Practice

Class Seven.

The moment Chen Jie stepped inside, Ning Tian hurried over to greet him.

Her face was unusually flushed, and a faint blush quietly rose around her eyes as she looked at Chen Jie. Even her voice carried a trace of hoarseness.

She pressed her lips together slightly and said softly to Chen Jie, "Thank you for your guidance yesterday. Could we do it again today... My Soul Power rose by two levels in one go yesterday..."

Chen Jie looked at her with a mischievous grin, reached out to gently pinch her cheek, and whispered, "Wait for me tonight. Be there or be square."

Wu Feng, standing helplessly to one side, happened to see the entire exchange clearly.

Her vivid purplish-red hair was tied in a high ponytail, and her fitted, cropped dark-red school uniform hugged her figure, outlining her voluptuous curves. It cinched in at her slender waist, accentuating every contour.

Her delicate brows knitted tightly, and anger immediately stirred in her heart. How dare he casually pinch the young lady's cheek!

Wu Feng strode forward and glared at Chen Jie, demanding coldly, "Chen Jie, what are you doing?"

Ning Tian's expression grew slightly reserved. Her tone was calm, yet brooked no argument. "Wu Feng, this has nothing to do with you. Step aside."

Then Ning Tian gave a gentle smile and naturally slipped her hand around Chen Jie's arm. Ignoring the aggrieved, suspicious Wu Feng beside them, she led Chen Jie slowly over to her seat, where the two sat down obediently.

Looking at Ning Tian's still-flushed cheeks, Wu Feng's eyes flickered with complicated emotions, and her suspicions deepened. Surely the young lady didn't really... with him yesterday...

Immediately afterward, the door to Class Seven swung open, and Mu Jin walked in. His cool voice echoed through the room. "Class begins."

Today, he wore a fitted white cotton shirt with the cuffs casually rolled up, outlining his well-proportioned arms.

Below it was a short, black, figure-hugging skirt with a side slit. The fabric was soft and close-fitting, and the slit at the side was just right.

His legs were wrapped in sheer black stockings, and on his feet were glossy black patent-leather heels with striking red soles. The red flashed in and out of sight as he walked, adding a touch of cold, glamorous intimidation.

His long, jet-black hair was pinned into an immaculate bun, with a few fine strands falling beside his cheeks.

Mu Jin stood tall. Compared with the past few days, there was something different about him. His features were warm and gentle, his cheeks carried a faint, lustrous glow, and he looked as though he had been thoroughly nourished by something. Much of his usual taut sharpness had faded, and a faint warmth rippled in his eyes as his gaze swept across all the students.

"I'll give you plenty of time today to discuss your strategy for tomorrow's Freshman Assessment. Spend today getting used to working together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Class Seven bustled with activity. The students dispersed to find their teammates, gathering in twos and threes to review tactics and hone their coordination.

At the back of the classroom, a pair of twin girls rose and walked toward Chen Jie's seat.

Their exquisite Shrek uniforms accentuated their graceful figures. The fitted cream-colored tops drew in around their slender waists, while the golden patterns made their skin look even fairer and more delicate.

Their light, fluffy, pale pleated skirts barely covered their hips, revealing straight, slender legs. The hems swayed gently as they walked, an unintentional, alluring charm hidden beneath their innocent, sweet appearance.

The older sister, Lan Susu, had a gentle, languid air. A faint smile lingered in her eyes, and she was tender as water, every movement carrying an enticing, graceful charm.

The younger sister, Lan Luoluo, was soft and lively, with a sweet, tender smile. Beneath her innocent, adorable appearance, every gesture held a captivating, playful allure that made it impossible to look away.

The sisters came to a quiet stop beside Chen Jie.

Lan Susu spoke in a soft, gentle voice, her smile faintly teasing. "Since we have plenty of time today, let's work on our coordination a little more."

Lan Luoluo tilted her head slightly, her eyes curving into crescents. Her sweet voice was soft and lingering, especially beguiling. "That's right. The assessment is tomorrow, so let's run through our timing a few more times and make sure we don't make any mistakes."

Chen Jie answered with a smile, his voice brimming with confidence. "Aw, do we really need to be that cautious? Our team will steamroll tomorrow's Freshman Assessment! Just activate Spiritual Detection Sharing when the time comes, and we can cut loose and fight however we like. Victory's guaranteed!"

At that, Lan Luoluo immediately stepped forward and gently linked her soft little hand around Chen Jie's arm, leaning closer. She blinked her large, watery eyes and coaxed him in a soft, wheedling voice, alluring and sweet. "Don't be so careless. A careful hand keeps a ship sailing for ten thousand years. We should still be a little cautious. Please?"

Chen Jie turned toward the lovely, winsome sisters and said, "All right, then let's go to the grove and practice."

They left Class Seven and headed to the quiet grove behind the school.

Chen Jie took his position and looked at Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo standing before him. Completely relaxed, he said with a smile, "Don't hold back. Both of you can come at me together. I'll take you two on by myself."

Lan Susu nodded lightly. Her usual gentleness faded from her face, replaced by a more serious look. "Then we really will go all out."

The moment she finished speaking, both sisters activated their Martial Souls.

Their beautiful, sea-blue hair instantly came alive, suddenly growing longer and multiplying. Dense strands danced and drifted around them, each carrying a faint blue glow of Soul Power. Though they looked soft, they were actually sharp, tough, and highly dangerous.

The older sister, Lan Susu, struck first, activating her first Soul Skill, Hair Net.

The long hair dancing through the air rapidly crisscrossed and knotted, weaving together layer by layer into a thick net of hair. It bore straight down on Chen Jie from the front, cutting off every escape route.

The younger sister, Lan Luoluo, followed close behind, immediately unleashing her first Soul Skill, Hair Binding.

Countless slender strands shot out from every direction like supple ropes, winding precisely toward Chen Jie's hands and feet, seeking to bind him in an instant and leave him unable to move.

Facing the assault of hair from front and rear, Chen Jie did not panic in the slightest.

A brilliant jade-green chill instantly flared around him as he activated his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul.

An enormous phantom scorpion tail appeared behind him, and a bone-piercing chill spread out at once, lowering the temperature of the surrounding air.

He immediately activated Spiritual Detection Sharing. The movement and attack trajectory of every strand of the sisters' hair appeared clearly in his mind, allowing him to predict them in advance.

Relying on those precise predictions, Chen Jie dodged with nimble steps, effortlessly avoiding every attempt by their hair to entangle or block him. A faint green, icy mist swirled around him, his aura firmly overwhelming theirs.

With both Soul Skills rendered ineffective, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo exchanged a glance, instantly bringing their years of unspoken understanding into full play.

The Soul Power within their bodies rapidly fused together, and the blue light enveloping them surged!
