Gu Yue

As an auxiliary-type soul master, practicing the Body Sect's secret technique, the Flawless Golden Body, to save one's own life—that's perfectly reasonable, right?

Ji Fengyu's body was a bit hard.

Duang~~

So, when Zhang Yangzi crashed into his Wing Shield Cocoon, it ended in tragedy; he slammed into it head-first, blood streaming down his face.

Like a bird hitting a glass window, he fell straight down.

"Big Brother!! Hm...?"

Wei Xiaofeng, who had turned back to rescue Ji Fengyu, let out an exclamation that cut off abruptly, stuck in his throat.

What was going on here?

Zhang Yangzi, an agility-attack type, had attempted to assassinate Ji Fengyu, yet Ji Fengyu hadn't dodged or parried, instead meeting him head-on, and it was Zhang Yangzi who had been knocked down?

But stunned or not, one still had to strike while the iron was hot.

Wei Xiaofeng immediately unleashed his Green Shadow Devour, ruthlessly kicking Zhang Yangzi while he was down.

Whoosh!

Ye Yingluo rescued Zhang Yangzi with a look of pleasant surprise; she had never expected an auxiliary-type soul master to have such formidable defensive power!

Was it because of his beast soul, his dragon soul?

A rare beast soul auxiliary-type was truly extraordinary!

"Damn it, I was careless!"

Zhang Yangzi felt a wave of annoyance. As an agility-attack control-type, his physique was naturally fragile, and since he hadn't expected Ji Fengyu to be so tough, he had ended up making a fool of himself instead of pulling off a brilliant backline dive.

"Hehe, Jinxi, just admit defeat!"

"You are no longer my match."

If this were before, Wei Xiaofeng certainly wouldn't have been Wang Jinxi's match, but he had the Rainbow Dragon to assist him now!

With the boosts to strength and attack, plus Ji Fengyu holding the line in the air, the outcome could be considered decided.

"Sigh, I admit defeat."

Wang Jinxi glanced at Ji Fengyu and Wei Xiaofeng, then looked at the defeated Zhang Yangzi, and shook his head.

Zhang Yangzi had lost too quickly;

otherwise, even if they didn't resort to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they would have still had a fighting chance.

But there was no helping it; his mobility was slow, and he couldn't fly yet, so the backline dive had to be left to Zhang Yangzi.

Furthermore, Wang Jinxi felt he could not bring himself to be an enemy of Ji Fengyu.

Normally, when he was with Ji Fengyu, he felt warm all over, refreshed and invigorated, as if his luck had turned around.

But the moment even a hint of hostility or battle intent arose, his Bone Dragon King soul would tremble in fear, and his soul power would struggle to circulate, as if he were committing some heinous, treasonous act.

Wang Jinxi was absolutely certain that he could not be an enemy of Ji Fengyu.

At the same time, Zhang Yangzi's failure wasn't entirely a bad thing; at the very least, it let them know that an auxiliary like Ji Fengyu wasn't so easy to take down.

"Next, switch teams."

"Ji Fengyu and Wang Jinxi, one team."

"Zhang Yangzi and Wei Xiaofeng, one team."

After confirming that Zhang Yangzi was in no serious condition, Ye Yingluo swapped the pairings of the four students.

"Teacher, we admit defeat!"

However, before the fight could even begin this time, Zhang Yangzi and Wei Xiaofeng immediately conceded.

With those two dragon souls on one team, they had absolutely no chance of winning!

The Rainbow Dragon was too biased!

"Teacher, both of them have dragon souls; they are naturally compatible. With Big Brother's buffs, Jinxi's strength can double—we can't fight that."

Zhang Yangzi said with a bitter, slightly jealous expression.

He used to be Jinxi's best friend in the world, but ever since Big Brother appeared, the situation seemed a bit off...

"Such a thing exists?!"

Ye Yingluo was both surprised and delighted; such a situation usually pointed toward a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Could it be that these two students possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

If so, there was no need to continue the trial.

Ji Fengyu and Zhang Yangzi both possessed excellent flight capabilities; those two could not be on the same team.

The results of the group consisting of Ji Fengyu, Wei Xiaofeng, and Wang Jinxi were now apparent.

Clearly, Ji Fengyu was capable of exerting absolute dominance!

"You all go down and rest first."

"I have some matters to attend to and will be gone for a while; you all help keep an eye on everyone running their laps."

Ye Yingluo's heart burned with excitement, and she couldn't wait to find the Dean to report the situation.

A major discovery!

Although it was only a sparring match, Ji Fengyu's excellence was already evident; even if he were placed in the legendary Shrek Academy, he would be a top-tier student!

No wonder he was arrogant; the boy had the capital to be proud.

Watching Ye Yingluo leave in a whirlwind, the four of them—Ji Fengyu and his group—looked at each other, then obediently took on the role of supervisors, watching their classmates run laps.

Although running laps was grueling, they weren't the ones running, after all...

Eastsea Academy Dean's Office.

"Ji Fengyu, that's not surprising."

"He is a genius ranked 28th on the Youth Genius Ranking. In the future, when you teach him, just follow his ideas completely."

After hearing Ye Yingluo's report, Dean Long Hengxu did not feel surprised.

He even explicitly told Ye Yingluo not to interfere with Ji Fengyu.

The influence behind such a genius was beyond what they could imagine; there was no need for Ye Yingluo to be bossy.

In Long Hengxu's view, apart from Wu Zhangkong, no one in their academy was qualified to teach Ji Fengyu.

Perhaps the boy had come specifically for Wu Zhangkong?

After all, aside from Wu Zhangkong, Long Hengxu really couldn't figure out what Ji Fengyu would want from their small, run-down place.

"The Youth Genius Ranking?"

Ye Yingluo was stunned; she hadn't expected Ji Fengyu's background to be even greater than she had imagined.

She had absolutely no objection to Long Hengxu telling her to leave Ji Fengyu alone.

For a prominent figure from the Youth Genius Ranking to come to a small place like theirs was already a condescension; if she were to meddle further...

Knock, knock!

The door to the Dean's office was knocked.

"Come in."

Long Hengxu shouted, and then Wu Zhangkong pushed the door open, holding Gu Yue's letter.

Seeing Wu Zhangkong, Ye Yingluo's pretty face darkened visibly.

As for Long Hengxu, his expression became strange.

Speak of the devil; he had just been thinking about the issue of Wu Zhangkong and Ji Fengyu.

"Dean, I'll be going first."

Ye Yingluo glared at Wu Zhangkong, her composure shattered, before walking away quickly.

Wu Zhangkong didn't even spare her a glance, focusing entirely on handling Gu Yue's matter.

"There is no problem with this matter regarding Gu Yue."

"But I have another file here that I need you to look at."

Long Hengxu studied Gu Yue's letter and set it aside; compared to Gu Yue, he was more concerned about Ji Fengyu.

"Fine."

Wu Zhangkong took the file handed over by Long Hengxu and glanced at it. His pupils trembled slightly, and his expression turned serious.

Rainbow Dragon Ji Fengyu.

A rising star of the Youth Genius Ranking—what was he doing here?

"Wu Zhangkong, after the class promotion tournament, how about we transfer Ji Fengyu to your care?"

This was the best teaching resource their Eastsea Academy could offer.

"I have no problem with that."

Wu Zhangkong put down the file, his eyes returning to calm, though his thoughts drifted, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Ahem, Wulin, let's go, let's go find Brother Ji to hang out."

Xie Xie, having been suppressed by Gu Yue, felt a bit stifled and decided to find Ji Fengyu after class to clear his head.

He discovered that as long as he was with Ji Fengyu, he felt better.

Moreover, after being won over by Tang Wulin these past few days, he didn't care as much about the grudge of the smashed bowl; instead, he and Tang Wulin had become a pair of brothers in misfortune.

The Golden Dragon King aura was still too powerful.

"Didn't you say before that the geniuses of Class One and the trash of Class Five weren't on the same path?"

Tang Wulin gave him a strange look.

"That was before, hehe, now that I'm also trash from Class Five, just forget about those words."

Xie Xie offered a thick-skinned excuse, then dragged Tang Wulin along with him.

He felt it wouldn't be quite right to go find Ji Fengyu all by himself.

Xie Xie couldn't quite bring himself to lose face, so having Tang Wulin accompany him made it much better.

"Alright then."

In truth, Tang Wulin also quite wanted to go.

"Who are you two going to find?"

"Who is Brother Ji?"

Gu Yue suddenly appeared between the two of them, startling them so much they both shuddered.

"Damn, Gu Yue, are you trying to scare someone to death!"

Xie Xie clutched his chest, glaring at Gu Yue with dissatisfaction.

Gu Yue ignored Xie Xie, her eyes fixed intently on Tang Wulin, waiting for his answer.

"Brother Ji is a friend we met when we were registering; he's from Class One."

"Xie Xie says he's even a genius on the Youth Genius Ranking."

Tang Wulin didn't think too much of it; he wasn't a vain person, but he was still quite proud to be friends with Ji Fengyu.

"I'm going too."

Gu Yue stared straight at Tang Wulin.

"If you want to come, then let's go together."

Tang Wulin felt that the Gu Yue before him was a bit annoying, but he couldn't bring himself to refuse, so he could only agree while feeling uncomfortable inside.
