Lu Jun frowned slightly and quietly took half a step back, avoiding the two older girls. His gaze instinctively swept toward Gu Yue Na, only to find that things were just as lively over there.

A tall boy stood before Gu Yue Na and confidently extended his hand.

"Classmate, I'm Zhao Tianyu from Fourth Grade. My martial soul is the Thunder Battle Axe. I hope we can work well together in the competition."

Another boy wearing glasses adjusted his frames. His tone was gentle, yet faintly ingratiating.

"I'm Xu Ming, a Support System Soul Master. If you need it, my Soul Skills can provide you with buffs."

Gu Yue Na's Purple Eyes turned faintly cold. She did not even spare them a glance, merely giving a casual hum in response.

Her gaze passed over the two of them and landed directly on Lu Jun, who was surrounded by girls. An inexplicable irritation rose within her.

These people are so annoying!

Meanwhile, Long Chen, who had been ignored by everyone, was completely dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na, who were being fawned over like stars surrounded by the moon, then lowered his head to look at himself.

He was all alone. No one had come to talk to him at all.

He felt a cold breeze sweep past him, and the temperature in the Training Ground seemed to drop even lower.

Long Chen: "..."

Why is no one talking to me?!

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to make his presence known, but realized that no one was paying attention to him.

"Um... I'm also a team member..." he said weakly, raising his hand.

However, the only response he received was silence.

Long Chen: "..."

I suddenly really want to cry.

"Alright, alright, stop making things difficult for your classmate. You should know the academy has rules." Seeing Gu Yue Na's impatient expression and realizing she clearly had no interest in them, Xu Ming did not want to make a fool of himself and persuaded the others, "The academy clearly states that excessive harassment of female students and disrupting them will result in disciplinary action."

"You wouldn't want the academy to deduct points from your graduation assessment when you graduate, would you?"

"Ahem, that's true." Captain Zhao Tianyu understood this as well. "Then let's get familiar with each other's fighting styles first."

"After all, our opponents are Shrek Academy, the Continent's Number One Academy!"

"Our mission is to break their Undefeated Myth and let the world see that Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is the true number one academy on the continent!"

"Now, let's begin our group training."

Hearing this, Gu Yue Na immediately seized the opportunity and strode toward Lu Jun.

She coldly swept her gaze over the two girls still surrounding Lu Jun.

"Move."

The two older girls were intimidated by her icy aura and instinctively retreated two steps.

Gu Yue Na grabbed Lu Jun by the wrist.

"We're a group."

Lu Jun: "...?"

Long Chen: "???"

Then what about me?!

On the verge of tears, he looked toward the remaining four people, only to see them exchange glances before sighing in unison.

"Looks like we can only take you with us for now."

Long Chen: "..."

Why do I feel like I'm the extra one?

Am I just one part of your play?

I want to cry even more!

A week later, this Seven-Person Team had more or less been honed into shape.

Early in the morning, their supervising teacher brought them aboard a Soul Guidance Train.

Lu Jun was the first to board. Out of habit, he chose a window seat in the very front row.

He liked this spot. The view was wide open, and it allowed him to avoid interacting with too many people.

If anything unexpected happened, he would notice it immediately.

Then he could run.

The moment he sat down, he closed his eyes as though pondering something.

"Brother Lu! Can I sit here with you?"

Long Chen eagerly followed him over and was about to plop down in the empty seat beside Lu Jun.

After the previous special training, he had completely begun to see Lu Jun as his big brother. He wished he could follow him around at all times and learn from him.

Lu Jun slightly opened his eyes, but before he could answer—

"Move. I'm sitting there."

A cool voice came from behind. At some point, Gu Yue Na had already stepped into the aisle, her eyes suddenly fixed on Long Chen.

"Huh? Sister Gu Yue..." Long Chen instinctively shrank his neck, but his butt remained firmly planted in the seat. "This seat..."

Gu Yue Na frowned. Without another word, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Long Chen by the collar.

With a light flick of her wrist, Long Chen, who stood over 1.7 meters tall, was lifted like a rag doll. With a whoosh, he flew toward the rear rows and landed precisely in the seat beside the supervising teacher.

"Waaah!"

Long Chen traced an arc through the air before crashing heavily into the seat, leaving him completely stunned.

The supervising teacher marveled at Gu Yue Na's terrifying strength and control. He pushed up his glasses and sighed helplessly.

"Ah, youth really is full of energy..."

The other four senior students seemed to have long since grown accustomed to Gu Yue Na's outstanding performance.

During the week of training matches and coordination, they had originally thought Lu Jun was the monstrous one among the first-year students.

They never expected Gu Yue Na's performance to be even more terrifying than Lu Jun's.

The strength she displayed had thoroughly convinced these four-ring upperclassmen.

No wonder the academy had sent them to represent Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the competition.

They truly were extraordinary.

Gu Yue Na casually adjusted her skirt and gracefully sat down beside Lu Jun.

The faint fragrance wafting from her drifted into Lu Jun's nose, carrying a crisp, cool scent.

"..."

Faced with Gu Yue Na's strange possessiveness, Lu Jun turned his head to look at the scenery flashing past outside the window, though his thoughts drifted far away.

He remembered the first time he had met Gu Yue Na. She had also barged into his world without explanation.

Why was this Silver Dragon King always so insistent on staying by his side?

He wanted to hide, yet she relentlessly pursued him.

Besides, he did not even possess the Golden Dragon King Bloodline. He should not have been able to attract her at all.

Even if he possessed a martial soul with incredibly powerful Ultimate Attributes, the famed Silver Dragon King had long inherited all the Ultimate Attribute powers of the other half of the Dragon God.

Why would she be interested in him?

Such a beautiful girl constantly wanted to be with him. Any man would inevitably start having other thoughts.

But Lu Jun understood that once Gu Yue Na met Tang Wulin, with the bloodline attraction between the Gold-Silver Dragon King, he would probably become nothing more than some random nobody by the roadside.

So even if it killed him, he refused to become a clown.

Being a sigma man was much better.

Thus, Lu Jun continued to ignore Gu Yue Na.

This left Gu Yue Na, who had believed her Good Friend Battle Royale plan was making progress, feeling frustrated.

"What are you thinking about?"

Gu Yue Na softly asked, interrupting Lu Jun's chaotic thoughts.

Her voice was very quiet, as though she intended for only Lu Jun to hear it.

"Nothing." Lu Jun withdrew his gaze. "I was just wondering who Shrek will send this time."

Gu Yue Na gave a soft laugh.

"No matter who it is, with your abilities, you'll defeat them easily, won't you?"

"Hard to say."

Lu Jun directly chose to end the conversation. He quietly closed his eyes and began meditating aboard the train.

Become a sigma man and refuse to fall into a beauty trap.
