East Sea Primary Academy? What a coincidence, all acquaintances.

Chen Zhou lay on the bed for a long time. Perhaps due to the fusion of his spirit soul combined with sheer exhaustion, it was already the next morning by the time he woke up.

The moment he realized he hadn't eaten dinner, he couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, the breakfast here at the Spirit Pagoda was quite sumptuous.

After a simple breakfast, Su Xin informed him that he would be entering the primary academy today.

This type of compulsory education was something he had to attend, so Chen Zhou did not refuse.

Naturally, the class he would be joining was undoubtedly one of the best in the East Sea Primary Academy.

Since it was the start of the school year just after the spirit awakening ceremony, Chen Zhou was not considered a transfer student.

Millet porridge, large meat buns, braised pork, and sweet and sour ribs—Chen Zhou ate a few bites before trotting happily behind Su Xin to the soul-guided car.

As the soul-guided car headed toward the East Sea Primary Academy, Su Xin gently handed a card to Chen Zhou.

"Young Master Chen Zhou, this is the card the Pagoda Master gave you. It contains 10,000 federal coins every month for your daily expenses."

"Of course, if you have any additional resource requirements, you can tell me, and I will relay them to the Pagoda Master."

Su Xin's tone was very gentle.

Upon hearing her words, Chen Zhou quietly replied with an "oh."

He was chewing on a chocolate candy, but he still asked somewhat unclearly:

"Sister Su Xin, I want to obtain some spirit herbs to cultivate and increase my cultivation speed."

Chen Zhou's words were a bit jumbled, but Su Xin understood him nonetheless.

Looking at the cute little boy in front of her, Su Xin paused for a moment before nodding:

"Very well, Young Master Chen Zhou. I will apply for it with the Pagoda Master. The Pagoda Master should be able to satisfy your request."

As she spoke, Su Xin glanced at Chen Zhou's face; she actually wanted to pinch the handsome little boy in front of her.

But remembering his status, she sighed helplessly.

As the vehicle slowly came to a halt, they finally arrived at the East Sea Primary Academy.

This was the best-located primary academy in East Sea City, and also the best among all the primary academies.

This was because a large portion of the students here could directly enter the East Sea Academy.

That was the best school in East Sea City, the one countless parents exhausted all their efforts to get their children into.

Being able to attend the East Sea Primary Academy was equivalent to getting a good head start, providing a much greater chance of entering the East Sea Academy than others.

However, these things were not within Chen Zhou's considerations.

After all, given his status, he would certainly be able to enter the East Sea Academy regardless.

Thinking of this, he didn't care.

Upon arriving at Class One and opening the door, he saw twenty or so children sitting sparsely inside.

Chen Zhou scanned the room casually and sat directly in the very back seat.

However, not long after he sat down, a little fatty trotted up to him.

The little fatty first scanned him, compared their heights and builds, and feeling he had the advantage, he spoke in a muffled, grumpy voice:

"Hey, kid, give up this seat. The throne in the back is only for the strongest in the class; this is my seat!"

The boy's words had a naive, foolish quality to them, but Chen Zhou merely glanced at him.

Then, a massive water dragon suddenly appeared behind him, followed by a spirit ring.

The suddenly appearing giant water dragon and the single spirit ring scared the little fatty until he burst into tears.

Watching the little fatty rolling on the ground and throwing a tantrum, a trace of a smile appeared on Chen Zhou's face:

"Little guy, do you know who is the strongest now? I'll give you a chance: be my underling, and tell me your name."

Chen Zhou smiled, and without hesitation, he pinched the little fatty's cheek.

His strength wasn't great, but it still turned the little fatty's face red.

Yet, looking at the smiling boy who was the same age as him, the little fatty blinked through his teary eyes and continued to speak in a muffled voice:

"My name is Zhou Changxi, I'm 6 years old, and I just started school. My spirit, my spirit is a Great Strength Ape."

The little fatty sounded a bit aggrieved, but upon hearing the name Zhou Changxi, Chen Zhou raised an eyebrow.

He looked at the little fatty again, then reached out and pinched his other cheek:

"Remember, from now on, whether at school or anywhere else, you are not allowed to bully classmates, and you are definitely not allowed to engage in school bullying. If I find out you're bullying anyone, then... heh."

Chen Zhou laughed, his face carrying a hint of warning.

However, Zhou Changxi was only 6 years old at the time and had no idea what Chen Zhou meant.

He rubbed his face aggrievedly and looked at Chen Zhou:

"Big Brother, what's your name? If you're thirsty, I have water here; you can have some."

"Drink your big head, ghost."

Chen Zhou muttered, intending to smack the chubby boy on the head, but just then, the door swung open.

A woman, looking to be only in her twenties, walked in.

Her gaze swept across the room and landed on the two of them.

Seeing Chen Zhou bullying a classmate on his very first day, the woman frowned.

However, as the chubby boy stood up and obediently sat down next to Chen Zhou, she didn't say anything further.

"Hello everyone, I am your current teacher. You may call me Teacher Xiao Yue."

"For the next three years, I will be the one teaching you the relevant knowledge."

"Now, please turn to the first page of your textbooks, and I will introduce to you what a Martial Soul is, and the various categories of Martial Souls."

The day's lessons passed by quickly.

As soon as school let out in the afternoon, the students shot out like cannonballs, rushing toward their respective parents.

Chen Zhou was quite relaxed; after all, he had a car to pick him up and drop him off, so he just needed to go find his driver.

However, he didn't intend to head straight back, preferring instead to wander around East Sea City for a while.

Just as he stepped outside, he nearly collided with a young boy.

The boy had long golden hair and cast a glance at Chen Zhou.

There was a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, but he seemed to remember that his mother was waiting for him.

Thus, the boy merely let out a cold snort and dashed away.

Chen Zhou didn't take it to heart.

He followed behind the boy, and just as they exited the school gates, he saw the boy throw himself into a woman's arms.

She was a woman with a gentle appearance, and both her clothing and overall demeanor looked quite refined.

Her family background likely wasn't poor, yet she still insisted on picking up her child every day.

However, if one looked closely, one could see a sense of weariness and exhaustion in the woman's eyes.

This fatigue didn't stem from the daily school runs, but rather from something else entirely.

Chen Zhou said nothing.

He signaled to his driver, who then followed behind him, and the two began to stroll through the nearby area.

Chen Zhou was quite interested at first, but they hadn't gone far before he heard a few men making lewd remarks:

"What a pretty little sister. Little girl, do you want to come home with us? Such a beautiful little girl is a rare sight."

"Oh my, this little girl even has silver hair? This kind of hair is truly rare!"
