Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 40 A Different Life
"It's okay, it's just that the teacher is a little... weird."

After thinking about it, Tang Wulin politely defined it as strange.

"For some reason, she's been very strict with our combat training, like she wants us to beat someone... Maybe she's hoping to become Team One through the promotion tournament?"

Xie Xie fell silent as he recalled the scene he saw when the classes were divided.

Perhaps it wasn't to defeat Class 1, but to defeat Class 5? It was just unrequited love, what hatred or grudge was there? How did it become like this?

Without telling Tang Wulin these words, Xie Xie asked:
"Is the training difficult?"

"It's not uncomfortable. Rather, it's because of the actual combat training that I have a chance. After all, I'm quite strong, and now I'm one of the qualifiers for the promotion tournament."

Tang Wulin quickly finished a bowl of white rice and asked for another. "Don't just talk about me. How are you?"

"The treatment in Class 1 is pretty good, with all kinds of preferential treatment. The teacher is also very friendly. He taught us a new meditation method. I'm almost becoming a second-ring great soul master."

"Really? You're so amazing." Tang Wulin exclaimed in amazement.

"sharp?"

Xie Xie's face darkened. "Do you still remember the two people you met the day before the class division?"

"Of course I remember." Tang Wulin nodded.

He later met Huo Yuhao several times in the academy and exchanged names with him, so of course he remembered him.

"They're the real perverts!" Xie Xie began to complain. "One is level 27, the other is level 33. Their fighting power is comparable to that of a Four-Ring Soul Master! I originally thought I was the most talented, but I didn't expect to encounter them."

Tang Wulin stared at Xie Xie with wide eyes in horror. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, an idea came to his mind.

Otherwise, tell the teacher later that their class shouldn't compete with Class 1 anymore...

"Help! Robbery!"

A cry of surprise rang out over the snack street.

Tang Wulin came back to his senses and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a middle-aged man with a pale face running out of a small alley, followed by two burly men with ugly faces and knives in their hands.

"I told you to scream! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Apparently because they failed to stop the man, the two burly men became angry and humiliated, completely ignoring the fact that they were in public and continued to chase the middle-aged man.

Some passersby compared their body sizes and looked at the knives in the hands of the two big men, and did not dare to step forward to help.

Tang Wulin frowned and wanted to stand up to help, but was held down by Xie Xie.

"fine."

Xie Xie took a look at the clothes of the two thugs and sneered.

"You're not from the East China Sea, no wonder you dare to act so recklessly here."

Tang Wulin was stunned. What did that mean?
The shop owners around were also quite calm when watching this scene, but they were careful to keep their distance to avoid being affected.

"What are you doing?!"

Soon, a strong voice was heard, causing the two thugs to stop and turn around. They saw a strong man in uniform walking towards them with a ferocious smile on his face.

From the security team?

The two men's faces changed and they wanted to run, but the exposed skin of the security team man had turned iron-gray, and there were raised iron-gray scales on his neck. Several spirit rings rose up, but before Tang Wulin could see clearly, he saw the other party step forward and rush in front of the two men.

With two bangs, the two thugs were knocked to the ground by the man before they could react, and two handcuffs were tied on their hands.

"You don't even ask who protects this street before you come here to rob people?"

The man snorted coldly, tossed the two thugs to his companions behind him, clapped his hands, put away his spirit, and walked towards Tang Wulin and the others.

"Boss, give me three bowls of braised beef in a can and ten bowls of rice. I've eaten all over Donghai City, and your braised beef is the most delicious."

"Okay, Captain Guanglong." Uncle Li was clearly familiar with him. "You're not busy lately, are you?" "The security around here is pretty good. I'm almost getting rusty from sitting in the office."

After finding a seat and sitting down, Guanglong smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet two idiots when I went out to eat with my colleagues."

"They don't know that the security team's base is nearby. They must be new here." Uncle Li also responded with a smile.

At this moment, Tang Wulin saw Guanglong sitting a few meters away. He finally reacted from the battle and looked at Guanglong cautiously.

He didn't know what happened. Just now when the other party released his martial spirit, he felt an inexplicable throbbing, so he lost his mind for a moment... What happened?

Having said that, he didn't expect to see a Four-Ring Soul Sect member taking action just by going out for a meal. Even though his teacher was a Soul King, he had never seen him take action...

"If he wasn't worried about those two people accidentally hurting the residents here, he wouldn't have used his martial spirit at all."

Xie Xie was amused by Tang Wulin's cautious movements. "So, don't be fooled by the Light Dragon Captain's fierceness; he's actually quite kind."

"Xie Xie, do you know him?" Tang Wulin looked away and asked.

“Who who frequents this street doesn’t know this?”

Xie Xie said, “These are all well-known legends.”

Guanglong, the captain of the security team, was born into an ordinary family. His parents were both deceased and he only had one older brother. However, both brothers had good martial spirits, belonging to the sub-dragon martial spirit. At the age of six, he awakened his martial spirit in the Spirit Pagoda and obtained a soul spirit, which gradually made him stand out...

Listening to Xie Xie's story, Tang Wulin felt as if he was seeing a replica of himself for some reason. He was inexplicably happy and drank seven bowls of rice in a row, which attracted the attention of Guanglong beside him.

Wow, it seems he can eat more than me.

Guanglong smiled with interest and was about to look away when he saw the bracelet that Tang Wulin had to wear when he went out as instructed by his parents.

"..."

Pursing his lips, a hint of jealousy flashed in Guanglong's eyes. If he had that before, he could have gone further...

But after thinking for a while, he smiled with relief.

If there was no support from the Spirit Pagoda, only one of him and his brother would be able to obtain a soul. The other would be unable to practice and would always live with jealousy and resentment. What would that life be like?

Guanglong couldn't imagine it, but he still felt that it was not a satisfactory life... He was already living a good life, so why should he be jealous?

When Tang Wulin ordered another serving of braised beef in a can, Guanglong sat next to him with his own braised beef and handed the food to him.

"You were just talking about me, right? How about letting me hear your story?"

……

"Keep working hard next time, and don't waste your talent for forging."

After listening to some of Tang Wulin's experiences that had been edited out, Guanglong left the money, patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder, and stood up to leave.

Tang Wulin looked at the retreating Light Dragon with a confused expression, "Xie Xie, why is Captain Light Dragon interested in me?"

"You still don't know?" Xie Xie gave a look that was either admiration or a look of idiocy. "The soul guide in your hand represents a recognition from the Spirit Pagoda. Guanglong's brother also has one. I've seen it on this street before, so I recognized it when I saw your bracelet."

Tang Wulin was curious, "Brother?"

Xie Xie rarely showed a serious expression.

"His brother is the captain of the East China Sea Mecha Brigade—Guang Biao, a Seven-Ringed Soul Sage! His status is comparable to that of the East China Sea Archon..."

Seven rings?!
There were only these two words in Tang Wulin's eyes, he could not hear anything else, and his face gradually became dull.

That was a realm he dared not even imagine, but according to Xie Xie's meaning, could he have similar achievements as that person?
"Wulin, you are a forging genius, would you like to join us?"

The words of the Spirit Pagoda receptionist rang in his ears, and Tang Wulin felt a strong excitement in his heart.

Can he, too?
