Gu Yue Na Daydreaming in Class

Lu Jun calmly withdrew his gaze, ignoring Long Chen's provocation.

It was simple. Would he really get worked up with a child?

Almost everyone here was around nine years old.

No matter how precocious they were, they were still children at heart.

To Lu Jun, who had lived two lifetimes, this was practically child's play.

So Lu Jun simply chose to ignore him.

Still... the name Long Chen did sound quite familiar to him.

"Is he the Captain with the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul whom Tang Wulin came to Mingdu to spar with in the original story?"

"Too bad Tang Wulin will crush him five years from now."

"The Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul really is top-tier, but against the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, it'll still get wrecked."

Lu Jun sighed inwardly, and the look he gave Long Chen grew even more pitying.

In this era, having a top-tier Beast Martial Soul could actually be a kind of suffering.

Fortunately, he did not have one.

However, Lu Jun's attitude only made Long Chen even angrier.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Long Chen slammed his hand on the desk and shot to his feet, drawing the entire class's attention. "Look at people when they're talking to you, damn it!"

The Homeroom Teacher immediately frowned and rebuked him.

"Long Chen, sit down. It's class time."

Gu Yue Na merely glanced sideways at Long Chen, her cold eyes sweeping over him.

In that instant, Long Chen felt as though some ancient ferocious beast had fixed its gaze on him. Cold sweat instantly soaked his back, and he involuntarily collapsed back into his seat.

The suppression of Martial Souls was displayed to the fullest at that moment.

"Hmph." Gu Yue Na gave a soft snort.

Lu Jun lowered his voice. "Thanks."

"No need." Gu Yue Na spoke casually. "I just found him noisy."

The first class was theory, introducing the types of Spirit Beasts in the Spirit Ascension Platform. It was meant to familiarize them with the Spirit Ascension Platform in advance so they could survive there more easily.

Gu Yue Na found it boring. As the renowned Silver Dragon King, she had long since become intimately familiar with this knowledge.

Why would she need some insignificant human to teach her how to cultivate?

And so, right under the teacher's nose, Gu Yue Na secretly used her Spiritual Power to conceal the fact that she was spacing out.

She even propped up a book in front of herself as a shield.

Lu Jun, sitting beside her with one hand supporting his cheek, caught sight of what Gu Yue Na was doing from the corner of his eye. His mouth twitched, and he suddenly lost all interest in the lesson.

That was because she had propped up a Spirit Beast Illustrated Guide in front of herself, but tucked between its pages was a Human Desserts Compendium, which she was reading with great relish.

Desserts?

This Silver Dragon King was really taking it easy.

Lu Jun could not help but comment inwardly.

She doesn't seem to carry the same deep racial hatred as she did in the original story. She even has time to read a desserts compendium?

Could it be that she isn't making arrangements for her grand plan?

The moment Lu Jun thought of Gu Yue Na's plan, he recalled her outrageous maneuver of splitting off her own personality.

His thoughts gradually drifted farther away.

Gu Yue Na turned another page of the dessert book. When her beautiful eyes landed on a picture of a cake, they visibly lit up.

Lu Jun came back to himself and expressionlessly scribbled a line on his notebook before quietly pushing it toward Gu Yue Na.

"Do you like desserts? Also, spacing out in class isn't what a good student does."

Gu Yue Na glanced at it and wrote a reply without changing her expression.

"Better than listening to nonsense."

Lu Jun raised an eyebrow and continued writing.

"By the way, I've been too busy this past month. I had to cultivate on schedule every day and run all over the place, so I didn't have time to treat you to a meal. I owe you one."

"I'll treat you at the cafeteria later. Eat whatever you want. It'd be even better if they have desserts."

"Order anything you like. I have plenty of money now, anyway."

"..."

Gu Yue Na's pen paused for a moment, leaving a tiny ink dot on the paper. Then she slowly wrote:

"Okay."

Afterward, Gu Yue Na closed the Human Desserts Compendium and casually stuffed it back into her desk. At last, she put on an attentive expression as though she were seriously listening to the lesson.

Though her gaze still drifted toward the window.

Lu Jun shook his head inwardly.

Just then, a small note flew over from the front row and landed precisely on Lu Jun's desk. He unfolded it and saw:

"Hello, Lu Jun! I'm the vice class monitor. May I ask you a few cultivation questions after class? (^▽^)"

There was even a cute little heart drawn afterward.

Lu Jun looked up and saw an adorable girl with a ponytail in the front row secretly looking back at him. The moment she noticed he had seen her, she immediately blushed and turned away.

"This..."

The corners of Lu Jun's lips rose slightly of their own accord.

Fine. Experiencing this rare youthful academy life made even his corpse feel warmer.

Getting to experience his youth once more was not so bad after all.

He was considering how to reply and how to tease the little girl when he suddenly felt the temperature beside him plummet.

At some point, Gu Yue Na had turned her head and was coldly staring at the note.

"...?"

What was she doing now?

Lu Jun was baffled.

After class, the atmosphere in the classroom became subtly different due to the arrival of Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na, the two transfer students.

At the front, several girls could not help secretly turning back to look at them as they whispered among themselves.

"That girl is so pretty, but she looks so hard to approach."

"The boy is really handsome too! But why does he seem even colder than the girl?"

"Could they know each other? Their auras somehow seem to fit together..."

Meanwhile, most of the boys were staring at Gu Yue Na, privately considering how to strike up a conversation with this aloof Goddess.

At that moment, the vice class monitor had already approached Lu Jun's desk with flushed cheeks and a bashful expression.

Several other adorable girls had come with her as well.

"Um..." The girl wearing a bow gathered her courage and spoke. "Lu Jun, y-you look really amazing. Could you tell us your Soul Power Level?"

"Since you were able to transfer directly into Class One, you must be very strong, right?"

Surrounded by girls, Lu Jun blinked, unsure how to respond for a moment.

Fine.

This sort of thing really depended on looks.

Without good looks, there was no way to enjoy this kind of youthful life.

"I..." Lu Jun had just begun to speak when Long Chen, who sat in front of him, could no longer resist turning around.

"Class is finally over. You kicked me out of the Spirit Ascension Platform like that last time, and my Spirit Soul never even got to successfully evolve to the thousand-year level."

As he spoke, Long Chen glared viciously at Lu Jun.

"Tickets for the Spirit Ascension Platform during the Riot Period are expensive, yet you ruined it all, you bastard!"

"I only lost last time because I was careless. If you've got the guts, come to the Training Ground and spar with me again!"

The classroom instantly fell silent, and every student held their breath as they watched.

Even Gu Yue Na, who had remained indifferent until now, turned her head.

"..."

There are so many cute girls here, yet Long Chen completely ignores them and comes straight for me?

Kids really are kids.

Lu Jun sighed and slowly rose to his feet.

He stood half a head taller than a Beast Martial Soul Soul Master like Long Chen.

"Are you sure?"

Lu Jun spoke calmly.

"Level Thirty-One Soul Elder. Please advise."

"...Huh?"

Upon hearing those words, Long Chen's expression instantly froze.

When they met last time, Lu Jun seemed to have had only two Soul Rings.

How was he already a Three Ring Soul Elder now?

A Soul Elder the same age as him?

"Gasp..."

Hearing Lu Jun state his level, the entire class collectively sucked in a sharp breath.

A Level Thirty-One at nine years old?

That had already broken the Sun Moon Federation's record for the youngest Soul Elder!

Seeing Long Chen's face turn pale, Lu Jun did not forget to add:

"Do you still want to go to the Training Ground and have a spar with me?"
