Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 155 Core Disciple
"Frost Crow, start!"

The training model was a purely manual mecha. Gula pushed down the joystick and controlled the mecha to move forward two steps. After becoming proficient in it, he began to do the work.

"Run, jump!"

"Backflip!"

Even if it is a training model, perfectly piloting the "Frost Raven" can also exert combat power equivalent to that of an ordinary Soul King. After all, the three-meter-high all-metal structure can exert considerable power when in motion.

"boom!"

Amid the roar of metal joints rubbing against each other, the silver-gray mecha drew a perfect Z-shaped line on the training ground.

Gula stared at the constantly pulsating data stream through the holographic window, his left hand fluttering across the twelve-key control panel like a butterfly. The Frost Raven mech's unique condensation system kept a thin mist lingering in the cockpit, but it couldn't quench the sweat in his palms.

"Thruster power 65%, joint torque overclock 20%--" The electronic sound suddenly turned into a shrill alarm. Gula grinned and pushed the joystick to the bottom with his right hand.

The three-meter-tall steel giant twisted his waist unexpectedly during the sprint, and his dark gold-painted knee joints burst out with azure soul power. The entire body flipped in the air two and a half weeks, and when it landed, the hydraulic shock absorbers smashed the ground into spider-web cracks.

"Sweet and crooked."

Gula had a strong physique, so the pressure of piloting a mecha was nothing to him. He quickly became proficient. "It felt... more exciting than a real battle, like playing a game."

"childish."

A cold voice penetrated the cockpit's sound insulation. Gu Yue had leaned against the titanium alloy door frame, arms folded, and looked at Gula with a cold expression.

The mecha stopped, the cockpit opened, and Gula narrowed his eyes and said provocatively, "Junior sister, or senior brother should teach you what privacy is."

Knowing that he was no match for Gula, Gu Yue ignored Gula's provocation. Knowing the talents of true human geniuses, Gu Yue accelerated the unlocking of his power, but ultimately it was impossible for him to surpass Gula instantly.

"The teacher wants to see us, you don't have to come."

After Gu Yue finished speaking, he teleported away.

"Hey."

Gula is not stupid and will not be provoked. He teleports to catch up.

On the top floor, there was a document on Leng Yaozhu's desk. It was the identity information of Gula who replaced the nobles. There were some unreasonable parts in it, but compared with Gula's talent, they could be ignored.

Speaking of which, Gu Yue and the family behind her are more suspicious. Leng Yaozhu doesn't care. The Leng family is in a period of transition, and she doesn't accept disciples to inherit the Leng family's status. Does that mean she will really let the Spirit Pagoda become the Qiangu family's one-man show?
"teacher."

Gu Yue pushed the door open and came in, followed closely by Gula.

Leng Yaozhu raised her head and looked at the two disciples, her expression softening. "I called you here to tell you that I have listed you as core disciples of the Spirit Pagoda."

"But even though I'm the deputy tower master, there's only one spot for a core disciple. If you want to make an exception and enjoy the resources and training of a core disciple, you need to pass the test."

Gu Yue's expression changed, and Gula asked, "Teacher, what are the benefits of becoming a core disciple?"

Leng Yaozhu was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Don't bury yourself in the studio all day. Learn from your junior sister and learn more about the internal information of the Spirit Pagoda. It will be helpful to you in the future."

Gula nodded perfunctorily. He didn't have enough time to practice, so how could he have time to deal with interpersonal relationships? If Gu Yue wanted to gain power, then let him do it. It would be fine as long as he could suppress Gu Yue.

Leng Yaozhu saw Gula's disapproval, but she didn't care. As long as Gula continued to grow stronger, he would naturally gain the power he deserved. "My disciples are my disciples, trained only by me. The core disciples of the Spirit Pagoda are the next generation of high-level reserve disciples, cultivated by the entire Spirit Pagoda's foundation."

"For example, the Golden Ancient Tree Soul I gave you before, as the Deputy Tower Master, I have to pay a price to take it away. But as a core disciple, as long as you can integrate it, you can take the Golden Ancient Tree away without paying any price."

"The important thing is that the Tower Master will only choose from the core disciples. The Soul Tower at the headquarters has the hundred thousand year old souls and soul bones left by the predecessors of the Soul Tower. Only the true core disciples have the opportunity to obtain them."

"Also, you need hybrid souls to replace your soul rings. This requires not only resources, but also status and authority. It would be best if you could control a few laboratories of your own."

"...Teacher, stop reading and just tell me what you want me to do."

Gula contacted the ancient golden tree in the sea of ​​spirits. He named it "Jin Gu", implying precious plants and the meaning of continuity. "Jin Gu, the fourth soul skill must evolve into a true clone soul skill. I am almost too busy."

Leng Yaozhu saw his disciple was distracted and raised her hand to knock on his head. "You are still too young to be in front of others. I say this because I will be giving you special training from now on. Don't complain about the hard work."

"Especially you, Gula. There's no need to hold everything in your hands. Human energy is limited. It's not good to be too tense. You need to relax and let others do the work."

Gula insisted, "Teacher, you don't need to persuade me. When I feel my energy is running out, I will definitely give up some things. Before that, I hope to learn more."

Lady Leng Yaozhu sighed, unable to persuade Gula, and could only let him go.

She stood up and said, "Come with me. I have prepared a gift for Gula to become his disciple, and I won't show favoritism. Gu Yue, you can look forward to the gift I have prepared for you."

Gu Yue's expression was indifferent. "No matter what the teacher gives me, I like it."

Gula glanced at her, showing no sign of liking her at all.

Leng Yaozhu felt the same way. She felt that there was something wrong with her two disciples. One was working too hard, as if someone was chasing him, and the other was too indifferent and didn't care about anything.

She feels that being a teacher is very difficult.

The three of them came to a room on the middle floor of the Spirit Pagoda, opened the door, and what came into view was a dense mass of soul balls.

"You said you were interested in souls. High-level souls are the foundation of the Spirit Pagoda. I can't give them to you. There are over 300 discarded and artificial souls. You can study them yourself."

Leng Yaozhu looked at the cold Gu Yue with shining eyes, and was very satisfied with her ability to choose gifts.

Teacher, you are confused!

Gula shook her head secretly. Gu Yue wanted to study souls, but not for the benefit of mankind. What she wanted to do was to revive soul beasts through souls and control humans.

"You have to be careful when fusing souls in the future. At least you can't fuse souls that Gu Yue has touched."

“Thank you, teacher. I like these gifts very much.”

Gu Yue thanked him sincerely, and smiled for the first time. She had taken the first solid step towards achieving her goal of reviving the soul beast.

Gula thought secretly: "This doesn't seem to happen in the original novel. Maybe it does, but Gu Yue needs to become a messenger or even the tower master before he can take action against all the souls."

"We need to find her something to do. Aren't you curious about Tang Wulin's bloodline? I'll find an opportunity to reveal it to you!"
