Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 12 Like Him...

The first period this morning was, as usual, a dry and boring theory class for Soul Masters. However, today's content was actually quite interesting, covering a lot of information about Soul Beasts.

In this era, the number of spirit beasts is extremely rare, so basically very few people have ever seen a real spirit beast, let alone these young students.

So most people listened very attentively, and the class was quite interesting.

Lin Ci was bored, even drowsy. He knew a great deal about soul beasts, things he already knew without even attending the theory class.

Therefore, he couldn't be as interested as others.

Lin Ci suddenly became interested and glanced at Gu Yue at the table next to her.

The pretty young girl was listening attentively to the lesson, her eyes focused, and she didn't seem to be faking it.

How can you even listen to this?

Lin Ci had some doubts. If anyone knew more about soul beasts than him, it was probably Gu Yue.

But in stark contrast to him, others were listening attentively to the lesson.

This is actually quite interesting; the Lord of Soul Beasts is listening to a human teacher talk about Soul Beasts.

I have to say, it's strangely funny.

Perhaps Lin Ci had been staring at her profile for too long, because Gu Yue felt the gaze and turned her head to look over.

The two looked at each other.

Lin Ci wasn't embarrassed; she simply smiled in response.

As a qualified travel guide, you must always maintain enthusiasm for your clients; this level of service is essential.

Gu Yue's eyes seemed calm; he merely glanced at her before turning his head back to continue listening to the lesson.

However, from Lin Ci's perspective, the girl's gaze, which had been focused on the lesson, had begun to wander.

Perhaps it was her imagination, but she didn't want it to be. The more she looked into those eyes, the more familiar they seemed, as if they belonged to someone from ten thousand years ago.

It seems...it seems...

After the first class, the teacher had just left and the students hadn't even gotten up yet when Wu Changkong, exuding a cold aura, entered from outside the door.

The school is holding a grade-level assembly, and Wu Changkong came to inform them.

Wu Changkong remained the same—cold and aloof, but with strong execution skills. He quickly led the students of Class 5, Grade 1 to the playground for assembly.

The current Class 5 of Grade 1 is quite different from what it used to be; perhaps it should now be called Class 1 of Grade 1.

When they arrived on the playground, all the eyes of the other first-grade classes turned to them.

The promotion tournament the day before yesterday had a profound impact on them, especially on Lin Ci. Not only did she receive high treatment in her class, but she was also considered a prominent figure in the entire grade.

Xie Xie came to Lin Ci's side and whispered, "Lin Ci, I was injured at the time and didn't have a chance to say anything to you. You were really strong the day before yesterday. I heard from Gu Yue about your final results. When did you reach the second ring? I didn't even know."

"I broke through by practicing hard during the typhoon. And it was just that I happened to be able to counter the opponent's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it's not that exaggerated," Lin Ci answered truthfully.

It wasn't that he was being modest; it was simply true. His martial soul, after breaking through to level 20, displayed an extremely powerful divine quality. It was practically a complete counter to the dark attribute. Furthermore, the martial soul fusion skill of the former Heavenly King Jin Xi was a superposition of two dark attributes.

The two of them were already at level 20 in terms of soul power, which was insufficient to complete the Martial Soul Fusion Technique. They could only attempt it at least at level 30. Therefore, what they accomplished at level 20 was incomplete and had significant flaws.

Rather than saying Lin Ci shattered their Spirit Fusion Technique, it's more accurate to say that Lin Ci's divine light shattered their already precarious balance. The incomplete Spirit Fusion Technique then backfired on the two of them.

This is quite clear: while spirit fusion skills are powerful, they shouldn't be used lightly. Even a successful use will have consequences, and a failed use will inevitably cause irreversible damage to the spirit master. The fact that Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi only suffered minor injuries is already considered very fortunate.

Gu Yue snorted coldly from the side, "Xie Xie, do you really think everyone is like you, slacking off every day?"

"I'm level 20 too, my soul power is higher than yours, okay?" Xie Xie retorted, dissatisfied.

Seeing that Xie Xie was about to argue with Gu Yue again, Tang Wulin quickly pulled Xie Xie back, saying, "They're both trying their best."

Xie Xie didn't argue with Gu Yue, and then asked curiously, "By the way, I remember your first spirit ring was ten years old, right? Logically speaking, a ten-year spirit ring can only cover one spirit ring at most, but yours are both hundred years old now. When did you go to the Spirit Pagoda?"

In Xie Xie's opinion, only the Spirit Ascension Platform of the Spirit Transmission Tower could increase the age of Lin Ci's soul rings. However, there was a typhoon recently, so he was very puzzled as to when Lin Ci went there.

Lin Ci thought for a moment, then said, "I took the time to go on the last day of the typhoon when it weakened a bit."

That was obviously not the truth. Was he going to tell him that his spirit rings would automatically generate after his breakthrough? That would be absolutely impossible to the other party.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

In fact, Lin Ci didn't have any spirit spirit. His first spirit ring was generated by his martial soul itself, and it was a ten-year ring. However, when he broke through to level 20, a new spirit ring was generated. But this time it was a hundred-year ring, and his first white ten-year spirit ring also became a hundred-year spirit ring.

Following this line of reasoning, level 30 would be a thousand years, level 40 would be ten thousand years, and level 50 would be a hundred thousand years. I don't even want to think about what comes after that.

But it seems that this is indeed the pattern.

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie had no doubts, but nodded solemnly and said with some admiration, "Impressive, I can't compare."

He didn't actually mean that. He knew very well that Lin Ci didn't have much money, otherwise she wouldn't only eat Class C meals and sell grilled fish at a stall outside the academy. So in his eyes, Lin Ci should have been looked down upon by everyone at the beginning, then made money by selling grilled fish at a stall, lived a hard life, then worked hard, and finally made a name for herself in the promotion competition.

He perfectly embodies the image of a protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel; Xie Xie has already meticulously imagined a wish-fulfillment novel in his mind.

On the platform in front of the first-year class, not only the grade director Long Hengxu was present, but also the dean of Donghai Academy, Yu Zhen.

After gesturing to Dean Yu Zhen, Long Hengxu announced loudly, "Today, we've convened this temporary first-year meeting mainly to announce two things. First, due to the special circumstances of this year's first-year class, the winning class will not continue to participate in the subsequent promotion competition. The first-year rankings will be adjusted according to the promotion competition rules. That is, the original Class 5 of the first year will be moved to Class 1 of the first year, and the other four classes will follow the same pattern."

In previous years, most of the promotion competitions resulted in the rankings remaining unchanged. Each grade-level director has a good eye; when initially assigning classes, they strictly follow talent-based divisions, which actually determines a lot.

This year, Class 5 of Grade 1 emerged as a dark horse.

This should actually be considered Long Hengxu's bad luck. Who would have thought that first there was Xie Xie, who kept his twin martial souls hidden, and then there was Gu Yue, who was forcibly inserted by Wu Changkong, and Lin Ci, who was still pretending to be weak while actually being strong. Of course, there was also Xiao Cao Ge, who had a dragon hidden in his body.

All I can say is, poor Long Hengxu.

Brothers, today is a trial push, it's very important. Let's all give it our all!
