Nan Xuanyu ignored Jin Xiang and Lu Qianxun, stepped back, and stood between his two roommates.

"Line up in a row!"

Lu Qianxun glanced at everyone and spoke.

He was the class monitor, and everyone usually listened to him.

They quickly formed a line.

His hands were clasped behind his back. His right palm was bright red and still trembling.

He had told them to line up because he did not want anyone to notice that his hand was injured.

"Xuanyu, I never expected you to keep such a low profile while being this powerful! I can't believe you're a Soul Grandmaster. That's incredible!"

Qian Lei was brimming with excitement. This was great—they would not be at the bottom anymore.

"I usually can't be bothered with them, but now I've realized that some people need to be taught a hard lesson from the very beginning. Otherwise, they always think they're so impressive and keep pushing their luck."

As he said this, he glanced at the class monitor, Lu Qianxun.

That bastard had also wanted to intimidate him during their handshake earlier.

Well, now the bones in his palm had nearly been crushed.

This counted as a warning.

If he dared provoke him again, he would teach him a proper lesson.

He would make him understand that Nan Xuanyu was not someone to mess with.

Nan Xuanyu chatted with Qian Lei and Liu Feng, and before they knew it, afternoon had arrived.

Everyone returned to the classroom for class.

That afternoon's lesson covered auxiliary professions.

There were many kinds of auxiliary professions, such as Mecha operation, warship piloting, Battle Armor design, Battle Armor production, Battle Armor forging, Battle Armor maintenance, and so on.

Choosing auxiliary professions was extremely important for the future.

The teacher required everyone to choose two auxiliary professions.

He merely brought it up and did not require them to make their choices immediately.

The afternoon classes ended quickly.

"There's still some time before dinner. How about we go train for a while? We can get familiar with each other's fighting styles so we can cooperate better in the future."

As they left the classroom, Liu Feng looked at Nan Xuanyu and Qian Lei and made the suggestion.

"Sure!"

Though Nan Xuanyu was a little hungry, he also wanted to see how capable his two roommates were in battle.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the training ground.

Thirty Simulation Pods were arranged in the training ground, and they had already registered earlier.

There were thirty students, each with their own dedicated Simulation Pod.

They were equipped with detailed recording instruments intended to log the students' use of the Simulation Pods.

They normally trained using Simulation Pods. That was the treatment afforded by the High-Energy Youth Class.

Once the three-man team connection was complete, a flash of light appeared. Nan Xuanyu felt his body grow light, and he appeared somewhere else.

Everything felt utterly real.

The three of them had appeared in a small town.

The streets were packed with bustling crowds, and it looked no different from the real world.

Only, the people here wore somewhat archaic clothing, full of ancient charm.

This was Douluo World, the Federation's largest simulated world, directly controlled by the Federation's highest central AI.

It was the most realistic virtual world. Some even said it was a soul master's second life.

Douluo World simulated the era of the Home Planet, Douluo Continent, in ancient times.

Those who trained here and achieved certain results would receive rewards.

These rewards could even be transferred back into the real world.

A while later, the three appeared at a training ground in Douluo World.

Dedicated staff members were there to receive them.

After paying one Douluo Coin, they entered a beginner training scenario.

It was a circular arena surrounded by elevated stands.

At that moment, it seemed there were people cheering from the stands.

Of course, since it was simulated, the sounds were not especially clear.

"Xuanyu, this should be your first time here, right? This is the Beast Fighting Arena in a beginner training scenario.

Next, we'll be attacked by at least fifty ten-year Soul Beasts and three hundred-year Soul Beasts.

No matter what, we have to kill them all. Otherwise, we'll have wasted our money.

If we win, not only will we get our money back, we'll also receive one Douluo Coin as a reward!"

Qian Lei quickly explained the situation before them.

"Let's just do it!"

Nan Xuanyu had great confidence in his own strength.

The Ancestral Dragon Bloodline could exert Bloodline Suppression over all Soul Beasts. It was an existence beyond the Golden Dragon King, the Silver Dragon King, and even the Dragon God.

The Ancestral Dragon was the most ancient dragon in legend.

It was the first dragon to appear between heaven and earth, the ancestor of all dragons and the progenitor of the dragon race.

It was even older and more powerful than the Dragon God.

With the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline in his body, Nan Xuanyu feared nothing.

Crack!

At that moment, the four iron gates around them opened almost simultaneously.

Low roars rang out one after another.

Figures charged in like the wind.

They were dog-like Soul Beasts, each around 1.2 meters long.

"Lava Dogs!"

They were a pack-dwelling type of Soul Beast.

Nan Xuanyu recognized them immediately.

His adoptive father, Lan Xiao, and adoptive mother, Nan Cheng, were both members of the Ancient Soul Beast Research Institute.

They had taught him a vast amount of knowledge about Soul Beasts since he was young.

That was why he recognized this type of Soul Beast at a glance.

They were powerful canine Soul Beasts whose innate ability was fire.

As they charged forward, flames were already burning across their bodies.

Fifty Lava Dogs rushed out at once.

The temperature throughout the Beast Fighting Arena rose sharply in an instant.

The three of them felt as though they were standing inside a steamer.

Before the battle had even begun, sweat was already running down their bodies.

"Move!"

Liu Feng shouted. He raised his right hand, and white light flickered in his palm.

A twelve-foot spear appeared in his grasp.

Its shaft was snow-white, with faint scale-like patterns.

The spearhead was shaped like a dragon's head, its extended tongue forming the spear tip.

It was his martial soul, the White Dragon Spear.

A yellow soul ring rose beneath his feet.

Qian Lei released his martial soul as well.

With a flick of his right hand, a golden coin appeared in his palm. It was the Summoning Gold Coin martial soul.

It could use money to summon other beings, such as Soul Beasts.

The summoned Soul Beasts existed in soul form and possessed roughly half their original strength.

Moreover, the summoned creature was linked to its summoner's thoughts, and the summoner could also fuse with it.

A yellow hundred-year soul ring rose beneath his feet.

His eyes suddenly turned an oily green.

An eerie aura radiated from his body.

Special energy fluctuations spread outward.

The three stood in a triangular formation as Qian Lei shouted:

"It's time to test our luck! Come forth, my Summoning Gate!"

The yellow soul ring flashed as he tossed the Summoning Gold Coin in his hand into the air.

As the Summoning Gold Coin emitted a burst of green light, it rapidly enlarged.

Green light flowed downward along both sides until it reached the ground.

It gradually formed the shape of a doorway.

The eerie energy fluctuations made the space within the gate instantly turn deep and dark.

Like a gate to the underworld, it was filled with strangeness and chilling dread.

"Roar..."

An earth-shaking Dragon's Roar rang out.

Nine-Colored Radiance burst from Nan Xuanyu's body, and nine-colored dragon scales covered him from head to toe.

The Ancestral Dragon Bloodline was activated.

Immediately, the Lava Dogs charging in from all directions slowed considerably.

Yet they still swiftly formed an encirclement and closed in on the three of them.
