Ye Lingling's eyes flickered with hesitation upon hearing Long Chen's idea.
She lacked confidence in herself.
"Brother Chen, but my Soul Power Level is only Level Twenty-Three right now. There are hundreds of students in the academy, and about fifty people are Level Thirty or above. The requirements for the School Team must be very high. I probably can't get in..."
Long Chen stopped, turned around, and looked at Ye Lingling seriously, his tone firm.
"Lingling, although Soul Power Level is important, it is by no means the only standard for measuring a Soul Master's worth. Your Nine Heart Begonia spirit is the most powerful healing spirit on the continent, possessing Group Healing Ability. In a Team Battle, an excellent Healer can turn the tide of the battle and is an indispensable existence in the team. Your ability is irreplaceable by anyone."
Long Chen gently placed his hands on Ye Lingling's shoulders and continued to encourage her.
"Moreover, you are still young. A healing Soul Master reaching Level Twenty-Three at this Age is already remarkable. There are still five Years until the next Soul Master Competition, so you have plenty of time to improve yourself. I believe that with your potential, nothing is impossible."
Ye Lingling looked up, meeting Long Chen's encouraging gaze, and a warm current surged through her heart.
She hadn't expected to hold such an important position in Long Chen's heart.
"Brother Chen, do you really think so?"
"Of course!"
Long Chen chuckled.
"Lingling, actually, I have a Rumor. You've already reserved a quota for the School Team in advance."
Ye Lingling looked at Long Chen with a confused and half-believing expression.
Long Chen explained:
"I met those Three Committee Members today. The Chief of the Teaching Committee personally promised that you would be allowed into the School Team."
Ye Lingling found it somewhat unbelievable, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Brother Chen, we can cultivate together from now on."
"Yes, with me accompanying you, you won't be alone anymore."
The two looked at each other and smiled, continuing on their path to the Main Campus, enjoying the tranquility of the night and the warmth between them.
It was getting late, and Long Chen escorted Ye Lingling to the Girls' Dormitory Building.
"Lingling, get some rest early."
"Okay, you get some rest early too. See you tomorrow."
As they were speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Long Chen?"
The two of them turned their heads in unison, only to see a figure slowly approaching under the moonlight.
It was Dugu Yan.
Although Dugu Yan was only fifteen or sixteen years old, she was tall and curvaceous, and her green eyes beneath her short hair were even deeper than before.
It was clear that the rebound effect of the Green Lined Serpent Poison was secretly eroding her, and its influence on her was growing.
Dugu Yan still maintained her unique pride and cold glamour, her footsteps alluring, each step seeming to carry a trace of eerie power.
"It really is Long Chen. Long time no see, why are you still at the academy so late?"
Dugu Yan walked closer, a playful smile tugging at the corner of her lips. Her gaze flowed between Long Chen and Ye Lingling, as if she had discovered something.
Long Chen smiled faintly, not surprised by Dugu Yan's sudden appearance.
"Hello, Dugu Yan. We'll be classmates from now on, please take care of me."
Ye Lingling also chimed in with a smile from the side:
"Yanyan Jie, Brother Chen will be a member of our Royal Academy starting tomorrow."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan's eyes flickered slightly, as if she were assessing Long Chen's strength.
She could feel that Long Chen's strength was definitely above Ye Lingling's.
She just didn't know why he had only come to the academy now.
"Long Chen, it's good that you're here. Keep Lingling company, she won't be so lonely from now on."
Long Chen nodded.
"It's getting late, you two should go up and rest. See you tomorrow."
"Mm, see you tomorrow."
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan went upstairs together.
They were no longer in the same dormitory, but they often met.
Dugu Yan had also obtained her third soul ring not long ago, her soul power reaching Level Thirty-One, making her a Tiandou Rank Student.
Back in his dormitory, Long Chen slept early.
The next morning, Long Chen got up early.
He had been to the Royal Academy a few times and was quite familiar with the environment.
However, the academy had four to five hundred students, divided into different classes according to three levels.
He Attended Class For The First Time, and he wasn't familiar with the classroom's location, so he had to find it in advance.
After asking around for a while, he finally arrived at the classroom.
Long Chen arrived relatively early, and there weren't many people in the classroom.
But as time went by, students one by one walked into the classroom.
Almost every student who walked in had their gaze fall on Long Chen.
They were all Tiandou Rank Students, most of them over fifteen years old, and some even over twenty.
Compared to them, Long Chen looked a bit Tender.
If Long Chen hadn't been wearing a School Uniform that only Tiandou Rank Students were qualified to possess, he would have already been kicked out of this classroom.
A few boys, around eighteen or nineteen years old, were chatting and laughing in a corner, then walked towards Long Chen together.
"Hey, Kid, new here?"
The one speaking was a taller, Strong and Burly boy, around twenty years old.
Students of the Royal Academy were mostly rich and noble, pampered, and arrogant.
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to reply to that person, he just glanced at him, then continued looking at the Herb Atlas in his hands.
The other boys, seeing this, were very disdainful.
"Hey, Kid, are you a Mute! Our Boss is talking to you!"
"Kid, how old are you this year? Do you think wearing this School Uniform makes you a Tiandou Rank Student?"
"This Kid must have worn the wrong School Uniform, but he's not stupid, he did find the right classroom."
"Hahaha~~"
The boys' taunts quickly attracted everyone's attention, and all eyes focused on Long Chen.
Everyone wanted to know what Long Chen's Background was.
Why could a Youth in his teens wear the School Uniform that represented the identity of a Tiandou Rank Student.
"Kid, do you think pretending to be deaf and dumb will let you Muddle Through? Let me see what Strength you possess to be sitting here!"
The Strong and Burly boy said, raising his Fist and smashing it towards Long Chen, wanting to force Long Chen to make a move and test his Strength.
Long Chen's expression remained unchanged.
As Black Light surged in his Right Palm, the Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul was released.
Immediately, three soul rings, yellow, yellow, and purple, unfolded around him in sequence.
As the second soul ring suddenly lit up, his fingertips plucked the lute strings, and a massive Nine-Tailed Fox Phantom descended without warning, covering more than half the classroom.
Seeing this, everyone was startled.
"What is this?"
"A Nine-Tailed Fox!"
"He's really a Three Ring Battle Soul Elder!"
Just as everyone was in shock, Long Chen's fingers continued to pluck the lute strings.
Those who had just taunted Long Chen seemed to fall into a trance, forming a circle.
Each of them raised their hands, their left hands slapping their own mouths, and their right hands heavily slapping the faces of those beside them.
Slap!
Slap!
Everyone fell quiet, watching the scene unfold.
The only sounds in the classroom were the gentle zither music and the sound of those few people madly slapping their faces and mouths.
