After a long while, once they finally separated, Wu Xing saw Su Ruoxi blushing furiously with her head lowered, too afraid to look at him. A teasing smile appeared on his face again as he naturally wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
Everything happened so smoothly, as though it were only natural, enough to blind a whole crowd of single dogs at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
At the same time, Wu Xing raised his brows smugly and communicated with the Diary System in his mind. "You lousy system, take a look. Do I even need the things you gave me? When this love saint makes a move, success is guaranteed."
System: ...
Then why did you pick that thing back up just now?
After showing off to the system, Wu Xing refocused. He was not Liu Xiahui. If he did not make a move on such a beautiful woman, he would be letting down countless predecessors who had transmigrated, as well as all his dear readers. He reached out, held Su Ruoxi's chin, and gently lifted it.
Looking at the delicate beauty before him, a woman brimming with mature charm, he kissed her again.
This time, he did not want to stop there. His large hands began wandering restlessly, but just as he was about to slip beneath her collar and climb Mount Everest, Su Ruoxi stopped his wicked hand. Panting, she said, "Ben... Ben Yuan, no. We... we're moving too fast."
"How could it be too fast? I liked you from the very first time I saw you, Ruo Xi. You feel the same way too, right?" Wu Xing asked affectionately, then added, "Or do you not like me?"
"N-No... I... I didn't mean that." Seeing the sincerity in Wu Xing's expression, Su Ruoxi hurriedly shook her head.
"Then that settles it. Be good, listen to me, and leave everything to me," Wu Xing coaxed gently into her ear.
Upon hearing that, Su Ruoxi subconsciously let go of the hand she had been using to stop him...
Heaven Dou Royal Academy
The next day.
The sun slowly rose over the horizon, its warm rays shining upon Heaven Dou Royal Academy and displaying its grandeur and majesty.
Inside a dormitory room, Wu Xing woke from his sleep. Looking at Su Ruoxi, who was still asleep while tightly wrapped in his arms, a knowing smile appeared on his face.
Under his assault yesterday, Su Ruoxi, who had already been tempted, naturally failed to escape his clutches and became his woman, half-willing and half-reluctant.
What Wu Xing had not expected was that Su Ruoxi had actually been a virgin. He had assumed that since she had been so proactive, she was an experienced driver like him. He never imagined she was still untouched. While that surprised him greatly, it also slightly changed his original thoughts.
Originally, he had only intended to share a fleeting affair with her, but he could no longer think that way now. After all, men were possessive, especially when it came to a woman who had given her first time to them.
Although few people in the twenty-first century cared much about chastity anymore, and Wu Xing, who went with the flow, was no exception, who would not hope that his woman's first time was with him?
Thus, he no longer regarded her as someone to play around with. Instead, he saw her as his woman.
No wonder so many people online in his previous life had wanted to transmigrate back to ancient times and marry ancient beauties. Wu Xing now understood it deeply. In this regard alone, how many modern women could manage it?
As for why Su Ruoxi, despite it being her first time, had acted so proactively and even given herself to him, Wu Xing roughly understood the reason.
On Douluo Continent, strength was supreme. It was not strange for women to admire the strong. Even modern society was the same, except women admired money instead. The only difference was that the women of this world thought much like women in ancient times from his previous life.
Although Wu Xing could not yet be considered strong, he would definitely become strong in the future. After all, a level-thirty Soul Elder with three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings was an absolute miracle in the entire Soul Master world.
That alone was enough to attract women, not to mention his looks and temperament, which added countless points to his appeal.
Just think about it. In modern society, what girl would not be tempted by a wealthy and handsome man? If she was not proactive, other women would probably snatch him away first.
Wu Xing's situation was the same now. If Su Ruoxi did not act, she might have ended up with nothing if she waited too long.
Gently removing her hand from around his neck, Wu Xing carefully shifted Su Ruoxi off himself before stretching and getting out of bed.
His movements did not wake Su Ruoxi. Yesterday's fierce battle had exhausted her completely. Wu Xing was like a tireless bull, plowing an untouched field until it became extraordinarily fertile.
No matter how much noise he made, she probably would not wake until noon.
That was also due to Wu Xing's physical condition. It seemed this world truly was as fragile as people online had claimed.
After washing up, Wu Xing did not wake Su Ruoxi and left his room.
Yesterday, because he had followed Yu Feng to complete the enrollment procedures, he had not had time to familiarize himself with Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Today, he could finally take a proper look around.
"Brother Ben Yuan, you're up?" Wu Xing had not gone far from the dormitory when he ran into another student.
This student was a member of Heaven Dou Second Team named Zhan Minghui. The reason he called Wu Xing Brother Ben Yuan was not only because he had been impressed by Wu Xing's formidable strength, but also because Wu Xing was older than him.
"Morning, Minghui." Wu Xing smiled and greeted him.
Zhan Minghui smiled as well and asked, "Brother Ben Yuan, where are you going so early?"
Everyone had just returned to the academy from Sunset Forest and had three days off, so even the entire team did not need to gather early in the morning for classes or anything else.
"I'm planning to look around," Wu Xing answered casually.
"Oh?" Zhan Minghui's eyes lit up upon hearing that. He then said, "Want me to show you around the academy?"
"Sure." Without a second thought, Wu Xing accepted his kindness.
He was unfamiliar with the place and had come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for the first time. With a guide, he could quickly become familiar with the academy's atmosphere and surroundings.
As it turned out, Wu Xing felt that decision had been very wise during their stroll. Heaven Dou Royal Academy was simply enormous. If he had been alone, whether he would have gotten lost was another matter, but he definitely would have taken several unnecessary detours.
As Zhan Minghui introduced each place they passed, Wu Xing nodded from time to time. Along the way, he also noticed that many students were exceptionally friendly and actively greeted them. It was the complete opposite of how Shrek Academy had been treated when they first arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the anime.
Wu Xing understood why. Zhan Minghui could represent Heaven Dou Second Team in the Soul Master Academy tournament, making him quite a prominent figure in the academy. It was not strange for the students to greet him enthusiastically.
Guided by Zhan Minghui, Wu Xing toured most of the academy's buildings before heading toward the next location.
Soon, the two arrived at another important area of the academy. From afar, they could see a vast open field ahead, with circular platforms built from special stone blocks in its center.
Around one of the platforms, a large number of students had gathered. Various flashes of light could faintly be seen coming from the platform.
"Brother Ben Yuan, that's the arena where academy students spar and exchange pointers. Let's go take a look," Zhan Minghui said with a smile when he saw the crowd gathered in the distance.
"Mm." Wu Xing nodded. He also wanted to know how Heaven Dou Royal Academy trained its Soul Masters' practical combat abilities.
When they reached the spectators, Zhan Minghui's status in the academy came into play. The originally packed crowd instinctively made way for them.
Once they reached the front and saw the Soul Masters sparring on the arena, Wu Xing froze. Several Soul Masters were continuously releasing Soul Skills and fighting, but that was not what surprised him. The real reason was that he had spotted several familiar figures.
Dugu Yan in blue-green attire and Ye Lingling in silver clothing were both beauties who had left a deep impression on him when he watched the anime.
As for male students? Who watched anime for male students? Even the female characters had been ignored more than half the time by the deliberately framed shots of Xuanji Niangniang.
Seeing the Soul Masters on the arena, Zhan Minghui first showed surprise, then became delighted. He had not expected to encounter the academy's two most popular goddesses and Yu Tianheng, one of its strongest students, by such a coincidence today.
He had just wondered why so many people were gathered around. Under normal circumstances, such a scene would not have appeared. So it was the academy's strongest team sparring. That explained everything.
Suppressing his excitement, Zhan Minghui looked at Wu Xing beside him, intending to introduce the people on the arena. However, he discovered that Wu Xing was staring intently at the two goddesses, and he could not help laughing.
"Brother Ben Yuan, they're beautiful, right?" Zhan Minghui whispered with a knowing smile that any man would understand.
"What?" Wu Xing, who had been marveling at how small the world was, froze upon hearing Zhan Minghui's words. When he turned and saw the man's suggestive expression, he immediately understood and found it amusing.
Did this guy think he had been stunned silly by Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling?
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling
Beautiful women were still beautiful women and pleasing to the eye, but Wu Xing was not the type to forget how to walk whenever he saw one. Besides, after last night's release, he was currently in a sage-like state. There was even less chance of him being stunned by them.
The main reason was their Spirit Rings.
Judging from the timing of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, about three months had passed since their Soul Fight with Shrek Academy. If he remembered correctly, Dugu Yan's Soul Power Level had been level thirty-eight Soul Elder at the time.
It was not difficult to go from a level-thirty-eight Soul Elder to a level-forty Soul Ancestor in three months, but Ye Lingling was also a Soul Ancestor. That was rather intriguing.
He remembered that Ye Lingling had been a level-thirty-five Soul Elder. Rising five levels in three months? Based on the original work, there was no way she could have done that in such a short time. The only possibility was that she possessed a Diary Instance.
Only rewards from a Diary Instance could increase Soul Power so quickly.
Beyond that, what made Wu Xing even more certain that the two women were Diary Instance holders was their Spirit Rings. Both of their fourth rings were black!
Good lord, that lousy system really was generous. Yet it treated him like a miserly iron rooster and refused to give him a thing. Were they the hosts, or was he the Diary Owner?
Wu Xing seriously suspected that his rewards had been divided among all these beauties. Otherwise, what had the system even been giving him these past few days?
"Hehe, Brother Ben Yuan, don't feel embarrassed. There aren't many people in the academy who can resist their charm," Zhan Minghui said with a chuckle when he saw Wu Xing rolling his eyes. "But it's fine to think about it. They aren't women people like us can pursue."
"Oh?" Wu Xing raised a brow and asked curiously, "How so?"
"Look at their Spirit Rings. They're already Soul Ancestors. We're simply not from the same world." After explaining that, Zhan Minghui paused slightly, then pointed at Dugu Yan in the arena. "That goddess in blue-green is named Dugu Yan. Not only is she the strongest female Soul Master in our academy, but more importantly, her grandfather is famous throughout Douluo Continent. He is a Titled Douluo known as the Jade Scale Douluo."
"That impressive?" Wu Xing deliberately asked in surprise.
"Of course." Zhan Minghui nodded proudly, clearly enjoying Wu Xing's reaction. Then he continued, "The other goddess is our academy's strongest female support Soul Master. Her name is Ye Lingling, and her martial soul is the Nine Heart Begonia."
At that point, Zhan Minghui looked at Wu Xing solemnly. "Brother Ben Yuan, you know about the Nine Heart Begonia, right? Not many people may know this martial soul, but its healing ability is unmatched by any other martial soul. It would not be an exaggeration to say that with the Nine Heart Begonia supporting a team, dying is not easy even if they want to."
"Mm." Wu Xing nodded seriously and smiled. "No wonder you said that. We really aren't from the same world."
"Hehe." Zhan Minghui chuckled, then said, "Still, although the two goddesses are out of reach, Sister Ruo Xi isn't bad either. With your strength, Brother Ben Yuan, she should be well within your grasp."
Hearing Zhan Minghui mention Su Ruoxi, Wu Xing smiled slightly. This guy probably had no idea that she had already been thoroughly devoured by him last night and was still asleep.
Of course, he could only think that. He could not say it aloud.
After introducing the academy's two most popular goddesses, Zhan Minghui proceeded to introduce Yu Tianheng and the others. By the time he was done, the sparring in the arena had reached its final stage.
"Yanyan, Ling Ling, your strength has improved too quickly. Did Elder Dugu give you special training?" The battle ended, with Yu Tianheng and two teammates ultimately losing.
In Yu Tianheng's view, Dugu Yan had advanced to Soul Ancestor so quickly and even absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as her fourth ring because she had been unwilling to accept their defeat against Shrek Academy in Suotuo City three months ago. So she must have asked Poison Douluo to help draw out her potential.
Dugu Yan, dressed in a blue-green short skirt with short blue-green hair, withdrew her Soul Power and looked dashing and heroic. She did not explain much in response to Yu Tianheng's words, merely nodding slightly.
Her rapid improvement had not come from her grandfather, but from the rewards of the Diary Instance. However, due to some inexplicable rule, no one other than Ling Ling could see the diary, not even her grandfather, let alone Yu Tianheng.
"And Ling Ling, your strength has improved even faster than Yanyan's. How did you do it?" In truth, Ye Lingling was what shocked Yu Tianheng and the others most. A level-thirty-five Soul Elder rising five levels in three months was faster than a rocket.
Ye Lingling, dressed in a silver short skirt with silver hair, had a temperament completely unlike Dugu Yan's. She seemed graceful and elegant. Faced with her captain's question, she smiled faintly. "Yanyan and I both received Elder Dugu's guidance."
She could not speak of the Diary Instance. Even if she could, she would not. After discussing it with Dugu Yan, they had both settled on this excuse. Surely no one would personally go ask Elder Dugu.
Everyone sighed upon hearing that. Having a Titled Douluo for a grandfather really was nice. It was something they could only envy.
Yu Tianheng was a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and his grandfather was also a Titled Douluo. However, such a large clan required management. How could his grandfather have as much time as Elder Dugu to privately train him the way he trained Dugu Yan, an only granddaughter?
"The next time we meet those people from Shrek Academy, we'll definitely wash away our humiliation." After sighing, Yu Tianheng clenched his fists. Their defeat in the last Soul Fight had left him deeply unwilling to accept it.
Hearing Yu Tianheng's words, everyone tensed up, including Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. Dugu Yan even said, "We will. The Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is coming soon. We'll definitely succeed in getting our revenge."
Under Wu Xing's influence, Dugu Yan, who had already disliked Tang San, was now filled with disgust toward him.
"That's right." The others nodded heavily.
"Alright, let's head down. Training ends here for today." After the discussion, Yu Tianheng waved his hand as captain and called for his teammates to leave.
No one said anything further. They all turned to leave, but at the instant she turned around, Dugu Yan's heart stirred and her gaze landed somewhere below the arena.
"Yanyan?" Noticing Dugu Yan's behavior, Yu Tianheng and the others froze. Following her gaze, they saw Wu Xing among the spectators. A single thought immediately appeared in all their minds: What a handsome guy!
The surprise in Yu Tianheng's eyes vanished in an instant, and he frowned. "Yanyan, do you know that guy?"
"No." Dugu Yan shook her head.
"Then why..." Yu Tianheng asked. It was not jealousy. Although Wu Xing was excessively handsome, Dugu Yan was not the sort of girl who became infatuated whenever she saw a good-looking man.
Dugu Yan did not answer. Instead, she asked everyone, "That guy isn't a student of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, is he?"
"I haven't seen him before, so probably not." Yu Tianheng and the others shook their heads. If he were a student at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, with such handsome looks and outstanding temperament, they would have remembered him even if they did not know him. Yet after thinking hard, none of them could recall seeing him.
"He should be a student who joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy yesterday," Ye Lingling said while everyone was puzzled.
She had heard some news yesterday that a student had been exceptionally admitted into Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Seeing Zhan Minghui standing beside him now, this person was likely that student.
Dugu Yan's Challenge
"A student who joined the academy yesterday?"
Hearing Ye Lingling's words, Dugu Yan was slightly stunned. It was not currently the academy's enrollment period, yet he had been admitted exceptionally. Either he had a powerful background, or he was a genius.
And regardless of which it was, she became somewhat interested. Without another thought, she pointed at Wu Xing and said, "Hey, you there. What's your name?"
As Poison Douluo's granddaughter, with such a powerful backer behind her, Dugu Yan naturally had a somewhat forceful personality. Even at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she was no exception. Whenever something interested her, she always spoke directly.
Wu Xing had been planning to leave after seeing that the sparring had ended, but he suddenly saw Dugu Yan pointing at him from the arena. A trace of surprise rose in his heart. Just as he was about to answer, Zhan Minghui beside him spoke first.
"Student Dugu Yan, his name is Ben Yuan. You may not know this, but he joined the academy yesterday and is also a member of our team."
Zhan Minghui spoke with great respect. He was considered a prominent figure at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but among the geniuses of the First Team, he was completely insignificant.
"Zhan Minghui, did I ask you?" Dugu Yan said unhappily.
"Uh..." Zhan Minghui became somewhat embarrassed but did not dare say anything else. He had nearly forgotten that this goddess was not easy to get along with.
Dugu Yan withdrew her gaze and focused on Wu Xing again. "I'm asking you."
"Didn't he just say it?" Wu Xing answered helplessly as he watched Dugu Yan act so domineeringly.
