Eastsea Academy

Eastsea Academy is the premier institution in Eastsea City.

The academy consists of an Intermediate Division and an Advanced Division. The Intermediate Division is part of compulsory education and charges no tuition, accepting all age-appropriate students from Eastsea City and its surrounding satellite towns.

As long as one possesses a recommendation letter from a Primary Academy, they can enroll.

As for the Advanced Division, specific criteria must be met to gain entry.

The curriculum spans six years. Upon graduating from Grade Six, if a student's cultivation has reached the three-ring level, they may advance to an advanced academy to continue their studies.

The Mecha piloting major offered here is among the best even within the entire Skysea Alliance, attracting countless students to enroll.

Following the long break after graduating from Primary Academy, Eastsea Academy has arrived at the day for new student enrollment.

At this moment, the entrance to Eastsea Academy is bustling with noise and excitement.

Xu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan are currently surrounded by a group of senior female students.

"Little junior is so handsome! Let senior sister hold your... ahem, I mean... senior sister will show you the way."

"This little junior sister must be your younger sister, right? Come! Senior sister will take you to the dormitory."

Seeing the enthusiasm of the many senior sisters, Xu Yue feels quite helpless.

Beside him, although Xu Xiaoyan wants to stop them from getting close, there are too many people around, and her two fists are no match for the dozens of hands reaching out.

Damn it! Xu Xiaoyan, you are so weak, you can't even protect the person you like; you need to work harder in the future.

Just then, a voice that sounds like music to Xu Xiaoyan's ears rings out, carrying intense fury.

"What do you all think you are doing?!"

The angry words cause the scene to come to a sudden halt.

When they turn to look, they immediately lose their momentum.

This is because the person who arrived has a prestigious and thunderous reputation within the academy.

It is none other than Mu Xi, known as the genius forging girl of the Intermediate Division.

At the same time, she is accompanied by Ouyang Zixin and Xu Xiaoyan's older brother, Xu Xiaoyu.

However, the gap between the three of them clearly shows that Mu Xi is the one leading the way.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Mu Xi!"

Mu Xi marches over in a fit of rage, her beautiful eyes immediately darting toward the many junior students.

"Is this how you welcome new students to the academy?"

Without another word, she takes Xu Yue's hand and leads the two of them toward the interior of Eastsea Academy.

As Xu Yue walks into Eastsea Academy, he can faintly hear the sighs behind him.

"You're so imposing, Senior Sister Mu Xi." Xu Yue looks at the girl beside him and jokes with a smile.

"That's right, the way Senior Sister Mu Xi stepped in to save the day just now was so cool!" Xu Xiaoyan blinks her eyes and offers the same praise.

"That goes without saying!" Hearing their praise, Mu Xi lifts her chin, looking quite proud. "You two should go and ask around about my reputation at Eastsea Academy."

Regarding this, Xu Yue is well aware.

Ever since Mu Xi's Martial Soul underwent a transformation under the influence of the Star of Eden, the speed of her soul power cultivation and her progress in forging techniques have both improved significantly.

At this moment, Mu Xi is in the fifth year of the Eastsea Academy Intermediate Division, a level 37 Soul Elder with the Blazing Sun Martial Soul and a level three forging master.

Yes, Mu Xi's Martial Soul is no longer Radiant Sun.

The "radiance" of Radiant Sun was merely a shine, whereas Blazing Sun is not only dazzling but also far more scorching than before.

The evolution of her Martial Soul drove an increase in her cultivation talent, causing her cultivation speed to accelerate like a whirlwind over the past two years, as if she were making up for all the time she had lost in previous years.

Just then, a muffled male voice suddenly comes from behind the three of them.

"Xiaoyan!!"

Hearing this familiar call, Xu Xiaoyan's smile freezes, and she looks back with a somewhat dazed expression.

"Brother, why are you here too?!"

As soon as Xu Xiaoyan says this, Xu Xiaoyu, who is hurrying over, stops in his tracks, his face twitching slightly.

What does she mean by... why is he here too?

He has been here the whole time, hasn't he?

Beside him, Ouyang Zixin covers her lips with a delicate hand, chuckling at Xu Xiaoyu's expression before looking at Xu Xiaoyan.

"Xiaoyan, that's not very nice of you."

"Mm... I know, Sister Zixin!" Xu Xiaoyan's face flushes slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I'll be more careful in the future."

"Brother Xiaoyu, long time no see."

Xu Yue speaks up at the right moment, breaking the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Xu Xiaoyu's expression remained somewhat unpleasant, though he still nodded in response to Xu Yue's greeting.

He was quite satisfied with this man his father had vaguely designated as his future brother-in-law, whether it concerned his talent, personality, or other traits.

However, as Xu Xiaoyu's gaze swept imperceptibly over Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi on either side of Xu Yue, the corner of his eye twitched slightly.

This was the only thing he found quite objectionable.

"Alright, alright!" Mu Xi waved her hand at the two of them. "You two go do whatever you need to do; I'll take good care of A-Yue and Xiaoyan!"

After saying this, she led the two of them toward the dormitory building.

"Alright, stop looking, they're already far away." Ouyang Zixin looked at Xu Xiaoyu, who was still standing in place, and said crossly.

"That's my sister!" Xu Xiaoyu gritted his teeth, watching the three figures depart with a sense of indignation.

"It's been so long, haven't you gotten used to it yet?!"

Ouyang Zixin's expression was somewhat helpless. "Look at how well they get along, don't they? A-Yue isn't going to bully Xiaoyan!"

"But... that's my sister!" Xu Xiaoyu remained somewhat unreconciled.

Hearing this, Ouyang Zixin rolled her eyes.

I know! You sister-complex!

Under the guidance of the genius girl Mu Xi, Xu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan quickly handled all their affairs.

When he opened the dormitory door, the familiar figures that appeared inside made him pause in his tracks.

"Jinxi? Yangzi?"

"Brother Yue, you're here!" Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi both revealed smiles upon seeing Xu Yue's arrival.

"Brother Yue! Don't forget me!"

Xu Yue looked over at the voice, and it was indeed Wei Xiaofeng.

"What a coincidence?" Xu Yue said with a smile.

However, he understood in his heart that this must have been an arrangement by the school.

He quickly tidied up his bed and looked at the three of them.

"Do you want to go eat together in a while?"

"Really?" Wang Jinxi's expression brightened.

"Something's not right." Zhang Yangzi shook his head seriously. "Xiaofeng, go to the door and take a look."

Hearing this, Wei Xiaofeng's figure moved like a cyan shadow, reaching the door in an instant.

When Wei Xiaofeng returned, he spread his hands toward Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi with an "as expected" expression on his face.

"Senior Sister Mu Xi and Sister Xiaoyan are both waiting in the hallway!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi exchanged a glance and clicked their tongues. "We don't want to do something as awkward as being a third wheel."

Back at the Primary Academy, it wasn't as if Xu Yue hadn't invited them to go out and hang out before.

But every time Xu Xiaoyan or Mu Xi were present, the atmosphere would make the three of them feel incredibly uncomfortable.

"Alright then!" Xu Yue shrugged helplessly. "If you guys aren't going, then forget it. See you in the classroom!"
