Su Chen vs. Gu Yue

(Ya Li · Image 2)

A week passed quickly.

Class One's training life also settled down, and the rankings were successfully decided.

Su Chen naturally ranked first, making him the class monitor.

The rankings after him were Tang Wulin, Bone Dragon King Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, Xie Xie, and Wei Xiaofeng.

Because Tang Wulin's bloodline had initially awakened, and Wang Jinxi and the others had not advanced to two rings, every one of them was knocked to the ground and left rolling their eyes after just a few hammer blows from Tang Wulin.

Without their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi were no match for Tang Wulin, even though Tang Wulin was only level 11.

As for the other students, although they were all from Class One—

On the training ground, Class One's students were undergoing weight-bearing training.

Wu Zhangkong had kept his word. When he said the training would be doubled, it was doubled.

Having come from Shrek Academy, Wu Zhangkong was inherently strict, and his normal training volume was already greater than that of the other classes.

With it doubled on top of that, the training alone nearly killed Class One's students every day.

Meanwhile, Wu Zhangkong reclined in a lounge chair beneath a parasol, sipping tea and enjoying life.

Beside Wu Zhangkong, Su Chen was also lying in a lounge chair, eating fruit as he watched his classmates train on the field.

Although the other students were all immensely envious, not a single one of them felt jealous.

Su Chen's strength was such that they could not even bring themselves to envy him.

Wu Zhangkong generally did not give geniuses special treatment.

But Su Chen was simply too monstrous, so Wu Zhangkong had no choice but to make an exception.

Yes, Wu Zhangkong swore that he definitely was not giving Su Chen special treatment because Su Chen had promised to forge Three-Word Battle Armor for him in the future.

"Hello, is this Class One of the first grade?"

Just then, a clear female voice came from nearby.

Wu Zhangkong was slightly taken aback. He turned his head and discovered that, at some unknown point, a young girl had arrived beside them.

The girl had long black hair and looked about the same age as Su Chen. She had a well-proportioned, graceful figure. Though her looks did not reach the very top tier, they were still above average. Combined with her confident bearing, she would have drawn attention anywhere.

The girl was naturally Gu Yue.

Although Gu Yue had deliberately toned down her appearance, her aura remained. She could not be called devastatingly beautiful, but she still stood out as Class One's unrivaled class beauty.

"Student, which class are you from? It's currently class time. If you have something to say, wait until after class."

Wu Zhangkong frowned slightly.

When he had been a student at Shrek Academy, he had also been quite mischievous and unruly.

But now that he was a teacher, he greatly disliked mischievous students who refused to follow the rules.

"I'm here to register. I was late because of special circumstances. Can I join Class One?"

Gu Yue tilted her head, looking exceptionally innocent.

If it had been another teacher, Gu Yue would surely have been chased away immediately.

But Wu Zhangkong was different.

"Oh, I see. But since you're late, you naturally can't follow the usual procedure."

Wu Zhangkong nodded. Since she was not yet a student, he had no authority over her, but he was still willing to give her a chance.

He looked at Gu Yue and said, "How about this? Spar with Su Chen from our class. If you perform well, you can join Class One."

Wu Zhangkong could tell that this girl who had suddenly appeared was far from ordinary. Although he did not know what her Martial Soul was, the Soul Power cultivation she deliberately revealed showed that she was undoubtedly a Soul Grandmaster.

At such a young age, having this level of cultivation meant that as long as her Martial Soul and combat experience were not too poor, she would still be a prodigy even at Shrek Academy.

Naturally, he did not expect her to defeat Su Chen. He merely wanted to see how she performed.

"Sure~"

Gu Yue agreed with a smiling expression.

"Uh, Teacher, didn't you say I could rest...?"

Su Chen was somewhat speechless.

"This new student isn't simple. Su Chen, you can't be careless." Wu Zhangkong put on a mysterious air.

He wanted Su Chen to underestimate his opponent.

Then, as long as Gu Yue injured Su Chen, he would have an excuse to put Su Chen through special training in the future, while also preventing him from becoming too complacent.

"Fine, fine~"

Su Chen yawned, appearing utterly casual.

He naturally knew Gu Yue was not simple, and her elemental control was especially troublesome. Either he would have to defeat her instantly, or he would have to endure a whole pile of her annoying skills.

Wu Zhangkong clearly wanted to test Gu Yue, so Su Chen could not strike too heavily. He could only slowly play along with Gu Yue and would have to take her skills head-on.

Su Chen glanced at his panel.

The original Na'er's Illustrated Record had split apart.

Na'er was still the same Na'er as before.

But beside Na'er's Illustrated Record, an entirely new Blank Illustrated Record had split off—Gu Yue.

[Character: Gu Yue]

[Rating: SS-Class]

[Favorability: ???]

This was Su Chen's first time seeing favorability that could not be displayed.

He guessed that after Gu Yue had split apart, she needed to be photographed and recorded again.

In any case, Gu Yue should be able to join Class One, so there would be plenty of chances to take photos. Su Chen was not in a hurry.

"Come on, we'll fight here."

Wu Zhangkong pointed at a small Soul Fighting Platform nearby. Then, as if remembering something, he looked at Gu Yue and asked, "By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Gu Yue."

Gu Yue was still smiling, looking harmless and easygoing.

But only Su Chen knew.

The prettier a girl's smile was, the harder she hit.

Gu Yue was even hostile toward him. Once the battle began, she would definitely show no mercy.

"Gu Yue, right? Give it everything you have and show all your strength. You don't need to hold back. If you can injure him, not only can you enroll, I can even make you Class One's class monitor directly."

Wu Zhangkong spoke calmly.

"Oh? So this student named Su Chen is very strong?" Gu Yue raised an eyebrow, not expecting this teacher to be so confident in Su Chen.

She knew Su Chen was strong, but all she knew was his cultivation.

Leng Yaozhu had not revealed anything to her about Su Chen's combat strength or his specific soul skills.

She had originally thought that even if she could not defeat Su Chen in her current state, she at least would not be crushed by him.

But now, it seemed—

Su Chen's combat strength was equally terrifying.

"You'll find out once you try. Begin."

Once Wu Zhangkong saw Gu Yue and Su Chen take their positions, he immediately called for the match to begin.

Seeing that there was a show to watch, the other students who were undergoing weight-bearing training all gathered around.

Wu Zhangkong did not stop them.

Gu Yue's strength should not be weak. She should rank second only to Su Chen in the class. It would be good to let these little brats see it and give them some pressure.

Whoosh—

Two purple Soul Rings appeared beneath Gu Yue's feet, radiating powerful pressure.

All the students' mouths fell open at the sight.

"My god... another monster. Two Thousand-Year Soul Rings, and she looks about the same age as me..."

"Hmph, so what if she has two Thousand-Year Soul Rings? The class monitor has three Thousand-Year Soul Rings!"

"Holy crap, where did this freak come from... and she's a girl too..." Seeing this, Xie Xie felt as if the sky had collapsed.

Class status -1,
