No One Can Deny My Sister What Others Have!

Beneath the azure sky stretched a deep green forest.

Trees grew in dense clusters, while all kinds of grasses flourished.

The sharp cries of birds and beasts faintly echoed between heaven and earth.

This was Mingyue Forest within the Sun Moon territory. It did not cover a particularly vast area, with several mountain ranges winding continuously together.

Five young men and women stood at the edge of the woods.

Sun Moon Academy had no so-called final examinations. As long as students reached the required standard, they could apply for a Soul Engineer assessment and advance to the next grade.

However, to encourage students' enthusiasm, competitive events were held at the end of every year.

Xu Tinglan took out a map and surveyed his surroundings. "I don't think this is any different from a final exam."

The silver-haired youth spoke with a smile.

"Don't say that. Staying in the academy all day has bored me to death."

The orange-red-and-gold-haired girl held an orange in her hand, taking small bites and stuffing them into her mouth. When she noticed everyone looking at her—

She pursed her lips. "Do you want some too?"

The girl spread out her hand. A pale yellow glow emerged in her palm, and five oranges emitting a rich fruity fragrance appeared in her arms.

Xu Tinglan and the others accepted the oranges.

The crystal-clear flesh was brimming with juice. After eating one, they felt as though their Brains had become completely refreshed.

"Let's go!"

Jet Propulsion Devices appeared behind the five of them as they followed the river toward the depths of the mountains.

Mingyue Forest had been altered by the academy's higher-ups, who had driven all Soul Beasts above the ten-thousand-year level into other forests.

Now, the strongest Soul Beasts in Mingyue Forest were only Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

It was not only suitable for students hunting Soul Rings; most year-end wilderness trials were also held here.

As time passed, the sun gradually sank through the sky.

Xu Tinglan discovered their first target.

The Unicorn's body was snow-white, its fur like satin woven from moonlight.

The spiraling horn on its forehead was translucent, with tiny patterns of light flowing across it. Its four long hooves made no sound against the ground. Its mane cascaded like a waterfall, scattering motes of light as it ran into the wind.

Jiang Nannan lowered her voice.

"There's actually a Unicorn."

"Looks like it's around eight hundred years old."

The white Unicorn had an elegant form and moved like the wind. It was an even finer mount than a Scale-Horned Horse, gentle in temperament and extremely rare.

They had only entered Mingyue Forest for half a day, yet they had already found a Unicorn.

Xu Tinglan pushed off with his right foot and shot forward.

"I'll do it."

When the Unicorn saw the youth rushing toward it, panic surfaced in its eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, it turned and raced deeper into the forest.

An ink-like aura radiated from Xu Tinglan's body and spread in every direction.

The instant the Unicorn's pristine body touched the Ink Soul Power, its speed visibly slowed. Not only that, Jiang Nannan had already activated her Second Soul Skill.

Gravity Control!

Xu Tinglan moved as swiftly as a startled hare, flipping onto the Unicorn's back.

His Soul Power descended with the crushing weight of a mountain.

Pinning the Unicorn beneath him.

A metal device was fastened around the white Unicorn's neck. Xu Tinglan took out his Points Soul Tool and scanned it beside the device.

Eight hundred points appeared on it.

This metal device had been uniformly installed by Sun Moon Academy on every Soul Beast in Mingyue Forest. Besides tracking their locations, it also calculated assessment points.

Students only needed to fight for the time it took an incense stick to burn, or subdue the Soul Beast.

Killing Soul Beasts would instead result in point deductions.

This was also a test designed by the academy to encourage students to adapt to close-quarters combat and control the power of their Soul Tools.

The other four hurried over.

Meng Hongchen looked at him, her wine-red eyes openly examining the youth.

"Your body really looks like a humanoid Soul Beast. Just looking at it makes you seem so powerful."

Xu Tinglan turned back toward the girl, smiling without paying it much mind.

He activated his Black Tortoise Bloodline, suppressing the Unicorn beneath him.

Until it stopped resisting, and obedience showed in its eyes.

Xu Tinglan flipped onto its back and clamped his legs tight.

The Unicorn quickly understood what he meant and shot forward like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

The wind filled his sleeves, making his robes flap loudly.

He lowered his body until he was almost pressed against the Unicorn's snowy neck, letting its mane brush across his cheeks.

Its four hooves shattered the dew, spraying water that broke into golden specks beneath the sunlight.

Then it was flung behind them in an instant.

The loose strands of hair on his forehead were blown straight back, revealing his smooth brow and a pair of astonishingly bright eyes.

"I've wanted to ride a horse for ages, but I never had the chance. This time, no matter what, I can't let it pass."

What boy did not want to gallop freely on horseback, racing across the land with abandon?

Xu Tinglan was naturally no exception.

When the youth returned, Jiang Nannan eagerly stepped forward and reached out to stroke the Unicorn's white mane. It felt sleek and smooth.

"Brother Lan, I want a ride too!"

He reached out, pulled the girl over, and flipped onto the Unicorn's back.

Both his arms passed around her slender waist.

Meng Hongchen stood atop a boulder, envy appearing in her eyes.

"I want to ride too."

"Meng, I'll catch you a mount later as well."

"No one can deny my sister what others have!"

Xiao Hongchen did as he said.

He rode a four-legged frog glowing green all over its body. With a fierce leap, it sprang more than ten meters into the air, bouncing up and down at an astonishing speed.

"Meng, look! This is even faster!"

Meng Hongchen raised her head to look at him.

Her biological brother was hopping about atop a huge Water Leaping Frog, and the silver-haired youth wore an expression of smug satisfaction, as if to say, Just as expected of me.

The girl turned her head away in despair and shouted in a clear voice.

"You should just go die!"

The five continued onward together.

Ju Zi and Meng Hongchen still used Propulsion Soul Tools. The silver-haired girl remained at the very edge of the group, her cheeks puffed up in anger.

Xiao Hongchen wore an innocent expression.

"Brother, do you know why my sister is angry?"

Xu Tinglan looked at his roommate beside him.

This man could indeed be called suave and handsome, wearing a cowboy-like hat. In terms of looks, he was not inferior even compared to Xu Tinglan himself.

But he was riding a green-skinned Water Leaping Frog.

Xu Tinglan's expression turned strange.

"Don't you think there's something wrong with your mount?"

Xiao Hongchen nodded, deeply agreeing. His brows lifted slightly.

"I understand. I should have found a toad. Frogs may be handsome, but they don't deserve my sister's breathtaking beauty."

"Look at my sister puffing up in anger. Doesn't she look just like a toad?"

The silver-haired youth looked utterly doting.

"Even when she's angry, she's so adorable. As expected of my Meng!"

Xu Tinglan found himself speechless.

The girl in his arms finally could not hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.

Ice-blue wings spread from Meng Hongchen's back.

She unfolded her ice-blue wings and flew into the air at a startling speed. Holding a sword-type Soul Tool, she shouted loudly.

"Receive my Frost Sword, idiot!"

"Who's your sister?!"

"You're the toad! Your whole family is made of toads!"

Xu Tinglan raised a hand to his forehead.

He sighed inwardly. Had these two weirdos fried their Brains from studying Soul Tools? It seemed getting out really was necessary.

Ju Zi ate her orange, watching the two of them and giggling.

"The siblings really do have a great relationship."

The atmosphere was relaxed. After all, there were no Soul Beasts here capable of threatening them, not to mention teachers patrolling the surrounding area.

Soul Beasts above ten thousand years possessed basic human intelligence and the awareness of a beast king.

Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, on the other hand, could not gather into herds.

So this place was very safe. It did not matter if they made some noise.
