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

Her memories were hazy and unclear, like a tangled ball of yarn, with occasional fragmented images flashing through her mind.

Her memories were hazy and unclear, like a tangled mess that could never be untangled, with occasional fragments of images flashing through her mind—

A silver dragon, a figure prostrating in worship, and a longsword that cleaved down, stained with blood.

The images come and go quickly.

It left her with only a nameless fear and a deep-seated loneliness.

She is afraid.

She fears that one day she will become a stranger who doesn't even recognize herself.

And nobody remembers her now.

Seeing Gu Yue suddenly lost in thought and in a daze, Xie Xie raised his hand in confusion, wanting to wave in front of her.

But just as he raised his hand, a gentle breeze suddenly blew towards him.

Xie Xie subconsciously raised his hand to block, and when the wind subsided, he found a string of pendants in his palm.

A thin silver chain, with a translucent crystal pendant, inside which faintly shimmered with five colors: pale blue, light blue, silver-white, warm gold, and fiery red.

"Put it on."

Gu Yue's voice was not as cold as usual, but carried a hint of barely perceptible caution, yet she still maintained her proud demeanor.

Seeing that Xie Xie was still standing there dumbfounded and motionless, she gently hooked her finger, and the pendant automatically fell around Xie Xie's neck.

Xie Xie subconsciously touched the cold crystal on his neck.

A gentle, elemental scent slowly seeps into the skin, warm and comforting.

"This... you made it using your elemental martial spirit?"

Xie Xie was somewhat surprised. He had no idea that elemental power could be used in this way.

Gu Yue didn't deny it, but simply looked away, her ear tips faintly red in the sunlight, and replied with feigned composure:

"Just doing it on a whim."

She paused, then added in an even lower voice:

"...Don't lose it."

After she finished speaking, she turned around, her figure swayed, and a faint elemental halo emanated from her body.

The next second, she vanished from the spot as abruptly as she had arrived, leaving only a faint, cool scent in the air and the real pendant around Xie Xie's neck.

Xie Xie remained standing in the same spot, playing with the crystal.

He was very curious about the creation of the crystal. Gu Yue truly lived up to his reputation as the main body of the Silver Dragon King. Not only could he materialize, fuse, and preserve elemental power, but he could also create things that could carry elemental power.

His own martial soul also contains four elements.

Why can only the elements of time and space merge? Can't darkness and light merge?

Light and darkness merge... Holy crap, chaos!

As Xie Xie thought about it, he became more and more excited, questioning Lao Tuo, understanding Lao Tuo, and surpassing Lao Tuo!

Gu Yue hid behind a tree not far away, slowly emerging from the elemental aura.

She looked down at her hands, then looked up at the boy who was still standing there grinning foolishly. Her previously restless heart gradually calmed down.

Yes, she is Gu Yue, nothing can stop her.

Gu Yue pursed her lips, and once again a confident smile appeared on her face.

Xie Xie had just calmed down and arrived at the playground when he saw Tang Wulin scratching his head shyly, telling a senior girl next to him how amazing she was.

The moment Xie Xie saw this scene, his eyes lit up again, his gossip-loving DNA stirring.

But before he could even get a couple of bites of this melon, Tang Wulin, who was chatting with his senior, suddenly twitched his nose slightly.

The next second, Xie Xie saw Tang Wulin suddenly turn his head and lock his gaze on him with unerring accuracy.

"Thank you, Xie!"

Tang Wulin didn't even care about the senior student next to him. He turned around and ran wildly towards Xie Xie, and then he buried his head in Xie Xie's arms.

"puff--"

The sudden collision nearly made Xie Xie spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Tang, Wu, Lin!"

"Are you two out of your minds? You're both trying to murder me!!"

Chapter 46 Xie Xie: Sorry, I don't have a mother.

It took Xie Xie a lot of effort to finally pry Tang Wulin off him.

When he looked up, he seemed to see Tang Wulin's two ears drooping down, looking at him with a pitiful expression.

Xie Xie: ...

He silently turned around and covered his face.

Holy crap, this is so damn cute!

No, no, I have to hold back! Yes, I can't be soft-hearted!

Taking a few deep breaths, she suppressed her soft heart, turned her head, and looked at Tang Wulin with a serious expression.

"Tang Wu..."

"Xie Xie, I'm sorry." Tang Wulin suddenly grabbed his hand and pressed it against his cheek, rubbing it softly.

Looking at the soft, adorable creature in front of him, Xie Xie fell silent.

The next second, blood gushed from his nose three feet high, and then he fell backward.

Crit!

-6666 (Red)

Tang Wulin panicked instantly, frantically trying to help Xie Xie up, "Xie Xie, are you alright?!"

Xie Xie shakily gave a thumbs up.

"I'm fine, I'm okay!"

The upperclassman, who was not far away, watched the two clowns interacting, covered her mouth and chuckled, then left on her own.

The two had just finished breakfast and arrived at their classroom when the announcement for a grade-level meeting came over the loudspeaker.

Wu Changkong, still with a cool and aloof expression, led the students of Class 5 to the playground for assembly. Things were different now; as soon as they appeared, the eyes of the other first-year classes all turned to them.

Of course, the main responsibility still falls on Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue.

Immediately, discussions arose.

"We're celebrities now, aren't we?" Gu Yue chuckled softly.

Tang Wulin shook his head. "It's nothing. Besides, I shouldn't have done that. It was wrong for them to hurt Xie Xie, but it was also wrong for me to hurt them. After all, we're all classmates."

After saying that, Tang Wulin thought for a moment and added, "But if I could do it all over again, I would still do it that way."

Gu Yue nodded in agreement, "Me too."

If she could do it all over again, she would choose to unleash the Ice and Snow Wind once more.

At this point, Gu Yue turned to look at Xie Xie beside her, only to find that he was idly picking at his fingernails.

She immediately tapped Xie Xie on the head in an annoyed manner.

"Look at Tang Wulin's awareness, you should learn from him."

Xie Xie clutched his head, looking utterly aggrieved. How could this be related to him? He was clearly the victim!

While the three were chatting, all five first-grade classes arrived. At the front of the line, not only did the Dean of Studies, Long Hengxu, arrive, but Dean Yu Zheng also came in person.

Xie Xie only saw Wei Xiaofeng in Class 1 of Grade 1. As for Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, he guessed they were still lying in their hospital beds.

When he left the infirmary, he saw that the two people were still unconscious.

I wonder if they fainted again after waking up. After all, the two of them were wrapped up like mummies, with only their eyes showing. Just looking at them made me feel the pain shared by Xie Xie.

Long Hengxu was the first to step onto the stage, his hands gesturing as if pressing down.

The previously somewhat chaotic playground instantly fell silent, and everyone turned to look at Long Hengxu on the podium.

Long Hengxu wasn't in a hurry. After gesturing to Yu Zheng, he slowly spoke:

"Today we are holding this special first-year meeting to announce two things."

Upon hearing that the results were about to be announced, everyone perked up.

"First, due to the special circumstances of this year's first grade, the winning class in the first grade will no longer participate in the subsequent promotion competition."

"The rankings of each class in the first grade will be adjusted according to the results of the promotion competition. The original Class 5 will be moved to Class 1, and the remaining classes will follow the same pattern."

Long Hengxu continued, "In recognition of the outstanding performance of Class 1 of the new first grade in this year's promotion competition, all students in the class will be rewarded with a Class A meal every day for the rest of the semester as a commendation."

These words immediately caused an uproar in Class 1, Grade 1.

Apart from Xie Xie and Gu Yue, none of the students in the new class could afford the Class A meals; every breakfast they ate was a huge nutritional boost!

The taste is secondary; the main thing is that it's beneficial to cultivation.

When this was mentioned, Tang Wulin was the most excited, so much so that tears streamed down his face.

Ye Yingluo, who had become the homeroom teacher of Class 2 in the first grade, looked even more gloomy, because this reward was a great humiliation to her, and it also cost the three strongest people in their class the opportunity to go in.

"but!"

Long Hengxu's tone suddenly changed, becoming low and serious.

"Given that the participating students from Class 1 and Class 2 of Grade 1 did not uphold the principle of 'friendship first, competition second' during yesterday's competition, the awards for the participating students from these two classes are hereby cancelled!"

They made it sound very strict, but in reality, there was no real punishment.

The promotion competition for first-year students doesn't offer much in terms of rewards; it's just about moving up a grade, not like Shrek Academy. Although Shrek Academy has a bad atmosphere now, the benefits it provides to its students are genuinely plentiful.

"In addition, the college's board of directors has made a decision."

"We will select the most outstanding students in this year's class for intensive training, starting with the first-year students, and establish a special class for them—"

"First grade, Class Zero!"

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

This is something that has never happened before since the establishment of Donghai Academy.

"Quiet!" Long Hengxu shouted.

The chatter gradually subsided.

"The students in Class Zero were selected from existing classes, and there are currently six of them."

"Class 1, Grade 1: Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Gu Yue. Class 2, Grade 1: Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, Wei Xiaofeng. Teacher Wu Changkong will serve as the homeroom teacher for Class 0, Grade 1."

Wu Changkong remained expressionless.

He was notified immediately after the college board made its decision last night.

It was precisely because of this incident that she was called away, which gave Xie Xie the opportunity to slip out of the infirmary; otherwise, she would have made Xie Xie lie on the hospital bed for another half a day.

After Long Hengxu finished speaking, it was Principal Yu Zheng's turn to speak.

In response, Xie Xie chose to turn off the receiver.

If you really want to hear it, just search for "Academy 100-Day Countdown Rally" and then put it in the Douluo Continent background. I wouldn't say it's very similar, but it's exactly the same.

A string of whispered words drifted slowly into Xie Xie's left ear and then drifted out softly from his right ear.

What are you babbling about? Hurry up and liberate us!

Finally, Xie Xie accurately gleaned the word "disband" from a pile of nonsense.

As soon as he took a step with his left foot, Tang Wulin and Gu Yue accurately predicted his move and grabbed the back of his collar at the same time.
