Douluo Continent: I Have a Diverse Order-Taking Platform

"Relax, so relaxing."

Once the round-robin tournament ended,

Di Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er said goodbye to their respective teammates and joined Liu Yuan and the others.

As soon as they met, they heard Wang Dong'er boasting.

"...No matter who it is, I'll sweep them aside with one hand."

"That's really great." Liu Yuan smiled and clapped along. "Then let's see if Miss Wang can sweep through again in the elimination rounds." As he spoke, he deliberately lingered on Di Qiu'er for a moment.

Di Qiu'er readily agreed, puffing out her chest and issuing a challenge, "Shall we have a match?"

"Ugh—"

Exposed, Wang Dong'er's face flushed instantly. She then glared at Liu Yuan, "Can't you just let me have some fun? Don't be so quick to ruin my chances!"

"no."

A burst of laughter and commotion ensued.

After a while, Liu Yuan was the first to stop.

Then, her gaze shifted to the side, "Teacher, is there something you want to talk to us about?"

Just moments before, while they were teasing Wang Dong'er, a refined-looking male teacher stood smiling to the side, showing no intention of leaving.

"It's nothing."

The male teacher pushed up his glasses and looked at Wang Dong'er, Huo Yuhao, Liu Yuan, and Di Qiu'er in turn, his eyes revealing a burning desire.

That gaze is truly irresistible!

Tap, tap…

Wang Dong'er silently took a step back.

Something's off about this guy's eyes.

Wang Yan: "..."

No, is it right for you to take a step back?

Wang Dong'er then sidled up behind Liu Yuan and whispered, "Is this teacher a pervert?"

Instantly, Wang Yan's smile froze on his face.

"Don't say that," Liu Yuan said helplessly, stopping Wang Dong'er, then stepped forward and asked again, "Excuse me, teacher, what can I do for you?"

"Ahem..." Reminded, Wang Yan quickly coughed to ease his embarrassment. "Sorry, I was too abrupt. Let me introduce myself first. I am Wang Yan, and I am dedicated to the research of martial spirit theory."

But when this is mentioned,

A bitter feeling welled up in his heart.

If he had good talent for cultivation, why would he be so fixated on this? It's clearly the powerful Panlong Staff, yet in his hands, he's only at the Soul King level. Now, his cultivation is even more difficult.

Left with no other choice, he had to find another way.

He decided to emulate the masters of ten thousand years ago and start from the research of martial spirit theory, so as to make a name for himself in history.

Unfortunately, after tens of thousands of years of development, theoretical research on martial spirits has become extremely difficult.

To go any further is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Unless you're lucky enough to snag a disciple who can become a god, you'll have to start from other angles.

For example, researching the rarest and most powerful martial spirits in the world, but such martial spirits are both difficult to encounter and hard to find.

Who would have thought that he would encounter three such individuals during this freshman assessment? If you include those with rare and precious original martial souls, then there are a total of four.

One is the Goddess of Light Butterfly, which has appeared before, but it has not been studied in depth, and there are only a few words about it in books.

One is the Golden Dragon, which is already legendary even among soul beasts, not to mention martial souls.

The last one is Ryuen's source.

He appeared unremarkable, but thanks to his status as a grand-disciple of Elder Xuan, he had the privilege of seeing the Golden Ancient Tree. Liu Yuan's Origin Willow Martial Soul seemed to share the same origin as the Golden Ancient Tree.

With the addition of Di Qiu'er and Liu Yuan's fighting spirits, he was also fortunate enough to learn the results during the investigation.

Can something that can rival the Golden Dragon be ordinary?

It's impossible to even think about it!

"So, Professor Wang wants to study our martial spirits?"

"Exactly."

Wang Yan nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"I don't know if that's okay?"

Well…

Liu Yuan considered it briefly.

"Teacher Wang, we still have to conduct the new student assessments next, so I'm afraid we don't have much time."

"It's alright, it's alright."

Sensing his polite refusal, Wang Yan expressed his understanding. He could only say, "Actually, I'm not doing this for nothing; I will definitely give you appropriate compensation. If Liu changes his mind, he can contact me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan did not refuse again.

"In that case, let's talk about it another day."

"This is nature, this is nature..."

After that,

Wang Yan didn't linger and turned to leave.

Watching his hurried departure, Wang Dong'er turned to Liu Yuan and asked, "Did you really agree to that teacher's request?"

That doesn't really mean I agreed.

Liu Yuan didn't say anything more, he just waved to the group and said, "Alright, let's go."

He knew that Wang Yan was backed by Xuan Zi, and that he would most likely go to find that Taotie Douluo later.

Although Xuanzi is unreliable.

But if he really comes, surely he won't mistake the ultimate wood attribute of his martial soul?

……

Poseidon Island, lakeside.

"Elder Xuan, that's how it is."

Wang Yan stood respectfully to the side.

Xuanzi, who was enjoying a sip of wine and a bite of chicken, was waiting for him to speak.

"You've got quite a few martial spirits on your mind, kid." Xuanzi tore off a piece of chicken, muttering to himself, a thoughtful look flashing in his cloudy eyes.

"There's not much to say about that girl from the Goddess of Light Butterfly. Although the Goddess of Light Butterfly is indeed rare, it's not particularly powerful. Besides, she's the little princess of the Haotian Sect. You shouldn't know this."

"Is she from the Haotian Sect?"

Wang Yan was startled upon hearing this.

"Could she possess twin martial souls!?"

"Um."

Seeing that Xuanzi was unwilling to say more, Wang Yan did not ask any more questions and changed the subject to another person.

"What about Di Qiu'er?"

"You mean the one with the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, right?"

"right."

"Her..."

At this point, Xuanzi paused.

"Actually, we noticed that girl as soon as she entered Shrek Academy. But there are some issues with her background. She was brought in by people from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, but she has nothing to do with them."

"Therefore, the academy is prepared to observe her. If nothing unexpected happens, she will become a future inner court student."

No wonder!

Wang Yan revealed a knowing look.

He was wondering why the academy hadn't made contact with them, since they were all Golden Dragon Martial Souls with ultimate power.

"What about Elder Xuan, and Huo Yuhao?!"

The true form of a martial soul...

The old man's cloudy eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

I couldn't help but think of that old poisoner.

"This kid's martial spirit is indeed quite good."

"Moreover, I estimate that what he has might not just be eyes, but also connected to his brain. If that's the case, then it's an extremely powerful physical martial soul."

He tossed the chicken bone aside and asked, "How's your cultivation level?"

"Level 20, the first ring in a century."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan quickly replied.

"I see..."

Elder Xuan considered it for a moment, then said, "That's alright. As long as his martial soul doesn't awaken a second time, this kid is worth nurturing. It's just that his talent is a bit lacking."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Yan.

"You've got a sharp eye, kid."

After wiping the oil stains on his clothes, he casually picked up a gourd of wine and took a big gulp.

"Xiao Wang, find a suitable match and have Xiao Du arrange a spot for me. I'll go check it out myself. Especially that guy you mentioned, Liu Yuan. His martial soul is not only similar to the Golden Ancient Tree, but he can also contend with the Golden Dragon, and his background is incredibly clean..."

Tsk tsk tsk—

"This kid really has potential!"
