Na'er

Na'er

In the classroom, Qiangu Wuji's pair of golden eyes were incredibly brilliant and eye-catching.

Witnessing this magical scene, the students who had never seen a Body Martial Soul were stunned, each of them looking on with great novelty.

Even Lin Ximeng wore a look of astonishment.

However, she seemed to realize something immediately and hurriedly waved her hand to stop him.

"Wait, there's no need to test anymore."

Hearing this, Qiangu Wuji paused, retracted the spiritual power he had just condensed, and looked at Lin Ximeng in confusion.

The latter gave a wry smile and then said.

"Since you have Innate Full Soul Power, there is certainly no problem with you joining the Soul Master class."

As she spoke, Lin Ximeng straightened her back, extended her fair hand, and added with a smile.

"Welcome to Class One."

Originally, she had asked Qiangu Wuji to attack her just to test if he had any soul power at all.

Now that he had even manifested his soul ring—and a yellow one at that—it undoubtedly proved that his Soul Power Level was at least above ten.

Was there any need to test further?

Of course not.

As these words fell, the students below erupted into a uniform cheer of welcome.

It was clear that the students were very fond of this beautiful and powerful new classmate.

After Qiangu Wuji had demonstrated his strength and confirmed his eligibility, it was Gu Yue's turn.

Facing the curious gazes of the students, Gu Yue said nothing, simply condensing a small fireball between her palms to end the test.

But even this casual action left Lin Ximeng and the students shocked once again.

Because they clearly did not see a soul ring on Gu Yue.

"I retract my previous words; both of you are absolutely qualified to join the Soul Master class."

After watching the two of them demonstrate, Lin Ximeng finally walked up to Qiangu Wuji, bowed slightly, and said straightforwardly.

Qiangu Wuji didn't react much, but Leng Yaozhu, standing to the side, curled her lips into a smile.

As someone who doted on her son, nothing made her happier than seeing others praise him.

After a moment of surprise, Qiangu Wuji responded.

"Teacher Lin, you don't need to mind it. You did this out of responsibility to the students, and I understand."

His sensible and well-behaved demeanor undoubtedly won him even more of Lin Ximeng's favor.

At such a young age, despite his outstanding talent, he was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and remained so humble—he was simply the model of a perfect student.

"Teacher Lin, Wuji is right, you were only acting out of duty," just as she was secretly wondering where Lu Renjia had found such a treasure, Leng Yaozhu stepped forward, smiled slightly, and said, "Also, Teacher Lin, we will be colleagues from now on."

"Colleagues."

Lin Ximeng repeated the word in surprise, then looked at Lu Renjia beside her in confusion.

The latter also stepped forward at the right moment, looking smug; clearly, the misunderstanding about him pulling strings had bothered him for a long time, and now that it was cleared up, he was naturally triumphant.

"This is Teacher Leng, who just transferred from Donghai City. Teacher Lin, you two should get along well in the future."

"Wow!"

With the principal's confirmation, the room erupted into another round of cheers.

Hongshan Academy didn't have many teachers who taught martial arts, and now that such a beautiful female teacher had arrived, the students were overjoyed.

Lin Ximeng was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, then said nothing more and bowed to apologize to Leng Yaozhu.

After the martial soul tests, the three of them were officially enrolled in Hongshan Academy.

However, they didn't intend to start classes today; after all, they had just arrived in Aolai City and had other matters to prepare for.

Thus, Leng Yaozhu exchanged a few words and led the two of them out of the classroom.

And the moment they left, the classroom instantly erupted into heated discussion.

"Did you see that? That student named Qiangu is so beautiful, but he's clearly a boy, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, he's so good-looking and so powerful; could he be a young master from some big family?"

"Wuwu, I don't care, he's so handsome that I must marry him when I grow up."

These were the words of the girls in the class; without a doubt, Qiangu Wuji's beautiful and powerful image had deeply taken root in the hearts of these little girls.

Actually, one couldn't blame them; it was mainly because Qiangu Wuji's image was indeed too lethal.

He was gentle and humble to others, and his own abilities were outstanding—it was no wonder Leng Yaozhu worried about him being deceived in matters of the heart later on.

On the podium, Lin Ximeng listened to the chattering below, feeling quite speechless.

Hearing a group of children with an average age of less than seven or eight years old talking about marrying someone was simply too absurd.

However, she could understand it; after all, the Douluo Continent still held the strong in high regard.

Thinking of what Qiangu Wuji had just displayed, even though it was only a fleeting glimpse, she was still shocked even now.

That was the legendary Body Martial Soul, right?

And it seemed to be eyes; wasn't that the same as the Martial Soul of the founder of the Spirit Pagoda from ten thousand years ago?

Lin Ximeng couldn't help but be curious: why would such a genius come to a small place like Hongshan Academy?

After leaving the classroom, led by Lu Renjia, the three of them wandered around the school for a while before preparing to leave.

However, before they left, Lu Renjia tried hard to persuade them, saying he wanted to host a banquet to welcome them.

To this, Leng Yaozhu naturally refused directly, stating that they should just be treated like ordinary people.

Just like that, the three of them left Hongshan Academy.

The next thing they needed to do was find a place to live for the next three years.

Originally, as long as Leng Yaozhu revealed her identity and went to the local Spirit Pagoda to speak with the person in charge, the other party would certainly have arranged everything for them.

But Leng Yaozhu did not do that; she truly acted like an ordinary worker drifting about, choosing to handle everything herself.

On the streets of Aolai City, Leng Yaozhu turned her head and said to Qiangu Wuji and the other.

"Wuji, you and Gu Yue go walk around the street for a bit, I'm going to find a house nearby."

"Mm! Okay."

Qiangu Wuji nodded sensibly.

Leng Yaozhu didn't say anything more, just waved her hand, turned around, and left the spot.

By this time, it was already late afternoon, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the somewhat old streets of Aolai City, with all sorts of people coming and going, making the small city look full of life.

Qiangu Wuji looked up and saw a barbecue restaurant across the street; he happened to be hungry, so he asked Gu Yue.

"Gu Yue, do you want to eat some barbecue?"

Gu Yue looked at him and was just about to nod, but as if she had sensed something, her dark eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Qiangu Wuji also noticed it, his pretty little face full of surprise.

Under the passive perception of soul power flow from his Heavenly Six Eyes, he could feel a faint trace of soul power operating in the alley opposite them.

He was very familiar with this soul power; wasn't it Tang Wulin, whom he had sensed in the classroom just now?

It seemed Tang Wulin was having a conflict with someone right now, and that weak soul power was circulating at high speed.

Qiangu Wuji thought of the plot from the original story where the other party saved Na'er, so without time to think, he hurriedly called out to Gu Yue and ran toward the alley opposite.

Just as he approached the entrance of the alley, he heard this voice.

"You bad guys, you aren't allowed to bully her!"
