Douluo Traversal: I Pulled Out a Dou Technique, and You Didn't Explode?

Liu Bai was still very weak, so he could not possibly go running around with them every day.

What he needed to do now was increase his strength!

Without strength, he would not even be able to make a ripple in the Dou Qi Continent.

And over in the Douluo World, he had now confirmed that Tang San was the same age as him.

Moreover, they could already be considered enemies.

The reason for their enmity was absurd enough. Just because Liu Bai had not answered that damn Grandmaster's damn question, that damn Tang San had held a grudge against him.

If it had been anyone else, Liu Bai would not even have cared about a mere verbal spat.

But Tang San...

He had probably already embarked on the path to death. Therefore, if Liu Bai wanted to ensure his own safety, he had to make some plans.

The first thing was those opportunities. Most importantly, the Immortal Herbs—the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had to be secured!

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was currently in Dugu Bo's hands. Taking it by force was impossible, so he could only find a way to get close to him.

As long as he helped Dugu Bo detoxify, given his temperament, he would not care if Liu Bai took a few Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

And getting close to Dugu Bo through the man himself was almost impossible.

He could only do so through his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan should currently be studying at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If he wanted to get close to her, going to Heaven Dou Royal Academy was imperative.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy claimed to accept only noble students, but as long as they were not truly stupid—stupid beyond saving—

With Liu Bai's talent, joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy would definitely be effortless.

The plan had been decided. Next came cultivation.

He arrived in the courtyard and took out a Dou Technique manual.

This Dou Technique was called Stone-Crushing Fist.

It was only an ordinary Yellow Tier Intermediate Dou Technique. There was also a movement technique called Roaming Cloud Steps, likewise Yellow Tier Intermediate.

These two Dou Techniques were not especially profound, but they were already the best Dou Techniques Ma Qi could provide at present.

Liu Bai did not mind. After all, he was only at the Dou Qi stage right now, and Yellow Tier Intermediate techniques were completely sufficient.

He planted his stance, punched, turned, kicked, and moved!

Liu Bai began training in the small courtyard.

Time passed day by day.

In the blink of an eye, a year had gone by.

Douluo World.

Heaven Dou City.

After a year, Liu Bai was seven years old. He bid farewell to Si Si and arrived in this magnificent city, Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

After a year of cultivation, Liu Bai's Soul Power had risen to level 16. Four levels in one year was an extremely rapid pace at this stage.

His Dou Qi had also risen to the fifth stage. At this rate, he would definitely reach the Dou Zhe realm before turning ten.

He would break Xiao Yan's record for becoming a Dou Zhe the fastest.

"Heaven Dou City really is prosperous. The gap between it and Nuoding City is enormous."

Walking along the streets of Heaven Dou City, Liu Bai took in the bustling prosperity around him.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy was known to everyone in Heaven Dou City. He only asked a few passersby before finding its location.

The current time had already passed Heaven Dou Royal Academy's enrollment period.

But he was still confident that he could enroll directly, so he came anyway.

When he arrived at the gates, the familiar plot unfolded. He was stopped once again.

This time, however, he had brought a letter of introduction from the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City.

This letter of introduction did not carry much weight in a place like Heaven Dou City, but it was at least enough to get him through the gates.

He was taken to an office. Before him stood a middle-aged man wearing a single gold-rimmed monocle.

The fluctuations of Soul Power from the man were stronger than those of anyone Liu Bai had seen in Nuoding City.

Anyone who could teach at Heaven Dou Royal Academy had to be at least a Soul King!

"So you're the one who wants to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Do you know that you've already missed the enrollment period? And you're too young. Heaven Dou Royal Academy's enrollment standard is twelve years old."

Liu Bai said nothing and merely summoned his Martial Soul.

Blazing Golden Flame ignited, and the temperature in the room rose instantly. At the same time, a yellow Soul Ring slowly rose.

"Allow me to introduce myself. Liu Bai, seven years old, Martial Soul Golden Flame, level 16 First Ring Power Attack System Battle Soul Master."

Silence. The room instantly fell silent.

The middle-aged man froze in place. The next instant, he appeared before Liu Bai as if he had used Teleportation and gently gripped his wrist with one hand.

Then he said excitedly,

"His bone age is correct. You really are seven! Level 16 at seven years old—what a genius! You said you want to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy? No problem, absolutely no problem! It's only past the enrollment period. I'll notify the Three Education Committees."

Before an absolute genius, no rule was a problem!

If they failed to seize a genius like Liu Bai, they would have to be insane!

Liu Bai put away his Martial Soul. He had not wanted to show off, but the man had not even finished reading his letter of introduction. It clearly stated later on that he was seven years old and level 16.

But the man had simply not kept reading. There was no helping it; Liu Bai could only show off in such a plain and unpretentious way.

It was not like he wanted to show off. You all saw it—I, Liu Bai, am the most low-key person around.

Very soon, word of Liu Bai reached the three Education Committee members.

When they heard about Liu Bai's talent, they were beyond excited and immediately said they wanted to see him in person.

Thus, Liu Bai was brought over again.

Before him stood the Three Education Committees of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Meng Shenji, chief of the Education Committee, an level 86 Control System Battle Soul Douluo, Martial Soul Black Demon.

Bai Baoshan, vice chief of the Education Committee, a level 85 Defense System Battle Soul Douluo, Martial Soul Heavenly Star Furnace.

Zhi Lin, third seat of the Education Committee, a level 83 Control System Tool Soul Douluo, Martial Soul Azure Vine.

All three were Soul Douluo.

"So this is the child who is level 16 at seven years old? Not bad, not bad. He truly looks outstanding. He looks quite spirited too. Child, come, summon your Martial Soul and let us have a look."

Meng Shenji could not help speaking as he looked at Liu Bai.

Liu Bai nodded and raised his hand directly.

His Martial Soul appeared again, and his Soul Ring rose.

"Good, good, good! Hahahaha! An elemental Martial Soul, and already level 16 at this age. His future is limitless, absolutely limitless! Child, from today onward, you are a student of Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

Liu Bai smiled. He knew it—the world ultimately valued strength and talent.

Only nobles allowed?

That was because your talent was not good enough!

Of course, it was not that Liu Bai agreed with the notion of accepting only nobles. He was merely stating a fact.

And in truth, on the Douluo Continent, noble Soul Masters were almost bound to be stronger than commoner Soul Masters.

That was because Martial Souls were themselves inherited through bloodlines. If your parents could become nobles, they were surely strong. Even if they were not, there must have been strong ancestors!

Then, because of that inheritance, noble Martial Souls would inevitably be of higher quality than those of ordinary commoners, and they would naturally have a greater chance of awakening Innate Soul Power.

Unless one encountered a rare Martial Soul mutation—and it had to be a beneficial mutation—turning one's life around was harder than climbing to the heavens.

People said Tang San rose from a useless Martial Soul to become a god. But was his Martial Soul really useless?

If the Blue Silver Emperor was a useless Martial Soul, then no one else needed to keep living. Not to mention that besides Blue Silver Grass, he also had a Clear Sky Hammer.

Huo Yuhao was useless enough, right? He only had level one Innate Soul Power. But was he really useless?

Everyone knew that the Spirit Eye was one of the highest-grade Body Martial Souls. And Huo Yuhao had cheats all the way through. Any one of those cheats, if given to another Soul Master, would have been enough to create an unparalleled powerhouse!

As for Grandmaster, there was nothing to argue about there. He really was useless.

Liu Bai cupped his hands.

"Yes, thank you, Three Education Committees."

The three Education Committee members waved their hands.

"Qin Yun, help Student Liu Bai arrange his dormitory and class."

Meng Shenji gave the order.

Qin Yun, the middle-aged man, nodded.

"Yes."

He then led Liu Bai away.

In just one day, arrangements for his dormitory, classroom, and everything else had all been completed.

The efficiency was extremely high.

This showed just how much Heaven Dou Royal Academy valued him.

He was directly assigned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Elite Seed Class.

After asking around, Liu Bai confirmed that it was the class where Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng, and the others had been in the original story.

There were simply a few more students. Barring any surprises, this was likely a class that gathered all the elite geniuses of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Heaven Dou's first team, Heaven Dou Second Team, and the team participating in this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament should all be in this class.

The next day.
