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

Xie Xie, who had secretly done something naughty, turned his head with a smirk, only to find himself staring into Wu Changkong's eyes.

Xie Xie guiltily turned his head away.

Fortunately, Wu Changkong's gaze didn't linger on him for long. He quickly turned to the student who was sprawled on the ground in a disheveled state, his lips parting slightly, his tone indifferent and devoid of any emotion:

"In this world, there are no useless martial spirits, only useless people."

"Before calling others useless, think about what kind of person you are first. If you weren't useless, would you have been assigned to Class 5?"

His tone was calm, yet it silenced the entire classroom.

"continue."

"My name is Zhou Changxi!" Zhou Changxi, standing behind Tang Wulin, jumped to his feet and shouted almost at the top of his lungs, "My martial soul is the Hercules Ape, and my soul power is level eleven! My goal is to become a strength-type battle soul master!"

……

After going around in circles, it was finally Xie Xie's turn.

"My name is Xie Xie, my martial soul is the Light Dragon Dagger, my soul power is level 18, and my goal is to become an agility-type battle soul master."

The words had barely left his mouth when they were met with gasps of surprise from the class.

A genius like Xie Xie should be in Class 1, so why was he assigned to Class 5? Whispers spread among the students.

Xie Xie couldn't be smug.

The one on the podium is the real genius, a twelve-year-old Soul Master with four Soul Rings. If it weren't for the incident involving Long Bing back then, the position of captain of the Shrek Seven Devils would probably have been taken over long ago.

Wu Changkong's gaze remained indifferent, lingering briefly on Xie Xie before naturally turning to the next person.

After Xie Xie sat down, he stroked his chin again and began to think, his mind already wandering.

If Wu Changkong has turned into a woman, then wouldn't she and Long Bing be...?

Are the lilies in my hometown in bloom?

After the whole class had introduced themselves, Wu Changkong spoke again: "Classes will officially begin tomorrow. My teaching method is different from other teachers. If you are afraid of hardship, fatigue, or pain, then transfer schools as soon as possible, or try to transfer to another class. Those who stay should be mentally prepared."

"Alright, get out of class dismissed."

After saying that, Wu Changkong left, wearing white high-heeled ankle boots.

As soon as Wu Changkong's figure disappeared through the door, the once deathly silent classroom erupted into a cacophony of discussions, mostly about the stunningly beautiful yet aloof new homeroom teacher.

"Xie Xie, let's go." Tang Wulin stood up and called to Xie Xie.

"Here we are!" Xie Xie caught up with Tang Wulin in one stride.

As soon as the two stepped out of the classroom, they found the entire corridor in chaos, with the direction Wu Changkong had left blocked by senior students.

"Tang Wulin! You're actually in Class 5?!"

A surprised voice rang in their ears.

Tang Wulin turned his head to look, and a beautiful figure was already in front of him. It was Liu Yuxin, the senior student who had brought him to the academy when he enrolled yesterday.

"Senior, senior?"

Tang Wulin was a little confused for a moment. "Yes, my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, so I was assigned to Class 5..."

Liu Yuxin waved her hand, so excited she was almost incoherent: "That's not what I meant! I meant, the aloof goddess is your homeroom teacher!!"

"A cool and aloof goddess?" Xie Xie also came over from the side with great interest.

"Yeah, yeah!"

In her excitement, Liu Yuxin didn't even bother to find out who Xie Xie was, and blurted out, "You probably don't know, but Teacher Wu Changkong is the most beautiful woman in our college, though she's a bit aloof. She used to teach our advanced class, and we all adored her!"

"Senior, if that's the case, why did Teacher Wu get transferred to the intermediate department?" Xie Xie pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds from somewhere and cracked them open, casually slipping some to Tang Wulin.

In the original novel, Wu Changkong had a fierce conflict with the director of the senior department's teaching affairs office, and even broke the other party's leg, which led to his demotion to the intermediate department.

But now that Wu Changkong has become a woman, the plot should have changed, right?

As a Chinese person, the instinct to gossip is ingrained in my DNA. Even if the gossip is made of shit, I still have to take a bite.

At this point, Liu Yuxin's expression clearly turned somewhat indignant. "That's a long story..."

Seeing that Liu Yuxin was about to launch into a long speech, Xie Xie raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Then please make this brief, senior."

Liu Yuxin pursed her lips, "He was our senior department's former head of teaching, and he liked Teacher Wu."

"Back then, he made a huge fuss about pursuing the dance teacher, and everyone in the academy knew about it. However, the dance teacher wasn't interested in him and rejected him many times, which made him angry and embarrassed."

"It was quite a commotion. The two of them started fighting right there in the senior teaching building. Many of us witnessed it!"

"And then what?" Xie Xie's eyes lit up.

He instinctively reached out to grab some, only to find that all his sunflower seeds had been knocked away.

She turned to look at Tang Wulin, who was quietly holding the peeled melon seeds in his palm, ready to eat them.

Xie Xie: Secret Technique - Stealing While You're at It!

With the speed of someone who's been single for twenty years, Xie Xie snatched the melon seeds from Tang Wulin's hand, downed them in one gulp without batting an eye, and urged Liu Yuxin to continue.

Tang Wulin was clearly taken aback for a moment, then smiled helplessly and simply started peeling melon seeds for Xie Xie.

"The ending was incredibly satisfying!"

Liu Yuxin looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before cautiously approaching the two of them, lowering her voice and speaking with a hint of excitement:

"I heard that Teacher Wu broke that director's third leg! Hehe!"

"well played!"

Xie Xie immediately gave a thumbs up.

Liu Yuxin proudly raised her chin: "Of course."

"Let me tell you, Teacher Wu is the most amazing teacher in our academy! She's beautiful, has a great figure, teaches exceptionally well, and has incredibly high cultivation! She has six spirit rings, making her a true Soul Emperor!"

"Six...six spirit rings?!" Tang Wulin, who was peeling melon seeds, paused, his face full of shock.

Xie Xie remained calm.

After all, Wu Changkong was already a six-ring Soul Emperor at the age of 18, and was the most dazzling genius of that generation of Shrek Academy. The reason why he is still a six-ring Soul Emperor now is simply because he has not cultivated for more than ten years due to a mental block.

If he had continued cultivating, Xie Xie estimated that he would probably have already reached the threshold of becoming a Title Douluo.

"So~" Liu Yuxin leaned closer to the two of them again.

"Could you please take some photos of the goddess for your senior?" Liu Yuxin pulled out a small soul-guided camera without saying a word and stuffed it into Tang Wulin's hand.

"I'll leave the photos to you now, bye!"

Tang Wulin stared blankly at the camera in his hand. "Senior, are we really going to take this picture?"

Liu Yuxin had already run some distance when she turned back to wave at the two of them, smiling brightly: "Of course it's true, bye-bye!"

Xie Xie, seeing a soul-guided camera for the first time, was very interested. He snatched the camera from Tang Wulin's hand and fiddled with it, exclaiming, "Hey, how do you use this thing?"

Xie Xie frowned, his fingertips randomly poking at the camera screen.

A moment later, he gestured with his chin toward Tang Wulin: "Tang Wulin, come take a look. I've been trying to figure this out for ages, but I still can't understand it. Could this soul-guided camera be broken?"

Tang Wulin had no doubts. Upon hearing this, he immediately moved closer, lowered his head slightly, stared at the camera, and carefully studied the buttons on it.

"Let me see... I think it should be here?"

Just as Tang Wulin approached, Xie Xie wrapped his arm around him and pulled him close, while quickly pressing the shutter button with his other hand.

"Click—"

A crisp sound rang out, and a group photo full of youthful energy was captured.

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and looked helplessly at Xie Xie: "Xie Xie, you..."

Xie Xie held up his camera triumphantly, his smile sly and arrogant: "That's called outsmarting him, baby~"

Upon hearing the word "baby," Tang Wulin's cheeks flushed instantly. He subconsciously overreacted and dared not look at Xie Xie again.

Seeing the light pink tinge on Tang Wulin's ear tips, Xie Xie's smile grew even more mischievous. He deliberately moved closer, his warm breath almost brushing against Tang Wulin's cheek.

"Oh dear, is someone shy? Shy just for taking a picture?"

Tang Wulin hurriedly shrank back, unsure of what to do with his hands, and stammered, "Who...who's shy! Give me the camera quickly, what if you break it..."

He reached out to grab it, but Xie Xie nimbly dodged backward.

Xie Xie held up his camera, flipping through the photos he had just taken, and clicked his tongue twice: "I'll pay for them if you mess them up. They're really good-looking, the two of us are absolutely gorgeous!"

As Tang Wulin listened to his serious words, his heart beat even faster for no reason. He could only turn his face away and pretend to look at the scenery, but his ears turned even redder and he didn't dare to say another word.
