Gu Yue Enrolls (Seeking Investment! Seeking Monthly Ticket! Seeking Recommendation Ticket!)

In Class One's classroom, Ye Yingluo was teaching theoretical knowledge about martial souls.

Jing Shaoyu sat by the window, watching outside with some boredom. It was not that Ye Yingluo's teaching was poor; it was mainly because he already knew everything she was teaching, making the lesson utterly uninteresting to him.

Suddenly, his body jolted, and his eyes widened involuntarily.

Who did he see? The girl from East Sea Park last night! Sure enough, she really was Gu Yue!

A faint sense of helplessness welled up in his heart, immediately followed by a blazing ambition and fighting spirit that filled him completely.

Now, Jing Shaoyu's mind was even less focused on class.

Meanwhile, on the training field, Xie Xie had been called over by Wu Zhangkong. He was rather confused, and after seeing the unfamiliar girl standing before Wu Zhangkong, he became even more puzzled.

"I'll give you a chance. Defeat her, and you won't have to run this morning," Wu Zhangkong said dismissively.

"No problem!" Xie Xie's eyes immediately lit up.

"I'll give you twenty minutes to rest. The match starts in twenty minutes!" Wu Zhangkong said. "Yes!" Xie Xie replied. He promptly sat down where he was, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and began meditating to recover.

Gu Yue looked around the academy, seemingly interested in everything, yet she never once glanced at Xie Xie, as though he was not the one she would soon be fighting.

Wu Zhangkong glanced at her. "Looking down on your opponent is a very unwise thing to do."

"I'm not looking down on my opponent," Gu Yue answered calmly. Though she said that, her behavior made it seem more like Xie Xie was not even worth her disdain.

Wu Zhangkong said nothing more and continued watching the other students who were running. Gu Yue's gaze also fell on the Class Five students running nearby. She noticed Tang Wulin at the front, and a trace of coldness flashed deep within her eyes before she shifted her gaze toward the school building on the other side.

Tang Wulin, who was running, felt an inexplicable chill, but he did not think much of it. He merely looked over curiously. Why had Teacher Wu called Xie Xie over? And what was up with that girl? She looked so cold and aloof.

Class One's classroom was on the first floor of the school building, very close to the training field. Thus, when Gu Yue looked in that direction, she immediately spotted Jing Shaoyu sitting by the window. A faint hint of delight flashed through her eyes.

Twenty minutes passed in an instant. Xie Xie sprang to his feet and stretched his limbs, looking eager to give it a try.

"Thirty meters apart!" Wu Zhangkong nodded and said.

The two retreated in opposite directions until thirty meters separated them. Gu Yue withdrew her gaze and looked at Xie Xie expressionlessly. Xie Xie, on the other hand, wore an excited expression. Once he beat this girl, he would not have to run, and he could show off in front of Tang Wulin. Hehe, awesome!

"Begin!" Wu Zhangkong shouted simply.

Xie Xie immediately released his martial soul. His speed surged to its limit, a yellow Soul Ring floating behind him as he gripped a Light Dragon Dagger and charged toward Gu Yue. His explosive power was impressive. Like an agile hunting leopard, he rapidly closed the thirty-meter gap.

Gu Yue's reaction was unhurried. When Xie Xie was less than ten meters away, she casually raised her hand. Two yellow Soul Rings bloomed beneath her feet, making Xie Xie's pupils contract sharply and even catching Wu Zhangkong slightly by surprise.

Xie Xie was startled by Gu Yue's strength, but he was not afraid in the slightest. The Light Dragon Dagger in his hand let out a clear ring, and he appeared before Gu Yue in an instant. He swung fiercely, stabbing toward her shoulder.

Just as the Light Dragon Dagger was about to pierce Gu Yue, a ball of azure light blossomed from her body. A gust of wind immediately rose and struck Xie Xie from the side, making him feel a tremendous force shove against him. His body tilted, and the Light Dragon Dagger veered away from its target with him.

Gu Yue's counterattack did not end there. Fireballs, ice cones, and beams of light shot from her hand in succession. The dazzling variety of elemental abilities left Xie Xie overwhelmed and unable to respond in time, while a glint of surprise appeared in Wu Zhangkong's eyes.

The result was obvious. With the strength of a Soul Grandmaster and control over six elements, Gu Yue easily defeated Xie Xie in less than a minute. The crushing defeat nearly shattered Xie Xie's resolve, and only Wu Zhangkong's cold snort snapped him back to his senses.

The Class Five students all stopped running in shock, still reeling from the battle they had just witnessed. It was terrifying—she had defeated Xie Xie in only one minute! Wasn't that far too terrifying? "What are you looking at? Have you finished running?" Wu Zhangkong shouted at the Class Five students. They immediately took off running again like startled rabbits.

"Alright. From now on, you are a member of Class Five. Now, begin physical training." Wu Zhangkong looked at Gu Yue with satisfaction, then shot Xie Xie a glance. "Xie Xie, you too!"

"Huh? Didn't you say I wouldn't have to run if I fought?" Xie Xie cried miserably.

"Did you win?" Wu Zhangkong said coldly.

"I..." Xie Xie dearly wanted to argue, but recalling his crushing defeat just now, he immediately lost his nerve. He drooped his head and dejectedly jogged toward the training field.

Seeing this, Gu Yue did not refuse either. With light steps, she joined the Class Five students.

Tang Wulin deliberately slowed down until he was level with Xie Xie and asked concernedly, "Xie Xie, are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Xie Xie answered gloomily. "I'm just annoyed. I've never lost so miserably before!"

"It's fine, it's fine!" Tang Wulin comforted him. "It's not like this is your first time. You'll get used to it!"

"You..." Tang Wulin's words nearly made Xie Xie spit blood. He looked at him indignantly. "Is that something a person would say? Is that how you comfort someone?"

"Ah! Hehe, I was just telling the truth." Tang Wulin flashed an innocent smile, but in Xie Xie's eyes, that smile looked incredibly evil.

As the two talked, Gu Yue ran past them expressionlessly. Watching her retreating back, they both froze, then looked at each other and said in unison, "So cold!"

This was no exaggeration. Gu Yue truly radiated an aloofness that warned strangers to stay away. Her face also carried an indifferent expression, causing those students in the class who wanted to approach her to withdraw awkwardly. Too cold—she really was too cold.

Soon, the morning classes ended.

"Tang Wulin, wait up!" Xie Xie caught up with Tang Wulin, who was about to head to the cafeteria for a meal.

"What is it? Are you treating me to a Grade A Meal again?" Tang Wulin's face lit up excitedly when he saw Xie Xie.

"All you know is eating!" Xie Xie rolled his eyes in irritation. "Don't you think that Gu Yue is strange?"

"You're still hung up on what happened earlier?" Tang Wulin wore a speechless expression. "She only beat you. There's no need to take it so personally, right?"

"Bullshit! Do I look like such a petty person?" Xie Xie immediately grew anxious. "I'm just worried about the Promotion Tournament. She's so strong—what if Teacher Wu has her take part in the Promotion Tournament? Wouldn't one of us get replaced?"

"Oh, right!" Tang Wulin suddenly understood. But then, a sympathetic expression appeared on his face. He patted Xie Xie on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Xie Xie. We can still win without you!"

"Huh?" Xie Xie froze at first, then immediately understood. He said with great dissatisfaction, "You're so sure that I'll be replaced instead of you?"

"Of course! Hehe, everyone in this class knows you can't beat me!" Tang Wulin said with a wide grin.

"You!" Xie Xie felt his mind go blank, not knowing how to refute him.

As the two bickered, a delicate yet handsome youth with an elegant, sunny disposition walked past them. Seeing him, Xie Xie blurted out, "Tang Wulin, did you see that guy? He's actually better-looking than you!"

"I saw him. I'm not blind." Tang Wulin rolled his eyes. "I think I've seen him before. Oh, right—when we were registering."

"Hey, hey, hey, look! He seems to know Gu Yue!" Xie Xie suddenly nudged Tang Wulin with his elbow excitedly. "That Gu Yue isn't expressionless? She actually smiled? My god, is this the advantage of being handsome?"

"Xie Xie, accept your fate. This is a world that judges by looks!" Tang Wulin suddenly placed both hands on Xie Xie's shoulders and consoled him with a serious, earnest expression, though his big eyes were full of amusement.

"Get lost!" Xie Xie slapped his hands away and snapped irritably, "I'm very confident in my looks!"

"Hahaha! Really?" Tang Wulin burst out laughing, then ran toward the cafeteria.

"Stop right there!" Feeling insulted, Xie Xie immediately chased after him.
