Douluo: The Dragon King's Descent of the Gods

Back in the classroom, everyone found their favorite seats, while Wu Changkong and Long Bing stood on the podium, smiling at the students below, exuding friendliness.

"Now that you're all in Class 1, you'll be classmates who spend every day together. To help you get to know each other better, let's start with a brief self-introduction so I can understand your strengths and make it easier for me to teach you later."

Wu Changkong scanned the classroom once, "Let's start with the first student in the first row."

Below the classroom, Xie Xie, sitting in the first seat of the first row, quickly stood up upon hearing this and proudly said:

"My name is Xie Xie, Xie as in thanking someone, and Xie as in encountering someone. My martial soul is the Light Dragon Dagger, my soul power is level 19, I am an agility-type battle soul master, and my goal is to become a god-level mecha pilot."

The astonishing level of nineteen soul power caused a stir. A twelve-year-old is the minimum threshold for a genius to become a Great Soul Master, and Xie Xie at nine years old is only one level away from becoming a Great Soul Master. This cultivation speed is beyond the realm of ordinary geniuses.

Some people exclaimed in surprise, while others scoffed.

After Xie Xie, it was Tang Wulin's turn. He said cheerfully and confidently, "Tang Wulin, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, Soul Power: Level 21, Control-type Battle Soul Master."

The nine-year-old Great Soul Master drew even more gasps, but then an untimely voice rang out from somewhere, "Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul!"

On the podium, Wu Changkong and Long Bing simultaneously wiped the smiles from their faces, their sharp eyes fixed on a certain spot in the classroom, and they said in serious tones:

"In this world, there are no useless martial spirits, only people who are willing to be useless. Before calling someone else useless, think about what kind of person you are. If his martial spirit is useless, then what is your martial spirit if you're in the same class as him?"

Wu Changkong's cold and domineering demeanor immediately silenced all the students.

Seeing this, Long Bing smiled again, and her pleasant voice eased the atmosphere in the classroom, "Classmates, please continue."

The atmosphere returned to normal. Tang Wulin sat down, and then a dozen or so students stood up one after another to introduce themselves, although their soul power was all around level 15 or 16.

In this era, at Donghai Academy, level 15 soul power was the threshold for entering Class 1. Although there were no soul masters below level 15 among the students who introduced themselves, there were also very few soul masters above level 16.

Until someone makes a dazzling appearance.

"Wei Xiaofeng, Martial Soul: Azure Shadow Serpent, Soul Power: Level 22, Agility-type Battle Soul Master."

Wei Xiaofeng proudly raised his head, seemingly enjoying the attention of everyone, but in reality, if he didn't raise his head, he would be making eye contact with the two homeroom teachers on the podium.

That inappropriate remark came from his mouth earlier, and after being intimidated by Wu Changkong's sharp gaze, he still doesn't dare to meet his eyes.

Therefore, he could only suffer through a bittersweet experience, enjoying the shocked gazes of his classmates while enduring the scrutinizing stares of his two homeroom teachers.

Being a level 22 Great Soul Master was Wei Xiaofeng's greatest source of confidence, and also the source of his arrogance in uttering those mocking words even after knowing that Tang Wulin was a level 21 Great Soul Master.

So what if he's a nine-year-old Great Soul Master? With a useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass, even the best talent is wasted. Therefore, among Great Soul Masters, he is the strongest genius in this class.

Although he did not have the innate talent of full soul power, his first soul spirit was the Azure Shadow Serpent, which was the same as his martial soul and perfectly matched him. Therefore, in the early stages, his cultivation speed was soaring, not inferior to those top geniuses.

In his view, the only area where the Federation's top geniuses were better than him was their martial spirit.

His future goal is to successively ascend to the Dragon List of Young Geniuses, the Dragon List of Youth Geniuses, and the Continental Ranking, ultimately becoming a legendary Super Douluo. He's even decided on his title: "Qingying" (Azure Shadow).

If it weren't for his martial spirit holding him back, he would even dare to set his future goals as follows:

Young Supreme (Number 1 on the Young Genius List), Youth Supreme (Number 1 on the Youth Genius List), Overlord of the Wind and Cloud (Top 10 on the Mainland's Popularity List).

As Wei Xiaofeng thought to himself, the self-introductions of the students in Class One were also taking place simultaneously.

Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, who knew him, only had level 19 soul power. The subsequent students had level 15 or 16 soul power, which was far inferior to his.

Therefore, the smile on his face grew even wider.

Hmph, I really am the most talented one!

His smile froze on his face when a clear, sweet voice rang in his ears.

"Xu Xiaoyan, Martial Soul Star Staff, Soul Power Level 27, Control-type Battle Soul Master."

After Xu Xiaoyan finished introducing herself in a graceful manner, she felt the gazes on her and smiled innocently, like a pure white flower, beautiful and dreamlike.

As everyone watched Xu Xiaoyan sit down, still reeling from the dreamlike scene, a clear and ethereal voice transported them to an unreal world.

"Gu Yuena, Elementalist of Martial Soul, Soul Power Level 31, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master."

After Gu Yuena finished her self-introduction, she sat down neatly and looked at Meng Xinghe, who was sitting in the back row by the window.

Turning his gaze away from the window, Meng Xinghe stood up and introduced himself under everyone's watchful eyes:

"Meng Xinghe, Martial Soul Body, Soul Power Level 35, Control-type Battle Soul Master."

After speaking, he calmly and composedly sat down.

An eerie silence fell over the classroom. The students' gazes shifted back and forth between Xu Xiaoyan, Gu Yuena, and Meng Xinghe, wondering if it was a dream and they were still asleep.

Nine-year-olds at levels twenty-seven, thirty-one, and even thirty-five—such high soul power levels! Did they start cultivating from the womb? If not, the gap between me and them is far too vast…

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Wei Xiaofeng slapped the back of the chair, stood up abruptly, and stared intently at Meng Xinghe, who was sitting in the back row by the window.

If someone reached level 35 at the age of nine, how exaggerated would their cultivation level be at twelve? Soul King or Soul Emperor?

No one among the young geniuses in history has ever reached such a level of soul power at the age of nine. Even the legendary Sky-Supporting Douluo, who was ranked number one on the continent's popularity list, did not have such cultivation at the age of nine.

Xie Xie looked at Meng Xinghe, shocked, but immediately accepted the fact.

It's normal for the opponent to have such a high level of cultivation. After all, he was a top genius who could defeat me three years ago. Although I was instantly killed, I only lost by one move, right?

Compared to some arrogant clown, he's not a funny character at all.

"Alright, remember there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."

Wu Changkong's loud voice attracted everyone's attention. He said in a slightly reassuring tone, "People can't always compare themselves to others, because it's impossible for anyone to beat everyone in every aspect. So, what people need to beat is not others, but themselves."

"A person should respect themselves. The fact that you are sitting in the same class makes you the pride of heaven. Don't look down on yourselves because of the excellence of others. Have more confidence and work harder, and you will find that you are stronger today than you were yesterday."
