Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 55: Confidence Returns

Lin Ci completely overwhelmed Tang Wulin in the strength test this time, so there was no point in hiding anything anymore. A casual punch from him dealt a staggering 6,600 damage.

This actually has little to do with strength anymore; it's mainly because Lin Ci's soul power is too high. With a soul power level of thirty-nine, even if Tang Wulin has innate divine strength and the Golden Dragon King bloodline is powerful, he cannot make up for the absolute gap in soul power level.

Xu Xiaoyan's strength of sixteen points seems to be far inferior to Lin Ci's.

Xu Xiaoyan looked at the data on the instrument and swallowed hard. Tang Wulin was already terrifying enough, but now that she saw Lin Ci's data, she was completely numb.

Especially considering that before coming today, her brother had specifically told him that if anyone bullied her, he would definitely come to teach them a lesson. But now, she still felt she should quickly tell her brother to avoid Lin Ci and the others in the future.

She certainly didn't want to lose her brother at such a young age.

The next test is mental strength. According to Wu Changkong's understanding, Xu Xiaoyan, who is so weak in physical strength, should have some strengths in mental strength. Even if she can't compare to the exceptionally talented Gu Yue, being second to her would be acceptable.

But reality is still not satisfactory.

Xie Xie, who was tested first, broke through the fifty mark in his spiritual power, reaching fifty-nine. He officially advanced from the Spirit Origin Realm to the Spirit Connection Realm. This means that his soul spirit will undoubtedly reach a thousand years in the future. Xu Xiaoyan, who was tested next, only scored two points higher than him.

While she is indeed stronger than Xie Xie, Xie Xie is a battle spirit master, while Xu Xiaoyan is likely a spirit master specializing in mental control, specifically an ice-attribute spirit master. However, she is only two points stronger.

Wu Changkong shook his head slightly. Clearly, in his opinion, Xu Xiaoyan's current performance was absolutely unacceptable.

Xu Xiaoyan whispered to Xie Xie beside her, "Isn't his martial soul light element? How come his power is so..."

Xie Xie chuckled: "Don't rush, there's more to surprise you."

In the following tests, Tang Wulin made significant progress, reaching over two hundred points of mental strength. Lin Ci clearly understood the reason: this trip to Heaven Dou City had greatly benefited Tang Wulin.

The difference in spiritual power between Gu Yue and Lin Ci is not significant, with only a slight difference of a dozen points.

Even so, Xu Xiaoyan was still quite shocked. Not only was the physical strength immense, but the mental power had also reached this level.

She finally understood why Xie Xie had said that earlier; now she knew the reason.

This made the already somewhat frightened girl even more at a loss, as if she felt out of place in this class.

Within the family, everyone doted on her, saying she was a once-in-a-century genius. Although she was usually a bit lazy, she ultimately believed that her talent was enough to earn her recognition and keep her in the class within a month.

But now, that confidence has been somewhat shattered.

The girl hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth, and finally said to Wu Changkong, "Teacher Wu, I request to have my mental strength tested again tonight."

Wu Changkong raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting her to say that, but now he guessed what she meant: "You mean, your mental strength changes at night?"

"Mm." Xu Xiaoyan nodded.

This was originally her biggest secret, and she shouldn't have revealed it so easily. But now, if she didn't show something special, she probably wouldn't even be qualified to stay in Class Zero.

This was also a way to bolster her confidence; she didn't want to be easily looked down upon.

After the test, Wu Changkong glanced at the five students in Class Zero and said, "Next, we'll go to the academy's testing grounds for a battle between you and the upperclassmen. This isn't just my test; it's the academy's test to evaluate you. Therefore, give it your all."

Wu Changkong didn't elaborate, but it was clear that the reason was that the academy didn't want its invested resources to go unrewarded. Therefore, it also needed to check on the results of Class Zero.

Of course, another important reason is whether or not Class Zero should participate in the upcoming Tianhai Alliance Tournament. The school board has always held a divided opinion on this issue, with half agreeing and half disagreeing. Therefore, this battle is extremely important.

If it were any other first-year class, or any class in the intermediate division, the thought of facing an upperclassman would bring a bitter expression to their faces.

The difference between senior and senior grades isn't just about age. Even students in the intermediate division of Donghai Academy aren't guaranteed admission to the senior division. There are tests required, so those who make it into the senior division are at least quite talented.

But Class Zero was different. Xie Xie and Tang Wulin were both eager to try, and they were both very ready to fight.

Lin Ci and Gu Yue were relatively calm, but they were not worried at all.

They could even handle the Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, so why would they be afraid of so-called senior students?

The only one I might be a little worried about is Xu Xiaoyan.

The girl was still a little nervous. She subconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes, a hint of tension flashing in her eyes.

Undoubtedly, this very first battle will directly impact her image in the eyes of the other members of Class Zero and Wu Changkong. This battle is absolutely crucial if she wants to truly pass the test and remain in Class Zero.

However, the tension didn't last long. When Xu Xiaoyan entered the testing area and saw the five senior students opposite her, she was quite startled.

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

"elder brother!?"

Among the five senior students, the blue-haired youth in the middle was his older brother, Xu Xiaoyu.

"It's over...it's over..." Xu Xiaoyan was terrified. She hadn't even had a chance to warn her brother before this happened.

Before the battle began, Xu Xiaoyan immediately ran over, grabbing her brother's sleeve and hurriedly saying, "Brother, why are you here?"

Xu Xiaoyu said confidently, "I applied for this specifically. Today I'm going to get my revenge and teach them a lesson so they won't dare to bully you in class."

"No one is bullying me, brother, hurry up..." But before the girl could finish speaking, her brother pushed her back.

"Hurry back, the competition is about to start. I won't hold back later." Xu Xiaoyu's confidence was not unfounded.

He had been diligently cultivating during the month-long winter break, and all five of them were Soul Masters. He admitted that Lin Ci was very talented; a Soul Master of that age was indeed a prodigy. But no matter how strong Lin Ci was, he couldn't possibly defeat five Soul Masters. This time, their senior class had sent five Soul Masters at once. In his eyes, as long as he could deal with Lin Ci, the others were nothing to fear.

Xu Xiaoyan had no choice but to sigh and then hurriedly ran back to Class Zero's team.

She did warn me, so there's really no way to deal with this now.

Brother, no matter how confident you are, you can't beat a humanoid beast. One punch costs over six thousand...

There will be more tonight, but it might be a little later. Those who go to bed early, go to bed early!
