Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

The spear spirit merged into the Heavenly Origin Brush, and the bristles of the brush tip transformed into a spear shape, just like when Xu Yuan transformed his form before.

At first glance, it seems to have no effect.

In reality, the effect was far greater, directly unifying the two forms of Xu Yuan's martial soul, allowing him to use spear techniques simultaneously in the Heavenly Origin Brush form without needing to change forms.

Moreover, the first soul skill of the Heavenly Origin Spear is ultimately a spear technique. In the form of the Heavenly Origin Brush, it can mobilize the five elements. As long as Xu Yuan masters the Five Elements Spear Technique, he will be able to use the Five Elements Spear Technique when the Heavenly Origin Brush merges with the spear spirit to become a brush-spear.

Possessing the abilities of both a warrior and a mage!

Of course, to bring this ability to its fullest potential and develop combat techniques best suited to this condition, a great deal of effort is required.

Xu Yuan already had many tasks, and now this one added to his list, making his future cultivation life even more arduous.

However, Xu Yuan did not regret it.

Although his daily cultivation tasks are very heavy, he has always enjoyed them.

For someone who has lived for over twenty years and can only satisfy their adolescent urges through fantasy novels, entering this real fantasy world and experiencing the cultivation process firsthand can be addictive.

Xu Yuan is an example of this.

Let alone someone who has been craving cultivation for twenty years in their past life, even a child born in this world might become addicted to it.

......

After absorbing the soul, Xu Yuan incorporated the cultivation of his soul skills into his daily training.

The timeline was able to be adjusted because Zhenhua streamlined Xu Yuan's forging tasks. Zhenhua was not an unreasonable person; he knew that Xu Yuan could not give up the path of a Soul Master, so he no longer required Xu Yuan to do a lot of forging every day, but only once a week. The rest of the time, he only needed to do theoretical review and analysis.

Time passed by in fulfilling practice.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed since Xu Yuan awakened his martial spirit.

When he awakened, he only had level seven innate soul power. A month later, he fused with his first soul spirit, advanced to Soul Master, and directly reached level thirteen soul power.

Over the next eleven months, Xu Yuan's soul power also increased rapidly at a rate of one level every two months, and it is now at level eighteen.

"Xiao Yuan." Xu Shengqun found Xu Yuan and interrupted him as he was about to practice his soul skill.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

In just one year, Xu Yuan's body developed rapidly.

In the Douluo Continent, after a Soul Master awakens their Martial Soul, in addition to the natural development of their body, they will also undergo changes as their Martial Soul transforms and their Soul Power increases.

The most common scenario is that the increase in soul power leads to physical development; what is relatively rare is that a breakthrough in soul power can revitalize the body.

Xu Yuan's development was not too abnormal, but if he could only be called a child a year ago, he is now a teenager. Because he has been practicing marksmanship every day for the past year, his brows are filled with a sharp temperament.

"Xiao Yuan, do you still remember the direction your uncle planned for you?"

Xu Shengqun looked at his nephew in front of him with great emotion and a sense of pride.

Xu Yuan is his nephew, and he was personally trained by him. As for Mu Ye, wasn't it Xu Shengqun who contacted him and had Xu Yuan become his apprentice? Furthermore, Zhen Hua's guidance to Xu Yuan in forging was also due to Mu Ye's influence. Therefore, it is not wrong for Xu Yuan to say that he was trained by him.

Establishing a direction and plan is also a form of cultivation, and it is a fundamental form of cultivation.

Therefore, Xu Shengqun is quite confident in his planning abilities.

"Shrek?" Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and realized what his uncle was talking about.

He quickly frowned.

"Uncle, is Shrek Academy recruiting students this year? Are you asking me to go and participate in the recruitment now?"

Xu Shengqun smiled and shook his head.

"Of course not. Although you have a chance of passing Shrek Academy's recruitment with your current abilities, it's still not safe enough."

Xu Shengqun had some understanding of Shrek Academy's admission requirements.

Shrek Academy's recruitment methods are limited to a few tricks each year. Over time, the higher-ups of various factions have become familiar with the general process. However, to ensure the effectiveness of Shrek's assessments, they have an agreement with the various factions not to reveal this information to their juniors.

Shrek Academy has certain requirements for willpower and mentality when recruiting students. Xu Shengqun's concern is not Xu Yuan's willpower, but rather his mentality.

It's not that Xu Yuan has a bad character, but rather that he's too good.

Xu Yuan, who seems to be born with knowledge, has a very clear mind, but because of this, he lacks the youthful spirit. He thinks about problems very comprehensively, but he may also be eliminated because he is too realistic in his thinking.

Of course, the possibility of this is actually very low.

However, once you are eliminated at this stage, there will be no chance to come back three years later.

Therefore, Xu Shengqun was not in a hurry to make Xu Yuan participate in Shrek Academy's recruitment this year.

Even with Xu Yuan's current talent, passing this exam would almost certainly make him a shoo-in for an inner court disciple.

"Entering Shrek Academy too early is not good for you either."

All the assessments were secondary. What was most important was that Xu Shengqun didn't want Xu Yuan to enter Shrek Academy too early. Shrek Academy was very strong, but it also had a terrifying brainwashing ability.

Chapter 20: When to Take the Exam? (Please read on!!!)

Xu Shengqun wanted his nephew to go to Shrek Academy to learn cultivation. Although he didn't intend for Shrek to raise an ingrate, he definitely didn't want his nephew to be brainwashed by Shrek and completely become like Shrek.

What is Shrek's style?

Unreasonable, everything about them is strange.

Sometimes, in order to highlight their eccentricity, they would even let their exams affect the normal operation of the Federation. Xu Shengqun obviously did not want his nephew to become such a Soul Master.

Even though Xu Yuan is precocious, Xu Shengqun is worried that Xu Yuan's values ​​are not fully formed yet, and does not plan to send him to Shrek Academy at this time.

“Next year, your uncle plans to have you participate in Shrek Academy’s admissions three years from now,” Xu Shengqun said.

Xu Yuan was somewhat puzzled.

Aren't you participating in Shrek Academy's recruitment?

"Your uncle is still looking for you this time because he's considering your student recruitment three years from now."

Although Xu Yuan was to participate in the admissions process again in three years, Xu Shengqun did not intend to let Xu Yuan remain idle.

“Recently, an inner disciple from Shrek Academy has been appearing in Donghai City. His teacher is a member of Shrek Seagod Island. Although he did not graduate normally due to some unforeseen circumstances, he was still one of the best of his generation. He is currently teaching at Donghai Academy, and I plan to have you study under him for three years.”

Xu Yuan suddenly realized who his uncle was talking about.

Tian Bingwu Changkong left Shrek Academy because of his girlfriend's situation and has now come to Donghai City.

"Uncle, are you asking him to teach me?" Xu Yuan asked.

Xu Shengqun shook his head.

“You already have Mu Ye as your master, but he mainly teaches you the secret techniques of the Body Sect and helps you cultivate your Body Martial Soul. Your uncle, who cultivates your Heavenly Yuan Brush Martial Soul, can also teach you. In fact, you don’t need his guidance.”

Xu Yuan nodded, but this only made him more curious about why his uncle had asked him to go to Donghai Academy to find Wu Changkong.

"Uncle, I have some connection with his teacher. I only found out he came here because of his teacher's contact. After some investigation, I confirmed that he was at Donghai Academy."

Did my uncle have a connection with Zhuoshi?

Xu Yuan also found it strange.

It seems there's a reason why the uncle had little screen time in the later parts of the original novel...

"I'm sending you there this time so he can see your talent, and three years later he'll introduce you to his teacher."

Xu Yuan frowned, not understanding his uncle's actions.

"Uncle, with my talent, I should be able to enter Shrek Academy's inner courtyard even now, right?"

It's not that Xu Yuan is exaggerating, but that's the truth. Xu Yuan is blossoming in all aspects. He has already reached level 18 in just one year since he awakened his martial soul. This means that Xu Yuan will be able to break through level 20 before he is even eight years old. It will not be a problem for him to break through level 30 within two or three years. He is an eleven-year-old Soul Master, plus twin martial souls and a main martial soul, as well as a remarkable secondary profession talent.

This is more than enough for Xu Yuan to pass this year's enrollment.

It will only be more stable in three years.

Why bother asking Wu Changkong for an introduction?

Xu Shengqun looked at Xu Yuan and sighed.

“Xiao Yuan, entering Shrek Academy doesn’t mean everything is over. Your fundamental purpose in entering Shrek Academy is to seek its protection and avoid being targeted by the Eternal East Wind. Entering the Inner Court is one aspect, while attracting the attention of the Sea God Pavilion is another.”

You don't have to use back channels, but you should attract the attention of the corrupt world by making it appear as if you are using back channels.

At that time, he would ask Zhuoshi for help again. The assessment three years later would be overseen by a heavyweight figure, which would also attract the attention of more elders of the Sea God Pavilion.

This even attracted that person's attention.

Although it may seem a bit far-fetched, isn't it also a possible expectation?

If I could be accepted as a disciple by that person and enter Shrek Academy, that would be perfect.

"In the next three years, I will focus on teaching you spear techniques. You need to develop the spear stance within your martial spirit and form your own unique style. Only in this way can you achieve the best results in the assessment three years later."

Xu Yuan did not fully agree with Xu Shengqun's reasoning.

However, since it was ultimately for his own good, Xu Yuan had no reason to object.

I am aware of my own situation.

Xu Yuan was confident in his talent, but not so confident that he could attract Yun Ming to personally take him on as a disciple, at least not before the snowball effect began.

only--

"Uncle, why do I insist on becoming his disciple?" Xu Yuan felt that his uncle might have missed the point.
