I Could Tell at a Glance You Weren't Human

On the training grounds, Lu Chen and the others left the dean's office without a hitch. Not only had they avoided punishment, but they could also move into more luxurious dormitories.

This was thanks to Lu Chen's generosity. Money could make the gods move—this saying worked anywhere.

"Wow, we get to live in luxurious dormitories now! Lu Chen, you've really got skills."

Xiao Wu happily hopped about like a rabbit. The conditions in Dorm 7 had truly been dreadful.

"Don't misunderstand. I just want to live with my little sister. You guys are only coming along for the ride."

"Mhm, Na'er wants to be with Brother too. Tonight, Na'er wants to sleep with Brother." Gu Yuena nodded in wholehearted agreement.

"Lu Chen, are you and Na'er biological siblings?"

Xiao Wu raised the question, and Tang San perked up his ears as well. He was also extremely curious about how Lu Chen had met Na'er. This girl was simply too stunning.

Lu Chen glanced at Xiao Wu. How had he never noticed that Xiao Wu was such a gossip? And Tang San, with his ears perked up—Little San had already drifted farther and farther from his original self under Lu Chen's influence.

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when Na'er beat him to it. "Brother is Na'er's closest, closest person. Na'er has known Brother for several hundred thousand years. From now on, Na'er will always stay with Brother and never leave him."

Tang San was somewhat speechless. What kind of answer was that? Several hundred thousand years? Hearing that, he seemed to understand something.

This girl named Na'er had clearly never experienced much of the world. She had been tricked by the sly Brother Chen into becoming his little sister. Brother Chen truly was a menace.

Xiao Wu's reaction, however, was different. She thought of more. She remembered when Lu Chen had met her in the Star Dou Forest—he had not been afraid of Er Ming in the slightest. Er Ming was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Ordinary Soul Masters simply could not withstand its pressure.

Could the two of them both be...?

Thinking this, Xiao Wu found it highly likely. She secretly looked at Lu Chen, then glanced at Gu Yuena. She decided to find an opportunity to get closer to Gu Yuena and see if she could learn anything.

"Sigh, my little sister loves saying strange things nobody understands. Don't take her seriously."

"Of course not, Brother Chen. After all, I'm already used to it. Brother Chen, you often say things I don't understand too."

As Tang San said this, he suddenly turned to Xiao Wu and shouted, "You bold demon! I could tell at a glance you weren't human! Why haven't you revealed your true form?"

"Ah... ah!?"

Xiao Wu froze. She staggered several steps back in terror, her face turning white as snow as the world spun around her.

She had never imagined that she would be exposed so quickly after coming to the human world. It was over. She was going to die.

How did Tang San know? How did he know she wasn't human, but a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form? Where had she given herself away? He wasn't even a Titled Douluo.

"How did you know?" Xiao Wu's pale face darkened as she clenched her little fists. If he spread this news, she would certainly die. No one could resist the temptation of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Watching all this, Lu Chen's mouth twitched. "Little San, Little San, you really know how to court death. If you can't pull off a joke, don't make one carelessly."

"What do you mean, know? What do I know?"

Tang San was rather confused. According to what he had expected, shouldn't Xiao Wu have refuted him?

"Don't you already know? What are you pretending for? Are you messing with me?"

Tang San was dumbfounded too. What exactly did he know? How did he supposedly know? "I... I don't know. Brother Chen probably says that as a joke all the time."

"You just said that was a joke?"

Xiao Wu trembled with rage, her little fists cracking as she clenched them. At some point, her eyes had completely darkened, her pupils turning into specks of crimson.

"Yeah. Brother Chen often says I'm not human."

"Die! You stinking Tang San! Take this—Rabbit Kick Eagle!"

Xiao Wu erupted. That line about being a bold demon had nearly scared her into wetting herself, and Tang San was saying it had been a joke. How could she not be furious?

Seeing Xiao Wu suddenly attack him, Tang San immediately reacted. He also remembered something Lu Chen had once said: "Such petty tricks, and you dare show off before an expert? Last time, I was careless. This time, I won't lose to you."

Just as Xiao Wu's Rabbit Kick Eagle came flying at him, Tang San immediately activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

But Lu Chen was watching. How could he let Little San escape? He immediately cast Space Imprisonment, locking Little San in place for a full second.

"Ah—ahhh!!"

A series of miserable screams rang across the entire training grounds.

In the classroom, Tang San sat in a corner with a bruised and swollen face. He endured the pain while still having to listen attentively to the lesson.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu and Gu Yuena lay asleep on their desks under the teacher's hypnotic instruction.

Lu Chen sat between Xiao Wu and Gu Yuena. On the first day of school, he had become the center of attention. No—he had become the public enemy of every boy in the class.

But Lu Chen did not care in the slightest. He even wore an expression of smug triumph as he played with Xiao Wu and Gu Yuena's hair, nearly angering the other little boys to death.

"Hahaha, I just love the look on your faces when you can't stand me but can't do anything about me."

There were two classes in the morning: one on basic Martial Soul knowledge and one cultural class. Lu Chen had no interest in either.

He spent both classes staring into space.

Just then, Lu Chen suddenly sensed a suspicious gaze peering in from outside.

He activated Mind Perception and indeed discovered someone watching him from nearby.

"Someone's watching me? Who could it be?"

Thinking this, Lu Chen used the Reality Gem to create an illusion, while he himself used Teleportation to leave the classroom.

He teleported behind the watcher and deliberately lowered his voice. "Have you found any problems with the target?"

"Nothing for now. At present, the target's talent appears quite good. Even students his age, or even several grades above him, are no match for him. As expected of a genius with Innate Full Soul Power. He's worthy of His Holiness the Pope's attention."

"Oh? How did Bibi Dong find out about me?"

"Bibi Dong..." The watcher froze. He turned around, his eyes widening. "How dare you address His Holiness the Pope by name..."

"Surprised? Unexpected? Exciting?" Lu Chen said with a grin.

"You... you... I... I!" The watcher looked at Lu Chen, then at the Lu Chen still sitting in the classroom. For a moment, his brain could not keep up.

"What's with all the yous and mes? You once crossed mountains and seas, and passed through seas of people. You once possessed everything, but in the blink of an eye, it all scattered like smoke."

Clearly, the person watching Lu Chen was not very bright. Lu Chen directly hit him with Mind Control and dug through his memories for clues.

"Tsk, tsk. I didn't expect Su Yuntao to pull one over on me and send my information to the Pope's Palace. This is quite troublesome. How am I supposed to study peacefully at the academy now?"

At the end, don't forget to vote and bookmark, everyone. Every vote is very important to me.
