Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

Two figures playfully bickered and walked away side by side, their youthful spirit vibrant and bright.

Wu Changkong stood still, motionless for a long time. His usually cold and icy expression softened slightly at that moment.

In a daze, the scene before my eyes seemed to overlap.

After a long while, Wu Changkong gently closed his eyes.

"Dragon Ice..."

A slight astringent feeling rose in my throat, and the long-buried wound in my heart began to ache once more.

When he opened his eyes again, the tenderness and dazedness in Wu Changkong's eyes had completely disappeared, leaving only a bottomless coldness and a very faint, almost invisible sense of melancholy.

She slowly withdrew her gaze, turned around, and walked slowly towards the classroom.

His steps were steady, and he exuded a cool and aloof demeanor.

A cold wind swept through her hair, dispelling any subtle emotions she might have felt, leaving only her usual aloofness that kept strangers at bay.

The first class this morning was physical education.

Basic physical training, running.

This is the simplest and most direct way to test physical fitness.

Wu Changkong stood on the grass beside the playground, flipping through a copy of "The Tempering of Steel" without looking up, and said, "This morning is physical training. Let's run ten laps around the playground first."

The playground at the intermediate level of Donghai Academy is a full 800 meters long.

"Do we really have to run ten laps?"

"Yeah, Teacher Wu, one lap is 800 meters! Wouldn't that be exhausting!"

"..."

The trainees all wore long faces and only dared to complain and plead in hushed tones.

Wu Changkong remained silent, only pointing to the side.

Not far away, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were wearing iron chains weighing twenty pounds.

The trainees fell silent instantly, as if a mute button had been pressed, and lined up in unison on the track.

Xie Xie, with a cat-like face, looked at the endless track and inexplicably felt weak in the legs and wanted to go to the toilet. He subconsciously looked down and repeatedly checked his shoelaces.

In the end, Xie Xie, looking like he was about to cry, was dragged onto the track by Tang Wulin.

As Wu Changkong said, talent should be used, otherwise it will be wasted.

After running less than six laps, Xie Xie collapsed on the track like a dead dog, panting heavily.

It felt like both of my kidneys had been ripped out!

Xie Xie: _(´□`」∠)_

Wu Changkong still didn't look up. "Continue."

Upon seeing this, Tang Wulin immediately slowed down and turned back, reaching out to firmly support Xie Xie's arm and helping him up.

Xie Xie struggled to open his eyes, which were stinging from the sweat.

Ha-Liluya~

Whether it was a hallucination caused by exhaustion or not, Xie Xie felt that the person in front of him was bathed in holy light, and even had an angelic halo above his head. He even looked at him gently and said:

"Just hang in there a little longer, it'll be soon."

"Waaaaah..."

Xie Xie was instantly moved to tears.

Yes, Xie Xie's lower body was completely limp, and he was only able to run because Tang Wulin was supporting him.

"Tang Wulin, you're very strong, right? If you want to help him, then run ten more laps for me." Wu Changkong raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Okay," Tang Wulin agreed immediately.

Just then, a girl slowly walked towards the school gate from the middle school playground.

The girl had long black hair, which was neatly tied into a high ponytail, with a few strands falling on either side of her face.

His eyes were a deep purple, like a pool of icy water.

She was wearing a light blue and white traditional-style dress, the off-shoulder design highlighting her slender shoulders.

The skirt and cuffs are layered and decorated with light blue patterns and ruffles, paired with matching stockings. The overall look is both girlish and charming, yet also exudes a unique coolness.

Wu Changkong's gaze casually swept over the girl.

At first glance, she was drawn to the girl's peculiar aura.

"Which class are you in?" Wu Changkong asked, his left hand, which was holding the book, hanging naturally at his sides. He took two steps forward.

The girl's gaze was first drawn to Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, before she looked at Wu Changkong and said, "Hello teacher, my name is Gu Yue. I came to study, but I missed the registration deadline."

Wu Changkong said calmly, "I'm not in charge of student recruitment."

"Ah... really?" Gu Yue paused for a moment, seemingly somewhat disappointed.

Immediately afterward, Gu Yue asked, "Teacher, I hope I can study here, is that alright?"

Wu Changkong nodded, "Okay, but you have to rely on your own abilities."

"I can take the exam," Gu Yue smiled.

Wu Changkong said no more, turned around and waved to Xie Xie on the track, "Xie Xie, give your iron armor to Tang Wulin, come here."

After resting for a while, Xie Xie's strength had recovered somewhat.

Hearing Wu Changkong's greeting, Xie Xie, despite his legs trembling like someone with Parkinson's, still forced himself to walk over. "Teacher Wu, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Changkong said directly:

"Your physical fitness is too poor. I'll give you a chance to beat her, and you won't have to run this morning."

Xie Xie's eyes lit up.

However, the moment Xie Xie's gaze fell upon Gu Yue, the smile on his face froze instantly. In that instant, his back pain and leg weakness vanished, and he turned and ran back.

"Ms. Wu, I'm sorry, the phone you dialed is currently switched off!"

"Sorry, the number you dialed is..."

This is the biggest monster in the book, a female Tyrannosaurus Rex! Even Tang Wulin would have to obediently take a slap in front of her!!

He went to fight Guyue?

What kind of international joke is this? Are you out of your mind?

Wu Changkong: "..."

"puff--"

Gu Yue couldn't help but chuckle.

Before Xie Xie could finish speaking English, he was struck hard on the head and then dragged back by the back of his collar by Wu Changkong.

Wu Changkong said with a dark face, "I'll give you twenty minutes to rest. We'll start in twenty minutes."

Seeing that he couldn't escape the clutches of evil, Xie Xie could only obediently sit cross-legged and meditate.

I hope Gu Yue won't go too far later, sob sob...

Although Xie Xie was quite interesting, Gu Yue glanced at him casually before her gaze returned to Tang Wulin.

Wu Changkong glanced at her. "Disregarding your opponent is unwise."

"I didn't look down on him," Gu Yue said with a smile.

Although she said that, she didn't spare Xie Xie her gaze at all.

Wu Changkong frowned slightly, but said nothing more.

On the track, Tang Wulin ran while keeping an eye on the center of the playground. He was also curious about what was going on with this girl who had suddenly appeared.

As he turned his head, his eyes met Gu Yue's.

Gu Yue did not look away, her eyes flickered, and she stared at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin: ...?

Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed. Was this person provoking him?

Twenty minutes passed quickly.

With his stamina fully restored, Xie Xie couldn't help but stretch, his bones cracking as he sprang up from the grass.

Xie Xie gave Wu Changkong a thumbs-up, "The cards are fine!"

After a few days, Wu Changkong had become immune to Xie Xie's strange remarks and nodded indifferently.

"Thirty meters away, get ready."

Once Xie Xie had stopped thirty meters away, Gu Yue turned her gaze back to him.

"start!"

Xie Xie went all out and dashed off.

"Shine my shoes!"

However, Xie Xie regretted it the very next second after the words left his mouth, wishing he could slap himself for his sharp tongue. Gu Yue's gaze towards him was clearly hostile!

Oh no, did he accidentally stack up Gu Yue's rage buff?
