Douluo Dragon King: My strategy system is not right

Chapter 40 Lin Ci again descends upon Xu Xiaoyu

Xu Xiaoyu was in a very bad mood. He didn't expect to meet the guy selling grilled fish again in a spirit-raising platform.

He originally thought he could easily defeat the opponent and avenge his previous humiliation. However, he did not expect that the opponent was so powerful, with three black ten thousand year spirit rings. He did not even have the chance to press the escape button before being defeated.

You have to know that although the Soul Ascension Platform is a semi-virtual world, the pain is real. Especially in this situation, if the staff of the Soul Transmission Tower had not paid timely attention, his body might have been damaged.

Although nothing major happened in the end, it did leave him with a certain psychological trauma.

It took him two full days to fully recover.

And most importantly, his family had spent a huge amount of money to finally obtain two entrance cards to the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform, allowing him and his sister to enter. However, due to his own carelessness, his journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform ended just like that.

Xu Xiaoyu is the only male in the family. However, due to his stubborn and arrogant nature, he is not very popular with the family elders. However, Xu Xiaoyan, who is gentle and somewhat timid, is the apple of the eye of all the elders.

Xu Xiaoyan was gifted, and she didn't like to practice, but she was born with full soul power. Because her brother Xu Xiaoyu was such an excellent talent in the family, no one forced her.

Just like that, three years after her spirit awakened, she was discovered during an internal family test to have reached level 17. Furthermore, she had experienced a rare star wheel phenomenon in the family's history. This was when the family began to take her seriously. It was then that they truly understood that this girl was a genius even more outstanding than Xu Xiaoyu.

The Xu family was the most prominent clan in East China Sea City. Xu Xiaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan's father, the Chief Financial Officer of East China Sea City, held a powerful position. Upon discovering his daughter possessed the family's inherited martial spirit, he was naturally overjoyed. He leveraged his power and financial resources to obtain an additional entry card, sending both his son and daughter to the Explosive Stage Spirit Ascension Platform. He repeatedly instructed Xu Xiaoyu to take good care of her sister and help her gain more spiritual power.

He had just managed to convince his sister and was about to attack the next soul beast when he ran into Lin Ci and his six companions.

After returning, he not only had to endure physical pain and psychological trauma, but also received a scolding from his father. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.

The most important thing is that I feel a little better today, so I took my sister out for a walk to relax. Then I ran into Ouyang Zixin, a junior schoolmate.

Xu Xiaoyu was very clear about Ouyang Zixuan's feelings for him, but being arrogant by nature, he could not make such an easy decision.

Moreover, as the eldest son of the Xu family, he would be responsible for the entire Xu family in the future. Therefore, a political marriage was inevitable, so for this junior sister, he could only wait for her.

But there is no doubt that Xu Xiaoyu still feels a sense of accomplishment when having dinner with a beautiful woman who admires him.

The only thing that made him unhappy was that he met the little ghost who was with Lin Ci in the Shenglingtai at that time.

"Junior, are all the people in your class zero so talented? Soul Masters at this age." Xu Xiaoyu's words were full of daggers, and the intention of testing was obvious.

Tang Wulin naturally knew what the other party meant, and for a moment, he remained silent.

Ouyang Zixin nudged Tang Wulin lightly with her arm and whispered, "Senior, I'm asking you a question."

Tang Wulin glanced at her. Although she was talking to him, her gaze was always on Xu Xiaoyu, and the tenderness in her eyes could not be suppressed.

He couldn't tell what he was feeling. He simply raised his head and said calmly, "Senior, you're joking. You might be talking about Brother Ci. He's the only Soul Master in Class Zero. I'm not even level 20. But normally, Brother Ci won't take action during training. He'll only do it himself if we encounter some really shameless enemies." Xu Xiaoyu's face was grim. How could he not hear the meaning behind Tang Wulin's words? He was simply mocking him.

But what he is best at is avoiding the important and focusing on the trivial.

"Class Zero? It seems like it's just a bunch of toys created by nouveau riche. Look, even people under level 20 can get in." Xu Xiaoyu suddenly stabbed a silver fork into a medium-rare steak, and dark red blood snaked down the bone china plate. "Xiaoyan, I think it might be a mistake for your father to send you in."

Tang Wulin ignored Ouyang Zixin's dissuading gaze and slowly stood up. "Senior, I'm full. Let's go."

Ouyang Zixin's face looked ugly and hesitant.

Tang Wulin seemed to have noticed something and said politely, "Thank you for the treat, Senior Sister. I'll definitely invite you over someday. I'm leaving now."

He took two steps, then slowly turned back and said, "Senior, you have a point. But what good is a person who can't even beat a toy?"

Xu Xiaoyu's face turned red instantly, his eyes burning with anger. He stood up suddenly and slammed his hands on the table, making the plates clang and attracting the attention of the diners around him.

"You little brat, say it again if you have the guts!" Xu Xiaoyu roared with gritted teeth, his body trembling slightly with anger.

He really didn't expect this guy to dare to mock him like that. He was just a brat, no more than a first grader.

Tang Wulin, however, remained calm. He slowly turned around and met Xu Xiaoyu's gaze without a trace of fear. "Senior, I'm only stating the facts. You look down on Class Zero so much, yet you were defeated by them on the Spirit Ascension Platform. Isn't that a contradiction? Or perhaps, Senior, you even look down on yourself."

Xu Xiaoyu was speechless for a moment, feeling angry and annoyed. He never expected that this seemingly ordinary kid could be so sharp in his words.

Xu Xiaoyan, who was standing by, turned pale with fear and tugged at Xu Xiaoyu's clothes, "Brother, stop messing around..."

Ouyang Zixin also looked anxious. She quickly stood up and walked to Xu Xiaoyu, trying to comfort him, "Senior, don't bother with him. He's just an ignorant junior. Calm down..."

As she spoke, she secretly winked at Tang Wulin, signaling him to leave quickly.

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, a voice suddenly came from another corner of the restaurant.

"Wulin, if you're not full, come and eat."

When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw a handsome young man sitting in the corner. The table was filled with sumptuous dishes. He was smiling and waving at Tang Wulin.

Others didn't think anything of it, but when Xu Xiaoyu saw the boy's face, all the color disappeared from her face instantly.

"Why...you again..."
