Class 1 Class Monitor (Seeking Investment! Seeking Monthly Ticket! Seeking Recommendation Ticket!)

"Little Yu Brother, you're cheating!" Xu Xiaoyan cried unhappily when she saw Jing Shaoyu take flight. Her bright eyes widened, the picture of someone who was angry.

"Haha, how is that cheating?" Jing Shaoyu said with a laugh. "Flying is one of my abilities to begin with!"

"Hmph!" Xu Xiaoyan gave a delicate snort and immediately raised the Star Wheel Ice Staff in her hand. An Ice Spear condensed and shot toward Jing Shaoyu.

"Haha, Xiaoyan, you've lost!" Jing Shaoyu chuckled. He controlled his wings and tilted sideways to dodge the Ice Spear, then waved his hand. Green points of light scattered down as several stalks of Blue Silver Grass burst from the ground and charged at Xu Xiaoyan together.

"I surrender!" Xu Xiaoyan immediately shouted as she watched the Blue Silver Grass rushing toward her.

Hearing Xu Xiaoyan concede, Jing Shaoyu naturally stopped attacking. The Blue Silver Grass slowly withdrew as well. He landed beside her, reached out to pat her little head, and said, "It's fine. There's nothing shameful about losing to me. Didn't the three of them lose too?"

Zhang Yangzi and the other two, who had been singled out, couldn't help rolling their eyes, but they had no strength to refute him.

"Hmph!" Xu Xiaoyan snorted delicately. "If it were nighttime, Little Yu Brother, you definitely wouldn't be able to beat me!"

"Yes, yes, Xiaoyan is the strongest at night!" Jing Shaoyu could not help laughing as he pinched the girl's cheek.

Xu Xiaoyan's Star Wheel Ice Staff Martial Soul was extremely special. During the day, it was merely an ordinary Ice Staff Martial Soul. But at night, a special star wheel would emerge from her Martial Soul, transforming it into the Star Wheel Ice Staff. It possessed the unique Star Aspect Attribute, and both of her soul skills would undergo earth-shaking changes.

It was said that the star wheel represented an ancestral reversion of Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul. The Xu Family of Eastsea City was supposedly a branch of the Xu imperial family of the Xu Dynasty in the Star Luo Empire ten thousand years ago. After ten thousand years of changes, they had settled in Eastsea City, and their Martial Souls had changed from the original Star Crown into the Ice Staff of today—a phoenix reduced to a chicken.

However, Xu Xiaoyan's appearance gave the Xu Family hope. Her Martial Soul was the Star Wheel Ice Staff, something that had never appeared in the Xu Family before. In the future, it had a strong chance of evolving into a true Star Staff Martial Soul. Even if it could not compare with the Star Crown Martial Soul then, it certainly would not be far behind!

Jing Shaoyu, who knew the future, was well aware that Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul would indeed evolve into the Star Staff Martial Soul. With its unique Star Aspect Attribute, she would come to be known as the "Number One Control Under the Stars."

"Good!" Seeing that Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan had determined the winner, Ye Yingluo immediately said, "In that case, I announce that Jing Shaoyu will serve as our Class 1 Class Monitor. No one has any objections, right?"

"No!" the cadets answered in unison.

Everyone had witnessed Jing Shaoyu's strength firsthand. Though he was a Healer Soul Master, he had defeated four Soul Grand Masters from the Agility-Attack, Assault, and control types in a row. Who would dare say that he was unqualified? "Very good. Return to the classroom now!" Ye Yingluo said with satisfaction.

After returning to the classroom, Ye Yingluo stood at the podium and began giving her concluding remarks.

"Overall, I'm fairly satisfied with everyone's performance in the battle just now." She first gave them affirmation, but then her tone shifted. "However, some students performed rather poorly. I won't name them one by one. You know where your own problems lie!"

As Ye Yingluo spoke, her beautiful eyes swept over some of the cadets below. Those who met her gaze unconsciously lowered their heads, including Wang Jinxi and Wei Xiaofeng.

"That concludes the morning classes. We'll have theory class this afternoon," Ye Yingluo said. "Starting today, all cadets must follow the academy's regulations. Unless it is a rest day, you are not allowed to leave the academy without permission. Understood?"

"Understood!"

"Additionally, there is one more matter." Ye Yingluo's smile vanished, and her expression turned serious. A trace of obsession flashed through her beautiful eyes as she said, "According to academy policy, a Promotion Tournament will be held three months after the start of the new term. As the name suggests, the classes with higher numbers in each year challenge the classes with lower numbers.

"For example, in our Freshman First Year, Class Five challenges Class Four first, and so on. If the challenger wins, the class numbers will be swapped. As Freshman Class One, we will only be challenged by the classes behind us.

"You should all know that the lower a class's number is, the better the resources and treatment it receives. So, to protect the honor of our Freshman Class One, and for everyone's individual interests, I hope you will keep Jing Shaoyu's Martial Soul abilities confidential for now and use them as our class's secret weapon!"

"Yes, Teacher Ye!" the cadets answered in unison.

"Very well, class dismissed!" Ye Yingluo said with satisfaction. She tucked her documents under her arm, swayed her waist, and left the classroom.

The cadets left one after another. Xu Xiaoyan skipped over to Jing Shaoyu and said sweetly, "Little Yu Brother, let's go! My brother said he's treating us to lunch today!"

"Are you sure Xiao Yu Ge said he was treating us to lunch?" Jing Shaoyu asked skeptically.

"Hehe, what's the difference?" The little girl flashed a playful smile and said coquettishly, "Anyway, my brother is paying. Come with me!"

"Alright." Jing Shaoyu agreed.

Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan arrived at the Senior Department cafeteria, where Xu Xiaoyu had already arrived. When he saw Xu Xiaoyan, his face was still beaming with a brilliant smile. But the instant he saw Jing Shaoyu beside her, his expression changed, and his smile disappeared.

"Brother, we're here!" Xu Xiaoyan did not notice the change in her brother's expression and asked happily, "What are you treating us to?"

"Xiao Yu Ge!" Jing Shaoyu greeted Xu Xiaoyu with a smile.

"Hehe, whatever you want to eat, we'll eat," Xu Xiaoyu said with a forced smile. "But there isn't much difference between the Senior Department cafeteria and the Intermediate Department cafeteria. I recommend the Grade A Meal. There are many varieties, it tastes good, and the ingredients are better too."

"Okay, okay! Then we'll have the Grade A Meal!" Xu Xiaoyan clapped her hands happily. "What do you think, Little Yu Brother?"

"Mm, I think the Grade A Meal sounds good." Jing Shaoyu tried his best not to look at Xu Xiaoyu's increasingly dark forehead, afraid that he would not be able to stop himself from laughing.

After choosing their dishes, they found a table and sat down. While waiting for the food, Xu Xiaoyan excitedly told Xu Xiaoyu about the Class Monitor Selection Competition that morning. The happier she spoke, the worse Xu Xiaoyu's mood became, and the more Jing Shaoyu wanted to laugh.

"Oh! What a coincidence, Xiaoyan and A Yu!" Just as Xu Xiaoyu was nearly suffering internal injuries from holding it in, Ouyang Zixin walked over while holding the hand of a girl with a golden ponytail. She deliberately ignored Xu Xiaoyu, clearly still angry over what he had done last night.

"Zixin!" Xu Xiaoyan stood up happily when she saw Ouyang Zixin and invited her, "Come join us! My brother is treating us!"

"Is that so?" Ouyang Zixin glanced at the expressionless Xu Xiaoyu. Seeing that he had not even looked at her, she immediately gritted her teeth lightly and said, "Forget it. I already have plans today, right, Xi Xi?"

"Do we?" The golden-ponytailed girl was staring intently at Jing Shaoyu and asked dazedly. But when she felt Ouyang Zixin pinch her hard, she immediately came to her senses. "Ah, right, we have plans."

"Alright," Xu Xiaoyan said somewhat disappointedly.

"Then we'll be going first, Xiaoyan, A Yu. Enjoy your meal!" Ouyang Zixin quickly pulled away the somewhat reluctant golden-haired ponytailed girl.

Watching Ouyang Zixin's departing back, Xu Xiaoyan was still confused. "How strange. It feels like Zixin is acting a little weird today, as if she's upset with someone! What do you think, Little Yu Brother?"

"Uh, hehe, perhaps!" What could Jing Shaoyu say when he knew the truth? He could only force an awkward smile and give an ambiguous answer.

Xu Xiaoyu, who sat across from them, was feeling exceptionally conflicted. Quite a few wrinkles had appeared on his forehead.

A while later, all the dishes they had ordered arrived, and they began eating. Mostly, Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan ate, while Xu Xiaoyu seemed to have little appetite and ate very little.

After lunch, Xu Xiaoyan bid Xu Xiaoyu farewell and pulled Jing Shaoyu toward the academy garden for a walk to aid digestion. This made Xu Xiaoyu feel even more stifled.

That afternoon, during theory class, Ye Yingluo taught them an entirely new meditation method, said to be the latest research result of the Sun Moon Federation. Jing Shaoyu gave it a try. Mm, it was indeed much more advanced than the meditation method he had learned at Xuan Kong Academy.

However, it still could not compare to the meditation method—or rather, the circulation route—innately possessed by the Origin Spirit Martial Soul.
