The First Academy on the Douluo Continent (2)
"Four thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Continent collided with our Douluo Continent. The armies of the three great empires carrying hidden weapons made by our Tang Sect clashed with the armies of the Sun Moon Empire. In the end, even though the Sun Moon Empire was not strong in terms of soul masters, they had unique research in the aspect of soul devices. Those spirit tools that are powered by spirit power surpass our Tang Sect's hidden weapons in terms of overall power and attack range. As a result, the three great empires on our Douluo Continent suffered heavy losses during the initial war.”
"Even though we won the war in the end, the use of our Tang Sect's hidden weapons has also been greatly questioned. From then on, the various countries began to drastically reduce their purchases of our concealed weapons. On the other hand, although our Tang Sect has earned a lot of money, we have donated most of our earnings according to the wishes of the first Sect Master. It was used to improve the lives of civilians in poor areas and to build public facilities such as schools. Therefore, we don't have much surplus.”
"At that time, the Tang Sect had thousands of people. The speed at which we decline from our peak is too fast. In less than two hundred years, our Tang Sect has declined rapidly. The once number one sect on the continent had lost its former glory. When it reached my generation, there were only me, my father, and my mother left. During a conflict when hunting soul beasts, my parents left me. I'm the only one left in the Tang Sect.”
Tears rolled down Tang Ya's smooth face and she clenched her fists.
"The development of soul devices has a great impact on our Tang Sect's hidden weapons." When I first got to know Xiao Ya, she still stubbornly believed that hidden weapons were definitely stronger than soul tools. However, reality has proven that there is indeed a reason why soul devices can replace our Tang Sect's hidden weapons as weapons accepted by all parties. Firstly, it was because it was too easily accepted by the public. Especially those tool spirit masters who couldn't attack. After they had a soul tool, they practically instantly turned into battle soul masters. And all they needed to pay was soul power. Therefore, Xiao Ya and I have decided after a discussion that if our Tang Sect wants to develop, we must not be stuck in our own world like before. If you want our Tang Sect to regain its glory, then not only do we have to understand soul devices, we also have to fuse our Tang Sect's hidden weapons with soul devices to create even more powerful soul devices. Only in this way can our Tang Sect find an opportunity to develop. Therefore, all Tang Sect disciples must cultivate soul tools in addition to their martial souls.”
"Teacher Little Ya, Eldest Senior Brother. If the soul device is so powerful, why did the Sun Moon Empire lose to our allied forces of the three kingdoms?”
"That's because, although the soul tools at that time weren't weak, even the most powerful soul tools couldn't compare to the battle prowess of a Title Douluo. However, after several thousand years of development, some especially powerful soul devices had already begun to appear. They could even threaten Title Douluos. However, there was also a problem with soul devices. The more powerful a soul device was, the more powerful a soul master was required to use it. Without sufficient soul power to support it, the power of a soul tool was extremely limited. Hence, after our two continents merged, an interesting phenomenon occurred. On our side, we're doing our best to learn how to make soul devices, while the Sun Moon Empire is focusing on nurturing powerful soul masters. After a few thousand years, it seemed to be somewhat balanced.”
With Bebe and Tang Ya's introductions, Mo Xiang finally had a preliminary impression of Shrek Academy.
Tang Ya pulled Bebe's sleeve and wiped the tears off her face, then said to Mo Xiang,""Little Mo Xiang, the most important thing for you now is to remain in Shrek Academy. Bebe and I are already third-year students. This time, after I obtain a thousand year spirit ring, it shouldn't be a problem for me to enter the fourth grade with him. After entering the fourth grade, the elimination rate was not as high. In a few years, we will all have the opportunity to enter the inner court to study. But you are different. After you entered the academy as a first year student, the competition is the fiercest. Every three months, the academy would conduct a new student assessment. Only those who passed the test could stay. Even though our Tang Sect has a quota for the interview, whether or not you can continue to stay in the academy and study will depend on your own abilities. No one can help you, do you understand?”
Xiang Mo nodded seriously and said,""Teacher Xiao Ya, I will definitely do my best. However, with your and Eldest Senior Brother's abilities, aren't you actually an inner court student?”
"It's easier said than done to enter Shrek Academy's inner court," said Tang Ya. Shrek Academy's motto had never changed. The outer court was only established after the three empires requested for more talents to be nurtured. However, only students who entered the inner court were considered true Shrek Academy students in a certain sense. They were all geniuses, freaks, and even monsters. The outer court students would have an examination after they reached the sixth grade. They would be able to graduate after passing the examination. Only a very small number of people who were the most outstanding in the examination would have the possibility of accepting the inner court examination again. After passing it again, they would be allowed to enter the inner court. It would take six years to study in the inner court. It was said that those who were able to graduate from the inner court were at least Soul Emperor-ranked powerhouses! They would also receive the best invitations from all countries, including the Sun Moon Empire.”
Bebe said seriously,"In addition, I once met a senior apprentice-brother from the inner sect. That senior brother entered the Star Dou Great Forest alone, defeated three ten thousand year spirit beasts bare-handed without harming their lives, and even brought them back to the academy. It was said that this was the academy's tenth grade assessment mission that he had drawn.”
"I also heard that there was once a twelfth grade senior who had already reached the seventieth rank Soul Sage level when he graduated and even had a red hundred thousand year soul ring." That senior was later kept in the academy to be groomed as the next dean.”
However, this was not what Xiang Mo was thinking about. He was more concerned about why the Tang Sect, which had always had a close relationship with Shrek Academy, was in such dire straits since Shrek Academy was so powerful.
With Shrek Academy's strength, the Tang Sect would not have ended up in its current state if they had helped them a little.
However, the Tang Sect was once the number one sect on the continent after all. There were many implications involved. Moreover, no matter how deep their friendship was, it was something that happened ten thousand years ago. Therefore, it was normal for Shrek Academy not to help.
With a complicated feeling, he walked forward. After a while, he finally saw the outline of a city.
