Over the course of the night, morning arrived. Everyone headed to the classroom to gather.

Chen Ye and the others had already gotten used to Na'er's presence.

However, Wang Jinxi and the others wore extremely strange expressions.

Wang Jinxi in particular looked at Chen Ye as if to say, Are you blind?

When Chen Ye returned yesterday evening, he had naturally told them that a new female classmate had arrived.

At the time, Wang Jinxi had casually asked whether she was pretty, and Chen Ye had calmly replied, "Average."

So, because the three of them had been in a hurry that morning, aside from Chen Ye, who had washed his hair and face and brushed his teeth, the other three had neither washed their hair nor brushed their teeth.

And while they had not washed their hair or brushed their teeth, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi saw a gorgeous young girl, beautiful as a porcelain doll, the moment they entered the classroom.

Wang Jinxi was in despair. Zhang Yangzi was no different.

The two of them even wanted to curse themselves. Why had they believed Chen Ye's nonsense?

But their social death was not over yet. Chen Ye calmly patted Na'er on the shoulder.

At Chen Ye's somewhat abrupt gesture, Na'er turned around. Xie Xie, who had been talking to Na'er nearby, turned around as well.

Chen Ye directly pointed at his three idiot roommates beside him. "New classmate, let me introduce you. These three are our classmates and also my roommates. This one is Wang Jinxi."

Wang Jinxi opened his mouth as the girl's beautiful eyes turned toward him.

He wanted to speak, but he was afraid the smell of last night's dinner would waft out, so he could only mutter softly, "Hello, new classmate. My name is Wang Jinxi."

"Hello, Student Wang."

"This is Zhang Yangzi, and this is Wei Xiaofeng." Chen Ye pointed to the other two as he spoke.

The other two also had embarrassment written all over their faces. Their voices were even quieter than Wang Jinxi's.

Seeing the three of them looking too afraid to speak, Na'er could not help but feel puzzled.

"Are you three embarrassed? It's fine. I'm easy to talk to."

Na'er spoke with a bright smile on her face.

But just one second before Wang Jinxi and the others were about to be touched, Chen Ye's calm voice rang out.

"They're not embarrassed. They just didn't wash their hair. They thought you were average-looking, so they didn't wash their hair."

As Chen Ye spoke, he winked at Na'er. Na'er also wore a faint smile.

But Wang Jinxi and the other two could not smile at all.

Their faces were all tinged with embarrassment, but they could not exactly say anything to Chen Ye.

After all, when they had been gossiping about Chen Ye last night, he had caught them red-handed again.

They had originally wondered why Chen Ye had not beaten or lectured them.

Well, it turned out he had simply made them embarrass themselves in front of the new classmate this morning.

Seeing the embarrassment on their faces, Na'er spared them and did not say anything more. She merely smiled, then turned back to continue talking with Xie Xie.

Watching Xie Xie toss his long golden hair and put on a showy expression, the three of them were speechless.

As time passed, Tang Wulin and Yun Xiao entered as well. The moment they came in, they saw Xie Xie talking to Na'er.

Tang Wulin's expression was somewhat strange, while Yun Xiao directly rolled his eyes. "What a guy who values girls over friends. You didn't even wake us up this morning!"

"Tsk, Student Yun Xiao, don't talk nonsense. I went out for a run this morning."

"After I finished running, I came straight here. Don't you know how to sleep early and wake up early?"

Hearing Xie Xie's shameless words, Yun Xiao truly could not help wanting to beat him up.

But after glancing at Na'er, he did not expose his brother.

As time passed, everyone chatted and laughed until just before class began, when the door was pushed open and Wu Zhangkong walked in.

Wu Zhangkong was still wearing his standard pale blue long robe. But after thinking of his cartoon pajamas from last night—

everyone was clearly less afraid of Wu Zhangkong and instead felt a little closer to him.

"I still prefer Teacher Wu's cartoon pajamas from yesterday. Those clothes were really nice."

"Teacher Wu, that outfit was so cool. It's the coolest outfit we've ever seen."

Hearing Xie Xie and Tang Wulin's words, Wu Zhangkong rolled his eyes at them and lightly tapped the desk.

"Class starts now. All of you, come with me. Today, we're going to the training room to test your physical fitness."

Wu Zhangkong led the way outside, and after exchanging glances, everyone else followed behind him.

The Physical Fitness Testing Room was beside the teaching building, not far away. After walking for a few minutes, the group arrived at the Physical Fitness Testing Room in a grand procession.

"Let's begin with a mental power test. Xie Xie, you go first." Wu Zhangkong pointed at Xie Xie as he spoke.

Xie Xie did not hesitate. He walked up and placed his hand on it. As his palm touched the testing device, the number began to change gradually.

Tang Wulin went after Xie Xie, and then everyone took turns one after another. However, their mental power was all quite low.

Tang Wulin had 66 points, which was considered relatively high among them. Zhang Yangzi and Xie Xie were both around forty-something points.

Wang Jinxi had it the worst. He only had 18 points of mental power. An ordinary person's mental power was usually around 20 points.

"As for your mental power, you need to find a way to improve it. Your number is a little too low. It means your willpower and your defenses against mental attacks will be poor." Wu Zhangkong looked at Wang Jinxi as he spoke.

Wang Jinxi lowered his head, embarrassment on his face, but said nothing.

Seeing Wang Jinxi's appearance, Wu Zhangkong frowned.

He thought Wang Jinxi did not care, so he added a few more words.

"Mental power is very important. The stronger you become in the future, the more important it will be."

"Mental power concerns not only your control over your martial soul and your body's coordination."

"If you want to become a Title Douluo in the future, your mental power must reach a certain standard."

"The same goes for soul spirits. Without sufficiently high mental power, you will not even be able to fuse with some powerful soul spirits."

Wu Zhangkong's words were somewhat harsh, since mental power was an extremely crucial factor.

Under normal circumstances, there would have been nothing wrong with what Wu Zhangkong said. But Na'er was standing right beside them.

The girl was blinking her beautiful purple eyes as she watched Wang Jinxi.

Wang Jinxi's face flushed bright red. Being lectured in front of such a beautiful girl was something he absolutely could not endure.

So even though he was very afraid of Wu Zhangkong, he still could not help snapping back.

"Isn't it normal for people our age to have low mental power? Most people only have forty or fifty points anyway. They're not that much higher than me."

"Everyone's mental power is about the same. I'm only a little weaker!"

There was a trace of anger in Wang Jinxi's tone. Wu Zhangkong glanced at him and, unusually, said nothing. He merely pointed behind Wang Jinxi.

When Wang Jinxi turned around, he saw Gu Yue standing there with a calm expression. Her score was 119 points.
