Everything starts with Douluo...
Chapter 9 Unexpected Surprise
Old Jack waited outside the door for a long time before seeing the two of them come out. Perhaps because he was going to Notting City, Old Jack also wore a new suit of clothes today, looking even more hale and hearty.
Walking on the road, Tang Zhe and Tang San silently followed Old Jack, looking back in the direction of the village from time to time.
"Xiao Zhe, Xiao San, you two took three steps and turned back. Are you reluctant to leave the village or your alcoholic father?" Jack touched Tang San's head, then touched Tang Zhe's head, and asked with a smile.
"A little bit." Tang San replied in a low voice.
"Don't worry, Xiao San. Dad will take good care of himself. We can come back to see his father when the academy takes a break." Tang Zhe looked at this younger brother who was a little younger than him. He still loved him very much. In that world, he didn't even have a younger brother. None of my sisters.
"Yeah" Tang San said softly, lowering his head.
Jack looked at the two six-year-old children and smiled slightly, and said: "Compared with my useless grandchildren, you two children are much more sensible. It would be great if one of you two was my grandson." . That drunkard Tang Hao is really lucky. Don’t think too much. The world outside is very vast. When you go to the academy, you will meet many friends and learn a lot of knowledge. When you two have the title of soul master, the country will I will give you a monthly subsidy, and by then, your family’s life will be better.”
After all, Tang Zhe and Tang San were two people in two lives. Although they were in two different worlds, after listening to Jack's words, their emotions gradually returned to normal. They couldn't bear the longing for the outside world in their hearts and asked: "Grandpa Jack, can you tell us about the academy?" Huh? Where exactly is that place?"
Jack smiled and said: "Of course the college is a place for study. Although I have never been to it, I still know most of it. Our village has a quota for work-study students every year, but there have been no work-study students for many years. Work-study students There are still many preferential conditions for students. Tuition and accommodation fees are waived, and you only need to pay for food. You can do some simple jobs in the college in exchange for food. For example, cleaning the classroom. Generally speaking, Studying in the academy for work-study students is almost free. If you have to pay to study, it is not something we poor people can afford. So Tang San, you are much better than your brother. You know how to help your brother go to the academy? How much did the village pay? Hey."
"So you two should study hard and strive to become powerful soul masters."
Hearing Old Jack's words, Tang Zhe suddenly felt pressure. He didn't know how much money he spent to support himself in the academy village, but it must have been a lot. The village might not be able to afford it. Old Jack went to other villages to borrow it. Tang San also paid attention to it. Tang Zhe's face turned a little pale when he arrived. He also knew that the village was not rich.
"Brother, don't worry, I will help you. The money I save from being a work-study student will help you." Tang San comforted Tang Zhe.
"Haha, it's you, mistress? Lan Yincao? Don't worry, if this difficulty won't trouble your brother, just take care of yourself. You don't have to worry about my affairs." He was still very happy with Tang San's comfort. He felt family affection, but his brother was his brother and he had to carry it on his own. He didn't believe it. How could he starve to death despite being systematic?
"
Since Tang Zhe and Tang San were born with full soul power, Old Jack already regarded them as soul masters, especially Tang Zhe, who had a weapon soul and was born with full soul power.
I still have the existence of the system, and the future is limitless. If Tang Zhe knew what Old Jack thought, he would definitely refute Old Jack.
"Grandpa Jack, when can we go to the intermediate soul master academy?" Tang Zhe believed that he had the system, even if the system was trying to trick him, he would go further and faster than others in the soul master academy, so he had already planned to open a future academy. On the way, if he remembered correctly, there should be an intermediate soul master academy.
"Oh? Xiao Zhe didn't expect you to know about the Intermediate Soul Master Academy?" Old Jack looked at Tang Zhe in a different light, but he didn't expect this kid to know this.
"If there is an elementary level, there must be an intermediate level." Tang Zhe thought for a while and replied, I can't tell you that I have read the "Douluo Dalu" novel, right? Spoilers ahead.
Tang San looked at Jack and Tang Zhe doubtfully, and said: "Is there an intermediate soul master academy? What is the difference between it and the junior soul master academy? They are both academies, and they should all teach the knowledge of soul masters."
"Xiao San, why do you have so many questions? One hundred thousand why? I asked this first." Tang Zhe was a little helpless. This younger brother had too many questions, more than himself.
"Brother, what are one hundred thousand whys?" Tang San always asked when he didn't understand. He had never heard of this, so he asked Tang Zhe.
"Yeah? What is a hundred thousand whys? I haven't heard of it either." Old Jack was also confused. As the head of a village, he didn't expect that Tang Zhe knew a little more than him.
Tang Zhe's face was dark. Forget it, I'd better shut up. This is beyond my ability to explain, otherwise it wouldn't be called a hundred thousand reasons.
Seeing that Tang Zhe didn't answer, Old Jack and Tang San stopped asking the question.
Old Jack continued Tang Zhe's previous question and patiently explained to Tang San: "Of course it's different. The junior soul master academy teaches some basic things, and there are also some cultural courses to learn. Only those who have just awakened the martial soul can accept As a student, a child's schooling lasts for six years. When they are twelve years old, if they have no future, they will become an ordinary soul master. But if they have good potential, most people will choose to study in an intermediate soul master academy. Keep studying. To the age of eighteen. The things taught in the Intermediate Soul Master Academy are more advanced, but the difficulty of learning will also be greatly increased. If you cannot meet the requirements of the academy, you will not be able to graduate successfully. This is different from the Junior Soul Master Academy. "
At this time, Tang Zhe had to complain: "Grandpa Jack, how come you know everything?"
"The more people ask, the more they will understand." Old Jack replied to Tang Zhe.
Tang Zhe's face turned dark again. Why didn't he think old Jack was so naughty before?
Tang San said: "There are elementary and intermediate levels, so there must be advanced levels?"
Hearing Tang San's question, Tang Zhe didn't want to say anything to him anymore, just let him do whatever he wanted.
Old Jack nodded, with a hint of envy in his eyes, "You don't have to think about the Advanced Soul Master Academy. Not just anyone can enter. In our Tiandou Empire, there are only two Advanced Soul Master Academy in total. The total number of students enrolled in the academy each year is less than a hundred. It is the cradle of the future. All students who graduate from the Advanced Soul Master Academy, whether it is the country or the Spirit Hall, will rush for them and will be directly awarded the nobility. title."
"Noble? Such good conditions." Tang San said in surprise.
Old Jack said: "Of course. The soul master is the most noble profession, especially the high-level soul master. They are all talents. Therefore, if we commoners want to reach the sky in one step, becoming a high-level soul master is obviously the best shortcut. However, how many ordinary people from ordinary backgrounds can possess such a good martial spirit? Even if they do, without the support of a big family, it will be difficult to graduate from the Advanced Soul Master Academy."
"The graduation exam is your own business, why do you need help from others?" Tang San was still very curious about this, because he didn't know much about this aspect either.
"Tang San, you are so stupid." I didn't expect that Tang San, the future generation of god kings, would be so stupid.
"Of course it's because of power. One person's power is limited, but the power of the family is great. Whatever you want, using the power of the family to fight for it is often very profitable, but it is not the case for a single person. It may even be possible You will pay the price with your life." Tang Zhe explained to Tang San that this was an eternal principle throughout the ages.
Old Jack nodded, thinking that what Tang Zhe said made sense, but he still sighed and said: "This is the gap. The gap between the poor and the rich, the common people and the nobles. The requirements for graduating from the Junior Soul Master Academy are very simple, as long as the martial soul To be able to reach the tenth level, you can obtain a soul ring under the leadership of the academy teacher and successfully advance to the title of soul master. This is not difficult, as long as children with martial soul power when awakening can do it. It is said that soul The tenth level soul power of a Shizheng Soul Master is the easiest to improve."
"But it's different when you go to the Intermediate Soul Master Academy. If you want to graduate from here, your martial spirit must reach level , and you can get the second soul ring and the title of Great Soul Master. Level to level , is something that many soul masters cannot achieve in their lifetime. Moreover, after reaching the twentieth level, if you want to obtain a soul ring, you must rely on your own strength to hunt and kill soul beasts to obtain a soul ring. That is extremely dangerous. If you are born in a noble Family, accompanied by family warriors, is naturally much less dangerous. However, soul masters like us who come from ordinary backgrounds can only rely on themselves."
"The graduation requirements of Advanced Soul Master Academy are even more stringent. Only by passing the bottleneck of level and obtaining the third soul ring can one rise from the title of great soul master to the title of soul master. It is said that level is a threshold. In the past, you could be called a powerful soul master and a real nobleman. If you can't pass it, it will be difficult. Moreover, there seems to be some restrictions on obtaining a soul ring at level . Specifically, you should learn it in the academy. .Anyway, it seems that less than one-third of the students of the Advanced Soul Master Academy can actually graduate."
After listening to Old Jack's words, Tang San had some basic impressions of Douluo Continent's teachings to soul masters, but Tang Zhe was thinking about other things.
"Should I be alone in Douluo Continent and rely on the system to create a legend of my own, or should I follow Tang San in my humble development?" Tang Zhe had been thinking in his heart, so torn.
One is in danger of life, and he doesn't think he can be reborn again if he doesn't play well and collapses, while the other can just lie down peacefully, no matter how bad it is for him to follow Tang San as his brother. You can also play with a second-level god.
While Tang Zhe was thinking about it, Tang San asked again. "Grandpa Jack, didn't you say that there are as many as ten titles of soul masters? Students who graduate from the Advanced Soul Master Academy are soul masters. So how can you obtain the following titles?"
Old Jack smiled wryly and said: "How do I know? Beyond the title of Soul Venerable, they are all big men, like the Soul Sage who came out of our village, who was directly supported by the state at the beginning. I heard people say that the soul Master's cultivation is more difficult and dangerous as you go to the back. How many can truly reach the top level existence like Title Douluo? It can even be said that there are no such existences in our Tiandou Empire and Star Luo Empire now? Not even sure."
"Hey, hey, hey, you have scolded a Titled Douluo before. If you say it, it will last you a lifetime." After hearing these words, Tang Zhe came back from the multiple-choice question and thought to himself.
"By the way, some people in the past life speculated that Old Jack was a very mysterious and powerful existence. I don't know if it is true." Tang Zhe recalled everything in the past six years. It seems that this is not the case. No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary person. He's just lucky enough to have scolded a titled Douluo, and it would be enough for him to brag about it for a while.
Old Jack only had some basic understanding of soul masters, and what he said was not detailed. Tang San understood that he could only explore this knowledge slowly in the academy. Especially about things like soul beasts and soul rings.
It was not far from Holy Soul Village to Notting City. The two of them walked for half a day and ate some dry food on the way. In the afternoon, they could already see the city wall in the distance.
Although Notting City is not a big city, but because it is very close to the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, the city walls were built thickly.After Tang San and Old Jack accepted the same inspection as the passers-by, they entered Notting City.
"Xiao Zhe, mistress, grandpa will send you to the college later and go back. You must obey the teacher's instructions when you are alone in the college, and never leave the college without authorization. Xiao Zhe, as an older brother, you must take good care of your younger brother until the end of the semester. When the time comes, Grandpa Jack will come to pick you up again. It will be almost the Chinese New Year by then."
After all, this was the first time Tang San had left home, and he was somewhat panicked. He subconsciously said, "Grandpa Jack, are you leaving so soon?"
Tang Zhe, on the other hand, was not so panicked, and was even a little happy because the system, which had been silent for a while, released a task.
"Hahaha, spring is here, and I finally left Novice Village." Tang Zhe was very happy, but there was no trace of happiness on his face, and he was even a little sad. After all, Old Jack was about to return to the village, and he was always Can't you laugh? Will eat and beat.
Side missions:
Punish the gatekeeper who is looking for trouble (the degree of punishment depends entirely on the host, but it cannot lead to death.)
mission rewards:
Fighting Skills - The Legend of Milon·Knife Cutting Sword·Golden Skyline (from Star Travels - The Second Generation of Milon)
Tang Zhe was very happy when he saw this side mission, not to mention that the mission was so simple. But when he saw the mission reward, Tang Zhe was stunned.
"This, this, this, is the golden skyline?"
"Destroy all enemies without stopping, the golden skyline." Tang Zhe's eyes suddenly turned red, and he subconsciously read this sentence, Youth, Star Travels.
"It was so sudden. I didn't expect that I could use the fighting skills in Star Travels. It was so sudden that I didn't even have any precautions." Tang Zhe didn't want to say anything more and held back his tears to prevent them from flowing down.
Tang San and Old Jack didn't notice Tang Zhe's change at all.
Old Jack smiled bitterly and said: "The hotel is not something that poor people like us can afford to live in. You two must keep up the good work. When grandpa sees you next time, I hope you both have become soul masters. In that case, our Holy Soul Village We will all be proud of you.”
Notting Junior Soul Master Academy is located in the west of Notting City. Old Jack asked passers-by several times and finally brought the two brothers here.
From a distance, they had seen a tall arch. The arch was twenty meters wide and ten meters high. It was made of hard rock. There were two iron gates underneath. They were dark. Tang Sanyi You can tell right away that it is made of fine iron.
Through the iron fence, you can see that there is a winding path leading to the secluded, a large road leading directly to the interior, and there are tall trees on both sides.
In the middle of the arch, there are four large characters, "Notting College."
Just from the gate of the academy, you can see how important the soul master profession is in Douluo Continent. This is just a junior soul master academy.
As soon as Old Jack, Tang Zhe, and Tang San walked to the gate, they were immediately stopped by the young man guarding the gate, "What are you doing? Is this a place where you country folk can come?"
Old Jack's clothes were already well-dressed in Saint Soul Village, but when he arrived in Notting City, he looked like a countryman, and the concierge looked at him with a bit of disdain.
Hearing this voice, a smile appeared on Tang Zhe's face: "The flowers you have been waiting for have all faded. Golden Skyline, Legend of Miron, Star Travels, here I come."
