Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 59 Angel's Tomb

The atmosphere in the classroom was somewhat quiet.

Perhaps because they had made a mistake, neither Xie Xie nor Tang Wulin spoke.

Wu Changkong didn't say anything about what happened today, he just said calmly, "We'll be setting off for Tianhai City in three days."

He paused for a moment, then, meeting the puzzled gazes of the crowd, said, "I will participate in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition."

Xie Xie, who was still somewhat hesitant to raise his head because of his mistake, was suddenly startled by these words: "Isn't it always the older students who participate?"

Wu Changkong glanced at him: "You dare to beat up outsiders, why are you afraid to participate in the competition?"

Xie Xie was momentarily speechless after being choked by Wu Changkong's words. He scratched his head and muttered softly, "These are two different things..."

Tang Wulin glanced at Lin Ci beside him, then immediately thought, with Brother Ci around, the older students still can't beat them, so what's there to be afraid of in participating in a competition? He quickly raised his head, looking firmly at Wu Changkong, and said, "Teacher Wu, we will be well prepared."

Wu Changkong nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over each student in the class, and said, "This year's Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition is different from previous ones. The academy's decision to allow Class Zero to participate is a recognition of your strength, but also a severe test. The Tianhai Alliance is full of geniuses, and elite students from various academies will participate. Moreover, you are all younger, so you must be fully prepared."

"There will be no classes for the next three days. You can cultivate on your own and prepare. Alright, Lin Ci and Tang Wulin, stay behind. The rest of you, please leave."

After everyone else left, the two people left alone were a little confused.

Wu Changkong first looked at Tang Wulin and asked, "The academy said that the Blacksmith Association has asked you to go to Tianhai City to participate in the blacksmith competition of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament, is that right?"

"Mm." Tang Wulin nodded.

Wu Changkong said, "It won't affect our participation in the competition. I checked. The blacksmith competition's time doesn't conflict with ours. It's just out of the way."

"Oh." Tang Wulin nodded. "Teacher Wu, what competition are we going to participate in?"

Wu Changkong said, "The Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition is very large in scale, and there are many categories of competitions. Especially the Soul Master competition. It is divided into individual competitions and team competitions. The team competitions are further divided into three-person team competitions, five-person team competitions, and seven-person team competitions. The seven-person team competition is the most watched. I wanted you to participate in the five-person team competition, but in order to ensure the results, the academy has asked you to participate in the three-person team competition. This way, you have substitutes, and you can also make changes based on the opponent's lineup. The three-person and five-person team competitions are the same; you can have a maximum of two substitutes."

At this moment, he looked at Lin Ci and said, "It's up to you whether the others participate in the individual competition, but you must participate, and your goal is to win the championship."

"I object!" Lin Cizhen really didn't want to participate in another competition.

Wu Changkong said, "Objection overruled."

He then added, "Not only is the opposition ineffective, but you are also the absolute core player in the three-person team competition, and the goal remains the championship."

Lin Ci helplessly shrugged.

Tang Wulin was also a bit dumbfounded. After all, although they had defeated the five senior students, the Tianhai Alliance was so big that there must be many genius soul masters, and Donghai Academy was a relatively weak link in terms of overall strength.

This makes it somewhat difficult for them to win the championship.

After Wu Changkong finished speaking, he let Tang Wulin leave, while Lin Ci was left until the very end.

This wasn't the first time; he was used to it.

Lin Ci took the initiative to ask, "Teacher Wu, is there anything else?"

Wu Changkong nodded. "These three days, come with me to Xingluo City."

"Going to Xingluo City again?!"

……

Star Luo City, one of the oldest cities on the Douluo Continent, is as famous as Heaven Dou City. Ten thousand years ago, it was the capital of the Star Luo Empire. However, as the Sun Moon Empire grew stronger, the Star Luo Empire's royal family led the remaining members of the royal family to flee the Douluo Continent to avoid its advance.

Stepping out of the station, one can immediately sense the charm of Xingluo City as a historic ancient city. Although both are ancient cities, its architectural style is completely different from that of Tiandou City. The architecture here leans more towards a bold and unrestrained style, which is more in line with the folk customs of the former Xingluo Empire.

Because of the Star Luo Empire's voluntary withdrawal back then, the buildings here are relatively more intact.

Star Luo City has been bustling with activity these past few days, as the annual Star Luo League has commenced. Unlike East Sea City, where only East Sea Academy possesses some influence and strength, Star Luo City boasts several academies within its jurisdiction, each with considerable strength and depth, producing numerous genius Soul Masters every year. It is precisely for this reason that Star Luo City hosts the league annually to encourage and recognize these talented Soul Masters, aiming to foster healthy competition and development among the various academies.

Wu Changkong brought Lin Ci here not to participate in a competition, but for a grave, or more precisely, a tomb.

Legend has it that after the fall of the angel god, six false tombs and one true tomb were left behind. Only after all six false tombs have been revealed will the true tomb be shown.

In the history of Douluo Continent, five fake angel tombs have already appeared. Although these five angel tombs are fake, the soul masters who enter each one receive great benefits. Even without any special opportunities, their innate talent is greatly improved, especially for younger soul masters.

However, the Tomb of Ruins also has restrictions; only Soul Masters with divine elemental power are qualified to enter. And only thirty-six people can enter at a time.

Each time the fake tomb appears, the location is different. It has appeared in other cities before, but each time it appears in an ancient historical city. This last fake tomb appeared here, in the mountainous area on the outskirts of Xingluo City.

When the ruins appeared, they were taken into control by the Star Luo City authorities. Subsequently, all thirty-six slots, except for some pre-selected ones, were auctioned off.

Even when they were auctioned off, each one fetched an astronomical price. The most expensive one even reached one billion federal dollars.

After hearing Wu Changkong finish speaking, Lin Ci didn't rush to ask anything, but instead fell into a surprising silence.

After a long pause, she simply asked, "Where did I get my spot?"

Wu Changkong said, "Your Majesty the Heavenly Phoenix fought for this, and long ago she entrusted me to bring you here."

Lin Ci didn't continue to think about why Leng Yaozhu had gotten him this spot but didn't take him there herself.

Lin Ci no longer wanted to think about these problems; at this moment, his unusually heavy heart sank down.

If he had known this would happen, he definitely wouldn't have wanted to come. No matter how great the benefits, he wouldn't have wanted to come.

For some unknown reason, Lin Ci's breathing suddenly became somewhat rapid. Even though he tried to suppress it, it was still quite noticeable. The light spots reflected from the glass curtain wall on the path outside the waiting hall flickered on his face, and those memories he had deliberately tried to forget suddenly became clear.
