Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 187 Study

As for the broken instruments, it's not a big problem; they can be rebuilt, and it won't take long.

Jing Hongchen said indifferently, "It's alright. I know his condition. As for those instruments, have someone remake them. It won't take long."

Hearing Jing Hongchen's words, Lin Jiayi nodded to indicate that he understood.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Jiayi told Jing Hongchen about Huo Yutong, and he felt that Deng Mu was covering something up for Huo Yutong.

However, he felt that Deng Mu had more secrets, and that Deng Mu should be the one he focused on.

Jing Hongchen then said, "Keep a close watch on their every move, paying particular attention to He Caitou's behavior during class. I will assign someone to keep an eye on Huo Yutong and Deng Mu."

The two then started talking about other things, no longer mentioning Deng Mu and the others.

Huo Yutong has already drawn out the structure of all the instruments used for testing today.

"It's time to go find Brother Mu and have a proper discussion about Martial Souls."

Huo Yutong put the things away, blushing as she tried to come up with a reasonable excuse for finding Deng Mu.

For some reason, she felt her soul power increase significantly after each time she did that kind of thing, so she decided to verify it.

It's absolutely not for any other reason than being obsessed with that feeling.

Huo Yutong knocked on the door when she arrived at Deng Mu's room.

"Yutong, what's wrong?"

"Brother Mu, I...I want to discuss the matter of martial spirits with you."

Hearing Huo Yutong's words, Deng Mu instantly understood what Huo Yutong wanted to do, and was at a loss for words.

It seems like Huo Yutong has become addicted to that kind of thing.

Isn't it said that boys are lustful? How come girls are even more lustful than boys?

Deng Mu stepped aside to let Huo Yutong into the room, a helpless yet doting smile on his face.

Huo Yutong walked into the room with a slightly flushed face, feeling that what she had just said was really too far-fetched.

……

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, gently illuminating Deng Mu and Huo Yutong's faces.

Deng Mu looked at Huo Yutong, who had finished her cultivation, and said softly, "Yutong, if anyone bullies you, remember to tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson for you."

He remembered that according to the plot, Ju Zi would lead a group to bully Huo Yutong, and if anything unexpected happened, he would personally teach those people a lesson.

Although Ju Zi is beautiful, she bullied Huo Yutong and deserves to be taught a lesson. She won't let Huo Yutong off the hook just because she's pretty.

Huo Yutong's cheeks flushed slightly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. She nodded gently, "Yes, Brother Mu, you're so good to me."

She secretly thought to herself that probably not many people could bully her, but Deng Mu's kindness still warmed her heart.

After a quick wash, the two headed towards the cafeteria.

Upon arriving at the canteen, Deng Mu thought that Riyue's canteen was quite good; at least it had tables and chairs.

You should know that Shrek Academy is so stingy that the cafeteria doesn't even have tables and chairs.

I ran into Fan Yu and He Cai Tou in the cafeteria, and the four of us chatted for a while.

After breakfast, Deng Mu and his two companions returned to their dormitory, changed into the school uniforms provided by the school, and joined the other students from Shrek Academy to meet on the first floor of the sixth-grade teaching building.

Lin Jiayi, the director of teaching affairs, was already waiting there. Behind him stood eleven teachers of varying ages.

Lin Jiayi discussed various matters concerning the future studies of the Shrek Academy students with Deng Mu and others.

"To ensure fairness in the college's assignment process, each teacher will draw lots to choose who will mentor one of you. The drawing of lots will now begin."

Lin Jiayi took a tray from the staff member, on which were some folded slips of paper.

The eleven teachers filed out one after another, each taking one from the tray.

As Deng Mu expected, Huo Yutong was still chosen by Xuan Ziwen.

Deng Mu looked at Xuan Ziwen and recalled some information about him.

He remembered that Xuan Ziwen was a talented person, Kong Deming was his teacher, and he had made many useful soul tools, including an all-terrain self-propelled soul tool turret and a sealed milk bottle.

The Ice Extreme War God Armor was designed by Xuan Ziwen and made by Huo Yutong.

"Deng Mu." The person who drew Deng Mu's name was a middle-aged man in his fifties.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Upon seeing that the person who was with him was not a woman, Deng Mu felt inexplicably relieved.

Deng Mu went out and called out, "Here."

The middle-aged man looked at Deng Mu and said, "Deng Mu, come with me."

After saying that, he led Deng Mu toward the second teaching building for the sixth grade.

On the way to the laboratory, the middle-aged man broke the silence first, saying with a kind smile, "Deng Mu, my name is Zhou Hong. I'm glad to have drawn your name. I hope we can make breakthroughs together in the research of soul tools in the days to come."

Deng Mu nodded slightly and replied, "Hello, Teacher Zhou. I am very enthusiastic about soul tools and will rely on your guidance in the future."

Along the way, Zhou Hong gave Deng Mu a brief introduction to his upcoming study plan and key research projects. His words were full of love and dedication to his professional field, which made Deng Mu even more excited for the learning journey that was about to begin.

Deng Mu thought Zhou Hong was pretty good. He might not be the most outstanding soul master, but he was a very good teacher.

Soon, they arrived at the laboratory.

The laboratory was spacious and bright, with various soul tool manufacturing materials and precision instruments neatly arranged, and a faint energy fluctuation permeated the air.

Zhou Hong led Deng Mu to an experimental table filled with various parts and tools, gently patted the table, and said, "Deng Mu, we will now officially begin learning the basics of soul tools. In essence, a soul tool is a device that uses soul power to drive it, and with the help of various special materials and precise structures, it can achieve specific functions. Its creation has greatly changed the way soul masters fight and live."

Deng Mu listened attentively to Zhou Hong's words, his mind racing.

If the development speed of soul tools in Douluo Continent were as fast as the development speed of technology on Earth, how terrifying would it be?

Considering that Earth's technology has only taken a few hundred years to reach the moon, he felt that if given tens of thousands of years, they would already be fighting with aliens.

Zhou Hong seemed to sense the thoughtful look in Deng Mu's eyes and asked with a smile, "Deng Mu, are you considering the future development direction of soul tools?"

Deng Mu snapped out of his reverie and replied, "Hmm, I suddenly thought of whether it's possible to create a flying soul tool that can leave our planet and travel to other planets."

A flicker of surprise and curiosity flashed in Zhou Hong's eyes. He leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed on Deng Mu as if examining a novel treasure: "Interesting. Your idea is truly imaginative! Leaving our planet and going to other planets—this is not something ordinary people can even conceive of. But thinking about it carefully, if it could really be realized, it would completely rewrite the history of Douluo Continent. Tell me, what made you come up with this idea?"
