"Should I save it for use as a Second Martial Soul?"

Dai Yu's eyes lit up.

That reminded him.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had sacrificed itself to Huo Yuhao.

At least, it had given Huo Yuhao an ice Martial Soul without a soul.

At worst, it would still be a top-tier ice-attribute Martial Soul.

But when the Million Year Sacred Beast White Tiger sacrificed itself to him, he hadn't received such treatment.

"I can only see whether the system will later reward me with a Second Martial Soul, or perhaps an opportunity to awaken a Second Martial Soul the day after tomorrow."

"By then, this Extreme Fire Attribute Seed will be able to show its power."

Dai Yu licked his lips.

"Dean Qian, you can carry this burden for now.

"After all, you're tough as nails, and one more burden won't hurt.

"Once I fuse with Extreme Fire, I'll go to the Soul Tool Department and properly 'show my filial respect' to you."

After glancing at Wang Dong, who was still sleeping like a dead pig across from him, Dai Yu contentedly closed his eyes.

He had gained quite a lot tonight.

Early morning.

Classroom.

"Ring-ring—"

The class bell rang.

However, one minute passed...

Then three minutes...

Then five minutes...

There was still no one at the lectern.

"What's going on?

"Why hasn't the teacher come yet?"

"Isn't that 'perverted Old Aunt' Zhou Yi obsessed with punctuality?"

"Could something have happened?"

"Maybe it's because of what Dai Yu did to her yesterday..."

The students whispered among themselves.

Dai Yu raised an eyebrow, a trace of surprise flashing through his eyes.

Zhou Yi hadn't come?

Could it be because Dean Qian Duoduo had been punished?

"Squeak—"

The door was pushed open.

The entire class instantly fell silent, all of them turning toward the entrance in unison.

However, the person who entered wasn't Zhou Yi.

It was a man and a woman.

The one walking in front was none other than Qian Duoduo!

Half a step behind Qian Duoduo was an exceptionally beautiful woman dressed in the red uniform of the Inner Court.

Zhang Lexuan!

"Wow... What a beautiful senior..."

"That's the red uniform of the Inner Court!

"My goodness, why would an Inner Court senior come to our freshman class?"

A suppressed burst of exclamations immediately rang out in the classroom.

Even Wang Dong beside him had a flash of amazement in his eyes.

Zhang Lexuan followed Qian Duoduo into the classroom and lightly swept her beautiful eyes over the crowd.

Soon, her gaze passed over everyone and landed precisely on Dai Yu, who was sitting by the window in the back row.

Their eyes met.

Zhang Lexuan's eyes held complicated emotions.

There was shock, curiosity, and a trace of deeply hidden admiration.

Then, right in front of the entire class, she slightly pursed her red lips at Dai Yu,

revealing an extraordinarily beautiful smile as she nodded at him.

That smile was like a spring breeze bringing rain, instantly making many of the boys in the classroom miss a heartbeat.

Dai Yu was also slightly stunned.

What was going on?

Before Dai Yu could react, a series of crisp system notification sounds suddenly rang out in his mind.

[Beep!] [The bound entity "Zhang Lexuan" has been detected experiencing an extremely intense psychological impact from the Host (shock/reversal of understanding)!] [The "Borrowing Momentum to Overawe Others" and "Surpassing Understanding" criteria have been met!] [Congratulations, Host. You have successfully triggered a binding reward!] [Reward obtained: 5 free attribute points!] [Note: 5 free attribute points can be exchanged to increase Soul Power or Spiritual Power by 1 level.]

Hearing the system notifications, Dai Yu's heart suddenly jumped.

Shock?

Reversal of understanding?

He clearly hadn't done anything. He had only been sitting here spacing out, so how had he overturned her understanding?

The system seemed to sense Dai Yu's confusion, and a segment of Information Stream quietly surfaced in his mind.

It turned out that, just a few minutes earlier,

Qian Duoduo had been taking Zhang Lexuan to the freshman teaching building.

Qian Duoduo had still been grumbling and cursing about last night's mysterious "creditor,"

but when the subject of Freshman Class One came up, he suddenly changed direction and mentioned Dai Yu to Zhang Lexuan.

"Lexuan, you said before that you encountered an interesting prospect in the Outer Court, called Dai Yu, right?"

"Yes, Dean Qian.

"That child is steady-natured, and he seems to possess insight far beyond that of his peers."

That was how Zhang Lexuan had answered at the time.

Who would have thought that Qian Duoduo would snort instead, his voice carrying undisguisable astonishment?

"Hmph, 'interesting' doesn't even begin to cover it!

"He's a monster among monsters!

"That kid called Dai Yu is no simple character!

"He possesses Dual Extreme Attributes!"

"Extreme Gold!

"And Extreme Slaughter Attribute!"

"Not only that, his talent has even alarmed that person in the Sea God Pavilion...

"Elder Mu personally gave the order to keep a close eye on this kid. We absolutely can't let him go astray!"

When she heard the words "Dual Extreme Attributes" and "Elder Mu personally gave the order,"

Zhang Lexuan had frozen in place.

Dai Yu actually possessed Dual Extreme Attributes?

Even that elusive Elder Mu had taken a special interest in him!

Talent and backing of that level had completely surpassed the limits of Zhang Lexuan's understanding.

How could this be called a genius?

This was clearly a monster attacking from an entirely higher dimension!

After sorting out the cause and effect, Dai Yu looked at Zhang Lexuan, who was smiling at him from the lectern,

and the corners of his lips involuntarily curled into a pleased arc.

So that was it.

As expected of my long-term meal ticket.

*Sitting in the classroom while wool fell from the sky.

Dean Qian Duoduo really was the perfect assist!

As for how to distribute the five free attribute points,

Dai Yu didn't hesitate and was about to put them into Soul Power.

Right now, he lacked nothing else.

The only thing he was short of was his Soul Power Level.

As for attributes?

His Gold Element and Slaughter Attribute were both at the extreme, already maxed out.

He couldn't increase them even if he wanted to.

As for Spiritual Power, he would leave it aside for now.

At that moment, Qian Duoduo cleared his throat from the lectern:

"Silence!"

The pressure of a high-ranked Soul Master instantly enveloped the entire room. The classroom, which had still been somewhat restless, immediately fell completely silent.

Qian Duoduo's gaze swept across the freshmen below as he loudly declared:

"Your Head Teacher, Zhou Yi, is no longer your Head Teacher because of some unexpected circumstances!

"From now on, Zhang Lexuan will serve as the Head Teacher of Class One!"

The instant he said this, the entire class erupted.

Zhou Yi was just gone?

So this was the power of backing?

Although they didn't dare to make a loud commotion under Qian Duoduo's pressure, everyone couldn't help looking toward Dai Yu.

Shock, awe, disbelief... All kinds of emotions intertwined in the eyes of these freshmen.

Yesterday, Dai Yu had harshly cursed out Zhou Yi, giving everyone immense satisfaction.

Qian Duoduo had even appeared to protect Dai Yu, making Zhou Yi leave with her tail between her legs.

Who would have thought that wasn't all?

Zhou Yi had actually been kicked out entirely!

And in her place was a gentle and beautiful Inner Court senior as their Head Teacher!

"Gulp..."

Someone swallowed, the sound especially clear in the momentary silence.

"Is... Is this the value of top-tier backing?"

"Dai Yu offended her, and even a teacher with a deep-rooted background like Zhou Yi was directly replaced..."

"That's terrifying. From now on, we absolutely mustn't offend Dai Yu, no matter who else we offend in class!"
