Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 40 I like being scolded
"You want to ask me why I did this, right?" Su Qiu quickly figured out the reason and explained, "I just thought it would be fun."

He did it because he thought it would be fun, since it wouldn't hurt anyone. The role-playing games he played with Na'er were the same. Both of them were willing participants, and it even helped to help Na'er overcome her introverted nature.

"Is that so?" Gu Yue nodded, completely misunderstanding the meaning. She added another entry to her observation diary about Su Qiu: Likes to be scolded.

Yeah, I'll look up how to win over this kind of person as soon as I get back.

The dean on the stage was somewhat relieved to see that Gu Yue had stopped Su Qiu. Gu Yue was such a sensible and good child.

After the temporary meeting, the students selected for Class Zero went to the dean's office.

"Sign this agreement."

Yu Zhen flipped his wrist and took out several agreements, distributing them to the five people.

The group was stunned. Yu Zhen explained, "Class Zero will allocate all resources to you. This agreement is to ensure that you can study here stably. Sign it."

After chatting with a few people and explaining things, Yu Zhen suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Su Qiu doesn't need to sign."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Su Qiu with strange expressions.

They initially thought Su Qiu was joking, but now they wondered if there was some real truth to it.
"What are you looking at?" Su Qiu said proudly, head held high. "Never seen a second-generation rich kid before? People with family connections are like this."

The most valuable and useful resource that Donghai Academy invests in Class Zero is the Spirit Ascension Platform. And the slots for this Spirit Ascension Platform are provided by the Donghai Spirit Transmission Tower.

Even if Su Qiu wasn't interested in Class Zero, the dean would still have to beg him to join. It's a matter of attitude.

After some hesitation, Wei Xiaofeng finally chose to withdraw, as he had other family arrangements.

After Wei Xiaofeng left, the personnel who would be joining Class Zero were confirmed.

Yu Zhen's stern expression instantly melted away, replaced by a gentle smile.

The speed at which this person changed their expression left the others speechless.

"Once you sign the agreement, you will be the core elite of the academy."

Yu Zhen said confidently, "We respect Wei Xiaofeng's choice, but he will definitely regret it in the future. Although Donghai Academy is not ranked high on the continent, it is the only intermediate soul master academy in this big city. With all the resources poured into you, even Shrek Academy may not be stronger than us."

These words put the group in a great mood. Just as they were about to celebrate, a voice interrupted.

Su Qiu was a knowledgeable and honest child. He retorted, "Are you bragging?"

Wu Changkong, standing to the side, cast an approving glance, and Su Qiu voiced his true feelings.

Yu Zhen remained unfazed, still smiling, as if he hadn't heard anything: "Alright, kids. That's enough for now. Get ready for your new life in Class Zero."

After the establishment of Class 0 in the first grade, the classroom was replaced with a separate, spacious room.

The dormitory was also changed from four people to one room to single room, with the same specifications as the teachers' dormitory. The rooms were next to each other, with a total of seven people including the class teacher, Wu Changkong.

Wu Changkong was also assigned a faculty suite next to the dormitory. The college gave him a day to settle in before classes officially started the next day.

"Brother Su, the three of us are all in the same dorm!" Zhang Yangzi happily put his arm around Su Qiu's shoulder. They originally shared a dorm room, so it was expected that they would be assigned adjacent rooms.

The order of their residences is: Wang Jinxi, Su Qiu, Zhang Yangzi, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue.

盯.
Zhang Yangzi, who was feeling happy, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. When he turned around, he saw Gu Yue staring intently at the room key in his hand.

He blinked, glanced at Gu Yue, then at Su Qiu. He seemed to understand something.

"Oh dear!" Zhang Yangzi slapped his forehead and asked Gu Yue, "Gu Yue, can I switch rooms with you? Your room has the best ventilation, I prefer it this way."

"Of course you can." Gu Yue's indifferent expression vanished, her face changing even faster than the dean's, and she smiled sweetly.

Su Qiu shook her head. It was just a few steps, surely it couldn't be that serious?

The next day, in the new classroom, Su Qiu's seating arrangement remained unchanged, like underlying code, by the window. Gu Yue, just like a machine, sat in front of him, occasionally turning her head to reveal her profile.

Su Qiu wondered if it was because she had gotten used to it, but she thought Gu Yue's profile looked better.

At this moment, Wu Changkong walked into the classroom and began the lesson: "Now that we've entered Class Zero, the curriculum will be adjusted compared to before."

"Since you just finished a match yesterday, your bodies need some time to recover. Today we'll have a theory lesson. Let's start with the mechs."

Mecha?

Everyone's spirits lifted.

Even Su Qiu perked up. He really liked both battle armor and mecha.

A suit of armor combined. A summoned mech.

Is there anything more handsome than this?

Not to mention that these two items greatly enhance a Soul Master's abilities. Even if they were completely useless and just for show, Su Qiu would still be happy to get a set.

Especially when wearing battle armor and summoning a large mech.

Regardless of whether it's reasonable or useful.

Let's just say he's handsome or not.

While lost in thought, Su Qiu suddenly remembered that Mu Ye seemed to be researching the combination of battle armor and mecha.

From this perspective, finding a master is the right thing to do in every way. Having a master who shares the same path is absolutely the best thing to do.

"This lesson will only cover some basic information about mechs, without going into depth, and the course content is limited."

Wu Changkong explained some basic knowledge about mecha, from its origins to its development and contemporary times.

"Next, let's talk about something else." Wu Changkong paused. "Battle Armor."

"Battle armor?" Several of the six were hearing about battle armor for the first time.

He explained the concept of Battle Armor and its far superior power enhancement compared to mechs. Wu Changkong continued, "The goal I've set for you is to become powerful Battle Armor Masters!"

“You all have this talent.”

"To become a powerful Battle Armor Master, you need to choose a second profession."

"Top-tier battle armor masters need a high degree of compatibility with their battle armor. To achieve this, you either need to design, manufacture, or repair it yourself; otherwise, it will be difficult to reach the pinnacle. Class Zero's goal is to help you become true powerhouses, while I am here to help you avoid detours."

After speaking, Wu Changkong answered the questions raised by the students one by one.

He finally gave a deadline: "You must choose before the third year, the earlier the better. You can also consider forging, Tang Wulin chose this path. The most important thing for top-level battle armor is forging technology. Moreover, a high-level second profession will help you obtain cultivation resources more easily in the future."

Wu Changkong was unaware that Su Qiu was also a blacksmith, since he had never revealed it.

"Teacher, when can we see the real battle armor?" Tang Wulin asked curiously.

"Whoever completes the first phase of practical training will see it," Wu Changkong began to promise.

He paused for a moment, then turned to Su Qiu and asked, "Su Qiu, you can see it now. Do you want to take a look?"

Su Qiu was different from others in Wu Changkong's heart. He never regarded her as a student.

Before Su Qiu could respond, Gu Yue frowned.

"No, teacher." Su Qiu waved his hand in refusal. He had already seen the battle armor with his own eyes, and it was Su Wuyan's three-word battle armor.

　I've always thought the most outstanding elements in the Douluo Continent III setting are the battle armor and mecha. They're really cool.
