Douluo Dragon King: My strategy system is not right

Chapter 63 The Discouraged Girl

"Use softness to overcome hardness?!"

Wu Zhangkong looked at the girl who was once again restrained on the field. This talented spirit master from Shrek Academy was once again amazed by Lin Ci's exquisite mastery of the spirit.

In reality, Lin Ci's aura wasn't difficult to remove, but it was difficult to do so with brute force. Infusing it with soul power could effectively counteract it. But how could Wu Siduo, caught in the middle of a lightning-fast battle, suddenly think of injecting soul power?

Unless one's strength is strong enough or one's soul power exceeds Lin Ci, it may take some time to break free with brute force.

Wu Siduo met Lin Ci's half-smile with a glint of shame and anger in her eyes. She could be defeated, but she couldn't accept being trapped in such a humiliating way every time.

This is not the first time.

"Damn it!" Wu Siduo glared at Lin Ci fiercely, the two soul powers within her instantly intersecting and merging. The soul powers of the Nether Spirit Cat and the White Tiger mingled, generating a strange and powerful wave. A shimmering light shone around her, and the illusory White Tiger shadow intertwined with the aura of her own Nether Spirit Cat martial spirit, gradually merging to form a new, even more powerful aura.

Mu Bin and the other five team champions stood up. As Wu Siduo's teammates, they knew what the other party was going to do.

It's no wonder she's able to represent Xingluo Academy at such a young age. She has more than just twin spirits.

Wu Siduo instantly broke free from the light wheel and looked at Lin Ci with some anger, and then the aura on her body was about to rise again.

But the boy opposite shook his head and then stretched out his hand.

"Referee, I surrender."

The moment these words were spoken, the entire audience erupted in an uproar. Everyone stared at Lin Ci in disbelief. They had originally thought that this spectacular showdown would have an even more thrilling ending, given that the base was about to be used. But they hadn't expected Lin Ci to suddenly surrender.

Wu Siduo was equally stunned. Her surging soul power instantly vanished like a deflated ball, leaving her with nowhere to vent her energy. She just stared blankly at Lin Ci as he walked off the stage.

It was like punching cotton, a feeling of frustration that all the energy in her body could not be released. But she had no way to deal with Lin Ci.

Wu Siduo bit her lip and looked at Lin Ci's back, feeling mixed emotions.

Wu Zhangkong didn't say anything, just nodded calmly. He had warned Lin Ci before going on stage that while they had to fight, there was no need to fight to the bitter end. After all, their focus still had to be on the tomb tomorrow.

The students and teachers from Xingluo Academy who were watching the match all watched the two of them leave. The students were fine; they were just there to watch the fun.

But teachers are different.

One of the old men narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "That kid has a backup plan."

The teacher beside him nodded: "I'm afraid even if Siduo unleashes her spirit fusion technique, she may not be a match."

Only then could they see that Lin Ci fought too easily, not because he won easily, but because of his relaxed attitude, as if he never took his opponent seriously.

There was only one reason for this attitude, and that was the overwhelming strength, which gave him complete confidence.

In the evening, Wu Zhangkong, as usual, booked a room at a modest hotel. The room had only two simple beds, one of which was sufficient. After making the arrangements, Wu Zhangkong left, leaving Lin Ci alone in the hotel to recover the soul power consumed during the day's battle.

At the peak of level 39, he was only one step away from breaking through to level 40. However, he still needed to polish himself.

He was meditating when a sudden knock on the door interrupted him.

"Something's wrong." Lin Ci frowned slightly. Logically speaking, if Wu Changkong came back, he would definitely come in directly instead of knocking on the door. But he didn't know anyone in Xingluo City, so how could someone come and knock on the door?

Could it be a waiter in the hotel?

Is the service in this ordinary hotel so good?
With a puzzled attitude, Lin Ci slowly opened the door, and saw Wu Siduo standing at the door with messy brown hair, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

Lin Ci was stunned for a moment, "How did you find this place?"

"Let's fight!" Wu Siduo bit her teeth lightly, obviously not convinced.

Lin Ci chuckled, not worrying about how the other party had found this place. After all, it was within the territory of Xingluo City. With the power of the Wusiduo family and some connections, it should be easy to find him.

"So unconvinced?"

The girl didn't answer, just looked at him.

After she went back home today, she became angrier and angrier. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been a favored child and had never suffered such injustice.

Why should he stop fighting just because he said he would not fight.

Bastard guy!

The young man leaning against the door just smiled, then said in a very mature tone: "Okay, I still need to practice. Losing is losing. Even if I don't surrender, I can't beat your martial soul fusion technique."

Wu Siduo was startled, her expression froze for a moment, and then she asked, "How do you know I have the skill of fusion of my own martial soul?"

"Guessed." Lin Ci shrugged.

Wu Siduo snorted coldly, very dissatisfied: "Perfunctory!" "I won't say any more to you, I have things to do tomorrow. You don't have to be like this, practice hard, believe me, as long as you practice hard, we will fight again eventually. When the time comes, I promise to give you enough."

After saying that, Lin Ci no longer cared about the girl outside the door and simply closed the door.

Seeing Lin Ci's figure disappear, the girl who was locked outside the door seemed to come back to her senses. She looked at the door for a long time.

In reality, she was just angry for a moment. After all, Lin Ci had always treated her with indifference. Fighting with her was like teasing a child, which made her very uncomfortable.

All along, whenever she fought against others, she would enjoy the envy of her opponents, or the countless peers who were amazed by her talent.

But the appearance of Lin Ci broke this "natural" feeling. Not only was he powerful, but he also always had a seemingly nonchalant attitude during the battle, as if he didn't take her seriously. This completely ignited Wu Siduo's competitive spirit.

This genius who appears once in a century felt something different for the first time.

Surprisingly, the girl didn't seem so angry. She just snorted and then left the door.

Upstairs, Lin Ci looked at the girl walking away on the street and nodded meaningfully.

He hadn't expected Wu Siduo to come to the hotel unconvinced. As expected, the tsundere girl was quite arrogant.

He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, went back to the bed and sat cross-legged, continuing to meditate to restore his soul power.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, the sunlight shone softly on Lin Ci's face through the cracks in the window. He woke up slowly, feeling refreshed and his soul power had returned to its best condition.

Not long after waking up, he was taken away by Wu Changkong. The two took the Xingluo City bus to the suburbs and then got off.

"What kind of car should we take next, Teacher Wu?" Lin Ci looked into the distance. This place was very remote and there was not even a normal road. After a section of cement road in the distance, there was a loess road.

That's why he was curious and asked what kind of ride they would take to reach their destination. After all, there were very few soul-guided transportation vehicles that could adapt to this kind of road.

"Let's go." Wu Changkong replied.

"Uh." Lin Ci pondered for a moment, then added, "Teacher Wu, did you not hear me clearly? I meant how to get there."

Wu Zhangkong glanced at him without answering, but told him the answer with his actions.

Lin Ci looked at Wu Changkong who was gradually moving away, and the corners of his mouth twitched. It turned out that this was what "walk" meant, walking with your feet.

He shrugged helplessly and hurried to keep up with Wu Changkong. The two of them walked along the loess road, surrounded by vast fields and rolling hills in the distance. Occasionally, the sound of birdsong could be heard, breaking the silence.

"Teacher Wu, how long will it take us to reach the tomb?" Lin Ci couldn't help but ask as he walked.

They had already been walking for two hours, and if they didn't use their soul power, they would definitely be tired. However, Wu Zhangkong didn't let him use too much soul power, after all, he had to use it to go to the tomb.

But what Lin Ci didn't understand was why he didn't just fly over with him. Wu Zhangkong, with his Soul Emperor cultivation, would definitely be able to do it.

Wu Zhangkong looked straight ahead and said calmly, "It'll probably take several hours to walk. The tomb is in a remote location, and it's surrounded by special soul energy fluctuations, making it difficult for ordinary vehicles to approach."

Lin Ci had no choice but to continue walking. After about another hour, Wu Zhangkong in front of him suddenly stopped.

Wu Zhangkong turned around and looked at him: "Are you hungry?"

Lin Ci's brain froze for a moment, and he didn't react to why Wu Zhangkong suddenly asked such a question.

"A little, but this is out in the middle of nowhere. Did you bring any food, Teacher Wu?" Lin Ci's eyes lit up, and he was about to make a killing when he saw Wu Changkong pull out a few things from his storage ring.

The fish, the grill, and even the charcoal are all ready.

"Let's grill the fish." Wu Zhangkong said lightly.

Lin Ci was stunned for a moment, looking at Wu Changkong's still calm face, but he always felt that this was all premeditated.

Why does he look so much like a slave?

Forced to set up the oven, Lin Ci paused for a moment, then suddenly thought, "Teacher Wu, you didn't go buy these yesterday, did you?"

Wu Zhangkong remained calm, not directly responding to Lin Ci's speculation. He simply helped to tinker with the tools for grilling the fish. He placed the charcoal in the oven, his soul power surging slightly in his hand. A soft flame ignited from his fingertips, landing precisely on the charcoal. Soon, the charcoal was ablaze.

Luckily, Lin Ci always had a secret baking seasoning in his soul guide ring. As he sprinkled the seasoning on the grilled fish, he said, "Teacher Wu, you've only listened to Tang Wulin's nonsense. My grilled fish is really not that good."

Wu Zhangkong was momentarily distracted for some reason, but quickly recovered and said, "I actually bought it a long time ago."

Lin Ci's expression froze, and he tilted his head slightly: "Huh?!"

　Wu Siduo has always been a girl who admires the strong. In the original novel, she and Tang Wulin don't interact much, but she is willing to boldly declare her love in the Sea God Fate just because of the word "the best". In fact, she has always been a tsundere with a bit of paranoia, so she is definitely not convinced by the lack of victory.

　　I've always felt that Wu Siduo's talent is truly exceptional. With twin top-tier martial souls and the ability to fuse her own martial souls, such talent is incredibly powerful even across the trilogy. That's why I focused on describing her. In the original novel, she became a bystander, which is a shame...
