Among the students gathered at Wu City Stadium, Class 76 watched their counselor sitting in the field waiting for Xin Yang, and everyone could not help looking around as well.

"Where's Xin Yang?"

"Brother Yang, why hasn't he come yet?"

"He isn't scared, is he?"

"I don't know. I heard from Wang Fei that no one has been able to reach Brother Yang lately."

"Holy shit?! No way, then how are we supposed to fight?"

"In our class, he has the highest bonded ghost sequence number."

"Hell if I know how we're supposed to fight."

"Even in the game, bonded ghost sequence numbers are the most important thing."

"There are lots of instances we can't clear. We have to team up with big shots whose bonded ghost sequence numbers are high enough to get through them."

"But I heard Brother Yang's bonded ghost sequence number is especially high."

"No matter how high it is, do you think he can beat those beasts from No. 1 High?"

"If you don't believe me, let's start a match right now. I'll use a high-sequence bonded ghost and absolutely crush your low-sequence one."

As they spoke, someone pulled out a phone, ready to open Weird Revival for a round.

Just as they took out their phones and prepared to PK, a shout suddenly rang out from the Class 76 crowd.

It was the counselor's voice.

The counselor shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Xin Yang is here!"

In an instant!

The students from the other schools

And everyone in Class 76 immediately turned their eyes toward the stadium entrance.

The sun was in the east.

The stadium entrance was in the west.

When Xin Yang stepped onto the field, sunlight finally pierced the shadows and fell across his handsome face.

The Class 76 students present, especially the girls from the other schools, could not help feeling their hearts stir when they saw Xin Yang like this.

So handsome~

And "Brother," in Xin Yang's mind, naturally sensed the way those girls were looking at Xin Yang with his powerful perception.

He could not help grumbling inwardly.

Hmph, a bunch of vixens.

╭(╯^╰)╮.

Huh?

Something seems off.

I'm his "Brother"!

Why am I jealous of girls?

The counselor saw Xin Yang as well. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed the reactions of the girls around him.

A smile immediately surfaced in his eyes again.

Youth really was wonderful!

Why didn't you all act like this for the other students? The moment Xin Yang arrived, every one of you started paying so much attention to him!

Actually, it was not Xin Yang's fault.

The others had simply arrived too early, and all the good spots had been taken by the boys who came ahead of time.

The girls had arrived late and stood around the outside. They could not clearly see the faces of the boys from the other schools, and the sunlight where those boys stood was rather glaring.

So.

They paid more attention to Xin Yang.

However.

To be honest.

After Xin Yang's recent cultivation, combined with the boost in strength and temperament "Brother" had gained after killing the Drought Demon,

Xin Yang's looks could absolutely crush all those pretty-boy idols.

He did not have that effeminate kind of beauty. Instead, he gave people the feeling of a refined gentleman, gentle as jade.

On the platform.

Seeing Xin Yang appear.

The big shots all felt that this boy's temperament seemed rather extraordinary.

The principals of those schools did not have any particular thoughts.

They had come today purely to serve as decorative figureheads.

The real focus was on the people seated beside them.

One was the president of the Wu City Ghost Energy Masters Association, another was the commander of the Wu City Ghost Energy Guard and might even become Wu City's future guardian, and there were also recruitment teachers from four universities, each at the Calamity Soul rank.

The principals of these schools were merely here to make up the numbers.

Yuan Dingjiang, seated to one side, immediately brightened when he saw Xin Yang enter.

He had been observing the students on the field all along.

Because of his formidable strength, he could observe them in greater detail.

At that moment, Xin Yang gave him a feeling that could only be described in four words.

Vibrant and full of life.

Brimming with confidence.

From head to toe, he exuded a restrained yet confident aura.

And so on and so forth.

In short, Yuan Dingjiang had a very good impression of Xin Yang.

He seemed very at ease.

That attitude greatly increased Yuan Dingjiang's favorability toward him.

Thus, when Yuan Dingjiang shifted his gaze from Xin Yang to Zhang Liang on the other side,

he murmured in a voice too low for anyone else to hear, "Zhang Liang."

"What method will you use to defeat your opponent?"

"Perhaps your true opponent has appeared!"

Wang Han, seated several principals away from Yuan Dingjiang, had a sudden feeling when Xin Yang appeared.

He felt that a promising prospect had emerged.

As a first-rank Calamity Soul intern president, Wang Han had been sent by Nether Soul University to intern despite only being a third-year student, but he trusted his instincts greatly.

He said something to the assistant beside him.

He wanted this student's file!

Ten minutes later,

when Wang Han saw Wang Ziyang's file, he made his judgment.

This student's bonded ghost was neither high nor low ranked.

Its sequence number was merely 908.

People in small cities might consider that very high,

but at university, true geniuses all had sequence numbers below one hundred.

There were even rumors that bonded ghosts of an even higher grade existed before sequence number 001.

But no one knew whether that was true.

So this person's talent might be ordinary.

However.

Perhaps it was because of his many years of judging experience.

That he overlooked one thing.

He had never truly understood Xin Yang.

Today was his first meeting with Xin Yang.

Though he sat on the platform, far away from Xin Yang.

Still.

Xin Yang gave him a very bad feeling.

That feeling irritated him somewhat.

"This kid is a little strange."

Wang Han immediately made his assessment.

As someone in a position of authority.

As long as Wang Han saw someone, he could roughly analyze that person's information.

Therefore.

After seeing Xin Yang.

He knew.

This Xin Yang was definitely so confident because he had sufficient confidence in his own abilities.

Unfortunately, he only had a bonded ghost with sequence number 908.

But...

Wang Han scrutinized Xin Yang carefully.

Would this kid bring them some kind of surprise?

Or was he merely an embroidered pillow.

All show and no substance!

Although Yuan Dingjiang and Wang Han did not speak with each other.

Their thoughts and questions were the same.

And not just them.

All the other big shots present had the same question.

Kid, where does all this confidence come from?

Below the platform.

Feeling nearly everyone's gaze focused on him.

Xin Yang was quite surprised.

He really had not expected.

That so many people would come to watch today's Wu City friendly match.

It was clearly just a recruitment competition.

Xin Yang glanced around and saw students everywhere.

At that moment, he understood that Wu City was building momentum for the students.

It was just that no one yet knew who would ultimately benefit from that momentum.

Xin Yang looked at the platform again. Aside from the principals seated at the very edge, he did not recognize a single person.

He only recognized the principals because, during the celebration party the counselor had held for the class that day, the principal had come to Class 76 and offered him some encouragement.

It seemed the others were all Wu City's top big shots.

It looked like the four universities of this world placed great expectations on recruitment competitions in every city.

Xin Yang let out a soft breath and walked into the field.

"Go, Xin Yang!"

"Go, Brother Yang!"

Morning, brothers. If any of you want supporting characters in the book to have aliases, leave a book review.
