Douluo Dragon King: The Blue Silver Divine Tree, The Holy Dragon Devours the Heavens

However, this was not a problem for Xu Mengqing; he answered each question at an astonishing speed.

Soon, when one-seventh of the hourglass had run out, Xu Mengqing finished answering the last question and put her pen aside.

The test paper was graded quickly, and the student scored 136 out of 150, easily surpassing the passing grade.

I breathed a slight sigh of relief when I saw that I had passed.

After completing the registration at the association, the receptionist handed Xu Mengqing a badge engraved with her name on a Soul Guide Light.

Xu Mengqing stroked the universal soul guide badge, then learned some rules about the mecha designer assessment, and then left the East China Sea Mecha Pilot Association.

Back at school

Xu Mengqing immediately felt a strong hunger surge up, and without saying a word, she headed straight for the cafeteria.

The cafeteria for the intermediate grade is located in a small three-story building next to the main teaching building. It serves meals for all six grades in the intermediate grade. Grades one and two eat on the first floor.

However, what left Xu Mengqing somewhat speechless was that...

The cafeteria only has tables, no chairs, supposedly so students have to stand to eat, in order to increase their sense of urgency.

Damn, did he learn this from Shrek?!

The cafeteria has three windows, labeled A, B, and C respectively.

Through Xu Mengqing's inquiries, he also learned that Meal C was completely free, Meal B was partially paid, and Meal A was fully paid.

Of course, correspondingly, the ingredients for meal A are the best, followed by meal B, while meal C is just ordinary food.

The sign below Meal C says "steamed buns".

Although he really wanted to eat at Restaurant A, he couldn't afford it. So after getting a few steamed buns from Restaurant C, he went to Restaurant B and got some meat dishes that he had to pay for.

Perhaps due to the enhancement of her physical body, Xu Mengqing's appetite was actually quite large.

After eating and drinking her fill, Xu Mengqing returned to her dormitory.

He found the dormitory empty; not a single person was there. It was already afternoon, and none of his other roommates had arrived yet.

Xu Mengqing was puzzled, so she went to ask the dormitory manager, only to find out that he was the only one living in her dormitory room.

Upon learning this, Xu Mengqing was somewhat pleased, since he possessed the Sacred Dragon Pearl and usually cultivated within it. This also gave him less excuse not to meditate and cultivate in his dormitory.

Back in her dormitory, Xu Mengqing locked the door from the inside. After confirming that no one was around, she had a thought and instantly disappeared from the room.

Inside the Sacred Dragon Ball space, Xu Mengqing's figure appeared on the huge lake shore.

The Holy Dragon Ball space at this moment is completely different from what it was a year ago.

The surrounding area was covered with incredibly lush blue silver grass, the blades of grass shimmering with a soft and warm blue light.

The ring of blue silver grass closest to the lake shore is arranged in the shape of a Tai Chi Bagua diagram, spreading out around the circular lake, where the primordial energy of heaven and earth seems to gather and flow.

The blue silver grass in the space seemed to sense Xu Mengqing's arrival, and it seemed to exude joy, gently swaying its branches and leaves.

Xu Mengqing walked slowly to a huge rock on the lake shore and sat down cross-legged.

He immediately activated the "Heaven-Devouring Spirit-Eating Technique".

As he circulated his cultivation technique, a powerful suction force instantly formed around him, drawing in a massive amount of pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth, which surged into his body. Meanwhile, the surrounding Blue Silver Grass seemed to respond to this call; in an instant, the entire Tai Chi Bagua array was activated, layers of pale blue light shimmering and rippling outwards like waves.

The originally slowly flowing spiritual energy of heaven and earth, under the dual influence of the formation and the cultivation technique, instantly became violent and turbulent, frantically converging towards Xu Mengqing as if it were a tangible substance.

the next day,

In the early morning, as the sunlight shone on Xu Mengqing, she opened her eyes.

After a night of meditation, he felt refreshed and full of energy, and his soul power had successfully broken through to level seventeen.

Exhaling a deep breath, Xu Mengqing's thoughts flashed, and he instantly exited the Sacred Dragon Pearl space. The flow of time inside the Sacred Dragon Pearl was the same as that outside, which was why he dared to cultivate so confidently.

After a quick wash, Xu Mengqing opened the door.

Just as she stepped outside, she encountered Tang Wulin, who was also walking out of the room opposite.

Xu Mengqing spoke first, laughing, "Wu Lin, how's it going? Did you get the Level 1 Blacksmith badge too?"

Tang Wulin nodded: "Yeah, I got it! How's it going?"

"I got it too."

After breakfast, the two arrived at the opening ceremony.

The ceremony was held in the square of Donghai Academy, where students from the senior and intermediate departments only gather together at this time of year.

Xu Mengqing and Tang Wulin squeezed into the freshman formation. Being quite tall for their age, they were positioned towards the back, giving them a good view of all the students in the academy.

In the intermediate section, each grade has about a hundred students, totaling around seven or eight hundred across the six grades. The senior section has far fewer students, less than two hundred in total. It's said to be divided into three grades. This illustrates just how difficult it is to advance from the intermediate to the senior section—the chance is only about twenty percent.

"Good morning, students. Today is the annual opening ceremony. Now, please welcome Dean Yu to give a speech."

The dean of Donghai Academy was an elderly man who looked to be in his sixties. He was of medium build and unremarkable, with gray hair and glasses, and had a scholarly appearance.

"Hello, students. Every year at this time, I feel a mix of emotions. A group of students from the intermediate and advanced levels graduate and leave the college. At the same time, some students move up from the intermediate level to the advanced level, and new students join us."

"In my view, the academy is like the Federation's lifeblood, constantly supplying it with qualified talent. In the future, I hope you will also be able to..."

The dean was an excellent orator, speaking without a script, and delivered a passionate and engaging speech for a full fifteen minutes before gradually concluding. Following the dean's speech came the most important part of the opening ceremony: class assignments.

Students who did not need to participate in class assignments left first, and the new students of the senior department went to the senior department campus to be assigned to classes. Only the first-year students of the intermediate department remained in place.

"Now we will proceed with the class assignments. As everyone knows, at Donghai Academy, the smaller the class number, the more outstanding the students. However, this is not absolute. We hope that the lower-ranked classes can also catch up through hard work. This year, there are a total of 108 new students, divided into five classes. Now, those whose names I call, please step forward and enter Class One..."

After listening to Long Hengxu's words, Tang Wulin realized what he meant by punishing Xie Xie, Yun Xiao, and Zhou Changxi by sending them to Class 5 yesterday.

There are five classes in total. The higher the class, the higher the quality of the students. Undoubtedly, Class 5 is the worst class.

Xu Mengqing didn't seem to care too much about it.

"Xu Mengqing, Tang Wulin, Zhou Changxi, Xie Xie, Yun Xiao..."

Class 5 had only twenty students, the fewest among the five classes. Most of the students assigned to Class 5 were listless and lacked energy.

"Each class teacher will take your students back to their classrooms to familiarize them with the academy."

Five teachers came out, and one of them walked towards Class 5.
