Douluo Tang San, stop rolling

Xu Dongyang did not go home immediately, but came to an uninhabited forest outside the city. After looking around to make sure there was no one, he squatted down and opened the box.

There was a pistol inside. Xu Dongyang had been a soldier in his previous life, so he naturally had some knowledge about firearms. The pistol inside was naturally copied based on his memories of his previous life.

After picking up the gun and loading the bullet, he looked around to make sure there was no one around and then fired a shot at a tree.

After the "bang" sound, Xu Dongyang went forward to check. The bullet easily penetrated the tree and made a small hole on the ground a hundred meters away. Seeing this, Xu Dongyang nodded silently with satisfaction, then put away the pistol and disposed of the discarded bullets and went home contentedly.

(The power of the pistol has been modified here. After all, in the original novel, ancient cold weapons like Zhuge's magic crossbow can penetrate gold and shatter stones. It's normal that the pistol is more powerful than Zhuge's magic crossbow.)

At night, Xu Dongyang returned home and lay on the bed thinking, "With a pistol, I have a certain ability to protect myself against soul masters below Soul King and soul beasts below ten thousand years old, which is enough to protect me in the early stage."

Now that winter has just passed, there is still half a year before Notting College starts. I will try to reach level 10 before the start of the school year.

Thinking of this, Xu Dongyang sat up and began to meditate. He planned to replace sleep with meditation in the future to make full use of his time.

In the following days, Xu Dongyang completed morning exercises of swinging the stick 1000 times and running 10 kilometers every morning. Without any special training methods, he could only stick to the simplest basic exercises. He believed that even the simplest movements could become unique skills if practiced ten thousand times. He did not have any cool moves that could be named, so he practiced every most basic movement to be "faster, harder, and more accurate."

After morning exercises and lunch, he would study pharmacology with Uncle Yang at the pharmacy in the morning, practice soul power control in the afternoon, and meditate to refine his soul power in the evening.

Chapter 3 The First Soul Ring

Time flies, half a year has passed, and there are only three days left before Notting College opens.

Xu Dongyang, who was sitting on the bed, woke up in the morning, exhaled and said, "After half a year of hard training, I finally reached level 10."

Xu Dongyang has gained a lot in the past six months. He has learned some basic pharmacology from Uncle Yang. Now he can use elixirs to prepare medicated food to assist in his practice.

After his martial soul awakened, all aspects of his physical condition have improved significantly, so he has been doing physical and strength training every day in the past six months.

With a strong body as a foundation and the efficient recovery brought by the medicinal diet, he has also completed the initial lightning body-building mode. Now he can use weak electric currents to stimulate his meridians and nerves to improve his meridian toughness and nerve reflex ability.

Now he has meridians that are tougher than those of soul masters of the same level and nerve reactions that far exceed those of normal people, and this is still under his normal state.

If he actively uses electric current to stimulate the meridians and nerves throughout his body, his speed can be doubled and his nerve reaction can be tripled, which is enough to crush the agility attack spirit masters of the same level in terms of speed.

Although it cannot be used to increase strength, fortunately he is a weapon spirit master and he can make up for the shortcomings in attack power by adding spirit rings to his martial spirit.

The only drawback is that this state will increase his physical consumption and nervous fatigue, and may even cause muscle tearing and spasms during combat due to exceeding his physical limits.

He had wanted to test his maximum speed at home before, but his calf cramped suddenly during the movement.

Fortunately, he tried it in advance, otherwise if this situation occurred in a battle one day, he would probably have to fall flat on his face in front of his opponent.

Therefore, this move can only be used as a trump card, but as physical strength increases, this disadvantage will be alleviated.

Xu Dongyang slowly stood up and stretched his body, then began his morning exercise, swinging the stick a thousand times with all his strength.

He has already formed the habit. At first it took him an hour and a half to complete it, but now he can finish it in one hour.

As he practiced repeatedly, his stick swinging movements went from being awkward at the beginning to becoming more and more smooth and handy now.

After morning exercises, his mother prepared dinner. Xu Dongyang came to the table and told his mother the news that his soul power had reached level ten.

"So fast? My son is excellent." Yu Shuting touched her son's head and said proudly.

"After dinner, let's go to the Wuhun Branch Hall to get a certificate, and then I will take you to get the spirit ring."

After the two finished their meal, they came to the Wuhun Branch Hall. After entering, they followed the guidance of the receptionist and quickly found Master Matthew Nuo, the person in charge of the Notting City Wuhun Branch Hall.

After explaining his purpose, he successfully obtained a one-time warrant from the Spirit Hall. During this period, Master Matthew Nuo also invited Xu Dongyang to join the Spirit Hall, but he naturally declined on the grounds that he was still young.

The mother and son rode in a carriage to the Soul Hunting Forest. In the carriage, Yu Shuting said:

"The Soul Hunting Forest belongs to the Tiandou Empire, but it is managed by the Spirit Hall, so you need a warrant from the Spirit Hall to enter."

"There are no high-level soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest, so it is relatively safer, but it does not mean there is no danger. When you enter the forest, do not leave my side."

Soon the two arrived at the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest. After taking out the warrant, they entered the forest easily.

Xu Dongyang followed his mother and observed the surroundings, occasionally discovering some plants and herbs recorded in books.

"Xiaoyang, what do you think about your first soul ring?" the mother asked without turning back as she walked in front.

Xu Dongyang thought for a moment and said:

"A four hundred year old giant rock turtle."

He had read the Complete Collection of Soul Beasts long before his martial soul awakened. After all, there was no internet in this world, and reading became one of the few pastimes he had.

The Giant Rock Turtle was his choice after careful consideration. This soul beast has the earth attribute and its shell is extremely hard. Even a ten thousand year soul beast would find it difficult to break its shell. Secondly, the Giant Rock Turtle is huge and heavy. When it is not moving, it is like a small mountain. Its only drawback is that it is not aggressive and moves slowly.

What he values ​​are the two characteristics of hardness and heaviness. As for the means of attack, he doesn't care. For high-level soul masters, a hundred-year-old attack soul skill basically has little effect. The key to victory is often the soul skill with a long age. However, amplification soul skills are different. The percentage attribute bonus is more growth-oriented and can have a good effect even if you are a Titled Douluo.

Because giant rock turtles move slowly, they tend to live in specific areas.

After walking for half an hour, the two arrived at a rocky hill.

At a glance, Xu Dongyang saw stones everywhere, among which there were more than a dozen huge stones that were particularly eye-catching.

Yu Shuting pointed at the boulders and said, "These boulders are giant rock turtles. The age of the giant rock turtles is their weight. The age determines their weight."

As he said this, he walked towards the giant rock turtles and patted each of the boulders. The scene was very similar to the aunt buying watermelons in front of the fruit stall in his previous life.

It didn't take long to find the destination of this trip.

When Xu Dongyang walked closer, he discovered that the boulder was essentially a turtle shell. There was a hole under the huge shell, and the giant rock turtle was curled up with its head inside, motionless, as if it was sleeping.

Although I knew from books that the giant rock turtle was sleepy all year round and was either eating or sleeping, the fact that it was still sleeping with the enemy right in front of it was definitely a weirdo in the world of soul beasts.

Yu Shuting said, "The only way the giant rock turtle can attack is by biting people. I will stun it first and then kill it with a dagger when its head comes out."

After saying that, he took out a dagger.

Xu Dongyang took the dagger, looked at his mother's martial spirit and then discharged electricity at the opponent's turtle shell. Soon the giant rock turtle fainted with its head drooping. He stepped forward and stabbed the dagger into the opponent's brain.

It is worthy of being the sewer of the food chain in the soul beast world. Four hundred years of cultivation were just gone. Xu Dongyang thought that there would be twists and turns in obtaining the soul ring.

Soon a yellow soul ring appeared. Xu Dongyang sat down cross-legged and used his mind to pull the soul ring to his body. He then felt an external soul power flowing through his meridians. Fortunately, his meridians were tough and his body was strong. He only felt a little swelling in his meridians and frowned.

Not long after, he opened his eyes with a satisfied look, stood up and summoned his martial soul Ruyi Stick. There were no major changes to the stick as a whole, but its weight had increased significantly to 50 kilograms, and its hardness had also increased.

The mother asked nervously, "What is the first soul skill?"

"My first soul skill is to double the weight of my martial soul. Every time I increase my soul power by ten levels, the weight will double. I named this soul skill Chongyue."

He didn't like fancy names, otherwise it would sound a bit stupid when read out in battle.

The mother's tense expression relaxed.

"Since you have obtained the soul ring, let's go back." After saying this, he turned and left.

After Xu Dongyang glanced at the other giant rock turtles that seemed to be still sleeping, he followed his mother away.

The two quickly walked out of the Soul Hunting Forest and returned to Nottingham City in a carriage.

When they arrived in Nottingham, Yu Shuting touched her son's head and said, "You are now a soul master, too. You can register at the Spirit Hall and receive a gold soul coin as a subsidy every month."

"Mom, what kind of organization is the Spirit Hall? I see that many spirit masters highly respect the Spirit Hall." Xu Dongyang asked.

His understanding of the Spirit Hall is that it is both good and evil. To say it is an evil force, it has indeed suppressed evil spirit masters and introduced many policies that are beneficial to civilian spirit masters. To say it is just, this organization has its own ambitions and tyranny, and it is understandable that it declared war on the two empires. After all, both the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire have a serious division between the aristocracy and the civilian class, and feudal corruption.

But the attack on Poseidon Island was entirely out of personal selfishness, and from the actions of the current Pope Bibi Dong and the previous Pope Qian Xunji, it can be seen that the Spirit Hall is not an orderly force. One kills all those with extreme and twisted personalities who do not submit, and the other can lock disciples in a small dark room and make them behave like beasts.

He wanted to see what his mother thought of the Spirit Hall. After all, his impressions came from the original novel.

“Your father and I both started out as civilian spirit masters, and we awakened our spirits with the help of the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall has a very good reputation among civilian spirit masters.” Yu Shuting replied with a nostalgic look on her face.

The two of them came to the Wuhun Branch Hall again to find Master Mashuno and tested his soul power. After discovering that Xu Dongyang's first soul ring was a hundred years old and his soul power had reached level 11, Master Mashuno invited him again, but was rejected. He could only watch the two leave with a resentful look on his face.

Chapter 4 Enrollment

Three days later, on the first day of school at Notting College, Xu Dongyang's mother took him to Notting College. The college was located in the most prosperous area in the center of Notting City, not far from home. It only took them twenty minutes to reach the college gate.

There is a tall rock arch and an iron gate below it, with the words "Notting College" engraved in the middle. It is quite majestic. From the door, one can see that the college is vast and stretches as far as the eye can see. It is the largest building in Nottingham in his impression.

Even such a remote small city has an appearance of wealth and power, which shows how high the social status of soul masters is.

"This is where I will live for the next six years!" Xu Dongyang felt a little emotional, as if his thoughts had returned to his student days in his previous life. His face was full of reminiscence, and he also had some expectations for his future campus life.

There were two mortal guards standing at the gate. After all, given the social status of soul masters, even the weakest soul master would not be able to guard the gate for others.

The mother walked up and took out the Spirit Hall certificate to negotiate with the guard. The guard saw their clothes and

Then he let them go with a fawning look on his face.

"Be good and behave yourself when you get in. Remember to eat on time. If you run out of money, come home and tell me. Your home is not far from the college. Come back when you are free." His mother looked at him reluctantly and tidied his appearance.

He nodded, and then walked into the college with his mother's farewell gaze and the envious and awe-inspiring eyes of the gate guard.

After asking several times, Xu Dongyang found the Academic Affairs Office. After entering, he saw several men chatting. When they heard the noise, they looked towards him.

"Teacher, do new students register here?" Xu Dongyang asked.

"Yes, kid." The middle-aged man in the lead replied in a calm tone.

Xu Dongyang walked forward and handed over his soul master certificate. The man took it and looked at it. His eyes widened as if he was frightened. After confirming again and again that the certificate was not forged, he looked at him and said

"Can you show me your soul power?"

Xu Dongyang just wanted to finish the job quickly, so he simply released his soul power and soul ring.

"Hundred-year soul ring, eleventh-level soul power." The man muttered softly.

Then he suppressed his surprise and said, "The tuition fee is one gold soul coin per year."

“Can I choose to work as a student?”

"Are you sure? The work-study dormitory has the most people, and you have to work to get the college subsidy. You don't look like you're from the countryside, do you?"

"Just be a work-study student. I don't want any subsidy from the school."

"Okay, the work-study dormitory is dorm seven. My last name is Su, and you can call me Director Su. You can come to me if you need any help in the future." Director Su said kindly. In his opinion, a soul master with a hundred-year soul ring at the age of six will definitely go further than him in the future, so he can establish a good relationship in advance.

Xu Dongyang responded and left, and soon found Dormitory 7.

I heard the noise of children at the dormitory door, and when I walked in, I saw seven or eight children chasing and playing.

Seeing the stranger coming into the dormitory, they all stopped, and the tallest child among them came out and looked down at him.

"A new work-study student?"

Xu Dongyang naturally knew the traditions of the seventh dormitory.

"Yes."

"My name is Chen Fan, and I'm the boss here. You have to listen to me from now on. Do you understand?"

"why?"

"Because I'm strong, if you're not convinced, you can compete with me." Chen Fan said arrogantly

Others around started to make a fuss, as they also wanted to see the newcomer being taught a lesson.

“Then let’s have a competition.” After saying that, Xu Dongyang released his soul ring. When the hundred-year soul ring came out, the whole place fell silent. Chen Fan had never seen a hundred-year soul ring before and was dumbfounded on the spot, standing there in a daze.

how about it?

You must be sweating profusely, little brother. Xu Dongyang looked at him jokingly.

Chen Fan was also a smart kid. He quickly changed his expression and said flatteringly, "Boss, I will help you carry your luggage. If you have any questions, just ask me. From today on, you are our boss."

Then he turned to his former younger brother behind him and said, "Do you have any objections?"

No one else dared to object and nodded in unison.

Seeing this, Xu Dongyang found an unused bed nearby, took out the bedding from the soul guide and made the bed.

The soul guide device was left by his father. It was a belt-shaped device with not much space. His mother originally wanted to give him a bigger soul guide device, but he refused because that soul guide device was a bracelet. He felt awkward wearing it on his hand whether in training or combat, so he did not take it.

After making the bed, he asked Chen Fan to explain the situation of the dormitory and the school.

Among them, Chen Fan also talked about the fight between the part-time students and the children of aristocrats. It was called a fight, but in fact the part-time students were the ones being bullied unilaterally. As long as it didn't get out of hand, the school would not intervene. During this period, he also tentatively expressed his hope that Xu Dongyang would protect them.

Xu Dongyang agreed to help them as long as they didn't cause trouble, and then he asked Chen Fan to take him to the cafeteria, as he was starving.

In this way, a group of people walked towards the cafeteria together. During the walk, Chen Fan also introduced the other people in the dormitory. Only one person named Wang Sheng seemed familiar to him and he took a closer look. He was a dark-skinned and honest child with a reserved look on his face.

Soon a group of people walked into the cafeteria. They thought they would encounter and have conflicts with children of nobles like in the original book, but in the end they did not see any children of nobles.

After looking around to make sure there was no trouble, Chen Fan said, "The cafeteria is divided into two levels. The food on the first floor is cheaper, while the food on the second floor is much more expensive. However, the food on the second floor is more nutritious." As he said that, he was going to take Xu Dongyang to get food on the first floor.
