The twenty-one new students followed Wu Changkong and Leng Xue'er toward the Grade 1 Class 5 classroom.
Grade 1 Class 5's classroom was at the very end of the first floor of the teaching building. It took a long time to reach, and it was easy to see from that just how poorly the class was regarded.
After Cheng Duoyi entered the classroom, he took Tang Wuling to the first row by the window. He let her sit on the inside, while he sat beside her.
Seeing this, Xie Xie chose the seat behind Cheng Duoyi, and Yun Xiao naturally sat beside Xie Xie.
Wu Changkong walked to the front of the classroom and turned around. His cold gaze swept over the class. "I'm your homeroom teacher, Wu Changkong. Starting today, I'll be in charge of your instruction. This is Teacher Leng Xue'er, your assistant homeroom teacher."
Leng Xue'er nodded slightly to the students without saying a word.
Many students looked at Wu Changkong and Leng Xue'er curiously. They hadn't expected one to be so handsome and the other so beautiful.
Just then, the classroom door was gently pushed open.
A girl walked in.
She had long black hair, and her eyes were black as well.
She couldn't be called beautiful, but she had a certain grace about her.
As the classroom door opened, the entire room fell silent.
Many classmates looked at her, hoping to see her make a fool of herself.
"Excuse me, does this class still have room for another student?" the girl asked calmly.
As she spoke, her gaze swept around the room. When she saw Cheng Duoyi, her eyes lit up. But when she saw Tang Wuling beside him, she frowned slightly, feeling rather displeased.
Tang Wuling naturally noticed her gaze. Her heart tightened, and she looked nervously at Cheng Duoyi. "Yi'er, who is she? Do we know her?"
Cheng Duoyi naturally knew who she was. It was Gu Yue.
He hadn't expected Gu Yue to arrive so early. By rights, she should have come here tomorrow.
"We don't know each other now, but we'll be classmates from now on. We'll get to know each other," Cheng Duoyi said.
"Oh~" Tang Wuling seemed somewhat distracted.
For some reason, Gu Yue's arrival stirred up strange feelings in Tang Wuling. It was as if, now that she had appeared, Cheng Duoyi could no longer stay by her side forever.
Wu Changkong frowned as he looked at Gu Yue. He had noticed that her gaze had swept around the room before settling on Cheng Duoyi, but he didn't pay it any mind.
"You're not a student at Eastsea Academy?" Wu Changkong asked.
Gu Yue calmly replied, "No, but I want to study here."
"Teacher, I have something to say." Cheng Duoyi stood up.
Leng Xue'er had been keeping an eye on Gu Yue. She realized she couldn't see through her and began to consider investigating this student thoroughly after class. Cheng Duoyi's safety came first.
Hearing Cheng Duoyi speak, she walked over to him gently and asked, "Yi'er, what would you like to say?"
Wu Changkong frowned slightly. Remembering what Leng Xue'er had said before, as well as her strength, he said nothing. He also wanted to hear what Cheng Duoyi had to say.
"Teacher Wu, Sister Xue'er, strictly speaking, the opening ceremony isn't over yet. This student wants to join us, and as long as her level is above ten, she can enroll according to the rules."
"I wonder if Teacher Wu and Sister Xue'er could give her a chance?"
Even without Cheng Duoyi's suggestion, Wu Changkong wasn't an inflexible person. If Gu Yue met his requirements, he would let her enroll.
Wu Changkong said, "As long as she meets the standards, I agree to let her enroll."
Seeing this, Gu Yue was happy.
She wasn't happy because they had agreed to let her enroll.
She was happy because of Cheng Duoyi's attitude.
She and Na'er had completed their awakening ceremony, and their memories were shared. After learning about Cheng Duoyi's situation, Gu Yue had rushed over here as soon as she woke up, without even resting.
She thought of what she had said to Na'er.
"You've been with him for three years. I'll be with him for the next three."
"After three years, we'll each rely on our own abilities to win his heart."
Na'er believed in her place in Cheng Duoyi's heart and agreed.
She had no choice but to agree!
She didn't have the upper hand, after all.
Little Yi's wife can only be me! No, I mean, Little Yi's husband can only be me!
Gu Yue held nothing back.
A yellow Spirit Ring appeared beneath her feet. It was unmistakably a Hundred-Year Soul Ring!
This left all the students dumbfounded. Someone cried out, "Her first Spirit Ring is a Hundred-Year Soul Ring! Why isn't she in Grade 1 Class 1?"
No one paid any attention to what he said. Wu Changkong had already agreed to let Gu Yue enroll, but he hadn't said anything yet.
"Teacher, my name is Gu Yue. I'm at level fifteen, and my Martial Soul is Elemental Master."
"My Martial Soul lets me control several different elements."
"Ice Spike."
As she spoke, a ring of blue light blossomed around her.
Under her control, the blue Ice Spikes flew through the air and precisely struck a nail on the academy rules sign some distance away.
Wu Changkong nodded slightly at such precision, acknowledging Gu Yue's abilities.
Leng Xue'er noticed that Gu Yue's gaze toward Cheng Duoyi was strange, just like Na'er's gaze had been back then. This made her curious.
She also approved of Gu Yue's control over the elements.
For someone her age to reach this level was already quite impressive.
"Fireball."
The blue glow around Gu Yue turned red, and a fiery red Fireball appeared.
Under Gu Yue's control, the Fireball spun in the air.
This scene surprised not only Wu Changkong, but Leng Xue'er as well.
Neither of them knew what kind of Martial Soul could control two elements.
Whatever kind of Martial Soul it was, Gu Yue's spiritual power had to be exceptionally strong!
After all, without strong spiritual power, it would be impossible to control these elements with such precision.
"Light Ball."
"Teleport."
"..."
One ability after another appeared.
So far, six elements had appeared: wind, fire, earth, water, light, and space.
Wu Changkong was utterly stunned.
This didn't make sense!
Normally, a single Martial Soul couldn't control so many elements, let alone manipulate them so skillfully.
But the truth was right before his eyes.
The idea in Wu Changkong's mind grew stronger and stronger.
He wanted to train some students to enter Shrek Academy!
"I approve of your enrollment."
After speaking, Wu Changkong looked at Leng Xue'er. His tone was no longer as calm as before.
"Teacher Leng, I'll go arrange Student Gu Yue's enrollment."
"I'll leave things here to you for now."
Leng Xue'er had also come to appreciate Gu Yue's talent.
Strong spiritual power was highly valued at the Spirit Pagoda. Researching Soul Spirits required powerful spiritual energy; without enough, the work was difficult.
Leng Xue'er said, "All right."
Wu Changkong had already left for the director of studies' office.
Leng Xue'er looked at Gu Yue. "Student Gu Yue, you can take a seat."
Hearing this, Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Happily, she went to the seat on Cheng Duoyi's right and said warmly, "Hello, my name is Gu Yue. What's yours?"
