Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 18 Opening Ceremony

Back in the dormitory, Lin Xingyu quickly entered a meditative state. His consciousness immersed in the spirit's space, merging with it, stimulating his own soul power and blood, absorbing the vital energy between heaven and earth.

Lin Xingyu was no longer a simple man, able to practice meditation and Qi and blood cultivation simultaneously. However, this spirit-focused cultivation method wasn't effective enough for Qi and blood training. However, it was extremely beneficial for the spirit, significantly accelerating the progress of the second awakening.

Lin Xingyu felt a sense of pleasure as he watched the light spots pass through his martial soul and merge into his own soul power and blood.

Lin Xingyu meditated quietly for the entire afternoon. Seeing Lin Xingyu's behavior, the other three felt that they were swept up in it, and they all immediately immersed themselves in meditation.

After meditating for an entire afternoon, when it was almost time for dinner, Lin Xingyu left the dormitory and headed for the playground. The playground of Donghai College was very large, and there were not many people there at the moment.

Lin Xingyu came to the playground to practice martial arts. From the outside, martial arts practice is just some simple movements. The essence lies in the breathing method to mobilize the power of qi and blood to strengthen the body. Therefore, Lin Xingyu is not afraid of being noticed by others. At most, he just feels that his qi and blood are vigorous.

Lin Xingyu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he instantly entered a state of high-dimensional vision. Everything around him slowed down, the floating dust in the air, the trembling leaves in the distance, all clearly visible, but he had no intention of paying attention to anything else. This time, his training focused on Qi and blood.

As his mind settled, Lin Xingyu activated the Qi and blood within him. Instantly, as if a spark had been dropped into a pool of oil, with a bang, his Qi and blood began to boil. Heat surged from his Dantian, whirring through his meridians. Wherever it passed, his skin burned and his muscles tensed. The scorching heat was overwhelming, like being plunged into a blazing furnace, every inch of his bones, every strand of his flesh, being tempered by the intense heat.

Lin Xingyu immersed himself in a surging flow of Qi and blood. His pores dilated to the utmost, like countless tiny mouths, greedily absorbing everything from the outside world. In an instant, the vital energy of heaven and earth, wrapped in the chill and vitality of the morning, poured in.

As soon as it entered his body, the vital energy was like a drop of boiling oil, plunging violently into the already scorching "pot"—his body. Instantly, it was like a hidden gunpowder barrel had been detonated, rumbling within, a violent reaction erupting. The already boiling energy and blood surged even more violently, the heat rising exponentially.

Lin Xingyu's skin was as white as snow, with a cool and smooth texture like jade. At first glance, one would mistake him for a finely crafted porcelain doll. But now his body had become rosy and shiny.

Half an hour later, Lin Xingyu stopped practicing the breathing method. After practicing for so long, he could practice the breathing method twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

However, there is still a long way to go before he can practice the breathing method all the time. I am afraid that he will have to wait until he reaches the Golden Body Realm to complete it.

After completing his training, he went to the restaurant for dinner. This time, he had a set meal for six. After dinner, he returned to the dormitory to continue meditating. At the same time, he released his second soul skill to nourish himself. The handsome and majestic armor made the three of them envious, even more than the envy for the two soul rings.

Lin Xingyu's second soul skill is called "Glass True Fire!" This soul skill allows Lin Xingyu to communicate with the fire element and release a unique flame with terrifying temperature. The released flame has a unique glass color.

This is a rare and unique flame with vitality. It can absorb the opponent's vitality to fuel combustion, and can also release vitality to heal injuries. This is probably because the source of the flame is the metal tempered in the flame and given life.

However, using fire to heal wounds is only 10% effective, while it is 90% effective in destroying them. Therefore, only the owner, Lin Xingyu, can use it to nourish himself.

Half an hour later, Lin Xingyu felt his fatigue eased, so he began to disperse the Glazed True Fire and began to meditate.

When the first rays of dawn were still gathering strength behind the clouds and the whole world was still on the edge of a deep sleep, Lin Xingyu had already gently opened his eyes and calmly ended his meditation.

He looked at his three roommates, who were still meditating, and did not disturb them. He went to the playground to start his morning breathing exercises.

At this time, there were only a few senior students running in the playground. Lin Xingyu's arrival attracted less attention than his golden-red eyes.

Half an hour later, Lin Xingyu finished his exercise, washed up, and went to the restaurant.

At nine in the morning, the opening ceremony of Donghai College was held in the square of Donghai College. It was the only time of year when all the students gathered together.

There are seven or eight hundred students in the intermediate department of Donghai College, while there are less than two hundred students in the senior department.

The intermediate department is like the compulsory education in junior high school, with no tuition fees, but a different system of study. The system of study in the intermediate college is six years, and students can try to enter the Advanced Soul Master College when they graduate from the sixth grade.

Just like compulsory education, soul masters near Donghai City who have graduated from junior college can go to Donghai College with their diplomas to study.

The compulsory education stage is responsible for teaching the basic knowledge of soul masters.

Advanced college is no longer compulsory education; admission requires passing a series of rigorous exams. It's just like high school in my previous life, only harder. From there, it's up to you to demonstrate your individual abilities.

"Students and teachers, hello everyone. I am Long Hengxu, the Dean of Studies at Donghai College. Today is the opening ceremony. Now, we would like to invite President Yu Zhen to speak."

The president of Donghai College was a man in his sixties, with ordinary appearance and a scholarly air. He spoke without notes for only a quarter of an hour before concluding his speech.

Everything the dean said was meaningless and was nothing more than encouragement to the students.

After the dean's joke, the class division ceremony began and the other students had already returned to their respective classes.

"Now we're going to have the class division ceremony. When I call out your name, please step out..."

"Lin Xingyu, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, Wei Xiaofeng, Wu Lang..."

As expected, Lin Xingyu heard his name in Class 1.

"Finally, here are the students from Freshman Class 5: Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, Yun Xiao..."

There are twenty-three people in the class, and they all look very energetic.

"Please ask the head teachers of each class to take their students back to their classes."

The five teachers each walked towards their own classes, and one of them walked towards Class 1.
