Chapter 3: Heaven Dou Royal Academy (2)
🕑 Added 2025-04-19 04:26:09 +0000 UTCFacing the gazes from the two teachers, Lu Buliang did not show much emotional change on the surface, but he was secretly happy in his heart. He remembered that the original book mentioned a character named Qin Ming.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy has seven young students who are extremely outstanding in both martial soul quality and soul power talent. They are Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Osler, Yufeng, Shimo, Shi Mo, and Ye Lingling.
These seven people form the first team of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
This team is the most outstanding team of young soul masters in Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and it is also the team led by Qin Ming.
After listening to the conversation between Qin Ming and the middle-aged teacher, Lu Buliang was almost certain that his plan to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy had been realized.
Not only that, if he performs well, he might be able to directly join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s first team as an auxiliary soul master.
Then he could get information about the green phosphorus snake venom and Dugu Bo from Dugu Yan, or use Dugu Yan as a springboard to meet Dugu Bo.
Then, the plan to obtain the magical herb will become a natural outcome.
“Your name is Lü Buliang, right?” Qin Ming said directly, “I heard your conversation with Teacher Sun just now. You said that the special thing about your shadow martial soul is that it is an all-round martial soul, and your soul skills can control the enemy and assist teammates. I can imagine that you can control the enemy’s shadow to achieve the control effect. But I can’t imagine how your shadow martial soul can assist your teammates?”
Lü Buliang put aside all his fantasies about future plans and answered truthfully, “My first soul skill is called Shadow Locking. It can lock onto shadows within a certain range. The target whose shadow is locked will have nowhere to hide. No matter how he hides, I can easily find him.”
“My second soul skill is called Shadow Attack. It can turn a target that is locked onto a shadow into a shadow state, giving it the ability to freely shuttle in the shadow area for half an hour, with a distance limit of one hundred meters. During the shadow state, it can block the enemy’s mental detection, and the speed and attack attributes are increased by 50%. The shadow state can also be immune to any kind of physical attack, but it cannot be immune to soul skill attacks and abnormal states caused by elemental attributes such as paralysis, burns, frostbite, and poisoning.”
Hearing this, Qin Ming and the middle-aged teacher looked at each other and saw the surprise on each other’s faces.
Before Lu Buliang introduced the effect of the third soul skill, Qin Ming was already excited. Let his teammates move freely in shadow form for half an hour, during which time they can move freely in the shadow area within a hundred meters, and their attack and speed attributes will be increased by 50%?
No matter which team, once assisted by this soul skill, they will become a shadow army, killing people invisibly by blocking mental detection and being in a shadow state that appears and disappears without a trace.
This is simply an extremely offensive auxiliary soul skill. It can be said that this soul skill exists for assassination.
If this auxiliary soul skill can be used on a well-trained army, then wouldn’t this army be invincible and unbeatable?
“Shadow attack? If a shadow wants to launch a sneak attack, who can defend against it?” After pondering for a moment, Qin Ming suppressed the shock in his heart, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Buliang had obviously changed.
Lu Buliang smiled and said, “Teacher Qin, my second soul skill can improve the team’s combat effectiveness. It should be the auxiliary effect you want, right?”
Qin Ming did not reply. He looked at the middle-aged teacher and said seriously, “Teacher Sun, leave Lü Buliang to me. After I have settled him, I will apply to the Mengshenji Education Committee for a place as a special student. I think the three Education Committee members will definitely not reject such an outstanding genius.”
“Okay, thank you for your help.” The middle-aged teacher picked up a data card from the table and handed it to Qin Ming. He then told Lu Buliang, “Just follow Teacher Qin. From now on, you just need to follow Teacher Qin’s arrangements for everything in the academy.”
Lu Buliang nodded and followed Qin Ming into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The moment he stepped into the college gate, what caught Lu Buliang’s eyes was a spacious forest path paved with stone slabs and lined with dense trees on both sides.
After walking for a distance behind Qin Ming, Lu Buliang came to a stone staircase. The direction of the stone staircase was the top of the mountain, where teaching buildings, dormitory buildings and various facilities were built.
Walking up the stone steps and breathing the fresh air, Lu Buliang recalled the memories of hiking with his friends on Earth. He felt deeply moved and thought that he would have to live on Douluo Continent in this life.
Father, mother, friends, everything on Earth will have nothing to do with me anymore.
A new life is about to begin.
“It’s getting late. I’ll take you to the dormitory building and book a room for you. From today on, you are a student of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.”
As they walked, Qin Ming was also arranging Lu Buliang’s daily life in Heaven Dou Royal Academy. “The academy dormitories are all single rooms. You are an outstanding student, and all your living expenses will be provided by the academy. Buliang, I hope you will work hard to cultivate and bring honor to the academy in the future.”
Lu Buliang nodded, “I will.”
Qin Ming continued, “Tomorrow I will explain the academy’s rules and regulations, as well as the academy’s class divisions, to you one by one. Once you adapt to the academy’s life, I will arrange you to the Heaven Dou Class 1 as soon as possible, and then introduce you to the seven members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 1.”
Lu Buliang nodded again. He knew from the original book that Heaven Dou Royal Academy divided classes and teachers according to the level of soul power, from low to high, they were Tianwei level, Tianzhi level, and Tiandou level.
No matter whether they are students or teachers, those who can be classified as Tiandou level are undoubtedly the most outstanding in the academy. Their own cultivation talent may not be considered a genius, but the team combat ability exerted by the shadow martial spirit is definitely unmatched by any genius.
How can the soul rings and soul skills given by the system be bad in effect?
“Okay, this is the dormitory building.”
Halfway up the stone steps, standing halfway up the mountain are two buildings that are more magnificent than high-end hotels.
Qin Ming introduced, “The division of the dormitory building is very simple. The one on the left is the male dormitory, and the one on the right is the female dormitory. The division of the dormitory is also determined by level. The top floor of the dormitory building is the residence of Tiandou level students. In order, it is Tianzhi level, Tianwei level.”
Lü Buliang was shocked by the two dormitory buildings that looked like high-end hotels. He asked curiously, “Can top students live in such luxurious dormitories?”
Qin Ming nodded and said, “Yes. In a sense, the treatment of outstanding students is better than those nobles, because everything is provided by the academy. Not only that, they can also receive a certain amount of gold soul coins every month. If you bring honor to the academy, the treatment will be multiplied several times.”
“The academy is under the jurisdiction of the empire, right?” Lu Buliang asked in a low voice, “I have received so many benefits from the academy. Doesn’t that mean I must join the empire after graduating from the academy?”
Qin Ming shook his head, “Not necessarily. The Empire will not force any soul master to recruit. It will only give soul masters all kinds of unimaginable benefits. Accepting these benefits is equivalent to joining the Empire. If you do not accept, the Empire will not embarrass any soul master. After graduation, you can choose to join the Empire, or you can choose to remain neutral.”
“However, you are a talent cultivated by the empire and have been deeply favored by the empire. If you do something to let the empire down in the future, your reputation will definitely be affected.”
“Whether to join the Empire or not is something you don’t need to think about yet. You should now think about how to use the resources provided by the academy to quickly become stronger. Come on, I’ll take you to register first.”
“——”
After completing all the registration procedures, Lu Buliang was assigned to Room 6 on the top floor of the dormitory.
Whether it is a boys’ or girls’ dormitory, the top floors are always occupied by Tiandou-level students whose soul power has reached level 30 or above.
According to Qin Ming, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling from Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s team were both living on the top floor of the girls’ dormitory, while Yu Tianheng, OSRO, Yu Feng, Shi Mo Shi Mo and five others were living on the top floor of the men’s dormitory, in rooms one to five respectively.
Lu Buliang arrived later, so he lived in room six.
The rest of the rooms are where other Heaven Dou-level students live.
Qin Ming first took Lu Buliang to the teaching building on the top of the mountain for a tour, and then took him to the dormitory building halfway up the mountain to find a dormitory.
Room 6 on the top floor of the men’s dormitory is easy to find.
The room numbers increase in sequence from left to right. Walking straight to the left along the corridor, Lu Buliang found that every dormitory he passed by was very dark. It was night time and there were no lights in any dormitory. Only the lights in the corridor were on.
Qin Ming said, “The school playground and most of the simulated training grounds are closed before eight o’clock. Before eight o’clock, everyone is practicing desperately, so no one can be seen in the dormitory.”
Lü Buliang was slightly surprised. “Can those noble students be so diligent in their training?”
“The noble students living on the upper floors are all geniuses of the academy, so they are naturally different from the students on other floors.” Qin Ming explained, “Geniuses also need to work hard to cultivate. In the world of soul masters, geniuses are the ones who fear being surpassed the most.”
“Okay, this is room six, your dorm.”
Arriving at the door of Room 6, Qin Ming took out the key and opened the door.
After walking into the room and turning on the light, Lu Buliang was shocked by the scene inside. It was a spacious room, about 50 square meters in size, with a big bed with bedding, cabinets beside the bed, a wall at the head of the bed, and a smooth floor at the foot of the bed.
Everything is so clean.
Lu Buliang thought that this room was more like an apartment than a dormitory. On Earth, it would at least have two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, with all kinds of furniture.
“Fuck, Heaven Dou Royal Academy is really extraordinary. A few months ago, I was sleeping in a cave outside the Star Dou Great Forest. Now I live in such a luxurious dormitory. Will I not be punished by heaven?”
Lu Buliang jumped a few times while sitting on the bed. The bed was very elastic, like a trampoline. It could probably sleep three people, and it felt very exciting to rock it.
“From now on, you have to wear school uniforms in the academy. This is the rule.” Qin Ming put the school uniform on the table, walked out of the room, and called, “Buliang, come out first. I’ll introduce you to the neighbors around.”
