Though he still felt terrible inside,
this was already the best-case scenario. At least Gu Yue wasn't with Brother Ji, and his little sister's familial affection for him hadn't turned into something else.
Tang Wulin had no choice.
When it came to Na'er, he was genuinely both scared and embarrassed now.
He wasn't even that thrilled about her awakening a Martial Soul anymore.
"Silver Dragon Spear?"
"Another Dragon-type Martial Soul."
Wu Zhangkong wasn't surprised in the slightest anymore.
His smile was bitter and forlorn.
Bing'er, was it because you wished to the Lord of the Netherworld after you died, asking him not to leave me alone, that all these dragons had gathered around me?
Long Bing, Long Bing, now there are dragons all around me!
"What's wrong with Teacher Wu?"
Xie Xie quietly poked Wang Jinxi and asked in a low voice.
"I think he's seeing something and remembering someone."
Wang Jinxi answered offhandedly.
"Could Wulin's little sister look like Wu Zhangkong's ex-girlfriend?"
Xie Xie guessed.
Then again, Wulin's little sister was truly beautiful!
Beautiful enough to take your breath away.
She still fell a little short of Brother Ji, but she was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen.
There was no way Xie Xie would dare pursue her. She was so beautiful, it made him feel inferior...
He didn't approve of Gu Yue pursuing Brother Ji,
but he wholeheartedly supported Wulin's little sister and Brother Ji as a couple!
"Wulin, you've been hiding a lot, huh!"
"Your little sister's teacher can even make Teacher Wu stand at attention..."
"Teacher Wu is both strong and proud. His strength when he fought Guang Biao was beyond question. He's practically the strongest person in Eastsea City!"
"If even he stood at attention, just imagine how incredible your little sister's teacher must be!"
Xie Xie gave Tang Wulin a resentful look, his mouth running nonstop.
This guy was always going on about being from the countryside, but he had such an incredible little sister. Was he messing with them?
"That's Na'er's teacher. What does that have to do with me?"
Tang Wulin rolled his eyes. Na'er being amazing had nothing to do with him.
He'd never thought of attaching himself to someone powerful. He was content just being himself.
"Fine, fine. You're so above it all."
Xie Xie couldn't be bothered to argue.
"What are some people talking about?"
"If you can't keep your mouth shut, I'll shut it for you."
Wu Zhangkong came back to himself, his voice icy. A chill shot straight to Xie Xie's crown.
Xie Xie immediately quieted down.
"Come here, all of you."
Wu Zhangkong strode out of Class Zero's classroom with a swagger.
Everyone followed.
Ji Fengyu felt wonderful.
Being surrounded by Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Na'er felt wonderful and safe.
His Soul Power circulated at least 30% faster, too.
In just this short while, his Soul Power at level 28 had already begun catching up to level 29.
"Brother."
Na'er was in the group too. She moved over to Tang Wulin.
"Na'er?!"
But Tang Wulin backed away a full step, as though he'd just run into a demoness.
He couldn't look his little sister in the eye anymore!
"Brother..."
Na'er blinked her big eyes in a wounded way, a crystalline tear seeming ready to roll down her cheek at any moment.
Sigh...
Tang Wulin had no choice but to dodge over to Ji Fengyu.
Na'er took the opportunity to follow him,
and so Ji Fengyu was thoroughly surrounded by Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Na'er.
My Soul Power's increased again...
He didn't dislike this feeling, either.
At this rate,
he'd break through to level 29 in less than a week and reach level 30 within a month!
Wonderful...
"We're here."
Before long, Wu Zhangkong led everyone to a silver room with an extremely high-tech feel.
"To evaluate your abilities and come up with suitable teaching plans, we'll test your physical stats before classes officially begin."
Wu Zhangkong's eyes gleamed.
He was looking forward to seeing what kind of surprises these little monsters would bring him.
"Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi."
They began with a mental-power test.
Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi scored 52 and 36 points respectively. (100 points = Spirit Connection Realm)
"That much?!"
Both of them were shocked by the results.
Xie Xie had tested at the start of the school year and scored 29 points. Wang Jinxi's result had been even worse; he'd scored just 16 last time.
The improvements their Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Dark had brought them were subtle, but greater than they'd imagined.
"Tang Wulin."
Wu Zhangkong was even more eager to see the result.
After all, he knew that Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi, though famous for their Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Dark, were only small fry in this little Dragon Clan group.
"88 points!"
Thanks to the Golden Dragon King's essence, the Golden Wind Power, and various other factors, Tang Wulin's mental power was now terrifying.
Wu Zhangkong's expression shifted almost imperceptibly, but he knew the main event was still to come.
"Gu Yue, 188 points!"
Even Wu Zhangkong drew a sharp breath at that result.
188 at the first ring?
Terrifying!
"Hmph. I'm exactly a hundred points higher than you."
Gu Yue stood tall, piercing Tang Wulin's poor little heart with a disdainful look.
"Ji Fengyu, 360 points!"
But when Ji Fengyu's result appeared, everyone present went numb.
How much?
360?!
"My Soul Power is already close to level 29. For a level-29 Soul Grandmaster, this mental power is perfectly reasonable, right?"
"And absorbing Rainbow can increase my mental power, too."
Ji Fengyu explained.
Only then did everyone come to their senses a little.
If absorbing Rainbow could increase his mental power, then they could understand that outrageous number.
Fifty-two consecutive days of rainbows!
Eastsea City had become world-famous as Rainbow City. Ji Fengyu had really hit the jackpot!
"Na'er."
Wu Zhangkong took a moment to calm himself before testing Na'er's mental power last.
She got the same result as Tang Wulin: 88 points.
Next, they tested strength.
Gu Yue lifted 150 kilograms with both hands; Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi managed 800 kilograms, and Tang Wulin managed 1,800.
Ji Fengyu... 2,000 kilograms.
Everyone: ??????
Ji Fengyu: "We in the Body Sect have trained our bodies from childhood and practiced secret techniques. It's perfectly reasonable for me to be a little stronger."
Meanwhile.
"Level 98!!!"
Long Yeyue was horrified to discover that her Soul Power had begun to fall!
Her face was growing old!
Without her Martial Soul, her Soul Power was like water without a source. Every bit she used was gone for good.
Even if she didn't use her Soul Power, she would naturally lose one level a day!
If she used her Soul Power, she could lose dozens of levels in a single fight!
"My Soul Power! My Soul Power!"
"Where's Yun Ming?"
"Get him in here!"
Long Yeyue roared.
How was Yun Ming's mission going?
Had he found her Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Dark?
Had he found them yet?
In her terror, Long Yeyue wanted to grab Yun Ming by the collar and demand answers.
But as for going back to Eastsea City to investigate herself?
She didn't dare!
The strength test continued, but Wu Zhangkong was getting a little manic.
"Tang Wulin, activate your scales!"
Boom!!!
2,900 kilograms!
"Tang Wulin, use your Dragon Claw!"
Boom——!
4,200 kilograms!
"Ji Fengyu, give Tang Wulin your full boost!"
Boom——!!!!
8,848 kilograms!
"Ji Fengyu, give Tang Wulin your full boost, and put Ji Fengyu's life in danger!"
Wu Zhangkong pointed the Heavenly Frost Sword at Ji Fengyu.
Boom!
Tang Wulin's eyes turned bloodshot, and he panted like a bull.
This time, the strength tester was smashed to pieces!
10,000 kilograms!
10,000 kilograms!!!!
With Ji Fengyu's boosts from both colors, and Ji Fengyu's life in danger,
Tang Wulin could unleash a strength of 10,000 kilograms!
