Ning Tian Comes to Make Friends? (Please Bookmark, Please Recommend)

"Class starts today."

"Yeah."

Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao on the bed and waited a while longer before the other boy finally packed his things.

After their fight, neither of them said much. Seeing how poor Huo Yuhao was, Wang Dong didn't feel like making things difficult for him anymore.

The two entered Class One. After the bell rang, an elderly woman walked in and stepped up to the podium.

"My name is Zhou Yi, and I'm your homeroom teacher!"

"My name is Mu Jin. From now on, I'll be your homeroom teacher."

Compared to the severity of Class One, the atmosphere in Class Nine was much gentler.

Mu Jin was at least a normal person. Jiang Bai looked out the window and, sure enough, Huo Yuhao's class had already begun running.

"My name is Jiang Bai. My Martial Soul is Xue Ying."

Upon hearing Jiang Bai's Martial Soul, Mu Jin curiously looked at the Xue Ying doll in his arms. A Detached Martial Soul? That was truly rare.

The others also sneaked glances at it. Almost no one had seen a Detached Martial Soul before, and some had never even heard of one.

Soon, every student in the class had finished introducing themselves.

"We also need to choose a class monitor. Usually, it should be the one with the highest Soul Power, so we don't waste the cultivation time of students with lower cultivation."

"Therefore, I recommend Ning Tian as class monitor. Although she's from the auxiliary system, her cultivation has already reached three rings, making her a Soul Elder. Does anyone have any objections?"

When Ning Tian was mentioned, she stood up as well.

As the young mistress of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tian had naturally not come here to study.

Her purpose was to recruit people here. Shrek was the place with the most geniuses, and also the place that treated geniuses the least like geniuses.

Hearing Ning Tian's cultivation level, everyone gasped. They were all about the same age, yet she was already a Soul Elder? And from the auxiliary system, no less!

Everyone knew auxiliary-system Soul Masters had a difficult time cultivating. It seemed Ning Tian's talent was incredibly formidable.

What a pity, though. It was still the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in the end.

If he ever got his hands on immortal herbs in the future, he'd have to fleece her good.

Jiang Bai knew that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was especially rich.

No one objected to the teacher's proposal, and Ning Tian gave a slight bow.

"Thank you for your trust. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me. I'll do everything I can to help you."

Nothing much was covered in the first class. After Mu Jin briefly explained some common knowledge, class was dismissed.

Everyone began their free time.

Jiang Bai didn't wander around. He simply lay on his desk and fed Xue Ying.

"So boring."

"Ying ying."

Xue Ying felt the same way. Back when they were in the wild, it could play wherever it wanted. Now, it was surrounded by bad people who wanted to pinch its cheeks.

"Jiang Bai."

A voice came from beside him. Jiang Bai looked up and saw Ning Tian, with Wu Feng standing behind her.

The red-haired girl was currently glaring at him fiercely.

"Class monitor, is there something you need?"

"Nothing. I'm just interested in your Martial Soul."

Ning Tian shook her head, then looked at Xue Ying. This was also her first time seeing a Detached Martial Soul.

"It's just a Martial Soul. There's nothing much to see."

Jiang Bai fed Xue Ying a piece of candy as he answered.

Xue Ying was indeed eye-catching outside, but Jiang Bai was afraid it would get bored if he withdrew it.

The place Xue Ying went after being recalled wasn't the Spiritual Sea, but a pure white space with absolutely nothing in it. It was incredibly boring.

"Jiang Bai, what level are you?"

"Twenty-three."

The two chatted on and off until class began.

What was going on?

Jiang Bai hadn't expected Ning Tian to come up and speak to him, but she didn't seem to ask anything else. How strange.

He'd better be careful.

When school ended at noon, Jiang Bai hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to stop him.

"Brother Jiang."

"Hm? Yuhao."

Seeing Huo Yuhao, Jiang Bai froze for a moment. Shouldn't he have been taken to Fan Yu's place by Zhou Yi? Why was he still here?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Jiang Bai's expression, Huo Yuhao seemed to realize that Jiang Bai found it strange he was still here.

"Nothing."

"Let's go have lunch."

"Alright, let's go."

On their way to the cafeteria, Huo Yuhao suddenly said, "Brother Jiang, I've figured it out."

"What?"

Figured what out? What had he figured out?

"What you mentioned yesterday—Unity of Body and Mind."

Huo Yuhao said that while running earlier, he'd thought of trying the Unity of Body and Mind Jiang Bai had mentioned yesterday. If he couldn't hold on, then he'd use Martial Soul Possession.

To his surprise, it had worked. Not only had he achieved Unity of Body and Mind, even his Mysterious Heaven Skill had evolved.

"Is that so? Then you're really impressive."

Jiang Bai couldn't help praising him. Huo Yuhao truly had great comprehension.

"Why were you running just now?"

"Uh..."

The moment that was brought up, Huo Yuhao fell silent.

Oh? He was unhappy? Good.

"What's wrong? Did that Teacher Zhou give you trouble?"

"Not exactly trouble."

Huo Yuhao didn't know how to explain it, so he recounted everything that had happened that morning in full detail.

After listening, Jiang Bai asked, "Do you think what she did was right?"

"I don't understand. Why does she think one run can decide our futures?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head. He couldn't understand why Teacher Zhou would decide their futures based on a single run.

Wasn't a school supposed to teach and nurture people?

"I don't understand either, but I think she was wrong too. Enough of that. Let's eat."

Looking at Huo Yuhao, Jiang Bai chuckled inwardly. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao hadn't said anything.

The teacher must have had her reasons for doing that. Hah—ptui.

If he'd said that, Jiang Bai would really have had to reevaluate Huo Yuhao.

"By the way, who's your class monitor?"

"Wang Dong."

"Oh."

Wang Dong? That made sense. In terms of cultivation and strength, she truly was the strongest.

"Jiang Bai?"

After the two got their meals and were about to find somewhere to eat, a voice called out from beside them.

"Hm?"

Huo Yuhao looked curiously at the newcomer. He vaguely remembered her as a classmate?

"Xiao Xiao."

Jiang Bai greeted her. He hadn't expected to run into her here.

"Huo Yuhao, you know Jiang Bai too?"

Xiao Xiao blinked her cute eyes. She remembered Yuhao very clearly.

The only Soul Master in the class at level twelve.

"Yeah."

Then, there was one more person at their table.

Xiao Xiao ate quickly. After finishing, she began feeding Xue Ying. Jiang Bai didn't stop her. It was nice not having to feed it himself afterward.

"By the way, is Wang Dong your roommate, Yuhao?"

"Yeah, she is."

"She's amazing. One yellow and one purple Soul Ring—who knows how she cultivated like that?"

"Yeah, she's amazing."

When Wang Dong's Soul Rings were mentioned, Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly as well. The gap between people was truly enormous.

"The maximum age of a Soul Ring you can absorb depends on your body. If you want to absorb stronger Soul Rings, you'll need to strengthen your physique."

"That's easy to say, but training your body is exhausting."

Xiao Xiao said, "Physical training is just too tiring. Without medicinal herbs to help, ordinary Soul Masters simply have no way to absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring as their second ring."

The three chatted for a while before returning to their dormitories.

"Tonight, I'm planning to sell grilled fish. What do you think, Brother Jiang?"

"Your grilled fish tastes pretty good. I'll come by then and help draw a crowd."

"Thanks, Brother Jiang."

That afternoon, Jiang Bai was still by the window, watching Class One run.

With Jiang Bai's reminder from that morning, Huo Yuhao was now taking physical training like running more and more seriously.

"Hm, continuing to run like this isn't enough. There are no medicinal herbs to assist him."

When it came to saving the world, Jiang Bai was more inclined to leave it to Huo Yuhao. As long as Huo Yuhao could truly grow stronger, that would be a major step toward saving the world.

Jiang Bai had no intention of starting a separate path to save the world himself. Why not lie back and win when he could?
