Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 41 Final Exam
"During the riot period, you can teleport directly to the Soul Ascension Platform together. There will be many more soul beasts, the time it takes to absorb spiritual power will be extended a hundred times, and the fighting between soul masters will be more intense... Therefore, the opponents you will face will be very strong."

Upon hearing that the final exam would involve forming a team and entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, Wang Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief. With Lin Xingyu leading the team, there was still a chance they could survive two hours. As for the remaining issues, they weren't a big deal. He'd just focus on surviving two hours first!
Wu Zhangkong gave everyone in Class Zero a detailed introduction to the effects of the riot on their Spirit Ascension Platform, then gave them three days of vacation and turned around and left.

As soon as Wu Changkong left, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Zhang Yangzi immediately cheered, and Wang Jinxi and Gu Yue also immediately looked relaxed.

Lin Xingyu couldn't help but smile with ease. After seeing Lin Xingyu's self-created soul skills, Wu Changkong's requirements for Lin Xingyu suddenly increased a lot. He never opened his martial soul when practicing with other people, but he never turned off his martial soul when practicing with Lin Xingyu!
At least he won't be beaten these few days. After that day, Wu Changkong called Lin Xingyu over alone to learn about his martial soul situation. After that, Wu Changkong was really cruel!
Lin Xingyu's triple defense of martial soul, solidity, and qi sea damage reduction was a little bit overwhelmed, especially after Lin Xingyu and Wu Changkong learned sword.

After school, everyone went to the restaurant to eat together. After eating, they returned to the dormitory to meditate together.

Xie Xie asked, "Have you all decided on your second career? I've basically decided on mecha manufacturing as my second career, as it requires very high skills and I think it's very suitable for me. What about you guys?"

Because Tang Wulin and Lin Xingyu, two of the students in Grade 1 Class 0, had chosen their second careers early on, they would discuss their respective second careers on weekdays, especially forging, which in turn inspired the others. In the past three months, the others had also discussed their second careers a lot.

Wang Jinxi said, "I've decided. Just like Wulin, I'll choose forging as my second profession."

Zhang Yangzi followed up by saying, "I'll choose mecha manufacturing too!" He then looked at Xie Xie and said, "Let's compete again to see who learns faster."

Xie Xie rolled his eyes: "You definitely can't beat me."

Gu Yue said, "I might learn mecha repair!" Lin Xingyu looked at Gu Yue and said, "Although it's better for everyone to have different second professions so that they can complement each other when you start building battle armor in the future, I still suggest you choose mecha design or mecha manufacturing.

Mecha design requires soul masters to have high mental power, and the various runes used in mecha manufacturing require soul masters to have strong practical operation capabilities. You are strong in both mental power and control of elements, so these two professions are very suitable for you.

As for mecha repair, this second profession was originally created for spirit masters to skip classes. The production of battle armor requires the participation of spirit masters, or at least as much as possible! Mecha repair is designed to allow spirit masters to participate in this process. The technical content is really not high. As long as the spirit master has a certain understanding, it will be enough. With your talent, it would be a waste to choose this second profession."

Gu Yue was silent for a moment, "Let me take another look!"

After three months of contact, especially facing Wu Changkong's beating together, the strangeness they once felt had completely disappeared, and the six of them got along very harmoniously, like real partners.

What Lin Xingyu never expected was that he and Gu Yue actually communicated the most, because when the two of them faced Wu Zhangkong, he was usually in a group with Gu Yue...

What is this? A friendship forged from being beaten together?
This is also the reason why Lin Xingyu gave Gu Yue advice.

That night, just as Lin Xingyu finished moving his Qi and blood, he heard a knock on the door.

Lin Xingyu went forward to open the door, and unexpectedly found that it was Tang Wulin standing at the door. "What's the matter? Why did you come to see me at night?" "Captain, I have an idea I want to discuss with you." Tang Wulin said hesitantly with some embarrassment.

Lin Xingyu made way, walked into the room and said, "Come in. You came to see me so late at night. What happened?"

Tang Wulin walked into the room and said, "I have an idea. I've noticed that when we enter the Soul Ascension Platform, everything about us will be completely copied to the Living Spirit Platform. I want to use metal to make a set of inner armor for everyone. This will increase everyone's chances of passing the assessment. What do you think, Captain? If it's possible, I'd like to invite you to join us in the creation."

Lin Xingyu raised his eyebrows and immediately remembered this incident. Tang Wulin made a set of inner armor for each of them during the final exam.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xingyu said, "Your idea is good, but there are a few problems here. First, do you think Teacher Wu can tell at a glance whether we are wearing equipment? It's not easy to hide it from Teacher Wu!"

"Secondly, how much use can our hastily crafted inner armor have on the Spirit Ascension Platform? Honestly, if Teacher Wu allows us to wear equipment, then it would be far more practical for the two of us to each buy two soul guides instead of just crafting inner armor. It would be a much greater boost to our individual combat power! It would also be more convenient! And it would save us money!"

"Third, Wulin, you've been at the peak of level 15 for a while now, right? How much time would it take you to forge a few sets of inner armor? If you have that much time, you might as well go back and meditate to see if you can raise your soul power to level 16. That way, you'll be able to use your right dragon claw for longer, and the improvement you'll bring to the team will be greater than the time you'd spend forging a few sets of inner armor!"

After hearing Lin Xingyu's words, Tang Wulin's face flushed. "I'm sorry, Captain, I didn't think that much."

"It's okay. You reminded me too. Tomorrow we'll ask Teacher Wu if we can use soul guides during the final exam. If possible, everyone should equip some. However, judging by the exam content Teacher Wu has set for us, I don't think there's much hope!"

After seeing Tang Wulin off, Lin Xingyu stood alone in the meditation room. Wuhun could change a person's appearance and temperament. As he grew older, Lin Xingyu became more and more majestic and convincing. These were all the effects of Wuhun.

Don't even mention why Tang Wulin came to ask Lin Xingyu. It's not just because he is also a blacksmith, but also because he is the team leader and he has this aura.

Lin Xingyu quietly looked at the armors that filled the meditation room. Perhaps it was because he was meditating here and using his third soul skill, these armors gave Lin Xingyu a feeling of being alive.

The next day, Lin Xingyu and Tang Wulin found Wu Changkong together. As expected, they got the answer from Wu Changkong that they should either disable all equipment or increase the intensity of the final exam.

After hearing about Wu Zhangkong's increased difficulty range, Lin Xingyu and Tang Wulin chose to disable their equipment without even thinking twice.

Tang Wulin had completely given up hope and concentrated on meditation every day.

What Lin Xingyu never expected was that he just casually comforted Tang Wulin, but he actually broke through to level 16 in spirit power the next day.
