Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

"Ding, the challenge mission has ended: Congratulations to the host for defeating thirty-seven people during the freshman competition. At 100 kilograms per person, the total weight is 3,700 kilograms. The host has been given the continuous storage soul tool, White Frost (male version)."

The system's voice rang in Ye Ying's ears. When Ye Ying reacted, she immediately checked the situation inside the white frost.

Sure enough, all sorts of colorful and rare metals were neatly stacked together.

Three thousand seven hundred kilograms, which is equivalent to three and a half tons, doesn't seem like much. All of it adds up to less than a cubic meter.

"Never mind, it's good enough to get this much."

Ye Ying tried to comfort himself, but Zhang Lexuan gently stroked his cheek with her fair hand and said softly, "Brother Ying, you seem to be talking to yourself. Is there something you can tell me?"

Ye Ying rarely hid anything from Zhang Lexuan, and he even made up a reason to tell her about the rare metal he had just acquired.

"Actually, it's quite a lot, but are you planning to learn how to use soul tools because you've collected so many rare metals?"

Ye Ying nodded. "Soul tools are an extension of soul masters. Although I don't want to say it, the advantages of soul tools are really obvious. Powerful firepower is something that soul masters can't achieve."

Most importantly, soul tools have overturned the traditional boundaries of soul masters. As long as one has enough soul power, one can wield a powerful soul tool and possess formidable attack power, thus completely freeing soul masters from the limitations of their martial souls.

As Ye Ying recounted her story, Zhang Lexuan listened with great interest. Then, her brows furrowed slightly, and she said, "You've said soul tools are so good, do you think I could learn how to use them?"

A pair of clear, jewel-like eyes looked at Ye Ying with undisguised eagerness.

However, this made Ye Ying hesitate. He dared to cross two systems because he had the super support of the system.

In his view, although Zhang Lexuan's talent was only slightly inferior to his, he was still afraid that cultivating two different systems would slow down her cultivation speed.

"Ding! Zhang Lexuan's talent is slightly higher than the host's. Given her interest in learning Soul Guidance, a phased mission is hereby issued: Instruct in Soul Guidance. As Zhang Lexuan's Soul Guidance level increases, the host will receive a reward. Current stage: Apprentice. Helping her break through to the next level will reward the host with 2 Ranking Carving Knives (random)."

This... the slap in the face came a little too fast. Ye Ying never expected that in terms of talent, he was actually a little worse than Zhang Lexuan.

Ye Ying was a little puzzled: Are you a system or a sycophant? Why did you issue a task just because Zhang Lexuan wanted to learn?

"Ding! This system is not a simp. Zhang Lexuan is your fiancée. As the saying goes, 'One should not covet a friend's wife!'"

The system's response put Ye Ying at ease. Meeting Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes, Ye Ying nodded, "Okay, let's go check out the Soul Guidance Department later."

"(=^▽^=) Thank you, Brother Ying!"

Zhang Lexuan quickly stood up, her fair hands behind her back.

Just then, Wu Ming arrived with Mo Yuan.

"You can go get the award from the school, don't worry about me."

Mo Yuan lowered his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I only went on stage once, and I even made things worse for you guys."

Ye Ying smiled slightly, "It's alright. You're a member of our team, after all. We can't abandon you, can we?"

Because of his family background, Mo Yuan was somewhat insecure. Upon hearing Ye Ying's words, he, being at a rather sentimental age, was easily moved.

After Ye Ying finished singing the red-faced role, she gave Wu Ming a look.

Understanding the implication, Wu Ming patted Mo Yuan on the head. "Alright, don't hesitate, come with us!"

The four of them walked toward the office of Du Weiren, the head of the teaching department.

Ye Ying, who was in the lead, knocked on the door and heard a middle-aged man's voice say, "Come in!"

The speaker was none other than Du Weilun, the head of the teaching department.

Upon seeing Ye Ying and her group of four arrive, Du Weilun casually waved his hand and slammed the door shut.

Ye Ying was quite puzzled and guessing. Could it be that they were also given the main character treatment this time and were given a soul bone directly?

Ye Ying was right. Du Weilun took out a soul beast skin pouch from his personal storage soul tool, which was engraved with some rather complex patterns.

Having received the inheritance of a level nine soul master, Ye Ying naturally recognized that the inscriptions on it were soul guide runes that isolated aura and soul power.

Under the watchful eyes of Ye Ying and the others, Du Weiren's lips curled up slightly. "Among you are many young masters and ladies from prominent families, you should recognize what's inside."

The outspoken Wu Ming blurted out excitedly, "There's a soul bone inside!"

Mo Yuan was the most shocked. Soul bones were simply too far-fetched for a member of a small family like his.

Even the worst soul bone is not something their family can get their hands on.

Du Weilen was quite impressed by the two's performance. He slowly opened the pouch containing the soul bone, and a golden-red soul bone floated up under his control.

"This is a right arm bone of the Blazing Firebird, which may contain an offensive soul skill. The academy made an exception for you this time. Here you are, remember, once you leave this place, you must not tell anyone."

While solemnly warning the group, Du Weilun put away the Blazing Firebird's soul bone and handed it to Ye Ying, the team leader.

The four of them then left Du Weilin's office together. Ye Ying casually tossed the item to Wu Ming, saying, "This isn't really suitable for us, you can have it!"

Wu Ming hurriedly accepted the soul bone that Ye Ying threw to him, feeling quite excited.

But when she thought about how Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan hadn't gotten anything, she suddenly felt a little guilty. "ヾ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ, I can't accept this. How about I ask about the price of the soul bone at home and compensate them with something else?"

Zhang Lexuan smiled and stroked Wu Ming's soft, short hair. "No need. Ying-ge's family is well-off. He won't miss out on this little thing."

After saying goodbye to Mo Yuan and Wu Ming, Ye Ying took Zhang Lexuan's hand and returned to the room.

"Sister Xuanxuan, what do you think of that soul bone?"

Without hesitation, Zhang Lexuan replied, "A lifespan of around 30,000 years is quite suitable for Ming'er."

"Our dean certainly has a lot of ulterior motives, but unfortunately, he baited the wrong bait!"

Three days later, those who had not been eliminated all came to the academy square, mainly for the core spots, and secondarily for class assignments.

Zhang Lexuan, Ye Ying, Dai En, Zhang Jingrong, Ning Yu, Xu Xiangzhou, Chen Jiuying, and Xu Le have all been granted the status of core trainees.

Chu Qingtian fell a little short, only obtaining the status of a temporary core student.

Surprisingly, Mo Yuan, who only participated in one match and even made things worse, was also granted the status of a temporary core student.
