"Wu Lin, you're still not full yet…"
Looking at Tang Wulin, who was still eating buns in front of him, Xie Xie wore a thoughtful expression. The others around him also looked unsettled.
After already finishing a Type A Meal, this was his eighteenth bun and fifth bowl of soup. This…
Wasn't this a bit too much?
"Mmm…"
"I'm about seventy percent full."
Tang Wulin smiled sheepishly and thought for a moment before replying.
"..."
"So you're still not full yet!"
After a while, when Tang Wulin finally stood up happily, the group left the cafeteria and headed toward the classroom building.
"By the way."
"Which classes did you all get assigned to?"
As they walked, Xie Xie asked curiously. Wu Lin was assigned to Class 5, but what about the others?
"We're in Class 1. You should be too, right?"
Tang Luochuan spoke calmly, his expression indifferent.
"Huh? I am indeed…"
Xie Xie was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Tang Luochuan to also be in Class 1.
After all, he was Wu Lin's brother. He had assumed that, like Wu Lin, he might have been assigned to the worst class due to poor talent.
But it seemed that wasn't the case?
"My talent isn't that impressive."
"I only got into Class 5."
Tang Wulin looked a bit embarrassed. Among the group, he was the one with the weakest talent, and he assumed the teacher assigned to his class would also be the least capable.
Of course, he didn't feel ashamed because of this. So what if his talent was lacking? As long as he worked hard, he believed he could still become a remarkable person!
"Don't worry."
"The teachers at the academy are definitely good. Even if they're not as good as our teacher, they'll still be great people."
At this, Zhang Yangzi shook his head and spoke bluntly, hoping that Wu Lin's teacher would also be good. Even if they couldn't compare to Teacher Wu Zhangkong, they would at least be decent.
As for surpassing Wu Zhangkong? That was absolutely impossible. Teacher Wu Zhangkong was the strongest man in Donghai!
"I think so too."
Tang Wulin chuckled.
"By the way."
"What levels are you all at?"
Xie Xie looked at the group in front of him and asked curiously.
"I'm an 18th-level Soul Master."
"Earlier, I heard from my father that there are Grand Soul Master-level powerhouses in our Class 1. That's amazing."
He couldn't help but express his admiration.
Grand Soul Master!
At the same age, reaching the level of a Grand Soul Master… Even though he was also a genius with Innate Full Soul Power, he hadn't reached the second ring yet.
Those who could reach the level of a Grand Soul Master were truly terrifying.
"..."
Hearing Xie Xie's words, the group visibly fell silent for a moment. Even Tang Wulin couldn't help but smile and glance in Tang Luochuan's direction.
"Huh? What are you laughing at…"
Xie Xie looked puzzled, about to ask what they were laughing about, but soon his expression turned to one of surprise.
Don't tell him…
That among the people in front of him, there were Grand Soul Masters!
"We're 22nd-level Grand Soul Masters."
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi said in unison.
"I'm not that strong. I'm at 21st level."
Wei Xiaofeng, who was standing nearby, hesitated for a moment before also smiling and speaking.
It seemed they were the so-called extraordinary beings Xie Xie had mentioned.
"You…"
"Are Grand Soul Masters?"
Xie Xie's pupils instantly widened in shock. He stammered for a while, his gaze filled with astonishment as he looked in the direction of the three, unable to help but mutter to himself.
A Grand Soul Master, right beside me?
"Uh-huh."
Zhang Yangzi's face was a mix of amusement and helplessness. He hadn't expected the other party to bring them up earlier!
"..."
Xie Xie remained silent, gradually feeling his defenses crumble.
They were all geniuses, yet he wasn't even a Grand Soul Master yet. It felt like he was wasting his own talent!
"Wait."
"Wu Lin, your brother wouldn't happen to be..."
At this moment, Xie Xie noticed the gentle smile on Tang Luochuan's face and couldn't help but take a sharp breath, blurting out.
"Hmm..."
Before Tang Wulin could respond, Zhang Yangzi and the others had already broken into smiles.
"Guess why he's our boss."
"Could it be..."
"Because his cultivation is the strongest?"
Xie Xie pondered, a look of contemplation on his face.
"Yep, a 28th-level Grand Soul Master."
"..."
Classroom, First Grade, Class One.
Xie Xie sat in his seat, still unable to calm down from the earlier revelation. He looked at the calm man in front of him, feeling completely at a loss.
It was hard to imagine that the other party was a 28th-level Grand Soul Master.
And he was also a Level 4 Forging Master...
What kind of prodigy was this?!
"Hello, students."
"I am your homeroom teacher, Ye Luo Li. In the future, I will accompany you all as we grow together..."
At this moment, under Zhang Yangzi's expectant gaze, a woman's figure entered the classroom and spoke slowly.
"This is..."
"Our homeroom teacher?"
Zhang Yangzi's face instantly fell. It wasn't Wu Zhangkong?
"Now, let's start with some self-introductions. Please share your Martial Soul and Soul Power levels..."
"Sorry, teacher, I'm late."
At that moment, a light, melodious voice suddenly rang out. At the doorway, a black-haired girl had appeared.
She was a very beautiful girl, with waist-length black hair and an aura that was hard for ordinary people to possess.
"It's her?"
Seeing the newcomer, Tang Luochuan was momentarily stunned.
For no other reason than the fact that this was the girl he had briefly encountered in the cafeteria earlier.
He hadn't expected her to also be in Class One... Tang Luochuan thought to himself.
"Come in quickly."
The homeroom teacher glanced up at her and said, not saying much else, but with a smile on her face.
What Tang Luochuan didn't expect, however, was that the girl naturally walked over and sat down beside him.
"Classmate, can I sit next to you?"
"Hmm? Of course."
Tang Luochuan didn't refuse, replying calmly.
"Let's start with some self-introductions."
"We'll begin with this classmate..."
"My name is Xie Xie, Martial Soul: Light Dragon Dagger, 18th-level Soul Master."
"My name is Zhang Fei, Martial Soul: Savage Pig, 15th-level Soul Master."
"My name is Lin Niu Niu, Martial Soul: Vajra Bull, 16th-level Soul Master."
"My name is Xing Da Gou, Martial Soul: Black Axe, 16th-level Soul Master. I hope to be good friends with everyone..."
"Wang Jinxi, Martial Soul: Bone Dragon, 22nd-level Grand Soul Master."
"Zhang Yangzi, Martial Soul: Dark Magic Eagle, 22nd-level Grand Soul Master."
"Wei Xiaofeng, Martial Soul: Azure Shadow Serpent, 22nd-level Grand Soul Master."
At first, everything proceeded normally. However, the appearance of three Grand Soul Masters instantly drew the fervent gazes of the students. Grand Soul Masters—they were Grand Soul Masters!
At this age, they were already Grand Soul Masters?
When it was Tang Luochuan's turn, the homeroom teacher's face immediately lit up with a broad smile, filled with anticipation.
"Tang Luochuan, Martial Soul: Golden Dragon, 28th-level Grand Soul Master," Tang Luochuan stood up and announced calmly.
Though it was just a brief statement, it instantly stirred a wave of astonishment in the classroom. Twenty-eighth level—that was close to being a Soul Venerable!
They were all nine years old, yet there was such an impressive classmate among them!
"Next," the homeroom teacher said, wearing the same smile as before, then turned her gaze to the girl beside Tang Luochuan.
"..."
"Gu Yue, Martial Soul: Elementalist, I..."
"Am also a 28th-level Grand Soul Master."
At this moment, the entire room erupted in excitement.
But the most shocked of all was Tang Luochuan, who stood beside her.
"She..."
"It's actually Gu Yue?"
