"My name is Ning Tian (Wu Feng), hello, senior."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Tian and the others were shocked when they saw Huo Yuhao's appearance.
The three of them looked at each other, and six eyes blinked at the same time.
"It's you!"
Chapter 270 Xuan Ziwen's Test (4k)
"Huo Yuhao!"
Ning Tian and Wu Feng shouted in unison when they saw Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao put on the demeanor of a gentle senior, nodded slightly, and said with a peaceful smile: "Well, hello, junior sisters."
Ning Tian quickly came to his senses and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Xuan Ziwen frowned: "Do you know each other?"
Huo Yuhao nodded frankly: "It's okay, Teacher Xuan, just follow your plan."
Xuan Ziwen said calmly: "Even if you two know each other, I will not relax the assessment."
He looked at Ning Tian and Wu Feng and said in a deep voice: "My name is Xuan Ziwen, and from today on I will be your teacher."
"I don't care what level of soul instructor you were rated at in Shrek Academy before, you must go through my test again."
"If you two can't pass my test, please go to the library and study on your own."
"Understand?"
Wu Feng felt a little dissatisfied and opened his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Ning Tian.
Ning Tian put away all the doubts in his heart and answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Okay, Teacher Xuan, we are willing to accept your test."
Xuan Ziwen glanced in front of them and said, "Look at your soul guide badges. One is level three and the other is level four. I will give you two a quarter of an hour. Use the materials here as you like and make me a level three and level four core magic array that you think is the best."
"Let me remind you that you should show me your ideas and creativity. Don't show me the common soul guide rays and soul guide cannons. Let's get started."
After saying that, Xuan Ziwen walked to the side, took out a soul guide timer, and set the timer to fifteen minutes.
Ning Tian immediately took action, her expression calm and steady, she seemed to be confident. But Wu Feng's expression was not so good, she lowered her head and thought for nearly half a minute before she began to choose the metal she needed.
Huo Yuhao stopped playing and started observing the two of them with interest.
Ning Tian is a fourth-level soul instructor and a third-level wizard.
Huo Yuhao sighed secretly in his heart.
Although both came to the Sun Moon Empire to study abroad, there is a huge difference between Xing Luo and Shrek.
The students of Xingluo can only attend classes in the lower grades, but Shrek can be taught by the sixth grade teacher himself.
Huo Yuhao is now a quasi-sixth-level soul engineer. As long as he obtains the fifth soul ring and becomes a soul king, he will be able to break through smoothly.
He was quite pleased with Ning Tian's progress.
He remembered that he had once persuaded Ning Tian to join the Soul Guidance Department, but he did not expect that she actually accepted his suggestion and became a fourth-level soul guide from scratch in just two years.
What’s the secret to such fast speed?
Soon, Huo Yuhao found out the reason.
Ning Tian quickly glanced at the metal materials on the table and decisively chose a piece of bright silver metal.
"Titanium? She chose such a hard metal. Did she make the wrong choice?"
Xuan Ziwen was puzzled. Even though he was an eighth-level soul engineer, the following scene shocked him.
Ning Tian just raised his hand slightly, and a crystal clear carving knife emitting a faint green light appeared in his palm.
The carving knife was like a fine piece of glass art, which could only be viewed from a distance and not played with. However, Ning Tian used the carving knife to gently pierce the titanium, which was known for its hardness.
The seemingly fragile and delicate carving knife easily cut out an egg-sized cube from the titanium as if cutting paper. Then Ning Tian concentrated all his attention and began to engrave on the cube.
Xuan Ziwen stared at the carving knife in Ning Tian's hand and muttered in shock: "The carving knife for the list!"
"Ranked 85th, Green Glazed Blade!"
Huo Yuhao also looked at Ning Tian seriously. He didn't expect that she would take out a ranking engraving knife.
Soul masters are all too familiar with the preciousness of the ranking engraving knives. They will be the object of great demand wherever they appear in high-end auctions.
The carving knife list is evaluated every ten years, and each carving knife has unique abilities. However, most of the carving knives on the list are in the Sun Moon Empire. Huo Yuhao remembered that there were only two in the entire Shrek, in the hands of Xian Lin'er and Fan Yu respectively.
Although Huo Yuhao's Life Blade was also on the list, it was known as a vicious blade before it was purified, and no one dared to claim it as their own.
The knife in Ning Tian's hand is a genuine engraving knife on the list. Although it is ranked very low, the most important thing about a engraving knife on the list is its special ability, and the ranking is often not important.
"Will Shrek be so generous to its students?" Huo Yuhao pondered to himself, nodding with some approval.
Ning Tian's movements were not fast, but very steady.
Careful mental detection told Huo Yuhao that the core magic circle in Ning Tian's hand had a slightly different feeling than ordinary ones.
It’s really good. I feel like I’ll be able to break through to the fifth-level soul engineer soon.
Huo Yuhao thought so and focused his attention on Wu Feng again.
Compared to Ning Tian, Wu Feng's performance was much worse. He just picked up a piece of ordinary metal.
I don’t know if it was because she was nervous or for some other reason, but her performance was not good and her movements were slow.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the soul guide timer made a crisp sound.
Ning Tian completed the engraving two minutes early. Although Wu Feng was like squeezing toothpaste, at least there was no mistake and he completed it smoothly.
"The time has come, give me the thing." Xuan Ziwen's voice was full of anticipation, and he was eager to see what special effects Ning Tian's ranking engraving knife had.
Ning Tian handed him the core magic circle, and Xuan Ziwen immediately checked it.
"Acceleration array? This set is a flying soul guide? Hmm? No, this set of array is a propulsion soul guide? No, no, there are also soul guide rays?"
Xuan Ziwen was stunned for a moment, and said to Ning Tian in surprise: "You squeezed three different core magic arrays into such a small piece of titanium?"
"Aren't you afraid of bursting this piece of titanium?"
Ning Tian replied with great confidence: "Teacher Xuan, you should have seen that I am using the Ranking Carving Knife, and this is its ability."
"It can make several different magic arrays more compatible, and can use one core magic array to achieve a variety of different functions."
Xuan Ziwen asked in confusion: "A multifunctional soul guide, right? Then why did you do this?"
"Isn't it enough to just increase the size of the core array, or equip yourself with more soul guides? These three soul guides are necessary, right?"
Ning Tian explained: "Teacher Xuan, I am actually an auxiliary spirit master. You should have heard of my martial spirit."
"What martial spirit?"
Ning Tian raised his hand slightly, and a small and exquisite seven-story pagoda appeared in his hand.
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tower?" Xuan Ziwen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Are you from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect?"
Ning Tian put away his martial spirit and replied, "Yes."
Xuan Ziwen was no stranger to the Jiubao Liuli Sect, not only because it was the continent's number one auxiliary martial spirit sect, but also for a special reason.
The Jiubao Liuli Sect is actually a major client of Mingdetang. They order a large number of soul guides from Mingdetang every year and are very wealthy.
Ning Tian continued to explain: "Unlike other soul guides, I must use enough soul power to maintain the consumption of soul skills and provide assistance to my teammates during battle, and there is not much soul power left for me to use soul guides."
"My physique is not as good as other soul masters. A larger size and more equipment will increase my burden, so the soul guides I equip myself must be small and multifunctional."
"This way I can use as little soul power as possible to deal with more situations. I can use more soul power to release soul skills and provide assistance to my teammates."
After listening to Ning Tian's explanation, Xuan Ziwen nodded in agreement.
"You have tailored the most suitable soul guide for yourself according to your own situation. Very good. I declare you have passed the test."
"Can I ask you a question?"
Xuan Ziwen looked at Ning Tian seriously.
Ning Tian nodded: "Teacher Xuan, please ask."
"Where did you get your list carving knife?"
"The sect bought it specifically for me." Ning Tian said.
"Take good care of it. If you want to use it in the future, it's best to use black cloth to make a grip for the handle to cover it up." Xuan Ziwen warned seriously, "The brilliance of the green glass is a bit too eye-catching."
"I know you are exchange students from Shrek Academy and have Titled Douluo to protect you, but you'd better be careful."
"You have no experience of living in the Sun-Moon Empire, so you don't know how crazy the soul masters here are about the Ranking Knife."
"The college will do its best to ensure your safety, but we are afraid that some people will be blinded by greed and take risks."
Ning Tian frowned slightly and nodded in agreement: "Thank you, Teacher Xuan, I will pay attention."
Huo Yuhao was also thinking silently.
I didn't expect that the Jiubao Liuli Sect valued Ning Tian so much and even bought her a list engraving knife.
She did not disappoint the sect's expectations of her and had extraordinary talent as a soul guide.
In fact, Huo Yuhao had always wondered why the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had not vigorously developed soul guides for thousands of years.
He had read a lot of Mingdetang's financial reports. The Jiubao Liuli Sect was an old customer of Mingdetang and customized expensive invincible shields, soul guide rays and other civilian soul guide devices every year.
Logically speaking, the Jiubao Liuli Sect should be the most motivated to research and develop soul guides.
First, they have been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and the functions and combat positioning of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Spirit have long been fully developed. It is nothing more than finding a safe place in the back to provide assistance to teammates while they are fighting in the front.
Is it necessary for them to study martial spirits again?
Second, the Jiubao Liuli Sect should have discovered the weakness of its own martial spirit long ago. It relies too much on teammates and will be at the mercy of others when alone, so it should find a way to make up for the weakness.
Well, they did find a way to make up for it, which was to spend tens of millions of gold soul coins every year to buy it from Mingde Hall.
Can't you develop it yourself?
If we can’t cultivate a ninth-level soul guide, we can at least cultivate eighth-level and seventh-level soul guides, right?
Huo Yuhao did not think that Ning Tian could learn more in the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy than at home. He believed that joining the Soul Guidance Department was the best choice for Ning Tian.
Now it seems that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has also discovered the possibility of success and is willing to fully support Ning Tian. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect may usher in a wave of changes in the future.
