Douluo Peerless: Eye of Truth

Chapter 9 Quantum Reading



Chapter 9 Quantum Reading
Wang Dong was stunned when she heard this. You know, she has never been treated like this since she was a child.

In Haotian Sect, she can be regarded as the apple of everyone's eye, a spoiled little princess.

No matter what happens, her every move will touch the heartstrings of everyone in the Haotian Sect.

Although she is not a bad person by nature, she is still tainted with the arrogance of the Haotian Sect, so that she doesn't know how to get along with her peers on an equal footing.

The first time she took the initiative to talk to someone, she was treated coldly. For a moment, she didn't know how to continue.

It would be fine if an ordinary person answered like this, but Huo Yuhao's performance in the previous battle made her look at him with new eyes. A soul master with only level 12 soul power performed even calmer and better than her in the battle.

What's more, the sect that the other party came from was the Tang Sect, the Tang Sect that was once the number one sect in the continent and that attracted me as soon as I heard the name.

When Huo Yuhao saw Wang Dong standing there in a daze, he didn’t bother to pay attention to her and quickly ran to the registration place. After all, their group was at the front of the list for the exam, so if they registered early they wouldn’t have to squeeze with others.

Just after walking through the square of Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao heard a familiar voice: "Over here, Little Yuhao, come quickly!"

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

“Teacher Little ya, Senior Brother, good afternoon.” Huo Yuhao walked up to them and greeted them.

"Hey, Little Yuhao, let's go quickly. Beibei still needs to take you to register. Hey, who is this little boy?" Tang Ya smiled and pulled Huo Yuhao.

Suddenly he 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 his appearance, he stood out in the crowd.

As a soul master, Wang Dong was not very far away, so he naturally saw Tang Ya's eyes and heard Tang Ya's questions.

Huo Yuhao replied indifferently, “I’m not very familiar with the teammate in the previous match, but I don’t know why he has been following me.”

Tang Ya looked at Wang Dong carefully and found that neither the clothes he wore nor the accessories he wore were ordinary. Moreover, his soul power was condensed and his essence was restrained. It was obvious that his cultivation was outstanding among the freshmen.

Then Tang Ya smiled and said to Huo Yuhao: "Little Yuhao, did you use our Tang Sect's hidden weapons and unique skills in the battle just now? Our Tang Sect's unique skills amazed this little guy."

"Hehe, we only have three people in the Tang Sect right now. If Little Yuhao can absorb this little guy into the sect, our Tang Sect will make a lot of money."

Although Tang Ya's words seemed to be a joke, she actually took it seriously.

After all, she had seen Huo Yuhao's abilities before. She saw it when Beibei was practicing with Huo Yuhao yesterday.

With his practice and understanding of hidden weapons and the Tang Sect’s unique skills, Huo Yuhao might be stronger than they thought, if it weren’t for his low soul power and poor physical fitness.

Perhaps if it was simply a competition of skills, she and Bei Bei, both of whom had practiced Tang Sect's unique skills for several years, might not be a match for Huo Yuhao, a beginner who had only practiced for a few days.

Therefore, she was very confident that Huo Yuhao could be used as the Tang Sect's signature to attract those ignorant freshmen.

Tang Ya's voice stirred Wang Dong's heart intentionally or unintentionally, and it seemed as if there was a voice in her mind guiding her.

"Tang Sect, this was once the number one sect on the continent, and the Tang Sect's hidden weapons are even more magical and mysterious. This is a good opportunity, I must join the Tang Sect."

Wang Dong walked towards Huo Yuhao and the other two in a daze 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 remained silent at this time, and the ability of his Eye of Truth had already been activated.

He observed that when Wang Dongtou heard the words related to Tang Sect, a golden rune seemed to become active in his mind.

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

"It's weird, really weird, you'd better stay away from it."

After hearing Wang Dong's words and seeing that Wang Dong's expression seemed very determined, Tang Ya was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After all, judging from Wang Dong's clothes, her background is not simple, and this kind of student with a powerful affiliation is actually the most difficult to arrange, unless the power behind her does not value her.

At this time, Bei Bei stood up and helped Tang Ya out: "It's getting late. This little brother is also a new student. Let's go register with Yu Hao first."

"Joining the sect is a matter of great importance. You should think about it carefully first. Little ya should also think about it carefully. There is no need to rush."

Tang Ya nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, let's go register first and talk about it after registration."

Registration was done in the Freshman Teaching Building. The pure white Freshman Teaching Building was on the south side of the square, not far away, and Huo Yuhao and his three companions arrived here quickly.

Because of the delay, it is now the period of recruiting new students. The freshman teaching building is still very busy now. Many new students who have passed the assessment are registering here.

"It's not Class 1, it's not Class 1." Soon it was Huo Yuhao's turn to report and register. Bei Bei paid the tuition for Huo Yuhao, which cost a total of ten gold soul coins.

Huo Yuhao was silently praying to all the gods and Buddhas he had heard of in his original world. Of course, he could not be praying to the Sea God Tang San. If Tang San really received it, he would have made arrangements directly.

But things went against one's will, or it could be that Tang San had already arranged it, Huo Yuhao was still assigned to Class 1, and his roommate who was either dead or alive was Wang Dong again.

"Forget it. I expected this before I came here. I'll just be as careful as possible from now on. If it doesn't work, I'll just spend the night in the library. With Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm here, it doesn't matter whether I sleep or not."

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

When registering, Tang Ya had already made up her mind that no matter whether Wang Dong had a background or not, the Tang Clan was now at its lowest point.

Even if Wang Dong joined the Tang Sect and attracted strong men from the forces behind them, they would not be able to do anything to the Tang Sect. The worst that could happen was that they would just take Wang Dong away, which was completely within their tolerable range.

Huo Yuhao nodded and did not refuse directly. After all, things had come to this point, and it was obvious that Tang San was definitely keeping a close eye on him at this stage, so it was better not to create unnecessary trouble.

Then Little ya and I will leave first.” Beibei said goodbye to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong with a smile, and left the freshman teaching building with Tang Ya.  

 

“Let’s go.” Huo Yuhao didn’t say much and quickly brought Wang Dong to the dormitory building.

At this time, Dragon God Douluo Moon, the Ultimate Douluo who was approaching his death, was half lying on his chair as usual, enjoying the afternoon sun and the rare youthful noise of the new boys and girls.

At this time, he noticed Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. The reason was simple. As an Extreme Douluo, he could naturally see the strength and cultivation of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

"Level 12 soul power, interesting. And judging by the clothes he's wearing, he doesn't come from a powerful family. Is this belt a special recruit of the Tang Sect?"

"But the child next to him has a soul power of level 21, and it seems that he should be the child that Haotian Sect sent some time ago."

"It seems that these two little guys get along well. Tang Ya is lucky this time and has discovered a good disciple."

With his eyes narrowed, although his mind was racing, Moon did not make any movement, just lying on the recliner as before.

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

Entering the dormitory, Huo Yuhao said directly to Wang Dong: "This bed is mine, and that one is yours. Along this line as the center, each of you will have half. Take care of your own hygiene, and don't interfere with each other's lives privately. Any problem?"

Wang Dong first covered his mouth and nose with his hands. At this time, the freshman dormitory had not been cleaned yet. As the two of them entered, it was full of dust and garbage. After a while, no so-called rules were proposed like in the original book.

He nodded and replied, "Okay."

After all, she had fought side by side with Huo Yuhao before, and she inexplicably wanted to join the Tang Sect, and she didn't want to ruin her relationship with her future fellow disciple, especially when this fellow disciple was Huo Yuhao.

Soon, the two of them prepared their own luggage, because Bei Bei had given Huo Yuhao some funds before.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao did not live as poorly as in the original novel. At least he could afford a quilt and did not have to sleep on a wooden bed like in the original novel.

Soon, Huo Yuhao finished cleaning the place. He did not bother with Wang Dong, who was busy and had a messy pile of luggage, and walked straight out of the dormitory.

"You clean up, I'm going to the cafeteria first."

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

Perhaps in order to set rules for first-year students, the cafeteria dedicated to first-year freshmen of Shrek Academy does not have tables and chairs. All first-year students, regardless of their background, must eat while standing here.

"So what's the practical significance of this? Shrek City is just outside the academy. If the rich and powerful people want to eat, they will go out in a minute. What's the point of this other than cheating the common people?"

"Besides, those students with good backgrounds must have special people to provide food for them, so why would they need to come to your cafeteria to eat?"

Huo Yuhao thought helplessly, but he was too lazy to care. After all, he was just a rookie who could be bullied by everyone. After getting some food, he had a simple meal here and left.

'Library, library, finally found it.'

After some effort and asking around, Huo Yuhao finally found the school library in the outer courtyard.

It has to be said that after thousands of years of accumulation, there are really a lot of books in the Shrek Academy Library, at least even in the memory of a time traveler.

However, compared to other places, the huge library seems a little empty. After all, it is not as good as being able to improve one's strength and please oneself through practice.

Few people can calm down and study various martial arts theories or knowledge books. At least that’s what Huo Yuhao thought before he actually read the books here.

But after actually reading it, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown. "What are these? The Ten Core Theories of Martial Soul, The Impact of Blue Silver Grass on Ecology, The Seven Deadly Sins of Marital Soul Hall, and The Seven Monsters' List of Fame: One, Two, Three, Four, Five."

'I am really overwhelmed by the amount of nonsense and unproven theories in the books, plus the amount of biographies written by unknown people.'

'It's all bullshit. No wonder there are so many books. They're all chicken soup for the soul, novels and information pollution, right? It's like panning for gold in shit. It looks like it's going to take a long time to find something useful.'

Huo Yuhao thought helplessly, but he thought of another thing, 'It's no wonder why ordinary students are not interested in this place, but maybe I can try the soul skill assistance?'

Then, through the sharing of spirit, Huo Yuhao said to Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, "Brother Heavenly Dream, can you help me conceal the use of my spirit skills? I want to do an experiment."

"Ah? Oh? Okay, okay." Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm stuttered for some reason, and no one knew what he was doing before.

Walking to a bookshelf, Huo Yuhao picked up a book as a cover, and then launched a mental detection. With the coverage of the mental detection, the pages of the book were not opened.

However, the contents of the covered books on these bookshelves were scanned in great detail by spiritual detection.

By leveraging the photographic memory of the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao memorized the contents of hundreds of books in just a few moments.

But, "Ah, fuck, my head hurts, what is all this?" Huo Yuhao quickly turned off the mental detection and held onto the bookshelf in a daze.

Unlike previous battles where only understanding was needed to observe the environment and battlefield, the knowledge recorded in these books needed to be accurately memorized after understanding, so the mental energy consumed in this short moment was far beyond that of 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 martial soul mutation and strong mental power, the CPU of the brain of an ordinary person would probably be burned dry at this moment.

"I was too careless, but now I know that the learning efficiency after combining mental detection with the Eye of Truth is indeed amazing. It's just that I can't use it at full power now. I'd better take a rest first and then proceed step by step."

Huo Yuhao found a seat at random and sat down. He laid on the table, closed his eyes and dozed off, trying to calm his mind which was restless due to receiving a large amount of information.

'But maybe I can read ten books at a time, and then there won't be any pressure.'
