Chapter 29 School Day and Planning
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy started a few days later than Shrek Academy. Since it was already time for him to enroll, it meant that Huo Yuhao, who was a year younger than him, had already met Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ilex, just like in the original story, and thus became a rising star on the continent, attracting the attention of a certain God King.
With a million-year soul ring and the only demigod's divine consciousness on the continent, Huo Yuhao's originally weak fortune had reached an extremely high level. Even a pig could turn his luck around and soar to great heights.
Unfortunately, this was a huge trap, Kong Tianxu sighed inwardly.
Although many people in his previous life called Huo Yuhao the Child of Destiny, believing that everything he obtained was a predestined opportunity, Kong Tianxu carefully reviewed the original plot and related ancient books after transmigrating and found that this was not the case.
In Douluo Continent, a person's fortune is constantly changing. The stronger the power accumulated in a person's body, the higher their fortune, and the easier it is for them to be discovered by the God Realm.
If Huo Yuhao hadn't fused with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Ilex, he would have remained that innate level one Spirit Eye boy forever, and it would have been hard to say whether he could break through to Soul Master in this lifetime.
In the God Realm, Tang San, as the ruler of the God Realm, never completely relaxed his attention to Douluo Continent. With Kong Tianxu's talent, as long as he obtains either the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm or the Electrolux, the direction of the new star of the continent will appear ahead of time, and Tang San's surveillance will be like a shadow, locking him in place.
Faced with this perverted god-king who could casually kick his own daughter down to the mortal realm to fish and who was even more unscrupulous in manipulating people's personalities, Kong Tianxu would never expose himself to the other party's sight so early.
Sacrificing a few opportunities that would only be icing on the cake for oneself, and letting Huo Yuhao completely control the other party's attention, is the best choice.
Therefore, he never even hunted down spirit-type soul beasts like the Evil Eye Tyrant to supplement his spiritual attributes. Of course, this was not entirely to sever his feelings for Tianmeng.
The spiritual attribute plays a crucial role in his planned martial soul evolution scheme, so he will try his best to absorb pure spiritual-type Evil Eye Tyrants that are over 100,000 years old. Anyway, the Evil Emperor and its descendants won't run away from the Demon Forest, so it's not too late to hunt them down when needed.
However, he underestimated his own talent. He didn't know that a mere 30,000-year-old immortal herb would bring him into Tang San's sight. If his enlightenment hadn't lasted only a moment and he hadn't restrained himself from absorbing the Heavenly Punishment Silver Dragon Bone, he probably would be seeing a pink-haired, cross-dressing male boss in the classroom today.
As for Huo Yuhao's threat, it meant nothing to him.
While the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's age is unparalleled, its bloodline is too inferior. Its essence, in terms of both quality and quantity, cannot even compare to the 790,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler. Even if all of its essence were used to improve Huo Yuhao's talent, it would only be barely on par with him at the beginning of his awakening.
Electrolux's level is unmatched, but he only has a wisp of divine consciousness left. If he were to seize the life essence from the source, this Necromancer Saint would not even be able to maintain himself.
Ice Emperor, whose strength is only level 97, is even more of a roadside idiot. His ultimate ice is steadily suppressed by the silver dragon, and this gap will widen further once he obtains the Snow Emperor's embryo.
Going forward, all we need to do is suppress Huo Yuhao as much as possible, keeping him in this state of near-limit but still far from godhood, thus keeping Tang San hanging on. The other party should not make a move against us in the short term.
After clarifying the pros and cons once again, Kong Tianxu stopped considering them. What he needed to do now was to increase the fusion of his spiritual power and soul power as much as possible before obtaining the Gold of Life, so that he could attract the call of the God Realm during the fusion.
Only then will he have the confidence to face all of Tang San's schemes and plots without fear.
Thinking about all this, the carriage had already stopped in front of the gate of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Kong Tianxu thanked the driver, Master Xie, and the three of them stepped out of the spacious carriage one after another.
Despite the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's vast size, the area in front of its gates was still teeming with people. At least five thousand people were gathered there, queuing in several groups under the guidance of guards to register. A large number of vendors had already arrived, making the area in front of the academy probably even more bustling than the most prosperous street in Mingdu.
Upon closer inspection, the crowd was divided into three groups, with the longest line on the far right. These were students who wanted to enter the academy based on their own abilities.
To enroll in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, all a student needs is to be a Soul Master of level 10 or above, possess a Soul Ring, be no older than 12, and pass an entrance exam. This is far less demanding than Shrek Academy's requirement of reaching level 15 before the age of 12.
This is also why there are so many first-year students. The Sun Moon Empire adopts a broad-based education model, striving to discover every genius among its citizens who is a potential Soul Guide. However, the overall dropout rate of the academy is still very high. If a student fails to reach the level of a Level 3 Soul Guide before the age of eighteen, they will have to leave the academy and fend for themselves.
The middle group was much smaller, consisting mostly of elegantly dressed noble children and returning students. Like Shrek Academy, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also had a recommendation letter system, allowing them to enroll directly without taking an exam. However, graduation still required a high degree of integrity.
As for the far left, which was also the least crowded passage, there wasn't a single student there, but the guards were the most numerous. They even set up a small temporary shed, which drew stares from the people in the two passages next to it.
Kong Tianxu was speechless. He knew without a doubt that it was meant for him, but it was just too stupid. But since he was already there, he could only pull up the hood and grit his teeth and walk inside.
There was no expected scene of showing off and being humiliated. As the three approached, a short, stout middle-aged man trotted over, his trembling face showing a slight greeting to Elder Tong. He then paused for a moment upon seeing Kong Tianxu's expression, but quickly recovered, leading the three inside while smiling at Kong Tianxu:
"Welcome to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. You must be Young Master Tianxu. You are indeed a handsome young man, and the little girl next to you is very cute. I am Lin Jiayi, the Dean of Studies of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Originally, our Red Dust Hall Master was going to come and welcome you in person, but something came up at the laboratory and he was delayed. So I will take care of your enrollment matters."
As he entered the school, he waved his right hand, and those who had come with him immediately stepped forward. Before they could do anything, he turned around and took the trays from the two people behind him, presenting them to Kong Tianxu.
"Young Master Tianxu, in order to avoid causing you any trouble in your future academy life, I have taken the liberty of calling you Tianxu. In this tray are our school's student code of conduct, the academy map, and the dormitory key. You can wear these after the entrance exam. As for the physical fitness test, the hall master has instructed that neither of you needs to participate."
"If you need any help at the academy in the future, please come to me. Now, I'll trouble you two to come with me to see the classrooms. Please, Professor Tong."
