Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

As the number one academy in the world, the Martial Soul Academy naturally doesn't just let anyone enroll. Those who can enroll are basically dragons among men, the best of their peers.

And this Martial Soul Token, while said to grant unconditional enrollment, actually has restrictions. First, you must be a Soul Master, and second, you must be no older than 30. Otherwise, even if you hold a Martial Soul Token, the Martial Soul Academy will not accept you.

After all, they can't just accept an ordinary person or a decrepit old man in their seventies or eighties who comes to the Martial Soul Academy with a Martial Soul Token, right?

If that were the case, what would the academy become?

So, although it wasn't explicitly stated, everyone basically defaulted to these two rules.

That's why Grandmaster Tuo Tuo felt regret; he was already 49 years old. Even if he went to the Martial Soul Academy with the Martial Soul Token now, he wouldn't be able to enroll at all.

That's how Huo Yuqing escaped a calamity.

"You must keep this token well-hidden and not show it to others easily." Grandmaster Tuo Tuo returned the token to her, while also cautioning, "To those with good talent or background, this token may be dispensable, but for ordinary Soul Masters, they would give anything for it! So, if it's exposed, be careful of being killed because of your situation."

"Is this token really that valuable?!" Huo Yuqing was clearly very surprised, even though she already knew that this token might have another use. She didn't expect that just an enrollment qualification could tempt so many people.

"What did you think? That's the number one academy on the continent! Which ordinary Soul Master didn't dream of entering it when they were young? Unfortunately, those who can enter are either exceptionally talented or have extraordinary backgrounds. Those who graduate from it are all famous figures." Grandmaster Tuo Tuo glared at the little girl, saying in an annoyed tone, "If I weren't too old and didn't meet the enrollment requirements, you would probably be in grave danger now."

Faced with Grandmaster Tuo Tuo's straightforward and undisguised words, Huo Yuqing also felt a lingering fear. She never expected that a token of unknown use would almost bring about her death.

"The Martial Soul Academy only recruits students once a year, and there are still about two months before the enrollment period. When the time comes, you can show this token to the enrolling teacher and be admitted without taking the exam." Grandmaster Tuo Tuo said, "If you can learn something useful inside, or make some connections, it will be enough for you to benefit from for the rest of your life."

"Thank you, Grandmaster, for telling me this."

Huo Yuqing bowed deeply in gratitude, then carefully put away the token and left the Martial Soul Sub-Hall.

She now had a new goal: to enroll in the Martial Soul Academy in two months!

Although Huo Yuqing had obtained the Nine Yin Manual and a method for condensing Soul Rings, being a Soul Master was never that simple. There was still much to learn, so choosing to enroll in an academy was very necessary.

You can't become a strong person by secluding yourself and working behind closed doors.

After claiming this month's Gold Soul Coins before leaving the Martial Soul Hall,

Huo Yuqing began to prepare for enrolling in the Martial Soul Academy.

The Martial Soul Academy was located near the capital of the Douluo Empire, quite far from where she was now. If she didn't hire a carriage and relied solely on walking, two months would be quite tight.

Huo Yuqing decided to buy some daily necessities and set off immediately to the Martial Soul Academy.

As for hiring a carriage, she couldn't afford it with her current wealth. She was still too poor.

...

Two months later.

Huo Yuqing finally arrived at the city where the Martial Soul Academy was located, covered in dust.

During this time, she cultivated while traveling, and also intentionally collected some information about the Martial Soul Academy. After all, she had only heard of the academy's great name before, but didn't know the specific details.

Fortunately, the matters concerning the Martial Soul Academy weren't secrets, so as she collected information, she finally wasn't completely ignorant of the academy she was about to enter.

The Martial Soul Academy was founded ten thousand years ago. In terms of time, it could be traced back to after the establishment of the unified Douluo Empire.

At that time, the first dean of the academy was the first Pope of the new Martial Soul Hall. As the representative of the gods, being the dean of this academy, the value was self-evident.

Therefore, from the moment the Martial Soul Academy was established, it was destined to be above all other academies, with that supreme status!

And the Martial Soul Academy is actually divided into two parts: the Outer Academy and the Inner Academy. Newly enrolled students are uniformly assigned to the Outer Academy, and only by demonstrating talent and excellence in all aspects is it possible to enter the Inner Academy. Those who can graduate from the Inner Academy are all top experts!

In addition, the academy doesn't limit the number of students it recruits each year. However, the number of people who can pass the entrance exam is very few.

After all, the Martial Soul Academy's entrance exam first requires that the age not exceed 12 years old, and the Soul Power must reach at least the Soul Grandmaster level. Just these two points alone are enough to eliminate 99% of the people.

But satisfying the above two points isn't enough. The entrance exam also has certain requirements for the student's Martial Soul and Soul Rings... The conditions are very harsh.

So, although there is no limit to the number of students recruited, and many people sign up, the actual number of students isn't that exaggerated. After all, there are too few people who can meet the requirements.

...

Although the Martial Soul Academy is called an academy in name, it's actually more appropriate to call it a city.

This academy is built on the Lima Plain, covering an extremely vast area. It is itself a city, known as Martial Soul City.

In the Douluo Continent, Martial Soul City is one of the top cities, with a population of over six million people.

And the Martial Soul Academy has independent governance over this city and doesn't need to pay taxes to the empire. On the contrary, the empire has to spend money to subsidize this city every year. This shows its special status.

Martial Soul City has roads leading in all directions, to the east, south, west, and north, and the transportation can be said to be well-connected. It's not only the location of the Martial Soul Academy, but also the most important commercial city in the empire.

Due to the special nature of this place, the security of Martial Soul City is extremely good. Transactions here are not only fair, but also more reassuring. Therefore, merchants from various kingdoms mostly choose to conduct transactions here when engaging in cross-border trade.

The south, west, and north gates of Martial Soul City can be freely entered and exited, but the east gate is exclusively for the Martial Soul Academy.

Covered in dust, Huo Yuqing was now following the guidance of the map in her hand and arrived outside the east gate.

Don't think that this gate is only for the Martial Soul Academy, but it was extremely lively at this time. At least tens of thousands of people were gathered outside the east gate, and the scene was bustling. A large number of merchants had already caught wind of the situation, and it was estimated that the outside of the city was now more lively than the inside.

The reason why it was so lively was mainly because it was the enrollment season, and many people came from all over the continent. Those who could come here were basically either rich or noble. Naturally, it was better to do business.
