Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 78 The Library, the Senior's Greed (Combined Chapter)

The knockout stage is divided into one match in the morning and one in the afternoon.

The competition lasted three days, until a winner was determined.

The first day's matches were not particularly exciting, as the undefeated teams would not meet in the first two rounds.

So when the bell rang for the first class in the afternoon, after winning two matches without fighting, Su Wen slipped away to the library. Over the years, he had almost read through all the books in the Sea God Pavilion about soul beasts and beast tamers.

There were also many gains.

For example, the attributes of various soul beasts, some rarer soul beasts that have appeared in the Douluo plane, and even the records mention that some martial souls similar to "beast taming" can consciously control a soul beast—it takes fifty years to control a soul beast, but the limitation is that the strength must be less than two-thirds of one's own. There are evil soul masters similar to the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, but their beast taming is only to imprison the soul.

There are all sorts of beast-taming martial souls, but very few are truly similar to his.

The choice of the fourth soul beast is also a dilemma.

He prefers to choose between a flying type and a healing/support type.

After all, his weakness was quite obvious when he fought Zhou Yi before. He didn't have air superiority. Once the opponent could fly, his advantage would be greatly reduced. Xiao Jin had great strength, but it was difficult for him to reach Zhou Yi.

If Zhou Yi hadn't let her guard down from the start, and hadn't become enraged at the end, forcing Su Wen to use her sixth soul skill, triggering the skill's aftercast delay and rapidly depleting her mana bar, the Ice Emperor would have seized the opportunity to strike and, with the help of a hurricane attack, defeat Zhou Yi.

Otherwise, if Zhou Yi had run away from the start, he would never have been able to catch up.

Of course, in the Star Dou Great Forest, hurricanes can also gain air superiority, since the endless towering ancient trees are their battlefield. But near the empty teaching building, it's a bit awkward.

There weren't many people in the library at the moment.

Since it's during class time, very few students dare to skip class and wander around here.

"Xiao Wen, you're here."

The librarian was a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a smart teacher's uniform, wearing a monocle, and holding a fountain pen in his hand, quickly writing something on a piece of paper. When he saw that it was Su Wen, he looked up and smiled and said.

"Senior Brother Zhang." Su Wen nodded politely.

Zhang Bailing, an outer court teacher, is a level 73 Soul Saint. His martial soul is said to be the fountain pen in his hand. Five years ago, when he entered the Sea God Pavilion, he happened to be an inner court disciple. Now he teaches in the outer court.

"Shuashua~"

As the pen moved across the white paper, Su Wen's appearance, along with various other information, was recorded in the file.

Su Wen looked on in astonishment.

The innate administrator's sacred body.

In the outside world, allowing a Soul Saint in his thirties to be a librarian would be a waste of talent, but at Shrek Academy... it seems quite normal.

"Alright, go ahead," Zhang Bailing said with a smile.

He quite liked this polite junior brother from the inner courtyard. After all, Su Wen and Ma Xiaotao were both in the inner courtyard, and they, the group of teachers, had watched Su Wen grow up. However, the latter... cough cough, grew up a bit crooked, but she was quite cute when she was a child.

"Hey, have you registered yet?"

Zhang Bailing still looked at the doorway with a gentle expression.

A slightly thin figure walked over, his eyes resolute and determined.

"There are three gold soul coins left. Since this is your first time here, you need to apply for a library card. You can come and go for free from now on. Just come back before graduation to cancel the library card."

Zhang Bailing scribbled away with one hand, speaking in a gentle tone.

"Three gold soul coins?"

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, his expression suddenly becoming conflicted.

He had to sell grilled fish for several days to earn this much money, not to mention his daily expenses. The meager allowance from the three great empires was even less than what the Spirit Hall used to give him... (Spirit Hall Soul Masters receive one gold soul coin per month, and Great Soul Masters receive ten gold soul coins per month).
“That’s right.” Zhang Bailing’s expression remained unchanged, and he waited with a smile.

"But...why is Su Wen exempt from paying?" Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered Su Wen from before and muttered to himself.

"The strong always have privileges," Zhang Bailing said with her smile unchanged.

Does this kid have a grudge against Xiao Wen?
Watching the slender figure quickly pay and hurry into the library, Zhang Bailing's smile slowly faded, and her eyes narrowed slightly...

……

Martial Soul System Meeting.

Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun were both present.

There are considerable disagreements about who should take over after Zhou Yi's departure. After all, this class is currently a hot potato, offering no benefits but causing a lot of trouble. Several teachers from other departments were consulted, but they all declined the offer due to reasons such as heavy workload and lack of energy.

"How about... we merge?"

Du Weilen scratched his head.

"Anyway, there are only thirty-odd people left. It would be too much trouble to occupy a class's quota, and we would have to reassign other teachers."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

"In that case, let's merge."

Yan Shaozhe nodded "helplessly".

With all the foreign language teachers gone, he left only Mu Jin behind.

Smiling at the slightly reserved Mu Jin, she said, "Teacher Mu Jin, you are from the new Class Two, and the new Class Two is currently the most powerful. So you can choose your students first, but no more than three."

"Great!" A hint of joy flashed in Mu Jin's eyes as she picked up a stack of files for the new class and began to carefully flip through them.

Yan Shaozhe didn't urge him, and sat quietly in place waiting.

After a while.

"I want them." Mu Jin took out three documents and handed them to Yan Shaozhe.

"Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan... and Huo Yuhao?" Yan Shaozhe's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

“The Spirit Eye Martial Soul is indeed important, but his first Soul Ring is only ten years old. Even if he has potential in the future, it will probably be quite limited… Teacher Mu Jin, are you sure you want to choose him?”

"I'm sure." Mu Jin hesitated slightly, then nodded resolutely.

Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan have already made a profit. As for Huo Yuhao, his martial soul is truly special. A young man who can gain the favor of Zhou Yi must not be too simple. She is willing to take a gamble, especially with the former two as a safety net.

"it is good!"

Yan Shaozhe laughed.

……

Emerald Swan

[Personality: Gentle, non-aggressive]

[They are rare because they are born with life force, which attracts many soul beasts. However, the situation has improved since the birth of Bi Ji, one of the ten most ferocious beasts...]

Looking at the jade swans described in ancient books.

There are also portraits and various introductions.

Su Wen rested his chin on his hand, hesitating and deep in thought.

The fourth Poké Ball has appeared... black.

This means he can capture any soul beast within the last 100,000 years, as long as the number doesn't reach 100,000.

As I got up and put the book back, my gaze inadvertently fell on the window. In front of the empty French windows, a beautiful woman dressed in light blue was quietly reading a book. The beam of light shone on her skirt, and dust motes floated up, making it possible to vaguely see the details of her face.

Her long, slender legs were pressed together, leaning against the desk. She wore flat shoes, but they couldn't hide her tall figure. The hem of her skirt covered the top of her thighs, revealing the fair skin below... "Senior Sister Luo Chen?"

Su Wen was taken aback.

He remembered that this senior sister was a cultivation fanatic who always scoffed at theory. How come the sun rose in the west today? She actually came to the library to study?
And... why is this senior's face all red?!

She was reading the book with great eagerness when something felt off. Her fair face grew increasingly red as she read, the blush even spreading to her earlobes.

It added a touch of embellishment to her already stunning face.

Fortunately, the library is large, and it's quite deserted now, with hardly anyone around...

Su Wen carefully walked over and stood behind the beauty.

Since it's a library, this senior student couldn't possibly be reading anything private, right?

【Chapter One】

[The methods by which ice-attribute soul beasts obtain ultimate ice.]

As everyone knows, the Ultimate Ice holds a status in the ice attribute that is almost equivalent to that of an emperor. It has a bloodline-like suppression over ordinary ice attribute soul beasts. Currently, there are only five ways to obtain Ultimate Ice.

[Firstly, the continuation of different races. After giving birth, offspring can carry the ice attribute. For example, the offspring of ancient frost dragons and titan giants, the current titan snow dragon race, possesses the ultimate ice attribute. But unfortunately, they have long since become extinct in the course of history, leaving only the branch of titan snow dragons.]

Second, continuation within the same species. For example, when a female wind baboon and a male blood red baboon give birth to offspring, the offspring can inherit the attributes of both, while the female wind baboon may also inherit the abilities of the blood red baboon.

This has been tested on Ice Jade Scorpions; there's a chance that the extreme ice attribute can be transferred to the ordinary scorpion through mating.

Third, the immortal herb...

Fourth, obtain a Soul Bone with the ultimate ice attribute...

Su Wen's lips twitched slightly.

He wasn't mentioned in a single word, yet every word was about him.

Damn, women are terrifying, I need to get out of here.

But the next moment, Ling Luochen turned around abruptly, raising her ice staff in embarrassment and anger, ready to strike. She was furious that someone had taken advantage of her being engrossed in studying knowledge to spy on her!

As the ice staff pressed against Su Wen's chin, the beauty also got a clear look at Su Wen's face. The latter's eyes darted around, and his tone was somewhat awkward: "Senior Sister Luo Chen, I really didn't see the contents of the book. You must be researching the ultimate ice, right? I have something to do... I'll take my leave now?"

"Where...are you going?!"

While secretly relieved, Ling Luochen glared at Su Wen with her beautiful eyes, pressed the latter down to a seat, and suddenly realized that Su Wen's gaze was vaguely on the book cover. His face turned even redder, so she picked up the book and stuffed it into the bookshelf next to her.

Then he sat down next to Su Wen.

Block it in the corner.

"Don't tell anyone about what happened today!" Ling Luochen threatened in a low voice, her beautiful eyes wide.

"Mmm!" Su Wen nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Ling Luochen clenched her fair fists so tightly that faint blue veins could be seen, and her face turned as red as a steampunk girl, looking like a disheveled girl caught watching porn.

"So, what's your opinion?" Ling Luochen suddenly lowered his head and asked in a low voice like a defeated dog.

"What?" Su Wen hadn't even recovered from the huge transformation from the aloof senior to the loser senior when he saw the beautiful senior staring at him fiercely, as if she wanted to grab a piece of his flesh.

"Ahem, I haven't tried it, so I don't know."

Su Wen shook his head.

"That's what I asked!" Ling Luochen said indignantly.

Su Wen: ???
Cornered in the corner of the library, isolated and helpless, Ling Luochen moved closer and closer, pressing half of his body against hers. Su Wen could only endure (crossed out) the torment of wanting to cry but having no tears.

The fragrant breeze was so strong that it completely blocked my view.

Ling Luochen knelt on Su Wen's lap.

"Come on!"

He stamped a red mark on Su Wen's face, pink and tender, just like the color of lipstick, and then after a "warning" (physics), he left the library smugly.

A smile finally appeared on his lips as he reached the door.

Take advantage!

What does it mean to lure the enemy deep into your territory?

"Oh, you succeeded?" Zhang Bailing said with a smile.

"..."

Ling Luochen's smile vanished instantly. He glanced indifferently at Zhang Bailing, snorted coldly, and pushed open the door to leave.

The latter clicked his tongue: "She really is an ice queen, but she only opens her heart to one person. I remember there were people in the inner courtyard who pursued her, but it's a pity that she's already taken."

……

"Change to another one."

In the Sea of ​​Spiritual Dreams, Huo Yuhao, the commander, changed the books.

"The bookshelf on the left, the seventh row and the fifth column from the top."

Huo Yuhao took it out and opened it.

Tianmeng's spiritual power surged, and the book floated from her hands, its pages rustling. After a while, it slowly landed back in Huo Yuhao's hands. Tianmeng shook her head: "It's not what I want..."

"Brother Tianmeng, what exactly are you looking for?" Huo Yuhao asked, looking puzzled.

"The far north."

Tianmeng shook her head.

"I am a million-year-old soul beast. If I sacrifice myself to you, I can obtain a second martial soul for you. I have always planned to make this second martial soul the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion... that is, the Ice Emperor, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts. But unfortunately, the silkworm molt was lost, greatly reducing my chances. So I tried to search for books on mental cultivation and find a way to temporarily trap the Ice Emperor, and then bewitch... cough cough, make her sacrifice herself for you as well."

"What?!" Huo Yuhao stood there dumbfounded.

He knew that what Tianmeng was about to do was very dangerous.

But I never imagined that I would be associated with a ferocious beast of this level.

“Of course, if all else fails, we can settle for a 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion or a Snow Demon, but neither can compare to the Ice Emperor…” Tianmeng shook her head and said.

"I want Hyotei!" Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and said excitedly.

If it were the Snow Demon Martial Soul, or an ordinary Ice Jade Scorpion, he probably would never catch up with Su Wen in this lifetime.

Then the only option is to disregard life and death and take the shortcut!
"Good! That's ambitious!" Tianmeng chuckled.

"Then let's continue. If all else fails, ask Fan Yu for help. The biggest difference between humans and soul beasts is that humans can use tools and also accumulate profound knowledge by passing on knowledge and preserving it in ancient books... No wonder humans have been able to gradually gain the upper hand over so many years of evolution."

As it spoke, it sighed with emotion.

It hadn't felt much before, but today, entering Shrek's library and seeing so much knowledge available for future generations to consult and learn from, it felt its scalp tingle. That's what makes humanity so terrifying.

"it is good!"

Huo Yuhao became full of energy again.

During his most difficult time, Zhou Yi offered him encouragement, affirmation, and help, which was no different from what his deceased mother had done. He had to repay this kindness!
