Gu Yue: No, You're Really the Golden Dragon King?

"Level 28."

"Another Level 28!"

At those words, the entire hall erupted. Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, and Wei Xiaofeng were especially stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

It was not only because her talent was strong, but because how could someone match the boss in terms of talent?

There was actually a second person in the world with such talent!

Even Xie Xie stared blankly. The two of them were both ten levels higher than him!

A whole major realm higher—it made him seem so useless!

"Gu..."

"Gu Yue?"

Tang Luochuan looked at the girl beside him. Even his calm eyes were briefly filled with shock, his heart completely overwhelmed by surprise.

Gu Yue—she was actually Gu Yue!

No wonder he had always felt drawn to her whenever he looked at her. So it was because...

She was the Silver Dragon King, who was mutually attracted to him!

But had she appeared this early? Had she already reached Level 28 at this age? No way, right?

"Could these changes be because of..."

"Me?"

Tang Luochuan pondered inwardly.

If it had been anything else, it would have been fine. But if she was specifically Level 28, then she must have begun paying attention to him much earlier...

After all, in the Original Work, she had only been Level 16!

Under normal circumstances, she would have needed at least another two years to break through to this level, rather than reaching it now...

"That was within expectations too."

Tang Luochuan thought to himself.

Unlike Wulin, who had not possessed the Golden Dragon King Bloodline at the beginning, he had already possessed the complete Golden Dragon King Bloodline the moment his Martial Soul awakened.

How could such a situation possibly escape her notice?

"My face..."

"Is there something on it?"

Noticing his gaze, Gu Yue looked back at him. She froze slightly before asking as though she did not care.

"Nothing."

"I just didn't expect your talent to be so strong."

Tang Luochuan shook his head and replied calmly.

"Is it?"

"But aren't we the same?"

A faint smile rested on Gu Yue's face as her beautiful eyes fell upon him, as though she wanted to see through him completely.

That look just now... could it be...

Had he sensed something too?

"Mm..."

"Indeed."

Tang Luochuan smiled but said nothing more.

"Now that everyone has gotten to know one another, I hope all of you will have the best possible school life at Eastsea Academy..."

After the introductions, the homeroom teacher spoke again. The smile on her face never faded.

With so many geniuses in the class, how could she not be excited?

Since it was their first day of registration, there were no specific lessons or excessive arrangements. They were simply allowed to get acquainted with one another before being dismissed.

However, after Tang Luochuan and Gu Yue finished introducing themselves, everyone's eyes visibly dimmed again. The reason was simple—

It was no secret that Wu Changkong taught the first years. At the very least, these students who had once been praised as geniuses all knew it.

Since their current teacher was not him, how could they possibly be satisfied?

"After school."

"Do you have time?"

Not long afterward, Gu Yue looked at Tang Luochuan and took the initiative to ask.

"Hmm?"

"I do. What do you want to do?"

Tang Luochuan nodded without hesitation.

"Can I see your Martial Soul?"

Gu Yue stared into his eyes as she spoke slowly.

She wanted to confirm whether his Martial Soul was truly what she thought it was—the Golden Dragon King.

"No problem."

Tang Luochuan did not refuse. He smiled at her.

This day would come sooner or later. Since she had taken the initiative, there was no harm in letting her see it.

At the very least, because of Na'er, she could not possibly do anything to him.

"Alright."

"..."

"Boss, let's go eat."

After school, Zhang Yangzi and the others came over to Tang Luochuan. Their gazes inevitably flickered toward Gu Yue beside him. With talent equal to the boss's, this person was certainly terrifying.

"He can't go with you."

Before Tang Luochuan could speak, Gu Yue had already opened her mouth. Her words came to an abrupt end, as though she had no intention of saying anything more to them.

"Huh?"

Zhang Yangzi scratched his head in confusion.

The boss and this girl...

Could they have some secret they could not tell others?

Did they know each other already?

"I promised her I had something to do after school."

"You guys go ahead."

Tang Luochuan explained with a smile.

"Hmm?"

"Alright, alright, then we'll head off first..."

Zhang Yangzi still wanted to say something, but Wang Jinxi beside him seemed to understand something. He grabbed Zhang Yangzi by the hand and left with the other two.

"Let's go."

Tang Luochuan stood up first, then said.

"Alright."

Gu Yue answered with a smile and followed at his side as they headed toward the training field.

At this time of day, there were not many people on the training field. The two of them went to a corner and faced each other.

"You can begin."

Expectation filled Gu Yue's eyes as she spoke slowly.

At that moment, she even felt somewhat impatient.

She knew a great deal about the person before her. It could be said that she knew most things about him. Even his exact cultivation level had been told to her by Di Tian.

But regarding his Martial Soul... she had only heard about it and had never truly seen it for herself. She wanted to know whether he was really as she imagined.

"Alright."

Martial Soul Possession.

Tang Luochuan said nothing more. As dense Soul Power surged through his body, a familiar aura rushed toward Gu Yue.

In an instant, bursts of powerful Golden Light appeared, and behind him rose a huge, domineering Golden Dragon phantom.

Distinct signs of Dragon Transformation covered his body, especially his claws. They looked incredibly powerful at a glance.

In Gu Yue's eyes, they shone even more brilliantly.

"..."

Looking at the person before her, Gu Yue was stunned for a moment. Ripples arose in her calm eyes and refused to settle for a long while.

The Golden Dragon King...

It really was the Golden Dragon King!

Even though Di Tian had told her that the aura on him was incredibly powerful, and that apart from being weaker, it was no different from the Golden Dragon King who had once been split in two, still...

How was this possible?!

She had truly felt the Golden Dragon King's aura disappear completely. How could it possibly have become a human?

Unless...

A strange light flickered in Gu Yue's eyes.

"Tang Luochuan, can I ask you something?"

Looking at him, Gu Yue could not help asking slowly.

"Hmm?"

"Go ahead."

Tang Luochuan nodded in agreement.

"Well..."

"Were you really born to your father and mother?"

Gu Yue asked, somewhat suspiciously.

"..."

"Huh?"
