Douluo Dalu: I'm Summoning Game Characters

Lu Jingming looked at the three soul bones in his hand; all were of ten-thousand-year quality, with excellent texture and attributes. The Heaven Soul Empire's reward this time was indeed generous.

However, Lu Jingming didn't pay them much mind. He naturally wouldn't refine these soul bones himself, nor was he willing to let Zhang Lexuan and Keqing absorb them.

After all, once a soul bone was refined, it couldn't be replaced. Using these few ten-thousand-year soul bones on the two of them would be a waste of their potential.

However, he was now the helmsman of a powerful faction. Although he couldn't use these soul bones himself, they could serve as valuable rewards for the subordinates who had rendered great service to him.

Whether it was the Golden Guards or the Wuchang Division, both would require scarce resources like soul bones to enhance their overall strength in their future development.

At this time, Lu Jingming's group had already parted ways with Xu Jiujiu. They had passed Star Luo City. Previously, Xu Jiujiu had warmly invited Lu Jingming and his companions to visit Star Luo City, but Lu Jingming had politely declined.

It was precisely because they had separated from Xu Jiujiu and her group that those with ill intentions dared to make a move on St. Freya Academy.

After all, it was well known that Star Luo Royal Academy would definitely have a Titled Douluo leading their team, which deterred many.

Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu.

"Teacher, that's how it is. Although we didn't defeat Shrek Academy and win the championship this time, Shrek Academy also couldn't continue their glory and lost to the newly emerged St. Freya Academy."

Thousand Machine Douluo Bai Xu respectfully addressed the white-robed, white-haired old man with a restrained aura before him.

Although the old man's spirit power rank was only one level higher than his, if they truly fought, he probably wouldn't last more than a few moves before being defeated.

The old man was not only his teacher on the path of soul engineering, but he also possessed twin martial spirits, and his attainments in soul tools were infinitely close to that of a Level 10 Soul Engineer.

This person was indeed Bai Xu's teacher, the former hall master of Mingde Hall, the current hall master of the Imperial Worship Hall, and one of the three great Soul Engineers of the Sun Moon Empire, Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming.

Although Kong Deming was as famous as Mirror Toad Douluo Jing Hongchen and Star Sky Douluo Ye Yulin, collectively known as the three great Soul Engineers of the Sun Moon Empire, those in the know understood that Silver Moon Douluo was the strongest Soul Engineer in the Sun Moon Empire.

This was because both the current Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen and Star Sky Douluo Ye Yulin were personally taught by Kong Deming.

Soul Engineers in the Sun Moon Empire, due to consuming large quantities of various spirit power-enhancing elixirs in their early stages, progressed rapidly. However, they would later encounter bottlenecks, preventing them from breaking through for their entire lives.

Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin were prime examples; they had been stuck at Level 94 for many years, with no possibility of further advancement. A Level 9 Soul Engineer was their limit.

But Kong Deming was different. Although he had also been stuck at Level 94 for many years, he possessed twin martial spirits, coupled with his talent in soul engineering. He had a chance to break through to the Level 95 Hyper Douluo realm.

And once Kong Deming broke through to the Hyper Douluo realm, becoming a Level 10 Soul Engineer was inevitable. By then, even an ordinary Limit Douluo wouldn't be his match.

"If it's just about this, you shouldn't have come to see me."

Kong Deming's tone was calm. After so many years, he had witnessed countless All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournaments. Although he was somewhat surprised that Shrek Academy lost, his heart felt no great stir.

At his level, the outcome of the All-Continent Advanced Academy Elite Tournament held little significance to him.

Dragon God Douluo Mu En shared similar thoughts. For those who had experienced too many upheavals, a temporary victory or defeat among the younger generation did not signify everything.

"Teacher, I saw a Silver Moon martial spirit, but she is not from our Sun Moon Empire."

Bai Xu was not surprised by Kong Deming's attitude. Unlike them, Kong Deming saw further, and his thoughts were beyond their comprehension.

"Who?"

Hearing about the Silver Moon martial spirit, Kong Deming's tone finally shifted.

"St. Freya Academy, Zhang Lexuan, from Sea Abyss City in the Star Luo Empire."

Bai Xu had already gathered the intelligence, and information on Zhang Lexuan was not difficult to obtain.

"Is that so? I understand. You may leave!"

Kong Deming's eyes were deep; no one knew what he was thinking.

Bai Xu was slightly stunned, a little confused, but still obeyed Kong Deming's command, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave.

"Sea Abyss City...!"

Kong Deming looked north, in the direction of the Star Luo Empire.

"This is Sea Abyss City? Has human development truly been this fast?" The black-haired girl, Gu Yue, looked up at Sea Abyss City's futuristic architectural style, her brows slightly furrowed.

Ten thousand years ago, awakened by the War of the Three Gods, she had observed the human world then. The human civilization at that time was far from this prosperous and advanced.

Stepping into Sea Abyss City, Gu Yue deftly avoided an oncoming soul-powered tram. Everything along the way filled her with curiosity, and her eyes sparkled with the light of exploration.

Soon, Gu Yue followed Sea Abyss City's signposts and arrived at St. Freya Academy.

At this moment, a long line had already formed at the entrance of St. Freya Academy, consisting of people coming to register for the entrance examination.

Since St. Freya Academy won the championship of the 2023 All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, its reputation in the spirit master world had soared.

No matter what outsiders debated, even if some said it was pure luck, St. Freya Academy had ultimately defeated Shrek Academy and claimed the championship.

Those who felt they lacked the confidence to pass Shrek Academy's entrance examination flocked to Sea Abyss City to try their luck, hoping to make a gamble.

This created such a bustling scene at the entrance of St. Freya Academy.

This was already the second new student enrollment since St. Freya Academy won the championship.

Compared to the first lively enrollment, even more people came to register this time.

After all, after two years of development, St. Freya Academy had already become a top-tier academy in the Star Luo Empire, second only to the Star Luo Royal Academy.

Under Lu Jingming's unreserved investment, whether in terms of teaching staff or various resources, St. Freya Academy had closely kept pace with first-rate academies.

Due to the large number of people, St. Freya Academy had set up five registration channels, so Gu Yue didn't wait long before it was her turn to register.

Taking a form from a kindly female teacher in uniform, Gu Yue glanced at it seriously, then began to fill in her information.

Name: Gu Yue

Gender: Female

Age: 11 years old

Martial Spirit: Elementalist

Spirit Power Level: Level 38 Spirit Grandmaster

Spirit Ring Configuration: Yellow, Purple, Purple

The female teacher took the information handed to her by Gu Yue, and her face instantly revealed a surprised expression.

Immediately after, she glanced at the detection soul tool beside her, which clearly displayed Gu Yue's bone age and spirit power level, completely consistent with the information filled out on the form.

The female teacher's eyes were filled with delight; such talent she had only seen in a few S-rank students at the academy.
