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

Gu Yue really couldn't resist teasing him.

Xie Xie is like a firecracker; he explodes at the slightest touch and is easily calmed down.

If you give him a little something, he can instantly transform into a large canine, staring at you with bright eyes and wagging his tail wildly.

Who was the genius who invented this? It's so much fun!

"fart!"

As expected, Xie Xie instantly bristled. Although his legs were shaking like a leaf, he still forced himself to get up, with veins throbbing on his forehead.

A man should never say he can't do it!!

"What's wrong with me? I can do it every day!"

"You cheated last time, so let's have another match!"

The flames in Gu Yue's left hand suddenly condensed, and he sneered, "Come on then, who's afraid of you?"

"You son of a bitch...!"

Xie Xie had just taken a step when his legs buckled again, and he knelt down in front of Gu Yue with a thud.

Xie Xie: "..."

Gu Yue: "Pfft—"

Gu Yue's shoulders trembled slightly as she suppressed a laugh and gently tapped Xie Xie's knee with the twig. "I didn't force you to kneel."

Xie Xie's face flushed red; at that moment, he wished he could dig a hole and crawl right inside.

As she laughed, Gu Yue looked at Xie Xie's embarrassed state, which seemed to be about to evaporate on the spot, and her hand reached out faster than her brain.

The moment her fingertips touched Xie Xie's arm, Gu Yue froze.

Xie Xie suddenly chuckled mischievously to himself, and with lightning speed, seized the fleeting opportunity, deliberately using her strength to pull her hard.

You want to see me make a fool of myself? Well then, you can join in!

Gu Yue, who was half-squatting on the ground, instantly lost her balance, cried out in surprise, and was pulled down by him, falling next to Xie Xie.

Seeing Gu Yue fall beside him, Xie Xie immediately forgot his embarrassment at kneeling, raised his chin, and sneered, his tone full of smug satisfaction at having achieved his revenge:

"Haha! Gu Yue, you said I'm no good, but you fell down yourself!"

"Waaaaaaah!"

He was laughing heartily, completely unaware that Gu Yue's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

The next second, Gu Yue suddenly raised her hand and delivered a swift and decisive blow to Xie Xie's head.

"Thank you, Xie!"

"Ow!"

Xie Xie cried out in pain.

Then, his inherent stubbornness kicked in, and he refused to suffer this loss.

Xie Xie immediately pushed himself up with both hands and used the momentum to grab Gu Yue's face.

"Just kidding, you old hag, I'm not afraid of you!"

Gu Yue was pulled so hard that her center of gravity shifted again. She simply stopped trying to get up, grabbed Xie Xie's wrist and twisted it to the side, sneering, "Fine, who's afraid of who?"

And so, the two of them started wrestling on the training field.

There are no fancy soul skills; it's like a fight between kindergarten kids—you grab my collar, I pull your hair.

After a while, the two of them rolled around in a ball.

Xie Xie's hair was disheveled and covered in dust;

Gu Yue's skirt was also torn into several wrinkles, and her cheeks flushed slightly from the effort, but her eyes were full of anger.

"Let go! Why are you pulling my hair?!"

Gu Yue lowered her voice and scolded, but her fingers gripped Xie Xie's hair tightly. With a little force, Xie Xie grimaced in pain.

"You grabbed me first!"

Xie Xie was not to be outdone. He grabbed Gu Yue's wrists with both hands and tried desperately to pry her hands off his hair.

Their foreheads touched, their noses almost touching, and their breathing became rapid from the struggle.

There was absolutely no romantic atmosphere; both of them were filled with the fighting spirit to trample the other underfoot.

Not far away, the students who had been lying on the ground resting after being wiped out all sat up.

No matter where you are, the instinct to gossip is ingrained in human DNA.

Tang Wulin wanted to step forward and break up the fight, "Don't fight..."

"Don't come any closer!"

"Don't come any closer!"

Xie Xie and Gu Yue said in unison.

Their eyes met, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

"Don't mimic me!"

"Don't mimic me!"

The two of them were taken aback again.

"Are you trying to be clever? Why do you have to mimic my way of speaking?"

"Where did I learn from you? You're the one who copied me, okay?"

Neither of them could convince the other, and they started fighting again.

“…Sigh.” Tang Wulin sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

"enough!"

Just then, a cold voice boomed like thunder.

The two people who were wrestling suddenly froze.

Xie Xie was still in the position of half-supporting himself.

Gu Yue's fist hovered in mid-air, only centimeters away from his face.

Wu Changkong had already walked up to the two of them without them noticing. His brows were furrowed and his tone was icy. "It seems that the training this afternoon still didn't allow you to burn off your excess energy."

The two locked eyes once again.

Both of them saw a hint of guilt in each other's eyes, and then they turned their heads away at the same time, angrily letting go of each other's hands.

Seeing that the two had separated, Wu Changkong continued:

"Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Gu Yue, come find me after dinner."

"No, Teacher Wu!" Seeing Wu Changkong's resolute back, Xie Xie let out a wail and collapsed on the playground once again.

Gu Yue had already gotten up and dusted himself off.

She glanced at Xie Xie, who was sprawled on the ground, and sneered, "Tch, pathetic!"

Chapter 16 Special Training (Part 1)

The evening sunset bathed the playground in a warm orange hue.

Gu Yue was the first to arrive. She stood by the track with her arms crossed, her purple hair gently swaying in the evening breeze.

Xie Xie was half-dragged, half-pulled over by Tang Wulin, still muttering, "We're still practicing after school, Teacher Wu is too cruel..."

Before he could finish speaking, a tall figure was seen walking from the direction of the teaching building.

Wu Changkong walked slowly, the setting sun falling obliquely on half of her cheek, outlining a soft contour, even her usually cold eyebrows and eyes were gilded with a layer of warm gold, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

Under the shade of a tree not far away, a number of older students had already gathered there.

They leaned against the railing in twos and threes, their gazes fixed on Wu Changkong as if drawn by a magnet.

"You three, come with me." Seeing the three of them, Wu Changkong turned and walked deeper into the academy.

The three men followed behind her.

Wu Changkong led them to an indoor training ground behind the academy, which Long Hengxu had prepared especially for her.

Because Wu Changkong not only sincerely apologized to Long Hengxu, but also said that he would not cause him any trouble in the future and would cooperate with his work, Long Hengxu was overjoyed.

When Wu Changkong asked for the training ground, Long Hengxu immediately gave him the green light.

They even almost moved the training grounds from the senior students over.

The training ground is a square shape, and when the internal soul guide protective shield is activated, a faint light membrane will envelop the training ground.

Wu Changkong led the three of them to the center of the field and stood there.

“Starting today, the three of you will receive my special training every night.”

Wu Changkong said calmly, "As for the content of the training, it will be determined based on the results of the previous day's training."

At this point, her gaze first fell on Tang Wulin.

"Tang Wulin, your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. The reason I chose you back then was because I really had no other choice. Now that Gu Yue has arrived, you have seen her talent and strength."

"But what I said will not go back on its word."

Wu Changkong paused for a moment, then continued, "I hope you can show me through your efforts that you are indeed qualified to represent Class Five in the competition. If you fail to meet my requirements in three months, then..."

Although Wu Changkong didn't finish speaking, Tang Wulin naturally knew what he meant.

"Yes……"

Tang Wulin was somewhat disheartened; his talent was ultimately his biggest weakness.

Xie Xie scratched his head. Actually, Tang Wulin's talent was not bad either. It was mainly because he was restricted by the Golden Dragon King's seal, but each had its own advantages.

If Tang Wulin didn't have the Golden Dragon King bloodline, he would probably have started with maxed-out innate soul power and the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul. Although he lost his talent for forging, his talent for cultivation would definitely be outstanding.

However, in that case, there would be no opportunities like in the original work, and the upper limit would probably be only a quasi-god.

The Golden Dragon King bloodline gave Tang Wulin an opportunity to reach the God King level.

Even without the Golden Dragon King, Tang San, with his personality, would never let his son suffer a loss; at the very least, he would become a first-level god.

"Dance teacher. I will not compete in his place."

Gu Yue suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm?" Wu Changkong looked at her.

Gu Yue said calmly, "I am a transfer student, and I don't want to affect others because of me. So, please rescind your decision, and I will not participate in the competition."

Just as Wu Changkong was about to speak, Xie Xie, who had been watching the show, silently raised his hand.

"Um, isn't the minimum requirement for playing in the promotion tournament two people? It's perfectly fine for three people to play together... Ouch!"

Before Xie Xie could finish speaking, he was subdued by Wu Changkong with one hand and then thrown aside.

Xie Xie: ...?

So am I just part of your game?

Tang Wulin finally spoke up, not only helping Wu Changkong out of the predicament but also demonstrating his efforts and determination.

Wu Changkong raised an eyebrow in response, which was taken as approval.

"Teacher Wu, let's talk about the special training instead." Tang Wulin changed the subject.

Wu Changkong nodded, "No matter what kind of training you do, the goal is the same: to increase your strength."

"In my view, all strength comes from actual combat."

"Therefore, your special training will only focus on actual combat."

"I will use real combat to unleash your potential and enhance your combat experience. I will explain to each of you first, and then we will begin the real combat."
