Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 128 Yali
Lin Xingyu smiled at the distance, then ignored the reaction on the other side and looked towards the distance.

The teachers were arriving one after another.

Leading the way was a stunningly beautiful woman in a light green dress. She appeared to be around thirty years old, radiating a sense of holiness and vitality. Her waist-length, dark green hair cascaded down her back, swaying gently as she moved. She exuded a gentle and compassionate aura. This was none other than the Holy Spirit Douluo, Ya Li.

Behind her followed several elders: Cai Yue'er, the outer courtyard dean, Zhuo Shi, Elder Li, and Feng Wuyu, all senior members of the Sea God Pavilion. They all lagged half a step behind Ya Li.

"Your Majesty!"

Wu Changkong and Shen Yi were the first to bow to Ya Li, and seeing their actions, the others followed suit.

Lin Xingyu also bowed to Ya Li. Although there were many abstract people and abstract things in Shrek Academy, this Holy Spirit Douluo was, in any case, a true saint.

At least this Holy Spirit Douluo isn't that abstract. As for the others, the level of abstraction among the outer court students is uncertain, while the remaining students are unknown and unseen, and therefore not so abstract...

This is a true being who is willing to sacrifice herself for others. When she chose to sacrifice herself, she did not know that she would be able to recover later with the help of the power of faith. Lin Xingyu has always admired this kind of person. After all, even the worst person hopes that everyone in the world except themselves is a good person.

"No need for formalities! I see that most people have arrived, so let's get started," Yali said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Changkong replied. Afterwards, Wu Changkong, Shen Yi, and the two homeroom teachers from the second year gathered together to arrange things on the field.

Holy Spirit Douluo turned around and sat in the main seat, but her gaze couldn't help but fall on the first-year students, where she met Lin Xingyu's eyes.

Lin Xingyu then turned his gaze elsewhere. He had been observing the entire scene with his "high-dimensional vision," and his gaze toward Ya Li had been a little too obvious.

Zhuoshi and Feng Wuyu, standing nearby, were bickering while trying to please Yali.

This exchange competition is a comprehensive and in-depth exchange.

It's not just a contest of Soul Master strength, but also an exchange of ideas about secondary professions.

The first match of the exchange competition was a contest for blacksmiths.

"Wu Lin, you'll play in the first match." Lin Xingyu directly chose to send Tang Wu Lin onto the field.

Tang Wulin nodded without hesitation. He was still quite confident in his forging skills. Apart from Lin Xingyu, who had great theoretical knowledge but had never actually practiced, he didn't care about anyone else.

After all, he could now be considered a level 5 blacksmith, and he even felt that even the class monitor couldn't beat him, considering how much time Lin Xingyu devoted to blacksmithing.
That's worth more than your own hard work and sweat.

Tang Wulin slowly walked out from the first grade, class one team and stepped onto the sparring arena.

……

"See this? This is my newly accepted disciple," Feng Wuyu said proudly.

"That's my grand-disciple!" Zhuoshi said proudly.

"Old man! What do you mean?!" Feng Wuyu said angrily.

That old man took advantage of him!
"Alright, stop being so childish, the competition has started." Ya Li frowned and said calmly, at this moment Ya Li really did sound like a kindergarten teacher.

The two irritable old men instantly calmed down, just like kindergarten children.

Ya Li glanced at Tang Wulin with some curiosity. He had a very high-level dragon bloodline, but she wondered why his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass instead of a dragon.

……

The referee on the competition stage is Shen Yi.

She watched Tang Wulin and He Xiaopeng from the second year walk onto the stage before announcing the rules of the competition. "The first sparring match will be about metal purification. Each of you will receive a piece of rare titanium crystal. Whoever purifies it better will win. The winner will receive 1,000 contribution points, and the first-year students will receive an additional 30% bonus."

Second graders are on average three years older than first graders, so the rules will naturally favor first graders.

He Xiaopeng, the forging committee member of Class 1, Grade 2, is a senior Level 4 forging master with rich forging experience. He chose to purify metal by vibration.

Besides being extremely hard, titanium crystal is also very brittle and has very low toughness; it can easily be damaged by excessive force.

Using vibration techniques for purification is safer.

Tang Wulin continued to use hammering. He took out his forging hammer and struck it repeatedly at a high frequency, trying to knock out the impurities in the titanium crystal little by little.

The two have their own styles; He Xiaopeng's methods are more sophisticated, while Tang Wulin's are more reliable. However, each method requires more time and effort.

As time slowly passed, He Xiaopeng quickly completed his forging. A ray of light, over a foot long, emanated from the titanium crystal, marking it as a top-grade forging after a thousand forgings. Meanwhile, Tang Wulin continued his forging steadily.

……

"Captain, Wu Lin doesn't seem to be doing so well?" Xu Xiaoyan looked over with some doubt.

Unlike others, Xu Xiaoyan still prefers to call Lin Xingyu "Captain".

"We've already won this match. Also, I told you to read up on the basics of other secondary professions in your spare time. You haven't never read them before, have you?"

Lin Xingyu looked at Xu Xiaoyan with a puzzled expression.

Xu Xiaoyan immediately turned her body to the side, stuck out her tongue shyly, and said in a coquettish tone, "Those things are too difficult. I only need to learn mecha repair. As for the others, I have you guys, Captain!"

"You agree, right, Sister Gu Yue!"

As she spoke, Xu Xiaoyan wrapped her arms around Gu Yue's arm and pressed herself against him.

For a moment, Gu Yue was left both amused and exasperated.

"Learning more will also benefit you. If you don't want to learn, you can go to the library with me more often in the future. Learning something will not hurt you. Mech repair also requires other basic knowledge."

Gu Yue said calmly.

Among the students who came out of Class Zero, Gu Yue and Xie Xie, perhaps influenced by Lin Xingyu, underwent some significant changes.

Xie Xie was working incredibly hard, completely unlike his previous carefree and irresponsible self.

Gu Yue's talent cultivation level increased rapidly, as if there were no bottlenecks to be seen, and she also awakened a new hobby: reading.

She didn't know when she developed this hobby, but she often went to the school library to browse around.

Because of the pursuit of strength, most of the items in the library are related to cultivation.

Lin Xingyu once went there and happened to see Gu Yue sitting in the library. He went up to her and found that Gu Yue was holding a history book.

I wonder what it would feel like for an existence that has lived longer than history to read history written by humans?
At Lin Xingyu's age, he can't imagine it right now.

On the arena, Tang Wulin delivered the final blow at the perfect moment.
