Eastsea Nine Gates

After a half-hour lecture, Chen Jianshu and the others were brought out by Wu Bingyu's mother, Aunt Long.

As he walked out of the public security bureau, he shook his head slightly. What a pity. They lived in a society ruled by law now. Otherwise, just for hissing at them like Tang Yin had, back in the era of Douluo I or Douluo II, he would already have had a way to die!

Unfortunately, the law had saved him this time. Though he couldn't quite put it that way. After all, who the hell knew whether Tang Yin had something like a divine sense on him?

If he really did have something like a divine sense, that would be trouble. It wouldn't be something they could handle. Still, Little Scumbag probably wouldn't make a move against Tang Wulin or Wu Bingyu.

But that brought him to something he found strange. How had Little Scumbag and Xiao Wu both reincarnated on Douluo Star? Had something happened?

He couldn't make heads or tails of it, no matter how hard he thought. The plot had gone completely off the rails. If several of Legend of the Dragon King's core members hadn't still been around, he might even have suspected he'd transmigrated to the wrong place.

Yuhao's Grilled Fish Restaurant.

"So your name is Chen Jianshu. Why did you give a random name at the Turbulent Period Spirit Ascension Platform?"

Wu Bingyu sat beside Chen Jianshu, her brows knitting slightly after learning that the name he'd given her back then was fake. Well, well, well. The friend she'd been talking about all this time had been using a fake name from the start...

"Ahem. When you're out and about, you choose your own identity. What if I gave my real name, then killed people and robbed them of spiritual power, and they held a grudge against me?"

Chen Jianshu coughed lightly a few times. Back then, he'd simply given the first name that came to mind. If anyone had killed people, it was Tang Wulin. What did that have to do with him, Chen Jianshu?

"So we had a fight together, and we even teamed up to defeat plenty of opponents. Didn't you trust me at all?"

Wu Bingyu gazed at him reproachfully. She really hadn't expected him to have been unwilling to reveal even his name back then. Her stare made his eyes twitch, and he could only change the subject.

"Uh... what's done is done. Let's eat first, let's eat."

Na'er, sitting nearby, had long since started wolfing down her food. Only then did Wu Bingyu notice that the petite, adorable silver-haired girl had already polished off five huge basins of rice. Her jaw dropped.

She then glanced at Tang Wulin, who sat beside Xie Xie not far away. Several large basins were set out in front of him too, making the corner of her eye twitch. Well, well, well. Two supreme beings, two gluttons in one family.

On the other side, Tang Wulin was a little distracted. Even his eating had slowed considerably; it had taken him three whole minutes to polish off three huge basins of rice. Noticing that his good brother seemed out of sorts, Xie Xie poked him curiously and asked him about it.

"What's wrong, Wulin? You're eating so slowly today. No appetite?"

"Hm? Huh? No... I just feel like something's really strange..."

The distracted Tang Wulin froze for a moment at the question, then hurriedly shook his head, his eyes drifting instinctively toward Wu Bingyu, who was sitting with Chen Jianshu.

He didn't know why, but that girl felt so familiar... almost like... a mother.

That was what he found strange. He kept feeling as though she were his mother, and the thought startled him every time.

No, no! She's the same age as me, and I already have a mom. How could I have a thought like that? Yet that sense of familiarity followed him like a shadow.

He'd felt the same way about Tang Yin earlier, though only faintly. But the motherly feeling he got from Wu Bingyu was far, far stronger.

Wu Bingyu, sitting nearby, also found Tang Wulin across from her a little familiar. But this was their first meeting, and she didn't know why either, so she paid it no mind.

After dinner, everyone prepared to head back, and Chen Jianshu said his goodbyes.

"Bing Yu, we're heading back to Eastsea Academy. If we get the chance, we can talk again next time."

"Eastsea Academy? What a coincidence! I'll be enrolling at Eastsea Academy in a while too. We'll be classmates then."

"You're enrolling too? Are you a transfer student?"

Chen Jianshu was astonished to hear that she would be joining Eastsea Academy too. Well, well, well. Your whole family of three has come running to Eastsea Academy, huh!

Wu Bingyu nodded slightly and explained why. These days, it wasn't uncommon for parents going away on business to bring their children along because they were worried about their safety.

"More or less. My mom and dad have to come to Eastsea City on business for a while, so I transferred here with them."

"Then of course we welcome you. Eastsea Academy is a gathering place for talents. Everyone there is talented, and they're all pleasant to talk to. We really look forward to having you join us."

Chen Jianshu welcomed her, and he wasn't lying. Just look at Eastsea Academy now. It was overflowing with talent.

There was Xie Xie, who, though an ordinary human, competed with the Golden Dragon King in strength and the Silver Dragon King in Spiritual Power. There was Xu Xiaoyan, the number one control master beneath the starry sky.

There was Tang Wulin, a son of the Sea God who possessed the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.

There was also Gu Yue, the Silver Dragon King of world-shocking wisdom, and Na'er, the Silver Dragon King's other half.

Add to them Tang Yin, the reincarnation of Tang Buddha; Wu Bingyu, the reincarnation of Xiao Wu; and Chen Jianshu himself, an extraterritorial heavenly demon. That made a full eight talents.

Now you're bound to ask: "Streamer, streamer, your Eastsea Eight Talents are certainly strong, but they're too hard to play. Can you recommend a hero who's simpler and still powerful?"

Yes, brothers, yes. Of course there's more than one hero who's both simple and powerful.

So, coming up next is a powerhouse who punches the Golden Dragon King, kicks the Silver Dragon King, and carries Spacetime Douluo in his left hand and Starry Sky Douluo in his right.

Skyfrost Douluo, the number one melancholy heartthrob of Legend of the Dragon King: Eastsea's Little Changkong himself!

The Eastsea Eight Talents, plus Eastsea's foremost, Wu Changkong, were collectively known as the Eastsea Nine Gates. Eastsea Academy now had its very own Nine Gates.

Hearing Chen Jianshu introduce Eastsea Academy like that, Wu Bingyu began to look forward to it. It sounded like fun! Overflowing with talent? Could that mean there are lots of geniuses? Then I can fight to my heart's content! I'm going to be Eastsea Academy's big sister!

"Really? Then I'll look forward to it too. Goodbye, Jianshu. See you at Eastsea Academy."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Chen Jianshu, she skipped over to her mother, took her hand, and left.

Xu Xiaoyan watched the brown-haired girl leave. When she'd used her Martial Soul earlier, she had apparently possessed level thirty-four Soul Power and three purple Soul Rings. She was no simple person.

Na'er, meanwhile, was carefree. After eating to her heart's content, she took Chen Jianshu's hand and prepared to head back. She didn't have many thoughts about Wu Bingyu.

Wu Bingyu would protect Chen Jianshu and was her brother's friend, which meant she was a good person. Na'er had no other thoughts beyond that.

"A Shu, that girl is no simple person. Her Soul Power Level is so high. She's already level thirty-four, three levels higher than me."

"She's a genius. That's normal. We're all ordinary people, so it's normal for us to be a little behind too~"

P.S.: That's the third update for July 21.
