This was light in its purest form. As the blinding radiance flared, even Wu Zhangkong instinctively covered his eyes.

By the time he reacted, it was already too late.

That nearly terrifying punch struck Zhou Changxi, instantly purifying the soul skill on his body.

He was blasted away under the searing light.

As Zhou Changxi was sent flying and fell unconscious, Yun Xiao finally came back to his senses. He stood there blankly, staring at his fist.

Wu Zhangkong reacted quickly. He immediately stepped forward and checked Zhou Changxi's injuries.

Zhou Changxi was not seriously hurt. After all, the pure light possessed by this first authority was not particularly offensive.

Even so, he had still fallen unconscious.

Wu Zhangkong gave Yun Xiao a long look but said nothing. He directly called Xie Xie over to take charge, while he carried Zhou Changxi to the infirmary.

Watching Wu Zhangkong leave, Xie Xie swallowed and looked at Yun Xiao with some fear.

But Yun Xiao ignored him, continuing to stand there in a daze as he stared at his hands.

What no one noticed was that Chen Ye stood in the shadows nearby, a faint smile on his face.

As time passed, Ye Yingluo finally returned with Wei Xiaofeng after the second class ended.

Wei Xiaofeng's expression was awful. Because he had skipped class, he had been given a disciplinary mark.

He glanced at Chen Ye, but seeing the boy's lazy expression, he did not dare show even a trace of anger, afraid Chen Ye would punish him again.

"Alright, we've delayed everyone for two classes. This afternoon, we'll be holding the class selection tournament to choose the three strongest people in our class to participate in the Class Promotion Tournament."

Ye Yingluo paused as she spoke, a flash of disdain crossing her face. "Of course, it's normal if you don't care much. After all, we'll be competing against Class Two and Class Three. They may be somewhat strong, but their strength is nothing special."

"They're not comparable to us." As Ye Yingluo spoke, she looked toward the last row.

Chen Ye, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Ziyang, and Wei Xiaofeng, who had just taken his seat there, were sitting there.

This time, Class One had a full four two-ring Soul Masters. Chen Ye in particular had Soul Power at level 27, making him a top-tier genius.

Thus, Ye Yingluo felt no pressure at all about this Class Promotion Tournament.

"Now, take out your textbooks. Today, I'll be teaching you about the circulation of Soul Power and the ways it can be used."

"Now turn to the first page." Ye Yingluo tapped the podium with her palm and looked at the students below. She noticed that quite a few of them were looking outside.

But she did not pay it much mind, assuming something interesting was happening out there.

The morning passed quickly. As soon as class ended at noon, Zhang Ziyang walked over to Chen Ye and asked, "Want to have lunch together?"

"No need. Someone asked me out. You guys go ahead." Chen Ye smiled at him, his expression exceptionally gentle.

Zhang Ziyang froze for a moment, then nodded and left with Wang Jinxi.

From beginning to end, neither of them called Wei Xiaofeng. As for Wei Xiaofeng, he had already slipped away before class ended.

Chen Ye waited five or six minutes before he saw Tang Wulin running over, panting.

The moment he saw Tang Wulin, Chen Ye waved and walked out to his side.

Seeing the excitement on the boy's face, Chen Ye pretended not to know anything and asked, "Why are you so excited? Did something good happen?"

"You don't know, Brother Chen!"

"My roommate—the really insecure Yun Xiao you met—actually awakened a second martial soul and became a Twin Martial Souls powerhouse!"

"His Soul Power didn't increase, but that martial soul is really powerful. Just now, Zhou Changxi couldn't even withstand one punch from him!"

Tang Wulin's face was filled with excitement and longing, but Chen Ye merely smiled and gave him an interested look.

Naturally, he knew all about it. After all, he was the one who had given Yun Xiao the Sun Martial Soul.

But what Tang Wulin did not know was that he had also indirectly gained control over the Sun's authorities. Unlike Yun Xiao, he had not merely mastered the first authority.

His strength had already reached three rings, and he had perfectly mastered the Sun's second authority, "Purification," as well as its third authority, "Flame."

This mastery was not something imagined out of thin air. He had truly mastered them, and he now possessed the Sun Martial Soul as well.

Of course, the Sun's essential power still remained with Yun Xiao. After all, Chen Ye had no desire to endure pollution later on.

The two arrived at the cafeteria. Tang Wulin still chose Grade C food, but Chen Ye selected Grade B food today, intending to give it a try.

Once they had gotten their meals, Tang Wulin once again had a stainless steel basin filled to the brim.

After sitting down with their food, Tang Wulin looked at Chen Ye with an adoring gaze.

Chen Ye wore a helpless expression, then raised his hand. "Go on. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"I want chicken strips, sausage, grilled cold noodles, fried mushrooms, and fried skewers!" Tang Wulin swallowed as he spoke, looking at Chen Ye pleadingly.

Faced with the boy's pitiful gaze, Chen Ye flicked him on the forehead.

Then he raised his hand, and a dazzling assortment of food appeared before Tang Wulin.

Looking at the food, Tang Wulin swallowed. Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed the fried skewers and all sorts of snacks and stuffed them into his mouth.

After all, this was not merely wishful thinking. He could genuinely taste the flavors.

Although these things would disappear after being eaten, the sensation of eating them would not change.

Watching Tang Wulin wolf everything down, Chen Ye lightly raised his hand, and an exquisite little cake appeared before him.

He ate the dishes while enjoying the cake, then imagined up two cups of milk tea for them. This time, they were mango milkshake flavored.

By the time the two finished eating and chatting, the noon break was nearly over.

After parting ways, Chen Ye returned to his classroom. Quite a few students around him were sprawled over their desks sleeping, while Chen Ye casually leaned to one side and read a book.

Of course, he was only reading on the surface. His consciousness was focused on Yun Xiao's situation.

At this moment, Yun Xiao had been brought to the Academic Affairs Office, but Director Long Hengxu did not say anything.

After all, awakening Twin Martial Souls later in life was an extremely rare occurrence.

Moreover, after awakening his second martial soul, Yun Xiao's talent could now be considered that of a genius. Naturally, the academy would not do anything to him.

After Wu Zhangkong's decision, he was already planning to put Yun Xiao in the selection tournament and have him participate in the Class Promotion Tournament.

Watching this, Chen Ye smiled. He was actually looking forward to seeing what would happen when Yun Xiao clashed with Gu Yue.

One had mastered the most basic power of the Sun Pathway, while the other was an incarnation of the Silver Dragon King. Such a clash was sure to be interesting.

As Chen Ye thought, he yawned. Competing with these people this afternoon would be interesting too, wouldn't it?

Because he was planning to try out the power of the Sun Pathway. After all, his alter ego was the Dark Phoenix.

It was perfectly normal for the Dark Phoenix to wield Divine Flame, after all~
