Douluo Continent: Conflict descends, gods are slain and gods ascend!

To this day, Gu Yue still remembers the feelings she gleaned about Yun Chen from the memories belonging to "Na'er" when she first regained her memories.

It was a complex emotion, a mixture of intimacy, attachment, and fear. Gu Yue, who did not understand human emotions, regarded it as a disgrace and cut it off without hesitation.

But when she actually met Yun Chen, she realized that even though she had given up those feelings, a strange fear still grew in her heart when she faced Yun Chen.

This situation puzzled Gu Yue. She even considered having the ferocious beasts secretly eliminate Yun Chen, this strange being. However, considering that she would eventually merge with Na'er, and that Na'er's feelings for Yun Chen were so special, she hesitated.

To avoid any psychological flaws after the fusion, Gu Yue had to abandon the idea. However, upon enrolling at Donghai Academy and discovering that the Golden Dragon King's host and Yun Chen were both there, she resolutely decided to distance herself from Yun Chen and go to the Golden Dragon King's side to plot for the bloodline power she coveted.

"What is so special about that person? What was the source of that fear back then? And why can't I feel it anymore?" Gu Yue was very puzzled.

"Could it be that the fear I felt back then was also due to the aftereffects of separating from Na'er?" Gu Yue finally came to this conclusion, blaming everything on that stupid dragon, Na'er.

……

Many students in Class One witnessed what happened at the classroom door. Generally speaking, the students in Class One felt a sense of superiority over students from other classes. Although they were still just children, they were, after all, Soul Masters, and their physical and psychological development matured much earlier than that of ordinary children.

Especially under the class division system at Donghai Academy, they developed confidence in their talents at a young age. However, they had witnessed Gu Yue's battle with Xie Xie, which is why they didn't look at the aloof girl with prejudice.

As soon as I entered the classroom, Zhang Yangzi greeted me: "What did that guy from Class 5 want with you?"

Compared to the arrogant Wei Xiaofeng and the somewhat taciturn Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi is the easiest to get along with.

"It's nothing, she's just delivering some things for someone else," Yun Chen replied.

Hearing Yun Chen say that, Zhang Yangzi shrugged. He thought he was going to hear something more interesting, but it turned out to be just that.

Soon, the bell rang for class.

After giving the students a period of theoretical lessons, Ye Yingluo began to shift her focus towards practical application. She took the students of Class One to the playground and had them spar and practice against each other.

Once on the playground, Wei Xiaofeng sidled up to Yun Chen and said, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Don't lose to anyone else before you meet me."

Ever since learning about Yun Chen's soul power cultivation level, Wei Xiaofeng had been holding back a strong desire. He didn't believe he was really inferior to Yun Chen; in fact, he felt that with his speed and coordination with his soul spirit, even if Yun Chen's soul power was higher than his, he might not necessarily be able to defeat him.

Zhang Yangzi and Wei Xiaofeng, who were standing to the side, also looked at Yun Chen: "It's a pity that the teacher arranged a one-on-one sparring match, otherwise Jin Xi and I would definitely show you how powerful we are."

"Then you guys have to work harder." Yun Chen replied calmly, "My soul power has broken through again, and I'll probably be level 30 soon."

"Holy crap!" Wei Xiaofeng exclaimed in surprise, "How could it be so fast!?"

He remembered Yun Chen saying he came at level 28. How long has it been, and he's already leveled up his soul power?

Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi exchanged a glance. Both possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, granting them the ability to fight opponents of higher levels. Even in a one-on-one situation, they didn't believe they couldn't contend with stronger individuals. Wang Jinxi, in particular, possessed a Bone Dragon Martial King Soul that granted him formidable power, far surpassing that of ordinary Beast Martial Soul Masters.

But when they heard Yun Chen say he was almost level 30, the two were still somewhat surprised. Was this cultivation speed a little too fast?

However, Ye Yingluo didn't give them much time to think, and the sparring session was quickly arranged. The first to go on stage were Yun Chen and another student from Class One. As a teacher, she was also eager to see how strong her student with the highest soul power level was.

Despite knowing Yun Chen's strength, the student in the same class, who was fighting him, was not intimidated and instead mustered his courage to launch the first attack. Unfortunately, Yun Chen anticipated his attack, and just as his outstretched hand was about to grab Yun Chen's shoulder, Yun Chen threw a punch, striking him squarely in the face.

A heavy punch sent the man crashing off the stage. He sat on the ground, staring blankly at Yun Chen standing there. He truly hadn't expected that he couldn't even withstand a single punch.

Ye Yingluo announced Yun Chen's victory with a blank expression. After watching this match, she understood that the gap between ordinary students and Yun Chen was too great. If she wanted to find out Yun Chen's true strength, she would probably have to rely on the other two-ring Great Soul Masters in the class.

With this in mind, she made a plan.

After the first round of sparring, Ye Yingluo immediately paired Yun Chen and Wang Jinxi together. As soon as the two stepped onto the stage, Wang Jinxi prepared for battle.

The difference in soul power put a lot of pressure on Wang Jinxi, but he didn't want to give up. He wanted to try to find a way out on his own.

The sparring began quickly, and Wang Jinxi immediately summoned Wuhu Possession. At that moment, his right hand also transformed into a bone claw, which was his first soul skill, Bone Dragon Claw.

Just as he was about to launch his attack, Yun Chen's figure rushed over.

"Come on, Ah Jin, let me see your power." Yun Chen threw a punch without any attempt to hide it.

Facing Yun Chen's punch, Wang Jinxi did not back down and swung his Bone Dragon Claw to meet it.

"Bang!"

A dull thud rang out, and Yun Chen and Wang Jinxi each staggered backward. However, judging from the distance they retreated and the stability of their stances, Yun Chen had the upper hand in this collision.

Zhang Yangzi, sitting on the sidelines, stared wide-eyed. This was the first time he had ever seen Wang Jinxi lose in a clash of strength! And to his surprise, he discovered that Yun Chen hadn't even released his Martial Soul yet!?

"Fighting against the Golden Seal with his bare hands? Is this guy even human?!" Zhang Yangzi exclaimed in surprise.

His words startled Wei Xiaofeng, who turned to Zhang Yangzi in bewilderment: "What did you just say?!"
