Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

903 – Vice Pavilion Master Led the Team

....

TL: BluVerse

For their upcoming assessment, the academy had made thorough arrangements. Vice Pavilion Master Wang Tianyu from the Sea God Pavilion personally led the team.

As the Star Wars Experimental Class continued to grow and excel in the first two exams before graduation, their importance within the academy had grown significantly. Although Dragon Source Planet was not rated very high in terms of risk, the academy still attached great importance to it. Wang Tianyu led the team, ostensibly to supervise and ensure there was no cheating during the exam process. But in reality, his presence was more crucial for oversight. With his top-tier god-level cultivation, he could easily awe others, ensuring the safety of the young students from the Star Wars Experimental Class during the assessment.

A soul master who has reached the 99th level of cultivation, also known as the Limit Doulou, can be called a demigod powerhouse. Breaking through the 99th level and becoming a god is a God-level powerhouse. Breaking through the 110th level one will enter another realm, becoming a True God-level powerhouse. Above the 120th level, one will become a Super God-level powerhouse. These correspond to the third-level, second-level, and first-level gods in the former God Realm.

Super-God-tier experts were still an elusive existence within the Federation, yet to be seen. Even True God-tier experts were extremely rare, with God-tier experts being the pinnacle of combat prowess within the Federation.

The warship heading to Dragon Source Planet was provided by the Federal Sky Fighters Department as usual. To save time, Lan Xuanyu specifically applied on behalf of the 33 Sky Wings for the fastest transport ship available from the Sky Fighters Department. This would save them approximately two days of travel time.

Given the difficulty of their assigned mission and the levels of all third-level Sky Fighters Division members, the Sky Fighters Department approved their request.

Neither Tang Zhenhua nor Xiao Qi were allowed to accompany them this time. Only Vice Pavilion Master Wang, responsible for overseeing this assessment, joined them. The Sky Fighters Division’s missions were the most comprehensive assessment of their overall strength.

In terms of Star Wars, they had already demonstrated formidable combat prowess, not inferior to elite small fleets of the Federation’s military. Thus, the final assessment would evaluate their individual and team’s overall combat capabilities.

Wang Tianyu was actually quite eager to see how far these kids could go. From his perspective, he was genuinely reluctant to let most of them go to the Tang Sect after graduating from the Star Wars Experimental Class. This batch of students was the most outstanding group ever trained by Shrek Academy over the years. What was even more remarkable was their exceptional teamwork. The power of a whole team was incomparable to that of individuals.

As the spaceship smoothly flew through space, the students had all entered a meditative state. To be able to execute their tasks immediately upon arriving at Dragon Source Planet, they needed to maintain their optimal condition at all times.

Wang Tianyu sat in the frontmost seat, quietly sensing the surrounding tranquility and the uniform breathing sounds. With his strong spiritual power, he could naturally feel the vigorous vitality of these young people. They were all around eighteen years old, in the prime of their fastest growth period.

What achievements soul masters could reach before the age of eighteen almost determined their future foundation. For ordinary soul master academies, reaching four rings at eighteen was already considered talented. However, for Shrek Academy, one needed to achieve at least six or seven rings, or even eight rings.

Only those above seven rings could be considered geniuses with the possibility of entering the Inner Court, while six rings was already difficult to achieve.

Of course, there were exceptions, like Lan Xuanyu!

Lan Xuanyu was only at the five rings, but who would dare underestimate his five rings?

Wang Tianyu turned his head to look beside him, where Lan Xuanyu sat. With his eyebrows and hair blending, although his eyes were closed, his handsome face still looked so naturally striking.

In Wang Tianyu’s hundred years of experience, among all the men he had seen, Lan Xuanyu’s appearance could be said to be second to none. He was handsome yet masculine, just like his character—intelligent and wise yet steady.

While Lan Xuanyu’s innate talent was important, it was his ability to unite the entire Star Wars Experimental Class, making them the most cohesive group in the history of the academy, that the academy valued the most. Such leadership talent would surely receive special attention wherever he went.

When Lan Xuanyu successfully led his teammates through the Fourth-level Sky Fighters Division mission assessment, coupled with his identity as the heir of the School of Life, he had already caught the attention of the Sea God Pavilion.

As the heir of the School of Life, becoming a god was inevitable. Even if his own abilities were insufficient, the School of Life would spare no effort to help him break through to the god level.

At the same time, the heir of the School of Life was also bound to enter the Sea God Pavilion. Because what the School of Life mastered was also one of the core elements of Shrek Academy.

Therefore, the academy’s assessment and protection of Lan Xuanyu far exceeded that of other students. That was why there were situations like Elder Shu secretly accompanying him to the Sen Luo Planet and handing the Emerald Demon Warship to him. It was not the personal actions of Elder Shu or the Sen Luo Planet Soul Beast lineage but was approved by the Sea God Pavilion. The Emerald Demon Warship was meant to protect Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu himself didn’t even know that the moment he received the Emerald Demon Warship, it was already a symbol of the Sea God Pavilion’s recognition of his identity as the heir of the School of Life.

And he didn’t disappoint the Sea God Pavilion either. They knew he had forged the metal needed for the entire class’s two-word battle armor, and he had even reached the level of soul forging. All members of the Sea God Pavilion deeply appreciated this selfless act.

This graduation exam was also his final assessment by the academy. Once he entered the Inner Court, the academy would undoubtedly provide him with even stronger support in all aspects to facilitate his rapid advancement.

In their team, Lan Xuanyu and Tang Yuge had already been designated as the next generation of Shrek’s Seven Monsters. Lan Xuanyu was even considered to be groomed as the leader of the Shrek’s Seven Monsters. However, this was contingent upon his cultivation advancing further to demonstrate sufficient strength. After all, he was only at five rings now.

Of course, not only them but also other exceptionally talented disciples in the Inner Court had such qualifications. However, having this qualification while still in the Outer Court showed how much the academy valued him.

Wang Tianyu had always had some doubts about Lan Xuanyu’s martial soul. However, the Sea God Pavilion Master made a decisive judgment and personally vouched for him. Wang Tianyu vaguely guessed that Lan Xuanyu should have other teachers at the god-level. Just like the one he had personally faced before.

Later, he also checked the information about that person. What left him speechless was that the person turned out to be a famous singer in the federation, now even having the title of a generation’s singing god, becoming the hottest figure in the federation. How many people knew that this person was a god-level expert! It wasn’t even impossible for him to be a True God-level expert.

Finding a mentor for Lan Xuanyu in the Inner Court was now a problem. Given the uniqueness of Lan Xuanyu’s martial soul, the School of Life was obviously not enough. Finding a teacher for him in the Inner Court was the top priority. It was certain that a god-level expert was needed, and there were already true god-level experts willing to be his teacher.

With these thoughts echoing in his mind, Wang Tianyu withdrew his gaze. He wasn’t really worried about this Fifth-level Sky Fighters Division mission to Dragon Source Planet. He was more concerned about these inexperienced young folks giving him some “surprises.” Dragon Source Planet was now one of the most important resource planets in the federation. So, while protecting them, he also intended to monitor and control the situation.

As a Sky Fighters Division member, he was also a high-level one. A Seventh-level Sky Fighters Division member! Yes, despite being a top-tier god-level expert, he was only a Seventh-level Sky Fighters member. In fact, in the entire federation, there were only three Ninth-level Sky Fighters members. There were not more than ten Eighth-level Sky Fighters members either. They were either supremely talented or had made outstanding contributions to the federation.
