Douluo Dragon King: Xie Xie, Starting from Giving Up to Become Stronger

"classmate!"

"classmate!"

Tang Wulin called out from behind Xie Xie.

"Wait for me, classmate!"

At this moment, Xie Xie stopped in his tracks.

He turned around and faced Tang Wulin.

"What are you doing? Ouch!" Xie Xie uttered the sound he had practiced for two and a half years.

Tang Wulin paused for a moment, then said with a firm gaze, "Classmate, may I spar with you?"

"No, I won't fight," Xie Xie replied crisply.

"I'm too lazy to fight. I came to school to slack off, not to be the king of exams, much less to be the protagonist's stepping stone."

He still remembers the original story!

It was after he and Tang Wulin had a fight in the park that Tang Buddha began to possess Tang Wulin.

He didn't want to fight not because he was afraid of Tang Buddha, but because he didn't want to become a stepping stone for the protagonist for no reason.

"Goodbye forever!"

After saying that, a dark red soul ring appeared behind Xie Xie. He snapped his fingers, and the next second, he disappeared from the spot.

"Hey, classmate!"

Tang Wulin immediately lunged forward.

But they came up empty-handed.

"Strange, how did he disappear from the spot..."

Tang Wulin suddenly felt a little irritable.

This restlessness brought him a burning sensation, as if there was another voice deep within his mind.

The voice seemed about to burst forth, yet it stopped there.

"Looks like I need to meditate more. I can't rush my cultivation." Tang Wulin shook his head and headed towards his dormitory.

......

Inside the teachers' office.

Because today is registration day, many teachers went to select suitable students, leaving only Wu Changkong in the office to enjoy tea and read the newspaper.

Wu Changkong's eyes were cold and arrogant, seemingly devoid of any emotion, only coldness remained.

But those who know him well will know that Wu Changkong's way of keeping people out is a form of self-protection.

At this moment, Wu Changkong's gaze sharpened, and he said towards the void:

"Come out, I can sense you."

The void suddenly rippled, and then Xie Xie's figure emerged from it.

"Teacher Wu, I'm here to report for duty!" Xie Xie said with a smile.

"So it was you." Wu Changkong slowly put down his teacup.

Xie Xie nodded and said, "Teacher Wu, now that you know I'm here, I'll head over to my new dorm first."

"No rush," Wu Changkong said calmly. "Come with me to the playground."

"What...?" Xie Xie asked helplessly.

"I'm going to test whether you've made any progress during this time." Wu Changkong stood up from his office chair, his tall figure exuding an aloof aura.

"No, why do you all want to fight me?" Xie Xie asked, puzzled.

Although he knew that the era of Dragon King Legend was all about competitions, he never imagined it could be this ruthless.

He's already getting into a fight right after the start of the semester; that's outrageous.

Just as the two were talking, a knock sounded behind Xie Xie.

"I'd like to study here, is that alright, teacher?"

The two looked in the direction of the sound.

It was a girl wearing white trousers and a white top.

She looked to be about the same age as Xie Xie, and wasn't particularly beautiful; she could only be described as pretty.

With black hair and black eyes, her figure was above average for her age, very well-proportioned, and her big eyes were bright and piercing.

There seems to be a special rhythm in his every move, as well as a strange aura.

Wu Changkong's gaze lingered on the girl for a moment before he said, "This is not the registration area."

"You're a teacher, can't I enroll with you?" The girl smiled.

"Here?" Wu Changkong sneered. "If you want to register here, you have to prove yourself."

"I can take the exam." The girl's smile widened.

Wu Changkong asked, "What's your name?"

The girl said, "Gu Yue."

Wu Changkong nodded. "Okay, I'll give you a chance."

Wu Changkong pushed Xie Xie in front of Gu Yue with one hand.

"If you can withstand even one move from him, you can enroll."

"Him?" Gu Yue glanced at Xie Xie with disdain.

Xie Xie's body trembled.

Is this the legendary contemptuous eye?

Yes, yes, that's the look in my eyes! It feels so good to see that!

"Chief Gu, oh no, Gu Yue, hello, your eyes are so beautiful!" Xie Xie said bluntly.

Gu Yue snorted, "Smooth talker!"

Wu Changkong glanced at Gu Yue and said, "To despise one's opponent is the most unwise thing to do."

Gu Yue said, "I didn't look down on him!"

Although Gu Yue said that, the disdain in his eyes seemed to say that this guy was not worth my contempt.

Why does the more someone looks down on another person, the more lewd their gaze becomes?

Wu Changkong didn't say anything more and led the two of them to the playground.

......

There weren't many people on the playground at this time; only a few people were running around.

Tang Wulin was passing by the playground at that moment.

He was going to the convenience store to buy some daily necessities.

As he walked to the edge of the playground, he suddenly felt a connection between his bloodline and martial spirit.

"Could it be Xie Xie?"

Tang Wulin's gaze followed the connection in his bloodline to the playground.

In the center of the playground, there were three people: one looked like a teacher, one was a sharp-eyed girl, and the other was Xie Xie, whom he knew.

At this moment, Xie Xie and Gu Yue took a few steps back, about thirty meters apart.

Wu Changkong stood in the middle and nodded.

"start!"

With a simple and direct remark from Wu Changkong, Gu Yue released her martial soul, and a yellow soul ring bloomed beneath her feet.

Gu Yue looked at Xie Xie in front of her, puzzled, and asked, "Aren't you planning to release your martial spirit?"

Xie Xie crossed his arms and said, "Since ancient times, the right side wins in a contest; whoever strikes first loses."

"Hmph, superstition!"

A circle of cyan light radiated outwards from Gu Yue's body.

Gu Yue rose into the air and flew swiftly toward Xie Xie.

The moment Gu Yue approached Xie Xie, the azure light surrounding her body suddenly turned red, and fist-sized fireballs appeared in front of Xie Xie.

"A fire-breathing dragon, right?"

A dark red spirit ring appeared behind Xie Xie.

With a snap of his fingers, all the fireballs on Gu Yue's body vanished instantly.

A look of surprise flashed in Gu Yue's eyes.

She originally intended to end the fight with one blow, but she didn't expect Xie Xie to be able to withstand this attack.

She had used two skills so far, but Xie Xie had countered them with a single soul skill.

However, that alone was not enough to surprise her. What surprised her was that she sensed the aura of spatial elements the moment Xie Xie released his soul skill!

Such skillful use of spatial elements is something that even a Soul Douluo or even a Title Douluo would find difficult to achieve if their martial soul wasn't related to space!
