A few days later, at Eastsea Academy.
As the most prestigious neutral academy in all of Eastsea City, Eastsea Academy covered a vast area.
It included not only the Intermediate Department, but also the Advanced Department.
Every year, the academy accepted top-ranked students from all over Eastsea City and its surrounding towns.
Anyone with a recommendation letter from Eastsea Academy or their previous elementary academy could enroll.
Tang Wulin had ranked near the bottom in Soul Power even at his elementary academy. One reason he'd been able to get into Eastsea Academy
was that his forging had earned him a recommendation letter from his previous academy.
After arriving on campus, Chen Ye was assigned to Class One. He went with one of his cousins to the Academic Affairs Office to pick up his uniform and dormitory key.
As the young master of the Chen Family, and the owner of a top-tier Martial Soul, he was practically guaranteed a place in Class One.
So he'd directly transferred Wu Changkong to Class One as well, having him come teach the class.
When he reached Bedroom 205, Chen Ye pushed the door open.
As soon as he did, a backpack came flying straight at him.
Chen Ye raised a hand and caught the backpack in his fair palm.
With a casual flick, he tossed it aside. It hit the ground, and an angry shout rang out.
"What are you doing? Why'd you throw my backpack?"
The speaker was a blond boy. He glared at Chen Ye, his eyes full of annoyance.
Besides the blond boy, there was another handsome boy in the room.
The two seemed to be confronting each other. Just as Chen Ye opened the door, the blond boy had thrown the backpack at the handsome one.
Chen Ye paused when he saw the handsome boy in front of him. His features were strikingly defined.
And someone with looks like his, who also gave Chen Ye a faint sense of familiarity through their bloodline...
So this is Tang Wulin? At this stage, Tang Wulin is unexpectedly cute.
What a shame. As the original Child of Destiny, he'll have to change first if I want to change the fates of the female characters.
Chen Ye let out a quiet sigh. As he looked at the blond boy, his displeasure was plain in his eyes.
Since this was Tang Wulin, the blond boy had to be Xie Xie.
Seeing how arrogant and overbearing he was, Chen Ye had no intention of wasting words on him.
He stepped forward, and before Xie Xie could react, he grabbed his arm and threw him over his shoulder.
The boy slammed hard into the ground, pain etched across his fairly handsome face.
At the same time, Chen Ye turned his head slightly and noticed another boy lying unconscious nearby.
Looking at him, Chen Ye rubbed his chin. If he remembered correctly, the boy's name was Zhou Changxi.
"Tsk. School bullying is wrong. We should look out for our classmates!"
"Listen, this is just a warning. If you ever throw a bag at my face again, don't blame me for teaching you a proper lesson."
Chen Ye spoke casually as he glanced around. The room had four beds.
One of the lower bunks was already piled with belongings. The other lower bunk must have been Xie Xie's.
He glanced at it, naturally tossed Xie Xie's things aside, and laid his own bedding on the bunk.
It took Xie Xie more than ten seconds to stagger to his feet. Fury filled his eyes, and a golden dagger appeared in his hand.
"You're asking for it! You really think I can't take you on?"
Xie Xie endured the pain and charged straight at Chen Ye without hesitation.
But the moment he got close, Chen Ye casually raised his left hand and flicked a finger against his head.
Xie Xie went flying backward and crashed to the floor.
Looking at his made bed and Tang Wulin standing nearby in a daze, Chen Ye smiled. "Come on, let's go get something to eat. I just got here, so let's see what the cafeteria's food is like."
Chen Ye smiled. Nearby, Zhou Changxi had only just come to.
He remembered telling his new roommate to do some chores and clean up, and the other boy had obediently done it all.
He'd thought the kid would be easy to push around. But then he'd taken out an old, worn-out blanket...
The other boy had angrily punched him, and he'd blacked out.
When Zhou Changxi came to again, he rubbed his head and saw a refined-looking boy sitting on his bed. He froze.
"This is my bed! Who said you could choose it?!"
Zhou Changxi shouted almost without thinking. Then he saw the boy, who'd been smiling a moment ago, turn his head slightly and fix him with a cold gaze.
"Classmate, if I remember right, this is my lower bunk."
"When did my lower bunk become your bed?"
The boy's icy stare sent a shiver down Zhou Changxi's spine. But hearing his polite words, Zhou Changxi still stood up defiantly.
"I got here first, so this is my spot. I say it's mine, so it's mine. Move to the upper bunk, and I'll let this go."
As he spoke, Zhou Changxi glanced at Tang Wulin. He'd just been beaten up by Chen Ye, and seeing that Tang Wulin hadn't stepped in made him breathe a long sigh of relief.
But when he heard Zhou Changxi's words, the smile on Chen Ye's face slowly disappeared. "Classmate, you might not know this, but I hate school bullying. Are you bullying me right now?"
As he spoke, Chen Ye stood up. Before Zhou Changxi could react, he raised his left foot and kicked hard.
His foot struck Zhou Changxi in the stomach, sending him flying into the wall. The already damaged wall now bore another human-shaped mark.
Tang Wulin was stunned as he watched Zhou Changxi lying on the ground.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Chen Ye didn't care. He casually patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder. "Come on, let's get something to eat. The cafeteria should have something good for us new students."
"I... I... I only have a thousand Federation Currency. I don't know if that'll be enough... And the wall's damaged, so I'll have to pay for it..."
Tang Wulin spoke quietly. Once he'd calmed down, anxiety crept over him.
This was his first time in Eastsea City, and his first time at Eastsea Academy.
The older students here had been friendly to him, but when they looked at his clothes, a trace of disdain would inevitably show in their eyes.
Now that he'd calmed down and saw the damaged wall, he knew he'd have to pay for it.
Thinking about the thousand he had left, Tang Wulin clenched his sleeve slightly.
"I damaged the wall too, so I'll pay for it. If you're short on money, how about working for me?"
"I could use a lackey. Want to be mine? I'll pay you three thousand Federation Currency a month."
