Tang Wulin Is a Bad Guy!

"Do I need a reason to pinch you? And besides, do you like Tang Wulin that much?!" Na'er glared at him unhappily.

"I don't! I've been wronged! I was just telling the truth. We really don't have anything going on right now!" Luo Ze looked at Na'er aggrievedly, completely failing to understand the deeper meaning behind her words.

"You're hopeless!" With that, Na'er angrily turned and left, completely ignoring the innocent-looking Luo Ze trailing behind her.

The two left the academy and remained silent the entire way.

When they passed the snack street and saw the mouthwatering grilled fish, roasted meat, and all kinds of seafood snacks before them, Luo Ze instantly thought of a way to cheer Na'er up!

"Na'er, we've just finished a class. Let's go get something to eat!" Luo Ze hurried forward, took Na'er's hand, and led her toward the snack street without giving her any chance to refuse.

Na'er could tell that Luo Ze was trying to make her happy. She only struggled symbolically for a moment before letting him hold her hand.

Luo Ze took Na'er straight to a barbecue stall. After spending so much time together, he knew that Na'er did not like seafood or spicy food. Whenever there was seafood in their boxed meals, she would pick all of it out in disgust and give it to him.

"Boss, twenty Beef Skewers and twenty Lamb Skewers, packed to go. Thanks." After speaking, he smiled at Na'er. "Do you want a Milk Tea?"

"A large cup, thirty percent sugar!" Na'er said excitedly.

Luo Ze agreed with a smile and held Na'er's hand as they walked to the Milk Tea shop. At this time of day, the students were all in class, so there were not many people in line. It was their turn within minutes.

They had bought Lamb Skewers and her favorite Milk Tea. Na'er should not be angry anymore, right?

Luo Ze cautiously raised his head and observed the changes in Na'er's expression.

At that moment, Na'er's brows had relaxed and the corners of her lips had lifted. She sipped her Milk Tea unhurriedly, clearly in a good mood.

Seeing this, Luo Ze finally relaxed. He silently swore to himself that he would never make Na'er angry again!

"Brother, I can't walk anymore. Will you carry me on your back?" Na'er lowered her head and spoke somewhat shyly.

"Okay." Luo Ze bent down and crouched halfway in front of Na'er. "Get on. Brother will carry you!"

"Mm!" Na'er's arms wrapped tightly around Luo Ze's neck.

His back was like a tranquil ocean, allowing her to sink into it peacefully, unwilling to wake up.

"Brother, it's so nice to have you..." Na'er's pretty face flushed slightly as she spoke softly.

"What?" Luo Ze, focused on walking, had not heard her.

"Nothing. I was just warning you to stay away from Tang Wulin. He doesn't look like a good person at all!" Na'er looked serious, as though she were discussing something extremely important.

"Huh?! Really? I think Tang Wulin is pretty good. He's attentive in class and studies very hard. He doesn't seem like a bad person," Luo Ze said.

"Ah, you don't understand! Just listen to me. Stay farther away from him from now on. Even if you have to talk to him, stay at least ten meters away! Otherwise, I'll ignore you forever!" Na'er pouted and slapped Luo Ze's back hard.

What else could he do? He had to spoil his own little sister. Luo Ze helplessly shook his head and agreed with a smile.

Early the next morning, Luo Ze and Tang Wulin happened to run into each other at the school gate.

"Morning, Brother Luo!" Tang Wulin warmly stepped forward to greet him.

But to his surprise, the moment Luo Ze saw him, he immediately pulled ten meters away.

"Wait! If you have something to say, just say it. Don't get so close to me!" As he spoke, Luo Ze's gaze occasionally swept over the surroundings, as if he were searching for someone's figure.

That action instantly put three huge question marks on Tang Wulin's face.

What kind of move was this? They had only gone a day without seeing each other, and it was not as though he never bathed. Why was Luo Ze staying so far away?!

"Brother Luo, what do you mean by this? I don't smell," Tang Wulin said in confusion.

Luo Ze did not answer immediately. Only after confirming that Na'er truly was not nearby did he let out a deep sigh of relief and reply calmly, "It's because of Na'er. She told me to keep my distance from you, saying you don't look like a good person."

"Huh?! How do I not look like a good person?" Tang Wulin immediately felt deeply wronged.

He was so cute, so handsome, and he never cheated, swindled, or deceived anyone. How did he not look like a good person?

Helplessly, Luo Ze told him what had happened yesterday.

Tang Wulin was immediately rendered speechless. Even if she liked her Brother, did her possessiveness really have to be this strong?!

"Brother Luo, Na'er's behavior feels strangely familiar to me!" Tang Wulin rubbed his chin, but for the moment, he could not remember where he had seen it before.

"Whatever. I just don't want to make her angry again. It's too scary." Luo Ze was worst at cheering girls up.

It was not because he did not know how. Girls' moods were simply too unpredictable, even harder to understand than Soul Beasts. He could not figure them out at all...

After chatting for a few moments, the two quickly pulled apart again, because Na'er had returned.

"Mm, you've improved!" Na'er patted Luo Ze on the shoulder and praised him.

"I'll keep working hard!" Luo Ze nodded in response.

Class began soon afterward. Besides reviewing the previous day's material, Teacher Li also specifically explained Second Professions in class, as well as Battle Armor, the inevitable path for Soul Masters in the future.

To become a Battle Armor Master, one first had to understand how Battle Armor was made. The process of crafting Battle Armor was both complicated and simple.

First, suitable Spirited Metal had to be forged. The higher the quality of the metal, the stronger the Battle Armor's compatibility would be.

Next came the blueprints for the remaining Battle Armor components. This part placed high demands on the Formation Core. The strength of its attack and defense all depended on the Formation Core's design.

The final part was the actual crafting. The requirements for this step were relatively lower, but the maker needed extremely powerful Soul Power and endurance to sustain it. Otherwise, if the process was interrupted midway, the maker would suffer a severe Soul Power backlash. In serious cases, their Martial Soul could even be shattered and dispersed.

The students of Class Five listened in a daze throughout the lesson. They had not even firmly grasped the basics of being Soul Masters, nor could they distinguish the most basic classifications of Soul Beasts. How could they understand Battle Armor, something even farther beyond their reach?

Of course, Luo Ze and Tang Wulin were exceptions.

Tang Wulin was a blacksmith himself and had already come into contact with this field before. Teacher Li's lesson today gave him a deeper understanding of Battle Armor.

Luo Ze was somewhat different. What attracted him was not the strength of Battle Armor, but the choice of a Second Profession.

Before he became a Soul Master, Elder Long had mentioned the importance of a Second Profession to Luo Ze more than once. It was not only related to how far a Soul Master could advance in the future; more importantly, it determined whether a Soul Master could break through their own limits.

The strength of Battle Armor was obvious. Participating in the creation of one's own Battle Armor could increase its affinity and compatibility, thereby improving the Battle Armor's overall qualities.

Therefore, choosing a Second Profession was especially important. One had to choose the most suitable profession—the one best suited to oneself.
