Yu Feng's face was filled with reluctance as she said, "Alright, Ling Ling, I'll definitely come to visit you often. Don't you dare find me annoying when I do!"
Gu Feng stepped forward, a gentle smile on his face. "I promised Aunt Ye that if anyone ever bullies you, no matter when, you should come to me immediately. Don't try to handle it alone."
Seeing the genuine concern from her two friends, Ye Lingling felt a warm surge in her heart and nodded. "Alright."
Once, she had always been alone. But now, in this unfamiliar academy, she had found companions who truly cherished her.
Mom, it seems I've really made friends. This feeling is so nice.
Afterward, the three of them chatted for a while longer downstairs until the academy bell rang, and they finally went their separate ways.
Gu Feng and Yu Feng headed toward the second floor, where the freshman Class 3 was located.
As they stepped into the classroom of Class 3, Gu Feng instinctively glanced around, taking in the unfamiliar faces.
He paused briefly, his gaze settling on the seat by the window at the back of the room. A thought crossed his mind:
"The back row by the window—the king's domain!"
A faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of Gu Feng's lips as he walked straight toward that seat.
Seeing Gu Feng choose his spot, Yu Feng's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she quickly followed, muttering under her breath, "Wait for me, don't leave me behind!"
The moment the two entered the classroom, they immediately became the center of attention.
Gu Feng looked like a well-behaved young boy straight out of a storybook, with his black hair and dark eyes. Though young, his delicate features already hinted at his future handsomeness.
Yu Feng, though disguised as a boy, had a fair complexion, golden hair, and blue eyes. Her every movement exuded a playful charm that made it hard for people not to take a second look.
In an instant, the students in the classroom turned their curious and admiring gazes toward them. The once noisy room quieted down slightly, and everyone's attention was firmly captured by this strikingly eye-catching pair.
Just then, a man with a goatee appeared at the classroom door.
He was thin, but his back was straight as he walked into the room with steady steps. His sharp eyes quickly scanned every face in the class before he smiled warmly and said, "Hello, everyone. My name is Xu San. You can call me Teacher Xu, or if you prefer something more casual, Old Xu is fine too. I don't mind at all."
His words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly enlivening the atmosphere in the classroom.
The students, who had been strangers to one another, gradually let go of their initial nervousness and reserve under the teacher's relaxed introduction. Many of them began to smile warmly.
"Now, I'd like to invite everyone to come up and introduce themselves. How does that sound?"
"Alright!" the students responded in unison.
A chubby boy walked up to the front and smiled warmly. "Hi, everyone. My name is Wang Gang. My Martial Soul is the Gale Demon Wolf, and my Innate Soul Power is level 5.5. My hobby is eating."
Next, a cute girl stepped forward, her voice clear and melodious. "Hi, everyone! My name is Liu Feifei. My Martial Soul is the Pale Snow Fox, and my Innate Soul Power is level 5. My hobby is studying beauty and skincare."
Her smile was utterly charming, instantly winning the favor of many classmates.
Soon, it was Yu Feng's turn. With a light and graceful posture, she walked straight to the front of the stage and confidently declared, "I am Yu Feng, my Martial Soul is the Wind Chime Bird, and my Innate Soul Power is level 7. My interest is cultivation and becoming stronger."
Hearing this, the audience below couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. No one had expected that this seemingly delicate boy before them would possess such a high level of Innate Soul Power.
After all, level 7 Innate Soul Power was already considered quite high.
Without a doubt, he was guaranteed to become a Soul Sage, and there was even a chance he could cultivate to the level of a Soul Douluo.
Soul Douluo! Across the entire continent, there were only a handful of them.
Even among these noble children, none of their families had a Soul Douluo.
Xu San silently noted down Yu Feng's name and then registered it in his notebook.
Finally, it was Gu Feng's turn.
Gu Feng walked straight onto the stage, a faint smile on his lips. "I am Gu Feng, my Martial Soul is the Bone Dragon, and I am a level 14 Battle Soul Master. I have no interests, no hobbies."
The audience below erupted in an uproar.
"No way? Did I hear that correctly? A level 14 Soul Master?"
A shrill voice was the first to speak up, the person's face filled with shock.
"He must be bragging, right? How can there be such a powerful freshman?"
Another person loudly chimed in, their face full of disbelief.
"Hmph, if he really is level 14, then I might as well be a Titled Douluo."
A chubby boy sneered, dramatically rolling his eyes, which caused the surrounding classmates to burst into laughter.
The voices of doubt grew louder and louder, surging like a tidal wave, even making the experienced teacher Xu San feel a headache coming on.
He helplessly sighed, adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and tried to mediate, "Student Gu Feng, why don't you release your Soul Ring and show it to everyone? That way, your classmates can be convinced, alright?"
Gu Feng remained calm and composed, his expression as serene as still water. He coldly retorted, "Just because you can't do it, don't assume others can't either."
With that, the aura around him suddenly changed, and waves of Soul Power instantly filled the air. In an instant, a Bone Dragon Phantom emitting a deep, mysterious light roared out from within him, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.
Following that, a Hundred-Year Soul Ring, radiating a soft glow, slowly descended from above Gu Feng's head and steadily hovered at his feet.
As the light of the Soul Ring illuminated, the classroom, which had been as noisy as a marketplace, instantly fell silent.
The kids who had been doubting just moments ago were now utterly dumbfounded, their mouths agape but unable to utter a single sound.
The classroom was left in complete silence, everyone stunned by Gu Feng's undeniable strength.
Even Teacher Xu San was filled with disbelief. He had received a heads-up earlier; Director Li had told him that there was a student in his class with an incredibly deep background, even having a Soul Sage as a protector.
He had initially thought it was just another spoiled young master from some sect here to polish his reputation, and he had even felt a bit reluctant to take on this class.
Who would have thought that what arrived was actually a super genius!
A six-year-old Soul Master—what kind of caliber was that?
Could this be Innate Full Soul Power?
Wait a minute!
The more Xu San looked at Gu Feng, the more he felt something was off. Suddenly, he remembered that Gu Feng had introduced himself earlier, saying his Martial Soul was the Bone Dragon.
Could it be...?
In an instant, Xu San's heart began to pound violently, and an indescribable excitement surged within him. Suppressing his exhilaration, he tried to keep his voice steady as he said, "Students, please wait for a moment. Your teacher will be right back."
With a flushed face and overwhelming joy, Xu San sprinted madly toward the Education Committee building.
The Bone Dragon Spirit!
This was a truly top-tier Martial Soul, one that could rival the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and perhaps even surpass it in terms of mystery.
Because in the entire world, there was only one of its kind.
Thinking of this, Xu San's feet seemed to grow wings as he dashed forward with incredible speed.
He was simply too eager to advance!
At the same time, Xu San couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. It was fortunate that he hadn't refused to take over this class, and it was also fortunate that Director Li, out of laziness, hadn't investigated Gu Feng's Martial Soul and Soul Power.
Otherwise, this immense fortune would never have fallen into his lap.
