Intellectual Older Sister Yu Xiaogang!

"I'm screwed. Where the hell did this send me?"

Su Yang stood before an ancient stone gate, staring up at the four words on its plaque—"Nording Academy." His whole world had gone sideways.

Just a second ago, he had been in his rented room on Blue Star, slurping snail noodles while scrolling on his phone when he came across a bizarre post:

[If you were transported to Douluo Continent and could feminize five out of the following nine characters, which five would you choose?]

Below it was a list of names: Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, Tang Hao, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Poison Douluo, Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, Dai Mubai.

Su Yang had snorted at the time, thinking it was just a silly post for laughs.

He casually picked 1, 4, 6, 7, and 9: Yu Xiaogang, Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, Qian Daoliu, and Dai Mubai.

Pure absurdity.

Then... there was no then.

By the time he came back to his senses, he was already standing here. He wore coarse linen clothes, with tiny hands and feet. Looking down—well, damn. Was this the six-year-old version of himself?

Su Yang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He had read about transmigration hundreds of times in novels. Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. Besides, he knew the plot of Douluo Continent so well he could recite it backward. In his previous life, he had been a die-hard fan. Plot developments, opportunities, locations, character relationships—they were all etched into his mind.

No big deal.

He quickly examined his body. A warm current flowed within him, carrying a faint sensation like a flower blooming.

"Martial Soul..." Su Yang closed his eyes and focused his thoughts.

A phantom of a golden chrysanthemum slowly emerged in his palm. Its petals were crystal-clear and glimmered with faint light, while a gentle, rich aura spread outward.

Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!

Su Yang's pupils contracted.

This was one of the top plant-type Martial Souls in the original story, an existence on the level of immortal medicinal herbs! Cultivate it to the extreme, and one would possess an indestructible body and immunity to all poisons!

He hurriedly sensed his Soul Power—Innate Ninth-Level Soul Power.

It was not Innate Full Soul Power, but it was still enough to make him a genius among geniuses. On Douluo Continent, anyone with Innate Soul Power above level seven was already a talent that major factions would scramble to recruit.

"Not bad." Su Yang let out a sigh of relief, a smile curling onto his lips. "This isn't a terrible start."

Just then, he noticed a little boy standing beside him.

The boy looked about six as well. He wore faded cloth clothes and stood nearly half a head shorter than Su Yang.

His features were rather delicate, and his eyes were dark and bright. Yet at the moment, he was staring blankly ahead, his gaze muddled as though he had not fully woken up.

Su Yang recognized him at once.

Tang San.

However, Su Yang did not feel any particular admiration for the original protagonist.

When he had read the novel in his previous life, he had always felt Tang San had relied on his background and luck to cheat his way through everything. On the other hand, his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, had theories upon theories but was a complete disaster in practice—a textbook case of empty talk.

If nothing unexpected happened, the next part would be the apprenticeship scene with Yu Xiaogang.

I'm not taking that useless loser as my master, Su Yang silently decided.

The two of them were soon brought to a registration desk. The teacher in charge was a middle-aged man wearing reading glasses, flipping through their Martial Soul records with an impatient expression.

Su Yang's record read: Martial Soul—Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Innate Ninth-Level Soul Power.

Tang San's record read: Martial Soul—Blue Silver Grass, Innate Full Soul Power.

"Blue Silver Grass? Innate Full Soul Power?" The teacher looked up and sized Tang San up as if he were an idiot. "Kid, did you get this wrong? How could a useless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass possibly have Innate Full Soul Power?"

Tang San frowned. Before he could speak, several students nearby began jeering as well.

"Exactly! Isn't Blue Silver Grass just roadside weed?"

"Innate Full Soul Power? That has to be fake!"

"He probably cheated. Someone like him can attend Nording Academy?"

Strangely, Tang San did not argue. He still looked confused, leaving Su Yang somewhat puzzled.

Just as the other side was about to continue making things difficult, the crisp sound of high heels came from afar.

"Click, click, click..."

The sound was neither hurried nor slow. Every step landed steadily, like an elegant rhythm that stood out sharply amid the noisy campus.

Everyone's attention was drawn over.

Then everyone froze.

A woman was walking toward them.

She appeared to be in her early thirties, tall and curvaceous, wearing a sharply tailored dark academic dress. Its hem fell just below her knees, revealing a stretch of slender calves wrapped in black stockings.

She wore a pair of black stilettos, making her already tall figure appear even more poised and elegant.

Her long dark-purple hair was loosely pinned up with a silver hairpin, several strands hanging by her cheeks and swaying gently with each step. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses rested on her face, and behind the lenses were wise, slightly melancholy eyes that seemed to conceal endless untold stories.

Her features were exquisite without being ostentatious, the kind that became more captivating the longer one looked. Above all, her intellectual and elegant temperament, paired with the distinctive charm of a mature woman, made her impossible to look away from.

Su Yang's pupils suddenly shrank.

Damn—she was way too gorgeous!

He had seen plenty of beautiful women online in his previous life, but the impact this woman had on him was something no internet celebrity could compare with.

This was a charm that radiated from within, a temperament refined by time and wisdom—the true aura of an elegant mature beauty!

Su Yang had to admit it: she hit every one of his preferences hard.

But wait...

Who was she?

Was there even someone like this in Douluo Continent? Hadn't the original story only mentioned Yu Xiaogang at Nording Academy? Since when had such a stunning woman appeared?

While Su Yang was still confused, the surrounding students had already begun whispering among themselves.

"Look, look! It's Master!"

"Wow, Master looks so beautiful today too..."

"I heard Master's theoretical knowledge is incredible. There are barely any people on the entire Douluo Continent who can compare!"

"Isn't that true? Though apparently she offended Spirit Hall and came to Nording Academy to hide."

"Ah, what a shame. Someone so beautiful and talented was forced into this situation."

Master?

Su Yang's mind buzzed.

Nording Academy's Master... wasn't that Yu Xiaogang?!

He abruptly turned toward the woman, his eyes widening like bells.

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Wasn't Yu Xiaogang supposed to be a greasy middle-aged man?! How had he become like this?!

Then he remembered the choices he had made in that post.

[Yu Xiaogang]—he had chosen her.

[Feminize]—he had chosen it.

"Holy shit!" Su Yang could not stop himself from swearing. "You actually did it?!"

His entire mind was a mess.

He had thought he had transmigrated into a normal Douluo Continent, only to find that this world had been altered by his damned choices?!

Yu Xiaogang had become a woman. Then what about the others? Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, Qian Daoliu, Dai Mubai... had they all become women too?!

Su Yang felt the world spin around him.

He had originally planned to thrive in this world using his knowledge of the plot, but now the entire plot had gone off the rails. What use was his so-called foresight now?

While Su Yang was frantically complaining inwardly, the woman had already arrived before them.

She stopped in front of Su Yang and Tang San, first giving them both a glance. Then she raised a hand to adjust her gold-rimmed glasses, her gaze falling on the Martial Soul records in their hands.

"Oh?" She took Su Yang's record and looked it over, one brow lifting slightly. "Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum... Innate Ninth-Level Soul Power? Not bad. A good seedling."

Then she picked up Tang San's record. The moment she saw it, her expression clearly shifted to surprise.

"Blue Silver Grass... Innate Full Soul Power?"

She raised her head and stared intently at Tang San, as though she were looking at a rare treasure.

"Interesting, truly interesting." She muttered to herself. "A universally recognized useless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass actually awakened Innate Full Soul Power... Tsk, tsk... There's a secret here."

The woman smiled faintly, her smile gentle and intellectual, as comforting as a spring breeze.

"My name is Yu Xiaorou. I am a guest lecturer at Nording Academy, specializing in Martial Soul theory. You may call me Master."

Yu Xiaorou...

Hearing that name, Su Yang's mouth twitched.

Well damn, even the name had been changed to sound more feminine.

Yu Xiaorou's gaze swept back and forth over the two of them, excitement glinting in her eyes as though she had found two uncut gems.

"Innate Full Soul Power and Innate Ninth-Level Soul Power—you are both rare talents." She paused, her tone becoming more solemn.

"I, Yu Xiaorou, have devoted my life to researching Martial Soul theory, and I believe I possess some insight in this area. If you are willing, you may take me as your master. I will teach you everything I know and help you walk the path to becoming strong."

Su Yang was dumbfounded, because an icy mechanical notification suddenly sounded in his mind—
