Yu Tianheng: Yan! No! Yan!

Ning Rongrong took his hand and nimbly jumped from Chen Xin's sword onto Su Li's sword.

The tips of the girl's ears reddened as she muttered to herself.

"It's quite warm..."

Su Li smiled faintly and turned back to remind her, "Stand steady."

As soon as he finished speaking.

He controlled the Pure Jun Sword and launched forward in a sudden burst.

"Ah~"

Ning Rongrong instinctively fell against him, wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing her whole body to his back.

In less than half a second, her entire face had turned red.

"Damn it! Su Li, did you do that on purpose?!"

"Ahem... It's my first time flying on a sword. It's normal to be a little unfamiliar with it."

Su Li was not lying. He truly had not done it on purpose.

After all, he was only a level thirteen Soul Master. Being able to fly on a sword was already impressive enough; controlling it perfectly steadily was basically impossible.

After that.

Su Li seemed to have grasped some kind of trick and barely managed to stabilize the sword.

Ning Rongrong still held his waist tightly, afraid she would be flung off.

"Bad guy~"

"Hm? Young Sect Master, what did you say?"

"I said you really are a genius!"

"Oh, there's no need to feel inferior."

"???"

Su Li sucked in a breath and rubbed his waist.

Her hands were so soft—how could her pinch hurt so much?

Forget it, forget it.

He would not stoop to the level of a little brat.

A moment later.

The people from Heaven Dou Royal Academy spotted them as well.

Everyone turned to look, their eyes widening in shock.

"Holy shit! Flying over Heaven Dou City? Who's tired of living?!"

"Ahem... Are you fucking blind? Can't you recognize the Seven Kill Sword?!"

"Holy shit! That seems to be Sword Douluo..."

"Who are those two?"

Whether they were new students who had just enrolled or older students, the moment they looked up at the two flying in front, their pupils abruptly contracted.

This... such little kids, and you're telling me they could fly on swords?!

And besides.

Flying was one thing, but why was there such a cute, pretty girl behind him?!

Damn it!

Did it have to be this outrageous?

At that moment.

A Soul Emperor teacher had originally intended to come over and lecture them, but upon seeing Chen Xin, he immediately forced a fawning smile onto his face.

"Ahem! Greetings, Your Excellency Sword Douluo!"

"I am a recruitment teacher of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. These must be the talented Young Master Su and Young Miss Ning, the Young Sect Master of your esteemed sect?"

Chen Xin gave him a bland glance and nodded. "That's right."

"Good, good, good! I'll handle their enrollment right away!"

"Mhm."

Chen Xin looked at the two little ones before him, reached out, and rested his hands on their heads. His voice carried a trace of gentleness. "Attend your classes properly at the academy."

"Don't waste your time."

"Especially you, Rongrong. Don't cause any trouble. This isn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, understand?"

Ning Rongrong nodded, then walked behind him and pushed at his back with both hands. "Oh, enough already, Grandpa Sword. Hurry up and go back."

"Su Li and I can go on our own."

With that said.

Ning Rongrong grabbed Su Li's arm and ran off like a gleeful child.

"Ahem! Your Excellency Sword Douluo, I'll go keep an eye on them."

After clasping his fists and bowing, the recruitment teacher hurriedly turned and followed after them.

With his hands behind his back, Chen Xin watched their retreating figures and shook his head. "Sigh, Su Li should keep Rongrong in line, right?"

"That boy is far less troublesome than she is."

A moment later.

Chen Xin's figure flashed and vanished from the spot.

Leaving behind the envious gazes of the students.

"Damn! Flying on a sword is so cool! I want to awaken a sword martial soul too!"

"So those two are geniuses from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. But why aren't they cultivating in their sect?"

"Am I the only one who thinks that little brother is really handsome? And judging by his age, he probably just awakened his martial soul. I can't believe he can already fly on a sword!"

Quite a few boys and girls around Su Li's age became curious about him as they listened to the discussions around them.

Flying in Heaven Dou City, and he had just awakened his martial soul?

They were all the same age, so why was the gap so enormous?!

Had they already lost at the starting line before they even began?

Su Li did not know that his reputation had already spread through a small part of the academy.

After completing the enrollment procedures.

The two left the admissions office and prepared to head to Class One of the junior division.

As for the dormitory.

Ning Rongrong said she did not plan on staying there.

She had already bought a luxurious villa near the academy. From then on, she would stay there when going to and from school.

Su Li could not help but sigh at how nice it was to have money.

Everything became convenient.

"This Royal Academy really is pretty big. Come explore it with me later."

"Aren't we going to report to class?"

"Oh, come on! Does being a little late matter?"

Su Li stared at her profile, and within just a few seconds, the girl's cheeks turned pink.

"Y-You... what are you looking at?! Let's go!"

"Mhm."

Su Li followed her. He felt that ever since he had taken her flying on a sword, this girl's attitude toward him had become better than before.

And she was also... more easily embarrassed?

No.

Little girls were off-limits.

At the very least, she had to be older.

At this moment.

In the intermediate class.

A purple-haired girl lay sprawled across her desk and yawned sleepily.

Propping her chin up with one hand, her eyelids drooped.

She was bored right now. She had just finished a theory class and had nearly fallen asleep.

Compared to that.

A fight would be much more satisfying.

"It'd be nice if Little Li came. Then I could play with him..."

Dugu Yan muttered softly, but the girl beside her heard it.

"Play with what?"

"Nothing."

A moment later, the girls in the class let out faint squeals.

They stared excitedly at the handsome young man in lavish clothes.

"Yu Tianheng! He came to see Dugu Yan again?!"

"A handsome man and a beautiful woman—they really do seem like a perfect match."

"Wuwuwu~ It would be so nice if Yu Tianheng pursued me..."

Dugu Yan lifted her eyelids and looked at Yu Tianheng as he walked toward her.

"Need something?"

The young man adjusted his collar and revealed a gentlemanly smile. "Yan, how about I treat you to lunch today?"

"I specifically reserved..."

Before he could finish, Dugu Yan waved him away irritably. "Go away. I'm not interested."

Yu Tianheng froze, wondering if he had heard wrong.

Although they had not been especially close before.

They still had a fairly good relationship as classmates.

She would occasionally accept his invitations to meals.

Why did she look so impatient with him today?

What exactly was going on?

Could it be... Yan was in a bad mood?

Yu Tianheng felt that was probably it, and his gaze grew even gentler.

"In that case, I'll come again tomorrow."

With that said.

Yu Tianheng did not pester her further and politely got up to leave.

When he was halfway out.

Someone suddenly ran in from outside and let out an excited howl.

"Holy shit! The eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect actually came to our academy!"

"You didn't see how adorable she was!"

"And the boy who came with her was unbelievably good-looking! Despite being so young, he could actually fly on a sword! He shocked so many people!"

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up. Like she had been injected with adrenaline, she dashed outside at top speed.

Yu Tianheng's eyes widened as he stared at her retreating back in stunned disbelief.

"Yan?"
