Eastsea F3, Xu Xiaoyan's Invitation

The next day, early morning.

Xu Yue had not yet exited his meditative state when he was startled awake by Mu Xi knocking on his door.

After Awakening Day, regardless of whether they possessed soul power, everyone was required by the laws of the Sun Moon Federation to attend a primary academy for universal education.

Although those with soul power and those without were placed in different classes, generally speaking, it was still a system for commoners to acquire knowledge.

On this point alone, the unified Douluo Continent was far superior to the continent of ten thousand years ago, which had been divided into many nations and plagued by constant strife.

Even if the progress was a bit slow, it was progress nonetheless.

Soon, accompanied by Yuan Bao'er and Mu Xi, Xu Yue arrived at Eastsea City Primary Academy.

The brief opening ceremony concluded.

Xu Yue arrived at his seat in the classroom.

At the start of the school year, the students were all strangers to one another, and the atmosphere was slightly reserved; however, being young, the sound of chattering whispers rose and fell throughout the room.

Just then, a young man walked in through the front door, stepped onto the podium, and tapped the desk.

"Thump, thump!"

"Hello, students. I am Li Hu, and I will be leading you through your primary academy career for the next three years."

He scanned the room, his gaze landing on a small boy in the front row. "Let's start with you for the self-introductions."

The boy who was pointed out stood up with a swish.

"Hello, teacher. My name is Feng Xiao, my Martial Soul is the Gale Demon Wolf, and my innate soul power is level five."

After speaking, he held his head high and glanced at his classmates behind him with a look of self-satisfaction.

"Not bad," Li Hu nodded with a smile. "You will surely become an excellent Soul Master in the future. Sit down."

Next, it was the turn of Feng Xiao's deskmate, followed by the other students.

"Hello, teacher, my name is... soul power level three..."

"My name is... innate soul power level two..."

Xu Yue listened to the students' introductions and nodded inwardly.

Although Eastsea City was not a major city in the Sun Moon Federation, it was considered a hub for the surrounding region, and the quality of the students recruited by this primary academy was indeed quite good.

When it was the turn of two boys in the front row, one of them spoke in a clear voice.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Yangzi, and my Martial Soul is the Dark Phantom Eagle. Beside me is my childhood friend Wang Jinxi, whose Martial Soul is the Bone Dragon King."

"We both have innate level nine soul power!"

After speaking, he cast a slightly provocative glance at Feng Xiao.

"Innate level nine?! And both of them?!"

"How amazing!"

The classroom erupted in exclamations.

Children born on the Douluo Continent, no matter how young, understood what innate level nine meant.

It represented the potential to reach the rank of Title Douluo, or even Super Douluo—a status that was, for them and their families, practically unreachable.

After Zhang Yangzi sat down, another person stood up.

"Hello everyone, I am Wei Xiaofeng, my Martial Soul is the Green Shadow Snake, and I have innate level eight soul power."

Wei Xiaofeng sat down, and after a few more people, it was finally Xu Yue's turn.

Facing everyone's gaze, he stood up calmly.

"Hello everyone, my name is Xu Yue, my Martial Soul is the Star of Eden, and I am a level thirteen one-ring Soul Master."

As his voice fell, the entire classroom instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Even Li Hu on the podium was stunned, staring blankly at Xu Yue, the form in his hand sliding off the desk.

A moment later, a roar of noise exploded.

"A Soul Master?! Are you kidding me!"

"Is this really Eastsea City?!"

"A... alright, student Xu Yue, you may sit down first." Li Hu regained his composure, his voice slightly stuttering. "The remaining students, please continue."

The entire class finished their introductions, but most eyes remained glued to Xu Yue.

At this moment, they felt as if they were witnessing the rise of a future powerhouse on the Continent Wind and Cloud Ranking; this was perhaps the closest they would ever come to such a figure in their lives.

"Since that's the case, let's have student Xu Yue serve as our class monitor. What do you all think?"

Li Hu scanned the crowd, and seeing no objections, he looked at Xu Yue with an inquisitive gaze. "What about you, student Xu Yue?"

Xu Yue nodded slightly, not refusing.

It was just a primary school class monitor position; it was no big deal.

"Alright, let's take out our books and turn to page..."

Li Hu had not finished speaking when the communicator on his body suddenly rang.

He hurriedly answered it for a moment before closing his book.

"Everyone, please wait a moment, I will be right back." After saying this, he walked away quickly.

The moment Li Hu's figure disappeared at the door, whispers erupted in the classroom, with over ninety percent of the topics pointing toward Xu Yue.

In the front row, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi turned around at the same time.

Zhang Yangzi asked first out of curiosity: "Class Monitor, you obtained a Soul Ring so quickly, could it be Innate Full Soul Power?"

Wang Jinxi looked at his childhood friend as if he were an idiot: "Yangzi, isn't that a waste of words? If it weren't full soul power, how could you absorb a Soul Spirit right after awakening?"

Wei Xiaofeng, who was nearby, also leaned in and asked curiously.

"Class Monitor, your Martial Soul, Star of Eden, is something I've never heard of. Is it a mutated Martial Soul?"

Xu Yue only nodded slightly to the three's questions.

Being in the same class as the future Eastsea F3 during their childhood was indeed something that surprised him.

In terms of talent, the three of them were actually no lower than the members of the protagonist group.

It was just that for various reasons, they hadn't managed to catch that ride.

Just then, he frowned slightly, sensing footsteps approaching outside the door.

"Quiet!"

A soft shout rang out, and the whole class instantly fell silent.

At that very moment, Li Hu walked in with a little girl who had light blue hair and a shy expression.

With delicate features and a carved-from-jade appearance, she was definitely a budding beauty.

It was none other than Xu Xiaoyan, whom Xu Yue had encountered in the Spirit Pagoda parking lot.

However, looking at her, she seemed very unaccustomed to such a high-profile environment.

"Student Xiaoyan, please introduce yourself to everyone," Li Hu said softly.

"Hello everyone, I am Xu Xiaoyan, Martial Soul Star Wheel Ice Staff, level eleven one-ring Soul Master."

Another Soul Master!

For a moment, everyone's eyes focused on her, causing Xu Xiaoyan to instinctively hide behind Li Hu.

"Student Xiaoyan, I'll take you to your seat," Li Hu lowered his voice.

Xu Xiaoyan shook her head, extended her small hand, and pointed cautiously toward the front.

"Can I... sit next to that big brother?"

The point where her fingertip landed was right beside Xu Yue.

The day's lessons were nearing their end.

Possessing the power of the Herrscher of Reason, Xu Yue's learning speed was astonishingly fast.

While the teacher was lecturing, he had almost finished flipping through all the distributed books, memorizing all the content by heart.

Suddenly, a soft sensation came from his right arm.

Xu Yue raised his eyes to look, and it was Xu Xiaoyan beside him.

The latter was currently poking him gently with the pad of her onion-white index finger, her movements appearing exceptionally careful and cautious.

"What's wrong, Student Xiaoyan?" Xu Yue asked with a smile.

"That... Class Monitor..." Xu Xiaoyan bit her pink lips and gathered her courage to speak, "After school... can I invite you to go for a walk?"

These words caused Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, and Wei Xiaofeng, who were pricking up their ears to eavesdrop, to widen their eyes instantly.

On the first day of school, the Class Monitor was already going on a date with a female classmate?

Xu Yue naturally wasn't thinking the way they were.

This was most likely related to the Star of Eden.

The Absolute Certainty attribute of the Star Wheel Ice Staff was top-tier among star-type Martial Souls, not inferior to the Star Crown Martial Soul of the main Xu Clan line, so it was no surprise that it had a resonance with his Star of Eden.

Meeting Xu Xiaoyan's expectant gaze, he nodded with a smile.

"Sure."
