Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 72 Coming
Time passed quickly. Four hours later, the soul guide bus slowly stopped and arrived at Tianhai City, the largest city on the East Coast.

Lin Xingyu ignored the playfulness of the people in Class Zero at the back, but got off the soul guide bus directly and looked at Tianhai City carefully.

As the location of the Federation’s largest port, there is even a Federation Navy stationed outside Tianhai City, and huge warships can be vaguely seen.

The army and the navy are two completely different feelings. Seeing those steel behemoths, Lin Xingyu felt excited and wanted to get one or two of them.

Lin Xingyu had been to Tiandou City and Mingdu. Mingdu gave him the feeling of Night City in Cyberpunk, full of technology. Although Tiandou City's walls were a bit ridiculous, it still gave people a sense of majesty and grandeur. Tiandou City was like an ancient imperial palace.

Looking at Tianhai City at this moment, Lin Xingyu had a different feeling.

Lin Xingyu couldn't think of a specific description for the moment. If he had to describe it, he felt that this place was very similar to Liyue in the game.

Both are built on the side of a mountain and are port cities.

After the handover between the Donghai City official who led the team and the Tianhai City official.

Wu Changkong brought a few people directly to a luxurious hotel. Half of the hotel was in the sea, so they could experience the sea firsthand.

Wu Changkong arranged accommodation for several people, and Lin Xingyu once again managed to share a room with Wu Changkong. After they had lunch at the buffet provided by the hotel, Wu Changkong went out directly. He wanted to talk to the teachers from Haidong College.

Fortunately, the team he was going to form was not the main team representing Donghai College. In addition, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi had worked under him before, so it was not difficult to get them over.

Otherwise, no teacher would be happy if their students went to compete for other schools.

Finally, after relying on his own strength and hard work, and after persuading the other party with both threats and inducements, Wu Changkong successfully convinced the other party and returned to the hotel where they were staying with Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi.

Another room was opened next door for Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi to live in.

In the evening, Wu Zhangkong gathered everyone in Class Zero into his room.

"Golden Seal! Yangzi!" X2!

As soon as Tang Wulin and Xie Xie entered the room, they saw Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi standing there.

Tang Wulin's eyes instantly turned red, and he rushed forward like the wind. He tightened his arms and held Wang Jinxi tightly in his arms.

On the other side, Zhang Yangzi also gave Xie Xie a tight hug.

"You are here too!" Tang Wulin said in surprise.

Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi looked at each other and said with a smile, "Not only are we here, but we're also going to give you a big surprise."

"What surprise?" Xie Xie asked.

Just as Zhang Yangzi was about to answer, Wu Zhangkong spoke up, "Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Tianhai Alliance Competition. The draw for each team will also take place. The official competition begins the day after tomorrow. You will now participate in a seven-on-seven Spirit Master team competition. I have only one goal for you: to win the championship!"

After hearing Wu Zhangkong's words, Tang Wulin and the other three were stunned for a moment. Then Xie Xie smiled and said, "This is really a big surprise."

After a long separation, they gathered around each other instantly. Tang Wulin and the others' eyes sparkled with excitement, and they soon began chatting animatedly.

Everyone had a tacit understanding and did not mention the reason why Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi left.

After everyone calmed down, Wu Zhangkong said calmly, "Next, you can discuss tactics. Everything is up to you. Play freely."

"Yes!"

Wu Zhangkong then walked out of the room. It was time for dinner.

The students in Class Zero gathered together and had a lively dinner.

The guests in this hotel are basically people who come to participate in the competition. They often gather together in groups, and the atmosphere is extremely lively.

After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms and took the time to meditate.

After Lin Xingyu returned to the room, he found that Wu Changkong had not come back yet, so he sat cross-legged on his bed, quietly admiring the scenery outside, and began to change the plot.

Lin Xingyu summoned Aya out with a casual move. As soon as Aya came out, she looked at Lin Xingyu warily, with an angry expression on her face. Her pair of green eyes blinked, as if she was about to cry at any time.

Seeing Aya Lin Xingyu like this, he couldn't help but be speechless, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to come out to work, how about giving you a few days off?"

After hearing Lin Xingyu's words, the expression of almost crying on Aya's face disappeared instantly. She flew happily in the air, came to Lin Xingyu's shoulder, and gently kissed his cheek.

Lin Xingyu just laughed softly.

"Come and see if it's beautiful out there," Lin Xingyu said, pointing out at the sea. At this moment, the sun had quietly disappeared behind the mountains, and the afterglow was as soft as a veil, coating everything in the world with a warm golden glow, the last lingering trace of the day.

"Yeah! (It looks good!)"

"It's a pity that the sun has already set. This location is the best viewing spot when the sun rises in the morning, but it's not very nice at night."

"Ah! (Don't say that!)"

"Good, good, good, they all look good."

……

The next morning, I enjoyed the beautiful sunrise over the sea with Aya.

The opening ceremony of the Tianhai Alliance Competition was officially held at the Tianhai Stadium.

This is a major event in the thirty-six nearby cities.

Each team entered the stadium directly through a dedicated passage and waited.

The stadium outside was already full of people, and the stands were already full long ago. The noisy sounds kept echoing in my ears.

Some people were already lining up outside before daybreak. Lin Xingyu and the others were standing in the East Sea City delegation. After all, East Sea City was the second-largest city in the Tianhai Alliance. Even though it had always been second, it still had the proper presence.

The opening ceremony of the Tianhai Alliance Competition was just a formality. Whether it was the drawing of lots or anything else, it was all arranged by the teachers of Donghai College. Lin Xingyu and the others just stood there as puppets. They chatted idly.

Looking at the high platform that was quickly built in the center of the venue, Xie Xie explained to Tang Wulin that it was an exhibition match with Shrek later. Xie Xie said that he was quite calm about Tang Wulin's behavior.

Several people were discussing heatedly how long the previous champion could last before being swept off the stage. Lin Xingyu resisted the urge to reveal the spoilers and said nothing.

"I'm so hungry, does anyone have anything to eat?"

Several people turned around and saw a plump, fair-skinned boy darting around in the crowd like a nimble little fish. His sparkling eyes were filled with desire, and he tilted his head back and asked loudly to the people around him.

When Lin Xingyu saw the fat boy's shit-green school uniform with a little monster printed on it, he probably understood that the fat boy in front of him must be Xu Lizhi.

Lin Xingyu had no intention of going forward to make friends. If nothing unexpected happened, Ye Xinglan would be coming soon. Besides, there was nothing in his storage soul guide for the little fat boy to eat. Lin Xingyu seldom carried food in his storage soul guide. It basically contained some pills and water. Even in extreme environments, he could survive for a long time by relying on these things.

Xu Xiaoyan glanced at Lin Xingyu, then turned to look at Tang Wulin. She gently covered her lips with her hand and whispered to Xie Xie beside her, "Where did this other foodie come from? Do foodies attract each other? I've never seen so many big eaters except here."

Xie Xie chuckled upon hearing this: "This is very useful again. I haven't seen so many foodies there."

Lin Xingyu never took this kind of daily joke among his friends seriously. After all, his appetite was really a bit scary.

Tang Wulin didn't care. He even liked the title. A foodie might feel inferior, but when a group of foodies get together and feel inferior, it's others who are the ones feeling inferior.

Another fat boy with the potential to become a foodie appeared before him. Tang Wulin took the initiative to greet him and took out a dried fish from his storage bracelet and handed it to him.

"This dried fish is for you to eat."

The little fat boy's eyes lit up, he caught it and started eating it in big mouthfuls, feeling very satisfied, and said thank you incoherently.

Seeing the little fat boy eating dried fish and thanking him at the same time, Tang Wulin instantly felt a sense of satisfaction. The big foodie successfully helped the little foodie, and he felt a sense of supporting the younger generation.

"Brother! Brother! Yours tastes better than ours! I'll treat you to a meal when you come to our place next time!" After the little fat man finished eating the dried fish, he looked at Tang Wulin pitifully and drew a few pancakes for Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin continued to pass the food to him helplessly while curiously asking, "Don't call me Big Brother. Judging from your appearance, you're here to participate in the Tianhai Alliance Competition. How old are you this year?"

In response to Tang Wulin's question, the little fatty revealed his true self: "My name is Xu Lizhi. I just turned ten. Everyone calls me a little foodie. I'm here to participate in the competition. This is my first time seeing the ocean, and I've also had a lot of delicious food here."

Tang Wulin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay. My name is Tang Wulin. You're a foodie, and there's another foodie over there. We can form a foodie alliance from now on."

Perhaps it was a resonance between foodies, Tang Wulin enthusiastically introduced the special seaside food to this pleasing little fat boy.

Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, Xie Xie and others gathered around. Those who came here to participate in the competition at this age are all talented.

Lin Xingyu looked at the little fat boy who kept eating. The more he looked, the more he looked like a big groundhog, but this groundhog was white and fat.

"Little Fatty, which school's team are you guys from?" Xie Xie asked curiously. "Why are you wearing such an ugly school uniform? How did you get here alone?"

Xu Lizhi said with a smile, "Our school uniforms are not ugly! I get hungry easily, so I came here looking for something to eat."

"Then you can put more nutritious foods like beef jerky and dried fish in your storage soul guide. When you are hungry in the future, you can take them out and eat them together."

Upon hearing about his area of ​​expertise, Tang Wulin immediately enthusiastically imparted his experience to the little fat boy.

But he never thought that since he would not gain weight due to his Golden Dragon King bloodline and Lin Xingyu would not gain weight due to martial arts, he thought that no one would gain weight. But this little fat guy might not be sure.

I believe I will give him a big surprise next time we meet.

Just as the two were exchanging communication information, a very pleasant but very cold voice came over.

"Little Foodie, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to be careful of others outside and don't get involved with those people? There are a lot of bad guys nowadays."

A few people turned around and saw a young girl walking towards them. The girl was also wearing shit-green clothes, but it looked very good on her. She had a golden ponytail tied behind her head, a pair of big blue eyes that were clear and bright, and her skin was fair and tender, with a jelly-like texture, youthful and lively.

Ye Xinglan.

"Sister Xinglan, I was wrong, but I was really hungry." Although the little fat boy admitted his mistake, he still ate the dried fish quickly with both hands.

Ye Xinglan walked over angrily, her expression even colder. She raised her hand and tapped the fat boy's nose, "Still eating! Still eating! It's our turn soon."

After saying this, he looked at Tang Wulin and the others with a cold look.

Wonderful! It's really wonderful! But you should have said that I'm here to collect yours. Lin Xingyu silently complained in his heart.

"When you are out, don't eat from anyone. Be careful of those with bad intentions." Ye Xinglan scolded the fat boy loudly while taking Xu Lizhi away.

Upon hearing her words, Tang Wulin and the others' expressions instantly turned grim. "It's fine for you to have your team members be on high alert when they're out, but to say it out loud in a place like this is way too overbearing!" Without even asking, you directly labeled someone's good intentions malicious. That's pretty arrogant, isn't it?
Just then, a broadcast sounded.

"Today's opening ceremony of the Tianhai Alliance Competition has concluded. Next, we will have an exhibition match. We are fortunate to have invited a team from Shrek Academy to have a cross-age exchange with the champions of our youth group from last year."

The two teams from Tianhai Alliance and Shrek Academy respectively stepped onto the competition stage from both sides, which was quickly built with the help of a large number of soul masters.

This is also where the performance competition will be held today.

The members of the Tianhai Alliance were all wearing silver uniforms. There were five men and two women. Their expressions were extremely solemn, and there was a hint of excitement in them.

The seven people from Shrek Academy were wearing green clothes. The five in the front looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the two in the back were Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan.

The two people at the back surprised everyone except Lin Xingyu.

As if noticing the gazes over here, Xu Lizhi gave this side an apologetic smile, while Ye Xinglan did not even look over here, as if no one was there.
