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

"Everyone, why are you all in my room?" Tang Wulin resisted the urge to get up and stretch, crossed his arms, and asked warily.

He had absorbed all the medicinal power from the bucket of water, which should have been clear water. However, because his skin had cracked when he fused with the second seal of the Golden Dragon King, a large amount of blood had seeped into the water, turning it red and making it impossible to see anything.

However, out of subconscious reflex, Tang Wulin still reached out to block.

After he finished speaking, he was taken aback, and then realized the possible problem.

"How long have I been in seclusion this time?"

"Captain, the assessment is over." Xie Xie stared at Tang Wulin resentfully. He'd gone into seclusion and missed the entire assessment period.

The purpose of the retreat was to ensure a more secure assessment, but the retreat time was accidentally delayed for too long, and now the assessment cannot be taken.

Captain, you're really good at preparing.

"Captain, none of us participated in the assessment," Xu Xiaoyan said pitifully.

She truly lived up to her reputation as the "Queen of Finishing Off," as one of her words at that moment made Tang Wulin feel even more guilty.

Seeing Tang Wulin's expression, Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie felt secretly pleased.

Your seclusion made us worry, so it's only natural for us to tease you a little now.

Tang Wulin quickly noticed the anomaly and looked at Xie Xie.

Where is the dance teacher?

"Of course he went to plead for us," Xie Xie said irritably.

"I was careless this time. I lost the big picture for a small gain, and I dragged everyone down with me," Tang Wulin said remorsefully.

He was capable of reflection, and secretly resolved that he would never make the same mistake again.

......

The assessment for Class Zero was conducted as usual.

Wu Changkong secured a make-up exam opportunity for the four students in Class Zero, but their inner court exam was changed to an outer court exam, meaning that even if they passed, they could only study in the outer court.

The difference is that Gu Yue did not go against Cai Yue'er because of Tang Wulin, and politely refused Cai Yue'er's offer to take him as a disciple, citing that his teacher was the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.

Although Cai Yue'er felt sorry for him, she couldn't show it. After all, he already had a teacher. If she were to show any displeasure over this, it would be truly petty, not just playing the bad cop.

......

While Class Zero was undergoing assessments, Xu Yuan was cultivating.

"Xiao Yuan, come to Seagod Island."

As Yun Ming's voice echoed in his mind, Xu Yuan slowly reduced the flow of his soul power. After calming down his soul power, he got up and headed towards Seagod Island.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

"Well, you and Xu Lizhi should go to the outer courtyard for some training."

"what?"

Xu Yuan remembered that it would probably be several months or even half a year before the inner academy kicked them out and sent them to study in the outer academy.

Yun Ming was helpless.

There are quite a few geniuses this year, which perfectly meets his criteria for selecting the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils. However, news of Tang Wulin's performance in yesterday's competition has also reached him. Combined with the information he has gathered about Tang Wulin, he judges that Tang Wulin is a leader.

In order to ensure that Xu Yuan could smoothly become the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils in the future, the only option was to send Xu Yuan over immediately to suppress any dissent and establish his authority.

"Xu Yuan, Xu Lizhi, Ye Xinglan, Tang Wulin, Wu Siduo, and Yuan Enyehui from the second year can also join. We're still missing one..."

It's not that there aren't other geniuses with the potential to become the Seven Devils; rather, there are too many geniuses. Therefore, the overall requirements for selecting this generation of Shrek Seven Devils will be higher, and the best will be chosen from among the geniuses.

Xu Yuan did not ask any questions.

It would be boring if everything unfolded exactly as described in the original story.

The current minor disturbances are actually disappointing.

"My butterfly wings aren't flapping vigorously enough," Xu Yuan thought to himself.

"There are many talented students among this year's freshmen. Although your soul power level is definitely the highest in this year's class, you still need to be careful and not be careless."

Wu Siduo, ranked highest among the five young geniuses in this year's list, is actually the youngest of the five, and her soul power seems to have reached level forty...

Chapter 101 A Prodigy of Our Time (Please Subscribe!!!)

Xu Yuan has amazing talent, but the Douluo Continent has never lacked geniuses.

With the development of soul guidance technology and the accumulation of soul masters generation after generation, the proportion of soul masters who awaken their martial souls and generate soul power in the Douluo Continent today is far greater than it was ten thousand years ago, and there are countless soul masters who have awakened high innate soul power.

This is the result of the development of the Soul Master world.

As a Soul Master cultivates, they may be limited by their Martial Soul and be stuck at a certain level for life. However, a low quality Martial Soul does not mean that the upper limit is completely locked. If they can always have a powerful Soul Ring, they still have the opportunity to defy fate.

Such examples are rare in an era, even over a decade or several decades, but they are never lacking in the course of history spanning thousands of years.

These mutated martial souls are inherited, and after several generations of bloodline optimization within the family, with the development of the times, there are more and more powerful martial souls, and naturally, there are more and more soul masters with high innate soul power.

It's not that a powerful martial soul necessarily comes with high innate soul power, but inheriting a powerful martial soul increases the probability of having high innate soul power.

This is only the transformation history of a few martial souls. Most martial souls do not become powerful after one generation of mutation. Instead, they are passed down from generation to generation of soul masters, whose highest level is only Great Soul Master. The transformation of the martial soul bloodline brought about by each soul ring is inherited. This process accumulates generation after generation, and finally, quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

The overall quality of the martial spirit is also improved as a result.

This is a development trend determined by the times.

From 20,000 years ago to 10,000 years ago, only the former underwent a transformation; from 10,000 years ago to the present federal era, the latter has been added.

……

Xu Yuan is already extremely abnormal, reaching level 40 at the age of twelve, which is definitely the fastest in this generation across the entire continent.

However, this year's freshmen are not without their rivals.

Wu Siduo, also thirteen years old, is also a Soul Master. The exact time when she broke through to level forty is uncertain, but she is indeed a Soul Master now, and there is no difference in soul power level between her and Xu Yuan.

Youming Wu Siduo, in the Spirit Pagoda's ranking list, she is named Youming, but this does not refer to her martial soul Youming Spirit Cat, but rather to the Ghost White Tiger formed by the fusion of her twin martial souls!

That's right, she also has twin martial souls.

Moreover, unlike the twin martial souls of the past, her two martial souls possess a martial soul fusion skill, which allows her to achieve a self-fusion skill of martial souls!

Although it's just a fusion of martial souls performed by a Soul Master, giving the initial impression that it's not as powerful as the fusion of martial souls of two level 40 Soul Masters, in reality, the power of her self-fused martial soul fusion skill is no less than that of two people performing it.

Compatibility!

That's the key.

The compatibility between his two martial souls is arguably the highest among all martial soul fusion techniques recorded, with the exception of a few abnormal cases.

Wu Siduo not only possesses great talent in martial spirit, but she is also diligent in cultivation and learning secondary professions, placing her in the top tier among her peers.

Of course, Xu Yuan's secondary profession and Tang Wulin's blacksmith level are both level four, so perhaps they should be listed separately. This would reveal Wu Siduo's only 'weakness': her secondary profession level is only in the second tier...

Compared to Xu Yuan, Wu Siduo is far behind in many aspects of progress, but the existence of her self-fusion martial soul skill makes Yun Ming remind Xu Yuan to be careful.

The level 30 Wu Siduo is not a big threat, because a level 30 person cannot support a spirit fusion skill. However, her spirit power has reached level 40, so she can engage in a short battle with her own spirit fusion skill without overdrawing herself.

"Teacher, believe me, I will be the strongest of this era," Xu Yuan said confidently.

Since he began practicing, his many achievements have also given him confidence.

Bloodline?

Cheating?

I'm sorry, but I also have a father, and I have my own advantages.

Putting aside everything else, Xu Yuan's spiritual talent at the age of twelve, at the Spirit Abyss Realm, proves that he may catch up with Gu Yuena in terms of spiritual progress.

Among them, the most difficult is probably not the Spirit Realm, but the Divine Origin Realm—a realm that no Soul Master has yet reached. (There are too many contradictions in the original work; I am re-examining the levels of the top experts.)

Seeing Xu Yuan's confident demeanor, Yun Ming couldn't help but smile.

Yes, since they are my disciple Yunming, they should naturally inherit my title as the best in the world.

Yunming sighed.

Yes, so what if it's a self-fusion martial soul technique?

My disciple is no less capable than her!

……

Xu Yuan learned from Yun Ming that he was to study in the outer academy, so he had to temporarily change his plans.

The outer academy is different from the inner academy; it has many courses and will take up too much of your energy.

Xu Yuan knew why Yun Ming had transferred him there, and he also knew that sharing these efforts was necessary.

For my own Shrek in the future!

"The Shrek Seven Devils of this generation must all stand behind me!"

A sharp glint flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes.

"Since I'm going to the outer courtyard, it'll be impossible to cultivate all day long. However, it won't have much impact on most of the deduction tasks I perform in the dream space."

The Phantom Beast possesses the soul skill of creating phantom clones, but it is not compatible with Xu Yuan. Therefore, when bestowing a soul skill upon Xu Yuan, it gave him a different soul skill.
