"Cough, cough, cough—alright, I won't ask anymore."
Du Weilan quickly waved his hands.
If these two top-tier talents really ran off to another academy, Dean Yan might just kill him…
Forcing a kindly smile, he said, "Co, let's get you registered."
"Gu Yuena, forty-first rank Soul Ancestor, martial soul… Silver Dragon?!" Du Weilan suddenly looked up, eyes widening.
"Yes." Gu Yuena nodded calmly.
"Mu Qiu'er, forty-first rank Soul Ancestor, martial soul… Golden Dragon?!" Du Weilan struggled to tear his eyes from the second form and glanced at the blonde girl.
She folded her arms, gave a small huff, and that counted as acknowledgnt.
He took back his earlier words.
Top-tier martial souls. Forty-first rank. Only twelve years old.
They were already nearly catching up to Su Wen!
This wasn't just "top-tier talent." This was like the Martial Soul Departnt hitting the jackpot!
And yet…
Are you two sure you don't know each other?
Not even twins or sothing?
He was even beginning to suspect they might have martial soul fusion potential.
"We really don't know each other!" ×2
Both voices sounded at the sa ti, clearly having seen through his thoughts.
Even teachers outside peeked curiously into the office.
"Ahem… Do you two have a preferred class?" Du Weilan asked gently.
The girls exchanged a look.
"Which class is Su Wen in?" Mu Qiu'er asked first.
"Uh… Class Two."
"Then I'll go to Class Two!" Mu Qiu'er declared without hesitation.
"I'll go to Class Two as well." Gu Yuena added, flat and calm.
Stamp! Stamp!
Du Weilan couldn't hide the grin on his face as he slapped the red seals onto their application forms…
…
"Achoo!"
Su Wen sneezed.
He glanced around suspiciously.
Soone cursing him behind his back?
"You lucky brat~" an old voice teased inside his spiritual sea.
"Huh?" Su Wen blinked.
He was about to ask when the class bell rang.
Mu Jin walked in right on ti—followed by two girls, one with golden hair, one with silver. The blonde lively and bright, the silver-haired one cold and aloof. Their hair colors alone made their personalities pop, and Mu Jin was practically glowing with delight.
"Let introduce two new students.
Gu Yuena. Mu Qiu'er.
Everyone, give them a warm welco~"
With Mu Jin smiling at the lectern, the whole class clapped.
Su Wen froze in place.
"What the hell?"
He glanced at the blonde girl—she cheekily winked at him. Rui Beast showing up, he could barely make sense of. But the other one—
Why was Gu Yuena here too?!
Wasn't the Silver Dragon King supposed to be quietly recovering at the bottom of the Lake of Life?
Su Wen was dumbfounded, half-convinced he had grabbed the wrong script.
Wait!
Where was Di Tian?
He darted a look to the side, terrified a black dragon might suddenly appear next—now that would be a joke…
"Alright, since you two are new, everyone should treat them kindly. There are seats in the back, go take those," Mu Jin said cheerfully.
The dismissal bell rang.
Mu Jin left.
"So pretty… and so elegant too~" Xue Ling whispered.
"Yeah, really beautiful," Xie Huanyue agreed.
But the next mont—
"You, fatty. Move."
A pleasant voice, though the words weren't pleasant at all.
Mu Qiu'er stood with hands on her hips, pointing at an empty seat.
"My boss can call fat, but you can't! Apologize!" Xie Huanyue puffed angrily.
Boom!
A body flew out of Class Two, rolling several tis across the ground.
"S-Soul Ancestor?!" Xie Huanyue clutched his stomach, eyes wide.
As the words left his mouth—
The whole class fell silent.
Everyone stared, dumbstruck, at the blonde girl who still held her punching stance. Another Soul Ancestor?!
Was being a twelve-year-old Soul Ancestor worthless these days?
Why did they keep popping up one after another?
Respect instantly filled the room for Mu Qiu'er.
A powerhouse of raw strength—she was on par with Su Wen!
But the next second, that sa "cold" Mu Qiu'er was leaning lazily against Su Wen's desk, eyes curved in a playful smile.
"Di Tian didn't stop . I sneaked out, hehe~"
"Great," Su Wen said flatly, numb.
He was genuinely afraid Di Tian might show up at any mont.
"Hahaha, already scared?" Electrolux chuckled inside his sea of spirit.
"Where's that bravado you had, standing up to Di Tian and Title Douluos earlier?"
"That's different…" Su Wen muttered under his breath.
…
Outside the freshman dorms.
On a bench, Mu En suddenly sat up, staring at the two girls before him in shock.
Mu Qiu'er yawned. "They said we co to you for room keys. Got any, old man?"
"Thank you, Grandpa," Gu Yuena said calmly.
Mu En jolted like he'd been shocked.
His throat worked. "No need… don't call Grandpa. Call —cough—just call Elder Mu."
His hand trembled as he passed over the keys.
Watching the two figures walk away toward the freshman dorms, he stayed stunned for a long ti.
…
Seasons turned. Winter to autumn. In a blink, August ca.
The first and second terms ended.
The holiday arrived.
The outer court turned quiet, most students returning ho. Only a handful stayed behind.
Huo Yuhao was one of them.
Buzz…
With the last engraving of the core formation complete, the entire device glowed faint blue.
"Clap clap clap! Genius!" Fan Yu applauded.
"A true genius! In less than a year, you've advanced to Rank 2 Soul Engineer. Such talent is rare even across the whole departnt."
"Yes indeed…" He Caitou chuckled nearby.
He glanced at the disciple badge on his chest and unconsciously puffed out his chest.
What he couldn't achieve in the Martial Soul Departnt, he would reclaim in the Soul Tool Departnt!
After farewells, they left the test area.
In Yuhao's spiritual sea, Skydream's voice rumbled.
"Let's go, Yuhao. It's ti to obtain your second martial soul."
"Mn! Brother Skydream, are we really going to the Extre North to seek the Ice Empress?" Huo Yuhao hesitated. Truthfully, his resolve had wavered countless tis this year. He wanted to grow strong, surpass Su Wen—but the price might be nine deaths for one life. Skydream himself had warned him. If he really died… who would avenge his mother?
"I only offer the choice. The decision is yours," Skydream sighed.
"…Let's at least go to the Extre North first." Yuhao clenched his fist, then released it.
"Before we leave, I'll visit Teacher Zhou Yi."
…
"You two really want to co with ?"
Su Wen rubbed his temples, looking at the golden and silver-haired beauties before him. Each a peerless beauty—silver-haired girl cold and serene, golden-haired girl lively and radiant.
Standing one on each side of him.
"Mm! The Extre North is dangerous. With and Mast—cough, with Nana, we'll be able to speak with the Ice Empress if it cos to that." Mu Qiu'er grinned.
"…Fine." Su Wen nodded helplessly.
"Just stay quiet."
"Yay!" Mu Qiu'er cheered.
"Mn." Gu Yuena nodded.
Su Wen sighed deeply.
Yuhao had already set out for the Extre North.
He didn't know if that big bug's true target was the Ice Empress, but he had to go. Building a good relationship with her was essential.
And with these two bodyguards along, his safety factor rose significantly.
