The school bell rang, and the classroom instantly erupted into noise.
The students who had been forcibly assigned to groups eagerly sought out their respective teammates.
They gathered in twos and threes, excitedly discussing how to pass the assessment or arranging to familiarize themselves with one another's martial souls.
Chen Doudou stretched lazily and slowly rose from his seat.
Wang Dong was already leaning against the window with her arms folded, looking cool and aloof. She appeared to be admiring the scenery, but the corner of her eye had been glancing this way the entire time.
Xiao Xiao had already tidied up her desk. Her large eyes sparkled as she looked at Chen Doudou with anticipation.

Chen Doudou smiled. "Tell me, where do you want to go? Just so we're clear, I'm not going anywhere too far."
Wang Dong frowned slightly, turned around, and suggested with feigned composure, "Why don't we go to the Soul Fighting Arena and test our strength? It'll be good for the assessment if we figure out each other's soul skills and coordination early."
Xiao Xiao nearly rolled her eyes when she heard that. She stepped forward and glared at Wang Dong irritably. "Wang Dong, what kind of normal teammates go to the Soul Fighting Arena for their first get-together? You're completely unromantic."
"I'm thinking about the assessment!"
Wang Dong's face reddened at her words, and she retorted in embarrassment and irritation, "Shouldn't we get familiar with each other's strength first?"
"But it's almost six, and we haven't even eaten yet!"
Xiao Xiao rubbed her flat stomach and said pitifully, "Brother Doudou, I'm hungry. Can we eat first? We'll only have the strength to go to the Soul Fighting Arena after we're full."
Chen Doudou nodded
