Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 14 White Robes and Long Whips Dance in the Sky

With the establishment of Class Zero of the first year at Donghai Academy, the academy, as promised, gave them treatment that was far different from that of ordinary students.

The classroom was moved to a separate, spacious room, and their dormitories were also adjusted. Instead of four people sharing a room, each person had their own room, the same type of room as regular teachers. In other words, they directly enjoyed the same housing benefits as teachers. The six of them lived in adjacent rooms.

Wu Changkong was also assigned a new teacher dormitory, right next to their original dormitory, and his original dormitory was replaced with a suite.

The meals for Class Zero are completely free. No matter what the meal is, as long as it's food from the cafeteria, you can eat it for free at any time, without any limit.

The new classroom was larger than the original one and fully equipped, but with only six of them, it felt rather empty.

Since Wang Jinxi and the others are not in very good health at the moment, the first day's class was naturally the theory class that Lin Ci disliked the most.

The only difference is that the teacher giving the lecture has become Wu Changkong.

"To make your battle armor powerful, it must be suitable for you. Therefore, truly top-tier battle armor masters are extremely intimate with their mechs. They either design them themselves, make them themselves, or repair them themselves. Only in this way can they gradually become one with their battle armor. Without learning a second profession, you will never be able to create the most suitable battle armor for yourself, and you will never be able to ascend to the altar."

"The establishment of Class Zero has only one goal: to propel you toward the pinnacle. This process will be difficult and lengthy, and you may spend your entire lives striving in this direction. What I need to do is, in the very beginning, help you avoid detours and help you recognize the right direction."

"There's no rush to choose a second career. You have plenty of time to think about it. But by your third year at the latest, you'll have to make a choice. With your talent, you'll be ahead of the average person in this area. The earlier you start, the sooner you'll reap the rewards. So give me your answer within three years."

The first lesson gave them a little shock: the secondary profession of mecha and battle armor.

Battle armor is the pinnacle of Soul Masters in the Dragon King era. It can be said that a top-tier Soul Master must possess an absolute kingly battle armor.

However, these things are still too far away for them at this stage.

However, upon hearing this, Lin Ci couldn't help but recall something.

His battle armor was definitely long gone, since he had a different body. It's just unknown whether the thing he once made still exists. Over the years, knowledge about mechs has evolved considerably, and it's still somewhat unfamiliar to him.

Zhang Yangzi raised his hand and asked curiously, "Teacher Wu, have you ever seen what the most powerful mecha looks like?"

As soon as he said that, everyone else looked over curiously. People his age all had a great fondness for mecha. And undoubtedly, the most powerful mecha were a topic of great interest to them, though they hadn't known much about them before. But now that Wu Changkong was here, perhaps that question would be answered.

Wu Changkong fell silent, seemingly recalling something. After a long while, he spoke, "Yes."

The most powerful mech! Even after all these years, he still remembers it. It should still be stored at the bottom of Poseidon Lake.

Back then, he only saw that person piloting that mecha once. Later, until he left Shrek Academy, that mecha remained dormant at the bottom of Poseidon Lake.

For so many years, it has been like this, as if waiting for its master to return...

Wu Changkong glanced at the six of them, then slowly said, "If you have the chance in the future, you will also be able to see that mecha."

Wu Changkong didn't specify the opportunity, but at that moment, an idea popped into his mind.

Although it's just an idea, it's like a seedling meeting water; it will soon grow into a towering tree.

I thought these two days would be all theory classes, but right after class in the morning, Wu Changkong came up with something different in the afternoon.

Because this time it's no longer white clothes and blue sword.

White-clad figures and long whips dance across the sky!

Seeing what Wu Changkong was holding, Lin Ci felt a chill run down her spine, as if some memories buried deep in her blood were about to be unearthed.

"Teacher Wu, what are you doing?" Lin Ci asked, still clinging to a sliver of hope.

Wu Changkong uttered a few words calmly, "Combat training."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Those who are not injured, come on over."

Lin Ci's lips twitched. If he had known he was also injured during the competition, he could have justified surrendering now.

At this moment, Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi, who were behind them, were clearly gloating. They knew that Wu Changkong holding a pointer meant trouble, and they were glad they didn't have to participate.

Lin Ci sighed softly. It seemed there was no escaping it, and she would have to put in more effort.

Wu Changkong continued, "Your own combat experience and skills are severely lacking. I'm not talking about your combat experience using Martial Souls or Soul Skills. You're lacking in that area too, but not too much. What you lack more is basic combat ability without using Martial Souls."

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

Upon hearing the term "basic combat ability," the group was clearly taken aback. This was especially true for Gu Yue, an elemental soul master who didn't really need close-quarters combat, let alone basic combat ability.

Gu Yue asked in confusion, "Teacher Wu, my ability is elemental control. In battle, I only need to continuously suppress my opponent with elements, whether it's a single enemy or a group of enemies. As long as the elements I control are strong enough, I can end the battle. Basic combat abilities don't seem to mean much to me. Shouldn't I be focusing on improving my soul power and spiritual power?"

Wu Changkong did not answer Gu Yue directly. Instead, he took a few steps forward and faced Lin Ci and the other two who were standing in front of him and were not injured.

"Now, we'll conduct a test. I won't use any soul skills, and I'll suppress my soul power to around level 30. The three of you will attack me simultaneously to see what happens."

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue were both full of fighting spirit, and it was clear that they both intended to try out the basic combat abilities that Wu Changkong had mentioned.

Unlike the other two, Lin Ci looked at the long whip in Wu Changkong's hand and simply closed her eyes resignedly.

He truly regretted it, regretted teaching those kids these things back then. He'd only done it for fun, and those little brats' bottoms were covered in bruises from his scolding. Who knew that after so many years, it would become a spiraling dart piercing his own flesh again?

What is this called? Will that shot from back then personally hit my future self many years later?

Just to correct you, I mentioned earlier that Lin Ci had some knowledge gaps regarding mecha and battle armor. That was a mistake on my part; I hadn't thought of it at the time. Since Lin Ci had pursued other characters besides Gu Yue during the Dragon King era, she definitely knew a lot about these topics.

Okay, okay, that's all. ヾ()

The characters who can be pursued before the Dragon King era will be revealed later; they won't be the female lead, but rather they will be used to advance the plot.
