According to the original description, Dugu Bo did not recognize the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire Spring, and did not even recognize the magical herbs and treasures growing on the edge of the spring. However, the two extreme spiritual energies emitted by the spring were able to suppress the backlash of the snake venom in Dugu Bo's body, making his practice easier.
Therefore, Dugu Bo had already designated the area near the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire as his own territory and regarded it as a treasure land.
Of course, one must protect what belongs to him. To this end, Dugu Bo set up a formation made of green phosphorus snake venom in the area near the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. Even if a powerhouse at the Soul Douluo level trespassed into the poison formation, he would be turned into pus in an instant if he was not careful.
Lu Buliang's soul power is only level 35. As a soul master, he doesn't know poison. How can he dare to break into the poison array set up by Dugu Bo? He has just arrived in this world and has no powerful force to support him, so how dare he provoke Dugu Bo.
Since you don't dare to provoke Dugu Bo, then start with his granddaughter Dugu Yan.
Join Heaven Dou Royal Academy, become Dugu Yan's teammate, and establish a good relationship with Dugu Yan. This will not only allow you to find out information about Dugu Bo, but also allow you to gain a clearer understanding of the knowledge related to the green phosphorus snake venom.
Secondly, Heaven Dou Royal Academy is the soul master academy with the richest cultivation resources. Joining the academy can provide better resources and grow rapidly.
This is also the reason why Lu Buliang, as a commoner, insisted on going to the aristocratic college.
Today happens to be the day when the college recruits new students.
Along the way, Lu Buliang found out that there are two conditions for Heaven Dou Royal Academy to recruit students.
The first is that one must be of noble birth.
The second is to hold a certificate of excellent student issued by the college's senior management.
Lu Buliang does not meet these two conditions, so he can only try his luck on this trip and see if he can meet the three major education committees mentioned in the original book.
The chief education committee member is Meng Shenji, the second education committee member is Bai Baoshan, and the third education committee member is Zhilin.
If he could meet one of the three, Lu Buliang firmly believed that with his unique shadow martial spirit, he would definitely be favored by the three of them and obtain the title of excellent student.
Lu Buliang thought of a way, which was to make a big fuss at the college gate and lure the three education committee members out. This way he could avoid the hassle of the registration process and directly meet and talk with the most authoritative people.
When the three education committee members see my abilities, they might directly grant me the qualification of an excellent student.
Glancing at the team beside him, Lu Buliang immediately gave up the idea of making a scene at the entrance of the academy. He had no money, no power, and no strength. Most of the people who came and went here were from aristocratic families. If he made a scene here, he would definitely attract the hostility of many aristocrats, not to mention whether he could attract the attention of the three education committee members.
If I meet a powerful noble, I'm done for.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Buliang put away the superior mentality of a transmigrator. Not all outstanding talents are equivalent to having a golden medal of immunity from death.
At the moment, what he needed was a stable time and place to develop, as his current strength was not enough to allow him to be rebellious.
They found a line and lined up obediently. About an hour later, it was finally Lu Buliang's turn to sign up.
Lü Buliang took a step forward and came to the middle-aged teacher who was in charge of handling the registration procedures for the students. He smiled slightly and said politely, "Hello, teacher. My name is Lü Buliang and I'm here to register."
After listening to the visitor's introduction, the middle-aged teacher's first glance fell on the other person's clothes.
After looking him up and down, the middle-aged teacher's lazy expression suddenly became serious. "From your attire, you don't seem to be a noble. You should have learned about the college's admission requirements before you registered, right?"
"I have learned about it." Lü Buliang replied, "I am a commoner."
"Commoner?" The middle-aged teacher was puzzled. "So, you have a certificate of excellent student? Which teacher in the academy gave it to you?"
"I don't have any proof." Lu Buliang said truthfully, "But my martial spirit is very rare on the continent and is an extremely special existence. With such a unique martial spirit, I should be qualified to become an excellent student."
The middle-aged teacher frowned, "What is your martial spirit?"
Lu Buliang smiled, "Shadow."
"Shadow? Your martial soul is your own shadow? There aren't many precedents like this on the continent." The middle-aged teacher touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Shadow is not a natural element, but a natural phenomenon. Elements can become martial souls, but can phenomena also become martial souls? Compared with other martial souls, what's so unique about your shadow martial soul?"
Lü Buliang responded, "The shadow spirit is an all-around spirit. It can control the enemy's shadow and develop towards the control system, it can also assist the friendly army's shadow and develop towards the auxiliary system, and it can also go the route of a sensitive attack spirit master. My spirit skills can control the enemy and assist teammates. On the battlefield, I am a control spirit master, and also an auxiliary spirit master."
"Oh?" The middle-aged teacher was obviously interested. "How old are you? How much innate soul power do you have? What level of soul power do you have now?"
"Eighteen years old. Now he is a level thirty-fifth soul master." Lu Buliang paused for a moment and continued, "Innate level seven soul power."
"Innate level seven?" The middle-aged teacher's eyes changed when he looked at Lv Buliang. "Innate level seven soul power talent is already very good on the continent. If you start practicing at level seven soul power at the age of six, and improve your soul power by two or three levels every year, you should be able to reach level thirty-five soul power at the age of eighteen. Your talent is not bad."
Hearing this, Lu Buliang was immediately delighted and asked, "Then do I qualify as an excellent student?"
"This…" The middle-aged teacher looked embarrassed and shook his head, "I can't make the decision on this. How about you write your personal information on the data card first, and then I will go to the college education committee to help you apply?"
At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded, "No need, Mr. Sun, let me handle him."
Lu Buliang and the middle-aged teacher looked towards the voice at the same time.
The person who spoke was a young teacher who looked to be around thirty years old.
When the voice fell, the young teacher was still far away, but when Lu Buliang looked at him, his figure had already appeared in front of him, and his flashing figure brought about a series of soul power fluctuations.
After several months of training, Lv Buliang had a clear understanding of martial spirits and spirit skills, which naturally made him more sensitive in terms of spirit power perception. This soul power aura that came to his face was enough to prove that the young teacher who appeared in front of him was quite powerful.
At the very least, he was stronger than any of the teachers and nobles present, and seemed to have more say than the middle-aged teacher.
"Qin Ming?" The middle-aged teacher's embarrassed expression suddenly improved, and he bowed slightly to the young teacher who came in front of him, "Teacher Qin, why are you here?"
Qin Ming also showed the same courtesy to the middle-aged teacher and said, "Teacher Sun, excuse me. I wanted to see the college's enrollment of new students this year, so I came here."
"Oh." The middle-aged teacher suddenly realized, "It seems that you have come to check on the registration of new students in the past two years. Why haven't you found the student you like?"
Qin Ming shook his head regretfully, "The students who joined the academy in the past two years were all excellent, but there was no auxiliary spirit master that I wanted."
The middle-aged teacher asked curiously, "With the assistance of Ye Lingling's Nine-Hearted Begonia, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team headed by Yu Tianheng should already have enough team endurance. The martial spirits and spirit rings of the other students are also in the best configuration. Such an outstanding team, can't it meet your requirements?"
Qin Ming shook his head again. "There are still three years until the All-Continental High-Level Soul Master Elite Competition. Learning from the lessons of the last competition, I found that a team with only Ye Lingling as a support system is far from enough."
"Although the Nine-Hearted Begonia's healing ability is overbearing, it is only healing. If you want to surpass your level and defeat the opponents with terrifyingly high spirit power from the Spirit Hall Academy or the Star Luo Empire Academy, you must find an auxiliary spirit master who can improve the team's combat ability."
"For two years, I have been looking for such auxiliary spirit masters in the academy. Unfortunately, they either have certain defects in their martial spirits, or have side effects in their auxiliary spirit skills, or their spirit power is too low and their talent is not enough to compare with Tianheng and others."
"Looking for a suitable auxiliary spirit master?" After listening to Qin Ming's explanation, the middle-aged teacher suddenly understood and glanced at Lv Buliang, "So, you are interested in his shadow spirit?"
Qin Ming's eyes also fell on Lv Buliang, "Yes. He has an innate seventh-level soul power and reached the thirty-fifth level at the age of eighteen. There may be a certain talent gap between Lu Buliang and Tianheng and others, but if the auxiliary effect of his soul skills is beneficial to the entire team, this talent gap is not important."
