Douluo: Infinite Lottery System

The next morning.

The sky had yet to brighten, but Tang San and the others were already lined up in the open space.

Xiao Tianyang counted the heads and frowned. "Where's Oscar?"

Tang San, who shared a dorm with Oscar, spoke up. "He asked for leave today. He said his soul power seems to be reaching level 30."

Xiao Tianyang nodded, then scanned the group again. "Why do you all look so lifeless? Look at the Xiao san and Saber. What's wrong with you?"

Ma Hongjun yawned, looking utterly drained. "Tianyang, do we really have to train this early? Why not in the afternoon or evening?"

"Yeah, we're barely awake," Xiao Wu added, rubbing her eyes.

"Haven't you heard that the day's plan begins in the morning?" Xiao Tianyang glared at them. "When you run with weights later, you two will each add ten kilograms."

Dai Mubai looked surprised. "What? We have to run with weights too?"

Xiao Tianyang noticed that Dai Mubai seemed in good spirits, which meant yesterday's incident likely hadn't affected him much. As for how Dai Mubai had processed it, Xiao Tianyang didn't care to ask—it wasn't his business anyway.

"Otherwise, what's the point of running in the morning?" Xiao Tianyang pulled out modern weight-bearing sandbags from his storage ring. "Come and get them."

Reluctantly, everyone stepped forward to collect their sandbags. Among them, Tang San and Saber remained unfazed. Zhu Zhuqing would likely have been the same if not for her poor condition. Unfortunately, yesterday's events seemed to have left her somewhat distracted this morning.

But it was fine. A couple of laps would clear her mind.

Xiao Tianyang noticed a pair of sandbags still lying beside him and turned to Ning Rongrong, who was lingering nearby. "What are you doing?"

Ning Rongrong pointed at herself, confused. "Do I need them too?"

"Of course. Do you think I prepared these for myself?" Xiao Tianyang raised an eyebrow.

Ning Rongrong hesitated. "Twenty laps is already my limit. If I run with weights..."

Xiao Tianyang cut her off sternly. "If I say you can do it, then you can. Tie them on!"

Ning Rongrong had no choice but to comply. "Okay."

Soon, under Xiao Tianyang's urging, everyone began their run. As their coach, Xiao Tianyang naturally led the way—on a bicycle.

This time, Tang San and the others couldn't slow down, so they had to keep pace with Bubu.

Three hours later. 

Thanks to their previous training, no one collapsed exhausted this time.

"Don't lie down. Do some cool-down exercises with me, or your muscles will ache later," Xiao Tianyang reminded.

"Can we take the sandbags off now?" Xiao Wu pouted.

"No. The sandbags stay on until the end of training," Xiao Tianyang replied firmly.

He then began guiding them through a series of cool-down exercises.

In the distance, Flander watched the scene with a satisfied nod.

"With Tianyang here, we teachers can worry a lot less," he remarked.

Beside him, Zhao Wouji also wore a pleased expression.

"Students teaching students—do you know how happy that makes us teachers?" Zao Wouji mused.

Flander glanced at him. "Oscar seems to have hit the level 30 bottleneck, and Tianyang is almost there too. When the time comes, you'll lead the team to the Star Dou Forest to help them obtain their soul rings."

Zao Wouji: "..."

"What, not happy?" Flanders asked.

"How could I not be?" Zao Woujii reluctantly accepted the task. "But aren't you going to oversee things over there?"

"They'll learn what they need to. There's no need for us to intervene except for the required courses," Flanders said casually.

And it was true. When it came to practical training, Xiao Tianyang seemed capable of teaching them more than the teachers themselves. Even Flander had to admit that.

He had even secretly learned Xiao Tianyang's so-called Wing Chun, which proved incredibly useful! Previously, when sparring with Zao Wouji, their matches were evenly split. But after learning Wing Chun, Flander now had a clear advantage, winning six out of ten matches.

What puzzled him, though, was that Zao Wouji had also learned Wing Chun but struggled to apply it effectively, often looking clumsy and uncoordinated. The teachers had discussed this but couldn't figure out why.

Wing Chun itself wasn't the issue—Flander was living proof of its effectiveness. This left them all a bit baffled.

Of course, pride kept them from asking Xiao Tianyang directly. After all, as teachers, they felt a little embarrassed to seek guidance from a student.

Afternoon. 

After lunch and a short break, Xiao Tianyang lay under a large tree, taking a nap—or rather, pondering his soul ring situation.

"My first soul ring is 7,000 years old, the second is 20,000 years, and the third should be 50,000 years..." Xiao Tianyang shook his head. "It seems like system is really pushing me to my limits."

"But if this pattern continues, I'll likely need a 100,000-year soul ring for my fourth or even fifth soul ring. Isn't that life-threatening?"

He wasn't sure how many 100,000-year soul beasts existed on the Douluo Continent, but he knew they were exceedingly rare—and each one would be a formidable opponent.

But there was no way around it. Every soul beast he needed had to be dealt with personally; no one else could interfere.

And soul beasts over 100,000 years old were on a completely different level! Even if Xiao Tianyang could handle one, what about the next?

He sighed, too lazy to think further, and glanced at the system page in his mind.

Host triggers the main quest: [Third Soul Ring].

Objective: Obtain a third soul ring independently, with a minimum age of 50,000 years.

Reward: Random Martial Soul x1!

Host triggers main quest: [Great Spirit Arena].

Objective: Earn an Amethyst Badge in the Great Spirit Arena. 

Restrictions: Do not use abilities other than your first soul skill.

Reward: Level 3 Lottery x1! 

This was the first time Xiao Tianyang had received two main quests simultaneously.

"The second quest shouldn't be a problem. If I go every day, I should be able to complete it in a few months."

"But the first quest... I'll need to think carefully. Going with Teacher Zhao and the others might cause unnecessary trouble."

Xiao Tianyang recalled the plot where Tang San and the others ventured into the Star Dou Forest. While they had narrowly escaped danger, there was no guarantee things would go smoothly this time.

Just as he was deep in thought, a voice interrupted him.

"Tianyang, it's time for us to set off."

Xiao Tianyang looked up and saw the elegant Zhu Zhuqing standing not far away, gazing at him.
