Chapter 3

Mo Jiang's City Lord's Mansion.

"Principal Xu!"

The two guards guarding the gate hurriedly bowed when they saw Principal Xu visiting. They were students who graduated from this low-level soul master.

"Ok!"

Headmaster Xu was dressed in civilian clothes, with his hands behind his back, watching the two gatekeepers nodded slightly, and walked towards the city lord's mansion.

"Xu Xing? Tell me yourself, how long has it been since you came to see me?"

The city lord sat cross-legged on the main seat in the living room, smiling and looking at Xu Xing below.

Xu Xing has been the principal here for more than 11 years. He is not from Mojiang City. There are not many soul masters who have left under him. Most of them have stayed because of their talents. After becoming a member of the City Guard Army, over the years, not a single soldier committed a crime, and even when he had to go to the front line, he remained silent, neither humble nor overbearing.

This is all due to Xu Xing, without his teaching, there would not be such a fine city guard.

"How's the battle going?"

Xu Xing and the city lord mostly talked about the imperial war. They came here a while ago, but recently, Xu Xing didn't come for a month, and the city lord didn't take the initiative to look for Xu Xing.

"It's not good, another legion is gone..."

The city lord shook his head and sighed, "This time the conscription has to be done earlier."

"From once in three years to once in two years, to once a year, once every 3 months, the time for conscription is getting faster and faster!"

Xu Xing frowned, and took a sip of the tea on the table.

The city lord waved his hand and said, "I can't do anything about it, I'm following the order, and the battle situation is getting tighter and tighter. It is said that the Star Luo Empire has sent out the imperial guards who are holding the line, and that is an important figure in the Star Luo Empire. The guards! There are ten thousand people, each of whom has the strength of a soul master, even stronger than me, let's see if we can defeat the cavalry of the Soul Fighting Empire."

"They will not know the pain until the Soul Dou Empire bleeds once. It's fine for them to provoke the Star Luo Empire, but they have to provoke us together! But...why does our Heaven Dou Empire keep losing to the Soul Dou Empire?"

Xu Xing was a little puzzled.

"Now it's still a small-scale legion battle, only between the soul king and below, so we are at a disadvantage. If they dare to expand the scale of the battle, will they be the opponents of our Heaven Dou Empire?"

"Do you still remember the General Yang I told you about before?"

the mayor asked.

"still remember."

Xu Xing still had some impressions. It seemed that he was a genius who graduated from Tiandou Royal Academy and joined the army. He was only 23 years old. After joining the army for three years, he went from being a centurion to being a king of the empire.

"Yang Zhenyun, Wuhun Soul Breaking Spear, a level 79 Soul Sage, entered the battlefield half a month ago, went straight to the Soul Fighting Empire barracks, and fought two Soul Sages and two Soul Emperors in one battle. In the end, one Soul Sage was severely injured, and two Soul Sages were beheaded. Named Soul Emperor, retreated with only a slight injury to his arm, too strong!"

The city lord looked envious, "The King of Broken Soul, well-deserved reputation!"

"So, why did you lose a legion?"

Xu Xing was even more puzzled.

"It is said that the Soul Fighting Empire used tricks to hold back the Soul Breaker King, and raided a newly formed army stationed outside the city. It should be revenge!"

The city lord said in a deep voice, "A total of 3 people, four soul emperors, suffered heavy casualties, less than [-]% of the soldiers remained, and one seriously wounded soul emperor, the Soul Fighting Empire is absolutely amazing!"

Saying that, the city lord was so excited that he slapped the table in front of him to pieces.

"I thought it was a head-on confrontation before, and I couldn't figure it out. Later, I asked the senior official with a carrier pigeon. The senior official wrote back and told me that the army was raided. There may be spies in the army. Now a thorough investigation has begun. "

"Have you delivered the carrier pigeon?"

The focus of Xu Xing's attention was a bit strange, he asked.

The city lord was stunned, "Have you got it? Did it cost me a lot of soul coins?"

"You won't tell me?"

"You didn't ask?"

The two stared at each other.

Xu Xing was speechless, "Today is October 10th..."

"what happened?"

The city lord was in a daze, and hadn't figured out the situation yet.

What happened on October 10th?What's important?

"The awakening of the martial soul is about to begin, so I handed in the letter..."

Xu Xing hid his face. If he had known that the city lord would deliver the pigeons, he would just let the city lord deliver them. It would take one day to arrive, but now it takes three days for someone to deliver it...

"Oh, my memory."

The city lord patted his forehead, "Forget it, just spend more time! It's not urgent anyway, and I just happened to notify other villages."

"Fine……"

Xu Xing sighed.

Awakening the martial soul is the most sacred thing on the Douluo Continent. Some people soar into the sky and become soul masters, while others can only be ordinary people for a lifetime.

The fact is so cruel, but people have long been used to it, because in this world the weak have no right to speak.

"Your City Lord's Mansion should have a lot of books, right?"

Xu Xing took a few sips of tea, and then asked again.

"Book? Do you want to borrow it?"

The city lord was taken aback, "I remember you borrowed a lot of books from our city lord's mansion, right? What about the art of war, the laws of ordinary people of the Heaven Dou Empire, the laws of soul masters..."

"I borrowed more than 20 books. It seems that you haven't returned a few books..."

Xu Xing was embarrassed, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Damn! Isn't this still copying by hand! No matter how you say it, the low-level soul master academy is an academy, so save more books, anyway, no one in your city lord's mansion reads..."

The city lord immediately understood Xu Xing's meaning, waved his hand and said, "That's all! Just go and get it, don't lose it!"

"Thank you, the city lord! I will bid farewell!"

Xu Xing drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, then stood up, cupped his hands and retreated.

About 10 minute passed.

"City Lord..."

An old man hurried in.

"Butler? What's the matter?"

The city lord rubbed his temples and asked.

This old man used to be a commander in the city guard army, and he was one of the few soul masters in Mo Jiang's city.

The city guards of Mojiang City are relatively large in the nearby cities, with more than 2000 people, and [-] people in other small cities are not bad.

"Principal Xu, he..."

The butler hesitated to speak, wondering if he should tell the city lord.

"Speak directly! What did Xu Xing do again?"

The city lord said lightly.

"He...he emptied the library..."

"Fuck?"

The city lord stared wide-eyed, "How did he evacuate?"

The library in the City Lord's Mansion is not big, but at least there is a room full of books and materials. For easy reference, some new policies and records of famous people and events over the years are also placed in the library.

"I don't know! When I find out, the library is already empty..."

The butler's face was full of helplessness.

Who would have thought that an old man who couldn't even break through a great soul master could empty a room full of books and materials within 10 minutes.

The city lord's temple was aching again, he waved his hand, and said helplessly: "Forget it, take it to him, if I lose something, I'll ask him to settle the score, back down!"

"Yes! City Lord..."

The butler retreated slowly.

At this moment, Mo Jiang is at the gate of the low-level soul master academy.

"These books..."

Su Yuwei looked at the books piled up in front of the school with a look of shock. He was accompanied by several children who were a few years older than Su Yuwei. These were students who had not yet graduated. Most of them were not talented. Didn't reach level 10.

Low-level soul master academies do not provide soul rings, and mainly accept soul masters with poor talents for cultivation. After reaching level 10, they can be sent to intermediate-level soul master colleges to choose soul rings.

Every low-level college has two recommendation quotas every year, and they can send soul masters with good talents directly to intermediate colleges, even if they are not at the tenth level.

This year, three more students graduated and were sent to Melos Intermediate Soul Master Academy in July.

Some children, although their spirits are not good, are born with a relatively high level of spirit power and can cultivate quickly. Generally, they can rise from level 1 to level 10 in less than a year.

Therefore, the intermediate soul master academy will recruit these students who have just stepped into the soul master world for one month every season.

Spring, February, March, April, April enrollment.

In summer, May, June, and July are recruited in July.

Autumn, August, September, October, October enrollment.

In winter, November, December, January, January enrollment.

Even so, less than 30 people in Mojiang City become soul masters every year.

Including the surrounding villages, there are less than 3 people in Mojiang City. Every year, at least a hundred children awaken their martial souls, and the ratio of them becoming soul masters is 5:1.

Some small towns are even worse, with a ratio of 10:1.

"Everyone help the principal and move the books to the library."

Xu Xing looked at the children and said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Several people moved for 10 minutes before moving all the used books to the library.

"Principal, what are you doing with so many books?"

The three teachers didn't understand.

"Hey, the city lord is willing to help, in the future! Let our students read more books, and recruit some children who can't be soul masters by the way, let them learn knowledge, can't you be a farmer at home?"

Xu Xing said with a smile, but kept looking at Su Yuwei.

These books are actually prepared for Su Yuwei. Even if Su Yuwei can't become a soul master, maybe he can become a small official with his vast knowledge.
