Hu Liena climbed out of bed, her face still pale with lingering terror, crystal tears hanging from her cheeks.
Just moments ago, she had watched with her own eyes as her teacher, Bibi Dong, crushed the heart of Tang Yin, the man she loved, with her own hand. Then, she felt sweetness rise in her throat, spat out a mouthful of blood, and lost consciousness.
At that moment, the other girl in the dormitory could no longer stand it.
"Na Na, it's the middle of the night. What are you screaming for? Keep making noise and get out!"
"Zhang Ping, you... why are you here?"
Hu Liena remembered clearly that Zhang Ping had been her teammate when they participated in the Soul Master Competition. It was precisely because they had lost to Tang San in that competition, leaving her deeply unwilling to accept it, that she encountered Tang San again in the City of Slaughter. Besides, hadn't Zhang Ping been killed by the Tang Family Army using Zhuge Repeating Crossbows? How could she be here now?
Still shaken, Hu Liena looked around at her surroundings. Wasn't this the dormitory where she had lived while attending Spirit Hall Academy?
Hu Liena blankly looked down at her hands.
"Huh! Why have my hands become so small?"
Hu Liena pinched her own cheek.
"Ah! That hurts. This isn't a dream."
Hu Liena touched her body again. It was completely unharmed.
"No, wait. Why has the Panda I raised become so small?"
Hu Liena threw off the blankets and rushed into the bathroom, staring at herself in the mirror.
"This, this... isn't this what I looked like when I was eleven?"
A thought immediately sprang into Hu Liena's mind.
Could it be that she had been reincarnated?
Hu Liena fiercely knocked on her own head and tried hard to recall everything. In her previous life, her spiritual power had been immense, so she remembered certain things especially clearly.
She was now eleven and a half years old. She was six years older than Tang San, which meant Tang San was only five and a half now. Tang San had not become a god yet, and his heart had not been crushed by her teacher. There was still time for everything.
Could it be that heaven had pitied her and given her another chance?
Still unsettled, Hu Liena returned to her bed.
She glanced at the calendar. Tomorrow was the academy ranking tournament.
In her previous life, she had taken first place in the ranking tournament, which was why her teacher had accepted her as a disciple.
She had even broken through to become a Soul King at the age of twenty. Her teacher had disregarded all opposition and placed her in the position of Saintess. With the experience from her previous life, there would be no bottlenecks this time. She had to cultivate even harder in this life and become the Saintess. That way, she could use the conveniences of that position to perhaps find Tang San earlier and quietly support his cultivation. Then, wouldn't she be the one by his side in the end?
Hu Liena! Hu Liena, how could you be so clever?
Thinking about it, her teacher had ultimately killed Tang San in her previous life. Without a god-level expert, the Two Great Empires should have perished when facing her teacher and Qian Renxue, two god-level experts. Spirit Hall should have won!
Since Spirit Hall would unify the continent in the end anyway, rescuing one Tang San shouldn't make any difference, right?
With that, Hu Liena waited excitedly for the next day's ranking tournament.
Meanwhile, in the boys' dormitory of Spirit Hall Academy.
Xie Yue and Yan climbed out of bed at nearly the same moment.
Both were drenched in cold sweat as they roared, "Tang San!"
Seeing the abnormality in each other, they exchanged a glance, leaped out of bed, and fiercely embraced.
"Wonderful, brother! Yan/Xie Yue, you're still alive!"
Xie Yue had not forgotten how Tang San had pursued them back then. Yan had detonated himself just to buy him time to escape, yet Yan had been directly killed by Tang San with divine power.
Now that he saw the other standing right before him, how could he not be excited?
Having both noticed something strange about the other, they cautiously asked at the same time:
"Xie Yue/Yan, could it be that you too?"
"That's right, me too!"
The two stared at each other, then burst into hearty laughter.
As they laughed, Yan suddenly turned to Xie Yue and asked:
"By the way, Xie Yue, how did you die?"
"After you left, Tang San killed me with divine power too."
Yan gritted his teeth in fury, punched the wall hard, and said indignantly:
"That bastard Tang San! This time, I, Yan, will make him wish he were dead!"
"When you died, did you notice anything unusual?"
Xie Yue lowered his head and thought for a while, then brought his fists together.
"I remember now. Just as I was dying, a silver light suddenly flashed across the sky. Then Tang San killed me."
"Same here. Before I died, I suddenly saw a silver light flash in the sky. Then when I woke up, I was here."
Xie Yue nodded at this, raised an eyebrow, and stared into Yan's eyes.
"I see. Then do you still like Na Na?"
"Whether in the past, the present, or the future, I have always loved Na Na. My love for her has never changed!"
Xie Yue shook his head with an exasperated look.
"Now that both of us have been reincarnated, is it possible that Na Na was reincarnated too? If that's the case, do you still love her?"
Yan's eyes grew lost as he stared at the sky and quietly uttered a few words:
"I do. How could I not? I understand what you mean, and I understand what Na Na will do in the future."
Yan suddenly smiled, but that smile looked incomparably bleak.
"Since you know what will happen in the future, what do you plan to do? Are you still going to keep waiting? Wait until Spirit Hall is destroyed once again?"
"How could that be? Since we know what will happen in the future, then we must cultivate even harder until we possess the ability to change everything! That is: 'becoming gods'!"
Yan gave a self-mocking smile.
"Become gods? Do you think the two of us will have such an opportunity?"
Xie Yue grabbed Yan by the collar and roared at him:
"Why not? Why can't we become gods? That dog could become a god, so why can't we? Even if the chance is slim, we must try at least once. That dog could become a god, so why can't we?
"Actually, there is an even simpler method. With the strength of the two of us, we could definitely accomplish it then!"
Yan immediately became interested and emerged from his previous dejection.
"Quick, tell me. What method?"
Xie Yue fell silent for a moment before saying:
"Kill that dog Tang San in advance!"
