Chapter 313
The Significance of the Elemental Academy
"This pill can help your martial spirit transform."
As she spoke, Lin Mu slowly walked up to Ling Luochen and briefly introduced the pills in her hand.
With his current abilities, he can refine pills that help martial souls transform, even without immortal herbs, especially for elemental martial souls, where the effect will be even better.
"Martial Soul Transformation?"
Looking at the crystal-clear, glass-like pill in his hand, Ling Luochen's eyes flashed with shock and excitement.
As one of the most promising students in the inner academy, her ice element martial soul, combined with her self-created soul skills passed down from the Elemental Academy, is enough to easily fight opponents of higher levels.
However, her martial soul was never the ultimate ice, far inferior to Teacher Su Tong's Ice and Snow Maiden martial soul.
Throughout the history of the Elemental Academy, there have been instances of transformation into ultimate elements.
However, this often requires absorbing extremely high-quality soul rings or consuming extremely rare immortal herbs.
Regardless of the plan, the difficulty is extraordinary, especially since Lin Mu has already snatched the prizes from Xue Di and Bing Di.
Although there are still Ice Jade Scorpions over ten thousand years old in the far north, it is difficult to transform a martial soul into the ultimate ice form with just a ten-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion.
Therefore, Lin Mu decided to lend Ling Luochen a hand.
As a pure elemental martial soul, if it were to transform into ultimate ice, its martial soul strength would probably be no less than that of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and it might even be stronger in terms of area-of-effect attacks.
After some hesitation, Ling Luochen couldn't resist the temptation and put the pill in his mouth.
Soon, a chill equivalent to that of the core region of the far north emanated from Ling Luochen's body.
Even a titled Douluo would feel uncomfortable with such an extreme problem, let alone the many students present, who would find it difficult to persevere based on their own cultivation level.
Just then, Lin Mu snapped his fingers.
An even more powerful flame appeared out of nowhere, not only neutralizing the chill but also providing a certain boost to the students' cultivation.
After ten thousand years of cultivation, Lin Mu had already mastered the control of flames to perfection, and even developed them to assist in cultivation.
However, this effect is almost useless in the realm of gods.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Mu summoned the Snow Emperor.
Compared to ten thousand years ago, the Snow Empress's appearance has not changed much, but her temperament has changed a lot. She used to be a flawless ice beauty, but now she is more like an immaculate goddess.
After all, once the Snow Empress condensed her Ice Godhood, her strength even surpassed that of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, making her the most powerful of the nine Soul Spirits.
"Snow Empress, help her transform the icy power within her body."
"According to the master."
Upon hearing Lin Mu's command, Xue Di nodded slightly and floated gracefully behind Ling Luochen.
"I never expected that the first Dean would actually subdue the Ice and Snow Maiden."
Yu Xiaoting's pupils dilated in shock. Although he had heard some rumors about spirits, he did not know the specific methods, let alone witness such a powerful spirit.
It has probably surpassed the level of a soul beast and reached the level of a god.
Their academy has a teacher with the Ice and Snow Maiden martial soul, who has already reached the Soul Douluo level at a young age.
If I can receive guidance from the first dean, I might have the opportunity to break through level 100 and become the third deity of the Elemental Academy.
Not only Su Tong, but even Ling Luochen has a chance.
At this moment, Lin Mu glanced at Yu Xiaoting, who seemed to be deep in thought.
With just one glance, Yu Xiaoting's heart stopped.
Although he had never met Lin Mu before, legends about Lin Mu had been circulating on the continent. Despite the different versions, the fact that he was ruthless was undeniable.
Faced with such a legendary figure, how could he dare to play any tricks? In fact, Lin Mu could completely guess Yu Xiaoting's ulterior motives. Although it was for the development of the academy, it was actually a kind of selfishness.
The Elemental Academy is already powerful enough; if it were to reach an even higher level, it would be more likely to encounter problems.
Before long, Ling Luochen had completely absorbed the effects of the medicine.
"My martial spirit has evolved into the ultimate ice."
Ling Luochen noticed the change in his martial soul and looked somewhat incredulous, not expecting that his wish would be fulfilled so easily.
Although her original ice element martial soul was already extremely strong, it was still far inferior to the true ultimate ice; this was a qualitative leap.
With her self-created soul skills, she was even confident that she could deal with a Soul Saint.
"What is this person's background?"
Looking at the mysterious young man before her, a hint of curiosity flashed in Ling Luochen's beautiful eyes.
Even though the Elemental Academy is the most advanced academy on the continent, it doesn't have the ability to help martial souls evolve, let alone transform into ultimate ice.
A figure connected to the Elemental Academy, and far more powerful than the Grand Speaker.
Perhaps only those two legendary figures remain.
Judging from his appearance, this person is most likely the founder of the Elemental Academy and the developer of the elemental soul master cultivation method.
After ten thousand years of development, elemental-type Soul Masters have become the mainstream.
Among Soul Masters of similar cultivation level and Martial Soul quality, Elemental Soul Masters are significantly stronger than Soul Masters of other types.
Later, Lin Mu declined Ling Luochen's invitation and left the training ground with Gu Yuena and Tang Wutong.
Over the next two days, Lin Mu thoroughly investigated the Elemental Academy.
There were no major problems, but he still managed to identify a few individuals with ulterior motives. These individuals had not committed any heinous acts; they were simply using the academy to make a profit.
After all, the Elemental Academy has a very prestigious reputation, and a single student spot is quite valuable.
However, this directly crossed Lin Mu's bottom line.
His initial purpose in establishing the Elemental Academy was simply to create his own godhood. Later, he abandoned this path but did not choose to disband the Elemental Academy.
In his view, Shrek Academy's monopoly on resources in the original work seriously affected the continent's trajectory, and even led it in a negative direction.
From this perspective, it is indeed inappropriate to establish an academy comparable to that of an empire.
However, if he doesn't intervene, this continent will still evolve into what it looks like tens of thousands of years later in the original story.
In particular, the emergence of the Soul Spirit Technique accelerated the extinction of Soul Beasts.
From a personal perspective, the state of this continent has almost nothing to do with him.
However, he could not tolerate evil spirit masters courting death under his nose.
Since the Star Dou Great Forest has existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years, hunting spirit rings normally would not lead to the extinction of spirit beasts.
The only problem is that ten thousand years later, the average cultivation level of Soul Masters will be higher, and they will acquire more Soul Rings.
As time goes on, the demand for soul beasts will likely increase.
Therefore, it is necessary to control the number of high-level Soul Masters.
This is the significance of the Elemental Academy's existence.
No matter how many low-level Soul Masters there are, it's difficult to affect the survival of the Star Dou Great Forest, given the sheer number of hundred-year and thousand-year Soul Beasts.
Therefore, each admission spot is especially important and requires fair treatment. (End of Chapter)
