Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 113 Classes Begin

After the two finished talking, Lin Xingyu walked out of the hotel in a leisurely manner.

After he left the hotel, he always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was nothing, so he turned around and went to the mimicry training ground.

I had a good harvest today and worked overtime tonight.

Passing through a series of metal buildings, he arrived at a place dedicated to cultivation.

Lin Xingyu sat cross-legged in the center of the room, took out a Nine Dragons Pill and put it in his mouth, then entered a state of meditation.

Lin Xingyu tried to guide the external energy of heaven and earth to gather through his mental power. After his mental power reached the Lingyuan realm, he could begin to influence the external energy of heaven and earth. This was the Shrek Academy's simulated training field, which was built on a node where the energy of heaven and earth flowed, and it also had a simulated training environment.

While he was changing his blood, he was meditating. The vital energy of heaven and earth continued to flow into his body and was devoured and absorbed by him.

The meridians throughout his body were functioning together, allowing him to highly absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth and refine it very quickly. However, practicing two systems at the same time made his demand for the vital energy of heaven and earth even higher.

His whole body was shrouded in blood-red light. The soul power cultivated by each soul master would be different due to the attributes, quality, meditation method and even personal character of his martial soul.

Cultivation is both a very scientific and a very idealistic process.

It is called science because it can be summarized into various rules and laws, and facts that can only be summarized using a set of methods are all science.

It is said to be idealism because any thought or idea may interfere with the process and the result.

The soul master's practice is to constantly refine the soul power with the martial soul as the core and open up a new path.

As Lin Xingyu practiced, soul power vortexes continued to appear in his body.

Soul power starts out as gas, then becomes liquid, and finally solid.

Generally speaking, soul masters will condense their soul power into a solid state and condense a soul core when they reach the Soul Saint stage.

Lin Xingyu is only in his forties, but a series of soul power vortexes have already been generated in his body. This is a process of soul power transforming from liquid to solid. With the quality of his soul power, it won't take long before he can try to condense a soul core.

"Soul core!"

Thinking of this, Lin Xingyu suddenly hesitated, as he was about to condense his first soul core.

His idea about soul cores was very simple. He didn't plan to make any fancy attribute soul cores. He planned to just go for the simplest ones, one each for essence, qi, and spirit.

A god needs mental strength to reach the spiritual realm, but he still has a long way to go so he can forget about it for now.

As for essence and qi, the main essence of his martial arts practice is change, transformation and change.

From human to non-human, the main pursuit is the change of life form. It is said to be martial arts, but it is mixed with some feelings of immortality and evolution.

When he reached level 50 and both of them had transformed, he could condense them. He just had to choose one first, which made him a little hesitant.

"Speaking of which, how did those people practice in the beginning? There were no such things as soul cores back then."

"The soul core appears because the soul power in the body has reached its limit, so it condenses into something like this to better carry the soul power."

"What did they do before they had soul cores?"

Lin Xingyu slowly pondered it, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, and he looked at those ancient meditation methods.

Each of these meditation methods may have very different meridian routes taught by different teachers, but they all have one thing in common, which is that they are centered on the martial soul.

"So, those people in the past, after filling their bodies with soul power, put it into their martial souls? Everything is centered around the martial soul. Doing so can not only solve the problem of soul power, but also strengthen one's understanding of the martial soul, and even promote the evolution of one's martial soul?"

"In the later stages, these insights are sufficient. Can I directly transform the virtual into the real? Using the false to cultivate the true?"

"This should be the route of the first generation of Poseidon."

"Then soul cores appeared. This must be another path discovered by those with less talent."

"After all, forcing it directly into a martial spirit can easily lead to death. This requires too high a level of talent from the spirit master."

Lin Xingyu couldn't help but have an epiphany in his heart. Perhaps this is the orthodox path for soul masters. No! It should be said that the orthodox path for high-level soul masters to reach the level of Titled Douluo is that soul cores are better in the early stages.

It can only be said that the two paths have their own merits, and there is no question of who is right or wrong.

Lin Xingyu quietly sensed the vortex of soul power and blood in his body.

In his eyes, everything inside his body was clearly visible. A self-operating soul power vortex appeared in his dantian, and the qi and blood throughout his body finally formed a qi and blood vortex near his heart.

Both are constantly accumulating strength.

The surrounding heaven and earth energy continued to gather towards him.

The aura on his body rose steadily bit by bit.

the next day.

When Lin Xingyu arrived in the classroom, many people in the class had already arrived.

After all, Shrek's rules are extremely strict.

When he came to the class, everyone looked at him. Everyone had witnessed Lin Xingyu's majesty yesterday.

In fact, the five people on the Young Talent List looked at Lin Xingyu with quite complicated expressions.

Lin Xingyu randomly chose a seat and sat down.

Soon Shen Yi and Wu Changkong walked into the classroom together.

Behind them were two people, a man and a woman.

The woman had blonde hair and blue eyes, and was over 1.6 meters tall. She had a slender figure, and her long legs were very eye-catching. She had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but the expression on her face was a little cold.

The man can only be described as white and fat, with a height and waist circumference of more than 1.8 meters.

Wu Zhangkong stood aside as Shen Yi walked up to the podium and said solemnly, "Before class starts today, I'd like to introduce two new students to you."

"These two used to be in the inner courtyard. This year, the inner courtyard was restructured, and all those who were under the age limit and under cultivation were transferred to the outer courtyard."

"Ye Xinglan, a powerful attack-type combat spirit master and a fourth-level mecha manufacturer. Xu Lizhi, a food-type spirit master."

Looking at these two people, Lin Xingyu couldn't help but be stunned. Didn't these two people come in a month after school started?

Why is it so much earlier this time? Where did the linkage effect come from?

What Lin Xingyu didn't know was that yesterday's exam video was uploaded. After watching it, the people from the Poseidon Pavilion looked at the students they had already recruited and immediately kicked them out in advance...

After all, if the two of them entered the examination hall, they would probably be cannon fodder. Lin Xingyu had inadvertently shortened their lives by half a month.

Tang Wulin was completely shocked when he saw the fat man. He really didn't expect that Xu Lizhi had become so plump after just a few years of not seeing him.

Ignoring the crowd's reactions, Shen Yi continued, "Later, each class committee will count the number of students in your major and report them to the corresponding association. After joining the various associations of the academy, you will enjoy a series of preferential policies. In addition, it is also the place where you can study secondary professions. If you don't want to join, you will have to pay to study wherever you go."

"Everything is said and done. Teacher Wu will teach you next." After saying this, Shen Yi nodded towards Wu Changkong and walked down from the podium.

Xu Lizhi seemed happy to see Lin Xingyu and the others, but he glanced at Ye Xinglan, who had a cold face beside him, and then he shut up and followed Ye Xinglan to find a place to sit down.

Wu Zhangkong walked directly to the podium and swept his eyes over the entire class. A cold aura enveloped the entire classroom, and the temperature in the classroom seemed to drop a little.

"Your proximity to Shrek Academy means that your basic martial spirit training courses have already established their own paths. If you have any questions about martial spirits, you can come to me or Teacher Shi after class. These are not taught in the formal curriculum. Today, let's focus on mecha manufacturing."

Ignore the questions from the crowd below.

Wu Zhangkong said calmly, "Although battle armor and mechas appear very different, their underlying theories are ultimately the same."

"The difference between the two is that battle armor is for martial spirits to wear, representing inner transformation, while mechas are for humans to wear. I'm letting you understand mechas so that we can prepare for what's next. Let's start with the design principles..."

The general theory of mecha manufacturing explained by Wu Changkong involved all aspects, unlike the current breakdown. What he said was more like connecting several aspects together, with some of the meaning of soul mentors ten thousand years ago.

Hearing this, the people below seemed to be thinking about something.

Before the get out of class ended, Wu Changkong and Shen Yi completed the statistics of all the secondary occupations in the class and left a group of class committee members behind.

What makes people feel sad here is that Xie Xie was unable to keep his position as a class committee member and was snatched away by Ye Xinglan.

After all, his level was just barely enough to become a fourth-level mecha manufacturer, while Ye Xinglan had already reached this level a long time ago.

Faced with Ye Xinglan's sniping, he had to step down and let others take over.

There are a total of 106 students in Class 1 of the first grade, including the two new students.

"This is the previous statistical result of the secondary professions of the entire class. Please take it to the various associations to register."

After explaining the task, the two turned around and left the classroom.

Listening to the tasks assigned by Wu Changkong, Lin Xingyu picked up the information and forged a total of nine people, including the trained Wang Jinxi. The number of people in the remaining three secondary professions was very equal.

Forging is relatively the most energy-demanding and the most difficult to improve. Unless one is really talented in it, no one would normally choose it.

After all, if you want to become a battle armor master, the most convenient secondary occupations are mecha design and mecha manufacturing. The battle armor designed by mecha design is the most suitable for you, and mecha manufacturing is to make the battle armor by yourself.

Mecha maintenance will save a lot of time in the early stages, but it will be more difficult to integrate it with your own battle armor in the later stages and will require more resources.

For many soul masters with resources, this is a very quick shortcut.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Xu Xiaoyan, who had become a fourth-level mecha repairman in less than three years.

Lin Xingyu looked at it carefully and finally decided to follow the plan in his mind, bringing together people with similar secondary occupation levels, and did not choose to create a grouping that forced equal strength.

Force the strength of each group to be as even as possible, so that people with higher secondary occupation levels will be dragged down by people with lower secondary occupation levels.

Lin Xingyu put himself in their shoes and thought about it. If he were in this situation, he would definitely be furious. What a lousy teammate! This would only cause a bunch of conflicts and have no other benefits.

For example, I am a third-level mecha designer and you are a first-level blacksmith. What use do I have for you?

It would be better to just let the strong play with the strong, and the weak play with the weak.

As for making battle armor, those who are of low level and can't even touch the edge of the battle armor should not drag others down. They should find ways to build good relationships with other classmates and ask others for help.

If it really doesn't work, go to a secondary professional association to learn. If you have strong abilities, you will always find a way out.

Seeing Lin Xingyu's distribution plan, everyone present remained silent.

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue's expressions were quite calm, and no changes could be seen.

Although Ye Xinglan's expression was as cold as ever, she looked at Lin Xingyu from time to time. She had naturally heard about yesterday's battle. Although she estimated that she could not beat Lin Xingyu, who had four ten thousand year soul rings, she still wanted to spar with him.

Wu Siduo sat leaning against the back of the chair, her arms folded across her chest, one hand playing with her long red hair, and also listening to Lin Xingyu with a faint expression.

As a rare genius born in Xingluo City who only appears once in a century, Wu Siduo has always been proud of her own martial arts soul fusion skills, which are rarely seen in soul masters in history.

Until he met Lin Xingyu here, his own martial soul fusion technique was easily broken, and all his glory seemed dimmed beside him.

Lin Xingyu glanced around and said with a smile, "The personnel have been assigned. Tang Wulin, you go to the Blacksmith Association. Gu Yue, you go to the Mecha Designers Association. Wu Siduo, you go to the Mecha Repair Association. Ye Xinglan, you go to the Mecha Manufacturers Association. Report mine as well."

After saying that, he took out a badge of a level 5 mecha maker.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xinglan came back to his senses from his own world and felt a little confused. You are already a level five mecha manufacturer, why do you still keep this position?

He couldn't help but say coldly: "Why don't you become a mecha manufacturing committee member?"

"I'm already the class monitor." Lin Xingyu couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, everything has been arranged. Let's all go our separate ways." Lin Xingyu directly distributed the information in his hand to everyone.

The tasks had been distributed, and Lin Xingyu turned around and left.

After a long while, Wu Siduo said quietly, "So he doesn't have to do anything and just arrange things for us?"

"Damn it! I want to be a squad leader too. It's so cool to just get contribution points without doing any work."

The four of them looked at each other, Gu Yue left first, followed closely by Wu Siduo and Ye Xinglan.

Tang Wulin was the last to leave.

Lin Xingyu had just returned to the door of his dormitory and opened his room with his student card when he suddenly froze in place.

An oval-shaped fat man was sitting in the room practicing. When he saw Lin Xingyu coming back, he looked at Lin Xingyu with a confused look on his face.

"Xu Lizhi! Do you live here?" Lin Xingyu couldn't help but ask.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Xu Lizhi's expression quickly turned into surprise. He smiled and said, "Not bad. I didn't expect that I would be in the same room with you."

"Come to Shrek, I'll treat you to a delicious meal."

Lin Xingyu could only laugh and cry at this. Even in this situation, you still insist on eating every day. I can only say that you are worthy of being like this.
