When they heard that Na'er had twenty-seventh-rank Soul Power, they all gasped sharply.
Their gazes turned in unison toward Tang Wulin, but Tang Wulin himself looked equally bewildered.
"Show me your martial soul. Let me see exactly what it looks like."
"Yes, Teacher." Na'er nodded obediently. As she raised her hand, two yellow soul rings appeared around her.
A silver spear appeared in her hand.
Silver light flickered across the spear as powerful strength circulated within her body.
As he looked at Na'er, a trace of amazement appeared in Wu Zhangkong's eyes.
His gaze subconsciously flicked toward Chen Ye before he nodded at Na'er.
"I'll contact Long Hengxu now and have him arrange your enrollment! Come report directly to our class tomorrow. We are Grade One Class Zero."
When Wu Zhangkong mentioned Class Zero, he paused unconsciously.
However, he did not look at Gu Yue. He merely turned around calmly and began making a call.
It was already nine at night. Someone like Long Hengxu, who had settled down in Eastsea City, naturally had a wife and children.
He had been enjoying a warm bed with his wife and children when he was suddenly summoned, so naturally, he was displeased.
But when he heard that Eastsea Academy had gained another genius—and one with twenty-seventh-rank Soul Power, no less—
Long Hengxu did not even hang up the phone before rushing over.
It had taken him half an hour to get home, but less than ten minutes to race back to Eastsea Academy.
Seeing Long Hengxu's disheveled clothes and even his mismatched shoes, the corner of Wu Zhangkong's mouth twitched in rare fashion.
After Na'er's identity was processed and her student registration completed, she officially joined Grade One Class Zero.
"Welcome to Grade One Class Zero, little sister Na'er." Xie Xie grinned broadly.
"Welcome, Na'er."
"Welcome."
Tang Wulin and Yun Xiao also welcomed Na'er. Only Chen Ye and Gu Yue stood off to the side.
Although both wore smiles, neither of them was looking at Na'er.
Gu Yue watched Chen Ye vigilantly, afraid that this brat would secretly listen to her thoughts again.
Chen Ye merely blinked, completely unafraid of Gu Yue's threat. In any case, he was only a clone.
Wu Zhangkong stood there, looking at the children before him with a rare trace of gratification on his face.
"Since we have a new classmate joining us today, we'll conduct tests tomorrow morning to assess your physical fitness and current spiritual power."
"Chen Ye, notify Wang Jinxi and the other two. Then you can all return to your dormitories."
As Wu Zhangkong spoke, he waved the children away before returning directly to the teachers' apartments.
At the moment, he was the only one living there.
Although the other teachers did not hold much of a grudge against him because Yun Luo was an Evil Soul Master, no one was willing to live with him either.
Watching Teacher Wu leave, the boys exchanged glances, then slung their arms around one another's shoulders and headed toward the boys' dormitory.
Only Gu Yue and Na'er remained, heading toward the girls' dormitory.
Gu Yue had joined later, and through certain special connections, she was assigned a four-person dormitory all to herself.
Since the two were cousins, Wu Zhangkong naturally arranged for Na'er to stay in Gu Yue's dormitory.
The two walked along the path toward the girls' dormitory. The temperature was just right, and a gentle spring breeze drifted past them.
However, both girls looked exceptionally calm.
"My order to you was to join Shrek Academy and become Yun Ming's disciple."
"Only by becoming this Limit Douluo's disciple could you gradually grow stronger and complete my plan."
"Who told you to suddenly come here and insist on joining Eastsea Academy?"
Gu Yue's voice was cold. She stopped in place and turned to look at Na'er, dragon might fully revealed in her purple vertical pupils.
Na'er looked at Gu Yue's stern expression, but her own face was filled with disdain.
"I really wonder who it was that kept asking Di Tian every day what love and affection were."
"You said you would personally come inspect Tang Wulin, so what have you been doing? Instead of paying attention to Tang Wulin, you've been watching Chen Ye every day!"
Na'er's voice was equally cold. Combined with her porcelain-doll-like face, it gave off an intense sense of oppression.
Gu Yue stood there silently, her fists unconsciously tightening as a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.
"He is extremely dangerous and may affect us. I even sensed a kind of power from him that frightens me."
"Under such circumstances, of course I have to observe him. He is far more dangerous than Tang Wulin."
Gu Yue spoke quietly, trying to defend herself and explain why she was watching Chen Ye instead of Tang Wulin.
Yet once Na'er spoke again, Gu Yue fell completely silent.
Na'er said nothing else. She only asked Gu Yue one question.
"Then why don't you kill him? Or rather, why don't you have Di Tian kill him?"
"No matter how threatening he is now, can Di Tian really be no match for him?"
Na'er's tone was filled with questioning and incomprehension.
But if Chen Ye, standing nearby, could speak, he truly would have wanted to defend himself.
"It's not that Di Tian can't kill me. What would be the point of killing me?"
"I can revive within the Island of the Mind, or revive through the Dragon of Nightmare's body."
"You've really wronged Gu Yue. Killing me is useless, and my true body hardly ever shows itself!"
Chen Ye stood there and explained a few things to Na'er, but neither girl could see him at the moment.
That was because Chen Ye was not currently in human form, but in the form of a fat bird.
This fat bird had just returned. Perched on a tree, it clearly listened to the two girls' whispered conversation.
As for why he was eavesdropping on their whispered conversation, Chen Ye could only answer that it was the fat bird's doing and had nothing to do with him!
By then, Gu Yue had fallen completely silent.
"Gu Yue, since you want to observe Chen Ye, then focus your attention on Chen Ye. Leave Brother Wulin to me. I'll keep a close watch on him!"
Na'er's tone carried an indescribable determination, but Gu Yue's gaze held the same disdain.
However, she said nothing, because she was waiting to see Na'er get proven wrong.
Because of her emotions, she had already been affected by Chen Ye. All sorts of thoughts had even left her unable to understand herself.
All the emotions she possessed had come from Na'er. Or rather, Na'er was her human personality.
She had only interacted with Chen Ye for such a short time and had already been greatly affected.
She refused to believe that Na'er could interact with Tang Wulin without being affected.
She could already sense the curiosity in Na'er's eyes, and according to the books she had read recently, being curious about a man was the beginning of liking him.
