In the east of "Mu Zhi City", [Greenleaf Junior Soul Master Academy] has started school.
There are six classes in six grades, and each class has about thirty to forty students. The total number of self-funded students and working-study students in the school is almost more than two hundred.
The number of such students, to be honest, is quite small.
With this, the number of students in [Greenleaf Junior Soul Master Academy] is already ranked second among the four junior soul master academies in 'Mu Zhi City'.
[Mizuki Principality] In the area of the capital city "Mizhi City", the number of children with innate soul power born in the past six years, if not counting the descendants of noble/soul master families, totals less than a thousand.
According to past experience, there may not even be half of the nearly a thousand children who can eventually cultivate their soul power to the tenth level, and then obtain the first soul ring and become soul masters.
Among them, the number of those who can go a step further and reach level 20 to become a second-level great soul master is reduced by more than two-thirds!
If you include those who died at the mouth of soul beasts while hunting souls, those who were attacked and killed by other soul masters, and those who had conflicts and vendettas...the soul master reserves born in these six years will be able to successfully cultivate to the soul level in a few decades.
Dear Lord, I can count the number of people who have become a new noble on one hand!
[Shuimu Principality] was founded less than a hundred years ago. Most of today's nobles are the families who followed Grand Duke Muxiao back then. Only a small number of them have come from the land of [Shuimu Principality] in the past few decades.
Newly born.
The martial soul system of Douluo Continent really relies on bloodline qualifications. If you want to rely on mutation factors to develop high-quality martial soul qualifications, it is no less likely than Ling Yi's chance of winning the lottery when you bought the lottery in his previous life.
Well, compared to a large enough base, the probability of a small prize of a few yuan, dozens of yuan, or even hundreds of yuan will be relatively higher. But when it is locked to an individual, the chance will be pitifully small...<
/p>
For this reason, in the junior soul master academy, unless you have awakened a martial soul of good quality and high innate soul power from the beginning, you will basically not be attracted by those nobles who place bets in advance.
More often than not, some self-funded students, relying on their good family conditions and more or less soul master backgrounds, bully and humiliate some work-study students with ordinary or even low qualifications.
In their cognition, the emergence of working-study students takes up part of the resources of self-financed students. Whether it is the educational resources from teachers or the help provided by the college during the unified soul hunting in the later period, it will be diluted by the working-study students.
Contradictions piled up year after year until later, the confrontation between self-financed students and working-study students became a tradition.
Of course, it is unknown whether some nobles contributed to this.
After all, as far as Ling Yi knows, the vast majority of nobles have their own set of teaching methods suitable for inheriting martial arts. When their children reach a certain age and strength, they will be sent directly to high-level soul master academies.
There are certain resources that cannot be provided, such as the "mimic training environment" and high-end soul ring hunting; the other is to meet some companions of similar or even higher levels to expand the family's network.
It would be even better if we could find a person of the opposite sex with good talents and qualifications, marry them, and give birth to a better inheritor of the martial arts bloodline~
Let’s go a long way and go back to [Greenleaf Junior Soul Master Academy].
Through channels such as college teachers, work-study students, and some self-financed students with good intentions, Ling Yi initially discovered some subtle relationships in the college, and also formulated a series of response plans for the next college career.<

……
In the past few days before and after the start of school, a piece of gossip spread inadvertently among the [Greenleaf Junior Soul Master Academy].
"Have you heard?"
During class, a little boy with cute ears turned around and asked the little girl with rabbit teeth at the back table.
The little girl was a little confused and looked at the boy curiously: "What did you hear?"
"Hehe~" The little boy first looked around, then lowered his voice and said with a beaming face: "Among this year's freshmen, there is a guy who entered the sect of Master Jin, one of the 'Three Great Craftsmen'.
I don’t know whether to call him lucky or self-destructive..."
"Master Jin? That Master Jin who is a blacksmith?" Next to him, a boy with slanted bangs interjected and asked.
The boy with wind ears heard the sound, glanced at the other person, and nodded: "Yes, that's Master Jin~"
"Tsk~" The boy with slanted bangs smacked his lips noncommittally, shook his head and said: "I heard that Master Jin is already over seventy years old, and it's hard to say how much soul-level strength he has left. That guy can't really
Are you going to learn blacksmithing?"
"What's wrong with blacksmithing?"
Suddenly, a tall boy who didn't know when he came to the side of the three people said: "If you really become a blacksmith at the level of a blacksmith, you can also become a big shot in the principality..."
As the words fell, the boy with windy ears, the boy with slanted bangs, and the girl with rabbit teeth who listened quietly realized that there were seven or eight classmates around them, all of whom were local merchants in "Muzhi City".
Children of small families are also self-funded students in the college.
The person who just spoke was the son of the owner of a blacksmith shop in the east of the city. His father was also an apprentice under Master Jin. Now he is only one step away from being a senior blacksmith. If it were not for his old age and limited potential, he would even become a senior blacksmith.
, and he doesn’t have much hope of becoming a blacksmith master. He wants to look forward to the identity of Master Jin’s thirteenth direct disciple.
"Tch—" the boy with slanted bangs glanced sideways at the tall boy: "Is it so easy to become a blacksmith?"
"Anyway, until now, I have not heard that any of the twelve direct disciples of Master Jin have been promoted to the level of blacksmith——"
"Ha!" Hearing this, the tall boy sneered, "James, I heard that the sword your father used was made by Master Jin's fifth disciple, the senior blacksmith Master Wang..."
James's father is a twenty-seventh-level great spirit master with a martial spirit of "Iron-backed Baboon". He is the strongest among the parents of students in his class.
And while holding the sword made by a high-level blacksmith, James' father can directly fight against a twenty-nine-level assault weapon soul master and an unstoppable beast soul master of the same level who can even suppress an empty-handed beast soul master!
After hearing the tall boy's words, James opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything to refute. Although he felt from the bottom of his heart that the soul master was more noble, he would not offend a senior blacksmith by talking randomly.
If someone spread the word, James' father would probably beat him up and take him to Master Wang to apologize.
Please note that forged weapons are different from weapon souls and will wear out.
What should I do if it gets worn out?
Naturally, you need to find a blacksmith to repair it, and even if there are conditions, when the blacksmith's skills improve or better materials are available, you can recast a stronger weapon!
You said that if you offend Master Wang, the worst thing you can do is find a senior blacksmith. If you have money, you can’t find a blacksmith to help?
Hehe, if James had just spoken nonsense, he would not have just despised a certain blacksmith, but the entire blacksmith profession.
Although he did know this in his heart, many students present may not think so in their hearts.
Even the tall boy and his father believe that soul masters are more noble.
If there is hope, I still hope that my son will take the path of a soul master. If that doesn't work out, he can go home and inherit the blacksmith shop and become a blacksmith.
You know, if a blacksmith wants to become a soul master, it depends on his destiny, but it is easy for a soul master to become a blacksmith.
The power of soul power alone makes it easier to possess powerful strength than the physical strength of ordinary people who work hard.
In addition, soul power can also bless a person's five senses, which is also a great convenience when learning blacksmithing skills.
It's a pity that most soul masters want to spend all their time on soul master training, learning about martial arts and soul beasts, honing combat skills, and other soul master-related subjects.
Blacksmithing?
What a waste of time!
As for blacksmithing, it can exercise your body?
Is the amplification of a beast's martial spirit stronger? Is it stronger with the blessing of soul rings and soul skills? After the strength is improved, is it convenient to improve the physical fitness through the baptism of soul power?
Being a blacksmith can only be chosen by those who have no hope of becoming a soul master!
This is the perception of almost everyone in Douluo Continent today. It is also the reason why the status of blacksmiths is embarrassing.
However, if you want to become a high-level blacksmith, only a soul master can do it.
Otherwise, those materials that can compete with the power of soul masters above the soul master cannot be tempered and forged into shape by ordinary people.
