Chapter 19 Two Prince
Time flew, and half a month passed quickly.
The first ray of sunlight shone through the crystal glass window and shone on the fair and handsome face. Wisps of soul power flowed on the surface of his body, brushing his elegant black hair!
On the bed, a black-haired youth sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, quietly meditating.
"Phew …"
The golden Soul Power flowed along his meridians in an orderly manner, completing a large cycle. Finally, it flowed into his dantian and turned into pure Soul Power.
The ice-blue Ice Phoenix martial soul and the pure white Malus Anemone martial soul floated quietly in his dantian. With the infusion of soul power, the two martial souls seemed to have a life of their own. The phoenix spread its wings, and the begin to dance. The two martial souls complemented each other, presenting a sacred and auspicious scene in the youth's body.
"Boom!"
The youth's body suddenly emitted a bright golden radiance, instantly illuminating the entire bedroom!
[Level up successful. Congratulations on reaching level 22!]
David let out a long breath of turbid air. His clear eyes were filled with joy. After half a month of boring and bitter cultivation, he had finally broken through today.
Rising a level in half a month. This cultivation speed would definitely shock others if it were to spread.
Next, he opened the interface and checked his current attributes.
[Strongest Sword Hero System]
[Host: David Thorne]
[Level:(22)]
[Title: Soul Grandmaster]
[Soul Power: (0/220)]
[Proficiency: Basic Sword Drawing Technique (99/100)]
[God's Bestowed Blade: 0]
[Martial Souls: Ice Phoenix Soul Elementary (57/100), Malus Anemone Soul Elementary (5/100)]
[Talents: Ice Blade, Healing Blade]
His soul power level had increased quite quickly, but his Sword Drawing Technique proficiency still hadn't broken through. The speed of his Martial Soul Duplication was also very slow.
At this rate, it would take at least a year for his Martial Soul to accumulate enough proficiency to level up.
In addition, his Sword Drawing Technique seemed to be stuck at a bottleneck. Although the success rate of his Sword Drawing Technique was very high these days, he was still unable to break through to a higher level!
All he needed was an opportunity!
David's eyes were resolute as he gently stroked the White Saber, Shadowless. He felt that his Sword-Drawing Technique could be even stronger. All he needed was an opportunity to raise it to a higher realm.
If he wanted to continue improving his Sword-Drawing Technique, it would be useless to just train hard here.
A battle of life and death might give him a chance to break through.
This time, he didn't have to take the risk to enter the Soulbeast Forest!
This was because the Jade Summit Academy's annual Genius Battle was about to begin!
"Battle of the geniuses!"
David muttered to himself, his face flushed with excitement.
This peak battle that gathered the strongest students of the academy would surely be incomparably exciting. He could not help but tighten his grip on the hilt of his saber, his heart filled with anticipation.
…
The Battle of the Geniuses was an annual event for the Jade Summit Academy! The goal was to test the results of the students' cultivation in the past year. At the same time, they would use the competition and battles between the students to improve their strength!
In terms of scale, this competition was second only to the Continental Elite Academy Tournament that was held every five years.
When the time came, the Jade Summit Academy's elite teachers, three Soul Douluo, and members of the empire's imperial family would all come to the academy to watch the competition. It would be the focus of everyone's attention!
A competition like this that attracted so much attention would naturally be rich in prizes. The prizes for the Genius Battle every year were extremely rare, and countless people coveted them!
Although there were no hundred-thousand-year soul rings or rare treasures like soul bones, there were all sorts of treasures that could increase one's soul power. Soul tools, money, nobility, fame, and so on.
As long as you were strong enough, you could obtain everything you wanted here.
On this morning, the weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly!
In the main campus, there was a clean and quiet cultivation field.
A beautiful teacher in her twenties was leading a dozen or so students in cultivation.
This female teacher had a head of fiery red hair, a dainty face, cherry-red lips, and a colorful dress that outlined her astonishing curves. Her every frown and smile caused many boys to salivate.
This was a mature beauty who had fully matured. She had full breasts, perky buttocks, and a slender waist that could be grasped with one hand. She constantly exuded boundless seduction, and was not something that thirteen or fourteen year old girls could compare to.
With such a goddess as a teacher, many male students would wake up laughing in their dreams. For most of the class, their gazes were fixed on the teacher.
"Avalanche! You had better be serious! "
The female teacher's almond-shaped eyes were wide open as she waved a scarlet whip in her jade-like hands. She viciously whipped the student who had been staring at her breasts in a daze and sent him flying!
Many students saw this scene and secretly laughed in schadenfreude.
This female teacher's name was Gilly, and she was in charge of teaching a class of Soul Micro grade students. Among the twenty-five Soul Micro grade teachers, she was the strongest and her teaching results were the most outstanding. She was truly the number one teacher of the Soul Micro grade.
Although she was a woman, she was a rank 49 Soul Ancestor. If there were no accidents, she would be able to obtain her fifth soul ring in at most a year and break through to the Soul King realm!
Teacher Gilly's temper was as fiery as her figure. As long as the empire's fourth prince, Avalanche, dared to beat her up in class, he would beat her up.
In the Jade Summit Academy, regardless of title, bloodline, or identity, as long as one entered the academy, they would have to follow the academy's rules and obey the teachers' instructions. Otherwise, these hedonistic sons of the various countries would all become little emperors!
Here, there were no princes or nobles, only strength and rank!
"I'm sorry, teacher."
Avalanche held his left cheek that had been slapped red as he awkwardly walked into the group. The rest of the students were still secretly laughing.
Just as this group of students was listening to Teacher Gilly's guidance with great interest, each of them had an intoxicated expression.
There was also a student who was holding a blade and coldly sitting under a tree at the side. He was like a handsome man who stood aloof from the world, completely out of place with this group of students who were desperately training.
"Oh, what a rare thing. His Highness, who is always late and leaves early, is in the mood to come to class today."
Suddenly, Teacher Gilly turned around and placed her hands on her waist as she looked at the black-haired youth under the ancient tree with a teasing tone.
"If I remember correctly, today should be the day of the exam." David glanced at Teacher Gilly indifferently.
"Ah? You're still preparing to take the exam! "
Gilly covered her mouth in shock and said, "I already submitted your results yesterday. You can pack up and go home now."
"What did you say?!!"
David's eyelids twitched wildly.
The Jade Summit Academy had a strength assessment. Those who cultivated in the academy for a year and did not reach rank 21 would be expelled.
Rank 21 was the strict standard set by the academy to weed out those who did not cultivate properly and were just here to make up the numbers!
David could no longer remain calm. His expression was ugly as he glared at Teacher Gilly. "What did you say? You've already submitted my unqualified evaluation?!"
"Haha! Just kidding ~ "
Teacher Gilly laughed hysterically as she waved her hand at David.
To be honest, she quite liked to tease this little rascal who liked to pretend to be profound all the time. He was just a kid who had yet to grow all his hair, yet he always acted like an expert who had seen through the world of mortals.
Gilly felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment every time she made this calm and demonic youth fly into a rage.
"Tsk, despicable fellow!"
David's mouth twitched. He was very dissatisfied with Teacher Gilly's behavior.
He did not know if Luna Snow wanted to mess with him, but he purposely arranged for him to be in Teacher Gilly's class. He even became classmates with Avalanche!
Two princes in one class.
One was a good-for-nothing, and the other was a good-for-nothing. What a strange story!
However, he did not usually come to class. He always hid at home to practice his saber. Occasionally, he would come to get familiar with others. He used to be a good student in is old world, but now he was a scum in the eyes of the teacher!
"I thought you had forgotten about today's assessment …"
Teacher Gilly stroked her flame-like hair and stared at David. Her gentle eyes gradually sharpened. "Since you dared to participate in the assessment, it means that you have confidence!"
"Yes!"
David nodded seriously. His soul power had reached rank 22. Not only did he meet the academy's requirements, but he had also exceeded it by one rank.
"If that's the case, just activate your soul rings," Teacher Gilly said quietly.
Soul rings were a way to quickly reflect a Soul Master's current strength. If David had really met the requirements, then he should have two soul rings by now.
David was stunned. "No …"
This time, it was Teacher Gilly's turn to lose her composure. She snapped, "What did you say? What do you mean by no?! "
"I don't have any Soul Rings for now, but my Soul Power has indeed reached the standard!"
"Innate full soul power rank 21?"
"Houtian full soul power rank 22!"
Gilly and David stared at each other, their expressions amusing.
"Acquired full soul power? Level 22?! " Teacher Gilly gritted her teeth and raised her eyebrows. She couldn't help but clench her fists and yell at David, "Who are you trying to fool?!"
A sound wave that contained anger surged out, messing up that delicate and pretty black hair. Moreover, it forcefully forced David back three steps.
If you don't believe me, then so be it …
Why are you shouting so loudly?!!
This roar was extraordinary, as it contained the soulforce of a Soul Ancestor. David felt as if a terrifying lion was roaring, and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
"Teacher, if you don't believe me, you can find a soul power testing device and test it in person!" David said.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I feel that what you lack now is not a test, but a repair!"
Teacher Gilly had long been dissatisfied with this maverick student. She had suppressed her anger for a long time, and it finally exploded at this moment.
"You there, come out!" She pointed at the crowd, and the dozen or so students looked at each other, not knowing who "you there" was.
If they remembered correctly, there shouldn't be anyone with this name among them.
Once her temper flared up, she really couldn't control it. Teacher Gilly stared at [Avalanche] in the crowd and said angrily, "[Avalanche], I'm talking about you. Come out!"
"Oh … yes, teacher!"
[Avalanche] was stunned, and hurriedly walked to Teacher Gilly's side, looking as if he would go through a mountain of swords and a sea of flames for her!
"Idiot, you're not coming to my side!" Teacher Gilly glared at [Avalanche] and pointed at David. "You, go and defeat him!"
Avalanche's strength wasn't outstanding in this group of Soul Micro Academy students. He was only rank 23, but against that problematic student, David, there shouldn't be any problem.
More importantly, these two were brothers. One was a spoiled brat, the other was trash!
It's been a long time since we last met, let's have a duel between brothers ~
Teacher Gilly's lips curled into a mischievous smile as she thought to herself.
"What do you mean?!" David furrowed his brows and looked at Teacher Gilly in confusion.
"It's very simple. David, as long as you defeat [Avalanche], I'll admit that you've reached the standard and you can continue to stay in the academy. If you can't do it, then quietly pack up and leave. Jade Summit Academy doesn't nurture trash!" Teacher Gilly said indifferently.
Who knew, before David could say anything, [Avalanche] said with a look of disdain, "Teacher, I refuse! Why would a noble existence like me fight with such a lowly thing?! "
David was only a lowly illegitimate child. He didn't even have the right to inherit the royal family name. Avalanche, on the other hand, was the Fourth Prince of the Jade Summit Empire. He was incomparably noble.
Although the two were brothers in name, [Avalanche] had never acknowledged David, this trash of a younger brother. The two of them had never spoken a word in the academy.
"Shut up. I want you to defeat David. I didn't ask if you were willing or not!" Teacher Gilly snorted coldly. Rank 49 soul power rippled outwards, scaring [Avalanche] so much that he shivered.
"Yes, teacher!"
[Avalanche] hurriedly nodded obediently and followed Teacher Gilly's orders.
He took a step forward. Rank 23 soul power swept out like a gust of wind, causing his luxurious yellow robe to tremble slightly!
At the same time, yellow and yellow soul rings floated out. The Swan Martial Soul, exclusive to the Jade Summit Royal Family, was faintly discernible on his body, proving his identity as a legitimate member of the royal family.
[Avalanche's] face was full of arrogance. He glanced at David with disdain and sneered, "Little bastard, admit defeat yourself. Otherwise, I don't mind removing one or two of your arms!"
David stared calmly at the arrogant [Avalanche] and remained silent.
"You don't know the meaning of death! I'll let you, a little bastard with an impure bloodline, experience the strength of our Jade Summit Royal Family's Swan Martial Soul! "
[Avalanche] laughed maniacally. A pure white swan sparkled on his body. He suddenly burst out and viciously punched towards David.
"Hua!"
David's eyes suddenly widened and he suddenly pulled out the Shadowless Blade from its scabbard.
Blade Drawing Technique!
A lightning-like blade light slashed across. [Avalanche] spat out blood and screamed as he was sent flying!
