Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

TL: BluVerse

He had already given up on the idea. Who knew what this kid might do if he got hold of the forbidden arsenal.

This kid seemed to have an unusual passion for immensely powerful forbidden weapons.

Although Lan Xuanyu had been kicked out, his Ring of Fate now contained three glowing yellow orbs of "God's Wrath," a piece of separately stored divine-grade metal, and a pendant.

The pendant's core was also crafted from divine-grade source material, but it was one of Tang Sect's latest technological marvels. It couldn't generate immense destructive power, but it could instantly release a powerful defense. With a defense range of ten meters in diameter, once activated, it would create a protective shield centered on Lan Xuanyu's body with a ten-meter radius. The shield could last for a minute, and its defensive strength was equivalent to that of a Dragon King-class escort ship. Even an eleventh-level powerhouse couldn't break through the shield of a Dragon King-class escort ship. Even a super god-level powerhouse would need time to break it from the outside. In other words, it was essentially an invincible shield.

This could be used three times.

Were Meng Fei and Tang Miao really stingy with Lan Xuanyu? Of course not. The value of this invincible shield pendant alone exceeded that of thirty-six orbs of God's Wrath combined. So far, only three of these pendants had been made by the entire Tang Sect. It was called "God's Protection." This meant that even when Lan Xuanyu used God's Wrath, he could remain safe with the defense of God's Protection, even without the three-meter shield of God's Wrath. God's Protection could also be activated reactively; when powerful external energy pressure was detected, it would automatically trigger.

Although Lan Xuanyu didn't know the exact value of God's Wrath combined with God's Protection, he could guess that it was beyond monetary measurement. Its value was just too high.

He didn't bring back much, but Lan Xuanyu's goal was already fully achieved. With the three orbs of God's Wrath, which were weapons of mass destruction, there were countless things he could do.

Even on his way back to the academy, his mind was still filled with images of the forbidden arsenal. There were so many valuable items inside, and he didn't know what they were used for. The God's Protection around his neck was taken from the deepest part of the arsenal. Clearly, the items inside the forbidden arsenal were arranged by their importance. He really wanted to know what those items were for! That blue bottle must be even more powerful than God's Wrath.

It wasn't until nightfall that Lan Xuanyu's mind gradually settled down. He entered the meditation room, ready to meditate and train.

What he needed most now was to improve his cultivation and strive to break through to higher levels as soon as possible. No matter how powerful a weapon was, it was still external. Only by becoming strong oneself can one truly be powerful.

The scene of Tang Wulin transforming into a giant dragon thousands of meters long to rescue Nana on the surface of a star left a profound impression on him. It made Lan Xuanyu realize that when personal strength reaches a certain level, it can indeed rival technology.

Just then, Lan Xuanyu's soul communicator rang.

The call was from Tang Zhenhua.

"Teacher Tang," Lan Xuanyu answered the call.

Tang Zhenhua's voice came from the other side, "Tomorrow morning, log into Douluo World."

"Ah?" Lan Xuanyu was a bit surprised. "Is it the space version or the regular version?"

"The regular version," Tang Zhenhua replied.

Lan Xuanyu asked curiously, "Teacher Tang, haven't we already graduated?" They had already graduated from the outer court, and logically, they should either be heading to the military or the inner court. What was the point of logging into Douluo World?

Tang Zhenhua explained, "This is a crash course. You will soon be going to the military, where you'll be executing missions in the dangerous Dragon Horse Galaxy, specifically with the Seventh Fleet that you’ve seen before. There, you will encounter very powerful opponents. Since you were just students before and have never actually been on the battlefield, the academy has decided that it’s necessary to test and crash-train your combat skills. The battlefield is no child's play; often, it’s a matter of life or death."

"Understood." Lan Xuanyu confirmed the time. A crash course in combat skills? It was more about the mindset of killing, wasn't it?

In terms of ability, their graduation from the outer court already spoke volumes, but when it came to killing enemies, the mindset was the real hurdle to overcome.

This was something that even the Seven Sacred Abyss couldn't instill.

After a night of meditation, early the next morning, Lan Xuanyu logged into his simulation pod at the designated time. He hadn’t entered Douluo World for quite a while.

The hatch closed, and shortly after, lights flickered, and he was scanned into Douluo World.

Soon, he saw his classmates at the gathering spot.

"Boss!" Qian Lei greeted him with a big smile and gave Lan Xuanyu a bear hug. Everyone else was there too, and seeing Lan Xuanyu, they all seemed very excited.

While they didn't know the identities of Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, they were aware that Teacher Nana had been rescued. She was their savior, after all! Moreover, they had all been admitted to Shrek Academy's inner court without the usual requirements, which was fantastic news, especially for those with weaker cultivation levels. It was something they had never dared to dream of before.

So now, the whole class was in high spirits. Just looking at them, Lan Xuanyu could feel their excitement.

Before Tang Zhenhua arrived, Lan Xuanyu clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to him.

"The academy's crash course isn't without purpose. They say it's to train our combat skills, but it's more about our mindset when facing enemies. Soon, we'll be heading to the Seventh Fleet, joining the military, and becoming soldiers. Soldiers have many qualities, and even though we're joining temporarily, it's important to be mindful of this. Once we're in the military, we'll be facing real warfare, and on the battlefield, there’s no room for mercy. So, please, everyone, stay strong."

"Boss, don't worry. It's just killing enemies, right? We won't have any issues killing aliens," Qian Lei said with a laugh.

Lan Xuanyu glanced at him and noticed that most of the others shared a similar mindset to Qian Lei's—excited, eager, with smiles on their faces.

With a sigh, Lan Xuanyu gave everyone a meaningful look and said, "I hope your excitement lasts for a while."

He could notice the problems, so there was no way the academy wouldn't. Currently, the mindset of Thirty-Three Sky Wings was a bit off—they were overly excited and didn't have a clear understanding of what it meant to join the military. Moreover, Lan Xuanyu had long since realized that his classmates were overly dependent on him.

Previously, in order to help the entire class get into the inner court together, he hadn't intentionally tried to control this dependency, but now that they were in the inner court, things were different. The inner court's future learning process would certainly not be easy, and just getting in didn't guarantee they would graduate. There were still many challenges they would face in the future. So, it was necessary to give them some "reminders" while they had the chance.

Therefore, he didn't warn everyone that the upcoming crash training might not be so simple. They needed this kind of toughening.

At that moment, Tang Zhenhua arrived.

Today, Teacher Tang looked particularly spirited. His hair was cut short and stood up straight, and his expression was cold, giving him a somewhat iron-blooded military demeanor.

Lan Xuanyu took the initiative to approach him. "Teacher Tang."

"Mm. All of you, follow me," Tang Zhenhua said, then turned around and started walking.

Everyone quickly followed, trailing behind him. By this time, the sharper ones had already sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

Ding Zhuohan caught up from behind and nudged Lan Xuanyu. When Lan Xuanyu turned his head to look at him, Ding Zhuohan gave him a questioning look. Lan Xuanyu shrugged, indicating that he also didn’t know the details of the training.
