Chapter 55: The Seventh Livestream Begins, Battle of the Gods!
"You want to go to the library?"
After breakfast, while walking through the streets of Spirit City, Hu Liena looked at Lin Yu with surprise upon hearing his request.
This was a child who had grown up in a rural village, and after arriving in such a bustling and prosperous place like Spirit Hall, instead of asking her to take him around for fun,
he actually wanted her to take him to read books? It was unbelievable!
"Mm!"
Facing Hu Liena's astonished expression, Lin Yu nodded seriously and said,
"Nana-jie, didn't you say that my name is the same as the one in the livestream who answered a bunch of questions correctly? That Lin Yu was amazing!"
"My name is the same, but I can't do anything. I feel really useless."
"So I want to go to the library and study properly, maybe one day I'll be able to answer questions like he does!"
Without blushing or hesitating, Lin Yu shamelessly praised himself and stated his "intention."
"Hmm… that's not a problem, but… do you know how to read?"
After pondering for a moment, Hu Liena narrowed her beautiful eyes and gave him a soul-piercing question.
"Know how to read?"
As if suddenly realizing something, the corners of Lin Yu's mouth twitched.
Right… he didn't actually know how to read yet!
Damn!
Windmill Village was even poorer than Tang San's Holy Spirit Village.
There wasn't even a private tutor in the village. To attend school, you had to go to a bigger village nearby.
And he was an orphan in this life—where would he even get the opportunity?
Because of his experiences in his past life, he had subconsciously ignored this problem.
How embarrassing!
Seeing Lin Yu's dumbfounded expression, Hu Liena couldn't help but laugh, then gently reached out and patted his head.
"Alright, alright! Since you love learning so much, big sis will take you to the library."
"Although I can't read you all the books there because most are full of text, there are books about soul beasts that mainly have illustrations and brief introductions. I can read those to you."
With that, Hu Liena took Lin Yu to the Spirit City Junior Academy.
In Spirit City's public library, due to the livestream phenomenon, it was packed almost daily.
But the libraries at soul master academies were better.
Hu Liena planned to borrow a few books on soul beasts over the next few days.
She'd teach Lin Yu their contents daily, helping him learn while deepening their bond.
In the days that followed, Lin Yu spent his time this way.
Soon, a month had passed since the last livestream.
The seventh livestream began!
…
At the same time as before.
Lin Yu sat in a room within his courtyard.
As a formless wave swept across the entire Douluo Continent,
everyone was instantly pulled into the livestream space.
In front of them appeared a dark, deep illusionary space like a vacuum in the universe.
At the same time, a translucent screen floated before each person's eyes.
[Meng Shenji (sighs): A month has passed. I wonder what this livestream's questions and rewards will be this time!]
[Ning Fengzhi (smiles): With this longer interval, I suspect the difficulty of this livestream's questions will be higher than ever before.]
[Dai Tianfeng (confident smile): Haha! Even if it's harder, it doesn't matter. As long as the knowledge can be found in the texts, it all depends on our own abilities!]
[Dugu Bo (murmurs): I hope this time the livestream rewards will actually be useful to this old man!]
…
As the public chat filled the screen, messages flickered rapidly.
But while the conversation continued, the screen suddenly cut off.
The vast black space around them abruptly changed.
In the blink of an eye, a boundless plain appeared before everyone.
Then, as the camera panned swiftly,
they saw two massive encampments spread across the plains, filled with training soldiers—yet no sound could be heard.
Curiously, the soldiers, flags, and camps appeared blurred, as if covered in mosaic, making it impossible to tell which nation they belonged to.
"A war? Is this a battle between the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires?"
Seeing the two military camps, countless people were full of doubt.
Suddenly, a brilliant blue pillar of light burst from one of the camps, shooting into the sky with an overwhelming, divine aura.
Next, a figure clad in dazzling azure armor, with four pairs of blue wings on his back and wielding a blue trident, soared into the air.
Surrounding him were no less than ten shimmering blue-gold soul rings.
"The Sea God's Trident… ten blue-gold soul rings… Could this mean the Sea God has finally found a successor, and that successor has inherited the god's position?!"
Although the soldiers' appearances and bodies were all blurred,
the face of the blue-armored figure in the sky was only faintly obscured.
When Poseidon, currently on Sea God Island, saw the shining Sea God's Trident in his hand and the ten blue-gold soul rings around him, he was overjoyed.
But just then—
From the other army camp, a golden beam of light also shot into the sky, equally massive and awe-inspiring.
Then, a figure clad in radiant golden armor, with three pairs of golden wings, soared into the air. Judging by her chest, she was clearly female—though her face remained obscured.
In her hand, she held a magnificent golden greatsword, and ten golden soul rings circled her body.
Compared to the blue-armored figure,
this golden-armored female's identity wasn't fully clear, but the three pairs of golden wings behind her caused many who knew Spirit Hall's secrets—like Tang Xiao of the Clear Sky Sect and Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—to tremble in shock.
That martial soul—without a doubt, it was the Seraphim Martial Soul!
But ten golden soul rings… was she a god too?!
And what time period was this livestream showing?
If it was before the founding of Spirit Hall, this woman might be the very Angel God that Spirit Hall worships.
If not, then it meant someone from the Qian family of Spirit Hall had become a god in the future!
But a woman?
As far as they knew, the Qian family currently had no female heirs…
While countless people were shocked and confused by the information,
the blue-armored male god and the golden-armored female god clashed in the sky.
Their every move exploded with terrifying force—each casual strike surpassing the power of a Title Douluo's ninth soul skill.
If not for the fact that the battle took place at an altitude of thousands of meters,
the shockwaves from each collision would have been enough to reduce hundreds or thousands of soldiers below to dust.
