In the following days, Xu Yang, according to the class schedule, spent the remaining time besides the necessary classes and cultivation in the library, searching for knowledge that interested him.
After searching for nearly a week, he actually found a few books that interested him, namely books on Soul Tool manufacturing. Although they were incomplete, they had corresponding inheritances. Even if he couldn't manufacture a level nine fixed-mounted Soul Tool cannon, manufacturing a level two or three Soul Tool ray was not a problem.
"As expected of the royal family, they even have Soul Tool inheritances!"
Happily putting the books away, Xu Yang planned to go back and study them. However, there was one thing he didn't understand, which was why the Soul Masters of the continent were so disgusted with Soul Tools, and even had so few inheritances.
You should know that he had searched in the library for seven days before he found these four books on Soul Tools in a corner. The books were also tattered and had wormholes. From this, it could be seen that the mainland Soul Masters did not value Soul Tools at all, and believed that their own strength was more important.
But in Xu Yang's view, these two were not in conflict. Soul Tools could strengthen one's own strength, and could even be used as a life-saving trump card to ensure one's own safety.
He had once asked Ning Fengzhi why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, such an auxiliary sect, did not study Soul Tools. For auxiliary Soul Masters, Soul Tools should be the best supplement to combat power. Unfortunately, Ning Fengzhi was powerless, because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School simply did not have a corresponding inheritance for Soul Tools. There were some Soul Tools, but no one was willing to waste their time disassembling and studying them.
"With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's appraisal ability, I shouldn't lack materials for researching Soul Tools!"
"I have to properly stock up on some materials next time I go back."
Thinking of the various precious gems and metals placed in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's treasure vault, Xu Yang smiled. As Ning Fengzhi's disciple, he couldn't move the precious Soul Bones in the treasure vault, but he could take some materials at will.
Just as Xu Yang was imagining the future, when with a wave of his hand countless Soul Tool rays would descend from the sky, Dugu Yan arrived with Ye Lingling.
"Xu Yang, today a Teacher named Qin Ming came to the class and said he wanted to select members for the next Heaven Dou Second Team to participate in the Soul Master Competition two years later, and asked us to call you over together!" Dugu Yan said directly to the point when she saw Xu Yang.
"Oh!"
Xu Yang perfunctorily nodded. To be honest, he was not interested in this year's Soul Master Competition. There was no other reason than that his strength was not enough. Even if he was selected as a member of the school team, he would most likely be a substitute and would hardly get to play.
Even if he was a genius, in two years he would at most reach the level of a thirtieth-level Soul Elder. If he could get the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, he would be in his thirties, and would not be qualified to play at all.
He was interested in participating in the next and the next Soul Master Competition. Competing with the genius Soul Masters of his generation was also what he most wanted to prove himself. As for the next time, he wanted to see Tang San's level.
"Don't you want to participate in this year's Soul Master Competition?!" Dugu Yan was surprised by Xu Yang's attitude and asked curiously.
"Even if I participate, what can I do?! With our strength, we can only be arranged as substitute members, and there is no chance to play at all. At most, we can sit in the audience and watch the Soul Master Competition, and accumulate experience for participating in the competition next time."
This model is not only done by Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but also by all large-scale advanced Soul Master academies. The purpose is to allow students to adapt to the intensity of the Soul Master Competition in advance, so as to prepare for the next Soul Master Competition.
The number of such substitute members will not be small.
"Well~ that's true!" Dugu Yan nodded in agreement, staring at Xu Yang, squinting slightly and said, "So what do you think?!"
"Participate, of course I'll participate!"
The answer Xu Yang gave was somewhat unexpected to Dugu Yan. Hearing his previous answer, she thought Xu Yang didn't want to participate in the selection. Just as she was about to ask why, she heard Xu Yang say: "This is a very good learning opportunity, and I can also see the level of my peers, so why not do it?!"
"So, let's go! Don't let the Teacher wait!"
Hearing this, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling rolled their eyes speechlessly, not expecting you to be such a person.
Next to the Heaven Dou Team's training ground, dozens of Heaven Slight Grade students were already waiting here. These were all the top students from each class, and each of them had no less than twenty-third level Soul Power, and they were all eager to try.
Among them were Yu Tianheng and Osler, who were in the same class as Xu Yang, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, two brothers from the Xuanming Sect in Heaven Slight Class Two, and Yu Feng from Heaven Slight Class Three. These were all elites that Xu Yang knew after coming to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and were also members of the original Royal Fighting Team.
A Teacher who looked only in his twenties stood in the center of the training ground, staring at the students and observing them. He wanted to select a group of elite members to deal with the next Soul Master Elite Competition.
As for why not the next competition, it was because the Teacher of the next batch of students was not him, but a Soul Emperor Teacher from the original Heaven Dou Royal Academy. This was also the reason why he came to the Heaven Slight Grade class to select students, otherwise, in order to participate in the competition, he could just go to the Heaven Dou class to select students.
In such a short time, he had already selected several good seedlings. Among them, he wanted Yu Tianheng to be the captain. Of course, he had also thought about Xu Yang, who had defeated Yu Tianheng, but this Xu Yang started skipping classes as soon as he came to school and did not obey discipline, so he was obviously not a good choice.
Before long, Xu Yang and Dugu Yan walked in. Yu Tianheng's expression turned slightly unpleasant upon seeing this. He hadn't expected to lose, not even if Xu Yang possessed a thousand-year Soul Ring, but the result was that he had lost, and lost so thoroughly. He felt somewhat unwilling.
Xu Yang didn't think too much about it, giving Yu Tianheng a big smile before standing at the back of Class One's line, chatting idly with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
He hadn't forgotten his purpose in coming to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which was to find Dugu Bo through Dugu Yan, and then go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to retrieve the Immortal Herbs.
Dugu Bo's reputation outside was not good, one could even say it was extremely poor, but this person kept his promises and was very good to his own people, truly stepping up when needed.
He risked his own safety to save Tang San countless times, even sacrificing his own life in the end. Although Tang San had done his grandparents a favor by curing their poison, how could favors be repaid endlessly? Not to mention saving Tang San several times, just the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were enough to repay the debt.
Don't think that Dugu Bo didn't know the value of the Immortal Herbs. One must know that medicine and poison are inseparable. As the Poison Douluo, his attainments in poison were as high as his attainments in medicine. Even if he didn't recognize those herbs, he knew the preciousness of the Immortal Herbs.
After all, those who can cultivate to the Titled Douluo level are not fools!
But he was still willing to continue helping Tang San after Tang San took the Immortal Herbs.
From this, it can be seen that Dugu Bo is a person worth making friends with.
