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

Chapter 72 How can you sleep at your age?

The sky was already filled with stars, and the true light seemed to have faded away. Gu You returned to his dormitory and spoke to Wu Changkong, his words a mixture of truth and falsehood, but he certainly revealed his feelings.

Now it's time to open the blind boxes.

He refused to believe that Yao Yao, the author of "The Lone Warrior," who had been leading the Douluo song world for countless millennia, couldn't possibly not be popular.

While the technology of the previous world might not have been as advanced as that of the Douluo world, in terms of songs, art films, and the like, the previous world completely crushed it. It wasn't until ten thousand years later that Douluo stars began to truly become popular. Right now, it's just pure garbage. Who would want to be a star? That person must have something wrong with their brain. What do the people of Douluo revere? It's Tang Sanzang, the old devil of Shrek Academy for tens of thousands of years, and the "deeply affectionate man" of the Spirit Pagoda.

Gu You opened the video app, covered his eyes with both hands, and turned on Do Not Disturb mode. In short, this was a huge gamble!

Slowly opening his eyes, Gu You seemed to see a golden light...

A staggering 100 million!

Over 30 million views—what does that mean? And this is just one day's data. Although there are precedents of ancient games paying for traffic, such data is still incredibly high.

The screen was filled with "6" comments, I don't know why they were typing "6", but Gu You was overjoyed. He could make a lot of money just from this video, and he was also selling the song.

Upon opening the comments section, Gu You was momentarily stunned. Over 300,000 likes, from the official Federal account…

The bidding in the comments section was fierce. Scrolling down, the first netizen bid 100,000 Federal Coins, but that wasn't the most important thing. The fiercest bidding was at the top. Gu You made a fortune this time. The official platform account of the Spirit Pagoda was also bidding, 80 million. Shrek Academy and Tang Sect also participated, but their bids were very low. After all, who would be willing to spend 100 million to buy a song?

Believe it or not, someone actually did it.

The official account of the Sun and Moon Federation has offered 100 million!

It was four o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, Gu You was still training in the Ascension Platform, but no one dared to bid anymore. After all, who would dare to go against the Federation? The power of a country rests with the main ruling group.

Gu You said the auction would end in the early hours of this morning, and he naturally kept his word. But he didn't understand why the Federation wanted to buy this song.

Gu You opened the private chat and found that the Sun and Moon Federation had sent him two messages. The first message was an image, which was basically a contract. It clearly stated that the right to use this song would belong to the Federation and that he could not use it himself. The second message was an electronic contract. Gu You only needed to fill in his main information as a citizen of the Federation, sign it electronically, and then provide his bank account number. The official would use the resources of the national bank to transfer 100 million to Gu You.

That's a real 100 million! Gu You's heart was filled with turmoil. Had his first small goal been achieved just like that?

After a flurry of activity, I finally filled out my citizen card information, signed it, and sent it to the authorities. Now I just have to wait for news tomorrow. As long as the money arrives in my account tomorrow, the contract will be complete.

……

"Tang Wulin! How can you sleep at your age?"

The sudden noise startled Tang Wulin from his slumber. He sat up abruptly and realized that Wu Changkong was sitting opposite him, his gaze quite unpleasant. He had originally intended to wait for Tang Wulin to wake up on his own, but he hadn't expected him to sleep for so long. Class was almost starting, so he had to forcibly wake Tang Wulin. This was the prime of his youth, the best time to improve. He couldn't afford to give up because of something; he had to strive, he had to persevere!

"Teacher Wu, you..." Tang Wulin looked at him in surprise, and instantly realized that Teacher Wu must have stayed up all night with him. Warmth welled up in his heart, and he quickly got out of bed.

Wu Changkong looked at him and said, "There's not enough time. Don't wash up yet. Get dressed and go downstairs. Your soul spirit has evolved. You can try to see how your soul skills have changed." After saying that, he stood up, patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder, and walked out.

Soul evolution?

Tang Wulin was completely stunned. Soul spirits had always been a sore point for him. Every time he sparred with his companions, he would see that they all had hundred-year-old yellow soul spirits, while he only had a ten-year-old white one. How could he not feel bad? He was competitive too!

Yesterday, Xie Xie mentioned that the Spirit Ascension Platform might be able to improve the rank of a soul spirit, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, it was a bit too legendary.

Teacher Ke Wu wouldn't lie to herself!

With a flash of light, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was activated, and a halo rose up beneath its feet.

The original white color disappeared, replaced by a soul ring that shimmered with a soft yellow glow.

Yellow, a century! A century-old soul ring!

The little golden light emerged and remained perched on Tang Wulin's shoulder. Tang Wulin raised his hand, and the golden light climbed up. Seeing its obvious change, Tang Wulin's vision suddenly became blurry.

There was a time when he was tormented by this little golden light. The money he had saved up from three years of hard training and forging was used to buy a defective product. At that time, he even despaired. What strong willpower it took for him to persevere! Now, his bad luck has finally turned around. The golden light is no longer useless. It has evolved! A hundred-year soul spirit. This means that his second soul skill no longer needs to buy a soul ring. He can evolve successfully with the golden light alone. The money saved will give him more confidence in buying spiritual objects to break through the second seal in the future.

Thinking of this, Tang Wulin let out a long breath, feeling a sense of sudden enlightenment.

……

Gu You was in a very good mood today and started cultivating early. It was only six o'clock when he suddenly rushed out of his dormitory, muttering "One hundred million! One hundred million!!"

Arriving at the Donghai Academy's cafeteria, to be honest, Gu You always felt like he couldn't control his appetite. Sometimes he could eat more than ten "tons", while other times he would be full after eating only a little. He didn't know why.

After a hearty meal, Gu You headed to Class Zero's classroom.

"Tell me your feelings about yesterday's Ascension Platform," Wu Changkong said calmly to the six students in the classroom from behind the podium.

Zhang Yangzi had dark circles under his eyes today, clearly indicating he hadn't slept well last night, as did Wang Jinxi. The difference was that Zhang Yangzi's was due to depression, while Wang Jinxi had a nightmare. He couldn't forget the extreme cold he felt when the human-faced spider pierced his body—a cold that emanated from the depths of his soul. At that moment, he truly felt his life was about to end; that terrifying feeling was unforgettable.

Gu Yue's complexion was normal, and she didn't look any different.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie both looked excited, especially Tang Wulin. Soul evolution—what could be more exciting than that?

"Let's proceed in the order we left the battlefield yesterday, Zhang Yangzi!" Seeing that no one was willing to speak up, Wu Changkong called on him directly.

Gu You shuddered. He was sitting behind Gu Yue. The classroom was large, with only six desks. In short, Gu You had a sense of déjà vu about the scene.
