Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 68 Participation

Donghai Square, the center of Donghai City.

The usually solemn and quiet square was bustling with people early in the morning, and there were also many buses parked there.

Today, the vehicles from Donghai Academy and other associations and colleges are here to prepare for the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition.

The Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition is jointly hosted by five first-tier cities on the East Coast, with some second- and third-tier cities participating. As one of the major cities, Donghai City's performance in previous competitions has been disappointing. This has not only embarrassed the academy but also greatly distressed the governing officials of Donghai City.

This is why we chose to send Class Zero to participate in this competition. Winning or losing isn't really important, given their age. The main reason is to showcase the spirit of Donghai Academy and let the Tianhai Alliance know that Donghai Academy also has genius soul masters and the ability to cultivate geniuses.

Of course, the academy also hopes that these individuals can demonstrate the potential of Donghai City to the high-level officials of major cities in the Tianhai Alliance, and also hopes to receive more help and support from the Donghai City government.

Lin Ci and Wu Changkong returned to Donghai City yesterday and gathered at the square early this morning.

He was still a little sleepy when he arrived, but Xie Xie hurriedly pulled him over to ask him questions.

"Hey Lyricist, I heard you went to Xingluo City with Dance Teacher these past three days?"

Lin Ci nodded, but he still didn't seem very energetic. His body was under too much strain.

Xie Xie looked Lin Ci up and down suspiciously, then leaned closer and whispered, "Brother Ci, did you run into some beautiful girl in Xingluo City? You're acting strangely."

Lin Ci rolled her eyes at Xie Xie, then gently tapped his head. "Don't make wild guesses. I'm just too tired from traveling and cultivating these past few days."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a chill run down her spine. Turning around, she saw only Gu Yue leaning against the side of the bus, her eyes cold, but she was only staring at the ground.

Xie Xie touched the spot where he had been knocked and chuckled, "Okay, Brother Ci, I was just joking. But speaking of which, our Class Zero is quite the focus of attention in the academy for this Tianhai Alliance competition, so the pressure is considerable."

Lin Ci rubbed her temples. "It's okay. If you win the individual championship, we won't feel any pressure."

"Uh..." Xie Xie shrugged helplessly.

Just then, a slightly familiar but unwelcome figure came to Lin Ci's side.

Xie Xie frowned slightly and asked, "Senior, is there something you need?"

The person who arrived was Xu Xiaoyu. Faced with Xie Xie's hostility, she looked slightly embarrassed, but still forced herself to say, "Lin...Lin Ci, I'm sorry, it was my fault before."

Lin Ci looked up at him and was surprised to find that he had come to apologize, and his attitude seemed quite sincere.

Xu Xiaoyu continued, "I hope you won't take your anger out on my sister. The things that happened before were all my fault."

He was afraid that his problems would affect Xu Xiaoyan's interpersonal relationships in Class Zero.

Xie Xie snorted coldly and said, "We're not those kinds of people, do you think..."

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but the meaning was self-evident.

Xu Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed, but it wasn't a good time to refute anything.

"Brother, what are you doing here!"

The blue-haired girl stepped directly between Xu Xiaoyu and Lin Ci, then said sternly, "Brother, are you trying to cause trouble for Brother Ci again?!"

Seeing Xu Xiaoyan's wary expression, Xu Xiaoyu quickly waved her hand and explained, "Xiaoyan, you've misunderstood. I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm here to apologize."

Xu Xiaoyan was slightly taken aback, her eyes filled with suspicion. She turned to Lin Ci and asked, "Brother Ci, is what he said true?"

Lin Ci nodded.

Xu Xiaoyan then snorted, "Brother, if you dare to cause trouble for Brother Ci again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Xu Xiaoyu: "..."

Who is the real brother here?!

However, seeing that his younger sister seemed to be doing well in Class Zero, he was relieved.

The square was quite chaotic at the moment, with a large number of people representing various associations and the college participating in the competition.

There are also teams representing other colleges.

The Skysea Alliance Grand Tournament is comprehensive, including mecha competitions and a dedicated battle armor competition.

Just like the awkward position of Donghai Academy in Tianhai Alliance, Tianhai Alliance's position in the entire Federation is also rather awkward. In terms of economy, it is definitely among the top, but in other aspects, such as the number of Battle Armor Masters, Mech Masters, Mech Technology, and the number and quality of Soul Masters, it ranks low in the alliance.

These advantages all reside in Sun and Moon City, also known as Mingdu, and Heavenly Dou City. Shrek City, however, is not included in the Federation's evaluations. In a sense, Shrek City holds a transcendental position.

For the teachers and students from Donghai Academy participating in the competition, one large bus was sufficient to transport them. After all, the bus sent this time was the highest-standard bus in Donghai City, a super bus that could carry up to sixty-six people at a time.

Relatively speaking, the seats are still quite empty.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie sat together, while Wu Changkong sat alone in the front single seat. After all, if he had sat in a two-seater, the female students probably wouldn't have let the opportunity pass him by.

Behind Wu Changkong, Lin Ci sat down, intending to lean against the window and take a nap, but the cool atmosphere beside him brought him back to his senses.

The latest novel is first published here!

Gu Yue had been sitting there at some point, cold and indifferent, not saying a word, just sitting there, staring straight ahead.

Behind them were Xu Xiaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan was very reluctant to sit with her brother, but she had no choice but to be forcibly pulled over without giving her the right to refuse.

Fortunately, she was close to the Class Zero members, and she would occasionally look up and chat with the people in front of her.

Seeing her younger sister getting along so well with Class Zero, Xu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he looked at the students in Class Zero, and there was a deeper meaning in his eyes.

It has to be said that the students in Class Zero are truly talented, and he now genuinely feels that having his younger sister join them was an absolutely correct decision.

Although it was a slap in the face, it was a fact he had to admit.

Putting aside Lin Ci's terrifying strength, just the fact that he was a three-ring Soul Master at that age was enough for them to look up to. Although he later learned that Lin Ci's three ten-thousand-year Soul Rings were actually altered, three thousand-year Soul Rings were still terrifying.

Moreover, it wasn't just Lin Ci; the girl sitting next to him, though seemingly ordinary, was actually a supermodel.

During the last competition, there were so many elements involved. It's unbelievable that a Soul Master could control so many elements and combine them so skillfully.

Xu Xiaoyu shook her head and sighed heavily. Compared to him, what kind of genius was he?

Lin Ci really wanted to sleep. He suppressed all the energy that the Angel's Tomb had given him at the end, choosing not to merge with it.

This power is extremely strong, even containing some divine power. If he chooses to absorb it directly, it might instantly increase his soul power by at least ten levels. His martial soul will also evolve to some extent.

However, he believes there is a better way to process this energy: gradually transform it within the body and eventually make it his third martial soul!

This power is more than enough to support him in creating his third martial soul. The six-winged angel, combined with his own power, may create a completely new and even more powerful martial soul.

Of course, this is only in the conceptual stage right now. We still need to try it out, and if it really doesn't work out, we can choose to integrate this power again.

Uh, not every character you're trying to win over is the female lead, so don't worry, there won't be any disgusting scenes.
