Youth Genius Ranking! Di Tian!

What Light Dragon Dagger?

I'd rather have a White Tiger Dagger!

Although Tang Wulin's own martial soul was the trash-tier Blue Silver Grass, he refused to submit to this overbearing city boy, Xie Xie.

It's just a small dagger.

In his assessment, it wasn't even as good as Wan Yunchao's kitchen knife!

"You're asking for a beating!"

Xie Xie was instantly enraged, though he held back from lashing out because Ji Fengyu was standing right there.

Fortunately, a bad uncle sidled over at this moment.

"Little friends, what are your names?"

"Where are your parents?"

Only then did Tang Wulin and Xie Xie share a common enemy, shielding the support behind them as they quickly put distance between themselves and the middle-aged man.

"Let's go!"

"That was close..."

After walking a distance away, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin let out a sigh of relief.

They had run into a bad person...

Xie Xie signaled to a man in black in the distance, and the man immediately vanished into the crowd.

Then, looking to claim credit, he patted his chest in front of Ji Fengyu:

"How about it, Brother Ji? Be my teammate in the future; I'll protect you!"

Xie Xie was precocious and knew very well how awesome it would be to have a Rainbow Dragon soul master as a teammate.

He had to make his move early for such a trump-card support.

Besides, he genuinely admired Ji Fengyu's personal charisma...

"We can talk about the future later."

Ji Fengyu had already arrived at the Eastsea Academy reception desk.

He politely declined Xie Xie's invitation to form a team and handed over his information.

Hearing Ji Fengyu reject Xie Xie, Tang Wulin felt his hand, which had been gripping the corner of his shirt, suddenly loosen.

Xie Xie wasn't discouraged by the rejection and was about to say something else when he heard the senior student receiving them gasp in shock:

"Ji Fengyu, 9 years old, Huaguo City Primary Soul Master Academy, level 23 Soul Grand Master, martial soul Rainbow Dragon!"

"Wait,"

"Are you the Ji Fengyu from the Youth Genius Ranking?"

"The 'How can one see a rainbow without going through wind and rain' Ji Fengyu?!"

As luck would have it, The senior student receiving the three of them was a fan of Ji Fengyu.

With her exclamation, the information sheet in her hand dropped directly onto the table, drawing gasps of amazement from those around them.

Ji Fengyu was already the center of attention due to his exceptionally striking appearance, But this shout from the senior student made things even more intense.

He was instantly surrounded by layer upon layer of people.

"Ji Fengyu, I'm your fan! Can I have your autograph?"

"Can we take a photo together?"

"Can I add your contact information?"

Little Xie Xie and Tang Wulin were squeezed right out by the frenzied crowd.

Tang Wulin plopped down onto the ground, his face dazed.

Level 23?

Ji Fengyu was actually a level 23 Soul Grand Master?!

Good heavens, a 9-year-old Soul Grand Master!

And his popularity was just too high!

Tang Wulin didn't know what to say; at the same age, he was only level 11.

The sense of affinity that had given him courage vanished in an instant, replaced by inferiority and a sense of shame.

He and Ji Fengyu were simply not on the same path!

"I didn't expect him to be that Ji Fengyu... Oh my, wind and rain, rainbow dragon—I should have guessed it sooner!"

"I'm definitely making friends with this guy!"

"We're classmates anyway, and the early bird gets the worm!"

Xie Xie, who had also been squeezed out, slapped his forehead in frustration, but he quickly became even more spirited.

He didn't share Tang Wulin's sense of inferiority; instead, he saw an opportunity.

"You know about Ji Fengyu too?"

Tang Wulin couldn't help but ask again.

Judging by everyone's reactions, Ji Fengyu's background seemed far from simple, leaving little Wulin both bewildered and curious.

Out of sympathy for their shared plight, Xie Xie stopped mocking him and explained:

"The Youth Genius Ranking is a sub-list of the Continental Wind and Cloud Ranking, created by the Spirit Pagoda for soul masters."

"It specifically records all sorts of young geniuses."

"There are 30 spots in total, representing the 30 most gifted individuals among the youth of the continent in this generation!"

"Ji Fengyu is ranked 28th."

"Although his ranking is on the lower end, he is the only one who made the list before the age of 10; everyone ahead of him is in their teens."

"Many people predict that before Ji Fengyu turns 18, he will be able to charge into the top three of the Youth Genius Ranking!"

"I don't know why a genius like that would come to a small place like ours, but regardless, this is our chance to latch onto a big shot!"

Xie Xie said with a sycophantic grin.

Tang Wulin was somewhat dazed.

So, he really was among the most outstanding geniuses on the continent!

"Damn it!"

"Spirit Pagoda, I told you guys to keep a low profile!"

"I'm already handsome enough as it is, and then you go and put me on some Youth Genius Ranking? It's become a nuisance just to go outside!"

"Also, I really hate that saying: 'How can one see a rainbow without experiencing the wind and rain!'"

If it weren't for the fact that the Spirit Pagoda had gifted him a high-quality soul spirit for free, Ji Fengyu would have already started cursing out loud.

Truly, fame is as dangerous as being a fat pig ready for slaughter.

The commotion was only quelled once the enforcement squad arrived.

Boarding the academy bus, Ji Fengyu irritably found a seat by the window in the back, pulled the curtain shut, and buried his head to sleep.

"Ahem!"

"Move aside, everyone!"

Xie Xie arrived next to Ji Fengyu, and a yellow soul ring suddenly appeared beneath his feet!

Not only were the little brats scared into shrieking, but the parents were also filled with apprehension.

On the other side, Tang Wulin's pupils constricted sharply.

It was actually a hundred-year soul ring!!!

Terrifying!

One had to know that a hundred-year soul ring implied a hundred-year soul spirit, as well as the mental power and physique to withstand it!

To think such a genius was in the same carriage as them—truly terrifying!

After intimidating the crowd, Xie Xie sat down beside Ji Fengyu, satisfied, taking on the role of "guardian of the genius."

He scanned the carriage and finally spotted Tang Wulin.

"Tang Wulin, why are you sitting so far away?"

"Hurry up and come over."

Unaware of Tang Wulin's insecurity, Xie Xie waved enthusiastically and pulled him over.

Then, he began to gloat:

"Hehe, Tang Wulin, Ji Fengyu and I are both in Class One. What class are you in?"

Sigh...

Tang Wulin sighed quietly, clutching his Grade One, Class Five student ID, feeling a bitter taste in his heart.

Ji Fengyu gave him such a sense of familiarity, yet they were destined to be people from different worlds...

The two of them were geniuses in Class One, so why should he, a piece of Blue Silver Grass trash from Class Five, try to join in the fun?

Ji Fengyu slept very soundly, even feeling that his soul power had increased significantly.

The Golden Dragon King was truly a walking cheat code!

He couldn't help but lament that he had been far too cunning.

Back when he was choosing his soul spirit, the Spirit Pagoda's spirit master had tried their best to recommend a sub-dragon type soul spirit to strengthen the Rainbow Dragon's draconic bloodline, but he had firmly chosen the Seven-Colored Crown soul spirit, which was better suited for the support system.

He had made the right choice!

He could simply mooch off Tang Wulin's bloodline!

Those century-level earth dragon soul spirits weren't worth a single hair compared to the aura of the Golden Dragon King.

Dragon-type soul spirits all possessed explosive combat power; it wasn't that support dragons suitable for the Rainbow Dragon were rare, they simply didn't exist at all.

It was far more cost-effective to just choose a support-type soul spirit directly.

Furthermore, because he had studied auto repair in his past life, Ji Fengyu's secondary profession as a mecha repairman had already reached Level 3, which was a major reason he was able to make it onto the Youth Genius Ranking.

The bus drove at a steady pace.

Ji Fengyu pulled back the curtain to watch the bustling traffic outside, the corners of his mouth lifting unconsciously.

Why did he feel that his mood was even more cheerful whenever he was with the Golden Dragon King?

However, in a place where no one could see, Di Tian, who was scouting out Eastsea Academy, stood atop a skyscraper, watching that very bus.

The former Beast God

wore an expression of existential doubt on his face at this moment.

"Matriarch?!"
