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

In his sleep, the moment Xie Xie met the dragon's eyes, the previously empty space was instantly churned into a raging storm, completely engulfing him.

The sudden feeling of suffocation made Xie Xie open his eyes abruptly.

When he opened his eyes, he was once again met with those familiar big black eyes.

"What is it now?" Xie Xie asked irritably.

"Here you go." Tang Wulin placed 10,000 Federal Dollars in cash on Xie Xie's bedside table.

The distinctive smell of cash instantly jolted Xie Xie awake. He forcefully suppressed the uncontrollable urge to smile and forced a stern expression, coldly asking, "What do you mean? You want to avoid a fight?"

Tang Wulin shook his head.

"I had no choice before, I really didn't have the money. But I was the one who damaged the public property, so I can't let you pay for it. I'll give you 10,000 first, and I'll give you another 10,000 later."

After saying that, Tang Wulin thought for a moment and added, "I will keep my promise. You can find a place after school tomorrow."

As soon as Tang Wulin finished speaking, Xie Xie quickly took the Federal Coins and stuffed them into his storage soul tool.

It's foolish not to take the money.

The next morning, Xie Xie was woken up by Tang Wulin.

Xie Xie's soul sat up first, then turned around and slapped his body before his body groggily sat up.

My consciousness was hazy; I mechanically brushed my teeth and washed my face.

It wasn't until he followed Tang Wulin to the cafeteria and drank a mouthful of piping hot porridge that he finally understood.

"Ouch—it's so hot!"

The hot porridge, fresh from the stove, scalded Xie Xie awake.

Xie Xie put down the porridge in his hand, rubbed his eyes and yawned, and vaguely saw what looked like a small mountain across from him? Wait a minute, where would a mountain come from in the East Sea Academy's cafeteria?

Xie Xie looked closely—it's Baozi Mountain, then it's alright.

That's right, sitting opposite Xie Xie was Tang Wulin. In front of him was a pile of food: milk, eggs, sausages, and steamed buns. The most numerous of these were the steamed buns, which were neatly stacked into a small mountain.

Xie Xie calmly sipped his porridge while watching Tang Wulin across from him devour steamed buns one after another, without even bothering to chew.

After watching a live food broadcast, Xie Xie drank an extra bowl of porridge for breakfast.

Tang Wulin, sitting opposite Xie Xie, seemed embarrassed by Xie Xie's gaze. He slowed down his eating of steamed buns and sipped his milk slowly.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Xie Xie only drank two bowls of porridge and ate an egg; this was a Class A meal.

The porridge Xie Xie just drank was made with top-quality spirit grain rice, simmered over a low flame until the grains were completely dissolved, with a thick layer of rice oil on the surface, which is the essence that nourishes the blood and qi of a soul master.

Add to that ten years' worth of Spirit Valley Potato Cubes, Soul Plant Fruit Crumbles, and Qi Nourishing Fruit, and the nutrition is far superior to a hundred steamed buns.

The sun was high in the sky when the opening ceremony began.

"Hello, students."

"Every year at this time, I feel a mix of emotions!"

"Because a group of students from the intermediate and advanced divisions graduated and left the academy. But at the same time, some students moved up from the intermediate division to the advanced division, and new students joined the intermediate division! In my opinion, the academy is like the Federation's lifeblood production institution..."

It seems that wherever school starts, there will always be a speech from the principal.

The senior and intermediate departments were all gathered in the square at this moment.

Xie Xie stood at the very end of the intermediate section, listening with a drowsy expression. His head was nodding off, and sleep bubbles were even appearing on the tip of his nose.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but the sounds coming from the square woke him up again.

"Each class teacher will take your students back to their classrooms to familiarize them with the academy."

Through his blurry vision, Xie Xie seemed to see someone walking towards him. He rubbed his eyes, and when he saw who it was, he was completely dumbfounded.

The newcomer was dressed in a plain white outfit, his clothes spotless.

Her long hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, its color an icy blue almost like the vast ocean, making her neck appear fair and slender, yet also conveying a sense of aloofness that kept strangers at bay.

Her features were extremely clear and cold, and her dark green eyes were exactly the same as Xie Xie's.

She had a straight nose, pale lips, and eyes that seemed to hold the essence of a thousand years of ice and snow, clear and pure, without a trace of worldly warmth.

Each step was as light as falling snow, yet it instantly silenced the entire square.

There were no superfluous decorations, nor a trace of femininity, only a cold and aloof demeanor.

Just standing there, she was like an ice lotus blooming alone on the summit of a snow-capped mountain, breathtakingly beautiful, indescribably beautiful.

The crowd in the square was stunned, their eyes all fixed on her, and they even unconsciously held their breath.

Xie Xie was so shocked that his jaw dropped to the ground.

Hey, beautiful lady, who are you?!

"You lot, come with me."

The woman parted her lips slightly, her voice clear and melodious, like shattered jade falling onto an ice plate. After speaking, she took the lead and walked into the teaching building.

Xie Xie followed the person in front of him blankly into Class 5 classroom.

The classroom has thirty sets of desks and chairs, with the podium at the very front.

"Take a seat," the woman said coldly.

Xie Xie sat down blankly in the window seat, with Tang Wulin sitting to his right.

Once everyone was seated, she merely raised her eyes slightly, her gaze sweeping over the entire class without the slightest ripple, yet like an icy blade brushing across, instantly silencing the clamor.

But what she said next made Xie Xie's heart clench instantly.

"My name is Wu Changkong."

The woman said calmly, "For the next six years, you will all be my students."

Wu Changkong stood in front of the podium, his posture as straight as a sword, dressed in white, his eyes cold and beautiful, and he seemed to be surrounded by a layer of coldness.

"The first thing I want to emphasize is that you should just pretend you didn't hear what the dean just said."

"Even if you're a bunch of good-for-nothings, I'll make you the best among your peers. Unless you drop out, this is your goal for the next six years."

She spoke the most arrogant words in the most indifferent tone, yet no one in the classroom questioned her.

This aura alone tells you he's a big shot, is there any need to question it?

"Do you all understand?"

However, no one answered; the whole class was captivated by Wu Changkong's magnificent appearance.

Wu Changkong didn't care and continued, "Now, let's begin the self-introductions. Name, martial spirit, soul power level, and what kind of soul master you want to become. Begin."

Wu Changkong pointed in a direction, and Yun Xiao happened to be the first person in the first row in that direction.

Although Yun Xiao was also a little stunned, she quickly recovered and stood up, her tone still tense:

"Hello everyone, my name is Yun Xiao."

"Martial Soul... Star Chart, Soul Power Level 12. My goal is to become an intelligent support-type Battle Soul Master."

Wu Changkong didn't speak, but simply turned his gaze calmly to the next person.

Behind Yun Xiao is Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin stood up. When Wu Changkong's gaze fell on him, he suddenly felt inexplicably nervous. "Tang Wulin, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, Level 11. The target is..."

At this point, Tang Wulin paused for a moment before speaking again, "I don't have a target yet."

Just as Tang Wulin finished speaking, a sudden voice rang out from diagonally in front of him:

"Haha, my martial soul is the useless Blue Silver Grass, of course it has no purpose... ugh~"

The boy was speaking when a box of chalk shot out like a guided missile, landing precisely in the student's mouth and stuffing it full.

The bitter taste of the chalk immediately made the student gag.

It wasn't over yet. Just as the student bent over to gag, the chair beneath him suddenly tilted, causing him to fall flat on his face. The chalk he had just spat out was forced back down his throat.

Tang Wulin turned his head to look and just happened to see Xie Xie whistling and subtly retracting his leg.

Noticing Tang Wulin looking this way, Xie Xie raised his index finger to his lips and winked mischievously with his left eye.

"Shh~"

Tang Wulin was taken aback at first, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before a faint smile spread across his face.

He also winked at Xie Xie without making a sound.

It was a silent way of thanking them.

Finally, Tang Wulin straightened up and met the cold gaze from the podium. His expression was calm, showing no sign of embarrassment.
