Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 119 Preparation
Hearing Lin Xingyu's words of rejection without hesitation, without even listening to his request, Yuan Enhui's lips twitched slightly.

Upon reflection, she realized she had already gained a lot, and making further demands would indeed be excessive. After all, she couldn't see anything worth studying about that demonic power.

With a soft sigh, Yuan Enhui continued, "I'm already level 40. I heard that you and Gu Yue from the same class are very close. I'd like to ask you for help. Could you get me a spot in the Soul Tower from her?"

"Or you could help me contact Gu Yue, and I'll go and trade with Gu Yue myself."

Hearing this, Lin Xingyu glanced at Yuan Enhui with some surprise. Her progress was quite good, about a week faster than in the original timeline. It seemed she had been working hard recently.

Lin Xingyu nodded and said, "That's no problem, but how did you know that Gu Yue had this way?"

“There are no secrets in this world. Your names are already known to many people in the outer courtyard, and the news that she is a disciple of Her Majesty Tianfeng has also spread.” Yuanen Yehui answered Lin Xingyu’s question while carefully tidying up the mecha design blueprints on the table.

Lin Xingyu nodded in realization. If more than three people know about something, it's no longer a secret.

"I'll talk to Gu Yue about it. Whether it works out or not depends on her, but it shouldn't be a big problem. You can talk to her yourself later. Prepare the metal yourself and forge it on your day off."

Yuan Enhui nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Thank you! If it succeeds, I'll owe you a favor. I'll collect everything as soon as possible and come find you then." Yuan Enhui finished speaking, stood up, packed up, and prepared to leave.

"Aren't you going to stay a little longer, or are you going back to face another angel?" Lin Xingyu couldn't help but tease.

"Go meditate. As for that guy, just beat him up a few more times." Yuan Enhui's tone turned cold at the end.

Lin Xingyu stood up and stepped aside, smiling as he said, "Remember to let me know when the time comes so I can come and see what's going on."

"Oh, one last thing, if you're still using a female voice, then don't dress up as a man, or either dress up as a woman and use a female voice, or dress up as a man and use a male voice." Lin Xingyu couldn't help but give Yuanen his advice.

The reason is that Ye Hui is undoubtedly a very beautiful woman, and at the age of fifteen, she has almost fully grown up thanks to the promotion of soul power.

But her feminine voice while dressed as a man always gave Lin Xingyu a creepy feeling.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Enhui, who had walked to the door, couldn't help but turn back and give Lin Xingyu a smile.

Lin Xingyu felt uneasy no matter how he looked at the smile that a man with only the appearance gave him.

……

The next day, Wu Changkong continued to lecture on the basics of mecha manufacturing.

Shrek Academy's teaching pace is quite fast. Although classes are only held in the morning, many things are only taught once, which can be described as cramming education. Whether you can learn it or keep up is not taken into consideration.

After all, this place operates on a survival-of-the-fittest system; if you can't keep up, you can only blame yourself. The academy has already taught all the knowledge.

"I believe you have all gained a certain understanding of the academy and your classmates and teachers over the past few days. Before class begins, I would like to announce something: in two weeks, our first-year students will be having an exchange activity with the academy's second-year students. This activity will be comprehensive, covering forging, mecha design, mecha manufacturing, mecha repair, and most importantly, practical combat."

"In addition, to increase the enthusiasm of every student, all students who perform well in this competition will receive extra credits and contribution points. The actual competition will be a seven-on-seven team battle. We will first select students within the class. All students who are willing to participate can come to me to register after class."

As soon as Wu Changkong finished speaking, the class erupted in excitement. Contribution points were the academy's currency, and academic credits were crucial for their graduation; no one would complain about having too many of either.

After a brief period of excitement, most of the class turned their attention to Lin Xingyu, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

With him on the team, almost everyone else is no match for him. Basically, whichever team he's on is guaranteed to win.

After class, all the students in Class 1 of Grade 1 who were interested in participating in this exchange activity registered with Wu Changkong.

After collecting everyone's names, Wu Changkong handed the list directly to Lin Xingyu.

"You can choose your teammates for the seven-on-seven team battle yourself. I don't think anyone in the class has any complaints about you. My requirements for you are simple: win the match against the second-year students, and then I will apply for a match against the third-year students. Win it nicely." Wu Changkong finished instructing Lin Xingyu, glanced at the members of the class, and continued.

"I have entrusted this matter entirely to Lin Xingyu. If you have any requests, just tell him directly. If you disagree with his arrangements, you are welcome to challenge him."

After saying that, Wu Changkong turned around and left.

Very good, this is very much in line with Shrek Academy's consistent style, it's all about the winner taking all the credit.

Instantly, all eyes in the class turned to Lin Xingyu.

I felt excited, eager, envious, and even a little jealous.

But as time passed, no one dared to raise any objections to him.

The image of him dominating the entire field not long ago is still fresh in everyone's memory.

Lin Xingyu single-handedly won over all the hundreds of geniuses in the class. As long as his decisions weren't utterly absurd, no one would stand up to oppose them.

The feeling of having absolute power and making decisions at will is incredibly satisfying.

Well, it's just a very minor official position...

Lin Xingyu's gaze swept carefully over everyone in the class.

Wu Siduo's expression remained quite calm. She was very confident in herself, and in terms of strength, she was second only to Lin Xingyu.

She had clearly heard Wu Changkong's request to Lin Xingyu. For both reason and emotion, Lin Xingyu would not let go of such a top-tier combatant as herself.

Although Luo Guixing's expression remained calm, it had lost some of its gentleness and the initial high spirits.

But the group seemed unusually calmer, as if they had grown from the setbacks they had suffered.

Ye Xinglan's expression remained aloof, but there seemed to be some tension on her face.

After all, in Ye Xinglan's view, he was from the inner court, but if even the strongest team of his grade from the outer court didn't choose him, it would be a huge embarrassment.
