Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

The immense impact was felt, but fortunately, the skateboard's levitation and stabilization system activated instantly, dissipating most of the force along with Ye Chen and the flying platform, causing Ye Chen to merely "float" a few meters to the side.

But the person who was hit was in a much worse situation.

“Ouch…it hurts!”

After a short gasp, the other person was knocked backward and fell to the ground with a thud, followed by a cry of pain and grievance.

She instinctively covered her forehead with her hand, her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly, clearly indicating that she had been hit quite hard.

Ye Chen immediately jumped off the skateboard and quickly went forward to check.

Although Ye Chen dissipated most of the force during the collision, the opponent's speed was still considerable.

In addition, Ye Chen himself was quite tough, and the other party bumped into Ye Chen without any warning, so it still hurt a bit.

"Senior, are you okay?"

Ye Chen squatted down, reached out to help the other person up, and spoke apologetically.

This was his oversight; he had just been distracted.

Although his mental scan detected someone approaching the corner, Ye Chen's gaze was subconsciously drawn to the other person's appearance, and he didn't react immediately...

The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old and was wearing a standard silver-gray school uniform with gold trim from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Even so, it's clear that her body proportions are quite good.

Her long, smooth, jet-black hair was now somewhat disheveled from the fall, with a few strands clinging to her forehead and cheeks, which were slightly damp with sweat from the pain.

The other person had a very pretty face, with fair skin and delicate features, especially a pair of large eyes that looked watery with pain and tears, giving them a languid and dreamy air, commonly known as a natural airhead...

Ye Chen's gaze quickly swept over the student information badge pinned to her chest, which clearly read "Sixth Grade - Orange".

Based on this name, along with her unique temperament and appearance, Ye Chen instantly confirmed her identity—it was none other than Senior Sister Orange from the original work, who possessed exceptional talent in the field of soul guidance technology and was later known as the "Goddess of War."

Ye Chen felt a little amused and a little helpless.

His future plans required the use of Orange, so he intended to use Xiao Hongchen's connections to get to know Orange, but he never expected...

This is how we meet each other now.

"Ugh... Why aren't you watching where you're going as you run so fast!"

Orange covered her forehead, staring at Ye Chen with teary eyes, looking utterly aggrieved.

She felt a burning sensation on her forehead, which must be swollen, and her head was buzzing from the impact, with stars appearing before her eyes.

"I'm so sorry, senior. I'm really sorry. It's my fault. I was in a hurry and didn't notice the corner."

Ye Chen was very sincere and quickly apologized.

He reached out, carefully avoiding the hand that Ju Zi was using to cover her forehead, and helped her up from the ground by supporting her elbow.

"Where did you get hurt? Let me take you to the infirmary so you don't break anything."

He looked at the small bump that had quickly swelled up on Orange's fair forehead. Although it looked somewhat comically cute, it was clear that she had been hit quite hard.

In other words, Ju Zi is a level 48 Soul Master, whose physical abilities far exceed those of ordinary people.

For an ordinary person, this would probably result in a bloody head injury.

Even so, she was in excruciating pain.

With Ye Chen's help, Ju Zi stood up, still feeling a little dizzy. She shook her head, trying to dispel the dizziness.

Upon hearing Ye Chen mention going to the infirmary, she immediately shook her head: "No, no, I can't go to the infirmary, I'll be late, and the teacher will definitely scold me again..."

Xuan Ziwen is very strict with his students.

Although she was often late, she still didn't like being nagged by Xuan Ziwen.

"Senior, how about this, I'll take you there. My flying pedals are very fast, you should be able to catch up," Ye Chen offered.

It's obvious they want to make amends.

Yes, instantly boosting my favorability.

"Flying pedals?" Upon hearing this, Orange looked in the direction Ye Chen was pointing, puzzled.

When she saw the silver metal pedal floating on the ground, her big, teary-eyed eyes widened instantly!

"Wait! What kind of soul tool is that?"

Orange's voice was filled with shock and curiosity, "How can it float in mid-air without any jet nozzles or obvious leakage of soul power? This... this doesn't conform to aerodynamics and basic soul guidance principles!"

Although Ju Zi's cultivation level was a bit low, her talent in soul tools was truly amazing, which is why Xuan Ziwen valued her.

At the same time, she is extremely curious and possesses a strong scientific research spirit.

Ye Chen's "flying pedal" instantly ignited her curiosity, and even the sharp pain on her forehead seemed to be temporarily forgotten.

She even subconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to get a closer look, completely forgetting that she was late for class.

Seeing Ju Zi's expression, Ye Chen was both amused and exasperated.

Orange's transformation is too fast.

"Senior, this is a flight platform, which I created myself."

Ye Chen gave a brief explanation, but still reminded her, "Senior, class is almost time. Let me take you to class first. We can exchange communicator numbers and chat later."

"Yes, yes, we can't be late..."

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi immediately realized what was going on.

However, she still turned on the "All-Encompassing Communicator" on her wrist, intending to save Ye Chen's number right now, as if afraid that Ye Chen would run away.

Ye Chen had no choice but to quickly exchange contact numbers and add each other on the phone.

During this process, Ju Zi looked closely at Ye Chen's handsome face, and her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

I was only focused on the pain and shock just now, but now that I've calmed down a bit, I realize that the junior who bumped into me is actually quite good-looking, and very pleasing to the eye.

"This kid really has a handsome face..." Orange thought to herself.

Getting to know such a junior from junior school helped her to gradually dissipate most of her frustration and grievances.

"Okay~"

Ye Chen put away his communicator, pointed to his footrest, and said, "If we don't leave now, we'll be really late."

"Yeah yeah~"

Orange nodded quickly, but a strange smile played on her lips, clearly indicating that she was in a good mood.

It seems that since she knows Ye Chen, she doesn't mind being late today.

"pat~"

Ye Chen stepped onto the skateboard first, and the skateboard hovered steadily.

He reached out his hand to Ju Zi: "Come on up, senior."

As Ju Zi looked at Ye Chen's outstretched hand, a barely perceptible blush flashed across her face.

However, she still naturally grabbed Ye Chen's hand and carefully stood on it.

The pedal dipped slightly, but immediately stabilized.

There was still plenty of space between the two of them standing together, but Ju Zi subconsciously leaned closer to Ye Chen's back, with the distance between them less than five centimeters.

"Hold on tight, senior," Ye Chen reminded her.

Orange subconsciously reached out and grabbed Ye Chen's clothes, moving closer to him again.

This position made her cheeks feel a little hot, because she could clearly smell Ye Chen's body fragrance, which smelled exceptionally good.

This was the first time she had ever been so close to a boy.
