Am I Really a Succubus? Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi's Jealousy!
Is this even possible?
How long has it been since he took an exam?
Do I even need to take the exam if I'm number one on the Genius Ranking?
Gu Yuena thought for a moment and said
I wouldn't know.
Anyway, that's what Teacher Shen said.
Who told you to skip class? You're having a good time, but I'm stuck in jail in class!
Gu Yuena said angrily, "Those things about human knowledge make me sleepy!"
My noble Brain can't handle such weak knowledge!
Tang Wulin felt a pang of jealousy watching Bai Yuan and Gu Yuena interact like this.
So he made up an excuse and said:
"Big Brother Bai, Miss Gu, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Bai Yuan nodded and said:
"Keep it up!"
"Okay! Big Brother Bai, I'll take you as my role model!"
Bai Yuan watched Tang Wulin's retreating figure, then turned his gaze to Gu Yuena.
"He's quite persistent; he comes every few days."
Gu Yuena remained expressionless.
He came looking for you, not me.
Bai Yuan smiled but didn't expose her.
The two walked back to the Teaching Building side by side.
When I pushed open the classroom door, the sounds inside seemed to have been paused, then returned to normal.
After two months of adjustment, the Shrek Academy students have gradually adapted to Bai Yuan's presence and are no longer as nervous or avoidant as they were at the beginning.
Someone glanced up at him, then lowered their head and continued writing.
Someone nodded to him, as if to say hello.
Bai Yuan walked to his usual seat by the window and sat down, with Gu Yuena sitting down beside him.
On the other side of the classroom, Xu Lizhi was sitting carefully next to Ye Xinglan, holding a steamed bun wrapped in oil paper, with steam seeping out from the cracks in the paper.
He turned his head, his gaze falling on Ye Xinglan's profile. After hesitating for a moment, he mustered his courage and spoke:
"Sister Xinglan, would you like something to eat? I brought it for you..."
Ye Xinglan didn't even look up:
"No need, I've already eaten."
The voice was faint, lacking any warmth.
"Okay, sure."
Xu Lizhi sat back in his seat.
After a while, she couldn't help but turn her head and steal a glance at Ye Xinglan.
His fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the table:
It's been forty-nine days, why is Xinglan still not eating the breakfast he brought?
He certainly didn't dare ask, and could only sigh inwardly.
But what he cared about more was that Xinglan had been watching that person's battle videos lately.
That unparalleled prodigy who topped the Youth Genius Ranking.
Although he knew she was studying the fighting styles of strong individuals.
He wanted to learn from it, but he couldn't help but let his mind wander.
He looked away and down at the unopened oil paper package on the table.
Ye Xinglan was watching the recording on the Soul Guidance Screen.
The scene freezes on the moment Bai Yuan cleaved through Tang Dong's Extreme Ice Blizzard with a single sword strike.
She watched that scene repeatedly, as if trying to decipher the trajectory of that sword strike.
Xu Lizhi looked at her profile and sighed inwardly.
She always looked forward, and he always kept chasing.
All he could do was continue bringing her breakfast every day.
Even though she never accepted it.
He glanced at Ye Xinglan again; her profile remained calm.
"Sister Xinglan is so beautiful."
Ye Xinglan snapped out of her daze and her gaze fell on the black figure by the window, who had clearly just arrived.
Her finger paused slightly at the edge of the Soul Guidance Screen.
A barely perceptible ripple appeared in his azure eyes, then he closed the screen and stood up.
She walked to the Bai Yuan table and spoke softly:
Congratulations on reaching number one!
She wasn't at the academy at the time, and by the time she returned, the news had spread throughout Shrek.
She watched the recordings of those battles repeatedly; he not only did it.
Moreover, that sword traveled much further than she had anticipated, already far ahead of her.
Bai Yuan looked up and was slightly surprised to see Ye Xinglan.
He smiled:
"Thanks."
He was somewhat surprised that she would take the initiative to greet him.
His gaze inadvertently swept over Xu Lizhi, who was not far behind Ye Xinglan.
A faint hint of bitterness and helplessness lingered on her round, chubby face.
It's like watching something slowly receding into the distance, yet unable to grasp anything.
Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze and sighed silently in his heart:
Am I a succubus?
Tang Wulin wasn't enough, and now Xu Lizhi is too. Does this mean women will start having feelings for me in the future?
He quickly banished the thought from his mind.
The school bell rang, and Shen Yi walked into the classroom as it sounded, holding a lesson plan in his hand. He didn't say anything more.
"Attend class.
Today we're going to talk about 'meaning'.
The morning's classes passed quickly as Bai Yuan drifted off into thought and occasionally took notes.
When the bell rang, Shen Yi closed his lesson plan and his gaze fell on Bai Yuan:
"Bai Yuan, can you stay here for a moment?"
Bai Yuan was slightly taken aback, waiting until most of the people in the classroom had left.
He then asked, "Is it an exam, teacher?"
Shen Yi nodded:
"Yes, although you are exceptionally talented, you still need to follow the rules."
"Set an example for those who follow."
Bai Yuan looked at her, without refuting:
"Okay, let's go."
The two walked out of the Teaching Building one after the other, and passed through the familiar tree-lined path of the Outer Court.
Shen Yi didn't take him to the Training Ground, but instead turned towards an area that Bai Yuan had never set foot in before.
He passed through a stone gate covered in vines, and an ancient arena appeared before him.
The gray-black stone walls form a huge circle, with a sunken area inside, like a hollowed-out arena.
The stone wall was covered with marks from swords and dried blood.
It exudes a primitive and rough feel that clashes with Shrek's modern facilities.
Several heavy iron gates stood at the edge of the venue.
A low, almost frightening roar could be faintly heard coming from the cracks.
Shen Yi stopped in front of the stone gate:
"The Life and Death Arena"
"Shrek's earliest practical combat training ground was earlier and more direct than the Spirit Ascension Platform."
"There are Hundred-Year Soul Beast, and some that are a thousand years old."
"Your task today is very simple."
"To survive and emerge alive."
Bai Yuan stood before the stone gate, looking up at the ancient dome, two things flashing through his mind:
Shen Yi's master is Zhuo Shi, the Red Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi, one of the Sea God Pavilion Elder;
She said she was going to "bet" on him, and that meant it wasn't just about the exam.
This is more like a test, to see if he's worth their further investment.
He withdrew his gaze and stepped through the stone door.
The iron gate slowly closed behind him with a dull thud.
Standing in the center of the arena, a moment of silence fell over the surroundings.
Then the iron gate in the distance began to shake, as if something was awakening from the darkness.
He had barely steadied himself when a cold, mechanical voice echoed across the stone wall:
"Identity information verified, Bai Yuan. Matching you with an opponent."
He raised an eyebrow slightly and looked around.
It turns out that the Life and Death Arena is also a fake battle space.
Death will not affect reality; it simply means that Soul Beast are matched according to their talents to engage in a life-or-death battle.
Similar to the Spirit Ascension Platform of the Spirit Pagoda, it's clear that the resources of the strongest forces are not lacking.
The moment he looked away, the shaking of the iron gate in the distance suddenly intensified.
The darkness seeping through the crack in the door seemed tangible, spreading out from the crack.
Immediately afterwards, a deep tiger's roar came from behind the door.
He exudes an imposing aura without anger, carrying the composure of a hegemon surveying his territory.
It was as if declaring that stepping out of that door meant the beginning of the trial.
The iron gate slowly rose, and a giant, pure black tiger emerged from the shadows behind it.
It was enormous, with its shoulders almost level with the stone wall, and its entire body was covered in fur as dark as night.
Bai Yuan stood still, looking at the giant tiger.
His gaze shifted from wariness to surprise.
Then a slow smile curved his lips.
"Hey, isn't this just like my little black tiger?"
