The Sharp-Horned Alien's Mysterious Experience

"If I had known the primary Spirit Ascension Platform couldn't handle it, I wouldn't have used the Specium Ray..."

Thinking back to being forcibly logged out of the Spirit Ascension Platform, Lan Kai felt even more annoyed.

"Indeed. You could have defeated those century-level soul beasts without firing a beam."

"Even if that Gu Yue is more annoying to you than that guy who loves to invalidate others' lives, you shouldn't have fired it just to show off, right?"

Juggler looked at Gu Lie with a bit of schadenfreude. Although he had made the virtual space of the Spirit Ascension Platform more stable, due to cost constraints, the space of the primary platform wasn't that robust.

After all, Juggler hadn't expected the opponents in the primary Spirit Ascension Platform to be enough to make Lan Kai fire a beam.

However, Juggler did not object to Lan Kai's attitude toward Gu Yue.

Because whenever he watched Lan Kai and Gu Yue interact, he would mentally project himself onto Lan Kai and Asuka Shin onto Gu Yue.

Seeing Asuka Shin repeatedly suffer defeat before him, even needing his active intervention to survive—even if it were just a fantasy—was enough to make Juggler's smile impossible to suppress.

"Can't help it. Who told that Gu Yue to come and beg me?"

"If it were you, Teacher, and Asuka Shin knelt before you, begging for your forgiveness, then..."

"Then I would slash him without mercy to see how this Warrior of Light would respond."

Although Juggler's words were ruthless, the corners of his mouth curled up even more noticeably. He already possessed the flair of the exaggerated facial expressions seen in the Ultraman Orb TV series.

"By the way, Teacher, since you already met the powerhouses of the major factions back then, why did you ask me about certain things?"

Lan Kai recalled what Juggler had said to him previously at the Spirit Pagoda, and combined with the questions Juggler had asked him after they first met, the contradictions were becoming apparent.

Since Juggler had already dealt with the top powerhouses of the major factions, why did he need to ask him those things, and why did he show such an incredulous expression?

"Because, although I sensed that some of them were wrong, I didn't expect them to be that absurd."

"Moreover, I initially focused my energy on the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult. I didn't expect there to be so many people who might possess the Dark Ring; it's even more casual than Beliarok's requirements for choosing a wielder."

"Only Vice Pagoda Master Leng seems more normal than the others. Plus, the Spirit Pagoda makes it easy to collect intelligence on soul masters worldwide, which can be of some help to my actions."

"So, I accepted her invitation and became the fifth Spirit Envoy of the Spirit Pagoda."

"Looking at it now, this was indeed the most correct choice."

Recalling his encounters and experiences with the famous powerhouses on the continent, Juggler couldn't help but shake his head.

Compared to when he went to the Earth of Ultraman Z, Juggler's experiences in the Douluo World were even more spectacular and complex.

However, since Juggler was unwilling to speak further, Lan Kai would not press the issue.

There was just one thing Lan Kai was very concerned about but didn't dare to ask: Juggler's secretary, Yan Yu.

If Lan Kai's memory was correct, the name of Juggler's former disciple was Yu Yan.

Was this really just a coincidence?

Although Lan Kai had no memory of Yu Yan's appearance, and he had only watched a few clips of Ultraman Orb: The Origin Saga—along with the "King of Posing" opening the sea and some scenes related to Evolute—Lan Kai did not believe the name was merely a coincidence.

However, Yu Yan was likely a permanent wound in Juggler's heart, and Lan Kai didn't dare to ask about it casually.

Perhaps one day, he could learn about it from Yan Yu herself or Vice Pagoda Master Leng.

Eastsea Academy.

Although Grade One Class Five failed to defeat Grade One Class 1 in the Class Promotion Tournament and create the so-called "Miracle of the Black Five," the strength displayed by the first-year students was recognized by the management of Eastsea Academy.

Moreover, whether it was Grade One Class 1 or Grade One Class Five, if they continued to challenge higher grades, the senior students of the intermediate department would likely be completely steamrolled by them.

Therefore, the management of Eastsea Academy exercised their world-shaking wisdom and gathered the most outstanding students of the first year, providing them with the academy's best teaching staff for guidance.

As long as these students could produce results, they could completely reverse the awkward status of Eastsea Academy and let the entire institution soar to new heights.

Ultimately, a brand-new class appeared at Eastsea Academy, with the academy's top expert Wu Zhangkong as the homeroom teacher, and members including Lan Kai, Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie.

Somewhat tragically, Wei Xiaofeng should have been qualified to join Grade 1 Class 0, but because his soul spirit had been sliced in two by Lan Kai's Ultra Slash, he was unable to display the ability recognized by Eastsea Academy during this period. Consequently, he was unfortunately excluded during the selection phase.

As for the contract that needed to be signed to join Grade 1 Class 0, there wasn't one for Lan Kai.

Are you kidding? Although Lan Kai was an orphan, the person who adopted him was the fifth Spirit Envoy of the Spirit Pagoda, whose status in the Spirit Pagoda was second only to the Pagoda Master and Vice Pagoda Master. Eastsea Academy was not Shrek Academy; even if they had lost their minds, they wouldn't dare use a contract full of loopholes to constrain Lan Kai!

The classroom for Grade 1 Class 0 was no different from any other, but because there were only six students, the room felt exceptionally empty.

Lan Kai chose a seat relatively closer to the front door. Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi sat next to him, while Tang Wulin and Xie Xie sat on the other side, clearly still brooding over their loss in the Class Promotion Tournament.

As for Gu Yue's position, it left everyone confused.

She sat directly in the middle, at the exact midpoint of the line connecting Tang Wulin's and Lan Kai's seats, as if she had measured it with a ruler beforehand.

Gu Yue: Kidding, my Silver Dragon King eyes are the ruler!

When Wu Zhangkong walked into the classroom and saw this strange scene, he didn't quite understand it, but since it was just seating, it shouldn't affect the lecture, so he didn't care.

"From today on, your curriculum will change."

"Today's theory lesson covers mecha and Battle Armor, followed by practical training."

"The specific content of the practical training will be basic combat techniques."
