Sacred Class

The Spirit Academy strength rankings were based on individual strength. There were no team battles; one could only rely on oneself. This gave Assault System and Control System soul masters a particular advantage. However, the Spirit Academy was filled with geniuses. Though those with exceptional talent could overpower the masses, winning first place for six consecutive terms was still incredibly difficult.

To achieve that, one had to reach the top of the rankings by the age of fourteen at the latest. Once they passed fourteen, they would never have another chance.

Thinking of this, Lu Leng suddenly saw Hu Liena in a new light. To claim first place for six consecutive terms in a place overflowing with geniuses was truly terrifying.

When he had read the original novel, he had thought Hu Liena was just a pretty face. She had been hyped up so much in the early stages, yet the moment she appeared, Tang San knocked her flat. In the later stages, it was even worse—she had no presence at all. Everyone else had become Titled Douluos or gods, while she was only in her seventies.

Now it seemed that it was not that Hu Liena was too weak. She had simply suffered a dimensionality-reduction strike.

"I never expected you to be this strong," Lu Leng could not help remarking.

"Strong?" Hu Liena was suddenly baffled by his words.

I'm strong? If I were strong, would I need you to save me?

If I were strong, then what would that make you? "If you want to show off your strength, there's no need to mock me like this, is there?" Hu Liena said unhappily.

She thought of what had happened in the Star Dou Forest. Lu Leng was indeed strong, but there was really no need for him to ridicule her like this.

"No, I mean it," Lu Leng said sincerely.

"You..." Hu Liena suddenly froze, because she realized Lu Leng did not seem to be lying. In his eyes, she did not see the usual disdain or arrogance. Instead, there was a trace of sincerity.

And within that sincerity, there even seemed to be a trace of admiration...

Admiration?

This Lu Leng actually admired her?

Hu Liena shuddered violently, clearly unwilling to believe it.

Yet the facts were right before her, and she had no choice but to believe.

What does he admire about me?

Is it because I'm taller than him? Prettier than him?

Hu Liena thought it over and over but could not figure out the reason. Still, no matter what, she was quite happy that Lu Leng's attitude toward her had changed.

Soon, it was noon. After lunch in the cafeteria, they arrived at the dormitories.

"This is your room. Sacred Class students all have private rooms."

Lu Leng glanced at the room number: 023.

It seemed there were not many students in the Sacred Class.

"Where do you live?" Lu Leng asked.

"007."

With that, Hu Liena pushed open the door to the room next door.

Lu Leng was dumbfounded. Whoever had assigned these room numbers was truly a genius. Next to 023 was 007—clearly, their math had been taught by the biology teacher.

Time passed quickly, and before long, it was evening. Hu Liena dutifully fulfilled her role as senior sister. After taking him to a different cafeteria for dinner, she escorted him back to the dormitory.

The next day, Lu Leng slept until he woke naturally. By the time he realized he was supposed to be in school, he was already nearly late.

Fortunately, he made it just in the final second.

However, the moment he stepped through the Sacred Class classroom door, everyone's gazes focused on him.

"Sorry, Teacher. I seem to be late." Stared at by everyone, Lu Leng looked somewhat awkward.

But the awkwardness on his face vanished without a trace the next moment, because the teacher in this classroom was an absolute beauty! She wore professional attire that perfectly outlined her exquisite figure, making her look incomparably sexy. Curves in all the right places, silky stockings wrapped around her jade-like feet, and a full bosom that seemed ready to burst free.

Hearing Lu Leng's voice, the beautiful teacher turned around.

Looking at her face, her red lips burned like fire, while her purple eyes rippled like spring water. She clearly had the appearance of a seductive temptress, yet at that moment she radiated an icy, peerless aura. It made people shiver without warning, while also creating a powerful sense of contradiction.

The ultimate fusion of seduction and an iceberg beauty.

"Little brother, I think you're not only late—you've come to the wrong classroom too, haven't you?" A golden-haired man in the classroom teased.

"Such a foolish child. I wonder what kind of parents could be cruel enough to throw him out."

"This isn't a place for you. Go home and find your mommy to drink milk."

"Hahaha!"

The classroom immediately erupted in laughter.

These Sacred Class students not only possessed high talent, but most also came from powerful backgrounds, so they spoke without restraint.

Hu Liena sat in the middle of the classroom, watching Lu Leng with a worried expression. Is it starting already?

He was only six years old. Strictly speaking, he was still just a child. Could he truly endure this kind of trial?

Would Teacher's actions destroy him?

Hu Liena's heart was filled with questions.

As Bibi Dong's disciple, she actually understood Bibi Dong's thoughts very clearly.

Lu Leng's talent was far too high. With twenty-first-level Innate Soul Power and a God-level Martial Soul, he had surpassed his peers from the very beginning and gained status and privileges ahead of time.

But correspondingly, this rapid surge in strength had also exposed his problems. The ease with which he had gained power had caused his heart to swell as well.

Within Spirit Hall, aside from Bibi Dong, he hardly regarded anyone else as worthy of notice.

He did whatever he wanted. Though he was not exactly unruly and arrogant, he was still exceedingly domineering, and almost no one dared tell him no.

Especially after obtaining his first Thousand-Year Soul Ring and second Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, his arrogance had become utterly boundless.

Looking down on others and being proud at heart were grave taboos in a soul master's cultivation! Bibi Dong had already noticed this when Lu Leng had nearly killed Yan for the first time.

He was only six, yet he already had such a personality. Once he truly grew up, would he not become completely lawless?

Bibi Dong was worried, so she sent Lu Leng into the Sacred Class, hoping this would make him restrain himself somewhat. Moreover, the Sacred Class was the only place she could send him. Sending him to any other class would have been useless.

The Sacred Class was full of geniuses. Bibi Dong hoped Lu Leng would come to understand that there were always greater people beyond people and greater heavens beyond heavens, allowing him to see himself clearly. That way, Lu Leng would become even stronger.

But Bibi Dong was also worried that if Lu Leng could not withstand such a blow, gave up on himself, and headed down a doomed path, it would do more harm than good.

In the end, however, Bibi Dong still decided to send him into the Sacred Class.

She would rather have a clear-minded person than a crazed demon! This would be a trial, but for Lu Leng, it would also be an opportunity.

Lu Leng knew nothing of any of this. Nor would he know that it was precisely because of that hot pot meal on Qixi Festival, that cup of milk tea in autumn, and all those everyday moments... that Bibi Dong had made such a decision.

Because in truth, the very first time Bibi Dong saw Lu Leng, she had intended to raise him into an emotionless dead warrior who would obey only her commands and clear away every obstacle for her ambitions!
