Douluo Dragon King: I'm creating a golden age behind the scenes!
Chapter 5 One Year Later
Six years later, Donghai Academy
Donghai Academy is a large academy that possesses both intermediate and advanced teaching qualifications. Don't mistakenly believe that intermediate and advanced levels are only slightly different; intermediate education is compulsory and tuition-free.
Donghai Academy is a Soul Master Academy. The intermediate academy occupies two-thirds of the area, but its essence lies in the advanced academy, which occupies one-third of the area.
Anyone who is a Soul Master and has a recommendation letter from a junior academy in Donghai City and its surrounding towns can come here to enter the intermediate academy and receive Soul Master education.
The intermediate academy has a three-year program, and by the time students graduate from the third year, no more than one-tenth are actually able to enter the advanced soul master academy.
Advanced colleges are no longer compulsory education; admission is only possible through a series of rigorous examinations, and those who can get into advanced colleges are the true elites.
Donghai College
Looking at the sign in front of him, Liu Tianran recalled that when he chose a college a month ago, he still chose to come to Donghai College for a while.
Wu Changkong has been teaching here for several years, and it seems that the story of the Dragon King Legend is about to begin.
Come to Donghai Academy now and see if you can find some good materials and make it easier to collect energy.
Liu Tianran is currently a first-year student in the senior section.
His soul power has reached level thirty-eight. As a healing-type soul master, this cultivation speed can be described as genius. This is also the result of Liu Tianran's deliberate control.
To create the impression that he is a genius, but not particularly flashy.
The first soul spirit is the thousand-year-old soul spirit "Light Feather Pegasus", which brings Liu Tianran three soul skills: "Healing Light", "Holy Light Purification", and "Holy Light Protection".
During the fusion, Liu Tianran specially enhanced the Light Feather Pegasus and the attributes of his martial soul, making his healing ability no less than that of a Soul King.
As for its age limit, although Liu Tianran could use his sea of consciousness space to directly increase the age limit of his soul, doing so would definitely attract the attention of others.
Therefore, in order to legitimately increase his soul's age in the future and to access higher-quality geniuses to provide materials for his clones, Liu Tianran has joined the Spirit Pagoda.
Furthermore, due to his outstanding talent, he has become a key figure in the cultivation of the East Sea Spirit Pagoda.
At the entrance to the academy, a magnificent gatehouse built of massive stones stands tall and imposing.
However, they simply study for a longer period of time. Donghai Academy is the only large academy in Donghai City, with intermediate and advanced levels.
Intermediate colleges are part of compulsory education, with no tuition fees and no entry requirements, similar to junior high school in my previous life; advanced colleges require a series of examinations for admission, similar to high school in my previous life, only with a longer study period.
As you enter the college, you are surrounded by lush greenery, as if enveloped in verdant green. A wide avenue stretches out to the left and right, and directly ahead, an ancient bluestone path comes into view.
Liu Tianran went to the academic affairs office and used his previous intermediate-level graduation certificate and recommendation letter to successfully complete the procedures for further education.
I picked up two sets of first-year school uniforms and a dormitory key from the academic affairs office.
He was naturally assigned to Class 1, the best class.
Liu Tianran walked around the teaching building and came to the dormitory building at the back.
The dormitory building was the same height as the teaching building, with twelve floors in total. His dormitory was room 213 on the second floor. In the few days since he registered for school, the corridors have been noisy with people coming and going.
Liu Tianran followed the crowd to dormitory 213, only to find that three people were already inside; he was the last to arrive. Pushing open the door, a standard four-person dormitory came into view.
The room contained two bunk beds, two rectangular tables and four matching chairs, and two cabinets against the wall. Although the space was not large, it appeared exceptionally tidy.
When Liu Tianran stepped into the dormitory, he saw three people busy with brooms and rags, almost finishing up. The floor was spotless, the desks were gleaming, the two lower bunks were already occupied, and the luggage was neatly arranged.
"Hello everyone, I think I'm the last one," Liu Tianran greeted with a smile.
"You're here, classmate. We've already cleaned the beds and agreed that each of us will take turns cleaning for a day," a busy person replied.
No fighting, that's a good start.
"One person per day? Sure, I have no objection." "My name is Liu Tianran, what about you?" Liu Tianran said as he walked towards the last empty bed.
Seeing that the bed had been cleaned and tidy, he put the items he had received from the academic affairs office and his luggage from his storage soul tool on the bed.
Wu Lang, who was carrying a trash bag and about to leave, laughed heartily upon hearing the sound, raised his chin, and said, "My name is Wu Lang. The one on the left is Fu Hongtao, and the one on the right is Zhang Yong. Welcome! We'll be roommates from now on!"
Wu Lang exuded a cheerful and outgoing vibe. He was tall and imposing. Although everyone else was around fifteen or sixteen years old, he looked like he was twenty-five or twenty-six, with a stubble of beard growing on his chin.
Liu Tianran clicked his tongue in surprise. Even if soul power could promote development, this effect was too exaggerated. Was there any need to rush to grow up? Compared to Wu Lang's striking appearance, Fu Hongtao and Zhang Yong seemed unremarkable.
The two were of average height and had no special features; they would be difficult to spot in a crowd.
Liu Tianran quickly made her bed, glanced at her watch, and realized it was lunchtime. She turned to her roommate and warmly invited, "I'm about to go eat. I'll check out the cafeteria food. Want to come along?"
The three nodded in agreement, as it was indeed lunchtime.
"Let's go together then!" Wu Lang said with a smile, his face beaming with enthusiasm. The four of them walked out of the dormitory together and headed towards the cafeteria side by side.
They soon arrived at the restaurant for the senior section.
It was a rather large three-story building next to the main teaching building. The aroma of food wafting from the first floor first filled everyone's nostrils; this was where the first and second-year students ate. Bright lights shone from the windows on the second floor, which was the dining hall for the third and fourth-year students. As for the third floor, it was the exclusive dining area for the fifth and sixth-year students.
The only tables in the Donghai College cafeteria are said to be to enhance the sense of urgency.
Liu Tianran frowned slightly: "This rule, could it have been learned from Shrek Academy? Besides, they've abandoned this system now."
There are three food windows in the canteen, serving meals according to tiers. Meal C is free and consists of ordinary food; Meal B is half price and uses slightly better ingredients; Meal A is full price and uses the best ingredients, mostly soul beast meat. A serving of Meal A costs one thousand Federal Credits, which is quite expensive.
Liu Tianran walked towards the window of Restaurant A, and Wu Lang followed him directly to the window. Fu Hongtao and Zhang Yong exchanged a glance and also followed to the window of Restaurant A.
The ingredients used in Donghai Academy's Class A meals are extremely exquisite, including meat from many artificially farmed century-old spirit beasts, as well as sea spirit beasts freshly caught from the sea. Thanks to Donghai City's coastal location, the area is rich in marine resources. The chefs possess superb culinary skills and meticulous preparation techniques, resulting in naturally delicious dishes.
The four of them stood in the cafeteria, eating and complaining about the strange rule of eating standing up at Donghai Academy. They also shared their experiences and observations, and soon they had a basic understanding of each other.
Wu Lang and Liu Tianran are locals from Donghai City, while Fu Hongtao and Zhang Yong come from surrounding towns.
No wonder Wu Lang and Liu Tianran chose the first set meal without hesitation when ordering, while Fu Hongtao and Zhang Yong hesitated for a moment before following suit.
The atmosphere among the group grew increasingly lively.
Liu Tianran finished one serving of meal A in a flash, then went to get two more.
Liu Tianran usually eats a normal amount of food and doesn't expect to get too much energy from his diet. Even so, the amount he eats in one meal is equivalent to the amount of food for two people.
As Liu Tianran returned to the table with two meals of Class A, Zhang Yong, who was usually taciturn, suddenly looked engrossed and slowly spoke.
Zhang Yong's eyes lit up, his face beaming with barely concealed excitement, and his voice rose involuntarily: "I've heard that there are a lot of beauties among the female students at our Donghai Academy! Ouyang Zixin, the number one beauty in the intermediate division, I caught a glimpse of her the other day, and wow, she was absolutely gorgeous!"
Liu Tianran silently thought to himself, "Goodness, this guy looks honest, but I didn't expect him to be so secretly flirtatious. You really wouldn't know it if he didn't say anything." The topic instantly went off track, but the four of them became even closer, chatting and laughing, creating a warm atmosphere.
Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Liu Tianran picked up a glass of juice and said with a smile, "I wish everyone a bright future!" The three of them responded.
After dinner, the four of them couldn't think of anything else to do at Donghai College, so they decided to go back to their dorm together.
Lying in bed at night, Liu Tianran thought that Tang Wulin should have just arrived in Donghai City this year, and the plot was about to begin. So, how should he treat Tang Wulin?
Liu Tianran himself couldn't say he disliked Tang Wulin, the protagonist; on the contrary, he even felt a little sorry for him.
This son of the God-King, the so-called "protagonist," had his entire life merely a puppet show meticulously orchestrated by his God-King "father."
From birth, he was planted with a time bomb by his "father," and his entire life was chased and coerced by the countdown of this "bomb," putting him in life-or-death situations countless times, all just to survive.
Throughout his life, he experienced the loss of his parents, the betrayal of his lover, and the departure of his friends, and shouldered responsibilities imposed upon him by others.
But just when he thought fate had finally taken pity on him and was willing to give him a happy family, that "father" showed him through his actions.
His life was nothing more than a pre-arranged farce.
He was merely a tool to catalyze and tame the new "Dragon God," a puppet with a significant role in the "Ten Thousand Year Plan."
The stripping of the Golden Dragon King's divine core and the birth of the new "Dragon God" turned his blood and tears from each time he risked his life to break the seal into a joke.
Perhaps the happiest time of his life was when he was a carefree boy in Aolai City, free from the heavy burdens of life, and able to spend time with his real parents.
The only thing that Liu Tianran found particularly offensive was that his political stance was not firm enough. In his youth, he had declared that he hoped to become a federal soldier to defend the country, but when his motherland was at war with an enemy country, he went to help the enemy country fight against his motherland. This kind of traitorous behavior was really unacceptable.
However, Tang Wulin's values are still relatively...
[Forget it, those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish. As long as he doesn't hinder my development, who cares?]
Besides, killing him wouldn't be easy; getting rid of that "Old Tang" thing on him wouldn't be easy.
I am not yet strong; when I am strong, things will change.
From now on, let him and his clones attract the attention of the three continents in public, while I'll quietly develop my strength.
