Chapter 1 Douluo Chat Group! I am the Heavenly Emperor, the Group Owner!
Blue Tyrant Academy, Advanced Training Room.
The dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly dissipated, and Lu Ming opened his eyes, a look of loss appearing on his handsome face.
He felt the almost non-existent increase in his soul power and sighed softly.
"Teacher Erlong, you're wasting your resources again."
Lu Ming looked at the tall figure walking in through the door.
"My Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul still hasn't broken through the bottleneck, and my soul power is still stuck at level 26."
"I'm afraid I won't be qualified to participate in the upcoming All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies."
The person who arrived was none other than Liu Erlong, the dean of Lanba Academy.
She wore a tight-fitting, fiery red dress that perfectly accentuated her stunning figure.
Her long, matching hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and as she walked, her straight, slender legs were faintly visible, exuding the stunning charm of a mature woman.
Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Liu Erlong's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, but quickly relaxed.
She walked to Lu Ming's side, reached out her warm hand, and ruffled his hair.
"Xiaoming, don't say that."
Liu Erlong's voice, unlike its usual fierce tone, was now filled with gentleness and concern.
"What do some resources matter? As long as they can make you stronger, it's worth it no matter how many you have."
"Don't be discouraged, Aunt Erlong will bring you a better batch in a few days."
She gazed intently at Lu Ming and said earnestly:
"Remember, the quality of a spirit soul does not determine a spirit master's ultimate achievement. Even with a universally acknowledged useless spirit soul, as long as you work hard enough, you can still stand out from the crowd!"
That being said, both of them were well aware of the difficulties involved.
Liu Erlong changed the subject, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"By the way, perhaps there is someone who can help you."
"His name is Yu Xiaogang. He is recognized as the number one theoretical master in Douluo Continent. No one can match his research on martial souls."
"He might have a way to solve the evolution problem of your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul."
A slight ripple stirred in Lu Ming's heart, but he did not show it on his face.
Yu Xiaogang?
A theoretical master?
This title can only fool women like Liu Erlong who are deeply involved.
Lu Ming knew very well that Yu Xiaogang was notorious for his double standards.
He only has eyes for geniuses; only monsters like Tang San, who possess twin martial souls, are worthy of his attention.
With only an ordinary Blue Silver Grass martial soul and level 26 soul power, how could I possibly go looking for him?
They probably wouldn't even get a proper look; instead, he would just give them a condescending lecture using his theory that "there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters."
Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's so-called theories are nothing but a joke in front of me, a transmigrator who knows the entire Douluo Continent's trajectory.
"I will consider it, Teacher Erlong."
Lu Ming nodded without refuting.
Seeing that he had taken the advice to heart, Liu Erlong smiled with satisfaction, gave him a few more words of advice, and then turned to leave.
As the stone door to the cultivation room slowly closed, the disappointment on Lu Ming's face vanished instantly, replaced by a profound and indifferent demeanor incongruous with his age.
He is fifteen years old now, and his martial soul is the well-known useless martial soul Blue Silver Grass, with a soul power of level 26.
This result is considered quite good among ordinary Soul Masters.
But among a group of monsters teeming with geniuses, they seem so insignificant.
Lu Ming was lost in memories.
He was a time traveler who, upon opening his eyes, found himself as a helpless infant. His parents had died during a soul-hunting operation, leaving him an orphan.
Just when he thought he was about to enter hell mode, Liu Erlong discovered him.
This woman, who appeared fierce but was incredibly kind at heart, adopted him and even took him in as her only personal disciple, treating him as her own son.
Over the years, Liu Erlong has treated him extremely well, showering him with all sorts of rare cultivation resources without reservation. The extent of her care for him is probably something even Yu Xiaogang would envy.
Unfortunately, his martial soul was just ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
It's not like Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, which comes with its own cheat codes.
Without any fortuitous encounters or cheat codes, the upper limit of this martial soul is clearly visible, and the speed of soul power cultivation is outrageously slow.
Even with Liu Erlong's support, reaching level 26 at the age of fifteen was almost his limit.
Compared to the Shrek monsters, he was far inferior.
Lu Ming's expression turned serious.
"Based on the timeline, Tang San is also fifteen years old now, and Shrek Academy should have just been expelled from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"Next, that hypocrite Yu Xiaogang will lead them to seek refuge at Teacher Erlong's Blue Tyrant Academy."
Thinking about this, Lu Ming felt a strong sense of crisis.
Once Shrek and his gang arrive, my good days are probably over.
That Tang San, seemingly gentle, is actually ruthless. He readily accuses people of "seeking death" and shows no mercy when he strikes.
That fat guy named Ma Hongjun couldn't suppress his lust and wanted to find women; he was a walking troublemaker.
Shrek and his gang, who pride themselves on being righteous, are all troublemakers.
In their eyes, a person with little power and connections is probably the best target for establishing authority.
At that time, I'm afraid I'll really be in danger.
Just as Lu Ming was feeling uneasy, a crisp mechanical notification sound rang in his mind.
[bite!]
[You have become the group owner of the Douluo World chat group!]
The group owner has the ability to invite new members, mute chatters, kick out members, and create administrators. More features are yet to be explored.
[Except for the group owner, all members of this group are female!]
[New members have been automatically invited to the chat group!]
A series of messages flooded into his mind. Lu Ming was stunned at first, and then overjoyed.
It's here!
As a time traveler, the cheat system may be late, but it will never be absent!
Chat group!
He understands this so well!
He quickly processed the information in his mind.
As the group owner, his job is to keep the chat group active.
The more active a person is in a chat group, the richer and more powerful the rewards they can obtain.
Group members simply need to share their stories within the group.
Alternatively, by completing certain group tasks, you can obtain the rewards you've always dreamed of: soul bones, immortal herbs, or even the method to become a god!
A playful smile appeared on Lu Ming's lips, all his previous worries and anxieties vanishing.
With a thought, a simple bronze mirror appeared out of thin air in his palm.
On the mirror, lines of text, like ripples on water, slowly emerged.
[Douluo Continent Chat Group:]
Bunnies are the cutest!
[Little Witch]
My cat is white and big.
[The Pope]
I don't have a mother.
Foxes are the most innocent.
[Gentle Fire Dragon]
[Poison Fairy]
My son is not a bastard.
Looking at the nicknames and entering the chat group, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Rise!
