Chapter 117 One Year

"I know, I know."

Xiao Hongchen nodded seriously, not knowing whether he had heard it or not.

Wang Lin didn’t know whether Xiao Hongchen had said anything wrong to Meng Hongchen or not, but it didn’t affect his and Meng Hongchen’s normal relationship.

Naturally, he didn't ask too many questions.

Ever since Wang Lin gave the magic grass to Ji Juechen and Xiao Hongchen respectively, a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this year, nothing major happened either at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy or on the entire continent.

Life is still normal and everyone is living a normal life.

However, during this period, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and Shrek Academy held many negotiations and finally finalized all matters and the specific list of exchange students.

Because of Xiao Hongchen, Wang Lin naturally saw the list of exchange students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

The current list of exchange students is very different from the original. Among the Hongchen siblings, only Xiao Hongchen appeared on the list as a hostage, while Meng Hongchen was left in the academy.

This was the condition Jing Hongchen agreed to only after Shrek Academy promised to hunt a suitable spirit ring for Xiao Hongchen in Shrek Academy during the exchange period.

Of course, before hunting souls, Mingdetang must be notified, and Mingdetang will arrange for some personnel to join Xiao Hongchen's guard team.

Simply put, the person who secretly protects Xiao Hongchen must be someone from Mingdetang, otherwise Jing Hongchen will not feel at ease.

Regarding this issue, even though they had no intention of harming anyone, Shrek Academy had no choice but to accept it. Jing Hongchen didn't trust them, so how could they trust Jing Hongchen either?

Also in exchange, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy agreed to allow Shrek Academy to send two soul guidance teachers to accompany them.

Wang Lin had no opinion on this. He could not influence Jing Hongchen's thoughts. He just told Xiao Hongchen that if he went to hunt souls in the future, he must not let Taotie Douluo Xuanzi protect him.

Wang Lin had repeated this incident countless times in the past year, so Xiao Hongchen naturally took it to heart, although he believed that even for him, Shrek Academy would not send a level 98 Super Douluo to protect him.

But Wang Lin said, "It's better to be safe than sorry." After all, Xuan Zi's reliability is obvious to all.

Also under the influence of Xiao Hongchen, Ji Juechen was arranged into the exchange student team, thanks to the Yi Nian Wen Dao flower.

After absorbing the One Thought Asking Flower, Ji Juechen's swordsmanship increased greatly. After a month of enlightenment, he wanted to fight with someone whenever he had nothing to do.

Wang Lin and Xiao Hongchen had considered this in advance and had long begun to avoid Ji Juechen when walking on campus, although they were caught once or twice, forcing them to take action.

But most of the time, Ji Juechen couldn't find them and could only vent his strong desire to fight on other people. Even the students in the academy could no longer satisfy him.

There were several times when Ji Juechen came to the teacher with a sword, and even Xuan Ziwen was harassed by Ji Juechen once.

In an instant, countless complaints were directly or indirectly transmitted to Jing Hongchen. Jing Hongchen had no choice but to adopt Xiao Hongchen's suggestion and put Ji Juechen on the list of exchange students.

Prepare to let it torment the monsters of Shrek Academy.

In a year, with the blessing of the golden dragon blood bone, Wang Lin's physical strength and cultivation level improved in tandem. He only broke through to the Soul Emperor level one month later than Xiao Hongchen, who had refined the Toad Treasure Golden Mushroom.

The speed of cultivation was terrifying, and of course Wang Lin was not surprised. During his trip a year ago, Wang Lin obtained three natural treasures: the Heavenly Dream Relic, the Golden Dragon Blood Right Arm Bone, and the Wonderful Mushroom Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Any one of them would be a supreme treasure.

And Wang Lin possessed all three at the same time, so this speed could only be considered normal, not to mention that a lot of Wang Lin’s energy was also diverted to the soul guide during this period.

Otherwise, his speed in becoming a Soul Emperor would have been only faster than Xiao Hongchen's. During this year, he also took a piece of ten thousand year old whale glue, as well as the top-level food supplements from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

The most important thing is that in terms of improving hard power, Wang Lin and Ji Juechen are equally matched. Of course, this is the premise that Wang Lin has some shortcomings.

This also gave Wang Lin a rough estimate of his own strength. When competing with Ji Juechen, Wang Lin had never used the Golden Dragon Spear.

At the same time, within a year, Wang Lin released countless pieces of knowledge through scientific bulletins, mainly basic physics, basic mathematics, and basic chemistry which were sealed as soon as they came out.

The academies did not react much to the first two, and they were never banned. The knowledge Wang Lin taught was all basic among the basics.

Especially in physics, Wang Lin only talks about macroscopic knowledge, and most of his knowledge is about summarizing and sorting out common phenomena.

It is very helpful for people to understand the world, so it will naturally not be banned.

On the contrary, basic chemistry was sealed directly after just two articles were released. All relevant knowledge must be submitted to the state for review and then disseminated selectively.

Wang Lin gladly accepted this, which showed that the Sun-Moon Empire could see the true value of the knowledge he released.

Of course, we can’t blame the empire’s top leaders for reacting this way. After all, the knowledge about basic chemistry that Wang Lin released was too scary.

The content of Wang Lin’s first article on basic chemistry is industrial copper production, and he vividly and clearly explains the relevant principles of electrolytic copper smelting.

Wang Lin explained these things clearly, and the related industries of the Sun-Moon Empire were even able to improve the original copper smelting method based on the knowledge provided by Wang Lin, greatly increasing the copper production.

This incident scared Xu Tianran, who was sitting deep in the palace, half to death. He urgently ordered Mingdetang to seal all the content about basic chemistry in the scientific tabloid.

As the crown prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, Xu Tianran naturally knew what made the Sun-Moon Empire stronger than the three other empires.

Fortunately, Xu Tianran was relieved that Wang Lin was willing to cooperate. Otherwise, given Wang Lin's status as Long Xiaoyao's disciple, he, Xu Tianran, might not be able to restrain Wang Lin.

Wang Lin was even more proactive about this. Every time he wrote a piece of basic chemistry knowledge, he would hand it in and seal it up.

As the saying goes, knowledge will only be of real use when it is in the hands of people who can understand it.

The Sun-Moon Empire has surpassed the three great empires in soul guides for nearly a hundred years. Not only has it surpassed the three great empires in simple soul guides, but it has also far surpassed the three great empires in the technologies related to soul guides.

Such as metal mining and smelting technology.

The technology of electrolytic copper production alone has already been put into practice and has related industries in the Sun-Moon Empire, but the three major empires don't even know what electrolytic copper production is.

The gap between the two is obvious, which is why the Sun-Moon Empire was able to sweep across the continent in a crushing manner in the original novel.

The crushing of the Sun-Moon Empire in all aspects except soul masters was a dimensionality reduction blow to the three empires, if it weren't for the interference of a shameless god in the lower world.

It is inevitable that the Sun-Moon Empire will unify the continent.
