Therefore, a lot of familiarization practice is absolutely necessary.

In the blink of an eye, January has passed, and the summer spirit has broken through.

The academic year of the Sun Moon Empire's Royal Soul Master Academy has come to an end, and the final test and vacation time are about to come.

Before the holiday, Xia Ling submitted an assessment application to Luo Hongchen.

He has to apply for the assessment of the soul master level, and at the same time, he also has to apply for the formal assessment of entering the inner court.

Although the upper echelons of the academy were a little surprised, the speed of approval was very fast.

Under the green light of many high-level officials, Xia Ling submitted the application last night, and Sun Mingfeng had already given him the approval result the next morning.

For Xia Ling's four-month learning results, the senior management of the college can be said to be extremely expected.

Many eighth-level soul masters wanted to see how far this extremely talented demon could reach in just four months.

Generally speaking, with only four months of study, it is difficult to make a leap and bound.

Being able to go from being ignorant to becoming a qualified soul guide apprentice is already an extremely remarkable speed.

As for the assessment of the inner court?

That would require at least a fourth-level soul master or above.

Although no one believed that the Summer Spirit could reach the fourth level in four months, so what?

He'll be there sooner or later anyway.

Only Luo Hongchen knew that his disciple could not only advance to the first and second level soul masters.

What kind of monster is it that can do zero error hand rubbing the second-level soul guide core without any foundation?

Summer Spirit can become a fourth-level soul master, Luo Hongchen will not be surprised at all.

Not to mention level four.

As long as he carefully memorized a mid-level soul guide structure, it was not impossible for him to rank five.

Under the leadership of Sun Mingfeng, the two brothers walked towards a building in the inner courtyard.

This assessment will be conducted under the watchful eyes of many seventh- and eighth-level soul masters.

The true core building of the inner courtyard is located in the center of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

On the surface, it's just an inconspicuous building.

But when Xia Ling actually walked into it, he found that the scale inside was much bigger than he imagined.

The inner courtyard and the Martial Spirit Research Institute, which he led the design and construction, were somewhat reiserative.

The ground is just a few of the less important parts, and the real research sites are underground.

In terms of area, the Martial Spirit Research Institute may be even larger.

Entering the building, Sun Mingfeng took Xia Ling through several checkpoints successively.

Soul Master Guard, Pure Soul Guide level is available.

Walking through a descending staircase, you will be greeted by twenty elevators in the arc of the siege.

Sun Mingfeng took Xia Ling into an elevator, swept his identity card at the identification place, raised his hand and held a metal pillar in the center of the elevator, and injected soul power into it.

"Senior brother, when you come by yourself in the future, you can use your identity card to scan it here, and then inject soul power, and the elevator will automatically start."

"Okay, I understand."

The elevator began to descend slowly.

Summer Spirit poked out his sense, scanned the internal structure of the elevator by himself, and engraved it all in his mind.

After descending to a depth of about 100 meters, the metal door of the elevator slid open to both sides.

Sun Mingfeng smiled slightly, motioning for Xia Ling to follow him.

Unlike the cement walls of the Martial Spirit Research Institute, almost everything here is made of metalwork, including the walls.

It's still an arc-shaped hall that makes Xia Ling, a Chinese who loves standard square rooms, feel egg pain.

After walking through a not too long metal road, the eyes suddenly opened up.

An extremely vast underground metal space appeared before his eyes.

A twenty-meter-high hemispherical metal dome shrouded the sky, and five thousand silver-white workbenches five meters long and three meters wide were neatly arranged in the hall.

More than half of these workbenches already have owners, and the soul guide lights above the unmanned platforms are in a state of extinguishment.

Well, obsessive-compulsive ecstasy.

It's just how you look and feel a bit like a billiard hall.

Sun Mingfeng whispered, "Don't make a loud noise here, there will be many soldiers in charge of security and supervision after you go down, don't care about them." They are very well trained, and as long as you don't do anything out of the ordinary, they will never interfere with your experiments. ”

Xia Ling nodded vigorously.

"When you pass the assessment, you will also be assigned to one of these workbenches, and you will study individually or in small groups. In addition to these public places, there are also a number of exclusive secret laboratories. Those who can have laboratories here are at least soul masters above level seven. For example, my teacher and I have our own labs. ”

"Pay attention to the badge on everyone's chest, the sun and the moon are the base, the stars are hanging in the sky, and a star is the first level."

As he spoke, Sun Mingfeng took out a badge with seven stars and put it on his chest.

"At the level of the eighth-level peak soul master, it is a national strategic level existence, and it will be equipped with powerful force to protect them. It's protection, it's surveillance. It is for their own safety, but also for the interests of the country and the safety of others. Even the teachers are the same. ”

"Senior brother, I understand."

Xia Ling smiled.

"Every eighth-level soul master is a walking humanoid soul beast, an army of one-man beings. If someone wants to do something in their head, the consequences are absolutely terrifying. What's more, this is still in the capital of our country. ”

Sun Mingfeng was also happy.

"It's good if you can accept it, it's a necessary double insurance. Okay, let's go to the teacher's laboratory, and don't let the many directors and elders who are looking forward to it be in a hurry. ”

"Okay, let's go."

Walking through the wide hall, the two brothers came to a space that had previously looked dark from a distance.

There are many soul masters and soul guides guarding here, and both entering and exiting need to be strictly checked.

After passing through layers of security checks, inside is the most important thing in the inner courtyard - the single laboratory of the high-level soul masters.

In the middle of the laboratory space is Luo Hongchen's laboratory.

Sun Mingfeng brushed open the laboratory, and several old men who were dressed differently, but all wore the badge of an eighth-level soul master, had been waiting here for a long time.

Unlike the normal Soul Master badge of a silver star on a black background, their badge is a red star on a blue background.

After entering the laboratory, Xia Ling bowed to them very politely and said respectfully, "Hello elders, good teachers. ”

The old men seemed to be very interested in him, and after a simple response, they looked him up and down.

Luo Hongchen nodded at Sun Mingfeng and said, "No need to be polite, let's start quickly." ”

An old man with a big beard smiled and said, "Boy, behave well, this old thing Hongchen shows off how precious you are in front of our brothers every day." Take the carving knife you forged for him, tsk tsk, the beauty is even snot bubbles coming out, hahahahahahaha......"

The bearded old man's joke caused the other old men to burst into laughter, and Luo Hongchen snorted coldly, not bothering him.
