Chapter 52: Introduction
"Hello everyone, I am your homeroom teacher, Chen Wenwen. Over the next three years, I will teach you the foundational knowledge of the actual control soul master. Now, I would like each of you to introduce yourselves. Please share your name, martial soul, and innate soul power level."
A beautiful woman in her twenties, exuding a gentle and literary aura, walked into the classroom and approached the podium, speaking softly.
Her demeanor was calm and kind, which encouraged a more confident student to step forward first. He stood on the stage and introduced himself: "My name is Xie Wenyuan. My martial soul is a sword, and my innate soul power is at the seventh level."
Xie Wenyuan, a slightly chubby boy, summoned his martial soul, a simple long swordz with a flash of white light in his hand.
The sword had no soul ring, indicating that he had not yet obtained his first soul ring.
Chen Wenwen clapped her hands gently and smiled. "Xie Wenyuan, that's wonderful. I believe you will definitely become a Title Douluo in the future. Keep up the good work!"
Praise from the gentle and beautiful teacher made Xie Wenyuan's chubby face flush with excitement.
He glanced proudly at his classmates, feeling a surge of confidence.
Inspired by Xie Wenyuan's boldness, other students eagerly stepped forward to introduce themselves.
They shared their names, martial souls, innate soul power levels, hobbies, and future aspirations.
Some wanted to become powerful soul masters, while others dreamed of achieving greatness in different fields.
Whenever a student revealed a powerful martial soul or high innate soul power, the class would erupt in exclamations of awe.
Teacher Chen Wenwen would offer words of praise and encouragement, further motivating the students.
This was the Mingdu Junior Soul Master Academy, after all.
The actual control soul master class, consisting of over 30 students, was filled with talented individuals.
None of the students who introduced themselves had innate soul power below level five.
This was expected, as the actual control soul master class emphasized powerful martial souls, unlike the soul guide department, which had more lenient requirements.
As a result, the actual control soul master class had only one group, while the soul guide department had over a dozen classes.
In the Sun and Moon Empire, the status of actual control soul masters was not as high as that of soul engineers.
The introductions proceeded quickly, and soon it was the turn of Liuxing and his group.
Under the watchful eyes of his classmates, Liuxing stepped onto the stage and nodded respectfully at Teacher Chen Wenwen.
Standing at the podium, he spoke softly but confidently: "Hello, classmates. My name is Liuxing. My martial soul is the Molten Knight, and I have full innate soul power. Currently, I am a fourteenth-level, first-ring soul master."
As he spoke, flames erupted around him. His right hand was enveloped in a silver-white mecha, and a light purple soul ring emerged, releasing a faint but palpable soul power. The aura was so intense that several students near the podium instinctively held their breath.
The classroom was in an uproar. Chen Wenwen gently covered her mouth with her right hand, her eyes wide with astonishment. "A millennium soul ring? How is this possible?" she exclaimed softly.
"Wow, amazing!"
"What kind of martial soul is that? It looks so cool!"
"Liuxing is so handsome!"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the classroom erupted into chatter.
The students couldn't contain their excitement, and several girls gazed at Liuxing with sparkling eyes, their admiration evident.
Among the students who had introduced themselves earlier, Xie Wenyuan, the chubby boy with innate seventh-level soul power, had already been considered a genius.
In the Sun and Moon Empire, such talent was rare and usually found only among the imperial family or the most ancient and prestigious clans.
With his innate seventh-level soul power, Xie Wenyuan had a real chance of becoming a Title Douluo if he pursued the soul master path diligently, even if he relied on medicinal aids.
At the very least, he could reach the level of a Soul Sage.
However, the Sun and Moon Empire was not like the original Douluo Continent, where top-tier martial souls were more common.
Here, high-level martial souls were already considered exceptional, and top-tier ones were exceedingly rare.
Gu Yuena, however, remained calm amidst the excitement.
To her, Liuxing's display of talent was expected for someone chosen by the Goddess of Life.
Yet, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Her keen senses had detected something unusual, Liuxing's Molten Knight martial soul was of the fire attribute, but there was also a faint trace of destructive energy within his soul power.
Could he truly be the heir of the Goddess of Life, and not the God of Destruction?
But the divine aura of life emanating from him was unmistakable. Gu Yuena was confident in her judgment.
Liuxing, seemingly indifferent to the admiring, jealous, and amazed gazes of his classmates, nodded politely at Teacher Chen Wenwen and stepped down from the podium.
Though he appeared calm, a small part of him felt a thrill at the attention.
After all, even someone as composed as him couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment, even if it was just in front of a group of children.
"It's my turn! It's my turn!" Xu Tianzhen couldn't wait to take the stage.
She loved the idea of impressing her classmates and gaining a group of admirers.
As expected, when Xu Tianzhen, Ye Guyi, and Liuying introduced themselves one after another, the excitement in the classroom reached new heights.
Even Chen Wenwen struggled to maintain her composure, her face betraying her astonishment.
"My name is Gu Yuena. My martial soul is the Silver Dragon, and I have full innate soul power. I am currently a thirteenth-level soul master."
With Gu Yuena's introduction, the self-introductions came to an end.
However, many students, including Chen Wenwen, were still in a daze, unable to fully process what they had just witnessed.
Liuying glanced at Gu Yuena, her eyes narrowing slightly.
The little dragon girl with silver dragon wings protruding from her back was undoubtedly extraordinary.
Xu Tianzhen, Ye Guyi, and Liuxing also turned their attention to Gu Yuena. She was the only one in the class who could rival their talents.
Liuxing frowned thoughtfully.
The Silver Dragon martial soul was a true dragon bloodline, said to be the origin of all elemental dragon clans in legend.
In terms of quality, it surpassed even Ye Guyi's Angel martial soul and Xu Tianzhen's Sun martial soul.
Although Gu Yuena's first soul ring was only yellow, her innate full soul power indicated that her bloodline purity was undoubtedly high.
Chen Wenwen finally regained her composure. She looked at Liuxing and the others with a mix of surprise and pride.
As a teacher, the quality of her students directly impacted her reputation and treatment.
This year, she had hit the jackpot,five
students with full innate soul power, two of whom even possessed millennium soul rings as their first soul rings.
She could already imagine the envy and jealousy of her colleagues when she returned to the teacher's office.
In this era, while innate soul power was no longer as rare as it had been 10,000 years ago, it was still a prerequisite for becoming a Title Douluo.
Having five students with full innate soul power in a single class was unprecedented. When word spread, the entire academy would be abuzz with excitement.
