17 Chapter - 17

By the time it was eight o'clock in the morning, the six students who had finished preparing themselves had gathered in Rey's room on his orders last night. The appearances of these six disciples had changed compared to their appearance last night. The arrival of the six students was immediately greeted by the fragrant aroma of the food that Rey had prepared for them to eat this morning.

They all ate happily. It didn't take long for all the food to run out. The cutlery used was immediately cleaned by Rey using her abilities and stored it in the storage room to be returned at the school because this was still property owned by the school.

After breakfast was finished, Rey immediately gathered them and ordered them to line up neatly. The line starting from the far left was Mazino, Urek, Jiang Xun, Lin Qingzhu, Qin Rea, and finally Qian Renxue.

"Actually today is not your first day of school but the first day of school tomorrow. However, you will start getting lessons and training today. Today also coincides we will immediately go to school. But before that, there were some of our friends who didn't know about the school layout and various other things. The teacher wanted by the time we got back to school, Xiao Ma, Xiao Ur, Xiao Qing, and Xiao Xun. Teacher hopes that you can invite and accompany Xiao Xue and Xiao Rea to go see the school. At the same time, the four of you introduced about the school and the teachers on duty. Can you guys do it?"

"We can do it, Master." The other four nodded.

"Good. Next about the training you will get today and so on…" Rey took out six bracelets from inside her storage room. The bracelet then immediately flew to each of his students and floated in front of them.

"Is this Master?" Qian Renxue asked curiously looking at the bracelet in front of her eyes.

"This thing in front of you is a Gravity Bracelet. This bracelet has a function as a tool for you to improve your fitness and physical foundation. This bracelet has the use of increasing your body weight by inserting soul power into the bracelet. For example, Xiao Ma weighs twenty kilograms, when Mazino puts soul force into this bracelet, number one will appear on the bracelet's surface. that meant Xiao Ma had to endure twenty kilograms of pressure all over the body. Every time there is an increase in number, the weight that needs to be handled will increase for example Xiao Ma will increase it twice and a number two appears on the surface of the bracelet, the weight that Xiao Ma needs to handle will also double to forty kilograms and so on."

"Amazing" The six students were very impressed by the function of the object in front of them. Even Mazino's eyes immediately starred because she knew this was a very suitable tool to practice increasing her strength.

"You can use it but don't activate it yet"

The six of them excitedly put the bracelets on their hands.

"Your job here is that you must be able to reach the gravity level fifty times."

"Fifty times?!" The six children were immediately surprised to hear Rey's words.

"Teacher is this true?" Urek asked in a doubtful tone because even if he didn't get a proper education from childhood, he knew that it was very difficult to do.

"That's right and Master isn't joking. Master wants before you get your soul rings, you should be able to withstand fifty times the pressure normally. That is one of the conditions. Because if you want to get a ten thousand year soul ring for your first soul ring, you must have very strong physical fitness to be able to withstand the soul pressure that exists. With you guys reaching the gravitational pressure of fifty times and being able to function normally, you can already withstand the pressure of a ten thousand year soul ring. In this task, there is no timeframe. You can finish it whenever you want. You can also use the soul power you have but you are prohibited from using your martial soul because it wouldn't be fair to other people who don't have a body martial soul."

Rey paused for a moment and continued again, "There is no such thing as a shortcut, everyone who is now standing on top of this world got everything they have now through a very difficult path even more difficult than the one you guys went through because of the fewer resources they have. compared to what you have. Unlike them, you guys have so many resources that I myself am the Guardian of the Universe, the one who stands at the pinnacle of this universe, directly teaches you. But even with me teaching you, you still have to go through a very difficult road to become a stronger person and also stand in front of others. You guys listened to it last night too, didn't you? In the next few years, the examination of the upper realms will soon be opened. Everyone with the highest level of strength in every world has the qualifications to take this exam. Everyone's results are determined by the results they get. If you want to get test results with good results, you have to go through this difficult path."

The six students immediately realized listening to Rey's lecture. Their previously hesitant eyes immediately turned to determination.

"Hahahahaha… Nice lecture, Master. It's decided, I'll be the first to finish this task." Mazino immediately roared loudly as she activated her bracelet.

The glass immediately responded to Mazino's soul force. The front panel of the bracelet instantly turns into one. At the moment the change occurred, suddenly Mazino immediately felt his body being pressed from above him. His body that was previously standing straight up instantly bent due to this pressure.

"Brother/ Mazino" The other five were surprised to see this.

"Brother are you okay—" Before Urek could finish his sentence, Mazino had given herself a signal to be quiet.

"D-don't worry. This pressure is just a piece of cake for me. I-I will definitely complete the task given by Master first and stand above others. S-besides, if I can't finish this task, s-I'll definitely be very embarrassed to meet that Uncle Fuck. That Uncle Asshole will also surely mock me to death. I-I can't give up until my dreams come true and make that Uncle Bastard admit I'm better than him" Mazino's hands clenched tightly as she gritted her teeth, she slowly stimulated her soul power throughout her body and slowly her body who was hunched over immediately stood up straight while looking at Rey.

"This assignment teacher is just a piece of cake for me." Mazino's face smiled as sweat dripped down her face.

"Good determination. Seeing you like this, I see the shadow of my friend in you" Rey helped to cheer herself up.

"Hahaha.. S-sure Master, I will definitely become the same person as him." Mazino's hands were raised forward as she clenched them tightly.

The other five children who saw this were instantly boosted by their resolve. The five of them immediately used the bracelet and activated it to level one. An extremely strong pressure directly hit their bodies. The body that was previously standing upright immediately bowed. The five of them quickly used their soul power to help increase the strength of their bodies and slowly the five of them were finally able to stand up straight again.

Rey was very happy to see all her students immediately started their practice, "Good, Master is very happy that you have taken this path. Just a suggestion, you better slowly don't rely too much on your soul power."

"Why Master?" Lin Qingzhu asked on behalf of all their questions.

"The soul power that you guys currently have is only minimal and there is no way it can last long. In addition, by not using your mental strength, you can train your physical fitness and slowly your physical fitness will also increase and become more accustomed to body pressure. The benefits that will be obtained will also be greater compared to you using soul power to train."

The other six looked at each other and nodded. They instantly canceled out their soul force and suddenly they felt the heavy pressure from before. Their bodies that were previously standing upright immediately bowed under the pressure.

"I think it's time for us to go back to school. You also still have to arrange various things in your rooms later." Rey turned to the right side and used her abilities to open a portal that was directly connected to the school garden.

"Let's go" Rey immediately stepped casually into the portal followed by her students who walked slowly because now their bodies were carrying a very heavy pressure.

Douluo Continent, Outskirts of the Great Star Dou Forest.

The Outskirts of the Great Star Dou Forest which was close to Soutou City had a number of troops already there. The troops were troops that came from the Spirit Hall and were coming to the Great Star Dou Forest on orders from Bibi Dong as the current supreme leader of the Spirit Hall, the Pope. Along with the troops, there was a chariot that had the most luxurious appearance decorated with various kinds of precious metals. The carriage was pulled by a very strong horse.

The door of the luxurious carriage opened and a very beautiful woman with an elegant appearance got down from the carriage while wearing a royal crown and holding a royal scepter. The appearance of the beautiful woman immediately made the entire army dressed in their best attire fall to their knees saying, "His Majesty the Pope"

That woman was none other than Bibi Dong who was now the Spirit Hall's Supreme Pontiff.

As Bibi Dong appeared on the scene, the two Spirit Hall elders Gui Mei or Ghost Douluo, Yue Guan or Chrysanthemum Douluo along with a middle-aged man wearing luxurious Spirit Hall robes instantly appeared in front of Bibi Dong while paying their respects.

The middle-aged man who had come with them to the outskirts of the Great Star Dou Forest was the Spirit Hall Branch Bishop stationed in Soutou City; that person's name is Damies.

"You three. Please collect each of the seven soul beasts. No need to be too picky, you can bring any soul beast here. And don't kill the soul beast, just knock it unconscious." Bibi Dong immediately gave orders to her three subordinates.

"We understand, Your Majesty the Pope" Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo knew Bibi Dong's plan, they nodded and immediately left the place to collect soul beasts according to Bibi Dong's orders.

Unlike Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo who knew the reason, Damies did not know the reason why Bibi Dong asked to collect soul beasts and the condition was not to kill either. But since this was an order from the Pope and also so that he could get positive points from the Pope, Damies didn't ask and directly carried out the order to collect soul beasts.

With the strength the three of them had, it only took about 3 minutes for each of them to have gathered twenty one soul beasts. All soul beasts collected were soul beasts with a lifespan of less than 100 years. All the soul beasts were in a stupor.

"Good job." Bibi Dong nodded.

"His Holiness the Pope, I apologize for this presumptuous. If I may ask, what is His Holiness the Pope's reason for gathering these soul beasts?" Damies asked in a nervous tone.

Bibi Dong's gaze stared at Damies. Just from Bibi Dong's gaze made Damies instantly break out in cold sweat for fear of making a mistake. Not only Bibi Dong, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo were also staring at Damies.

"There are some things I would like to try to prove." Bibi Dong said casually and continued back, "Earlier the Spirit Hall had obtained some information. The information stated that throughout this Great Star Dou Forest there had been installed an array so large that it covered the entire Great Star Dou Forest. The array was set up to attack Soul Masters who had the act of committing murder without any apparent intent to soul beasts or committing slaughter for the reason of wanting to obtain their soul bones. Therefore, we come here to verify this matter. Is this information true or not?"

"Then His Holiness the current gathering soul beast…" Before Damies could finish his sentence, Bibi Dong had already cut him off.

"That's right. This is an act of verification." Bibi Dong paused for a moment and looked at her troops who were guarding the territory, "You" Bibi Dong immediately pointed at one member of her army.

The squad member who was summoned by Bibi Dong immediately walked over to Bibi Dong and knelt down, "Your Majesty's orders"

"You kill all the soul beasts that are in this place" Bibi Dong ordered.

"Subordinate Understood, Your Majesty the Pope." The squad member nodded and stood back up.

Just as the squad members were about to start to kill the soul beasts, Bibi Dong, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately retreated a few meters from where they were because they knew if the information was true, the consequences of the actions taken by the squad members would be very dangerous even for the three of them all together. Title Douluo. Damies who saw them retreating also retreated without the slightest feeling of strangeness.

There was no look of regret in the eyes of Bibi Dong, Ghost Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo. After all, these assigned troop members were just ordinary troop members. His strength was only limited to the Soul King. For the Soul King scale in the Spirit Hall, they had many Soul Masters who had reached this level and sacrificing one person to verify one big matter was fine with them.

The troop members who had been given orders by Bibi Dong began to carry out the orders. Since the gathered soul beasts were in an unconscious state, the members of that squad very easily killed every soul beast. However, by the time the squad members had killed fifteen soul beasts, the sky suddenly turned cloudy as thunder and lightning flashed.

Everyone in the region immediately sensed the immense danger.

"Your Highness the Pope, we have to get out of here" Ghost Douluo immediately gave a suggestion in a frightened voice. His perception gave the order to get out of here immediately.

"This venerable Pope…" Damies couldn't even finish his words as he was instantly enveloped in fear from the threat of death.

"Everyone get out of here!" Bibi Dong immediately gave the order.

On orders from Bibi Dong, the entire army immediately rushed out of the area. Suddenly from above the sky, a lightning shaped like an eastern dragon appeared from roaring towards them.

*Roar*

The dragon's roar was very strong and without a long wait the lightning dragon immediately rushed towards the squad members who killed many soul beasts for no apparent reason beforehand. Even with their considerable distance apart, Bibi Dong and the others could still feel the feeling of death that the lightning dragon carried.

"Tid—" The squad member didn't finish his sentence, his body was directly hit by the lightning dragon and instantly disappeared into the place along with the clothes he was wearing.

The attack made by the lightning dragon did not cause any damage to the surroundings. The attack only made the previous squad member die on the spot without being able to ask anyone for help. The sight of this squad member being killed was seen by everyone on the spot. Suddenly, their bodies had goosebumps because they could still feel the pressure under the lightning dragon at the time it appeared.

The overcast clouds followed by the lightning slowly began to dissipate after the squad member had been killed. Seeing that the thunder clouds had disappeared, everyone still couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts. Even Bibi Dong, Ghost Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo were still unable to compose themselves after feeling the power carried by the arrays set up by the Universe Guardians.

There were several minutes of silence in the location without anyone speaking until Bibi Dong regained her composure and gazed at the three people nearby.

"You three. You guys go now and announce this matter to the world. Use the full power of the Spirit Hall so that this news is immediately known to all the people living on the Douluo Continent. An array was installed that covered the entire Great Star Dou Forest. The array would attack anyone who killed soul beasts for no apparent reason, or carried out a massacre for the sake of obtaining soul bones. But soul beast hunting activities can still be done, but follow the applicable rules and don't kill soul beasts carelessly. Say in the announcement, whoever does not follow this rule and still commits an act that violates the stated rule, they must bear the consequences respectively."

"We understand, Your Majesty the Pope." The three of them nodded and immediately rushed back with all their might to deliver this news.

Seeing the departure of the three subordinates, Bibi Dong sighed and turned to look at the direction where her troop members were killed by the power of the array that Rey had installed, " So this information… Does that mean that the Lord of the Universe Guardians is in this world? maybe i can meet him? A thought suddenly appeared in Bibi Dong's mind.

Bibi Dong's gaze fell on her squad members, "You guys go back to Soutou City and wait for me there. There are a few things I want to do here."

"But Yang—-"

"Do you guys dare to go against my orders?" Bibi Dong asked in a cold tone as she gazed at the members of her squad.

"No, no, His Holiness the Pope. The subordinates don't dare to oppose it." One of the squad members immediately shook his head in fear while breaking out in cold sweat.

"Good. Then you can go. Later when my business is done, I will return. Tell Elder Ghost and Elder Chrysanthemum, they don't have to bother looking for me. They can wait in the Spirit Hall in Soutou City with you guys."

"We understand"

The troops then immediately left, leaving Bibi Dong alone at the location. Seeing the entire army that had left her alone, Bibi Dong immediately changed her appearance. The crown and scepter that he had always used were immediately stored into the storage room. The appearance that Bibi Dong had now was only wearing clothes made of silk while her hair was loose and slightly braided at the back.

With the appearance that Bibi Dong had now, it was almost impossible to say this woman was a woman who was over thirty years old. Her current appearance was almost the same as that of an eighteen year old girl.
