Douluo: I Can Become Stronger by Pitfalling Yu Xiaogang

All right, I saved my Lightning Triple Whip.

"Mubai, take them to complete the enrollment procedures, arrange their accommodations, and classes will officially begin tomorrow!"

"Yes, Teacher!" Dai Mubai answered, happily leading everyone into the academy.

Zhao Wuji turned around and watched Zhang Tianyu's retreating figure. In a low voice, he said, "This kid is really something. The academy has recruited a super monster this time!"

Recalling the shocking sight of black fire sword energy filling the sky, even Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, could not help but shudder.

Leaving aside the strange black fire's unique ability to attack only the soul, the sheer number of terrifying black fireballs and sword energies alone was enough. Under such saturated attacks, even Zhao Wuji, who excelled in defense and strength, would lose a layer of skin if he did not die.

"Only in his thirties, yet he can already do this much. If he reaches the forties or fifties, he could probably duel a Soul Douluo alone, right? Hehehe! A Soul King capable of fighting a Soul Douluo alone would be a super monster even among Shrek Academy's monsters!"

"Zhang Tianyu, you were so amazing just now!" Ning Rongrong clenched her two fair little fists, her face wearing the lovestruck expression of a young girl seeing her idol.

"Stay calm, keep a low profile. Basic stuff, don't make a fuss." Zhang Tianyu waved a hand.

"Huh?" Ning Rongrong and the others did not quite understand.

"It was just basic operations. No need to be surprised," Zhang Tianyu explained.

Sometimes, communicating with people from another world who did not understand memes was quite difficult.

Dai Mubai could not help saying, "That was basic stuff? Your soul skill was seriously too powerful!"

Xiao Wu proudly lifted her little chin. "He wasn't lying! It really was basic stuff! When we went to Soul Hunting Forest to help Tang San hunt a Soul Ring, Tianyu used that move to knock down a seven-hundred-year soul beast in one shot!"

Tang San smiled. "That's right. When Tianyu unleashed that move, all the surrounding soul beasts ran away in fright. Our target soul beast tried to run too, but it didn't get away."

"Goodness!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed in admiration.

Zhu Zhuqing did not say anything, but her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Zhang Tianyu.

Dai Mubai continued, "Using such a powerful soul skill must consume a huge amount of your Soul Power, right?"

"Ah, yes." Zhang Tianyu said.

In truth, the consumption was not that great.

The stronger a soul skill's power, the greater its Soul Power consumption. That was common knowledge, as well as a basic objective rule of this soul world.

However,

Zhang Tianyu's Martial Soul was simply too powerful.

For example, you could crush a swarm of ants with one finger. To the ants, that finger would be an ancient Divine Artifact, but to you, you merely moved a finger. And how much strength could moving a finger possibly consume?

The great power of Zhang Tianyu's soul skills mostly came from Huangquan's enhancement.

As long as he wielded Huangquan, he could unleash such powerful soul skills without consuming much Soul Power. And how much strength or Soul Power could wielding Huangquan really consume?

But he could not say that openly in front of these people.

He still needed to keep a somewhat low profile.

A boy being a little special could indeed attract girls' attention,

but if he was too special, he would attract more than just girls' attention.

Dai Mubai led everyone through paying the fees, completing enrollment, and arranging their dormitories. At last, the busy day came to an end.

Just like in the novel,

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun shared a room,

Oscar and Tang San shared a room,

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong shared a room,

and as for Zhu Zhuqing and Zhang Tianyu... of course they could not possibly share a room!

They each had their own single room.

After Zhang Tianyu had stayed in his dorm for a while, there came a knock on the door. When he opened it, Xiao Wu stood outside, graceful and slender.

Ning Rongrong had come with Xiao Wu as well.

"What's up?" Zhang Tianyu asked.

From the corner of his eye, he could see Ning Rongrong staring at him the whole time.

Ah, was this what it felt like to be watched by a beauty?

But I'm already used to it.

"We have nothing to do anyway, so we wanted to take a walk around the academy and familiarize ourselves with the surroundings. Do you want to come with us?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Uh? We're going out now?"

Zhang Tianyu suddenly realized something.

In the novel, after everyone fought Zhao Wuji, they had been exhausted and somewhat injured. So, after completing enrollment and settling into their dorms, they each rested and recovered in their rooms.

Then, the plot where they encountered Ma Hongjun only began the next day when they went out for breakfast.

But now, Zhang Tianyu had practically handled Zhao Wuji by himself. Everyone else had basically been cheerleaders, and Zhang Tianyu himself had not suffered any injuries...

Could the plot of encountering Ma Hongjun begin early?

"Yeah! You don't have anything to do either, right? Then let's go together!" As she spoke, Xiao Wu wrapped her arm around Zhang Tianyu's.

Naturally, Zhang Tianyu had no objections. Two such beautiful girls strolling around the academy with him—

What if they ran into a wild Ma Hongjun...

Although Zhang Tianyu did not think Ma Hongjun was a match for Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, he might still cause trouble. So Zhang Tianyu had to follow them. If they encountered a wild Ma Hongjun, he would directly subdue him, then deliver righteous judgment, carry out righteous justice, and confiscate the tools of the crime in one swift triple combo.

"Notice: Mission received [Justice Strikes]. Mission objective: Choose any one of Dai Mubai, Oscar, or Ma Hongjun and pitfall them once. The method and consequences are unrestricted, but you may not cause their death or expose yourself. Otherwise, the mission will fail. Mission reward: Reward Points +20, subsequent mission unlocked. Failure penalty: Diarrhea for one month."

Huh? What kind of failure penalty was that?

Why had it suddenly turned into a personal attack?

"It won't fail anyway, so what are you afraid of?" the system said.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Tianyu's forehead. "System, don't raise a flag!"

Farewell, Naked Pig!

I was confident the mission would not fail.

But my confidence was one thing; you jinxing it was another!

What if you were a cursed jinx?

The system said, "Relax. This mission has no time limit. The next mission will unlock whenever you complete it. As long as you don't kill anyone or expose yourself, it won't fail."

An hour later.

The three of them had roughly toured the academy and the village on the other side, and they had learned where the Cafeteria was.

However,

they did not encounter Ma Hongjun.

They did not even encounter a wild one.

Zhang Tianyu relaxed slightly. It seemed the plot that was supposed to happen tomorrow still had to wait until tomorrow.

"Now that we've finished looking around, Rongrong, what do you want to do?" Xiao Wu asked Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong thought for a moment. "Hmm... how about we go to Suotuo City? Classes don't start until tomorrow anyway, so it should be fine to go have some fun in Suotuo City today."

"Great idea!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. "Once classes officially start tomorrow, the teachers will probably impose a whole bunch of rules. We might not get another chance to go out and have fun for a while."

"Tianyu, are you going?" Ning Rongrong looked at Zhang Tianyu with sparkling eyes, her little face full of anticipation.

"I'm going," Zhang Tianyu said.

Ning Rongrong immediately beamed with joy, her big eyes curving into two lovely crescents.

Xiao Wu was not as scatterbrained as she looked. She immediately noticed that Ning Rongrong's attitude toward Zhang Tianyu seemed a little different.

This did not seem like simple affection between male and female classmates.

But she quickly let it go.

That only proved Tianyu was outstanding enough!

The young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had surely been pampered since childhood and must have seen many talented young men. Yet after meeting Zhang Tianyu on the first day, she had already developed an interest in and favorable impression of him. Did that not prove Tianyu was exceptional?

Anyway, Tianyu is my brother. Tianyu and I are the closest!

At the academy gates.

Only then did Xiao Wu realize a problem. "The academy is so remote, and there aren't any carriages. Are we walking there?"

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and smiled. "Did you forget? Tianyu can use Sword Flight."

Xiao Wu suddenly understood and looked at Zhang Tianyu.

Zhang Tianyu was a little speechless. Xiao Wu's intelligence really came in waves.

When she was having a smart moment, she was truly a clever little imp,

but when she was having a foolish moment, she was foolish in the most adorable way possible.

"Umm... Sword Flight isn't a problem, but there is one issue." Zhang Tianyu summoned Huangquan.

Including the hilt, it was only about 1.4 meters long.

Zhang Tianyu said helplessly, "My Martial Soul is only this big and can't grow larger, so..."

"So what?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"If all three of us stand on it, then either I'll have to hold you two, or you two will have to hold me."

"Uh..."

The two girls' fair little faces instantly flushed a little.

What did he mean, he held them or they held him? Wasn't it all the same?

Wasn't he the one taking advantage while they suffered?

"So that won't work," Xiao Wu said directly.

Tianyu holding me is fine, and me holding Tianyu is fine too,

but you, Ning Rongrong, absolutely not!

Ning Rongrong closed her already-open mouth, swallowing back the words that had reached her lips.

"Then we'll walk. We're all Soul Masters, so walking is no big deal. I'll hire a carriage for the trip back," Zhang Tianyu said.

"Okay." Xiao Wu readily agreed.

Ning Rongrong had no objections either.

By the time they arrived in Suotuo City, the sun was already setting, yet the city remained bustling with traffic and crowds.

Accompanying girls while they shopped was actually a very exhausting thing.

Any brothers with girlfriends surely understood Zhang Tianyu's feelings deeply.

No matter the world or plane, women always shopped for pretty clothes and jewelry, along with food and drinks,

while men just found a different place to play on their phones.

But simply lowering your head to play on your phone would not do. Your girlfriend would get angry.

To keep them from getting angry, you had to recite the following corresponding spells at the right moments:

"Ah! Pretty! So pretty!"

"Mm, it's very nice. It suits your temperament perfectly."

"I don't think this one is good. Your skin is so fair and delicate, so you need another color to bring it out."

"No, go change into another one. My girlfriend has to wear the most suitable clothes and the most suitable jewelry."

"I'll go buy you some milk tea."
