Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

Chapter 43 A Long-Planned Encounter at the Grand Soul Arena

Having been classmates for two or three years, Yu Tianheng knew that Dugu Yan was proud and arrogant, especially since she was also Dugu Bo's granddaughter.

Therefore, apart from herself, there were very few people in the entire Tiandou Academy who could catch her eye.

Unexpectedly, there is now another Qi Dao.

Yu Tianheng said calmly, "If Qi Dao really has the abilities that others have mentioned, then I would like to find an opportunity to spar with him."

""

Dugu Yan chuckled and said, "Really? I'm actually looking forward to your battle."

"But Tianheng, if the rumors are true, that handsome young man might actually be just as good as you."

"Even if Teacher Zhou was careless, Qi Dao was able to make Teacher Zhou suffer a setback. Judging from this point alone, his strength should not be underestimated."

After listening, Yu Tianheng spoke calmly and confidently.

"Whether the rumors are true or false, as long as no one surpasses me in level, I will never lose!"

Yu Tianheng was not only confident in his own strength, but also in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus bloodline within him.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Yan stretched and yawned.

"Now, Heaven Dou Academy is going to be lively!"

Qi Dao found Zhou Huan and expressed his idea of ​​cultivating on his own.

Given the strength he demonstrated, Zhou Huan naturally wouldn't refuse.

However, to prevent Qi Dao from becoming complacent, Zhou Heng proposed that Qi Dao be tested every once in a while.

Qi Dao was naturally eager to spar with the Soul Sect.

After obtaining Zhou Huan's permission, Qi Dao rarely appeared in class, leading many of his classmates to believe that he was elusive and unpredictable.

Only a few people have occasionally seen Qi Dao in the mimicry zone.

Soul Masters become more sensitive to energies with similar attributes to their own, especially after breaking through level 30, this feeling becomes particularly pronounced.

This is where the importance of the mimicry zone becomes apparent.

An academy without a mimicry zone is destined to never become a top-tier academy.

Qi Dao's cultivation area is in a grove of trees that is not very dense.

The reason for choosing this location is that there is a metal vein underground here, with abundant metallic energy.

Qi Dao's cultivation here is indeed more effective than his cultivation in the dormitory.

Moreover, the space here is spacious, allowing him to practice his swordsmanship at will, and almost no one usually passes by here.

After all, the entire Tiandou Academy only has seven or eight hundred students, yet they occupy a thousand-meter-high mountain peak, ensuring that each student has enough training space.

Besides cultivating, Qi Dao would also visit the academy's library in his spare time.

The library of Tiandou Academy is dozens of times larger than that of Notting Academy, they are not even in the same league, and it has all kinds of books.

Qi Dao doesn't spend all his time researching theories, but he still makes time to borrow books and broaden his understanding of the world.

Although I had read various novels and fan fiction in my previous life, what was described in those novels was ultimately just the tip of the iceberg of the world.

Of course, Qi Dao did not forget the main reason he came to Tiandou Academy.

The Heavenly Battle Arena.

As soon as Qi Dao entered, he saw a voluptuous figure with purple hair not far away and immediately went up to greet her.

"Senior, I really didn't expect to see you here."

The purple-haired figure was alone. Hearing someone greet him, he immediately looked over and saw Qi Dao walking towards him from not far away.

Upon seeing Qi Dao, a look of surprise flashed across her face.

"It's you, handsome young man!"

It had been half a month since she last saw Qi Dao.

During this period, the popularity of Qi Dao within the academy has decreased significantly.

The main reason is that Qi Dao has become very low-key since he challenged Zhou Huan, as if he suddenly disappeared. He is rarely seen and is said to often not even go to class.

She never expected to run into Qi Dao here again.

"Are you here to participate in the Soul Battle as well?" Dugu Yan asked proactively.

Qi Dao laughed and said, "That's right. I heard that the Great Soul Arena is a good place to hone one's skills, so I came here."

"This is my first time here, so there are many things I don't understand."

As he spoke, a hint of embarrassment crept onto Qi Dao's face.

Of course, the truth is not like that.

What coincidence could there be?

This unexpected encounter was, in the end, nothing more than something Qi Dao had been planning for a long time.

Starting with students at the Heavenly Sovereign level, the practical training courses at Tiandou Academy will be significantly increased.

Furthermore, Heavenly-level students must participate in at least three Soul Battles at the Heavenly Battle Arena each month.

This also became Qi Dao's opportunity to meet Dugu Yan on his own.

All he needed to do was conceal his identity and bribe the gatekeeper and a few students from the first class of the Heavenly Supreme level.

After all, there are quite a few people in the academy who want to pursue Dugu Yan, and she is a popular figure in the academy. As long as it is not particularly private information, it is not difficult to find out.

"Hehe, I see. Looks like you really are a battle maniac."

"We were all forced by the academy to come and participate in the Soul Battle, but you, on the other hand, came all by yourself."

""

"However, you're lucky to have run into me today."

"Come with me, I'll take you to register first, and then I'll tell you some things to note when participating in Soul Battle."

"Otherwise, if you register the wrong name and end up in the deathmatch area, that would be very dangerous."

Seeing Qi Dao's embarrassed expression, Dugu Yan couldn't help but smile and speak.

She didn't suspect anything. After all, it was reasonable for Qi Dao to challenge a teacher as soon as he entered school and come to the Great Soul Arena alone.

Upon hearing this, Qi Dao's face immediately showed gratitude.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior."

Dugu Yan laughed and said, "Alright, come with me!"

After saying that, Dugu Yan led the way.

Qi Dao followed behind, asking curiously, "Senior, are you the only one participating in the Soul Battle?"

Dugu Yan said lazily, "Otherwise what?"

The two chatted casually for a while before arriving at the registration area.

First, you need to register, which requires paying ten Gold Soul Coins as a registration fee, and then fill in your relevant information.

Finally, there's the registration process.

Qi Dao did not use his own name, but instead gave himself a title.

Sword Master!

After registering, Qi Dao turned his head and immediately saw a strange expression on Dugu Yan's face, as if she was trying not to laugh.

Qi Dao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Senior, what's wrong?"

Dugu Yan could no longer hold back her laughter and burst into giggles.

"Sword Master?"

"That's quite a unique title you've given yourself, but don't you feel...ashamed?"

Listening to Dugu Yan's complaints, Qi Dao stroked his chin.

Um...

That seems a bit cringey!

However, Qi Dao had no intention of changing his title, and simply smiled lightly, "Now that I've come here, I naturally want to leave behind a name that carries enough weight."

"I am destined to be famous in the Great Soul Arena. Rather than waiting for others to give me those miscellaneous titles, I might as well choose them myself in advance."

After listening, Dugu Yan looked at Qi Dao with slight surprise.

"Wow, handsome young man, you're really confident!"

"However, the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena is full of hidden talents, and it is not an easy thing to become famous in the Great Soul Arena."

Qi Dao smiled faintly.

"Just wait and see, senior!"

Dugu Yan was slightly taken aback.

Although Qi Dao's tone did not show any particular forcefulness or certainty, he exuded an aura of confidence.

Although it wasn't explicitly emphasized, it resonated with people even more!

Dugu Yan laughed and said, "Then I'll wait and see!"
