Tang Wulin: Why are you city folk so wicked!

"Hmph, stingy..."

Mu Xi pursed her lips, looking somewhat unhappy.

Su Chen: ...

Su Chen regretted it; had he known, he wouldn't have shown off with his mecha today.

Mu Xi hadn't brought this up for a long time, but suddenly wanting a mecha today was clearly because she had seen his Yellow-grade mecha.

"Junior, you should keep a lower profile in the future~"

Ouyang Zixin giggled, looking somewhat gleeful at his misfortune.

When they arrived, they had seen Su Chen's cool mecha, which had drawn the envy of many surrounding students.

Mu Xi was naturally competitive; seeing Su Chen with a mecha, she definitely wanted one too.

"It's not like that, Senior Sister. You can't pilot a mecha in the city, and the academy wouldn't let you either. If you really want to play with one, I'll lend you mine first..."

Su Chen gently took Mu Xi's small hand, hurriedly coaxing her.

Girls still need to be coaxed.

As long as it didn't touch his bottom line or principles, Su Chen would naturally give in to Mu Xi.

If he coaxed her well, who knows, maybe he could hold her while sleeping tonight.

The last time he slept with Mu Xi was last week, and Su Chen missed the feeling...

Su Chen didn't usually need the mecha, so it was just gathering dust. Using it to coax a girl was better than letting it sit idle; besides, Mu Xi would likely get bored of it in a few days.

"Really?"

Hearing this, joy immediately appeared on Mu Xi's face.

"Of course."

Su Chen gently held Mu Xi's small hand and stuffed the mecha's storage Soul Tool directly into her palm.

A mecha wasn't something just anyone could afford to play with.

The storage Soul Tool for this mecha alone was extremely expensive, worth nearly as much as the mecha itself.

"Hmph, that's more like it. Let's go~"

Seeing this, the corners of Mu Xi's mouth curled up slightly. She pulled Su Chen's hand and walked outside, looking very happy.

Ouyang Zixin followed beside the two, a smile on her lips.

She naturally liked Su Chen too, but she wouldn't compete with Mu Xi; after all, in terms of background and talent, she was far inferior to Mu Xi.

Being able to be with Su Chen often was already enough to make her happy.

What's more, Su Chen had gifted her Battle Armor and often took her and Mu Xi to the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Her first Soul Spirit had already evolved to 900 years, and both of her hundred-year soul rings had reached 900 years. It was just a pity that her spiritual power was a bit lacking, preventing her from evolving the Soul Spirit to a thousand years for the time being.

Mu Xi, on the other hand, had evolved her Soul Spirit to a thousand years, meaning both of her soul rings had reached the thousand-year level, causing quite a stir in the academy and allowing her to show off in a big way.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Tang Wulin was guided by a beautiful senior to complete his enrollment procedures and arrived at his dormitory.

Without any surprises, Tang Wulin was bullied by his roommate Zhou Changxi the moment he arrived.

Then, Zhou Changxi was pinned to the ground and thrashed by Tang Wulin.

Xie Xie happened to burst in and, seeing Tang Wulin bullying his roommate, stepped in to dispense justice and sanction Tang Wulin.

"You city folk are so wicked!!"

Tang Wulin went completely berserk, punching Xie Xie so hard he was embedded into the wall and couldn't be pried out.

Although there was no fuse provided by Na'er, as a Child of Destiny, he was born to be targeted; such is fate.

Academic Affairs Office, Long Hengxu's office.

Long Hengxu looked at Tang Wulin and the others, his expression grim.

"Fighting on the first day, you guys are quite brave."

Long Hengxu said coldly.

"Director, it has nothing to do with me; they were the ones fighting..."

Yun Xiao said aggrievedly, while recounting the sequence of events.

"Fine, fine, fine. Zhou Changxi, you brat have some nerve, bullying your roommate on the first day of school. Get out to Class Five."

"And Xie Xie, your talent would have allowed you to enter Class One, but you attacked and bullied a classmate without rhyme or reason. You also get out to Class Five."

Long Hengxu then looked at Tang Wulin and said, "Although you acted in self-defense, your martial soul is only Blue Silver Grass, so only Class 5 is suitable for you."

"Yun Xiao, you didn't stop your classmates from fighting, so you're in Class 5 as well!"

With just a few words, Long Hengxu made arrangements for them all.

"I..."

Yun Xiao was somewhat unconvinced, but he had no choice.

The others kept their heads low, not daring to say a single word.

Tang Wulin didn't mind; as long as there was no punishment, the class number didn't matter to him.

"The academy is full of experts. Focus on your studies and don't go looking for trouble just because you think you're strong. Alright, go back now, and don't be late for the opening ceremony tomorrow."

Long Hengxu waved his hand, shooing them out.

"Honestly, causing trouble with such meager strength. Su Chen is the only one who puts my mind at ease—strong, humble, and steady. That boy is the future of the academy."

Long Hengxu took a sip of tea and sighed to himself.

"The two boys who left last were quite good. Assign them to my class." Just then, a tall, upright figure suddenly burst into the office.

"Wu Zhangkong!! Do you have any manners? Can't you knock before entering an office!!!"

Long Hengxu was so startled he nearly fell off his chair, pointing at Wu Zhangkong and cursing.

He was genuinely afraid of Wu Zhangkong; although Wu Zhangkong hadn't gone all out during their last spar, he had still been beaten quite badly.

Everyone from Shrek was a lunatic, completely unreasonable and only believing in their fists—simply incomprehensible!

"My apologies, that was my fault. I will next time."

Wu Zhangkong apologized sincerely.

Long Hengxu: ...

"That Xie Xie has decent talent, but Tang Wulin only has a Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Why do you want him?"

Long Hengxu frowned.

"That is none of your concern. Since I have taken over Class 1, I will naturally do my utmost to cultivate every student," Wu Zhangkong said seriously.

"Fine, fine... take them then..."

Hearing this, Long Hengxu waved his hand and agreed.

On one hand, he couldn't beat Wu Zhangkong and feared this guy would force another spar on him.

On the other hand, he trusted Wu Zhangkong's teaching ability.

After all, Wu Zhangkong came from the legendary Shrek, and both his combat power and teaching standards were undoubtedly the best in the entire school.

If he could truly cultivate a group of geniuses for the academy, it would be a massive gain.

"Thank you. I'll try to go easier on you next time I beat you up."

Wu Zhangkong bowed again in apology.

Long Hengxu: ...

Evening.

Su Chen and Mu Xi returned from outside the academy.

Ouyang Zixin had gone for a run, so she had left earlier.

Of course, Su Chen knew that Ouyang Zixin was creating an opportunity for him and Mu Xi to be alone.

Senior Ouyang Zixin is still so considerate, Su Chen thought to himself.

When Mu Xi was around, Ouyang Zixin never fought or scrambled for attention, and she didn't even get jealous.

Who wouldn't love such a senior?

"I'm heading back to the dormitory now. See you tomorrow."

Reaching the fork in the path, she let go of Su Chen's hand, intending to say goodbye.

"Senior Sister, don't go yet. You promised to stay at my place tonight. My villa is huge; it's more than enough for two people~"

Su Chen quickly grabbed Mu Xi.

Having spent the better part of the day shopping and eating with Mu Xi, Su Chen certainly wanted some benefits; otherwise, wouldn't all his hard work have been for nothing?
