Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 208 The List of Young Geniuses

The morning mist had not yet dissipated by the shores of Poseidon Lake when Shen Yi, dressed in a white teacher's robe, stood beneath a weeping willow. She watched the three people approaching, her gaze lingering briefly on the golden tips of Gula Cui's hair.

The battle three years ago feels like yesterday, and she still remembers it vividly.

Just like in the original story, Shen Yi and Wu Changkong were in charge of teaching the new students. Shen Yi was already waiting for the three of them by the Sea God Lake. When she saw Gula, Shen Yi was not surprised. There was one less student, and someone had informed her beforehand.

Shen Yi smiled gently and said, "It's been a month since the new students started school, and the class monitor and academic representative have already been chosen. If you want to take on these positions, you can issue a challenge later."

Unlike in the original story, Gu Yue became much more distant from Tang Wulin over the three years and did not help him in the competition for class monitor.

Ultimately, Wu Siduo won the position of class monitor with her fourth-ring cultivation level and her own martial soul fusion skill.

Gu Yue served as the vice class monitor, while Tang Wulin only served as the forging committee member. However, ordinary students did not have the same high consumption as work-study students, so Tang Wulin was quite content with his lot.

Since all three of them came from the inner courtyard, Shen Yi gave them a general explanation of the class situation.

Ye Xinglan raised her head: "Teacher, I'm only interested in becoming stronger. I'll let someone else take the class committee position."

Xu Lizhi didn't speak. He didn't even have enough time to cultivate normally, and his secondary profession was limited by his cultivation level, so he was only a level three mecha repairman.

"Class committee members..."

Gula hesitated, not lacking in the contributions he had made as a class committee member. The recipe for the Body Strengthening and Bone Strengthening Ointment had already provided him with enough resources to forge a four-word battle armor, and his wealth would continue to increase as his forging level improved.

"I'm not interested either, let them play."

Shen Yi smiled, not thinking that Gula was arrogant at all. As one of the class teachers, she knew Gula's martial soul information and assessment results. He had twin martial souls, a ten-thousand-year soul spirit, and entered the class with a perfect score. Even Wu Siduo in the class would not be his match.

Shen Yi led the three into the freshman teaching building and into a huge lecture hall that could hold three hundred people. The class had one hundred students, all of whom were freshmen.

Gula nodded secretly. It seemed that Shrek Academy had learned its lesson and that instead of dividing classes into many small groups, it would be better to have the two best teachers teach in large classes.

In the same class, in the same teaching environment, it is easier to see who is more worthy of being nurtured.

Seeing that there were three more students, the trainees cast curious glances at them.

"People are still enrolling a month after the start of the semester. Is Shrek Academy's supervision that lax?"

"That guy is so handsome! He's my type!"

"The girl is cold and aloof, just like the vice class monitor..."

Discussions rose and fell. Tang Wulin waved to Gula and Xu Lizhi. He sat with Xie Xie, next to the class committee members.

Since Tang Wulin was merely a forging committee member, Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing naturally wouldn't oppose him because of his "illegitimate appointment," nor would they have any objections to a level-five forging master. Therefore, Tang Wulin had a fairly good relationship with them.

"Tang Wulin, do you know them?"

Luo Guixing pushed up his tactical goggles, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes as he discreetly probed Gula's background.

This is no secret. Tang Wulin nodded: "Gula and we all come from Donghai Academy. After the entrance examination, we were invited to enter the inner academy."

Finally, Tang Wulin added, "Yeah, even better than the class monitor." He had long noticed Luo Guixing's occasional displays of superiority and disdain for his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, but because of his personality, Luo Guixing hadn't shown it too obviously, so he hadn't bothered with it.

In fact, he took some time this month to unseal the second layer of the seal, but he still couldn't do anything to Luo Guixing, whose martial soul was spatial element. She could teleport anytime, anywhere, which was too unfair.

No matter how powerful you are, there's nothing you can do if you can't hit someone.

However, it won't be long before the second seal is broken, and he feels that he is about to learn the first move of the Crimson Dragon Nine Absolutes!

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, Wu Siduo remained silent, but her eyes suddenly sharpened as she stared intently at Gula.

As a new generation member of the Netherworld Clan, she was not afraid of any challenge. Moreover, she wanted to see just how strong Gula, who had been invited into the inner courtyard, would be!
Shen Yi pressed his hands down, his soul power surging and expanding outwards, and the noise in the classroom stopped abruptly. He said, "We have three new transfer students joining our class: Gula, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi. Everyone, please welcome them."

Tang Wulin led the way, and sparse applause rang out in the classroom.

Nobody likes privileges when they aren't something they enjoy themselves.

Inevitably, many students disliked the three transfer students, Gula.

Gula naturally didn't care about the hostility from passersby. Looking at the tiered classroom, he felt inexplicably emotional and wanted to sit in the back. But remembering that he was a good student in his life, he went to the seat left by Shen Yi in the first row.

Ye Xinglan walked straight to the empty seat next to Gula. Xu Lizhi narrowed his small eyes and almost cried out in grievance. He could only sit back and sit to the left and behind Tang Wulin.

Wu Changkong walked up to the podium, his cold demeanor silencing the classroom. "Gula, go find someone to make up for the lessons you missed over the past month after class. If you don't understand anything, come ask me or Teacher Shen."

"Everyone else, the schedule for this morning has been changed; you'll be going to the training ground."

A month later, Wu Changkong needs to get to know Gula again.

Wu Changkong understood the value of the Golden Tree Meditation. Perhaps others wouldn't grow much in a month, but he knew that Gula was a true monster and couldn't be judged by ordinary standards.

In particular, there are a few so-called members of the "Young Genius List" in the class who are a bit arrogant. Gula's arrival is a good opportunity for them to see the diversity of the world.

More than a hundred people marched to the training ground. The training ground was actually a battle space similar to the Spirit Ascension Platform, which could accommodate Soul Masters below a certain cultivation level to fight freely without worrying about casualties.

There were hundreds of egg-shaped cockpits in the training ground. Shen Yi gently tapped the button on the wall to activate the training ground.

Wu Changkong said calmly, "Each of you choose one to go in. You will be teleported to the forest. The forest environment is limited, and you will encounter other classmates or soul beasts."

"The training ground is very safe. Death will automatically remove you from the space and will not harm you in reality. Scores will be calculated based on the number of people eliminated and the time spent in the training ground, and a small number of contribution points will be awarded, so don't think about slacking off."

Many people are still unclear about the deeper meaning of "Dancing in the Sky". If the relationships between the trainees are compared to a food chain, then Gula is undoubtedly a prehistoric giant shark.

Once everyone was settled, Shen Yi activated the training ground device, and a disorienting sense of weightlessness echoed in everyone's minds.

"Om-"

Gula opened her eyes, and the scene that came into view was a lush primeval forest, with vegetation covering the earth and the natural freshness refreshing her heart.

He took a deep breath: "Unfortunately, it's ultimately virtual."
