The next day!
Wang Li and Gorefa had breakfast, which was delivered by the staff, and after a brief rest, they headed out.
Upon arriving at the main campus, the atmosphere was livelier than the previous day. When they had arrived yesterday, the campus had been largely empty because Heaven Dou Royal Academy was vast, and out of the five or six hundred students, many spent most of their time on the mountains, training in various simulated environments instead of staying at the lower campus.
Normally, the academy didn't receive outsiders, but today, as they arrived, Wang Li observed about thirty or so middle-aged men and women—likely the deans of intermediate Soul Master academies—and more than fifty young men and women, presumably recent graduates from these academies.
As they walked closer, they saw the competition platforms and spectator seats; everything one could need was available. Despite being an open-air venue, it was impeccably clean, indicating that staff must clean it daily.
Gorefa led Wang Li to a quiet spot to sit and wait for the three committee members to arrive.
Not long later, the three committee members appeared, wearing prestigious black robes with gold trim. These weren't their usual attire; this formal dress was reserved for Soul Douluo-level officials, a clear indication of how seriously they took the event.
Behind them followed several teachers and students from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, who were likely the judges and opponents for today's assessment.
Soon, the three committee members reached the podium. One of them, a tall and elderly man with an imposing presence, stepped forward. His aura was incredibly strong, and aside from the other two committee members, no one else seemed to match his power.
Despite his intimidating appearance, he smiled and said:
"Thank you to all the deans for sending your academy's best graduates to us. There's no need to go over the details of the assessment and rules; you already know them."
"Now, let's begin the assessment. Please wait a moment while our staff collects the students' files."
Below, Gorefa whispered to Wang Li:
"The one who just spoke is the Chairman of the Committee, Meng Shenji. The slightly plump man on the left is Vice Chairman Bai Baoshan, and the slender man on the right is the Third Member, Zhi Lin…"
Once Gorefa finished introducing them, the academy's staff arrived, and Gorefa smoothly handed over Wang Li's file.
The teacher who received it looked shocked when he saw Wang Li, who appeared much younger than the typical graduate. The requirement for an intermediate Soul Master academy graduate was to have reached Soul Power level 20 by the age of eighteen and then hunt soul beasts to obtain their first Soul Ring to become a great soul master.
But Wang Li's face, youthful and fresh, looked nowhere near the typical age of seventeen or eighteen. He couldn't have been older than eleven or twelve—when in fact, he was only nine years old.
However, the teacher quickly regained his composure. They didn't need to perform any bone-checking or Soul Power testing; in the presence of Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin, no trick or secret could be hidden.
Regardless of the circumstances, once the assessment began, it would be up to the three committee members—Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin—to make their decision.
The teacher soon left to join the others, handing over all the collected files to Meng Shenji.
Meng Shenji opened the first file on top, quickly scanning it. After a moment, he said:
"Xueling Intermediate Soul Master Academy, Ai Xi, step up!"
…
This was how the assessment worked—randomly selecting candidates to go on stage. The outcome didn't matter; what was important was showing one's unique qualities. As long as the candidate caught the attention of the three committee members, they would pass. Otherwise, they would not.
Each match lasted about three to five minutes. While the time was short, it was enough to gauge a soul master's abilities.
Around an hour later, Meng Shenji opened the next file and scanned it. His pupils contracted, and for a moment, he almost couldn't believe his eyes when he read:
Leijia Intermediate Soul Master Academy…
Wang Li…
Nine years old…
Mutated Blue Silver Grass…
Soul Power level 25…
…
Meng Shenji took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
"Leijia Intermediate Soul Master Academy, Wang Li, step up!"
As soon as his name was called, Wang Li quickly jumped down from his seat and onto the stage.
His youthful appearance immediately drew attention from the crowd. He certainly didn't resemble the typical graduate of an intermediate Soul Master academy.
Wang Li's opponent also stepped onto the stage at that moment. He was a young man in his twenties, dressed in a light yellow school uniform, with an arrogant expression—likely a noble.
With the referee's command,
"Prepare yourselves, summon your martial spirits!"
The noble youth summoned his martial spirit, transforming into a white werewolf, with two hundred-year-old soul rings hovering around him.
Wang Li was surrounded by Blue Silver Grass, also with two hundred-year-old soul rings floating beside him.
The noble youth sneered, taking the first move. His first soul skill, White Wolf's Attack, released a white energy orb from his mouth. Wang Li, using Instant Step, easily dodged it.
Immediately after, Wang Li's Blue Silver Grass, enhanced by his first soul skill, surged toward the noble youth.
The noble youth tried to dodge, but being a power-type soul master, his speed wasn't great, and he couldn't escape. He activated his second soul skill, White Wolf's Defense, summoning a white shield around him. The Blue Silver Grass wrapped around him tightly.
His claws couldn't cut through the Blue Silver Grass, and he was forced to use a significant amount of soul power, repeatedly employing his first soul skill. After a while, he managed to create a small opening, through which he squeezed out and charged directly at Wang Li.
Wang Li was somewhat surprised, but seeing the shield around him, he used Violent Step to dart out. With the added speed and strength, he delivered a powerful kick, shattering the shield. He then kicked the noble youth in the chest, and with a crack of bones, the noble youth was sent flying, screaming in pain.
Wang Li landed and walked toward the noble youth. A teacher, still stunned by the events, quickly intervened, shouting:
"Stop! You've already won; no further fighting is allowed!"
Wang Li looked innocent, replying:
"Teacher, you misunderstood! I just wanted to help him heal!"
The teacher froze, not sure how to respond. Wang Li then knelt beside the noble youth, placing his hand above his chest and using his second soul skill, Revival.
At that moment, his soul power transformed into life force, flowing into the noble youth's body. In less than ten seconds, the noble youth's complexion improved, his breathing evened out, and both his internal and external injuries were nearly healed.
Seeing this, Wang Li stood up. Just then, Zhi Lin leaped down from the podium and approached Wang Li.
He pinched and prodded Wang Li's body, examining him closely. After a moment, he turned to Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan, saying:
"I recommend this child for the Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team's Reserve Training Camp!"
Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan didn't hesitate. They spoke in turn:
"I agree!"
"I also agree!"
The Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team Reserve Training Camp was not a regular class division within the academy. It was a special class created by the three committee members to prepare for the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition.
The camp accepted students under the age of twenty, with soul power above level 25. Many of the participants were already powerful great soul masters with soul power levels of 28, 29, 30, and even 31 or 32.
Currently, there were only about twenty students in the camp. The committee's plan was to select the top candidates over the next year or two, after elimination and evaluation, to form two teams: Team One and Team Two.
Team One would receive significant resources and support, becoming the main force in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition!
