Over the next few days, Tang Wulin spent all his time at Donghai Academy. As a student, he naturally had to attend his classes.
During this time, things progressed just as they had in the original story. Wu Zhangkong naturally arranged training for both him and Xie Xie.
To Xie Xie, however, the training was undoubtedly both painful and rewarding. Though it was exhausting, the results were exceptionally good.
To Tang Wulin, though, every bit of it seemed rather pointless. His talent and bloodline had already reached the highest level, leaving virtually no room for improvement.
Put simply, it was like someone eating ten jin of meat every day and still being unable to gain even a little weight. Everyone's constitution was different.
Wu Zhangkong merely frowned, admitting that he had underestimated Tang Wulin's talent. He told Tang Wulin that ordinary meditation would be enough for him.
Thus, amid meditation, occasionally giving Mu Xi pointers, and accompanying Ouyang Zixin on shopping trips, another week passed.
Tang Wulin naturally had a very comfortable time during this period, while Xie Xie was suffering miserably. Clearly, he was nowhere near as fortunate as Tang Wulin.
"This is the thirteenth lap today..."
Xie Xie gritted his teeth and ran alone around the field, panting heavily as he muttered to himself.
This was already his fourteenth lap today.
As an Agility Attack-type Soul Master whose speed was not particularly fast, he ran countless laps around the enormous field every day to improve his speed and attack endurance.
Of course, not only was he forbidden from using Soul Power, but he also had to wear the twenty-jin iron uniform specially made by Wu Zhangkong. For an Agility Attack-type Soul Master who relied on lightness and agility, this was an enormous blow.
At the same time, however, the benefits he gained were far greater than from ordinary cultivation.
"Gu Yue still hasn't come?"
Elsewhere, Tang Wulin sat cross-legged on the field. As he quietly meditated, he could not help wondering in confusion.
He had not been at Donghai Academy for long, yet Na'er's other incarnation had still not appeared?
He no longer clearly remembered when she had first appeared in the original story after so much time had passed, but a week had already gone by. She should have arrived by now, right?
"As the female lead."
"You can't be late."
With that thought, he focused on his cultivation once more.
"That kid Wu Lin..."
"If he keeps cultivating like this, he'll probably break through to Rank 24 before long."
Wu Zhangkong stood nearby, observing Tang Wulin as he thought to himself.
He had to admit that, based on his observations, Tang Wulin's cultivation efficiency was extraordinarily high. Even among geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power, he was likely among the very best.
"Rank 24 at nine years old."
"That really makes others jealous..."
Wu Zhangkong shook his head as he thought this, then turned his gaze toward Xie Xie.
For the past two days, Xie Xie had mainly been working on improving his speed. His Soul Power cultivation speed was also far inferior to Tang Wulin's.
However, for Xie Xie, whose current speed and endurance were both lacking, this was truly necessary. Besides, it would not delay much of his meditation time.
"Rank 18 at nine years old is already pretty good, logically speaking."
"But compared with Tang Wulin..."
Thinking of this, Wu Zhangkong could not help muttering with a sigh.
Xie Xie was clearly quite outstanding too, but compared to someone like Tang Wulin, he truly could not measure up at all.
"Hmm?"
Just then, a girl walking toward them from afar caught his attention—
She was a girl dressed in white trousers and a white top.
She looked about the same age as the first-year students. She was not breathtakingly stunning, but she was still very pretty.
She had long black hair and black eyes. Her figure was above average among children her age, very well-proportioned, and her large eyes shone with spirit.
What drew the most attention was that her steps seemed to carry a special rhythm as she walked, while an unusual aura surrounded her.
"Which class are you from?"
"Why aren't you in class right now?"
Wu Zhangkong's gaze lingered on her for a moment. After sizing her up, he asked calmly.
In his view, this girl was not wearing Donghai Academy's sky-blue uniform. Moreover, class was already in session. Could she have skipped class?
"I'm not a student at Donghai Academy yet."
"But I hope to study here. Is that okay, Teacher?"
The girl spoke with a serious expression.
"You want to study here? Although the enrollment period ended many days ago..."
"If you can defeat a student from our class, I'll let you join."
"Xie Xie, step forward."
Wu Zhangkong looked at the girl before him, thought for a moment, and said this.
If it had been another teacher, they would certainly have sternly refused a student arriving late and asking to join. But for Wu Zhangkong...
Hmph, rules? Beat him first, then talk about rules!
"A fight?"
"Fine."
Hearing his proposal, Gu Yue nodded. Then her gaze unconsciously shifted to the side, ultimately settling on Tang Wulin.
Clearly, he was her target.
"This is... Gu Yue!"
Hearing the commotion around him, Tang Wulin instantly opened his eyes and looked over, thinking to himself.
Speak of the devil.
He truly had not expected that he had just been wondering why she had not arrived, only for her to show up now.
"Gu Yue is obviously beautiful. How could she merely be called delicate-looking? Still, compared to Na'er, she is indeed slightly lacking..."
"But that special aura around her is truly unforgettable. As expected of someone who inherited the Silver Dragon King's temperament."
Tang Wulin examined her and could not help thinking this.
No matter how one looked at it, her appearance, beauty, and especially her aura were all excellent. She was clearly a beauty, yet the original story had merely described her as "delicate-looking."
"Does Great Buddha Tang have some strange obsession with fusion or something?"
"Whether Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er becoming Tang Wutong, or Gu Yue and Na'er becoming Gu Yuena, neither was as good as before, yet he insisted on making it sound so wonderful..."
"Tang San really is an idiot."
Tang Wulin could not help sighing.
"Why is the Golden Dragon King..."
As he watched her, Gu Yue was also observing Tang Wulin. Facing him, who possessed the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline, Gu Yue, who had followed the aura here, felt somewhat... stunned.
Yes, stunned!
Before arriving in this city, she had naturally known that it would be the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. But this bloodline concentration seemed far, far higher than she had imagined!
It was nearly one hundred percent!
"Even if the Golden Dragon King had been reborn or reincarnated, he shouldn't possess such an intense bloodline."
Gu Yue could not help muttering. A trace of astonishment appeared in her indifferent eyes as she spoke.
Others might not sense it clearly, but any dragon-type Martial Soul would be completely unable to resist under his suppression.
As the Silver Dragon King, she naturally understood this perfectly. But why was his bloodline so much stronger than even her, despite her hidden strength?
It even gave her the urge to feel that the Golden Dragon King was somehow Tang Wulin himself.
"I should complete my bet with Na'er first."
"Human emotions are the most fragile things. That nonsense called love? I don't believe in it! Impossible!"
Gu Yue came back to her senses, gave Tang Wulin one final glance, and thought this.
She would definitely make him fall in love with her!
