516 – The Beginning Of Opportunities

TL : GoldenLung

Wang Tianyu looked at the students from Shrek Academy in front of him and said in a low voice, “Fighting is prohibited, all of you heard it.
But this refers to a real battle, not fighting for it.
After entering the Reclining Garden, all of you need to do is release your auras as much as possible so that the sleeping soul beasts here can sense your auras.
The strength of your auras will determine the interest of the soul beasts towards you.
So, this is not a place to be humble, it is a place for all of you to display your true selves.
Understand?”

“Understood.” The Inner and Outer Court students responded at the same time.

“Alright, then let’s get ready to set off.” Wang Tianyu did not say much.
The other parties also gave their own instructions.
All together, there were over a hundred people and they were already prepared to set off.

Bi Ji raised her hand and pointed to the depths of the forest ahead.
“This area is the Reclining Garden, and there is a barrier at the border.
You guys can explore by yourselves.
Don’t go beyond the border, or there might be danger.
Let’s begin now.
The time is one day.
If you haven’t encountered any suitable soul beasts by the end of the day, please return here.”

The various leaders gave the order to move out at the same time, and over a hundred people immediately moved and ran towards the forest.

Seeing their retreating figures, Tang Miao couldn’t help but ask, “Old Wang, why are there so many of you this time? And so many children too.
These children don’t have a strong enough aura, right?”

Wang Tianyu smiled bitterly and said, “There was an accident and we don’t expect them to really have any gains.
Just treat it as an increase in knowledge.” He simply told them about the first years’ year-skipping challenge.

Next to them, Yang Hui and Bai Lingshuang naturally heard it too.
Yang Hui said, “That Lan Xuanyu, you guys will absolutely keep him in the Inner Court, right?”

Wang Tianyu glanced at him.
“We’ll proceed according to the academy’s rules.”

Yang Hui scoffed.
“It would be weird if I believed you.
Are you guys willing to let go of such a talent? But I felt that this child’s cultivation isn’t that high just now.
He probably isn’t even at the four-ring realm.
There should be quite a number of people from Shrek Academy at this level, right? Don’t tell me that you specially brought him out to confuse us?”

Wang Tianyu glanced at him.
“Idiot.”

Yang Hui was taken aback and raged, “Why are you saying such nasty things to me?”

Wang Tianyu rolled his eyes.
“I’m just spouting nonsense.
You’re not convinced? When have I ever done anything to confuse others? Do you think I’m like you guys from the War God Temple?”

Upon hearing what he said, Yang Hui felt that it made sense.
Wang Tianyu was straightforward and didn’t get along well with him.
Although he was known for his strength in the soul master world, he didn’t have a lot of connections.
Tang Miao was much stronger than him in this aspect.
As one of the current leaders of the Tang Sect, Tang Miao was smooth and slick with all sorts of relationships.

Bai Lingshuang suddenly laughed and said, “Pavilion Master Wang has such a big temper! Yang Hui, we can’t afford to offend Shrek.
You should calm down.”

“Ahem.” Tang Miao coughed twice.
“Lingshuang, everyone is here to watch the ceremony.”

“So what? What I say has nothing to do with you.” Bai Lingshuang didn’t give him any face.

Tang Miao rubbed his nose and didn’t speak anymore.
He only smiled bitterly.

“You’re gutless.
I gave you so many chances back then, but you didn’t dare to chase after me.
You cowardly rat.” Bai Lingshuang took the initiative to approach Tang Miao.
Her beautiful eyes flickered as she spoke aggressively.

“Enough.” Tang Miao furrowed his brows and lowered his voice.

Seeing his gloomy expression, Bai Lingshuang restrained herself and didn’t say anything else.
Although she said that he was a coward, she didn’t dare to act rashly if he was really angry.

Bai Lingshuang knew very well that although this guy in front of her usually looked like a good person, when he was really angry, he was definitely terrifying.

The Tang Sect was usually very low-profile, but being low-profile didn’t mean that they were weak.
On the contrary, the low-profile Tang Sect had the highest technology in the entire Federation.
They were the ones who were leading the federation’s technology research.
It was publicly acknowledged in this aspect.

As for how far Tang Sect’s technology had progressed, even the federal government didn’t know.

The Federation couldn’t control these large forces and could only cooperate.

Tang Miao turned to Bi Ji and asked, “Senior Bi Ji, senior Di Tian’s tribulation time will not change, right? What do you need us to do?”

Bi Ji shook her head gently and said, “The time won’t change.
It has already been arranged.
If we can survive this disaster, then we are lucky.
If not…” At this point, her expression darkened.

After so many years, she knew very well what price Di Tian had paid for this opportunity to break through to god rank.
However, there seemed to be an invisible seal on all the soul beasts.
Even after leaving Douluo Planet, they were still unable to break free.

In the world of soul beasts, only two had truly reached the god rank because they had once followed a truly powerful God King.

After accumulating for so many years, Di Tian’s lifespan was about to reach its end.
If he didn’t break through, he wouldn’t have another chance.
So, he still wanted to try and see if he could break through that layer of restrictions.
And during this process, there was no one who could help him at all.
He could only rely on himself, even if the few people in front of him were already god-rank experts.

Thinking up to this point, even Bi Ji, who had the calmest temperament in the world of soul beasts, couldn’t help but feel sorrowful.
Why was this world so unfair to soul beasts? Why was it so difficult for soul beasts to cultivate and become gods?

At this moment, Lan Xuanyu and his companions had already entered the area of the Reclining Garden.
The other forces, including the Inner Court students of Shrek Academy, immediately dispersed to search for their own opportunities upon entering.
Only the first years did not scatter.

Xiao Qi didn’t follow them in.
He didn’t need any more Spirit Souls.
The commander was naturally Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu was the one who suggested that they not split up.
If it was in the past, only these few people from their small team would be willing to listen to his commands.
But it was completely different now.
This time, they had challenged the upper years and caused the entire first year to become unprecedentedly united.
In fact, without Lan Xuanyu’s team’s hard work, it was impossible for them to come here, much less have such an opportunity.

Hence, when Lan Xuanyu led the group into the Reclining Carden, everyone naturally gathered around him without him having to say a word.
They didn’t disperse as all 30 pairs of eyes stared at Lan Xuanyu.

The Bing Tianliang trio naturally refused to be separated from Lan Xuanyu.
Ever since Ding Zhuohan fought with Lan Xuanyu’s team previously, he had become somewhat fanatic about him.
Adding their original small team of five including Tang Yuge, there were nine of them, and this was when Yuanen Huihui and Qian Lei were not around.

“Class leader, what should we do?” Everyone surrounded Lan Xuanyu as Bing Tianliang giggled.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Actually, we aren’t familiar with this place, but I feel that there is a probability for everything.
If everyone trusts me, we will go together.
This might save us the most time and reduce the luck factor to the lowest.”

“The reason is very simple.
If we split up, whether or not we can encounter a soul beast that is suitable for us will depend entirely on luck.
Also, we are completely unfamiliar with this place and don’t know the distribution of the various soul beasts.
It can be said that we are completely clueless.
But if everyone gathers together, our Martial Souls, strengths, and bloodlines are all different.
When we encounter a soul beast, we can let the soul beast choose among us.
If it doesn’t choose anyone, then it wouldn’t be suitable for all of us.
But we have a total of over 30 people and everyone’s situation is different.
Everyone’s talent is quite good, so relatively speaking, the chances of being selected will increase greatly.
After being selected, everyone will decide whether or not to form a contract with the other party.
This way, it will save us the most time.
Every time we encounter a soul beast, there will be people who might be chosen.
Students who don’t agree with me can move on their own.
It’s all up to them.”

“I agree!” Ding Zhuohan was the first to raise his hand and Bing Tianliang agreed without hesitation.

Everyone understood the reasoning, and Lan Xuanyu’s analysis immediately resonated with everyone.
Although there might be competition, it would at least guarantee that the soul beasts they encountered would be the most likely to be selected.
No one knew how many soul beasts they would encounter in a day, and if they missed it, it was very possible that they would be taken away by other forces and lose the opportunity.
The most efficient way was to give 30 plus samples to a soul beast.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Lan Xuanyu didn’t delay and waved his hand.
“Let’s go!”

The 30-odd people slightly dispersed under his instructions.
Although they were moving together, they were not gathered in a particularly tight spot.
Instead, they were spread out like a net, with a distance of 20 to 30 meters between each person.
If there were any soul beasts, they would gather and let the soul beasts choose.
