Chapter 278: Pseudo-Ninth Rank Soul Master Xuan Ziwen (4.6k)
The process of going to the Jingyang Mountain Range to hunt for the soul ring was very smooth, Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian were both successfully promoted to the soul king, and each obtained a powerful fifth soul skill.
Jingyang Mountains in the early morning.
"Drinkβ"
Wu Feng wielded the Soul Guide Sword, and the flames burned on the blade, unleashing a powerful flame slash.
Several stout trees were charred by the slash of the flames.
"The improvement is so obvious!"
Wu Feng looked excited.
With Huo Yuhao's assistance, Ning Tian added a strength amplification and attribute amplification to Wu Feng and the near-body soul guide in her hand at the same time, and under the superposition of multiple buffs, Wu Feng's slash was enough to match the full force of a soul king's blow.
"What a horrible amplification." Even Ning Tian, the genius young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Sect, was a little distracted at the moment.
The strength amplification plus attribute amplification were originally the two powerful auxiliary soul skills of the glazed tower, and on top of that, the value was doubled.
The combination of mechanism monsters and numerical monsters, Ning Tian had a hunch that the Nine Treasure Liuli Sect might use the tide of the times to promote the top power in the continent.
However, the Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Sect's own research on soul guides started late, and even the Shrek Academy where she is studying now is in a stage of slow growth.
The place with the highest level of soul guides on the continent is ...... Mingde Hall!
Compared to the original Douluo Continent, the Sun and Moon Empire's soul guide level was hundreds of years ahead.
Ning Tian's face was calm.
The Three Kingdoms of the Continent and the Sun and Moon Empire are enemies, and the Sun and Moon Empire has not made any moves in recent years, but the wolf ambition to annex the continent is clearly revealed.
In this case, if you want to contact Mingdetang and cooperate with it, wouldn't the Nine Treasure Liuli Sect become a potential enemy of the three continents?
Comprehensive cooperation was completely different from normal business practices, and Ning Tian knew that his young sect master had no right to decide, so he could only send a message home to inform his father and the other elders.
On the way back to the academy using the Flying Soul Guide, Huo Yuhao asked Ning Tian with some curiosity: "Ning Tian, the mainland has always said that your Nine Treasure Colored Glass Sect is a first-class force, but your inheritance martial soul is an auxiliary system, so how can you ensure the strength of the sect?" β
Ning Tian smiled and said, "It's not a secret, in addition to the direct members of our sect, there are many affiliated sects and families below. In addition, we will also hire external strong people to serve as offerings at a high price. β
"But how do you guarantee the loyalty of those who are hired from outside?"
Ning Tian sighed and said: "I don't know, there are many things that my father has not let me fully contact, my life has been very monotonous since I was a child, studying and cultivating...... To truly become the sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Sect, I still have a lot to learn. β
Wu Feng hurriedly said: "Ning Tian, you will definitely become an excellent sect master, and I will always be by your side to support you." β
Ning Tianwan smiled: "Thank you, Sister Feng." β
"That's good, sisterhood." In the sea of spirits, the Snow Emperor smiled meaningfully.
The conversation between Wu Feng and Ning Tian, who seemed to be normal friends, was smelled by her with a hint of an unusual atmosphere.
Huo Yuhao said: "Hehe, although I don't want to hit them, the resistance they face may be much greater than I imagined." β
In Shrek Academy, the scandals about these two have not stopped, and a group of teenage children may spread gossip faster than the Min Attack Department Title Douluo.
Huo Yuhao didn't know if the world could accept such a pair, but I was afraid that the Nine Treasure Liuli Sect would be the first to accept it.
In the evening, they finally returned to the Sun and Moon Academy.
Some tired Wu Feng wanted to drag Ning Tian back to the dormitory to rest, but Ning Tian shook his head and knocked on Fan Yu's dormitory door.
Fan Yu opened the door, saw that it was these two girls, and asked, "Ning Tian, Wu Feng, is there something wrong?" β
Ning Tian said solemnly: "Teacher Fan Yu, I have a few very important things I want to tell you. β
She told Fan Yu the reason why her soul skill acted on the soul guide.
Fan Yu's eyes lit up instantly: "Ning Tian, your discovery may change the future of the soul master and the soul master, can you show it to the teacher?" β
Ning Tian shook his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, Teacher Fan Yu, I have to help Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection to succeed, and I can't demonstrate it now." β
"Why?" Fan Yu was surprised.
Ning Tian told the reason truthfully.
When Fan Yu heard the reason, he frowned and said, "Do you want to redesign the soul guide that is only suitable for you?" Truth be told, it's quite a challenge. β
"You should know very well that independent design is more than one level more difficult than making according to drawings, and the innovation and design ability of many senior soul masters is actually very weak."
"The teacher can't help you much, because I can't feel the problem you're having when you use your soul skills after all."
"The teacher has warned you many times, a powerful soul master, the soul guide he uses must have been made by himself, because only he knows himself best."
"But the teacher will do his best to answer your doubts, so work hard."
Ning Tian nodded: "Thank you, Teacher Fan Yu, there is one more thing ......"
β¦β¦
A few days later, Mingde Hall.
Mirror Hongchen Office.
This Mingde Hall Master was in a good mood now, and was brewing a pot of good tea, and asked Lin Jiayi in front of him, "Jiayi, what Ziwen said about trying to break through the ninth level with the assistance of Ning Tian's students, how are you prepared?" β
Lin Jiayi's face was worried: "Hall Master, Teacher Xuan is currently preparing materials and selecting a suitable ninth-level soul guide, these preliminary work may take a few weeks, but it is not a big deal." Just ......"
"Just what?" Jing Hongchen raised his eyebrows.
Lin Jiayi said: "Shrek Academy heard about this, and those two eighth-level soul masters proposed to observe the whole process. β
Jing Hongchen was not surprised: "After all, they are borrowing their students, and they can't hide it." Rather, they didn't refuse, which was beyond my expectations. β
Lin Jiayi speculated: "Perhaps...... They also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see if the eighth-level soul master could temporarily break through to the ninth level with an auxiliary soul master. β
Jing Hongchen snorted: "Of course, how many eighth-level soul masters have been stuck at the eighth level for a lifetime, and they have not broken through the ninth level." β
"I've seen Shrek's two eighth-level teachers, especially the teacher named Fan Yu, although I don't want to increase his popularity, I have to admit that his talent is quite good. I'm optimistic that he will break through level nine in ten years. β
"It's a pity, but we're enemies."
A sense of love rose in Jing Hongchen's heart, but he quickly snuffed it out again, revealing a trace of ruthlessness in the corners of his eyes.
Lin Jiayi said with a smile: "Hall Master, have you ever thought about persuading him to stay in Mingde Hall?" β
Jing Hongchen glared at him angrily: "Who will persuade?" You go? What kind of stay are you? β
"This ......," Lin Jiayi didn't dare to answer.
Jing Hongchen took a sip of tea and asked casually, "Jiayi, you should have stayed at the eighth level for a long time, right?" I've been teaching for a long time, isn't it rusty? β
Lin Jiayi smiled bitterly: "Hall Master, you don't know how tiring it is to get along with those junior students, I think if I become the teaching director for a few more years, I will retreat from the eighth level to the seventh level." β
Jing Hongchen said: "Thank you for your hard work, but I can't ignore the teaching work, except for you, I can't rest assured that others." β
Lin Jiayi glanced at Jing Hongchen gratefully: "Thank you for the hall master's appreciation, the hall master's discernment." β
"Less gold on your face." Jing Hongchen scolded with a smile and asked again, "Do you think Ziwen can succeed this time?" β
Lin Jiayi immediately said: "Teacher Xuan is the first person below the ninth level soul master of Mingde Hall, if it weren't for his lack of cultivation, I'm afraid he would have been promoted a long time ago, I believe him." β
Jing Hongchen nodded: "If even he can't succeed, I'm afraid it proves that this path is only suitable for low-level soul masters, and it is not very feasible for high-level soul masters." The short-term promotion of low-level soul masters is one or two levels, and the strategic significance is not very great. β
Lin Jiayi expressed a few of his worries again: "But hall master, if it really succeeds, won't Shrek know about it?" Those two eighth-level soul masters might be able to succeed as well. β
"And even if that student named Ning Tian can't help, Shrek Academy can also contact other masters of the Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Sect, maybe they will succeed?"
"These are all questions that the hall master has already considered." Jing Hongchen frowned and said, "This is just the first attempt, if it doesn't work, you can privately trade with the Nine Treasure Colored Glass Sect with a lot of money." β
"If so, what if it does, so what if Shrek Academy knows? Will the ascension be as big as our Mingde Hall? β
Jing Hongchen sighed helplessly: "Alas...... It's a pity that Ziwen proposed the method, and with his character, he can't hide such an inconsequential secret. β
"Otherwise, it is possible to secretly cooperate with the Nine Treasure Glaze Sect without the Shrek Academy."
Lin Jiayi said, "Hall Master, are you so sure that the Nine Treasure Colored Glass Sect will cooperate with us?" β
"Isn't Shrek Academy a better partner to work with than we do?"
Jing Hongchen smiled: "This time is just an attempt, if it succeeds, it proves that the auxiliary soul master has an extraordinary effect on the soul master." Without the Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Sect, we can still cultivate our own auxiliary soul masters. β
"Moreover, Jia Yi, many times, the immediate interests have to be willing to make concessions, even at any cost."
"Because these are nothing compared to what you can get in the future."
"I believe that the Nine Treasure Colored Glass Sect is willing to cooperate with us."
β¦β¦
Shrek's exchange activities in Sun and Moon officially began, and Ning Tian and Wu Feng began to study under Xuanziwen.
Of course, the main thing is Ning Tian. Wu Feng is more like Ning Tian's full-time bodyguard and tool man than an exchange student.
Huo Yuhao felt that Wu Feng didn't need to learn the making of soul guides at all, because he magically found that most of the soul guides used by Wu Feng were made by Ning Tian.
Xuan Ziwen's current research activities slowed down, and he began to prepare for his ninth-level soul master assessment, and when the time came, it was not Jing Hongchen, but another ninth-level soul master elder from Mingde Hall who came to evaluate him.
He would come to the lab every day and write and draw on a thick notebook.
Ning Tian's teaching did not fall behind, following Xuan Ziwen to study, Ning Tiancai knew that his previous understanding of the soul guide was too shallow.
Under the witness of Xuan Ziwen, she successfully broke through the fifth-level soul master.
Ning Tian took the fifth-level soul master badge, and he didn't be happy for too long, Huo Yuhao threw her a textbook.
"What kind of book is this, not a book about soul guides, right?" Ning Tian wondered.
Wu Feng pointed to the two words on the cover of the textbook and asked, "Mathematics?" What is Mathematics? β
Huo Yuhao smiled and said: "This book is very good for soul masters, you can read more when you have time, but unfortunately you don't need to take the exam, the junior students have to repeat the grade if they hang up the exam." β
Ning Tian and Wu Feng flipped through the books and quickly closed them again.
"Forget it......"
Huo Yuhao: "......"
Originally, he was quite proud that the people of the Sun and Moon Empire really had mathematical geniuses, and in the state of financial support, they could use mathematical tools to systematically elucidate the core magic circle in a short period of time, and he might have changed the direction of soul guide technology.
Source change appγ
As a result, Ning Tian and Wu Feng were so unappreciative, which made Huo Yuhao a little depressed.
The time soon came to the day of Xuan Ziwen's pseudo-ninth-level soul master assessment.
This is a very spacious laboratory in Mingde Hall, with countless rare metals neatly arranged on the table.
Xuan Ziwen stood in front of the experimental table with a serious face, and an old man with a serious expression of the ninth-level soul master stood aside, in addition to them, there were also Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo in the laboratory.
Except for these four soul master powerhouses, only Ning Tian was left in the laboratory.
The old man asked, "Ziwen, are you ready?" β
Xuan Ziwen nodded: "Old Wu, get ready." β
Fan Yu also looked at Ning Tian: "Ning Tian, what about you?" β
"Teacher Fan Yu, I'm ready too." Ning Tian also replied.
Wu Lao said in a deep voice: "Then Ziwen, let's start, don't be nervous, there is no time limit." β
"Hmm."
Xuan Ziwen didn't rush to engrave it, but first took out a ninth-level soul guide blueprint, spread it on the table, and thought carefully.
Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo were not far from him, and tried their best to take the contents of the drawings into their eyes.
This is a priceless ninth-level soul guide blueprint, and if it can be recorded, it will be very important for the development of Shrek Academy's soul guide system.
Unfortunately, the contents of the drawings disappointed them somewhat.
Xuan Ziwen's selection turned out to be a civilian soul guide, which was installed on a large building to help stabilize the structure of the building, and the underground base of Mingdetang was used in this kind of soul guide.
The level is high, but it is not suitable for combat.
However, although it is civilian, the technical content of this soul guide is not low, and Xuan Ziwen has also chosen a rather challenging target for himself.
Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo are also trying to memorize the contents of the drawings.
After thinking about it, Xuan Ziwen took more than ten kinds of rare metals that he needed.
He did all the other preparations, grinding the various metals into the shapes he needed to make, inlaying them together to form a large piece of metal, and finally began to inscribe them.
"Whew-"
Xuan Ziwen took a deep breath, put the carving knife against the metal block, and said softly.
"Ning Tian, let's start."
Ning Tian nodded, and the crystal Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda appeared in the palm of his hand.
"The seven treasures are famous, and the four are the soul."
Xuan Ziwen instantly felt that his soul power had become richer, but he didn't have time to be surprised, but began to input soul power into the carving knife in his hand and quickly engraved it.
Ning Tian crossed several realms to exert a soul power increase for him, which didn't last long, and could be interrupted at any time, he didn't dare to waste time.
At this moment, for some reason, he felt like the whole world was slowing down.
I just feel that my thinking has quickened, the movements in my hands have also become faster, and the original complex core circle is not so cumbersome to carve.
Xuan Ziwen didn't think much about it, he devoted himself to the carving, he didn't realize what his movements were like in the eyes of outsiders.
Rank 9 Soul Master Wu Lao's eyes widened slightly, and he muttered in his heart: "When did Ziwen's hand become so fast?" β
Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo, who were watching from the sidelines, were also surprised by Xuan Ziwen's performance.
They are both eighth-level soul masters, but Xuan Ziwen's skills are far above them.
The inscription movement was dazzling, and there seemed to be an afterimage on the hand, and the speed of the carving was at least twice as fast as theirs.
How did he manage to move so fast and his hands were so steady?
Aren't you afraid of making mistakes?
Ning Tian's soul power was greatly consumed, and finally, when she was about to exhaust her soul power, Xuan Ziwen completed the inscription.
He handed the metal block to Wu Lao and breathed a sigh of relief: "Wu Lao, please take a look." β
Wu Lao took the metal block and looked at it, and then showed a kind smile: "Ziwen, congratulations, you have succeeded." β
"Okay." Xuan Ziwen smiled comfortably, looked at Ning Tian, and bowed deeply, "Ning Tian, thank you." β
"Although it can't be called an official breakthrough to level nine, this is still a very big improvement for me."
After formally experiencing the feeling of a ninth-level soul master, Xuan Ziwen felt that some problems that had been bothering him for a long time suddenly came to an eyebrow.
Ning Tian smiled: "It's nothing, Teacher Xuan, congratulations." β
Unbeknownst to Xuan Ziwen, his success has attracted the attention of many people.
Fan Yu, Qian Duoduo, and the mirror Hongchen behind the monitoring soul guide on the wall.
Everyone was thinking differently, and the status of the Nine Treasure Colored Glass Sect and the auxiliary soul master seemed to be about to be re-examined.
Not far from the laboratory, Huo Yuhao put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the wall, and shook his head helplessly.
"Teacher Xuan, you still have to thank me."
