Boom!

With a thought from Lin Xuan, a ball of golden flame rose from his palm. The intense heat warped the surrounding air.

After absorbing the Bloodline Peculiar Strength of the Flame Lion King, Azure Leaf Sword Bamboo had acquired this golden flame from the Flame Lion King.

"This is rather like a special Soul Bone?"

Lin Xuan spoke after carefully sensing it. This golden flame came from his use of Azure Leaf Sword Bamboo's ability, and it felt different from a Soul Ring.

"Heavenly Flame Funeral!"

Lin Xuan shouted softly. Clusters of golden flames rose around him, instantly filling the sky like blazing suns hanging overhead.

This was clearly the fire-type soul skill of that Mutant Lion King from before!

Snap!

Lin Xuan snapped his fingers, and the golden flames in the sky gradually faded away.

Although Lin Xuan was only a Soul Grandmaster, his Spiritual Power had already reached over three hundred and eighty. He was not far from the Spirit Sea Realm, and in terms of Spiritual Power, he was not much weaker than that Flame Lion King.

If he unleashed Heavenly Flame Funeral here, more than half of the school's Back Mountain would probably be ruined. Last time, he had made a complete mess of the place while practicing his sword, and Long Hengxu had invited him for tea.

He had better keep a low profile for now!

The next day, Zero Class.

"Regarding yesterday's trip to the Spirit Ascension Platform, I'll give you all ten points!"

Wu Changkong stood at the podium and addressed the group.

"Really? Are we already that amazing? Hehe!"

Wang Jinxi scratched his head and chuckled. This was the first time Wu Changkong had given them such a high evaluation.

"The full score is one hundred."

Wu Changkong calmly added.

"You think you did well? No, you could clearly have done much better!"

Wu Changkong said mercilessly.

"First, when faced with an abnormal situation, you acted rashly without investigating carefully. Second, even though you knew Zhang Yangzi was the core of your tactics, you gave him no protection at all, which led to your later predicament..."

Faced with Wu Changkong's reprimand, no one could refute him. Those were indeed the areas where they had failed.

Several dozen minutes later, Wu Changkong left the classroom with his lesson plans. The atmosphere in the classroom gradually livened up as well.

"Sigh! I thought the sun had risen in the west today, and Teacher Wu was actually praising us. Turns out I was still too naive."

Wang Jinxi wore a miserable expression. He had been the first to get excited just now, and Wu Changkong had criticized him until he was worthless.

His Dao Heart had nearly shattered. They had already been incredible yesterday, all right? Among people their age, he did not believe many could have done better than them.

"I heard from Director Long that Teacher Wu came from Shrek Academy, so his standards might be higher."

As Zhang Yangzi mentioned Shrek, there was a trace of longing in his heart.

Shrek Academy was the holy land every soul master dreamed of. Every generation of the Shrek Seven Devils consisted of the strongest figures of their era.

"Right! I recently discovered that cultivating together with Wulin actually strengthens my Martial Soul. Xie Xie, have you experienced that too?"

Wang Jinxi suddenly asked Xie Xie beside him. Like him, Xie Xie was also affected by Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw.

"No! You two get that effect? Do you need to take your clothes off?"

Xie Xie asked curiously. He had only seen men and women cultivating together in picture books. Could men do it too?

"What are you thinking about?"

Tang Wulin could no longer keep a straight face and smacked Xie Xie on the head from behind.

"Maybe it has to be beast Martial Souls. We'll have to ask Teacher Wu about it later!"

Wang Jinxi guessed. Beast Martial Souls affected a soul master's physical body and bloodline far more than other Martial Souls, so that might have been the reason.

"If your Martial Souls complement each other, your auras will gradually become similar over time. When that happens, Jinxi, will your Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Yangzi be affected?"

Lin Xuan offered a timely reminder. He seemed to remember that there really was such an effect.

However, this had both benefits and drawbacks. Wang Jinxi's own Martial Soul might advance further, but his original Martial Soul Fusion Skill might disappear. Then again, perhaps he and Tang Wulin might develop a Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the future.

Nothing was certain. It all depended on Wang Jinxi's own choice.

"Now that you mention it, that does seem possible... Come on, Yangzi, let's go test it out."

The smile vanished from Wang Jinxi's face as he pulled Zhang Yangzi outside.

Knock! Knock knock!

A series of knocks sounded, and Grandpa Zhang from the guardroom appeared at the door.

"Lin Xuan! Who's Lin Xuan? A little girl is looking for you at the School Gate!"

Grandpa Zhang called into the classroom, then turned and left.

"Ah?"

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. Somewhat baffled, he stood and headed toward the School Gate.

Who would come looking for me?

Could it be that Mu Chen needed something and sent Mu Xi to find me? But isn't Mu Xi from this school?

With those doubts, Lin Xuan arrived at the School Gate.

"Lin Xuan! Over here!"

The moment Lin Xuan stepped out of the gate, a young girl with blue twin ponytails by the roadside happily waved at him.

"Xu Xiaoyan!"

Lin Xuan looked at Xu Xiaoyan in surprise as he walked toward her.

"Why did you come looking for me?"

Lin Xuan asked as he approached.

Xu Xiaoyan wore a snow-white dress today, making her seem even more lively than before. The long hem trailed behind her like a mischievous fishtail, perfectly displaying the young girl's playful charm.

"Didn't I come to pay you? Hmph, today this young lady is taking you to collect your Mecha!"

Xu Xiaoyan patted her small chest and spoke proudly.

???

"You're really giving me one?"

Lin Xuan glanced at Xu Xiaoyan, clearly unconvinced.

"Of course! Would I lie to you? Come on, come on!"

Xu Xiaoyan glared at Lin Xuan indignantly, like an angry little pufferfish. She grabbed him and pulled him toward a Blue-Purple Sports Car parked ahead.

Pulling open the car door, Xu Xiaoyan shoved Lin Xuan inside, then sat down beside him.

"All right! Second Uncle, let's head out right away."

Xu Xiaoyan spoke to a Middle-aged Man in the front.

The Middle-aged Man turned around and smiled at Lin Xuan.

"What a coincidence. We meet again. I'm Xiaoyan's uncle, Xu Hao. I wonder if you still remember me. Thank you for taking care of Xiaoyan in the Spirit Ascension Platform!"

Xu Hao extended his hand gratefully.

When Xu Xiaoyan returned home, her family discovered that she had finally overcome the obstacle in her heart. They had practically wanted to set up dozens of banquet tables to celebrate.

As for giving Lin Xuan a Mecha, the Xu Family naturally had no objections. Besides, Xu Hao had made some private inquiries and discovered that Lin Xuan seemed to be a genius from Eastsea Academy's Zero Class.

The establishment of Zero Class had been approved by Eastsea City's upper ranks.

"Hello! I'm Lin Xuan!"

Lin Xuan shook the Middle-aged Man's outstretched hand, inwardly surprised as well. So this man was Xu Xiaoyan's uncle.

Xu Xiaoyan's family really did make Mechas!

Lin Xuan discreetly glanced at Xu Xiaoyan's delicate feet, tightly wrapped in blue-and-white stockings. At this moment, they seemed to possess a different sort of charm.

Those legs may be small, but they are exceptionally sturdy!
