Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

"Teacher, you"

"No rush. You should focus on your own cultivation first. There's no need to specifically explore other methods for condensing the runes of heaven and earth for my sake. Becoming strong yourself is the most important thing," Yun Ming interrupted Xu Yuan, speaking seriously.

He paused for a moment, then reminded Xu Yuan, "Tang Wulin has also just gained the approval of the Tree Elder, absorbing even more power from the Golden Ancient Tree than you did back then, and has condensed his fifth soul ring. His soul power is almost catching up with yours."

Although your soul power is still in a leading position, you have clearly fallen behind in terms of improvement in recent years!

Yun Ming was also anxious for his disciple.

In the past, Xu Yuan would have felt a little nervous.

But these days are different.

"Teacher, after reaching level ninety-nine in soul power, is there still room for improvement?" Xu Yuan asked in return.

"There will be another period of soul power accumulation, but it will soon reach its limit."

"Will our strength continue to grow?"

"nature."

"Therefore, soul power level is not the only way to judge the speed of cultivation; strength is." Xu Yuan said calmly, "Of course, I lagged behind Wu Lin in the speed of overall strength improvement in the past few years, but that won't happen soon."

The first task was the creation of the One-Word Battle Armor, which was within reach.

Then comes condensing the soul core, breaking through to the Soul Emperor realm, and then completing the upgrade of the two-word battle armor!

Xu Yuan estimates that this process will not take more than two years.

This is an improvement to Xu Yuan's basic qualities, and he can still combine his existing methods, meaning his strength will also increase proportionally.

Tang Wulin has reached a point where he can no longer make any progress.

The fusion of the eighth seal was barely completed by Tang Wulin with the full assistance of Old Tang's divine sense. He wouldn't have the opportunity to attempt the ninth seal for at least three years.

Without merging with the ninth layer of the seal, Tang Wulin's upper limit of strength will not change in these three years.

This is also one of the things Xu Yuan realized this time.

The Dragon God's legacy allowed him to merge with the Golden Dragon King's seal at a level he shouldn't have been able to achieve.

For a considerable period of time afterward, he was unable to continue fusing the seal.

Three years is a very conservative estimate. The most realistic situation is that Tang Wulin will not be able to recklessly fuse with the seal until his soul power level catches up.

Of course, this is just a period of stagnation in Tang Wulin's strength growth, and Xu Yuan's strength improvement still seems to be progressing steadily.

One has stagnated, while the other continues to steadily improve, but this is not the source of Xu Yuan's confidence.

His confidence stemmed entirely from the fact that, on the foundation of his already solid and steady progress, he had now achieved a doubling of improvement.

This doubling of improvement is naturally due to the Heaven and Earth Runes.

The sealing rune was Xu Yuan's first rune of heaven and earth, but it would certainly not be his last.

He also has multiple spirit rings, all of which can condense runes.

After condensing the runes, he can quickly improve his understanding.

The improvement of soul power and the creation of battle armor can both be seen as improvements in basic qualities, while the improvement of comprehension can be seen as an increase in the multiplier.

Progress from both angles is not an improvement of one plus one equals two, but rather two times two equals four, a fourfold improvement!

Yun Xiang understood the effect of Xu Yuan's Heaven and Earth Runes, nodded silently, and stopped worrying about Xu Yuan's cultivation.

"Teacher, my battle armor should be almost finished. When will the plan against the Demon Dimension begin?"

Xu Yuan changed the subject.

"We haven't confirmed it yet. If you'll also be a combatant, we can postpone the plan until you've finished making the battle armor."

"My battle armor is missing the last three parts. I have already crafted the materials for the belt and chest armor. Now all that is left is to forge the spirit alloy for the helmet."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming finally couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you already know how to forge materials? How come you still haven't been able to forge the basic materials for the battle armor?"

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

As the leader of this new generation and Yun Ming's disciple, when his soul power reached level 50, his battle armor was barely visible. Now, with his soul power at level 59, his one-word battle armor is still not finished.

Yun Ming even felt it was somewhat embarrassing to say it out loud!

This time, he couldn't hold back any longer and asked directly.

"Teacher, forging a perfect alloy is very difficult," Xu Yuan said helplessly.

"What alloy?" Yun Ming was taken aback.

He really didn't know Xu Yuan's battle armor standards.

"A perfect alloy is one with a 99% fusion rate," Xu Yuan said with a smile.

Yun Ming remained silent.

After a long while, he sighed softly and turned to walk outside.

"Complete the battle armor as soon as possible. I'll give you three months."

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Xu Yuan and the others were all summoned.

"Very good, it seems you all have had a good harvest this time." Cai Yue'er looked at the nine people and smiled with satisfaction.

Of the nine, Xu Yuan and Tang Wulin's changes are self-evident, while the other seven have all increased their soul power by one level on average.

The biggest beneficiaries were Wu Siduo, Yuan Enyehui, and Le Zhengyu, who broke through to level 50.

However, the three of them couldn't laugh.

Because they had just learned that Tang Wulin had also reached level 50.

There's one more page, but it'll take a long time to finish writing it. I need to rest for a bit first. Guys, go to sleep early, you can look at it tomorrow morning.

Chapter 315: It's reasonable for the Shrek Seven Devils to have eight members, right? (Please subscribe!!! Adding 8 more chapters)

Only the three of them know what they felt when they learned that Tang Wulin had reached level 50.

Wu Siduo was alright, since she was the same age as Tang Wulin.

However, Yuan Enhui and Le Zhengyu just lost their composure.

Because they were already older, it was alright that they had experienced the soul power surpassing them by Xu Yuan and Wu Siduo, but Tang Wulin, who originally had such a large difference in soul power with them, had already caught up, which made them unable to hold on any longer.

"Wu Lin, tell me honestly, are you cheating?" Le Zhengyu asked in a low voice.

Tang Wulin pretended to be confused, shook his head, and explained in a low voice, "I only recently had some good fortune, and my cultivation speed will probably remain normal for a long time to come."

"Cough cough!"

Cai Yue'er's cough interrupted their reverie.

"Do you know the Shrek Seven Devils?" Cai Yue'er asked, looking at the nine people.

Seeing the students react quickly and look at them with eager eyes, Cai Yue'er nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, the reason I've gathered you all here is to announce this to you."

"Since the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils achieved their legendary status 20,000 years ago, our Shrek Academy has followed the example of the first generation. Each generation selects the seven most outstanding individuals and bestows upon them the title of Shrek Seven Devils."

"Ten thousand years ago, our academy adopted a time limit, and only those who had been Shrek Seven Devils for a few years could obtain this title and honor."

"After that, through various evolutions, in the last few thousand years, the criteria for selecting the Shrek Seven Devils have become increasingly stringent. Adhering to the principle of 'better to have none than to have bad ones,' sometimes the Shrek Seven Devils are not established for hundreds of years."

"Once confirmed, the academy will train them to the highest standards. Only after they have successfully retired will the title of Shrek Seven Devils be revoked, and a new election for Shrek Seven Devils will begin."

"Your two sessions can be said to be the two strongest sessions in the last fifty years, so you were put on our watch list early on."

"The exchange activities with Star Luo Continent some time ago were a test of your abilities."

As Cai Yue'er explained, everyone except Xu Yuan and Gu Yue became extremely nervous.

Because they all realized that there were nine people present!

There are only seven spots for the Shrek Seven Devils.

"Gu Yue, I'm sorry, your performance was excellent, but you are probably not suitable to stay at Shrek Academy, nor do you have the heart to become one of the Shrek Seven Devils."

Gu Yue did not show any disappointment. Instead, she nodded calmly.

Cai Yue'er then swept her gaze across the faces of the other eight people.

"There are eight of you left."

The seven people were extremely nervous.

There are still eight people left. Who will be eliminated?

None of them wanted to be eliminated.

As for Xu Yuan, he was curious; he was very curious about how this year's Shrek Seven Devils would be selected.

Looking at the students who were under immense pressure and looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, Cai Yue'er smiled, a smile that seemed to carry the satisfaction of a mischievous prank.

“All eight of you are excellent, so after we held a meeting at the Sea God Pavilion, we came up with a solution.”

Tang Wulin and the others held their breath, waiting for Cai Yue'er to announce the results.

What plan?
