Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

And so Xu Yang's college life began.

In addition to studying his soul tool, Xu Yang also occasionally attends classes every day.

Although Xuan Ziwen granted him special permission not to attend classes, Xu Yang still found it somewhat interesting to look at the bewildered and ignorant eyes in the classroom.

It added some fun to his otherwise dull time.

It seems that what Xiao Hongchen said back then was indeed true.

Xu Yang can now recognize everyone in his class and call them by name.

The students in the class also became curious about this new student who only showed up for a few classes occasionally.

Among them was Xu Tianzhen, the youngest princess of the Sun and Moon Emperor, who was also Xu Tianran's younger sister.

"Xu Yang, where are you going after class?" This was a note thrown by Xu Tianzhen, with a curious expression drawn on it.

Xu Yang opened the note, read its contents without showing any expression, and then pulled out a pen to reply:

"I don't know, maybe he'll continue to cultivate or research soul tools."

Xu Yang carefully wrapped the note and threw it precisely in front of Xu Tianzhen.

Xu Tianzhen carefully looked around to make sure Xuan Ziwen hadn't noticed, then cautiously opened the note and her face fell when she saw its contents.

"This guy is so boring, but why doesn't he have to go to class? Even I, the princess, can't skip class."

"And my father told me to get closer to him, but that's too difficult! He's practically a block of wood..."

Xu Tianzhen silently complained to herself.

"But he's really handsome! And that Meng Hongchen is always hanging around Xu Yang all day long..."

Xu Tianzhen thought for a moment and then wrote on the paper.

"Xu Yang, do you want to come with me somewhere later? I promise it'll be a lot of fun. At least... much more interesting than you spending all your time buried in the lab."

Then, the blank paper, which was almost completely empty, was intercepted by someone else as it was being thrown toward Xu Yang's desk.

It's all just a dream in this mortal world!

She opened the note, glanced at its contents, and then continued writing:

"Where are we going to play? Can you take me and my brother with you?"

Then, without waiting for Xu Yang to stop him, he threw it back.

Xu Tianzhen was already annoyed that her note had been intercepted halfway, but before she could even open it, someone stopped her.

It was Xuan Ziwen. He had seen Xu Tianzhen secretly throwing the note a long time ago. Xuan Ziwen had originally intended to give her a chance, but he did not expect Xu Tianzhen to go too far.

Xu Tianzhen looked up and saw Xuan Ziwen with a gloomy face.

Knowing that her homeroom teacher had a bad temper, she stood up on her own initiative.

Seeing that Xu Tianzhen's attitude in admitting her mistake was good, Xuan Ziwen nodded and said:

"Xu Tianzhen, and... Meng Hongchen, you two will stand for the rest of the class. Also, write a 1,000-word self-criticism after class and submit it to me by tonight."

At first, Xu Tianzhen was very sad, but when she heard that Meng Hongchen was with her, she suddenly felt much better.

Meng Hongchen naturally stood in the back against the wall, as if Xuan Ziwen's punishment was nothing at all.

Actually, this was all based on experience, because his older brother, Xiao Hongchen, had caused quite a bit of trouble during his years at the academy.

Punishments like standing in the corner and writing self-criticisms were commonplace.

A large part of Xiao Hongchen's self-criticism was written by Meng Hongchen, so a thousand-word self-criticism was a piece of cake for Meng Hongchen.

You can't go wrong by focusing on the theme "I'm really a piece of trash".

So Meng Hongchen didn't take this little thing to heart at all. She even made a face at Xu Tianzhen that only she could see.

Xu Tianzhen looked completely bewildered as to why Meng Hongchen could act as if nothing had happened after being punished.

……

After class.

Xu Yang packed his things. He hadn't listened to Xuan Ziwen's classes much, as he was either fiddling with his own things or studying in the knowledge repository.

His Evil Eye Tower can now be upgraded to a level 5 Soul Tool.

To avoid wasting the original design, Xu Yang specially designed the Evil Eye Tower as a detachable soul tool.

By replacing the key core magic array, the quality of the Evil Eye Tower will also improve, and the number of people it can contact will also increase.

A level 5 Evil Eye Tower can probably support a thousand people online, which is enough for Xu Yang now.

He took out several bracelets from his storage soul tool, which were communication soul tools he had made to match the Evil Eye Tower.

This is a soul tool I made that allows for real-time communication. As long as you are still within the Mingdu area, you can contact me through this.

Xu Yang distributed the bracelets to Hongchen and his sister.

Xu Tianzhen was also surprised when she saw it. She had a considerable understanding of soul tools, but she had never seen such a magical soul tool before, which immediately piqued her interest.

"Can I have one too? I want one too, I can trade this for one."

Xu Tianzhen took a stone out of her pocket.

"I've carried this with me since I was a child. It can absorb sunlight to aid in cultivation, and it will have a good effect even for soul masters who don't have a solar martial soul."

Xu Yang took it and examined it carefully. Even with the amount of knowledge he had acquired over the years, he still couldn't figure out what kind of stone it was.

It appears to be another unique type of strange stone.

It's the same material my maternal grandfather used to make the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.

According to Kong Deming, the main material of the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield is a stone that fell from the sky and has extremely high compatibility with the power of the moon. He obtained it at a great cost when he was young.

Xu Yang wouldn't stoop to such an advantage.

So he took the initiative to speak:

"You should keep this stone safe; it's not very useful to me. However, if it were used as the main material for some special soul tools, even a 100,000-year-old soul bone couldn't compare to it."

Xu Tianzhen's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Then...can you..."

Before Xu Tianzhen could continue speaking...

Xu Yang interrupted him immediately.

"Currently, there is only one person in the entire Sun Moon Empire who is capable of handling this matter, but unfortunately, he is unavailable at the moment."

"Oh...I see."

"So... how exactly do you want me to give you that bracelet? I'm really curious."

"That's all I've made so far. I'll make the rest for you when I have time in a few days."

Xu Yang explained.

"Can it really communicate within the entire Mingdu area as you say?"

Xu Tianzhen asked again.

"I have no reason to lie to you. You can also tell your father about the existence of this soul tool."

"However, it's best to wait a while. Even if you wanted to equip the army with it, it wouldn't be done in a short time."

"Moreover, this technology is not yet mature, and I am the only one in the entire Sun Moon Empire who knows how to do it."

"I can provide the relevant technology so that higher-level Soul Masters can continue their research, but it must be approved by me first."

Remember to tell these words to your father, the Emperor.
