Classmate, You Should Smile More...

Hu Liena and Ling Chang'an had a thoroughly pleasant lunch together. His dear senior sister, Hu Liena, even gave him a chicken drumstick, while Ling Chang'an, the Sea King, pretended it tasted delicious as he flirted with her.

As a Sea King who had transmigrated from an era of exploding confidence, Ling Chang'an's flirting skills were simply top-notch. Whatever Hu Liena said, he could pick it up and happily keep the flirtation going.

For example, the following exchange:

"Junior brother, do you really have Twin Martial Souls?"

"Mm. What's your Martial Soul, Senior Sister?"

"My Martial Soul? It's a Beast Soul—a fox."

"Wow, a fox? I've liked foxes since I was little. I really want to see what you look like after Martial Soul Possession, Senior Sister."

"Haha, you'll see it sooner or later. You're so handsome and talented, Junior Brother. Teacher will definitely like you a lot in the future."

"Not at all, Senior Sister. In my heart, you've always been my most beautiful senior sister. Besides, Teacher is both of our teacher. I'll always respect Teacher and you, Senior Sister, from now on."

There was no need for lofty words. Ling Chang'an had merely highlighted Hu Liena's strengths without seeming to mean to, while also teasing her a little about her Martial Soul.

A Sea King had to start young!

After lunch, Hu Liena still had things to do. She reminded Ling Chang'an to wait for her after class so they could go to Papal Hall together, then parted from him at the cafeteria entrance.

Just as Ling Chang'an was about to continue wandering around the academy, he suddenly spotted a small, slender figure in the distance. That figure was taking a solitary, aimless walk. Who else could it be but Qian Renxue?

Ling Chang'an could not help touching his little face and clicking his tongue in admiration. This was truly the kind of luck that could not be stopped. Including the cookies he had given Bibi Dong that morning, he had indirectly flirted with four beauties in a single day—and the fourth was right in front of him.

"Qian Renxue, why are you here?" Ling Chang'an jogged a few steps and quickly caught up to Qian Renxue, asking in a familiar manner.

Qian Renxue gave Ling Chang'an a cold glance, then continued walking forward on her own, showing no intention of speaking at all.

Her identity had always been concealed within the academy. Combined with the environment she had grown up in, it had shaped Qian Renxue into the person she was now. She did not want to bother with anyone, and only in front of her grandfather would she reveal her true self.

Moreover, Qian Renxue had recently been undergoing disguise training. It was said that that woman intended to arrange for her to replace Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Qian Renxue did not object. Leaving this place might be a good choice as well.

"Hey, Qian Renxue, how can you be like this? People should smile more often." Ling Chang'an shamelessly moved in front of Qian Renxue, clasping his hands behind his back as he spoke with the air of a little adult.

Of course, he knew why Qian Renxue had such a temperament, but Ling Chang'an still chose to shamelessly chat with her. If she ignored him for one day, he would talk to her for two. One day, Qian Renxue would speak to him.

"Hmph, boring!"

Qian Renxue's cool, crisp voice rang out, and she made a horizontal pushing motion. Though she did not use much force, her Soul Power was still far beyond anything Ling Chang'an could compare to at present!

Yet Ling Chang'an's response was even more shameless. Without activating his Martial Soul, he also extended his right hand in a blocking gesture. By sheer coincidence, his right hand caught Qian Renxue's left hand as it pushed toward him!

After catching Qian Renxue's left hand, Ling Chang'an was not pushed back by her force. Instead, he stood rooted in place like an ancient tree, his right hand holding her left hand in midair.

After all, Ling Chang'an's physical strength had been judged by the system as sufficient to absorb a nine-hundred-year soul ring. Qian Renxue could not push him away with such a casual shove, so he took the opportunity to feel her little hand as well.

It really was smooth and soft. He wondered what it would feel like for such a little hand to touch his treasure.

"Y-You, let go!" Qian Renxue's little face reddened as she glared furiously at Ling Chang'an. It was the first time an opposite-sex person had touched her hand, so naturally, she was very uncomfortable.

But when she tried to pull her hand back, she discovered that without releasing her Martial Soul, she was simply not as strong as this guy. Qian Renxue had no choice but to yield.

"Fine, but whenever I come talk to you in the future, you have to answer me."

Ling Chang'an magnanimously released Qian Renxue's little hand and said with a mischievous smile.

Different women required different attitudes and methods. That was an essential skill for an outstanding Sea King.

For example, with Bibi Dong, he had chosen the subtle approach; with Hu Liena, flirtation and praise; while with someone like Qian Renxue, Ling Chang'an chose this method.

"You won't see me again!" The blush on Qian Renxue's face had not completely faded, but her temper was still fierce. She shot Ling Chang'an a cold glare and quickly walked away.

She decided she would never come here for walks again!

The afternoon class was held outside the classroom, and what surprised Ling Chang'an most was that there were a full eleven teachers teaching them, each with no weak aura!

That was the treatment given to Spirit Hall Academy's Elite Class. Cultivation classes were always taught one-on-one, and every teacher possessed at least the strength of a Soul Emperor!

The teacher assigned to Ling Chang'an today was none other than his homeroom teacher, Cui Yongqin.

"Chang'an, come, sit down first." Cui Yongqin pointed to the grass opposite her and spoke gently to Ling Chang'an. For such a cute little boy, she could not bring herself to get angry even if she wanted to.

Naturally, Ling Chang'an thanked her, then sat down cross-legged, his little face wearing an innocent and adorable expression.

Qian Renxue, who was some distance away, happened to see him like this. She immediately scoffed inwardly. Who would have thought that just a few minutes ago, Ling Chang'an had been acting like a little hooligan?

"Chang'an, your Martial Souls are Twin Martial Souls. One is an axe, and the other is a bell. The axe focuses on offense, while the bell focuses on defense. I'm not wrong, am I?" Cui Yongqin sat rather casually on the grass, her eyes fixed on Ling Chang'an as she asked.

Ling Chang'an nodded. There was nothing to deny. When his Martial Souls awakened, they had both appeared at once. Even if he wanted to hide them, he could not.

Ah, it couldn't be helped. Geniuses were just this troubled and helpless.

"My recommendation is that you focus on cultivating your axe first. As for your other Martial Soul, I do not recommend cultivating it now. This is also His Holiness the Pope's arrangement."

"You must understand that if one day in the future, you become a Titled Douluo, you can then attach soul rings to your bell. At that time, your bell Martial Soul will begin with ten-thousand-year soul rings as its foundation, which will greatly benefit your future."

Cui Yongqin gave her advice sincerely. It was also the most suitable advice for a soul master with Twin Martial Souls, so her words were indeed heartfelt.

Upon hearing this, Ling Chang'an first put on an enlightened, astonished expression before repeatedly nodding and thanking Cui Yongqin for her advice.

There was nothing else he could do. He could not exactly say that even if he attached soul rings now, he would still be able to upgrade them later. So he could only nod in agreement.
