"Yes, I'm a freshman too."
"I also took part in the freshman entrance exam yesterday morning."
"I watched your battle with Cheng Hai, the fifth-year senior. It was impressive. You're very strong."
"You've already become famous among the freshmen. Don't you know?"
Wang Dong said in surprise.
Huang Fei smiled. "Thanks for the compliment, but I really didn't know. After the exam ended, I stayed in the dormitory meditating until today."
"I see. You really are diligent. But if you're this diligent, logically speaking, you shouldn't only have Level Twelve Soul Power, should you?"
Wang Dong suddenly understood, yet remained puzzled.
Huang Fei shrugged. "Can't be helped. My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and my Innate Soul Power was only 0.1. My starting point was far behind everyone else's."
"What?!"
"Your Innate Soul Power was only 0.1?!"
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
Wang Dong's eyes widened in utter shock.
It was as though she had heard some prehistoric joke.
"Yes. Why would I lie to you?" Huang Fei smiled helplessly.
"Impressive. If it were me, I might've given up long ago and been too lazy even to cultivate."
"Your perseverance is astounding."
Wang Dong gave him a thumbs-up, her face full of admiration.
"Yu Hao, you don't seem surprised. Did you already know?"
Then, as if she had noticed something, she suspiciously turned toward the calm-faced Huo Yuhao and questioned him.
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Yes, Huang Fei already told me. We met before in the Star Dou Great Forest, so we know each other."
"I see. No wonder you were so calm."
"Then you should know about yesterday's battle too, right?"
Wang Dong asked.
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Sorry, I don't know about that. I got in through the Tang Sect Quota and didn't participate in the New Student Tournament. More importantly, even if I had participated, I probably wouldn't have made it through."
His First Soul Ring was currently white and in a Sealed State. The Soul Power fluctuations it gave off only seemed to be from a few decades, so in other people's eyes, it was merely an ordinary few-decade Soul Ring.
On top of that, his Soul Power was only Level 11, and he was still ten years old.
His Martial Soul was not particularly outstanding, either.
He might have been eliminated in the first round.
"I see. You got in through the backdoor..."
"Damn it, I actually lost to someone who got in through the backdoor..."
As soon as Wang Dong heard this, she gritted her teeth, her face flushing red.
She was furious.
Yesterday, over the dormitory matter, while Huang Fei had gone to Song Yunzhi's office, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao had fought.
The result naturally did not deviate from the original plot. Wang Dong, a Level 24 Soul Grandmaster, had lost.
But that was normal. After all, Huo Yuhao had cheats.
Wang Dong's memories were sealed, and her strength had not yet developed.
"Uh... that's in the past... let's not bring it up..."
Huo Yuhao rubbed his nose and said awkwardly.
Although Wang Dong was clearly a boy, her body gave off a feminine scent.
It made him unwilling to fuss over it.
Besides, it was not some deep hatred.
All his hatred lay with the Duke's Mansion.
"Hmph~"
Wang Dong snorted coldly.
"Wang Dong, tell me about it."
Huo Yuhao asked curiously.
"Fine, I'll tell you."
Wang Dong showed some magnanimity and did not continue dwelling on it.
As the three headed toward the cafeteria, Wang Dong told them about yesterday's match.
Huang Fei remained silent, occasionally showing a humble smile and answering, "Senior Cheng Hai went easy on me. If he had gone all out, I would certainly have lost."
Huo Yuhao was deeply shocked to learn that Huang Fei had been able to suppress Cheng Hai, a Level 39 assault-type Soul Elder from the fifth year.
At the same time, he recalled how Huang Fei had absorbed all the spiritual energy particles yesterday, as well as what Brother Sky Dream had said. This further confirmed his belief that Huang Fei had a mysterious background.
Brother Sky Dream, can I do something like that too?
Level Twelve Soul Power, Blue Silver Grass, yet able to suppress a Level 39 Soul Elder...
Huo Yuhao wanted to do the same, so he asked inwardly.
Uh... under normal circumstances, you can't do it yourself... But if Ge secretly helps you, then you can...
What a pity. I didn't get to see yesterday's match.
Maybe we could've learned more from him.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said awkwardly.
It had to be said, the gap between Little Yuhao and Huang Fei was truly enormous.
Yeah, what a pity.
Huo Yuhao was not surprised by Brother Sky Dream's response. Instead, it seemed perfectly normal.
Because he thought so too.
He truly was inferior to Huang Fei.
But the future was uncertain.
"Huang Fei, I hope we can have a match someday."
After entering the cafeteria and eating their fill, Wang Dong spoke.
Ever since yesterday's battle, her hands had been itching for a fight with Huang Fei.
She was a monster too and believed she was no weaker than Huang Fei.
If Huang Fei, a Level 12 One Ring Soul Master, could do it, then she, a Level 24 two-ring Soul Grandmaster, definitely could as well.
As for losing to Huo Yuhao yesterday, that had purely been bad luck.
She had not known that fellow's Martial Soul ability involved Mental Attack.
She had been careless.
But Huang Fei was different. His Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass, not something that used Mental Attack.
If they truly fought and she went all out, she might not lose.
As for Senior Cheng Hai, she also believed that he had gone easy and had not fought with all his strength.
After all, it had been an exam.
He had also held an absolute advantage in Soul Power.
What if he was careless and used too much force, beating someone to death?
"I'd like to have a match with you too."
"I'm sure there'll be an opportunity later."
"Let's go to the classroom."
"I wonder which freshman class we'll be assigned to."
Huang Fei said with a smile.
He did not refuse Wang Dong's challenge.
Because he also wanted to fight the Light Goddess Butterfly.
Perhaps he could even force out her Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.
He wanted to experience the Clear Sky Hammer's power for himself.
After all, it was the continent's number one Weapon Martial Soul.
It had been so ten thousand years ago, and it remained so today, ten thousand years later.
Even in the later Dragon King era, or even further in the future, it would be difficult for any Weapon Martial Soul to shake the Clear Sky Hammer's position at the top.
"Alright."
The three headed toward the First Year freshman teaching building.
Before long, they saw a crowd gathered there.
At the front stood an electronic screen.
Everyone was looking at it.
It displayed each freshman's class assignment.
Huang Fei's arrival caused only a minor stir.
After checking their class assignments, everyone hurried off to their classrooms.
Huang Fei saw that he had been assigned to Freshman Class Nine.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, meanwhile, had been assigned to Freshman Class One.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng, two familiar faces, had also been assigned to Freshman Class Nine.
"Huang Fei, we're not in the same class. What a pity."
"I actually got assigned to the same class as you?! What rotten luck!"
"Then from now on, we'll be opponents from different classes!"
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had completely different attitudes.
"Yeah, not the best luck."
"But perhaps there'll be opportunities later."
Huang Fei remained calm and casually exchanged a few polite remarks.
He did not want to get too entangled with those two.
Being separated was quite good.
Most importantly, after the Freshman Final Exam—
All the elites would be assigned to the same class.
They would still become classmates then.
"Huang Fei, we meet again."
"How was your first night at the academy?"
"Looks like we're lucky. Fate has brought us together, and we've been assigned to the same class."
"Perhaps we'll become comrades in the future."
Just then, two female voices rang out.
Their owners were none other than Ning Tian and Wu Feng.
