At that moment.

Fatty Wang suddenly wore a suggestive expression.

He seemed to have thought of something.

He leaned a little closer toward Ye Xiao.

Then he asked in a low voice.

"Brother Xiao, did you and the Campus Beauty know each other before?"

"Campus Beauty? Which one?"

"Brother Xiao, there's no need to play dumb in front of me! Of course, it's Su Muyun!"

Fatty Wang spoke eloquently.

"In just one day, Su Muyun topped the Campus Beauty Index. Don't tell me you didn't know about that!"

Ye Xiao chuckled, shaking his head repeatedly.

"I really didn't know."

Fatty Wang looked astonished.

"You don't even know this? Do you never go online?"

"Our school's internal network has a Campus Beauty Index that records information on every female student from freshman to senior year."

"Su Muyun reached the top in just one day!"

Ye Xiao was surprised.

"That fast? Why?"

Fatty Wang said.

"First, naturally, it's because of Su Muyun's appearance. Even though she's just a freshman, her looks have already crushed the veteran campus beauties without leaving a trace!"

"The second reason is that Su Muyun's grades and strength are also quite outstanding! She has the highest-level class among all the students in our school!"

"And, Brother Xiao, you probably don't know this, but didn't all the freshmen have a round of testing at the Awakening Test Hall on the first day?"

Ye Xiao nodded.

"Yeah, did something new happen?"

Fatty Wang said with great excitement.

"Yes! A new situation came up this morning!"

"There was an issue with Su Muyun's awakening test yesterday, so the school leaders arranged for her to have a separate retest this morning."

"And do you know what happened?"

Ye Xiao's attention was completely hooked.

"What was the result?"

Fatty Wang took a deep breath.

"Su Muyun's retest didn't show the S-rank Azure Phoenix Sword Radiance anymore."

"She evolved!"

"SSS-rank Azure Phoenix Sword God!"

Ye Xiao's eyes widened in surprise.

"In one day, she jumped directly from an S-rank class to an SSS-rank class?"

Don't look at these two classes as just a one-character difference.

The gap between them is worlds apart.

Fatty Wang sighed in amazement, nodding repeatedly.

"Yeah! This is too exaggerated. When I heard the news, I had the same reaction as you—I couldn't believe it at all."

"Brother Xiao, do you think it's possible that your awakening test also had an issue?"

"If you had the chance to take the awakening test again, maybe you wouldn't be an E-rank Martialist?"

Ye Xiao heard Fatty Wang's final words.

He shook his head, revealing a smile that accepted everything.

"Even if there were another chance for an awakening test, I don't intend to take it."

"Why?"

"I think being a Martialist is just fine."

"Why?"

"In my view, the power of a class is an external factor, full of uncertainty. I would rather trust my own two fists."

Ye Xiao's tone was firm, his goal clear.

"At the very least, my fists won't lie to me; however much I train, that's exactly how much punching power they'll give back."

Fatty Wang was completely convinced.

"As expected of my Brother Xiao!"

"This kind of mindset—I couldn't catch up to it even if I rode a horse for the rest of my life."

Ye Xiao chuckled in spite of himself.

"Stop buttering me up. Either get back to washing dishes or go back to the dorm and get some rest."

Fatty Wang gave a cheeky grin.

"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you."

"But Brother Xiao, I'm still really curious: did you actually know Su Muyun before?"

"I've heard so many people at school gossiping about you and Su Muyun."

A helpless expression appeared on Ye Xiao's face.

"Those people just love to let their imaginations run wild. I didn't know Su Muyun before."

Fatty Wang wore an expression of utter disbelief.

"No way!"

"Then how could Su Muyun just hand a book over to a stranger she was meeting for the first time?"

"A girl giving you a book that looks important."

"How can you look at that behavior and think it's normal?"

"Can't you feel it, Brother Xiao?"

Ye Xiao was slightly taken aback.

"Don't tell me Su Muyun has a crush on me?"

Fatty Wang couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into laughter.

"Brother Xiao, you actually have a bit of a sense of humor in you."

Ye Xiao laughed, annoyed.

He also felt that it was unlikely for someone like Su Muyun to fall for a person like him.

Maybe Su Muyun just genuinely appreciates me? Ye Xiao thought to himself.

Ye Xiao and Fatty Wang spent about an hour washing dishes.

Once the work was finished, the two left the cafeteria logistics department.

Fatty Wang was following his course schedule, preparing to head to his afternoon professional cultivation class.

Ye Xiao, however, did not go to class.

The reason was simple.

Professional cultivation classes were of no help to a Martialist like him.

Because Ye Xiao didn't rely on meditation or other such methods to cultivate.

He had no way to absorb spiritual energy into his body.

Furthermore, there was Ye Xiao's special status.

It looked like they had given him a special admission opportunity out of pity, but in reality, it was just giving him the chance to audit classes.

As an auditor, whether he attended class or not wouldn't affect the normal proceedings of the course.

Ye Xiao's plan for the afternoon was to head back to the Gravity Training Tower.

This was currently the place where Ye Xiao could improve his strength the fastest.

Therefore, Ye Xiao intended to pour all his time outside of resting into this place.

When Ye Xiao returned to the Gravity Training Tower, he walked to the back of the queue.

Just then, Ye Xiao froze, because the person standing in line in front of him was a young girl.

Her hair reached her waist, as black as ink.

Her hair was neither permed nor dyed, simply left to hang loose.

The ends were tied loosely with a dark blue ribbon, swaying gently with her every movement.

This silhouette looks a bit familiar.

Ye Xiao muttered to himself.

Could it be...

Just then, the girl in front of him turned her head.

The bright sunlight fell upon her stunning profile.

Ye Xiao's heart felt as if it had been struck hard by something.

So, this is the girl who managed to top the Campus Beauty Index in just one day!

The person before him was none other than Su Muyun.

After Su Muyun recognized Ye Xiao, she took the initiative to greet him.

"Ye Xiao."

Dazed by the girl's beauty, Ye Xiao finally snapped back to reality.

"Classmate Su Muyun, what are you doing here?"

Su Muyun swept her beautiful eyes across him.

"What? Only you are allowed to cultivate here, but I'm not?"

Ye Xiao scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I didn't mean that."

Su Muyun gave a light huff.

"I should hope you don't have the nerve."

Watching Su Muyun act this way, Ye Xiao was momentarily dumbfounded.

Because her posture and the way she spoke just now were inexplicably similar to a girlfriend acting spoiled toward her boyfriend.
