Douluo: Dream Overlord

"Winning the Continental Martial Soul Tournament?!"

Yu Feng's voice sharpened: "What are you talking about! You actually want to win the championship!"

"This is really difficult!"

Dugu Yan chimed in, "So many academies and forces participate in the annual tournament, but over the years, the championship has only gone to the Spirit Hall. They are just too powerful."

The Wang brothers and Ye Lingling remained silent, but their gazes toward Shi Guang were somewhat strange, probably because they felt he was indulging in unrealistic fantasies.

"To win the Continental Martial Soul Tournament, huh...?"

Yu Tianheng's expression was serious. Looking at his indifferent expression that seemed to accept the joke, he said earnestly, "If that's what you think, then I'll tell you seriously."

Sure! From now on, we must train and fight with the mindset of winning the championship!

Everyone, including me, must now spend twice as much time on training! Anyone who has objections, get out of the group!

Anyone else have a question?

Upon hearing this, Yu Feng's face showed a bitter expression, and he looked at Shi Guang with resentment.

Dugu Yan looked at Yu Tianheng with a resentful expression; it seemed she wouldn't be able to go shopping anytime soon.

Upon hearing this, the Wang brothers and Ye Lingling looked at Shi Guang with a hint of resentment.

Please! Everyone was already training so hard just to stay on the team! How did you manage to stir up the captain's desire to get stronger?!

Give us back the wonderful atmosphere we once had!

That despicable bastard!

It's all the fault of that wretched time.

Everyone thought of it at the same time.

With a face as thick as a god, Shi Guang looked at Yu Tianheng and said with a smile, "It's great that you can reach a consensus with me. I look forward to the moment we win the championship."

As he spoke, he extended his hand.

"Me too." Yu Tianheng smiled, the most he had smiled in a long time.

Their hands were clasped tightly together.

By the time the team emerged from the arena, it was nearly noon.

After encouraging the others, Yu Tianheng returned to the high-pressure area to continue his cultivation.

Everyone glared resentfully at Shi Guang, and then proceeded to their respective simulated areas in an orderly fashion.

Shi Guang glanced at the blazing sun and decided to collect this month's supplies first.

Upon arriving at the teaching building, Shi Guang found the resource management department responsible for recording and managing expenditures.

Most of the food supplies, such as rice, oil, salt, and other daily necessities, are piled up here, and a few teachers work in this area.

"Hello, I'm Shiguang, the new member of the first team that defeated Oslo yesterday."

Time came to a teacher and said.

"Time..."

The teacher looked Shi Guang up and down and suddenly said, "I know you. You gave that guy Oslo a good beating. I heard he hasn't recovered yet."

"It's all about the victor taking all."

Time said calmly.

"Yes, that's the rule in the Soul Master world. Besides, I don't like that guy Osro either. He always has a sour face when he's dealing with teachers."

The teacher wrote Shiguang's name in the notebook with emotion and gave him all the resources for the month.

After storing the clothes and gold coins into his soul tool, Shi Guang looked at the emerald green grass in his hand with some curiosity.

"Your team leader told you about the effects of the Soul Gathering Grass, right? You only need to use one plant each time."

After distributing the supplies, the teacher said without looking up, "Each Soul Gathering Grass is effective for the duration of one incense stick's time. It is more effective when used in areas with abundant soul power."

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

After putting away the Soul-Gathering Grass, Shi Guang bowed to his teacher and then left.

"This kid is quite polite."

The teacher glanced at him again before continuing to work: "He's definitely much better than that Oslo."

After leaving the resource management department, Shi Guang headed to the floor where the practical training class was located.

As we approached the training classroom on the third floor, time knocked on the door.

"Come in, the door's unlocked."

An aged voice came from behind.

Time entered the classroom and found it empty, with only a table and an old man sitting behind it, dozing off with his head propped up.

"Little one, would you like to sign up for the practical training course?"

The old man, dressed in a gray cloth robe, looked at Shi Guang kindly and asked.

"Senior, I am Shiguang, the newly promoted member of the first team who defeated Osro and took his place."

Shi Guang bowed respectfully to the old man and said, "According to the team's benefits, I'm here to sign up for the practical training course."

"Oh! You're that kid!"

Upon hearing this, the old man, who had been somewhat sleepy, woke up and looked at Shi Guang with some surprise, saying, "Tell me, how did you defeat that kid Osro?"

Even if you have a rare spiritual martial soul, it's not very effective in the early stages.

"As a member of the team for several semesters, Oslo should be able to easily defeat you, given his spirit ring configuration and combat experience."

"I would like to inform you, senior, that my martial soul is different from other spiritual martial souls; it is the illusion-type martial soul, Remnant Dream."

Time said, "I can create a false impression in him, and then take the opportunity to defeat him."

He didn't talk about his soul skill abilities; he wouldn't tell anyone except his parents, because soul skills are the foundation of a soul master's existence.

Once the enemy obtains information about the Time Soul Skill, they will understand and be aware of its effects, range, and soul power consumption.

At that time, time was like a fish on a chopping board, leaving us no choice but to let it cut us apart.

"So that's how it is. It's actually a rare illusion-type martial soul." The old man shook his head and said, "That kid Oslo has really bitten off more than he can chew!"

Alright! Which course would you like to enroll in? According to the benefits of the Tian Dou Royal Team's first squad, you will receive practical training guidance once a month.

The instruction period is three days, and you are free to choose your class times. Alright! Choose the courses you want to practice; you can only choose one martial art and one weapon!

The old man handed a piece of paper to Time, who took it and saw that it listed the types and names of the courses.

"Swords, spears, clubs, whips, hammers, axes, fists, fingers, palms, legs, feet, elbows, mouths..."

Looking at this content, Shi Nian exclaimed, "They truly have a complete range of martial arts techniques and a vast array of weapons!"

"That's right! As the best academy in the Heaven Dou Empire, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has countless precious martial arts techniques and a variety of high-level talents who have mastered them!"

The old man said proudly.

"Can I switch my weapon to another martial art?"

Time asked.

"Sure, but I don't mind if you do it this way."

The old man said, "A person's soul power has a limit. When the soul power is exhausted, one needs to fight with one's body. Weapons are the second martial soul for a soul master."

Of course, for you, that's your third martial soul.

Listening to the old man's joke, Shi Guang thought for a moment and said, "Then can I pay for it myself to learn other martial arts or weapons?"

"Sure, but that would cost five gold coins each time."

The old man said, "I suggest you choose one martial art and one weapon, that will be enough. As the saying goes, learning is not about being familiar with everything, but about being proficient in it. You're trying to eat too much and not be able to digest it properly."

"Thank you for your kindness, senior!"

Shi Guang said without hesitation, "However, I choose to use the team's welfare to learn boxing, and I've decided to learn staff techniques as a weapon."

In addition, I've decided to pay for my own legwork training.

"Are you sure? Don't blame me for not warning you, learning one martial art takes a lot of your mental energy, let alone two plus a weapon."

"I'm sure, please grant my request, senior."

Time said steadfastly.

"Well... okay."

The old man sighed and extended his hand to the other party: "It takes about a week to learn a basic martial art or weapon. Transfer thirty gold coins to me first."

"Give me your dorm room number, and I'll contact you once I find a suitable teacher."

"Okay, thank you, senior!"

After paying the fee, Shi Guang respectfully tidied up and left the classroom, closing the door behind him.

"Sigh, there are always geniuses who think they're amazing, that they can handle even a few martial arts techniques."

The old man put the money bag in the drawer, shook his head, and continued to doze off.
