Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo

As the number one hotel chain in mainland China, the cost of Ragnar Hotels is undoubtedly substantial.

"Perhaps the academy saw how incredibly strong our class was and how likely we are to achieve great results in the Tianhai Grand Competition, which is why they prepared such a good resting environment for us."

Upon hearing that they would be staying at the Ragnar Hotel, the quiet carriage instantly became noisy, with many people whispering and discussing why the academy had gone to such great lengths to stay.

Sitting at the front, Long Hengxu listened to the students' hushed discussions, and several black lines appeared on his forehead.

Are they frighteningly strong? Are they likely to achieve good results?

If it weren't for Su Mo and the others, everyone would have obediently gone to stay at some roadside inn.

As one of the five first-tier cities in the eastern region, Donghai City's performance in the Tianhai Grand Competition is even worse than that of some second- and third-tier small cities.

The repeated defeats in the Tianhai Grand Competition have almost driven the mayor and councilors of Donghai Academy and Donghai City to despair.

If this continues, the reputation of Donghai City may be affected.

That's why Long Hengxu had the idea of ​​creating Class Zero after seeing Su Mo, Gu Yue, and Tang Wulin.

By integrating the resources of Donghai City and Donghai Academy, we will cultivate several super geniuses and reverse Donghai City's bottom-ranking position in the Tianhai Grand Competition.

At the entrance of the Grana Hotel, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were already waiting.

Xie Xie crossed his arms and leaned against the crystal pillar next to the hotel entrance with a nonchalant look on his face. He watched the soul-guided bus slowly approaching in the distance and sighed, "It's finally here. If it hadn't come soon, I would have been mistaken for a doorman."

Tang Wulin smiled helplessly and patted Xie Xie on the shoulder, "With your smug look on your face, how could anyone mistake you for someone else?"

"Pah! You're the one who deserves a beating!"

Xie Xie rolled his eyes, then spotted Su Mo and the others getting out of the car and immediately raised his hand to wave vigorously, "Hey—over here!"

"..."

Looking at Gu Yue who followed Su Mo out, Tang Wulin suddenly felt a sharp pain for no reason.

"Gu Yue is sitting with Su Mo."

Although Tang Wulin had already made up his mind to give up on Gu Yue, he still couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache when he saw Gu Yue sitting with other men.

Chapter 113 Tang Wulin: Gu Yue has changed!

Looking at Gu Yue walking slowly towards them beside Su Mo, Tang Wulin felt a pang of regret for a moment.

Tang Wulin originally thought that he didn't have many feelings for Gu Yue, and that his heart only belonged to Senior Sister Ouyang.

But now Tang Wulin realizes he was wrong, and terribly wrong at that.

Just seeing Gu Yue and Su Mo walking together made him feel a strange pang of heartache.

At this moment, Tang Wulin was caught in an unprecedented dilemma. He didn't want to give up his beloved senior, but he also didn't want to see Gu Yue getting too close to other boys.

"Wu Lin, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Tang Wulin's expression had been off since the beginning and he was standing there without saying a word, Xie Xie quickly nudged Tang Wulin's shoulder with his elbow.

"without!"

Tang Wulin quickly shook his head, not daring to let Xie Xie see through his filthy thoughts.

"Squad leader, Xie Xie, it's been a long time."

Xu Xiaoyan greeted Tang Wulin and Xie Xie very warmly.

Of course, Xu Xiaoyan's enthusiasm was mainly due to her good relationship with Xie Xie; Tang Wulin was just an afterthought.

As the warmest guy in Class Zero, it's hard for anyone to dislike Xie Xie, such a sunny, cheerful, and funny guy.

"Xie Xie, how is your training at the Tang Sect going? How does the Tang Sect's training method differ from ours?"

After a few brief pleasantries, Xu Xiaoyan curiously inquired about Xie Xie's experiences in the Tang Sect.

A person's shadow is the name of a tree.

As the most mysterious of the three major powers in the Sun Moon Federation, the Tang Sect's training methods are something that anyone would be curious about, let alone Xu Xiaoyan, who is full of curiosity.

"Hey~, don't even mention it!"

Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyan mention the Tang Clan's training, Xie Xie's face instantly turned sour, as if he were recalling something extremely painful.

When Xie Xie was first taken in as an apprentice by Liang Xiaoyu, he thought his time had come.

Finally, someone with discerning eyes recognized his potential, but little did they know that this would be the beginning of a nightmare.

Even if he had to throw three thousand hidden weapons every day, Xie Xie could still grit his teeth and persevere.

What Xie Xie couldn't stand was that after he finished throwing the hidden weapon and fell into a weakened state, Liang Xiaoyu actually asked him to perform specific actions according to his requirements, and those actions were more and more inhuman than the last.

A whole month! Xie Xie didn't know how he managed to get through it all.

After hearing Xie Xie's story, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh. "Three thousand times throwing hidden weapons? That's insane!"

"Xie Xie, it's really strange that you didn't die in the Tang Sect."

Xie Xie shrugged helplessly. "You could say that. If it weren't for the Tang Clan's strong medical support, I probably would have died long ago."

Xie Xie had considered using the excuse that the training volume was too high and pretending to be tired to skip training the next day.

However, Xie Xie's feigned illness was completely ineffective against the powerful medical capabilities of the Tang Clan headquarters, and he had no choice but to continue training obediently the next day.

Xu Xiaoyan gently patted Xie Xie's shoulder, "Hey, you reap what you sow. I remember you were only level 23 when you left, and you're already level 25 after just one month."

"That's true!"

Xie Xie nodded in agreement.

Without undergoing a full month of hellish training at the Tang Sect, let alone advancing two levels in a month, even advancing half a level of soul power would be difficult.

"How are you? I see you posting pictures of your training sessions with Gu Yue at Su Mo's house on your WeChat Moments every day."

Xie Xie changed the subject, winking and asking about Xu Xiaoyan's recent situation.

As the two students in Class Zero who love posting on WeChat Moments the most, Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan check each other's Moments almost every day.

"Oops~"

Xu Xiaoyan seemed to recall something extremely happy, and a blush quickly appeared on her pretty face.

The month-long training at Su Mo's house was a dream come true for Xu Xiaoyan.

She wakes up every day in the arms of Gu Yue and Wu Siduo, and as soon as she steps out the door, she sees Su Mo's handsome face that haunts her dreams and the breakfast he has prepared for her.

At noon and in the evening, a group of people would gather together, chattering and discussing what to eat that day.

If she could, Xu Xiaoyan would truly want to live that kind of happy life forever.

The only thing that Xu Xiaoyan regretted was that Su Mo didn't join in. Otherwise, she couldn't even imagine how wonderful it would be to hold Gu Yue on one side and Su Mo on the other.

Tang Wulin, who was standing to the side, was stunned as if struck by lightning when he heard Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan's conversation. His mind went completely blank.

In that instant, Tang Wulin felt as if the whole world had frozen, and the surrounding sounds began to become indistinct.

Gu Yue... she actually moved into Su Mo's house.

Even though he knew Xu Xiaoyan would be with him, Tang Wulin's heart still felt as if it were being tightly gripped, a heavy sense of oppression washing over him.

Tang Wulin raised his head and subconsciously looked at Gu Yue, trying to get a negative answer, but all he got in response was Gu Yue's cold eyes.

Tang Wulin knew that look all too well; it was the look Gu Yue would give when looking at a stranger.

Tang Wulin felt his breath catch in his throat, as if he were trapped in a cold abyss and unable to move.

After a month apart, Guyue seemed so unfamiliar.

Gu Yue has changed, really changed. He is no longer an important person in Gu Yue's heart.

Thinking of this, Tang Wulin felt a strange bitterness well up in his heart. The sense of loss was as cold as the wind, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Tang Wulin opened his mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.

He had no right to question Gu Yue about why, because he was the one who pushed Gu Yue away.

"Junior brother, we should go to the blacksmiths' meeting."

Just as Tang Wulin was engulfed in unbearable pain, Mu Xi's voice rang out.

As members of the East Sea City Blacksmith Association, Tang Wulin and she were both going to attend this meeting specially held for the Tianhai Grand Competition.

The Tianhai Grand Competition is not just a battle of soul masters, but also a forging competition.

Although the forging competition doesn't attract as much attention as the fighting spirit competition.

Unlike Donghai Academy, which always suffers setbacks and ends up at the bottom, the Donghai City Blacksmith Association achieves remarkable results in the forging competition of the Tianhai Grand Competition every year thanks to the presence of the master craftsman Mu Chen.

Tang Wulin nodded and followed Mu Xi toward the conference room like an emotionless machine.

"Let's go too! Teacher Wu is waiting for us in the VIP room on the top floor."

Watching Tang Wulin leave in a daze, Xie Xie silently rubbed his forehead.

He and Su Mo had advised Tang Wulin to comfort Gu Yue, but Tang Wulin refused to listen.

Now that Gu Yue treats Tang Wulin as an ordinary friend, Tang Wulin is heartbroken again, leaving Xie Xie at a loss for words.

"Huh—, Teacher Wu actually has a VIP room on the top floor?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan's eyes widened instinctively. The top floor of the Ragnar Hotel was not a privilege that just anyone could obtain.

"That's because you don't know that Teacher Wu's master is actually an elder of Shrek Sea God Pavilion!"

"Back then, our dance teacher was one of the most prominent figures at Shrek Academy."

"..."

Xie Xie suddenly seemed to have opened a long-sealed box of words, and began to talk endlessly about Wu Changkong's origins to Su Mo and the others.

When Xie Xie was being trained by Liang Xiaoyu, Liang Xiaoyu specifically assigned him the task of investigating Wu Changkong's background in order to hone Xie Xie's intelligence gathering skills.

Xie Xie had to run his legs off in Shrek City to find out this information.

I've made up for the chapter I missed yesterday.

Chapter 114 Meeting

As Gu Yue walked alongside Su Mo, she listened to Xie Xie recounting Wu Changkong's story in great detail. Remembering how she had confidently assured Su Mo that Wu Changkong wouldn't know a demigod, Gu Yue's pretty face flushed slightly.
