Zhang Lexuan stood on the opposite shore, gazing into the distance. The night wind blew her jet-black hair backward, and her flawless face, illuminated by the moon, exuded a cold and ethereal beauty.
"Whoosh-"
A beam of golden light pierced the air and landed steadily beside her.
She turned her head, and her eyes revealed a look of unsurprised certainty. Her red lips parted, "The Six-Winged Angel is said to be invincible in aerial combat, known as the first soul skill of the sky. Setting aside other factors, its speed is indeed very fast."
The angelic wings dissolved into points of golden light, and Ling Bai smiled, "Just a legend, Senior Sister, don't take it too seriously."
"You're just pulling my leg."
Ling Bai smiled without a word, seemingly acknowledging Zhang Lexuan's words.
He had set out the latest but had surpassed the food soul master girl's level-four soul conductor propulsion device and the Emerald Phosphorus Snake, Dugu Lin, arriving first at Sea God Island. The speed of the Six-Winged Angel was indeed remarkable.
"Those people following you were from the Nine Treasures Crystal Sect, right?" Zhang Lexuan asked, her tone filled with certainty.
"Yeah."
This was not a secret worth hiding. Ling Bai said straightforwardly, "My companion who reported with me is the sect's future successor. The sect leader was worried and sent dark guards to escort us."
Ling Bai had long discovered the dark guards of the Nine Treasures Crystal Sect. When the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon ambushed Ning Tian, he had thought the dark guards would intervene, but they managed to remain calm, forcing him to throw the Holy Angel Sword from a great distance to repel the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon.
"No more of that, the academy forbids outsiders from entering and leaving at will."
"They won't appear again."
After a while, the other Inner Academy freshmen crossed Sea God Lake and gathered beside the two. They looked at Ling Bai with eyes that saw him as a monster.
Chu Qingtian complained to Ling Bai, "Brother Ling, you're not only strong, but your speed is also incredible."
The Electric Mad Leopard, known for its speed, had been thoroughly defeated by the Six- Winged Angel today.
"Brother Ling, you're amazing! You can fight and run fast. I'm impressed!"
Tai Xing, straightforward by nature, called Ling Bai "Brother Ling" with genuine admiration. The others smiled bitterly, feeling a tremendous pressure from being in the same year as Ling Bai.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Lexuan said, "Now that you've seen the gap, aim to catch up with Ling Bai. After entering the academy, work twice as hard. I should have shown you around the Inner Academy to help you integrate, but..."
She looked up at the sky, regretfully saying, "It's too late today, so let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll find some senior students to be your personal guides. Tonight, after the dormitory assignments, everyone should rest early, okay?"
"Senior Sister, you decide!"
"We'll follow Senior Sister's lead!"
Ling Bai watched the others respond and said nothing.
Hunting spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest was undoubtedly a severe test of physical and mental strength.
After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, they headed straight for Shrek Academy without any rest, and after entering, Ling Bai had a fight with Chu Qingtian.
To be honest, Ling Bai was a bit tired. He desperately wanted to sink into a soft bed and sleep soundly until morning.
Everyone agreed, and Zhang Lexuan continued, "The Inner Academy is different from the Outer Academy. With fewer than a hundred students, the Inner Academy doesn't have dormitory buildings. Instead, there are separate houses on Sea God Island. There are many houses, so you can make any requests, and I'll try my best to accommodate you."
"Senior Sister, I want the one closest to the cafeteria!"
The food soul master girl raised her hands, and everyone was speechless. Goodness, she's a foodie!
"Sure." Zhang Lexuan agreed.
The food soul master girl hugged Zhang Lexuan's arm, "Hehe, I knew Senior Sister is the best!"
Zhang Lexuan rubbed her head, smiling, "But Pan Tao, don't eat too much, or you'll become a
fat peach."
"Oh, no way, I'm a slim peach!!"
"Senior Sister, I want a house close to Sea God Lake."
Dugu Lin spoke up second. The rippling water of Sea God Lake refreshed her, and she fell in
love with it instantly.
"I want a room surrounded by lush vegetation." The Ghost Vine boy considered his soul skill's cultivation and made his request.
"Senior Sister, I..."
Chu Qingtian and Tai Xing exchanged glances and said simultaneously, "Let's live together."
"Hmm?"
Everyone was shocked, stepping back and looking at the two with a hint of oddness. Only the food soul master girl, Pan Tao, her eyes glowing, as if she had encountered a rare spirit beast.
"Young people..."
Zhang Lexuan sighed, feeling old and out of touch with the times.
"No, no!"
Chu Qingtian and Tai Xing panicked, waving their hands, "We were roommates in the Outer Academy, so it's normal for us to live together in the Inner Academy!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Normal, normal!"
"Very normal!"
"Whoever says it's not normal, I'll blast them with a Soul Conductor Cannon!"
Everyone laughed, tacitly flipping the page, leaving Chu Qingtian and Tai Xing muttering,
"It's normal, what are you laughing at..."
"Ling Bai, what about you?" Zhang Lexuan asked.
"I..."
"Live next to me!"
Ling Bai was about to speak when a seductive voice interrupted him.
Dugu Lin!
"My name is Dugu Lin, soul skill: Emerald Phosphorus Snake, seventeen years old, level forty-nine control soul master. Ling Bai, I believe we will have a lot in common in the future. You won't refuse me, will you?"
Her emerald eyes sparkled with mischief and allure, her small red lips slightly parted, inviting
a closer look. She was a woman who exuded charm from her very core, captivating men at
every moment.
And this Dugu Lin, who resembled a beautiful snake, was sending a pink, flirtatious invitation
to Ling Bai.
Tai Xing poked Chu Qingtian's waist, "Damn, Brother Chu, is Dugu Lin confessing?"
"Be gentle!"
Chu Qingtian glared at Tai Xing, a pure strength soul master like the Strong Gorilla should
know his own strength!
"Do you even need to ask?"
Chu Qingtian lowered his voice, "Dugu Lin is the second most beautiful girl in the Outer
Academy after Jiang Nan Nan. She usually looks down on men, but today she fell in love with Brother Ling at first sight. Soul masters value strength in choosing partners, and Brother Ling, despite his young age, is incredibly powerful and has a face that appeals to both men and women. It makes sense that Dugu Lin fell for him, but..."
He paused, looking at the dumbfounded Ghost Vine boy and silently mourning for him.
This boy, named Zhou Sen, had been infatuated with Dugu Lin for six years, only to end up
with nothing!
Faced with Dugu Lin's sudden confession and the others' gossip, Ling Bai remained calm, proceeding with his well-thought-out answer:
"Senior Sister, please find me a quiet place to stay."
"Huh-"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingtian and Tai Xing froze, and Dugu Lin's face darkened.
Dugu Lin, the second most beautiful girl among hundreds of female students in the Outer
Academy, with her stunning looks and exceptional talent, had been pursued by male students from Sea God Lake to the East Gate, yet Ling Bai had flatly refused her!
"Brother Ling is a tough guy!"
Tai Xing quietly gave a thumbs up. If Dugu Lin had confessed to him, he might have turned
into her personal puppy on the spot.
In stark contrast to Dugu Lin's gloomy face, the Ghost Vine boy, Zhou Sen, was almost jumping with excitement!
Ling Bai's rejection was great; he could continue to chase after her!
Dugu Lin pushed aside her green hair, gritting her teeth, "Man, you've piqued my interest!"
Stop your CEO literature!
They say eyes are the windows to the soul, but Ling Bai saw no hint of affection in Dugu Lin's emerald eyes. Instead, he faintly detected that peculiar, sweet, and fishy scent.
Emerald Phosphorus Snake...
Poison Douluo...
Ling Bai fell into deep thought, gradually forming a hypothesis.
"Let's go, I'll show you to your rooms."
Zhang Lexuan broke the awkward atmosphere and led everyone away from the lakeside.
Ling Bai and the others followed Zhang Lexuan. After the confession, their positions were carefully arranged. Dugu Lin walked on the far left, next to the female student Pan Tao, followed by Zhou Sen, who tried to comfort the goddess. The gossip duo, Tai Xing and Chu
Qingtian, and Ling Bai, who admired the scenery of Sea God Island, were on the far right.
"Brother Ling, you're amazing!"
Chu Qingtian, following Tai Xing, called Ling Bai "Brother Ling." No wonder he couldn't beat
Ling Bai; look at his iron will!
"Don't get too close."
Ling Bai pushed Chu Qingtian away. If his guess was correct, Dugu Lin's "love at first sight"
wasn't about him personally but about the Six-Winged Angel's innate abilities.
The journey was silent.
Zhang Lexuan, skilled in human relations, found a room for Dugu Lin first, eliminating the
awkward source in the group.
Before entering her room, Dugu Lin threw a seductive glance at Ling Bai, silently saying,
"Man, you can't escape!"
Ling Bai pretended not to see, CEO literature, go to hell!
Next, it was Pan Tao, Zhou Sen, Chu Qingtian, and Tai Xing. Finally, only Ling Bai and Zhang
Lexuan were left.
Ling Bai had requested a quiet place, so it was definitely the most secluded spot on Sea God Island. Zhang Lexuan naturally left him for last.
"Dugu Lin is very talented. Why not try to get to know her and have a sweet relationship?"
Zhang Lexuan teased.
"I'm only eleven, Senior Sister."
Ling Bai covered his face. In his past life, he hadn't even finished primary school at eleven; he
had no interest in dating.
"Proves that being too handsome and too strong isn't always a good thing..."
Ling Bai reflected deeply.
"Ahem!"
Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but laugh, her beautiful eyes curving into a crescent moon.
Ling Bai glanced at her; under the moonlight, her skin was like jade, and her profile was
flawless.
"Senior Sister, are you in a relationship?"
"Me?"
Zhang Lexuan pointed at herself and shook her head, "No."
Then she thought of something and added, "But I do have someone I like."
Mentioning the person she liked, Zhang Lexuan's fair face blushed slightly.
"Oh?"
Ling Bai feigned surprise, "The boy who's liked by Senior Sister must have saved the
continent in his past life."
"Young and smooth talker."
Zhang Lexuan lightly scolded, "Here's your room."
Ling Bai looked closely; the house was similar to the others he had seen, a simple cottage.
However, it combined the advantages of Dugu Lin's and Zhou Sen's houses, being close to Sea
God Lake and surrounded by lush vegetation, with a rich, life-giving atmosphere.
Ling Bai was very satisfied with it until...
He noticed another house opposite it, with a light on.
The light indicated someone was there. Ling Bai narrowed his eyes, hinting, "Senior Sister?"
The distance between the two houses was less than twenty meters. This is what you call
secluded? Zhang Lexuan understood Ling Bai's doubt and explained, "Within three kilometers, there
are only these two houses. It should meet your requirements, right?"
"Three kilometers..."
Ling Bai thought for a moment and agreed, "I'll take it, thank you, Senior Sister." Zhang Lexuan took out a key from her storage soul conductor device and handed it to Ling
Bai, "No problem. A senior student will show you around the Inner Academy early tomorrow.
Your school uniform and emblem will be provided. Rest well tonight."
"Sure, see you, Senior Sister."
"Goodbye."
Watching Zhang Lexuan leave, Ling Bai closed the door, turned on the soul conductor lamp,
and inspected the room's layout.
It was similar to a single apartment in his past life, with one bedroom, one living room, one
kitchen, and one bathroom.
After washing up, Ling Bai rushed to the bedroom, climbed into bed, and pulled the covers
over him. Soul masters can use meditation to replace sleep, but when tired, sleep is more effective in relieving fatigue. So, Ling Bai chose to have a good night's sleep. Good night, Makabaka, good night, Wuxidi Xi, good night, Yigubigu, good night, Xiaodian
Dian...
"Heya!!!"
"It hurts! Too much!"
"Sis, please be merciful!"
Just as Ling Bai was about to drift into dreamland, a man's screams jolted him awake.
"What the hell are you yelling about in the middle of the night!?"
Ling Bai sprang out of bed. He liked peace and quiet when alone, which was why he had
requested a secluded room from Zhang Lexuan. Who would have thought that...
The Continent's top academy?
Too degenerate!
Humans have emotions, and soul masters are no exception. It's normal to do such things, and
outsiders have no right to criticize. On the first day at Shrek, Ling Bai didn't want to cause
trouble.
Bear with it!
Ling Bai sat on the bed, preparing to meditate, but the noise didn't let up.
"It hurts! Too much!"
"Sis, let's stop for today!"
"What do you need to let me go?"
"Please, I'll do a forward roll for you?"
"A backflip?"
No more sleep!
Despite never having seen the man, Ling Bai's mind subconsciously painted a picture of an
extremely lecherous face!
"I think I get it."
Ling Bai suddenly understood. The seclusion here wasn't because of anything else; it wasn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
definitely because of that lecherous couple!
Who can meditate with such noise in the middle of the night!?
The question is, can't you be a bit quieter?
Ling Bai got out of bed, dressed, and decided to talk some sense into the person.
If reason fails, he didn't mind using physics.
Arriving at the other's door, the cries of pain almost turned into a wave of sound. While
marveling at the guy's lung capacity, Ling Bai took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Creak-"
The door opened with a creak.
Hmm? You don't lock your doors?
Ling Bai was greatly shocked! "Hello, classmate, can you-"
He gently pushed the door open, and this scene met his eyes.
A muscular young man, lying on the ground, tightly hugging a black shield!
A red-haired beauty, standing on the shield, with fair skin and a fiery figure!
Ling Bai's words died in his throat, his awkward and polite smile vanishing, and he stood
frozen, finally muttering a single word.
"6."
