"What do you mean, a unit for measuring looks? A white-haired girl who's much prettier than me? What the hell is going on?!"

Meng Hongchen gritted her teeth as she read the diary. The good mood she had felt from seeing her name mentioned twice in the Diary was instantly ruined.

She was the young lady of the Hongchen Family, a renowned goddess of the entire Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy. When had she ever been outdone by anyone in terms of looks?

Unwilling to admit defeat, Meng Hongchen immediately wanted to see for herself just how breathtakingly beautiful the girls Huo Yuhao had mentioned in the diary were!

Especially that other white-haired girl—she absolutely could not lose to her!

But just as Meng Hongchen turned around, she saw the homeroom teacher of New Student Class One enter the classroom. She could only abandon the thought of going to see those beautiful girls right away.

"Hmph! So what if they're prettier than me? Huo Yuhao said it himself: women only affect the speed at which he draws his sword, but rich women won't! And I'm the little rich woman who can make his sword even sharper!"

After consoling herself, Meng Hongchen's mood brightened again. She headed off into the distance, pondering how she could get Huo Yuhao to keep writing her name in the Diary when they had lunch together at noon and went sightseeing around Mingdu that evening.

Meanwhile, after New Student Class One's homeroom teacher, Jing Sha, briefly introduced herself and explained that she was a level-five Soul Engineer who would be their homeroom teacher for the coming years, she stood at the podium and smiled.

"To help everyone get acquainted with their classmates faster, let's begin with introductions. That student, you can start."

The girl whose name had been called showed no shyness at all. She strode straight up to the podium and said casually, "Hello, everyone. My name is Xu Tianzhen. My Martial Soul is the Sun, and I'm currently a level-twenty-five Soul Grandmaster. We'll all be classmates from now on, so if any of you run into trouble, feel free to come find me. I can easily help solve most problems."

As Xu Tianzhen's words fell, New Student Class One erupted into an uproar.

Everyone from the Sun Moon Empire knew exactly what a Sun Martial Soul represented! It was a Martial Soul that only direct members of the imperial family could awaken. Not to mention her surname was Xu, and she had said that anyone with problems could come to her for help—wasn't that practically announcing her identity as a princess of the Sun Moon Empire?

It was not just the other students. Even Jing Sha, the homeroom teacher standing nearby, looked utterly stunned. She only knew that a few students had been temporarily placed in her class; she had no idea that one of them would be a princess!

Just as the teacher was at a loss over what to do, Xu Tianzhen felt the Diary Copy in her mind begin to jump wildly.

Xu Tianzhen? If I remembered correctly, this princess of the Sun Moon Empire shouldn't have been a student at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, right? Why had she suddenly come to this academy? And why was she coincidentally in the same class as me? Tang God King shouldn't have been able to influence the Sun Moon Empire, should he? Could this be a change brought about by me, the Child of Destiny?

I couldn't figure it out. I really couldn't figure it out!

Xu Tianzhen's lips curled slightly on the podium. She exchanged a glance with Huo Yuhao, who sat by the window in the back row, then broke into a radiant smile. Ignoring the chatter below, she returned directly to her seat.

Very good. I got mentioned the moment I showed up. At this rate, getting Huo Yuhao to mention me ten times a day in the Diary will be easy, won't it? Meng Hongchen's Martial Soul can be upgraded to the level of Ultimate Ice, so there's no reason my Sun Martial Soul can't be upgraded to Ultimate Fire, right?

At the thought of her Martial Soul reaching the level of Ultimate Fire, Xu Tianzhen could not help but laugh.

That abrupt laugh made the girl who had just stepped up to the podium furrow her brow slightly in displeasure. Was she that funny? After taking a deep breath, the girl said flatly, "Ye Guyi, level-thirty-six Soul Elder."

Ye Guyi's gaze casually swept over Huo Yuhao's position. She found him staring at her in stunned disbelief, while new content gradually appeared in the Diary Copy.

??? Did I hear that right? Ye Guyi? Why was she at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy? That shouldn't be possible! No matter how I thought about it, it shouldn't be possible!

Something's wrong. This is really wrong! This couldn't be another change brought about by me, the Child of Destiny, could it? Does having a girl with the Sacred Angel Martial Soul become my classmate mean that even the Plane Will wants Evil Soul Masters to cease existing?

It sounded ridiculous, but aside from that possibility, I couldn't think of any other explanation for now.

Twice!

A faint smile appeared on Ye Guyi's face. She glanced at Xu Tianzhen without drawing attention to it, then sat back down in her seat.

She had already guessed that, like herself, Xu Tianzhen possessed Huo Yuhao's Diary Copy. That was why this princess, who should not have been at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, had come to New Student Class One.

Ye Guyi had not wanted to draw attention to herself. With the Sacred Angel Martial Soul she possessed, if Evil Soul Masters discovered her, they would absolutely stop at nothing to kill her before she could fully mature.

And strictly speaking, Ye Guyi was already older than the usual age limit for new student enrollment. However, after the teacher in charge of admissions learned of her talent and Martial Soul, he reported it to the dean of studies, Lin Jiayi. Lin Jiayi admitted her without hesitation as an exception, and at Ye Guyi's request, assigned her to New Student Class One.

It was simply because the reward Meng Hongchen had received earlier through the Diary Copy had tempted Ye Guyi beyond all resistance. She simply could not refuse such an allure!

Although Xu Tianzhen was usually rather lively and carefree, she had clearly realized that something was amiss. This woman named Ye Guyi most likely had a Diary Copy just like hers!

A level-thirty-six Soul Elder? She looks like a pretty formidable opponent! But I'm a princess of the Sun Moon Empire. Since our looks are about equal, and I'm the rich woman who can make Huo Yuhao's sword sharper, what do you have to compete with me?

Xu Tianzhen and Ye Guyi met each other's gaze, and sparks seemed to begin flying from their eyes.

At that moment, the petite girl standing on the podium smiled softly as well. "Hello, everyone. My name is Xiao Xiao. I'm a level-twenty-two Soul Grandmaster. Since we're classmates, I hope we can all get along well from now on."

Bang!

A dull thud rang out, and everyone turned toward Huo Yuhao's seat by the window in the back row. Xiao Xiao gave him a sweet smile. "Classmate, do you have something to say?"

Huo Yuhao swallowed and forced out a strained smile as he shook his head. "N-no."

Xiao Xiao's eyes flickered. After smiling at Huo Yuhao once more, she returned to her original seat.

Huo Yuhao looked at the stunningly beautiful girl seated beside Xiao Xiao. With the vision of his Spirit Eye, he could naturally see clearly that she had pinkish-blue hair, fair and delicate skin, and a pair of large pinkish-blue eyes that blinked as though she were wondering why he had reacted so intensely.

The moment he sensed her gaze, Huo Yuhao's body jolted. He tried his best to look calm, but inwardly, he could no longer stop himself from frantically writing in the Diary with his thoughts.

Hehehehe. Xiao Xiao was here, so the girl beside her couldn't be Wang Dong'er, could she? Impossible, she absolutely couldn't be Wang Dong'er! I must have guessed wrong! How could she possibly be Wang Dong'er?
