Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 134 The Three, Six, and Nine Classes

Those were strange, crimson eyes that stunned Gu You until he came to his senses and realized it was Yuan En.

It's a strange feeling; from a distance, it seems ordinary, but up close, it's captivating.

However, Gu You still needs to give way again; he doesn't have heterochromia.

Even though he already knew the answer, Yuanen still found it hard to believe Gu Youhui's reply. How many geniuses have there been throughout history? And those who have mastered forging are even rarer.

"One piece of spirit-forged metal, five thousand contribution points, no yearly subscription, deal?" Yuan En looked at Gu You.

Five thousand? Gu You was surprised. This was more than what he could get with contribution points at Shrek Academy. How could this girl be so silly?

Gu You looked at Yuan En in front of him and shook his head. "I don't lack contribution points. Besides, where did you get so many contribution points as a work-study student?"

"I can get it, promise me, okay? None of the finished ores from the academy are suitable for me," Yuanen persisted, unwilling to give up.

"Fine, I promise you, I won't charge you anything, but you have to do me a favor later," Gu You said in a deep voice.

No fees? That means no contribution points to Gu You. Yuan En couldn't understand what kind of help could be worth so many spirit forging ores in the future.

"Thank you," Yuan En said softly.

Gu You just chuckled, "I can't forge for you right now. When I have some free time, tell me what kind of ore you need, and I'll forge it for you when I'm making my own things."

Yuan En nodded. He wasn't in a hurry. From the current perspective, he had indeed gained a great advantage.

Just as Gu You was about to leave, he seemed to remember something. "What do you want to forge?"

Yuan En paused for a moment, "I don't really know much about it. I want to have a pair of boxing gloves made. Can you recommend one for me?"

Gu You frowned. "Crafting gauntlets? Are you planning to fuse them with your hands when you make battle armor later? While it sounds like a good idea, the chances of it working are slim."

"I do have that kind of thought," Yuanen indicated.

"What is your martial soul? Does your hand change when you use your martial soul?" Gu You asked again.

"Titan Ape." Yuanen hesitated for a moment before finally saying it.

Although we already know what Yuanen's martial soul is, the thought of a young girl using such a martial soul still inevitably brings to mind the image of a female bodybuilder.

Although Yuanen had a second martial soul, those who know about martial souls understand that it's already a miracle he's still alive.

"It's not easy to do," Gu You replied seriously. He wasn't lying. As the king of soul beasts in ancient times, the Titan Giant Ape could unleash enough power to shatter any metal in a short period of time when using this martial soul.

"What should we do then?" Yuan asked.

Gu Youdao said, "Then you've come to the right person. Other blacksmiths really won't work. The best way is to use spirit forging of first-grade metal. High-grade spirit forging metal will integrate into your body. No matter how much your body changes, it will change with you. But this requires certain conditions: your blood sacrifice."

Yuan En smiled with satisfaction, "Then I thank you very much."

Gu You waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

"Let me ask you a small question. What secrets do we work-study students have?" Gu You didn't really want to ask this question, but he was genuinely curious. Who could remember these details from the original plot? Believing that knowing is better than not knowing, he asked Yuan En.

Yuan En pondered, "We work-study students are a strange bunch. The academy recruits work-study students like this: generally, those who fail the entrance exam but have a special skill can become work-study students, or some students with special characteristics can also become work-study students. In Shrek Academy, there are many precedents of top-level existences among work-study students. For example, Elder Feng of the Shrek Forging Association was a work-study student. Back then, he graduated from the outer academy at the age of thirty-four thanks to his forging skills. He was not qualified to enter the inner academy, but at the age of thirty-four, he successfully broke through the barrier of the sixth-level forger, completed his first soul forging work, and was promoted to the seventh-level saint craftsman. Only then was he exceptionally admitted to the inner academy. In the following twenty years, he rose from the initial sixth-ring cultivation to the ninth-ring titled Douluo. As an eighth-level saint craftsman, he is the existence with the highest forging level in the academy and has a transcendent status."

"In the eyes of ordinary students, we work-study students are someone you absolutely cannot offend, because they don't know what we are good at. Work-study students either fail to graduate, or once they graduate, 30% of them can be admitted to the inner academy. This percentage is higher than that of ordinary students. Of course, we also receive more training."

"When the academy first established the work-study system, it was to create an opportunity for students who had special talents in a certain area but were not strong overall to enter Shrek Academy. But now, through the efforts of generations of work-study students, the term 'work-study student' has become a powerful synonym in the outer academy."

Gu You suddenly realized what was happening, and he smiled foolishly.

"What are you laughing at?" Yuan En asked.

"In the past, everyone said that teaching should be equal. Now that I've seen more of the world, I never thought that even the top academy on the continent would divide students into different classes." Gu You sighed. Even if it's for the purpose of cultivating geniuses, from the perspective of normal people, it's absolutely unfair. It splits some people from a large group, and then you tell them that they are the most special and should not be with the rest of the group. How do you think the whole group feels when they find out?

The value of ordinary people can never compare to that of Soul Masters. This is an eternal law in the Douluo world, especially for powerful and talented Soul Masters.

If the Federation had to choose between saving an ordinary city or a Contra player, who do you think it would choose? Or, given the choice, who would you choose?

"Any other questions?" Yuan asked.

"That's all." Gu You left.

Watching him leave, Yuanen thought of Gu You's words, "Divided into three, six, and nine classes."

"He really is different."

"Wait, how could I forget? I'm a Level 3 mecha designer! Maybe I can help him in some way... Oh well, with his forging level so high, how could he lack a mecha designer? He'd probably be available anytime he needs..."

Gu You walked to the main teaching building and headed towards the work-study student dormitory. Just as he passed through the woods, he looked up and gazed in one direction.

At the edge of the woods, facing the direction of the work-study students' dormitory, sat a person.

He wore a green Shrek Academy uniform, and his greasy blond hair was neatly combed back.

The blond boy also noticed Gu You.

"So you are too..."
