Chapter 5: Heaven Dou Royal Academy (4)
🕑 Added 2025-04-19 04:27:20 +0000 UTCHeaven Dou Royal College, male dormitory building.
Room six.
In the room.
After taking a shower and changing into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy uniform, Lu Buliang sat on the spacious and clean floor to meditate and practice.
Soul energy overflowed from his body and swirled around him. Three yellow and purple soul rings moved rhythmically up and down his body, emitting their own light.
On the smooth floor, Lu Buliang’s shadow was reflected under the light.
If it is someone else’s shadow, it is just a shadow formed by light shining on an opaque object.
Lu Buliang’s shadow is different. His shadow is not an ordinary shadow, but a martial spirit.
No matter which world it is, the existence of shadows is a natural phenomenon, just like rain and thunder.
It is common for soul masters to use natural elements such as wind, thunder, fire, water, and earth as their martial souls, but there has never been such a precedent on the continent for soul masters to use natural phenomena as their martial souls.
Because of this, Lu Buliang was qualified to become an outstanding student and was able to realize his plan to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
What he had to do now was to approach Dugu Yan as an auxiliary soul master of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, and then inquire about the news about her grandfather Dugu Bo, and at the same time understand the toxicity of the green phosphorus snake venom, so as to better plan how to break the poison array set up by Dugu Bo with the green phosphorus snake venom in the Sunset Forest.
Lu Buliang firmly believed that after passing through the poison array, everything would become a natural result, and the two extreme spiritual energies produced by the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire would not take his life all at once.
If there is really no other choice, he can only rely on his relationship with Dugu Yan to meet Dugu Bo, and enter the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire with Dugu Bo’s permission and protection.
One is to rely on yourself, the other is to rely on others.
Of these two options, Lu Buliang would of course choose the former if he had the ability. There are no eternal friends when it comes to interests, and Lu Buliang would not choose to trust Dugu Bo, whom he had never met. At the same time, he also wanted to monopolize the opportunity of the magical grass near Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Although I have not systematically studied the knowledge about magical herbs, I have not forgotten the various magical herbs described in the original works.
Lu Buliang could identify the magic herbs and pick them based on the description in the original work.
When planning for the immortal herbs, Lu Buliang already had a very clear goal, which was to first pick the immortal herbs that could annihilate all poisons and have a fragrant and beautiful aroma.
Firstly, having this best anti-venom herb on hand can ensure that one will not be harmed by the venom of the green phosphorus snake.
Secondly, the Breaking clan, who are proficient in refining medicine and making poisons, are eager to obtain the Aromatic Silk Beauty fairy grass. According to the description in the original book, the clan leader Yang Wudi has reached an extremely obsessed level with refining medicine and making poisons. He said that he was willing to exchange his life for the Aromatic Silk Beauty fairy grass.
Then, Yang Wudi should agree to exchange the Breaking Clan’s medicine and poison making technology for the Aromatic Silk Beauty fairy grass.
Lu Buliang was thinking that since he had the opportunity to obtain magical herbs and various rare treasures, he must of course maximize the value of these treasures.
And refining medicine and making poisons can do just that.
Therefore, after obtaining the Aromatic Silk Beauty fairy grass, Lu Buliang planned to find a powerful backer and then go to the Breaking clan to trade. He wanted to find a way to exchange the Aromatic Silk Beauty fairy grass for the skills of refining medicine and making poisons. After learning how to refine medicine and make poisons, the herbs growing on the edge of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire would be real treasures for him.
There are deviations between all plans and practice. Lu Buliang doesn’t know whether this plan can be as smooth as joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He only knows that once he has a plan, he should take action and give it a try regardless of success or failure.
This was because, apart from his shadow martial soul and three soul skills, he had no other abilities, no heaven-defying skills to bless him, no powerful system to accompany him, and even his physique was that of an ordinary soul master.
If he wanted to measure his own strength, Lu Buliang knew that he was just an ordinary Soul Master. His talent could not be compared with Yu Tianheng, Tang San and others. Even Ma Hongjun’s talent was much better than his.
If you want to obtain extraordinary physical fitness and grow faster than others in a short period of time, the only way is to take the two ice and fire magic herbs mentioned in the original book, and then jump into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes for cleansing, so that the body and shadow martial soul can undergo earth-shaking changes.
This is the only way of counterattack that Lu Buliang can think of. All success or failure in the future will depend on the opportunity of the magic grass.
Outside the room.
It is already eight o’clock in the evening. The training venues such as the simulated training area, the playground, and the fighting spirit arena have all been closed. After finishing a day of training, the students rushed back to the dormitory to rest.
However, only those living on the top floors of the dormitory can see such diligent students. The students living on relatively lower floors are relatively lazy, or they are too disdainful to practice. Naturally, the strength and talent of these students are weaker.
The students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy are indeed a mixed bunch, just as described in the original novel. Two-thirds of the students are just here to get by, but there are some students with lofty ideals, and they are all striving to become Titled Douluo.
Yu Tianheng and his seven companions were one of them.
After finishing the conversation with Qin Ming on the playground, Yu Tianheng and the other seven returned to their dormitories. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling lived in the girls’ dormitory.
So the only five people who returned to the boys’ dormitory were Yu Tianheng, Oslo, Yufeng, Shimo and Shimo.
On the way back to the dormitory, the five of them were still discussing the topic of new recruits. They were inevitably a little alienated by the addition of Lü Buliang. After all, the positions of the seven members in the team were already deeply entrenched, and they were a little uncomfortable with who would be replaced when Lü Buliang came on the field.
Especially since Lu Buliang is an auxiliary soul master, he may snatch Ye Lingling’s position at any time.
This was even more unacceptable to Oslo and Yufeng.
The whole academy knows that in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, Yu Tianheng is chasing Dugu Yan, while Oslo and Yu Feng are chasing Ye Lingling. The Shi brothers are two wooden men.
What if Lü Buliang joins and accidentally snatches away both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling?
This is what Oslo and Yufeng are worried about. Yu Tianheng is not worried that Lü Buliang will snatch Dugu Yan away, because Dugu Yan is as vicious and shrewd as a venomous snake. If it is so easy to trick her, Yu Tianheng would have succeeded long ago. Why did he pursue her for two years without success?
“Tsk. His innate soul power is level seven, and he’s only level thirty-five at the age of eighteen. I thought that Lu Buliang had outstanding talent, but it turns out he’s not even as good as me.”
Walking in the dormitory corridor, Oslo snorted disdainfully, “I am sixteen years old now, two years younger than him, but my soul power has reached level thirty-four. If I practice for another month or two, I might be able to reach level thirty-five. With his talent, I really don’t know what Teacher Qin Ming sees in him.”
“Oslo, you can’t say that.” Yu Tianheng said disapprovingly, “Lü Buliang is a support-type soul master, and his training speed is slower than our combat soul masters. If he can cultivate to level 35 soul power at the age of 18 when the training resources are not very good, it is not bad.”
“Tianheng, why are you speaking for an outsider?” Oslo said angrily, “Teacher Qin asked you to act like a captain, do you really want to take good care of him? Be careful that as soon as he joins the team, he will set his sights on Sister Yanzi. Then we’ll see if you can still act like a tolerant and generous captain!”
Yu Tianheng snorted coldly, “My talent and strength are undoubtedly outstanding no matter which academy I am in. I spent two years trying to deal with Yanyan, but Yanyan still doesn’t like me just based on my talent. Moreover, Yanyan said that, excluding Lingling, she has no good impression of other auxiliary spirit masters. They are too weak.”
“Don’t forget it.” The big guy Shi Mo who was walking at the end reminded, “Teacher Qin said that Lu Buliang is not an ordinary auxiliary system. Think about it, Lingling’s Nine-Hearted Begonia is so domineering, and Lu Buliang’s shadow martial spirit may really have some extraordinary features.”
“Shi Mo, I would have forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it.” Yu Feng said with a smile, “Ling Ling is fifteen years old this year, but her soul power has already reached level thirty-three. As a fellow auxiliary soul master, Lu Buliang doesn’t seem to be as talented as Ling Ling. I guess Teacher Qin has found another loser this time. Didn’t we have this situation before? In the end, he was forced to leave our team because of his lack of ability. Otherwise, Room 6 wouldn’t have been empty all this time.”
Upon hearing this, Oslo burst into laughter, “Yufeng, you actually said such contemptuous words in such a gentle tone. No wonder Lingling said you are a sinister birdman.”
At this moment, the conversation of the five people came to an abrupt end. Yu Tianheng, who was walking in front, stopped, and the others also stopped. They were now at the door of Room 6. Through the window, they saw a man sitting on the floor in Room 6, which had been vacant.
The man's delicate face did not look particularly handsome, but the luxurious school uniform of Heaven Dou Royal Academy gave him a unique temperament, and it was completely impossible to tell that he was a commoner with the title of outstanding student.
“That guy is Lü Buliang?” Oslo pressed his face against the window, quietly watching Lü Buliang sitting in meditation in the room. “From his appearance, he doesn’t look like a commoner at all, that bastard.”
“He has finished his training.” Shi Mo saw Lü Buliang standing up and immediately asked Yu Tianheng, “Captain, should we go in and say hello to him?”
Without waiting for Yu Tianheng to respond, Oslo said, “Of course. Didn’t Teacher Qin say that we should take good care of him? Yufeng, let’s go in and take good care of him, and see what’s the difference between him and other auxiliary spirit masters.”
Yufeng smiled triumphantly and rubbed his hands, “Oslo, then tell me, what should we do?”
“Nonsense.” Oslo snorted, “As future teammates, of course we have to use our strength to test his uniqueness for everyone.”
