Douluo: The True Eye

#9 - Quantum Reading

Wang Dong was stunned. She had never been treated like this before.

In the Clear Sky School, she was the apple of everyone's eye, a pampered little princess.

No matter what happened, her every move would tug at the heartstrings of everyone in the Clear Sky School.

Although she wasn't inherently bad, she still carried some of the Clear Sky School's arrogance, to the point that she didn't know how to interact with her peers on an equal footing.

And this was the first time she had taken the initiative to talk to someone, only to be met with a cold response. For a moment, she didn't know how to continue.

If an ordinary person had answered like that, it would have been fine, but Huo Yuhao's performance in the battle earlier had impressed her. A Soul Master with only level twelve Soul Power had been more calm and outstanding in battle than she was.

Plus, the sect he came from was the Tang Sect, the former number one sect on the continent that attracted her just by hearing its name.

Seeing Wang Dong standing there dumbfounded, Huo Yuhao ignored her and hurried towards the registration area. After all, their group's exam order was relatively early, and registering sooner would save them from having to squeeze in with the others.

Just as he walked across the Shrek Academy's plaza, Huo Yuhao heard a familiar voice: "Over here, Little Yuhao, come quick!"

Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of the voice and saw Tang Ya and Bei Bei in their school uniforms. It seemed they had been waiting here for quite some time.

"Teacher Xiaoya, Senior Brother, good afternoon," Huo Yuhao said as he walked up to them.

"Hehe, Little Yuhao, let's go quickly. Bei Bei still needs to take you to register. Oh, who's this little pretty boy?" Tang Ya said with a smile as she pulled Huo Yuhao along.

She suddenly noticed Wang Dong, who was following not far away, glancing at Huo Yuhao from time to time, but not making any other moves. However, because of her own beauty, she stood out in the crowd.

As a Soul Master, and not very far away, Wang Dong naturally saw Tang Ya's gaze and heard her question.

Huo Yuhao replied indifferently: "Just a teammate from the competition, not very familiar. I just don't know why she's been following me."

Tang Ya carefully sized up Wang Dong, and discovered that whether it was the clothes she wore or the decorations she carried, none of them were ordinary. Moreover, her Soul Power was solid, and her energy was restrained. At a glance, she was one of the best among the new students.

Then, Tang Ya said to Huo Yuhao with a smile, "Did you use any of our Tang Sect's hidden weapons and unique skills during the battle just now, Little Yuhao? Did our Tang Sect's unique skills amaze this little one?"

Huo Yuhao's cultivation and understanding of hidden weapons and Tang Sect's unique skills might be even stronger than they thought. If it weren't for his low Soul Power and poor physical fitness,

Perhaps, in a pure skill competition, she and Bei Bei, who had cultivated Tang Sect's unique skills for several years, might not be a match for Huo Yuhao, a beginner who had only cultivated for a few days.

So she was also very confident in letting Huo Yuhao be the Tang Sect's signboard to attract those ignorant new students.

Tang Ya's voice also intentionally or unintentionally stirred Wang Dong's heart. A voice seemed to be guiding her in her mind.

'Tang Sect, this could be the former number one sect on the continent. Tang Sect's hidden weapons are even more magical and profound. This is a good opportunity, I must join the Tang Sect.'

In a daze, Wang Dong walked towards Huo Yuhao and the others, and said to Tang Ya seriously: "My name is Wang Dong, is what you said true? Are you the legendary Tang Sect? I want to join the Tang Sect."

Huo Yuhao was silent at this time, and his Spirit Eyes ability had already been activated.

He observed that when Wang Dong heard the words Tang Sect, a rune made of gold in her mind seemed to become active.

At the same time, this rune was constantly emitting energy, merging into Wang Dong's mind.

'Weird, really weird, I should stay away.'

Hearing Wang Dong's words and seeing her expression seemed very firm, Tang Ya was speechless. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

After all, judging from Wang Dong's clothes, her background was not simple, and these students with affiliations were the most difficult to arrange, unless the forces behind her didn't value her.

At this time, Bei Bei stood up and relieved Tang Ya: "It's not early, this little brother is also a new student, let's go register with Yuhao first."

"Joining a sect is a major matter, you should think about it carefully first, and Xiaoya should also think about it carefully, there's no rush."

Tang Ya nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, let's register first, we'll talk about it after registering."

Registration was at the new student teaching building. The pure white new student teaching building was on the south side of the square, not far away. Huo Yuhao and the others quickly arrived here.

Because they were delayed for a while, it was the period of new student recruitment, so the new student teaching building was still very lively. Many new students who had passed the assessment were registering here.

'Don't be Class One, don't be Class One.' Soon it was Huo Yuhao's turn to report and register. Bei Bei helped Huo Yuhao pay the tuition fee, which was a full ten gold soul coins.

Huo Yuhao silently prayed to the gods and Buddhas he had heard of in his original world. Of course, he couldn't pray to the Sea God Tang San. If Tang San really received it, he would directly arrange it.

But contrary to his wishes, or perhaps Tang San had already arranged it, the class Huo Yuhao was assigned to was still Class One, and his roommate was none other than Wang Dong.

'Forget it, I expected it before I came. I'll be as careful as possible in the future. If it really doesn't work, I'll just spend the night in the library. With Ice Silkworm, it doesn't matter whether I sleep or not.'

"Oh, Little Yuhao and Little Dong, you are in the same dormitory, that's great." Tang Ya said with a smile: "Then Little Yuhao, please take care of Little Dong and let her think about joining our Tang Sect."

When registering, Tang Ya had already thought about it. Regardless of whether Wang Dong had a background or not, the current Tang Sect was already at its lowest point.

Even if Wang Dong joined the Tang Sect and attracted the strong from her background forces, it was impossible for them to do anything to the Tang Sect. At worst, they would just take Wang Dong away, which was completely within the acceptable range.

Huo Yuhao nodded, not directly refusing. After all, things had come to this point, and it was obvious that Tang San must be keeping a close eye on him at this stage, so it was better not to cause any trouble.

"Then Xiaoya and I will leave first." Bei Bei bid farewell to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong with a smile, and left the new student teaching building with Tang Ya.

“Let's go.” Huo Yuhao didn't say much. He quickly led Wang Dong to the dormitory building.

At this moment, Dragon God Douluo Mu En, this Limit Douluo who was already nearing his end, was lounging in his chair as usual, enjoying the afternoon sun and the rare youthful exuberance of the newly enrolled young men and women.

Just then, he noticed Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. The reason was simple: as a Limit Douluo, he could naturally see Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's strength and cultivation.

‘Rank 12 Soul Power, interesting. And judging by his clothes, he doesn't seem to be from a major power. That belt… is he a special recruit from the Tang Sect?’

‘However, the child next to him has Rank 21 Soul Power. And judging by appearances, he should be the child that the Clear Sky School sent over recently.’

‘It seems these two little fellows are getting along well. Tang Ya, that little girl, is quite lucky this time, discovering a good disciple.’

Narrowing his eyes, although his mind was racing, Mu En didn't make any move. He simply continued to lie on his recliner as before.

Huo Yuhao directly led Wang Dong to find his dormitory according to the room number marked on the dormitory key.

Walking into the dormitory, Huo Yuhao said directly to Wang Dong, “This bed is mine, that one is yours. We'll divide the room in half along this line. We'll clean our own sides, and don't interfere with each other's lives. Any problems?”

Wang Dong first covered his mouth and nose with his hand. At this time, the new student dormitory hadn't been cleaned yet, and it was full of dust and debris as the two entered. After a while, however, he didn't make the so-called rules like in the original story.

He nodded and responded, “Okay.”

After all, she had fought alongside Huo Yuhao before. In addition, she inexplicably wanted to join the Tang Sect and didn't want to damage her relationship with her future fellow disciples, especially… when that fellow disciple was Huo Yuhao.

Soon, the two had prepared their respective luggage. Because Bei Bei had given Huo Yuhao some funds earlier.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao didn't live as frugally as in the original story. At least he could afford a quilt, so he didn't have to sleep on a wooden bed like in the original story.

Soon, Huo Yuhao cleaned up his side of the room. Then, without paying attention to Wang Dong, who was in a flurry organizing his messy pile of luggage, he walked straight out of the dormitory.

“You can keep cleaning up. I'm going to the cafeteria first.”

‘It's time to eat. After eating, I'll go to the library and learn more about this world.’ Huo Yuhao thought as he walked towards the Shrek Academy cafeteria.

Perhaps to set rules for the first-year students, the Shrek Academy's first-year student cafeteria didn't have tables and chairs. All first-year students, regardless of their background, had to stand here to eat.

‘So, what's the actual point of this? Shrek City is right outside the academy. People with money and status can go out to eat in minutes. What's the use of this other than screwing over commoners?’

‘Moreover, those students with backgrounds definitely have people to provide them with food. Why would they need to come to this cafeteria to eat?’

Huo Yuhao thought helplessly, but he was too lazy to care. After all, he was still just a rookie that everyone could bully. After casually getting some food, he simply ate a meal here and left.

‘The library, the library, I finally found it.’

After spending some effort, Huo Yuhao asked around and finally found the school's library in the outer courtyard.

It has to be said that after ten thousand years of accumulation, the books in the Shrek Academy library are truly numerous, at least even in the memory of a transmigrator.

However, compared to other places, the huge library seemed a bit empty. After all, compared to directly improving their strength through cultivation and pleasing themselves.

Few people can calm down and study various Martial Soul theories or knowledge books, at least that's what Huo Yuhao thought before he actually read the books here.

It's just that after actually looking at it, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but have black lines all over his head. ‘What are these things? “Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls,” “On the Impact of Blue Silver Grass on Ecology,” “The Seven Deadly Sins of the Spirit Hall,” “The Famous Records of the Seven Freaks · One Two Three Four Five.”’

‘So many messy books, theories that cannot be proven, plus so many character biographies written by who knows who, I'm really impressed.’

‘It's all nonsense. No wonder there are so many books. It's all chicken soup, novels, and information pollution, right? It's really like finding gold in shit. It seems it will take a lot of time to find something useful.’

Huo Yuhao thought helplessly, but then he thought of another thing. ‘No wonder ordinary students are not interested in this place. But maybe I can try Soul Skill assistance?’

Then, through mental sharing, Huo Yuhao said to Tianmeng Iceworm, ‘Brother Tianmeng, can you help me conceal the use of Soul Skills? I want to do an experiment.’

‘Ah? Oh? Okay, okay, I guess.’ Tianmeng Iceworm said stutteringly for some reason, and it's unknown what he was doing before.

Walking to a bookshelf, Huo Yuhao casually took a book as a cover, and then launched Mental Detection. As Mental Detection covered the area, even without opening the pages.

The contents of the books covered by these bookshelves were scanned out in detail by Mental Detection.

Through the Eye of Truth's ability to remember everything he sees, Huo Yuhao memorized the contents of hundreds of books in just a moment.

But ‘Ah, damn it, my head hurts so much, what are these things?’ Quickly turning off Mental Detection, Huo Yuhao leaned against the bookshelf, feeling dizzy.

Unlike observing the environment and battlefield in battle, which only requires understanding, recording the knowledge in these books requires precise memorization after understanding. Therefore, the mental power consumed in this short moment is far more than in ordinary battles.

A large amount of information gathered in Huo Yuhao's mind in an instant, draining most of his mental power.

If it weren't for the mutation of his Martial Soul and his strong mental power, ordinary people would probably have burned out their brain's CPU at this moment.

‘Too careless. But now I know that the learning efficiency of Mental Detection combined with the Eye of Truth is indeed amazing. It's just that I can't turn it on at full power now. I should rest first and then proceed gradually.’

Casually finding a seat, Huo Yuhao lay on the table, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, re-stabilizing his Sea of Spirit, which was agitated by receiving a large amount of information.

‘But maybe I can read ten books at a time. That shouldn't be too stressful.’
