Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 412 – Relaxing Before The Exam

TL : GoldenLung

As evening approached, Lan Xuanyu went back to take a shower and changed into a clean uniform before meeting up with his teammates.

After a semester, they all had different degrees of growth. It was the same for their appearance.

What made Lan Xuanyu and the other four boys most depressed was that their growth speed was clearly slower than the two girls.

Dong Qianqiu was already close to 1.7 meters tall, and Lan Mengqin was not inferior either. On the boys’ side, the shortest Yuanen Huihui was only 1.5 meters tall. Liu Feng was barely 1.6 meters tall, while Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei were around 1.65 meters tall. Neither of them was as tall as the two girls.

When the six of them stood together, Huihui was the most depressed. He would usually walk further and not stand with them.

“Let’s go.” Seeing Lan Xuanyu rush over, Dong Qianqiu smiled. Their eyes met and her beautiful dark blue eyes seemed to be filled by Lan Xuanyu’s reflection.

Sensing her gaze, Lan Xuanyu smiled.

“Hey, can you guys not look at each other like that?” Lan Mengqin covered Dong Qianqiu’s eyes in annoyance and pulled her away.

Dong Qianqiu blushed and let her pull her.

Qian Lei sighed. “Mengqin, actually, we can do it too. Look at me, my eyes are very sincere too.”

Lan Mengqin turned her head and glanced at him. Seeing that he was trying his best to widen his eyes, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “The meat on your fat face almost squeezed your eyes out. Who can see what’s in your eyes?”

Qian Lei was speechless. Although he wasn’t as tall as them, his weight…

1.65 meters, 214 kilograms. This was his latest physical data.

In just a few months, he had grown by more than 50 kilograms as if he was blowing air. This rate of growth could probably break Shrek Academy’s Outer Court record.

But Qian Lei didn’t wish for that ! He didn’t even dare to eat too much ! But since Fatty Jin, his weight was increasing uncontrollably. It wasn’t just him; Fatty Jin was the same. He had become extremely fat and his figure was almost the same as Qian Lei’s. He was slightly taller and heavier than him.

“I may be fat, but I’m an agile fatty!” Qian Lei shook his body, feeling somewhat aggrieved. Although he was fat, the flesh on his body wasn’t all fat, but was very sturdy. In terms of defense, with his body of flesh, he was definitely the best in the team. Those who didn’t know would suspect that he was a defense-type soul master.

Liu Feng followed by his side. He had become even colder, like a javelin, and walked like one. His gaze was much firmer and sharper than when he first came to Shrek Academy. After a semester of tempering, his growth speed was equally shocking. He had long grasped the changes in his Martial Soul, especially since he was getting closer to rank 40. When he would reached rank 40, he would need a brand new spirit soul to strengthen himself and would definitely go through a qualitative leap. With their current speed of improvement, it was not impossible for them to reach rank 50 in their third year.

“Alright, agile fatty, when are we going to fight one-on-one?” Lan Mengqin smiled at him.

“How can I do that? I don’t hit women!” Qian Lei said in all seriousness.

“Tsk, if you are afraid just say it. Although you say don’t hit women, do you really think you beat me?” Lan Mengqin curled her lips in disdain.

That’s right, Lan Mengqin’s soul power was the second strongest in the entire team. Her cultivation was already at rank 49 and she was only a step away from rank 50. If not for the extraordinary Yuanen Huihui, she would be the strongest among the first years. Even Yuanen Huihui didn’t dare to say that he would be able to defeat her, a rank 49 Twin Martial Souls.

Furthermore, until now, Lan Xuanyu felt that he had yet to see Lan Mengqin’s limits. She seemed to be able to handle every battle with ease. In terms of foundation and potential, she was definitely ranked one of the best among the six of them.

Once they arrived at the familiar Gourmet Street, the six of them didn’t eat the nutritious and rare ingredients and instead enjoyed themselves with the foodstands.

They were already very familiar with this place and knew everything there was to eat.

Lan Xuanyu held a coconut jelly and handed it to Dong Qianqiu. “Here.”

“Why is there only one? What about me?” Lan Mengqin asked in dissatisfaction.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t like it last time?” Lan Xuanyu glanced at her.

Lan Mengqin pouted. “Then I like it now.”

“I’ll buy it for you.” Qian Lei immediately jumped out.

“Hmph, I don’t want it anymore.” Lan Mengqin shook her head and her white hair fluttered in the wind as she turned and walked towards a nearby food stand.

“She’s just envious.” Dong Qianqiu giggled. She knew that Lan Mengqin really didn’t like this.

“Isn’t that jealousy ?” Lan Xuanyu laughed.

“Jealous about? We’re good sisters.” As she spoke, she scooped up a spoonful of coconut jelly and stuffed it into Lan Xuanyu’s mouth.

The coconut jelly was cold and smooth, with the fragrance of the coconut and the smoothness of the cream.

Lan Xuanyu was in a daze. The delicious taste in his mouth merged with the trembling in his heart when Dong Qianqiu fed him. He suddenly felt that this was the most delicious food he had ever tasted.

Dong Qianqiu’s face turned red. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she suddenly lifted her leg and kicked his calf before running away.

“Why did you kick me?” Lan Xuanyu laughed happily.

Dong Qianqiu ignored him and turned to run.

Everyone ate and drank along the way. They finally crossed the Gourmet Street and arrived at their real destination.

“We don’t have money.” Lan Mengqin held Dong Qianqiu’s arm and said to Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu nodded.

Qian Lei said, “I still have three purple emblems that I’ve saved up from scrimping. Boss, here you go.”

“I also have three left,” Liu Feng replied simply.

“I only have two left,” Yuanen Huihui stammered. “I got greedy previously and bought some delicious fruits.” He had a huge need for some spirit fruits that were useful for cultivation, and this seemed to be related to his bloodline. Yuanen Huihui didn’t eat much meat usually, but he was extremely fond of spirit fruits with abundant energy.

“Alright, I still have four purple emblems here. We have a total of 12. We will buy consumables and use them during the final exam,” Lan Xuanyu said.

Dong Qianqiu said, “We still have to keep some and use them for our One-Word Battle Armors, right?”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Also, I have recently found a new path to make money. If I succeed, we won’t have to worry about emblems anymore.”

“What is it?” Qian Lei’s eyes lit up and he quickly asked.

Lan Xuanyu smiled and said mysteriously, “This is a secret that I can’t divulge yet. I’ll tell you when it’s done. As for these 12 purple emblems of ours, let’s be more conservative; we can only spend at most eight today. With four or more, it should be enough for us to make Battle Armors. How are your designing and manufacturing practice going? I think I’ll have another semester at most and my forging should be about good.”

“There isn’t any problem with my designing. The teacher even praised my dexterity,” Qian Lei said proudly.

Lan Mengqin laughed. “Can a carrot-sized finger be nimble?”

Qian Lei looked at her and wanted to refute, but Lan Mengqin had already raised her chin at him, meaning to say, try refuting it. He immediately shut his mouth.

He didn’t know when it started, but Lan Mengqin had already taken bullying him as one of her pleasures, and Fatty Qian was also enjoying it. He felt that it was much better than not paying attention to him.

Entering the auction, since they came every week, the staff here was already very familiar with them. They smiled and greeted them before inviting them in.

They arrived at the familiar area and saw familiar faces.
