Chapter 135 - Closed Door Forging (1/2)

If they were to actually have a purple thousand-year soul ring as their first ring, then when they reached the Spirit Sea realm, they would be able to have three thousand-year spirit souls. This meant that they would have the chance to become a t.i.tle Douluo.

Naturally, this was only a chance. An extremely small chance too, since a t.i.tle Douluo with only three thousand-year spirit souls — a total of nine purple rings — had never appeared before; they would be too weak!

Take Wu Zhangkong for example. He currently possessed six rings and had a ten-thousand-year spirit soul. Just how powerful was he?

“It seems like the academy really is planning for that?” Zhang Yangzi gulped. Although his ambitions had always been to become a powerful expert, his nature was actually that of a straightforward and kind person. It was due to these ambitions that he had acted so arrogantly when he'd first met Tang Wulin's trio.

Xie Xie said, “That's probably what they're planning. If this really is true, then that'll be great for us. We will definitely have to treasure every chance we get when we enter the spirit ascension platform.”

Tang Wulin said, “I'm not going to go out to play then. I plan on going to the Blacksmith's a.s.sociation to temper myself a bit.”

Gu Yue said, “I'm going to meditate.”

w.a.n.g Jinxi looked at Tang Wulin with grief-filled eyes, forcing Tang Wulin to laugh. “Jinxi, I'll be back at night. Don't worry.”

“Ahem! Jinxi, when did you become a jealous woman?” Zhang Yangzi poked fun at w.a.n.g Jinxi as he patted him on the shoulder.

Everyone knew that Tang Wulin and w.a.n.g Jinxi complemented one another when dual cultivating.

w.a.n.g Jinxi shot him a glare. “If you can help me cultivate an extra half a rank in three months, then I'll also act like a jealous woman to you too. Wulin, can I go with you? Or maybe I'll pick blacksmithing as my secondary occupation too? Do you think I have any talent for it?'

Tang Wulin said, “I still think it's best if we all have secondary occupations different from one another so that in the future, we'll be able to help each other out when we start making our own battle armor.”

Xie Xie said, “That makes sense. I've already decided on my secondary occupation anyway. I'll be a mecha maker! A mecha maker doesn't require too much technical knowledge, but instead focuses on practicing technique. I think it's quite suitable for me. What about you guys?”

Zhang Yangzi said, “I'm still not sure yet.”

Gu Yue said, “I think I'll study mecha mechanics.”

“Ah? You want to study mecha mechanics? But you're a girl! I thought you would choose mecha designing,” said Xie Xie with shock.

Gu Yue coldly said, “Only brainless people would think like that.”

“You…”

“Alright, you two hurry up and go back to rest and eat.” Tang Wulin could only helplessly look at his two quarreling friends. He'd already gotten used to their bickering long ago.

After getting to know the others these last few months, Tang Wulin discovered that Zhang Yangzi and w.a.n.g Jinxi had the best relations.h.i.+p, while Xie Xie and Gu Yue were like fire and water. Although Gu Yue seemed gentle on the outside, her real personality was rather haughty, and she kept a distance from the other three.

The funny thing was, everyone had a good relations.h.i.+p with Tang Wulin, so he acted as the team's mediator.

Tang Wulin was grateful for having companions such as these. He had been born with a trash martial soul and his cultivation was the weakest among them, yet he was allowed to enter cla.s.s zero and study together with these geniuses. He couldn't slack off now that he had found himself in a good situation. Although his cultivation speed was still the slowest among them, he had improved greatly compared to his old self.

Tang Wulin's att.i.tude went through an amazing change ever since he'd come to Eastsea Academy. He no longer compared himself against these geniuses, and simply compared himself to himself. As long as his cultivation speed kept increasing, he would be satisfied.

The final exam was approaching, and it was also a team exam. As the captain and the one with the weakest cultivation, he carried within him an enormous amount of responsibility.

After eating dinner and doing some light exercises, he started meditating. During his meal, he had already decided on his plan for the next three days.

Early morning of the next day.
