Gu Yue had just fallen asleep when she jolted awake.
In such a dangerous situation, with a wife to protect, how could she lose herself in dreamland?
Thump!
The moment she woke, Gu Yue went looking for Ji Fengyu.
Then she saw that her soft, fragrant little pillow had turned into a fierce, domineering dinosaur.
Gu Yue: ????
"Am I still dreaming?"
Gu Yue rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze.
Who could tell her how her soft, fragrant little pillow-wife had turned into a muscle-bound hunk?
"Uh..."
Ji Fengyu was a little embarrassed.
"As you can see, my Second Martial Soul is my skin. I use it to train my body. You know about the Body Sect, right?"
"Real men. Fighting feels great."
"A little muscle is perfectly normal."
Ji Fengyu stiffly pulled some clothes out of his Storage Soul Tool and put them on. He immediately looked refined and handsome again.
The kind of body that looked muscular without clothes and slender when dressed.
Still elegant and noble.
But Gu Yue couldn't look at Ji Fengyu the same way anymore.
The guy looked so elegant and scholarly, but beneath his clothes was the body of a raging beast!
"Do Tang Wulin and Xie Xie know you have a Second Martial Soul?"
Gu Yue sounded a little aggrieved.
His secret was buried way too deep!
No wonder his skin was so good that it made her feel inferior. His Martial Soul really was his skin!
"They don't."
Ji Fengyu gave a light cough. Actually, he hadn't planned to let Gu Yue find out either. Who could've guessed she'd stumble onto it...
"So that means I'm the first to know you have a Second Martial Soul?!"
Gu Yue's eyes lit up.
So what if Tang Wulin was Ji Fengyu's roommate? He still didn't know Fengyu had a Second Martial Soul!
She was the special one...
"More or less."
Ji Fengyu felt a little tickle in his nose, but he wasn't the hero of some novel who had a habit of touching his nose every other minute.
"You really kept that hidden."
Now that she had her answer, Gu Yue was delighted. If she'd had a tail in human form, it would've been wagging up into the sky.
She was the first to know Ji Fengyu had a Skin Martial Soul!
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie didn't know!
For a moment, Gu Yue sweetly decided that Ji Fengyu's wild, shirt-bursting look had been pretty handsome, too.
That contrast—
She liked it... Hehe.
Thinking back on it carefully, it was even more wonderful. Abs like jade bricks—what a top-quality beauty...
"Classmate Gu Yue, please wipe up your drool!"
Ji Fengyu backed away in alarm.
His Flawless Golden Body would let him fight while pinning down his enemies and having his way with them later on, but he couldn't lose his purity this early!
Silver Dragon King, show some restraint!
"Huh? Oh."
Gu Yue came to her senses and hurriedly wiped away her drool.
Whoosh!
A pink blur rushed over from behind. It was the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python, which had felt awkward after barging in on an intimate moment.
Gu Yue had bolted as soon as she woke up. The python had chased after her, but it couldn't keep up with her Teleportation.
"Come back."
Ji Fengyu recalled the Rouge Soft-Muscle Python with a slightly exasperated look.
"This Rouge Soft-Muscle Python is your Spirit Soul?"
Gu Yue was a little surprised.
When she'd just woken up, she'd found herself surrounded by an unfamiliar Rouge Soft-Muscle Python, while Ji Fengyu was nowhere to be seen.
She'd almost killed the python...
Luckily, she could sense Ji Fengyu. She'd realized he wasn't inside the python's stomach, but somewhere outside.
So she'd left the python alone and gone to find Ji Fengyu.
"Rouge is the Spirit Soul of my Second Martial Soul."
"Don't slack off. Stay alert."
Ji Fengyu switched to his Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul and channeled Crimson Strength and Orange Attack into Gu Yue.
The best boosts for Gu Yue would've been Soul Power Boost and an attribute boost, but Ji Fengyu couldn't provide either of those yet.
All he could do was boost the squishy mage toward becoming a glass cannon.
"Got it."
Gu Yue blushed bright red.
She hadn't expected Ji Fengyu's aura to feel so comfortable. She'd just been too sleepy and couldn't resist the tender warmth...
It was only natural.
"How many more years does your Spirit Soul need before it can upgrade?"
"Leave it to me."
Wanting to show off in front of Ji Fengyu, Gu Yue puffed out her chest and volunteered.
"Another eighteen Thousand-Year Soul Spirits."
Gu Yue's confident expression froze.
Eighteen Thousand-Year Soul Spirits?
Uh... Maybe she'd bitten off more than she could chew. She shouldn't have bragged.
In the end, after hunting three Thousand-Year Soul Spirits and more than a dozen hundred-year Soul Spirits, Ji Fengyu and Gu Yue left the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Gu Yue's cultivation was too low, and she'd wasted a lot of Soul Power at first. Later, she'd been utterly worn out.
So Ji Fengyu had switched to his Skin Martial Soul and fought on his own.
"Uh..."
"I wasn't in good form this time. I'll do better next time!"
Gu Yue explained, a little embarrassed.
She hadn't just failed to impress. She'd made a complete fool of herself... It was enough to make a dragon hang its head in shame.
"Mm-hmm. It's getting late. If we don't head back, the dorms will be locked."
Ji Fengyu hadn't really minded.
After all, he had a membership card.
He could come here often.
Besides, Class Zero could enter the Spirit Ascension Platform once a week, and their final exam would be at the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform. This little setback was nothing.
"Fengyu, I really wasn't at my best."
Gu Yue thought Ji Fengyu was angry and immediately grew anxious.
"Gu Yue, before I entered the Spirit Ascension Platform with you, I'd been looking forward to it."
"But you don't make much of an impression on me."
Ji Fengyu seemed reluctant to say it, but he still spoke the words.
Mostly because Gu Yue had performed so badly today.
He was playing support. His teammate had to pull her weight!
Ji Fengyu left, leaving Gu Yue on the verge of tears, the same two words echoing in her mind:
"Average,"
"Average,"
"Average..."
"Brother Ji, you're finally back!"
"Hurry up and cultivate Golden Wind Power!"
In the dormitory.
Tang Wulin had already pushed their beds together. When he saw Ji Fengyu arrive, his face lit up.
Thank goodness Fengyu hadn't spent the night somewhere else...
Wait!
What was going on in that little head of his?
How could he have such a dirty thought? They were all kids!
Tang Wulin's face turned slightly red. It was as if a tiny person in his mind was scolding him for having impure thoughts.
But then Tang Wulin's face darkened. He puffed up in anger, because he could sense Gu Yue's aura!
And it was really strong!
"Sure. Let's cultivate."
Ji Fengyu sat across from Tang Wulin. They pressed their hands together and began cultivating Golden Wind Power.
The auras of the Golden Dragon King and Rainbow Dragon King mingled.
Their cultivation speed increased dramatically.
Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi hurriedly sat down cross-legged, adjusted their breathing, and meditated, making use of the perfect cultivation environment created by Ji Fengyu and Tang Wulin.
They cultivated through the night.
Ji Fengyu's Soul Power had grown stronger, and he felt refreshed.
He was just about to get up and wash when he received a message that shocked him to his core.
"What?!!"
"Xie Xie's Martial Soul turned into the Holy Light Dragon?"
"Wang Jinxi's Martial Soul turned into the Dark Holy Dragon?"
Hiss!!!
Ji Fengyu drew in a sharp breath.
No way?
Tang Wulin and the others might not know where the Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Dark had come from, but how could he not?
That old woman, Dragon Runner, had lost her Martial Soul, too?
Had it run off and ended up in Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi?
