Douluo: Eternal Life from the Legend of Dragon King

Chapter 5 All beings are chess pieces
The next morning, the alarm that Chen Xi set yesterday rang on time.

A harsh sound reached Chen Xi's ears. He opened his dry eyes, sat up and turned off the alarm clock. During this process, he couldn't help but yawn.

Yesterday he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep, his mind full of future plans. He didn't fall asleep until he couldn't bear it anymore.

His young body had not yet started training, so his energy was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary child. Therefore, he could feel a little sleepy now, but it was not very serious, probably just the level of sleepiness from staying up late.

After Chen Xi got out of bed, dressed and washed up, he happened to run into Dean Wu who opened the door to look for him.

"Are you ready? Never mind, let's not talk about this any more. It's getting late. Let's go downstairs with the dean."

Looking at the neatly dressed Chen Xi, Dean Wu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said.

"Well, let's go together."

Chen Xi nodded and walked out the door.

The two of them walked to the courtyard of the orphanage together. There were about 150 children standing in the courtyard. They were all those who could awaken their martial spirits today.

"Very good, everyone is here. Today is the day of your martial soul awakening, and it is a major turning point in your life. I won't say any more nonsense, and everyone should follow me in a disciplined manner."

When the vice president saw President Wu and Chen Xi coming down, he clapped his hands and said to the child in front of him.

Some of the children standing in the yard looked at Chen Xi who was walking with the dean, with envy and jealousy in their eyes, and spoke in a sour tone.

"You are not even older than me, but you pretend to be mature with a cold face every day."

"Isn't the dean too nice to Chen Xi?"

"Humph, if you can make money for the dean like him, the dean will be so good to you."

Some of the more mature children also refuted those jealous people.

Chen Xi, who was walking past these people with Dean Wu, also heard the children's muttering, but Chen Xi ignored them. He had heard such words countless times over the years and had long been immune to them.

What's more, these are just little kids. As long as what they do is not too excessive, I won't make a big deal about it. Therefore, I just follow the dean quietly as he walks past them.

However, Chen Xi's indifference does not mean that others do not care. The vice-president glared at the little kid in front of him with some anger. Seeing that the vice-president was angry, the children did not dare to say anything nonsense anymore.

Arriving at the street in front of the orphanage, there was a soul-guided car parked on the street, and behind the car were several soul-guided buses parked in sequence. Chen Xi walked to the soul-guided car, and the driver standing next to the car stepped forward to open the door for Chen Xi, and subconsciously protected the top of the door with his hand to avoid a collision.

Dean Wu sat in the co-pilot seat, while Chen Xi sat alone in the back seat. After receiving Dean Wu's instructions, the driver started the soul-guided car.

The engine emitted a low roar, and then the soul-guided car set off towards Hongshan College.

"Originally I wanted to take you to the Spirit Pagoda, but with the arrival of the Awakening Day, the Spirit Pagoda masters have been assigned to various places, so I have to let you go."

After the car started, Dean Wu subconsciously explained it to Chen Xi.

She originally wanted the Spirit Pagoda to find someone to awaken Chen Xi's martial soul because of his talent.

However, due to the awakening day, the Soul Pagoda was also responsible for the awakening of the martial souls of a city. There was a real shortage of manpower and the title of genius was not worth mentioning to the Soul Pagoda, so there was no one to awaken the martial soul specifically for him.

After all, even if you are a genius picked out of ten thousand, there are still a thousand such geniuses among ten million people, not to mention that the number of people that the Spirit Pagoda helps awaken every year is sometimes more than ten million.

Genius? They've seen it all.

Before his martial spirit awakened, Chen Xi was just a person with some literary talent in their eyes.

After hearing the dean's explanation, Chen Xi nodded to show his understanding. He had no complaints. He could take advantage of the opportunity of his martial soul awakening to see if he could meet Tang Wulin.

Dean Wu saw that Chen Xi's attitude was the same as usual and stopped talking. Then the two of them, each with their own thoughts, did not speak to each other along the way.

Chen Xi leaned against the car window, looking at the high-rise buildings rapidly receding outside the window, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Aolai City, Tang Wulin, Gu Yuena...

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to meet the Son of the Plane of this era today.

As for the Silver Dragon King who later transformed into a human form and came to this small city, as well as the subsequent invasion of the abyss plane, etc., all of this originated from the calculations of a certain God King.

"The curtain is rising, and all living beings are chess pieces..."

Chen Xi secretly thought in his heart that if he wanted to stop being a chess piece, he had to have absolute strength. Only then would he be able to jump out of the chessboard and get rid of his identity as a chess piece.
