Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 86 The Grand Competition of Tianhai

Gu You didn't care about that and quietly slipped out to go to the classroom.

"Gu Yue?" Gu You looked towards the end of the corridor and saw Gu Yue, who was wearing a school uniform and had no expression on her face.

Gu Yue has delicate features, but she is not particularly beautiful, at least not at all on the level of Xu Xiaoyan. However, she has a special temperament that subtly influences those around her.

"Hmm." Gu Yue gave a soft "hmm." She no longer trusted any humans after the Gu You incident.

Moreover, Gu Yue has been acting strangely ever since. The possessiveness she used to have for Tang Wulin has gradually disappeared. Xie Xie even joked, "Women are really something. Once they have someone better, they forget about the one they used to have..."

They arrived at the classroom together. The journey might have taken some time, but Xu Xiaoyan arrived even faster than Gu You, and she was already chatting with Tang Wulin and the others. Teacher Wu was probably still dealing with some things and hadn't arrived yet.

It was him… The moment Xu Xiaoyan saw Gu You, her face turned deathly pale.

Gu You didn't say much about it, but simply returned to his seat.

"Gu You is a very nice person. Your brother really angered him that day. I didn't know why he was so angry at the time, but what he did was very important to him." Beautiful girls always have a strong affinity, and Xie Xie was no exception.

"The teacher is here," Tang Wulin suddenly said.

Everyone sat down. None of the students from Class Zero attended the opening ceremony for the new semester. After all, it was better to hear some useful knowledge than to talk about unnecessary things. Besides, it was the same few sentences every year. Some of the older students could even recite them on the spot and adapt them into new new semester speeches.

Wu Changkong stepped onto the stage and faced the audience, saying, "Today, I will conduct a comprehensive test for you."

"As for this newcomer, you should all know by now. He only has one month. If he doesn't meet my requirements, he'll still leave you. Okay! I won't say anything more. Now..."

Xu Xiaoyan chewed slightly, biting her lip. She had to pass! She... she had managed to convince others once, hadn't she?

The subsequent series of inspections even moved Wu Changkong's composure.

Excluding Xu Xiaoyan's level 17 soul power, the highest is Gu You.

He was also surprised to find that he couldn't tell how much spiritual power Gu You had. This was a terrifying situation. Either the boy in front of him had a higher spiritual level than him, or he had a special way of concealing it. In any case, either way, it was good.

When Xu Xiaoyan mentioned her soul power, Tang Wulin's lips twitched slightly.

I thought he was useless enough, but I didn't expect there to be someone even more talented than him here.

There was also a strength test, and Gu You punched the machine so hard it started smoking, so no one else needed to be tested.

After a busy morning, the tests were basically completed. Gu You was indeed abnormal, overloading several machines, which made Wu Changkong afraid to test him anymore. However, the data for the others were also released, and Gu Yue and Tang Wulin were getting closer and closer to becoming little "monsters".

Afterwards, the six of them fought with him again. Xu Xiaoyan's performance far exceeded Wu Changkong's expectations, and he also acknowledged her abilities.

After it ended, Xu Xiaoyan looked at Gu You, who was standing in a daze, and asked, "Why didn't he fight with Teacher Wu?"

Xie Xie gave him a meaningful look. "He might be a little special. All you need to know is that he's the most powerful among us. Recognizing him as your elder brother will definitely be a good deal."

Xu Xiaoyan nodded blankly and looked at Gu You. From being scared and shy at the beginning, she had already become less shy after only five or six hours. This was already quite good. She was not the taciturn type, so there was nothing wrong with her.

Long Hengxu had been watching the game closely. He slowly walked over to Wu Changkong and said, "Now, I have even more confidence in your class. I also believe that I have the ability to persuade the dean to increase the investment in you. Teacher Wu, please feel free to tell me what you need."

Wu Changkong looked at him and said, "I think the children's diet needs to be further improved. Nutrition is very important at this stage. Martial spirit is part of the body and needs more nourishment."

Long Hengxu was startled, as if he had thought of something terrible. He smiled bitterly and said, "If they all had normal appetites, of course there would be no problem. But Gu You can eat too much. He alone could eat the entire academy's Class A meals out of house and home! And Tang Wulin's appetite is also huge."

Wu Changkong didn't care about any of that. "Donghai City is rich in all kinds of seafood, including many nourishing delicacies. Give them to the children; their growth requires a solid energy foundation."

Long Hengxu nodded slightly, gritting his teeth, "I'll appeal to the school. However, Teacher Wu, you know that the existence of your Class Zero puts a lot of pressure on even the dean. The resources you've consumed are greater than imagined. The Spirit Ascension Platform alone has always been incredibly expensive. Fortunately, you succeeded, and everyone advanced to the Thousand-Year Soul Ring stage. But what the academy needs more is glory, do you understand? So, the academy might send you to participate in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition. Be prepared. Even if you don't achieve great results, at least make a splash and bring some glory to the academy. The current goal for you is either the Outstanding Newcomer Award or the Outstanding Newcomer Group Award."

"The Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament?" Wu Changkong's eyes flashed, and he nodded without hesitation. "Send me the requirements for the tournament."

……

It's been an unknown number of days since the leap into the Year Shadow. During these days, everyone practiced combat with Wu Changkong and defeated him in his three-ring state. Gu You, however, has been absent for a long time, which was also approved by Wu Changkong. Gu You was practicing forging. The Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition not only includes Soul Master competitions but also forging competitions. With Gu You's current forging skills, winning first place is no problem at all. But as the saying goes, one cannot be arrogant. Even a genius must practice every day. Gu You has already fully mastered the main high-grade spirit forging of 108 ores in his modern spirit forging. He is now thinking about his one-word battle armor and has been searching for suitable ores and sensing their auras these past few days.

In the morning, Gu You's dormitory door was pushed open hastily, and Wu Changkong walked in. Looking at the messy dormitory, he couldn't help but frown. The air was filled with an unpleasant metallic smell. "We're leaving tomorrow for Tianhai City. Get ready."

Gu You straightened his waist. This Tianhai City was not the small Tianhai City he knew before. As the largest city on the East Coast, it was a veritable first-tier metropolis with a prosperous economy. It was said that its peak economic output was comparable to that of the ancient Tiandou Empire.

The Sun and Moon Federation has many cities with the same name...
