Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky

Chapter 31, Level 9, Chapter 3, Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin

The two were studying the map in their hands and discussing their opinions. Suddenly, with a creak, a door at the far east end opened. Attracted by the sound, they stuck their heads out of the classroom window to look.

A group of boys and girls aged eleven to twelve filed out, but instead of dispersing, they formed a circle around a short-haired girl who was already wearing a moon-white school uniform.

As if by telepathy, the short-haired girl looked in the same direction as Kong Tianxu the instant he looked up, their eyes meeting in mid-air. But it wasn't eye contact. Xu Tianzhen was slightly taken aback when she saw the handsome silver-haired, purple-eyed boy, and then prepared to make her gaze even more menacing to scare him.

But the next moment she realized that Kong Tianxu seemed to only glance at her and ultimately did not look in her direction. Following his gaze upwards, she saw a sign.

It says on it: Physical Fitness Testing Room.

How dare they ignore this princess in such a way! Xu Tianzhen gritted her teeth, her cheeks puffed out adorably, determined to crush the other party in the entrance examination she had specially prepared for.

Kong Tianxu was not only looking at Xu Tianzhen or the sign, although Xu Tianzhen also had important significance in his plan, but now something more worthy of his attention had appeared.

Behind the metal sign, on a slope that must be passed from the Mingdetang area to the first-grade teaching building, an elderly man walked briskly.

The old man was tall, bald, with a ruddy complexion and piercing eyes.

Kong Tianxu's cheek twitched. He now understood what Elder Tong meant by saying that the teaching staff was very strong.

Ye Yulin, the Starry Sky Douluo, ranks third among ninth-level Soul Masters, second only to his grandfather and Death God Douluo Ye Xishui. He is an absolute genius in the creation of Soul Tools, and is no less capable than Jing Hongchen, the youngest ninth-level Soul Master of Mingde Hall.

Both are level nine Soul Masters, but their research focuses and achievements differ. This Starry Sky Douluo is most skilled at creating various high-altitude Soul Guidance Devices, hence his Starry Sky title.

His soul power level was only ninety-two, but a soul master's strength is not entirely correlated with their soul power level. In terms of strength, Ye Yulin was even stronger than Jing Hongchen, who was at level ninety-three, and was also known as the master of the starry sky.

It is said that during battle, the soul tools he releases can transform into a sky full of stars, unleashing powerful attacks, and he can even use celestial phenomena to launch attacks. His signature soul tool is called the Sun Needle, which is renowned for its powerful attack among level nine soul tools.

In the original work, Ye Yulin later developed an upgraded version of the Sun God Needle, the Sun and Moon God Needle, whose attack power ranked among the top five of all level nine soul tools, enough to threaten Xuanzi's life.

As for why Kong Tianxu was able to recognize this Starry Sky Douluo so quickly, it's because he was also a member of the Royal Palace and lived not far from the Moonflower Palace.

The fact that they could invite a royal retainer to teach first-year students shows that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy truly boasts a strong faculty. However, he also knew that the other party's presence here was definitely related to his grandfather.

Turning back, he exchanged a glance with Cain, and the two sat down to prepare for Ye Yulin's arrival.

The chattering sounds grew closer, and guided by the teacher in the physical testing room, the first-year students entered the classroom one after another. Strangely, although there were only forty students in a class, there were clearly more than that number of people entering.

Many girls' eyes lit up when they saw Kong Tianxu's face, and they wanted to strike up a conversation, but they all shrank back in fear of Cain's cold aura.

Xu Tianzhen didn't care about any of that. She casually sat down on the other side of Kong Tianxu. Her performance in the physical test had been outstanding, and she was brimming with confidence. Seeing that Kong Tianxu ignored her, she nudged his arm and whispered:

"Hey, I heard you're really talented? How about we compete for rankings in the next assessment?"

Kong Tianxu looked at the short-haired girl beside him. She was shorter than his chin, had excellent skin, and exuded a fresh, sunshine-like aura. Her big eyes were staring intently at Kong Tianxu, and her deliberately raised elbows made her look somewhat comical.

Based on the fluctuations of the other party's three-ring level soul power, Kong Tianxu had already guessed the other party's identity.

Xu Tianzhen, the only princess in the direct line of the royal family? He was not opposed to this marriage alliance. As the apparent controller of the empire, the royal family's power should not be underestimated.

More importantly, if his plan for the succession to the divine throne goes awry, then relying on the power of faith to create a divine position becomes an option that must be considered, making a royal representative with a voice extremely crucial.

"My name isn't Hey, it's Kong Tianxu. The man to my left is called Cain, and what's your name?"

Cain turned his head slightly to look at her, a confident smile curving his lips.

"My name is Xu Tianzhen!"

The girl answered instinctively, but immediately realized that Kong Tianxu hadn't responded to her question at all. Embarrassed and annoyed, she said, "Don't change the subject! Give me a straight answer: are you going to compete or not?"

However, Kong Tianxu ignored her and looked towards the classroom door.

The tall figure walked into the classroom, and the chattering immediately fell silent. Xu Tianzhen could only turn her head away and secretly make a fist gesture at Kong Tianxu from below.

Ye Yulin strode onto the stage, his hands behind his back, his aged face stern. His cold gaze swept across the students, an invisible pressure emanating from him.

Among them, Kong Tianxu, who was in a calm demeanor, was the object of his gaze the longest, and his gaze only softened slightly when it fell on Kong Tianxu.

"I am your teacher for your first class. As for my name, you might find out if you do well in the upcoming entrance exam. Otherwise, for most of you, this will be the last time you see me in your lives."

"The following is the assessment content. In the creation of soul tools, especially the creation of the core magic array, specialized skills are extremely important. Only by possessing these skills can a soul tool master reach the pinnacle in soul tool creation. What you need to do next is to try your best to learn and complete some skills within the specified time. Those who fail will lose their qualification for admission to Class One."

Ye Yulin didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Each of you has a tray on your table with six compartments. In each compartment is a square piece of metal, and each piece of metal is different. Your task is to randomly choose one of the six pieces of metal and complete the creation techniques for six core magic arrays. The first is fifty evenly spaced, multi-curved arcs; the second is a windmill pattern; the third is drilling thirty holes; the fourth..."
