I Wish He'd Listen to Me Too

When Wujin turned around, Xia Yi, who was closest to him, saw the faint red glow flickering in his eyes.

Because the red glow was extremely faint and impossible to notice from even a slight distance, not even Wu Zhangkong, who possessed the Purple Demon Eye, had detected it. He had only noticed Wujin's Self-Created Soul Skill.

Of course, Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li was an exception. Her cultivation was far too high, and she had noticed the red glow in Wujin's eyes even before Xia Yi did.

"Evil Spirit Master?" Na'er's delicate brows rose, and her little face immediately turned serious. Clearly, she also knew how terrifying Evil Spirit Masters were. Still, she asked in confusion, "Isn't Wujin's Martial Soul the Snow Jade Lion? How could he possibly be an Evil Spirit Master?"

"I don't know what's going on either, but there truly is the power of an Evil Spirit Master within him," Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li said gravely.

"If he's an Evil Spirit Master, why not eliminate him directly?" Na'er's voice turned icy.

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li shook her head and smiled faintly. "It's true that he possesses the power of an Evil Spirit Master, but I can also see that he's doing everything he can to suppress it. That means he doesn't want to do evil either. Since that's the case, why not give him a chance? Perhaps one day, he may be able to completely suppress the Evil Spirit Master power inside him."

Although Evil Spirit Masters truly deserved death, Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li was kind by nature. She simply could not bring herself to kill a Soul Master who merely possessed the power of an Evil Spirit Master but had never committed evil.

"I see!" Na'er's voice carried some disappointment, but a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

"He's in the same school as Brother. He'll definitely become Brother's opponent in the future. On top of that, he's so strong. I have to eliminate him for Brother." Na'er secretly swore to herself. From beginning to end, she had never considered eliminating an Evil Spirit Master. She only wanted to remove a competitor for Tang Wulin.

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li probably would never have guessed what her goddaughter was thinking.

"It seems we'll have to stay in Eastsea City for a few days. I need to observe this Wujin and make sure he doesn't completely fall into becoming an Evil Spirit Master," Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li said solemnly. Although she had not acted against Wujin, she was still somewhat worried.

Wujin's talent was already terrifying. If he were to merge with the Evil Spirit Master power within him, it likely would not be long before the Soul Master world gained another Title Douluo-level Evil Spirit Master.

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li would never allow such a thing to happen.

All treatment at Eastsea Academy was allocated according to class. Take Zero Class, for example—every one of them had an independent dormitory.

First Class and Second Class had two-person dormitories, while third class through fifth class had four-person dormitories.

However, Wujin was an exception. Although his dormitory had two beds, one of them had always remained empty.

By the time Ye Yingluo brought Xia Yi to his dormitory, he was already meditating to regulate his breathing.

Strands of cold, sinister aura erupted from his body, making Xia Yi feel uncomfortable all over again.

"Good." Ye Yingluo looked at Wujin, who was regulating his breathing, and visibly sighed in relief. The situation was not too terrible yet.

"You don't have student registration yet, so stay here for tonight. Tomorrow, after I complete your enrollment procedures, I'll apply for another dormitory for you." Ye Yingluo kept her word. Since Wujin had voluntarily admitted defeat, Xia Yi had passed her assessment, and she would no longer make things difficult for him.

Furthermore, judging from his earlier exchange with Wujin, aside from having lower Soul Power, Xia Yi was not weak in other aspects.

"Why change dormitories? I think this room is pretty good." Xia Yi looked up at Wujin, filled with curiosity about him.

"Quite a few people in First Class have shared a dormitory with him before. Unfortunately, after staying just one night, every one of them applied to change dormitories," Ye Yingluo said blandly.

Whether in talent or cultivation, Wujin stood above everyone in First Class. Naturally, many students had been willing to share a dormitory with such a genius, hoping to receive his guidance.

Unfortunately, no one had been willing to spend two nights in the same dormitory as him.

"Why?" Xia Yi asked curiously.

"You'll know after tonight," Ye Yingluo said gravely.

Xia Yi nodded, then asked, "What exactly is going on with Wujin?"

Ye Yingluo shook her head. "I don't know either. I only know that there's a force within Wujin filled with deathly stillness and savagery. That power is constantly corroding his Spiritual World. He has to maintain sufficient Soul Power within his body to resist it. If not for that, did you really think you were his match?"

Xia Yi nodded without arguing. Indeed, whether it was Na'er or Wujin, both were far stronger than him.

Still, Xia Yi remained somewhat puzzled and asked, "Why can he use Soul Skills without Soul Rings?"

"That's a Self-Created Soul Skill. If your talent is truly extraordinary enough, you may also be able to create Soul Skills in the future that don't require Soul Rings to use." Ye Yingluo patiently explained. It was perfectly normal for someone Xia Yi's age not to know about Self-Created Soul Skills.

In fact, if not for Wujin, and for her specifically looking up relevant information, she would not have known about Self-Created Soul Skills either.

Ye Yingluo sighed softly. If the power within Wujin's body had not happened to erupt during the Class Advancement Tournament, preventing him from participating, then with his talent and strength, Wu Zhangkong's Zero Class might very well have been unable to defeat their First Class.

Still, that was for the best. Back then, because Wang Jinxi and Zhang Ziyang had revealed their talent, the academy had insisted on transferring Zhang Ziyang and Wang Jinxi into Zero Class.

It was precisely because Wujin had not acted at the time that he had remained in First Class.

Otherwise, given his talent, he likely would have been forced into Zero Class as well.

"All right, stay here for now. Wujin won't wake up until tomorrow morning. When the time comes, just go to school with him." Ye Yingluo spoke solemnly. Although she had agreed to let Xia Yi join First Class, the Academic Affairs Office did not know about it yet. She still needed to report it there.

After Ye Yingluo left, Xia Yi looked out the window and realized that the sky had gradually darkened.

Thinking back on everything that had happened today, Xia Yi felt as though it had all been a dream.

He had not expected so many things to happen on his very first day in the human world.

"It's time to break through to Rank Eleven Soul Power." Since there was no bedding yet, Xia Yi sat cross-legged on the bed. His battles with Na'er and Wujin had made him realize his lack of Soul Power, and he urgently wanted to improve it.

After glancing at Wujin, who was still meditating and regulating his breathing, Xia Yi slowly entered a meditative state as well.

He had been able to break through back in the Star Dou Forest. After delaying for so long, as long as he adjusted himself to his best condition, he could break through at any time.

As Xia Yi entered meditation as well, Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li slowly appeared inside Wujin's dormitory.

She did not act. She merely watched Wujin and Xia Yi in silence. She had to ensure that Wujin would not fall into becoming an Evil Spirit Master anytime soon before she could leave without worry.

Meanwhile, in the small courtyard in Eastsea City, Na'er looked coldly at Gu Yue and asked, "I want you to kill Xia Yi?"

Gu Yue looked at her as though she were an idiot and asked, "Why?"

"I know you sent Xia Yi to remind me not to forget my identity. But even if he acted under your orders, a mere Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast insulted the Master of Soul Beasts. No matter the reason, he deserves execution!" Na'er said coldly.

"I already told you, Xia Yi isn't a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast." Gu Yue shook her head and asked faintly, "Do you think a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast at the Soul Scholar level could escape the notice of the Holy Spirit Douluo?"

Na'er froze. Before reaching maturity, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could be seen through at a glance by a Title Douluo. As an incarnation of the Silver Dragon King, she understood this better than anyone.

Yet Xia Yi had not been recognized by Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li.

Still, she asked unwillingly, "If he isn't a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast, why would he listen to you?"

"Listen to me?" Gu Yue smiled self-mockingly, lowered her head, and murmured, "I wish he'd listen to me too."

Was Xia Yi a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast? Clearly not. At most, he was a Ten-Year Transformed Soul Beast.

Perhaps because Xia Yi had been forcibly transformed by the Plane Master, even Di Tian could not see through his identity as a Transformed Soul Beast.

Naturally, Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li could not see through it either.
