Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 94 The Selection Competition is Here

As usual, Ling Shuang and Wang Dong'er walked into the classroom side by side.

The two exceptionally good-looking individuals naturally attracted the attention of many girls, something they were already used to.

However, after news of her relationship with Jiang Nannan spread, it clearly deterred a large number of female students who would normally approach Ling Shuang to talk to her.

This made things much easier for Ling Shuang.

At first, being surrounded by girls can be pleasant, but over time, this constant flirting can easily become tiresome.

Ling Shuang would naturally be happy to change this situation.

It's just a pity for Wang Dong'er.

When she was dressed as a boy, she was second only to Ling Shuang in her class.

Now that Ling Shuang has Jiang Nannan, a large portion of the girls who were advised to leave have turned their attention to Wang Dong'er, who doesn't have a girlfriend, causing her considerable distress during this period.

"Cough cough."

Wang Yan, who had been ignored all along, walked up to the podium and coughed lightly, which gradually quieted down the noisy classroom and drew the students' attention.

Seeing this, Wang Yan nodded in satisfaction and slowly said, "Ling Shuang, Wang Dong, Wang Qiu'er, Dai Huabin..."

Wang Yan rattled off a long list of names.

Some astute individuals have already noticed the common thread among these people:

They are all core disciples!

After the upgrade assessment, the list of core disciples also changed.

However, the changes are not significant, and most of the former core disciples still retain their core disciple status.

However, Huo Yuhao also entered the ranks of core disciples due to his performance in the upgrade assessment.

Wang Qiu'er, who temporarily joined Shrek Academy, was also classified as a core disciple because of her exceptional talent.

This initially caused dissatisfaction among many students, who felt that this student, who was exceptionally admitted to the academy, should not be able to become a core disciple.

Since Wang Qiu'er didn't shine in the upgrade assessment, only casually defeating a hundred-year-old soul beast, these students didn't know her true strength and it's understandable that they thought she wasn't good enough.

But when Wang Qiu'er crushed a group of challengers, including Dai Huabin, who had previously been hailed as the number one person below Ling Shuang, these doubts completely disappeared.

In the world of Soul Masters, strength is always more powerful than anything else.

After reading out the list of names, Wang Yan continued, "Those whose names were just called, come to my office. The rest of you can study on your own."

Amidst the curious and envious gazes of many students, the core disciples stood up and followed Wang Yan out of the classroom.

The office, which wasn't particularly large, quickly filled with people.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wang Yan slowly revealed the purpose of his summons: "I have something to tell you all."

"Three days from now, the outer academy will hold a selection competition for core disciples. The academy has made an exception and allowed our second-year core disciples to participate in the selection. You should prepare yourselves in the next two days."

"I can't reveal too much about the specific purpose of this selection competition for now. I can only tell you that seven people will be selected to participate in a special mission."

"However, there is one thing I can reveal: if you can advance, that mission will be an extremely rare opportunity for you."

Upon hearing this, most of the core disciples who had been summoned looked at each other in bewilderment.

Seven will be selected from the core disciples of the outer academy?
A wry smile involuntarily appeared on their faces.

While being core disciples is enough to show that they are the best among their peers, aren't core disciples of other ages also the same?
And they are older than them.

As we all know, in the early to mid-stages of a Soul Master's development, age has a significant impact on strength.

They're both geniuses, but they've spent more time cultivating, so why are they weaker?
They all looked at Ling Shuang, whose face remained calm and expressionless.

Apart from this one, I doubt anyone else could confidently say they could advance. "Alright, I've said what I needed to say. You can all leave now."

"Yes."

The crowd responded and left.

Stepping out of the office, Wang Dong'er approached Ling Shuang and asked, "Ling Shuang, what do you think this selection competition at the academy is actually selecting?"

Ling Shuang was naturally aware of the purpose of this selection competition, but he didn't say anything. He simply said, "Does it matter? We'll know in three days."

“That’s true,” Wang Dong’er replied.

Since there was no punishment, Wang Dong'er felt no psychological pressure at all.

“Ling Shuang…” Just as Wang Dong’er was about to continue talking to Ling Shuang, she was interrupted by a figure suddenly interrupting her.

Looking at the face that was almost 90% similar to her own, Wang Dong'er felt a surge of anger.

Indeed, the person who came was Wang Qiu'er.

"Qiu'er, is something the matter?" Ling Shuang always kept in mind that Wang Qiu'er was now her distant cousin.

"It's nothing." Wang Qiu'er didn't explain, but simply reached out and hugged Ling Shuang's arm.

Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er are 90% similar, but 10% different.

Wang Qiu'er is more mature than Wang Dong'er.

This doesn't refer to personality, but rather to outward maturity.

For example, the face, and the figure...

If Wang Dong'er is flat-chested, then Wang Qiu'er can be considered an apple.

Among the group of girls, she stood out quite a bit. When she tightly hugged Ling Shuang's arm, she undoubtedly trapped her in a soft abyss.

Ling Shuang didn't feel the soft touch from the arm, but looked to the other side.

Given Wang Qiu'er's personality, she might come to my side for no reason, but she would never deliberately hug me so intimately for no reason.

So, what is the reason?

Ling Shuang noticed Dai Huabin, who was spitting fire with anger, and Zhu Lu, who was standing behind him with a not-so-good expression, and immediately understood.

It seems that Dai Huabin, just like in the original story, fell in love with Wang Qiu'er after being defeated by her.

Ling Shuang was neither interested in nor concerned about who Dai Huabin liked.

But judging from Dai Huabin's new injuries and Wang Qiu'er's actions, Ling Shuang roughly guessed what had happened.

It seems that Dai Huabin expressed his feelings for Wang Qiu'er, but was beaten up again.

that's the truth.

Wang Qiu'er didn't know why someone could be so disgusting.

The male students who had previously admired her and tried to approach her were beaten up and then behaved themselves. But this guy only got more and more excited after being beaten up.

This was Shrek Academy, not Star Dou Great Forest, and Wang Qiu'er knew she couldn't kill him.

Otherwise, Dai Huabin would probably have died under the Golden Dragon Spear long ago.

Helpless, she could only run to Ling Shuang's side.

That disgusting guy seems quite afraid of Ling Shuang.

　To clarify beforehand, the main character will not be one of the Shrek Seven Devils.
