Nan Xuanyu didn't pay any more attention to Jin Xiang and Lü Qianxun, backing away to stand between his two roommates.
"Line up!"
Lü Qianxun glanced at everyone and said. He was the class monitor, and everyone usually listened to him.
They quickly lined up.
His hands were behind his back, and his right palm was red and still trembling. He made them line up because he didn't want others to see that his hand was injured.
"Xuanyu, I didn't expect you to be so strong when you usually keep a low profile! To think you're already a Soul Grand Master, you're amazing!" Qian Lei was filled with excitement; now, they wouldn't be at the bottom.
"I usually don't bother with them, but now I see that some people need a lesson from the start. Otherwise, they always think they're great and push their luck," he said, glancing at the class monitor, Lü Qianxun. The jerk had also tried to give him a hard time when shaking hands. Now, his palm bones were almost crushed by him. This time, it was a warning. Next time he dared to provoke him, he'd teach him a proper lesson. He'd make him understand that he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Nan Xuanyu chatted with Qian Lei and Liu Feng, and before he knew it, it was afternoon. Everyone returned to the classroom for lessons. The afternoon's class was about auxiliary professions. There were many auxiliary professions, such as mecha operation, warship piloting, battle armor design, battle armor production, battle armor forging, battle armor repair, and so on. The choice of an auxiliary profession was very important for the future. The teacher required everyone to choose two auxiliary professions. They were just mentioned, and they weren't required to make a decision immediately.
The afternoon class ended quickly.
"There's still a while until dinner. How about we go to the training ground for a while? Let's get familiar with each other's combat styles so we can cooperate better in the future," Liu Feng suggested to Nan Xuanyu and Qian Lei as they left the classroom.
"Sounds good!" Although Nan Xuanyu was a little hungry, he also wanted to see how his two roommates fought.
In a short while, the three of them arrived at the training ground. The training ground had thirty Simulation Pods, which had already been registered. Thirty people, each with their own Simulation Pod. It was equipped with detailed recording instruments to record the students' use of the Simulation Pods. They usually trained using the Simulation Pods; this was the treatment of the High-Energy Youth Class.
After the three-person team connected, a flash of light, and Nan Xuanyu only felt his body lighten, and he appeared in a place. Everything seemed so real. The place where the three appeared was a small town. The streets were filled with bustling crowds, which didn't seem any different from the real world. However, the people here were dressed somewhat anciently, with an antique feel. This was Douluo World, the Federation's largest simulation world, directly controlled by the Federation's highest main brain. It was the most realistic virtual world, and some people even said it was a Soul Master's second life.
Douluo World simulated the era of the Douluo Continent of the ancient Mother Star. If they trained here and achieved certain results, they would also receive rewards. These rewards could even be fed back to the real world.
After a while, the three appeared in the Douluo World training ground. There were people specially assigned to receive them. After paying a Douluo Coin, they entered a beginner training scenario. It was a circular venue surrounded by high platforms. At this moment, there seemed to be people cheering on the high platforms. Of course, because it was simulated, it wasn't very clear.
"Xuanyu, you should be entering for the first time, right? This is the arena of the beginner training scenario. Next, we will be besieged by at least fifty Ten-Year Soul Beasts and three Hundred-Year Soul Beasts. No matter what, we must defeat them, or the money will be wasted. If we win, we can not only get the money back but also get a Douluo Coin as a reward!" Qian Lei quickly explained the situation.
"Let's do this!" Nan Xuanyu was very confident in his strength. The Ancestral Dragon Bloodline could exert bloodline suppression on all Soul Beasts, surpassing the Golden Dragon King, the Silver Dragon King, and even the Dragon God. The Ancestral Dragon, the oldest dragon in legend. It was the first dragon to appear between heaven and earth, the ancestor of all dragons, the ancestor of the dragon clan. It was even more ancient and powerful than the Dragon God. With the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, Nan Xuanyu feared nothing.
Crack!
At this moment, the four iron gates around them were almost simultaneously opened.
Along with a series of low roars.
Figures had already charged in like the wind and lightning. They were Soul Beasts similar to dogs, about 1.2 meters long.
"Lava Hounds!"
It was a gregarious Soul Beast. Nan Xuanyu made the judgment immediately. His foster parents, Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng, were members of the Ancient Soul Beast Research Institute. They had instilled a lot of Soul Beast knowledge in him since he was a child. So he recognized this type of Soul Beast at a glance.
This was a very powerful canine Soul Beast, and its innate skill was fire. Flames were already burning on their bodies as they ran. Fifty Lava Hounds charged out at once. The temperature of the entire arena instantly rose a lot. The three of them felt as if they were in a steamer. Before the battle had even started, they were already starting to sweat.
"Attack!" Liu Feng shouted, raised his right hand, and white light flashed from his palm. A twelve-foot-long spear appeared in his grasp. The spear was snow-white, with scale-like markings. The spearhead was in the shape of a dragon's head, with its tongue sticking out as the spear tip. It was his Martial Soul, the White Dragon Spear. A yellow Soul Ring rose from his feet.
Qian Lei also released his Martial Soul. He flicked his right hand, and a golden coin appeared in his palm, the Summoning Coin Martial Soul. He could use money to summon other existences, such as Soul Beasts. The Soul Beasts summoned were in soul form, with about half of their original strength. And the summoned creatures were connected to the summoner's mind, and the summoner could fuse with the summoned creatures. A yellow, hundred-year Soul Ring rose from his feet. His eyes suddenly turned green. He emitted a strange aura. It released special energy fluctuations outward.
The three of them stood in a triangular formation, and Qian Lei shouted: "It's time to test our luck. Come on out, my Summoning Gate!"
The yellow Soul Ring flashed, and the Summoning Coin in his hand was thrown towards the void. While the Summoning Coin emitted a green light, it quickly enlarged. Green light flowed downwards from both sides, all the way to the ground. It gradually transformed into the shape of a portal. The strange energy fluctuations immediately made the inside of the gate become deep and dark. It was like a ghost gate, full of strangeness and terror.
"Roar..."
Along with a world-shattering dragon's roar.
Nan Xuanyu emitted nine-colored light, and Nine-Colored Dragon Scales covered his entire body. The Ancestral Dragon Bloodline was activated. Immediately, the speed of the Lava Hounds charging from all directions decreased significantly. But they still quickly formed a siege and surrounded the three of them.
