Douluo Diary: The Martial Soul White Tiger Ability Lock

Diary System—Chapter 158: Shocked: A Seven-Year-Old Soul Grandmaster! Admitted as an Exception!

Don't think that the Star Luo royal family only has a few princes!

Having inherited the Empire for so many years, the imperial family also has branches. After all, the harem has three thousand beauties. Apart from the Dai family princes and Zhu family women who possess martial soul fusion skills and are qualified to compete for the throne, the remaining princes become princes, and the princesses will either marry royal relatives and nobles or marry a consort.

Of course, Dai Yichen is an exception. Although he does not have the conditions for martial soul fusion skills, he was born with full soul power! 

And in terms of combat power, he is not inferior to the Hell White Tiger of the same level! 

As a soul grandmaster, he used all his amplification techniques, and his aura reached the peak of the Soul Ancestor. His attack was even more powerful than that of a Soul King.

Can a Soul Grandmaster Hell Tiger have this combat power? At most, it's the peak of the Soul Ancestor. In a prolonged battle, Dai Yichen would be even better!

He was born for battle—never stopping until death. The more he fought, the stronger he became!

Also, the princes who fail in the competition are not necessarily dead. A small portion of them are simply abolished and sent to territories.

If there is no unrest in those territories, the prince can still marry a woman from the Zhu family and have offspring.

So, the Star Luo royal family does not mean that only the emperor's bloodline survives in each generation. The rest of the bloodlines of the same origin do not all die out!

Isn't it strange that a royal family only has the emperor's family and no princes? 

These members are also part of the White Tiger Legion, which is directly under the emperor's command and is the most powerful soul master force in the Star Luo Empire! 

Dai Yichen's mouth curled slightly, and he said lightly: "Of course, we can make an exception. Although our academy is aristocratic, if the talent of the candidate is outstanding, I can decide to enroll him/her immediately and even provide him/her with a soul master subsidy!"

This wasn't a sudden idea from seeing Xiao Wu now. He had thought of this long before.

Why can the Spirit Hall accept so many talented civilian soul masters? One reason is that the Spirit Hall helps awaken martial souls for free, and the other is the soul master subsidy! Part of this subsidy is paid by their empire, but they haven't yet enjoyed the full benefits of this policy. 

(T/N: This is the problem of Chinese authors. They didn't explain the second side of fact. Without the strong strength of Spirit Hall will the Empire provide funds for commoners or awaken their martial soul for free? Its answer is fully shown in Douluo Dalu II)

Civilian soul masters make up the largest portion of the entire continent. Although many have low innate soul powers—and some have none—they still hold value due to the large numbers.

The golden generation of the Spirit Hall Academy, for example, all have innate ninth-level soul power, which is proof of high talent.

Although it is very unlikely that a 'mutated' commoner with full innate soul power like Bibi Dong will appear among commoner soul masters, it is still relatively easy for some soul masters with high-level talent to appear.

Once Dai Yichen's strength has improved to a certain level, the first thing he plans to reform is the Star Luo Royal Academy.

He intends to use resources to elevate talented civilian soul masters, even to establish a civilian soul master academy controlled by the royal family within Star Luo City—so they can compete and improve together.

From the competition rules of the Soul Master Competition, it can be seen that most of the people in the Royal Academy are trash.

Team One has the right to advance directly, while Team Two competes as usual. This rule was designed to save face for the empire—fearing that the royal team wouldn't even make it to the quarterfinals, which would be embarrassing.

Mostly, this rule applies to the Heaven Dou Empire. 

After all, the Star Luo Empire had already won a Soul Master Competition, while Heaven Dou had never taken the championship!

His future goal was to compete with Spirit Hall for talent!

The Spirit Hall can help commoners awaken their martial souls for free, and his Star Luo Empire can also do it, and even have more manpower!

His Star Luo Empire has a million-strong army. All of these million-strong armies can't be commoners who cannot use soul power.

If they were commoners, how could they wear such heavy armor and weapons? How to use defensive battle formations?

It's just that although they have soul power, their soul power is very low, usually Soul Grandmaster and below.

If they are singled out, they can't even be considered cannon fodder. At least they have to be Soul Elder to be considered cannon fodder.

According to statistics, 70% of the soul masters on the continent are under the control of Spirit Hall. 

Dai Yichen believed that about 70% of soul masters above the Soul Elder level were in Spirit Hall's hands, rather than all soul masters possessing soul power.

Otherwise, it would be too outrageous. 

(This is a clarification: it's impossible that all millions of soldiers have no soul power. Otherwise, battle formations wouldn't work at all.)

The old woman's face lit up when she heard this. She quickly pulled Xiao Wu aside and said respectfully: 

"Xiao Wu, tell His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince about yourself."

Xiao Wu observed quietly. Dai Yichen looked more handsome than in the video—exuding a heroic aura. She smiled and said: 

"My name is Xiao Wu, Martial Soul Soft Bone Rabbit. I have innate full soul power, and I am now a twenty-second-level soul grandmaster."

Dai Yichen: ?? 

Dugu Bo: ?? 

Damn! Another innate full soul power and this little girl in front of him doesn't look very old!

"How old are you now?" Dugu Bo asked first.

"Just turned seven," Xiao Wu immediately showed a timid expression, fearing Dugu Bo might do something to her.

She knew Dai Yichen was disguising her aura with system prompts, but she didn't fully understand; she had to pretend.

So she restrained her aura as much as possible and didn't show her martial soul.

Dugu Bo: Am I so scary?

What surprised Dai Yichen was Xiao Wu's cultivation level at this age. 

Based on her performance in the original work, she had fifteen-level soul power at age seven—considered very good. 

Now, she was twenty-two levels?

Seeing Dai Yichen's doubts, the old woman explained: 

"Xiao Wu's situation is quite special. Besides attending important classes at the academy, she spends most of her time practicing, which is why her cultivation level is so high."

She then showed a proud smile, clearly proud of Xiao Wu.

Dai Yichen remained silent. He approached Xiao Wu calmly and said: 

"I will check your soul power level. If everything is fine, I will decide to let you enter Star Luo Royal Academy!"

He stretched out his right hand, gently grasped Xiao Wu's forearm, and sent a strand of soul power into her.

After a moment, her level was confirmed to be around twenty-two!
