The First Day of Class

"Surprised?" Lu Yunxiao asked with a smile when he saw Xiao Yu's reaction.

"Of course I'm surprised!" Xiao Yu said repeatedly. "The Outer Court's number one genius is sitting right beside me. How could I not be surprised? What a coincidence—what kind of luck is this?"

Xiao Yu sighed in amazement. She had casually picked a seat, only to find that the person beside her was the legendary Lu Yunxiao. Her luck truly was unbelievable.

"I don't deserve the title of number one genius. Jia Nan Academy is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are still many senior brothers and sisters stronger than me."

Lu Yunxiao waved his hand, his expression humble.

Among Jia Nan Academy's older students, there should have been Da Dou Shi-level experts. Though he was confident, he knew he was not yet a match for a Da Dou Shi.

At the very least, he would need to break through to Dou Master before he might stand a chance against one.

One had to know one's own limits. Lu Yunxiao understood himself very clearly.

"Those senior brothers and sisters may be strong, but they've cultivated at the academy for several years already. I believe that if you're given some time, you'll definitely catch up to them."

Seeing Lu Yunxiao's humble demeanor, Xiao Yu's impression of him improved even further. Possessing astonishing talent without being arrogant was truly rare, and she could not help encouraging him.

"Then thank you for your kind words." Lu Yunxiao smiled faintly. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Mentor Ruolin entering the classroom. Seeing Xiao Yu about to speak again, he reminded her, "Mentor Ruolin is here."

Xiao Yu froze and looked up slightly. Sure enough, Mentor Ruolin had already stepped onto the podium. She nodded at Lu Yunxiao, then quietly turned her gaze toward the podium.

Mentor Ruolin's graceful figure appeared atop the podium. She wore Jia Nan Academy's exclusive instructor uniform, her figure full and her bearing elegant. Every movement displayed the charm of a mature woman.

The moment Mentor Ruolin appeared, many of the male students in the classroom brightened up. Some even had looks of infatuation in their eyes. It was obvious that these students secretly admired Mentor Ruolin.

Sure enough, Mentor Ruolin's mature charm held great temptation for this group of young men around twenty years old.

Unlike him. Although he still looked somewhat youthful on the outside, his soul was already quite mature, and his life experience was fairly extensive. Though Mentor Ruolin was highly charming, she had little effect on him.

"Mentor Ruolin is very beautiful, isn't she?" Xiao Yu's faint voice suddenly came from beside Lu Yunxiao.

"She really is quite beautiful. I see that many senior brothers have fallen for her charm."

Lu Yunxiao answered quietly.

"So has our little genius been moved as well?" Xiao Yu teased in a soft voice.

"What are you saying? Mentor Ruolin is only my mentor." Lu Yunxiao shook his head, his tone firm.

He believed that if he were willing to pursue her actively, Mentor Ruolin definitely would not be able to escape his grasp. He had that confidence.

Leaving aside his temperament, appearance, talent, and strength, he possessed a unique aura. It made people unconsciously want to draw close to him and feel intimate with him.

That aura was the unique Innate Dao Charm of the Innate Elemental Physique.

Ever since the Innate Elemental Physique had unlocked the Gold Element, its unique Innate Dao Charm had been unlocked as well.

Before it was unlocked, only exceptionally gifted people with astonishing bloodlines like Xiao Xun'er, as well as other powerful experts, could sense it. After it was unlocked, even ordinary cultivators could sense it.

Moreover, the longer someone spent with Lu Yunxiao, the closer they would feel to him. If he pursued Mentor Ruolin, given enough time and combined with his own excellence, winning the Beauty's heart would be no difficult task.

But there was no need for that. He would not provoke a woman he did not truly like from the bottom of his heart. So far, the only one he had fallen for at first sight was Yun Yun.

Hearing Lu Yunxiao's resolute tone, Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback. Then she covered her mouth and smiled. It was her first time seeing a male student who completely ignored Mentor Ruolin's charm. It was truly amusing.

The two whispered to each other below, and Mentor Ruolin saw it all clearly from the podium. Her pretty face immediately darkened slightly.

She had originally wanted to introduce the two of them to each other, but she had not expected them to sit together on their own. And on his first day of class, this little Lu Yunxiao actually dared to chat right in front of her. He was truly bold.

"Ahem!" Mentor Ruolin coughed, drawing the entire class's attention to herself.

"A new semester has begun, and Yellow Class Two has welcomed twelve new students. To help you integrate into our Yellow Class Two family, the new students should introduce yourselves. Let's welcome them with applause."

As Ruolin's words fell, a burst of applause immediately rang out.

"This student, you'll go first." Mentor Ruolin casually pointed at a student. By coincidence, that student was Zhang Yun.

Having been called on, Zhang Yun immediately stood up.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Zhang Yun. I'm nineteen this year, from Mo City in the Jia Ma Empire, and I'm a One-Star Dou Zhe."

Zhang Yun spoke softly, looking somewhat restrained. Having just arrived, it was inevitable that he still felt a little unaccustomed.

"A One-Star Dou Zhe!"

Zhang Yun's words caused a small stir. Being a One-Star Dou Zhe upon enrollment meant his talent was already quite good, exceeding that of most Yellow Class Two students.

"Very good, Student Zhang Yun. Please sit down. This student, your turn."

Mentor Ruolin smiled, gestured for Zhang Yun to sit, then casually selected another person.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Li Hang. I'm eighteen this year, from Mo City in the Jia Ma Empire, and I'm currently at the eighth stage of Dou Qi."

The new students introduced themselves one after another. Before long, the first eleven new students had all finished.

A faint smile rested on Mentor Ruolin's lips as her bright, gentle eyes looked at Lu Yunxiao. "What is it, Student Yunxiao? Do you still need your mentor to call on you?"

Lu Yunxiao smiled faintly and stood up. A carefree, tranquil aura radiated from him, causing many female students' eyes to light up and their hearts to race.

Under everyone's gaze, the corners of Lu Yunxiao's lips lifted slightly as he spoke softly, "Hello, senior brothers and sisters. My name is Lu Yunxiao. I'm fourteen this year, from the Jia Ma Empire, and I'm currently a Seven-Star Dou Zhe."

Whoosh!

His words stirred up a thousand waves!

The moment Lu Yunxiao spoke, he shocked the entire class. Aside from the few who already knew, all the other older students were stunned. So this was the famous new student Lu Yunxiao rumored throughout the academy?

Wasn't Lu Yunxiao supposed to be a Six-Star Dou Practitioner? How was he now a Seven-Star Dou Zhe? Had this guy broken through again?

And he was only fourteen. A fourteen-year-old Seven-Star Dou Zhe—was he even human?

The older students could not help feeling deeply shaken.

After all, when the academy rumors had spread wildly, they had never mentioned Lu Yunxiao's age. They had assumed he was at least fifteen or sixteen. Who would have thought he was only fourteen? It was truly unbelievable.

One chapter at noon and two in the afternoon—three updates today!
