Douluo's first level innate soul power

Chapter 25: To Soto City
At night, Gu Qingcheng meditated under a tree, while Zhu Zhuqing fell asleep beside the campfire.

She closed her eyes, feeling a little melancholy. Today's experience was the most memorable one in her past ten years.

Gu Qingcheng's figure appeared in my mind, and I thought: What kind of person is he? He looks strange, but his tone makes people feel comfortable. His behavior is not so restrictive. He is also very strong. If I want to become his disciple, I wonder if he will refuse.

Gu Qingcheng didn't think as much as she thought. His goal was to get some funds from the Soul Arena after arriving in Soto City, otherwise the Gatling gun would be like a fire stick in the ring, gathering dust.

They stayed silent all night as they waited for the dawn. However, this short night felt like a long time to Zhu Zhuqing.

Because she had been thinking about becoming a disciple the whole night, the voice in her heart kept urging her to do so, but her body did not listen to her.

The sun rose from the east and climbed out of the clouds early.

The bonfire had gone out, leaving behind a pile of black ashes and some unburned residue.

Gu Qingcheng woke up from meditation and saw Zhu Zhuqing still lying there, so he scooped up a handful of water from the stream and splashed it on his face.

"Whoosh!"

"Huhuhu~"

After wiping the water off her face, Zhu Zhuqing woke up and tidied her clothes. She hid behind a big tree and changed into the same torn clothes she had worn yesterday.

Gu Qingcheng was speechless upon seeing this, and thought to himself: Why are they all exactly the same? Wouldn’t it be better to change the color?

He has several sets of the same style, but with different color combinations.

"Let's go. It's only two or three hours from here to Soto City."

The two didn't communicate much on the way, just talking about this and that. During the conversation, Gu Qingcheng said that he had never been to Soto City either.

When the two talked about the academy, Zhu Zhuqing felt from his words that he had a lot of opinions about Shrek Academy.

Seeing her surprised look, Gu Qingcheng said, "Do you think I have a problem with this college?"

"Yeah." Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

"Actually, I have no dissatisfaction or opinions about this college. There is just one thing, that is their admission requirements. Have you noticed this?" Gu Qingcheng said while asking Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. She knew the admission requirements of Shrek Academy, but she didn't think about what the problem was. So she asked, "Can you tell me about it?"

Seeing her naive look, Gu Qingcheng said to her, "First of all, the three conditions for admission are ridiculous. The first is that the soul power must be at least level 21; the second is that the age cannot exceed 12 years old; the third is that the martial soul must be extremely strange and special. Put these three together, how can they be ordinary people? Which one of them is not a genius. Such an academy is looking for geniuses among ordinary people, no wonder there are only a few people, and they even say that they don't meet their requirements."

After listening to Gu Qingcheng's analysis, Zhu Zhuqing more or less understood what he meant, but she still wanted to go and take a look, because Dai Mubai was there, and she wanted to find out whether he had really given up.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Qingcheng knew what Zhu Zhuqing was thinking, but that was none of his business.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at him and said, "What do you think a college should be like?"

"Academy, as the name suggests, is a place for learning. Although many academies only emphasize the level of soul power first, they also need to teach students basic behavioral qualities. A good student will not take the initiative to provoke others and cause trouble. A person with good character will never be a playboy or linger in romantic places. A strong person will not bully the weak. And a capable academy should not only teach geniuses. If it can teach a student with poor qualifications to become a genius, then it is a good academy." Of course, this is his personal opinion.

"A great man once said: Genius is nothing more than one percent talent and ninety-nine percent perspiration. That's what we call genius."

"So, do you understand?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, indicating that she understood. What she didn't expect was that Gu Qingcheng would understand it this way. "But are there really such people?"

Gu Qingcheng felt very hurt. He didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing to say this. I asked you, isn't that what she is seeing?
"It's right in front of you? No way, no way, such a big person, and you didn't notice it. Alas, God is really blind, someone like me who is so outstanding and has such noble character, yet no one likes me." Gu Qingcheng said narcissistically and boastfully.

Zhu Zhuqing almost laughed out loud, but forced herself to hold it back.

"If you want to laugh, just laugh. Why are you holding it back?" Gu Qingcheng said, looking at her face which was unable to hold back laughter.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately returned to her usual self and said calmly, "No!"

"Oh, boring!"

It was almost noon when Gu Qingcheng and Zhu Zhuqing were already a few steps away from Soto City. Then they went into the city together and strolled leisurely.

……

Xiao Wu and Tang San traveled for several days and finally arrived at Soto City. As soon as they entered the city, Xiao Wu chattered and dragged Tang San around.

"Xiao San, look, it's so lively"

Sometimes he watched the performance, sometimes he ate, and sometimes he went to sell candied haws, which kept Tang San busy all the time.

"Hey, Xiao Wu, slow down!" Tang San felt helpless towards the person he loved most, but his eyes were full of doting.

……

"Okay, let's say goodbye here!"

Gu Qingcheng looked at Zhu Zhuqing. The two had been walking around the city for quite a while. She was going to the college, and he was going to make money.

The two of them have different goals, so it’s better for them to part ways as soon as possible.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were a little evasive, and she didn't dare to look at Gu Qingcheng, but she nodded, "Okay, okay!"

Gu Qingcheng was about to leave when Zhu Zhuqing asked, "Will we meet again?"

He didn't know what to say, "If you really go to Shrek, I will visit you if I have a chance. Take care!"

In Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Gu Qingcheng's back gradually disappeared, and in the end it was just a sea of ​​people coming and going.

She was also preparing to go to the Shrek Academy's enrollment area. During the time she escaped, she still had some hope for Dai Mubai, but soon she was disappointed.
