Wu Changkong's gaze narrowed slightly, and he was secretly shocked.

He truly had not expected Fang Yang and Gu Yue's Spiritual Power to be so terrifying, while Tang Wulin and Xie Xie's performances had also been quite impressive.

Although Xie Xie appeared to be the weakest of the four on the surface, Wu Changkong understood that even the "weakest" Xie Xie was outstanding among those his age.

Xie Xie: "Peanuts for me!"

Wu Changkong gathered his thoughts and turned his gaze toward Fang Yang. In a deep voice, he asked, "Fang Yang, after fusing with your Soul Spirit, what level is your Soul Power now?"

Fang Yang replied calmly, "Teacher Wu, my Soul Power has already reached Level 35."

In truth, after devouring the Myriad Beasts Spirit Flame, Fang Yang could have used the Heavenly Flame's immense energy to break through to Level 40.

But he had chosen to condense the terrifying power of the Myriad Beasts Spirit Flame into a Spirit Bone.

"Myriad Beasts Spirit Flame Right Arm Bone": This Spirit Bone, born from the Myriad Beasts Spirit Flame, gained the attached skill "Myriad Beasts Golden Claw" after fusing with the Golden Dragon King Bloodline within his body.

When used, Myriad Beast Phantoms would appear around the Golden Dragon Claw, unleashing astonishing power.

"What? Level 35 Soul Power?!"

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, standing nearby, immediately widened their eyes upon hearing this, their faces filled with disbelief.

Then, the two exchanged a glance and saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

Wu Changkong nodded slightly and turned to Gu Yue. "Gu Yue, what about your Soul Power Level?"

Gu Yue smiled faintly and said softly, "Level 33 Soul Power."

Only then did Xie Xie suddenly realize. He muttered under his breath, "No wonder Fang Yang and Gu Yue caught each other's eye. They're both monsters."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Tang Wulin and silently rejoiced. Good thing Wulin is about the same level as me.

Wu Changkong looked at Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, his tone cold. "The two of you, strive to break through Level 20 before the Class Promotion Tournament."

"Yes!"

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie hurriedly answered.

"The testing is over. Go back to class." Wu Changkong gave the order succinctly.

When Fang Yang and the other three followed Wu Changkong back to the Sports Field, they saw that the other Class Five students were still undergoing Physical Training.

Though everyone was drenched in sweat, not a single person slacked off. Those who truly could not continue rested briefly, then immediately threw themselves back into training.

This spirit of self-discipline brought a trace of approval to Wu Changkong's eyes.

"Everyone, assemble!" Wu Changkong's cold voice rang across the Sports Field.

All the Class Five students immediately perked up and swiftly lined up.

Though they were soaked in sweat and panting heavily, their eyes shone with determination, their backs held ramrod straight.

"Your performance..."

Wu Changkong's gaze slowly swept over every one of them.

He paused unusually before saying, "Has satisfied me greatly."

His words were like a spring breeze, easing the tightly wound nerves of every Class Five student.

After all, receiving praise from this "cold and aloof heartthrob" was an extremely rare occurrence at Eastsea Academy.

"Starting tomorrow, the training schedule will be adjusted."

Wu Changkong's voice remained cold, yet carried unquestionable authority. "Physical Training in the morning, theoretical classes in the afternoon. Dismissed!"

This news delighted the Class Five students. At last, they could escape all-day Physical Training.

For their exhausted bodies, this was undoubtedly wonderful news.

After giving his instructions, Wu Changkong turned to leave.

At that moment, Fang Yang quickly stepped forward and asked, "Teacher Wu, what about the four of us?"

He meant himself, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie—the small team for the Class Promotion Tournament.

"Since everyone has been dismissed, you can go rest as well."

Without even turning his head, Wu Changkong spoke. As his words fell, his tall figure had already vanished at the far end of the Sports Field.

Fang Yang and the other three looked at one another, then all revealed relieved smiles in unison.

This unexpected rest time was equally precious to them. Under Wu Changkong's strict training, every moment of rest was hard-won.

"Then what should we do next..."

Tang Wulin scratched his head, but before he could finish, Xie Xie interrupted him.

"Of course we should go back to the dorm and get some proper rest. These past few days of training have nearly killed me." Xie Xie stretched lazily.

Fang Yang looked toward Gu Yue, who stood quietly at the side.

He said softly, "Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, you two go back first."

Then he walked over to Gu Yue's side and asked gently, "Gu Yue, shall we go for a walk?"

"Sure."

Gu Yue nodded slightly, a barely perceptible curve rising at the corner of her lips as a trace of hidden joy flashed through her eyes.

To everyone's surprise, Fang Yang naturally took Gu Yue's Slender Jade Hand.

Her hand felt slightly cool, like jade, yet carried a softness unique to a young girl.

A blush instantly spread across Gu Yue's fair cheeks, but she did not pull away and simply let Fang Yang hold her hand.

This sudden intimate gesture left Tang Wulin and Xie Xie dumbfounded.

The two looked at each other as if a door to a new world had opened before them.

"So you can do that?" Xie Xie muttered.

Tang Wulin, meanwhile, watched the two retreating figures, lost in thought, as a hint of realization flashed through his eyes.

He patted Xie Xie on the shoulder. "Come on. Let's not disturb them."

As they strolled along a path at Eastsea Academy, Gu Yue lightly scolded, "You bad guy."

Fang Yang shamelessly smiled. "Gu Yue, didn't you say before that I could hold your hand?"

He deliberately tightened his grip, feeling the warmth flowing into his palm.

Gu Yue turned her face away and pursed her lips as if angry, yet unconsciously moved a little closer to Fang Yang.

The two continued holding hands as they walked in silent understanding toward Eastsea Academy's small lake.

A gentle breeze drifted past, sending Gu Yue's hair fluttering in the wind. A few strands brushed across Fang Yang's cheek, carrying a faint fragrance.

Fang Yang could not help taking a deep breath. Glancing sideways, he saw sunlight filtering through her hair and casting scattered patterns of light and shadow across Gu Yue's delicate profile. She was so beautiful that it took his breath away.

Fang Yang and Gu Yue sat side by side on a flat boulder by the lake.

The Lake Surface was crystal clear. Fish occasionally leaped from the rippling water, splashing tiny droplets.

The two quietly admired the beautiful scene before them, neither willing to break this rare tranquility.

At that moment, Gu Yue softly asked, "Fang Yang, do you have some kind of special bloodline within your body?"

As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly, her eyelashes trembling. "And... for some reason, you always give me an inexplicable sense of closeness."

A rosy blush quietly crept onto her fair cheeks, making her look especially enchanting.

Seeing Gu Yue's shy expression, Fang Yang smiled faintly.

He knew perfectly well that it was caused by the natural resonance between the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and the Silver Dragon King Bloodline.

The Golden Silver Twin Dragons had originally been one and the same.

"That's simple. If we hug, won't we find out?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Fang Yang's lips as he slowly rose to his feet.

As he spoke, he gently took Gu Yue's slender wrist and pulled her up. Then he opened his arms and tenderly drew Gu Yue into his embrace.

The instant they embraced, the dragon bloodlines within their bodies produced a wondrous resonance at the same time, and a warm current flowed through both their hearts.

Gu Yue felt her heartbeat suddenly race, yet she could not bear to break free from that warm embrace.
