Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 28 Daily life
"Promotional match, freshman class one, wins!" Long Hengxu's voice echoed across the field, announcing the end of the match. He breathed a sigh of relief, while the students in class five, freshman class five, were instantly deflated. They had originally produced a strong dark horse class, and they had thought they could advance to higher grades, but they were stopped at this final hurdle.

On the other hand, the students in Grade 1, Class 1, immediately cheered. After all, it was three Great Spirit Masters versus one and two. Winning was to be expected, but losing would be surprising.

Long Hengxu felt sorry for Class Five, Grade One. Xie Xie, the great soul master with twin martial souls, and Gu Yue, who could control multiple elements, were both rare geniuses.

But he was also secretly glad. If Class 5 had won, he would have been burdened with responsibility. After all, Gu Yue and Tang Wulin were exceptionally strong and could have gone even further. It was just a shame that this year's First Grade Class 1 was so abnormal. If they had lost, he would have lost face.

Lin Xingyu was filled with excitement. At the age of nine, he already possessed physical strength superior to that of the Golden Dragon King and elemental energy superior to that of the Silver Dragon King. Who else could achieve such feats? Although it was only a small victory, in his eyes, it was a major step towards changing the world.

Ye Yingluo looked at Wu Changkong with a complicated expression. She won the competition, but she didn't feel much joy.

Lin Xingyu walked over with Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi and said, "Teacher Ye, thank you for fulfilling your mission!" Ye Yingluo smiled and replied, "Yes, you performed very well."

Wu Zhangkong didn't even look at Ye Yingluo. He picked up Tang Wulin, said to Xie Xie and Gu Yue, "Let's go," and left.

Gu Yue and Xie Xie approached, their faces brimming with concern. Xie Xie had woken up after leaving the stage, but his spirit power was depleted. Gu Yue anxiously asked, "Teacher Wu, how's Wu Lin?" Wu Changkong glanced at Gu Yue and said, "Nothing serious, just a concussion, and he fainted. Just go to the infirmary and ask the healing staff to take care of him." Gu Yue and Xie Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Yingluo watched Wu Zhangkong leave without a word, and she immediately felt furious. Even after losing, he was still so arrogant? She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and said to Lin Xingyu and the other two, "You did well. Are you hurt? Go to the infirmary first and get checked out before you leave school."

The next day, Lin Xingyu woke up from meditation early and breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that his soul power was one step closer to level 29. He would be able to break through in two or three days at most. The soul's spiritual ascension had to be arranged as soon as possible.

Donghai College was about to establish Class 0, Grade 1, and then they would be able to enter the Soul Ascension Platform for spiritual ascension. It would take approximately two months before their soul power reached level 30, which was plenty of time to complete the first soul ascension. He glanced at his roommate, who was still meditating, but without interrupting him, he quietly got out of bed and headed to the playground to practice martial arts.

Perhaps because of yesterday's victory, he felt his thoughts flow freely, his whole body relaxed, as if in communion with the universe. Arriving at his old spot on the playground, he practiced breathing techniques, his mind gradually focused. A fiery aura surged from his dantian, his blood flowed faster, and he continuously absorbed external light points into himself. His martial spirit's light also absorbed these light points, tempering his body together with his soul power, and repeatedly blending with the red gold armor, making its light even more dazzling.

An hour later, Lin Xingyu finished his training and enjoyed the tranquility of the early morning campus. He stumbled upon Tang Wulin talking to a young girl. Upon closer inspection, he recognized her as Ouyang Zixin. Zhang Yong had described her as a beauty in the intermediate department on their first day.

He remembered that in the original novel, this was Tang Wulin's first love, but Tang Wulin was only nine years old this year and was in love before his tenth birthday. No matter how fast he developed, it was too early.

After the two talked for a few words, Ouyang Zixin started to run faster, and Tang Wulin immediately followed. Ouyang Zixin seemed to say something to Tang Wulin, and finally the two ran away one after the other.

Lin Xingyu couldn't help but sigh, "This is truly a land of love, where love sprouts so early." He pulled out a camera from his soul storage device and snapped a photo of the two of them. Although he wanted to watch the fun, having just injured Tang Wulin yesterday, it felt inappropriate to join in today. Besides, they weren't familiar with each other, so he simply headed towards the cafeteria.

After breakfast, Lin Xingyu just arrived at the class when Zhang Yangzi came over and said, "Class monitor, the school asked the first grade to gather in the playground." Lin Xingyu nodded and said, "Then let's gather and go. You come to count the number of people." He knew in his heart that if nothing unexpected happened, Donghai College would form Class 0 of the first grade.

In the original novel, Long Hengxu proposed the creation of Class Zero because, firstly, a student was injured, secondly, the first-year students were too strong, and he was afraid of undermining the confidence of the older students. Thirdly, he assigned Xie Xie and the others to Class Five because he feared he would be accused of misjudging them if Class Five became too strong. While the current situation is different from the original novel, the strength of the first-year students is more prominent, and the plot is likely to remain unchanged.

Ye Yingluo led the students to the playground with brisk steps. Her face was rosy today, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable joy.
