Lin Yaoyang turned his head and looked at the person.
That was a boy wearing a black school uniform, looking fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and sturdy, with fair skin and a slightly baby-faced visage that was now flushed red with anger.
The emblem of the sixth grade was embroidered on the chest of his school uniform.
Xu Sanshi.
Lin Yaoyang’s gaze flickered slightly.
Jiang Nannan saw Xu Sanshi, and her brows immediately furrowed.
The good mood she had just now vanished instantly.
Tang Ya had already walked over, blocking in front of Huo Yuhao: “Xu Sanshi, how dare you bully someone from my Tang Sect?!”
Xu Sanshi curled his lips, and just as he was about to say something, a gentle voice came from the side.
“Xu Sanshi, you are bullying my Junior Brother.
You must give me an explanation for today’s matter.”
Bei Bei had arrived, though no one knew when.
He had a refined appearance and a gentle temperament, but the gaze he directed at Xu Sanshi right now carried a hint of coldness.
“Otherwise, we shall go to the Soul Fighting Area to settle this.”
Xu Sanshi snorted: “It’s been a long time since I sparred with you.
Isn’t it just going to the Soul Fighting Area?
Let’s go!”
He turned to walk into the academy, his gaze sweeping over the small table nearby inadvertently, and then his footsteps stopped.
“Nannan?!” His eyes lit up instantly, and he walked over quickly.
“You’re here too, what a coincidence!
Do you want to come and watch my soul fight…”
“Xu Sanshi.” Jiang Nannan’s voice was as cold as ice.
“I have told you, there is no possibility between us.
I already have someone I like, please do not bother me again in the future.”
Someone she likes?
Wang Dong’s eyes scanned back and forth between Lin Yaoyang and Jiang Nannan.
Xu Sanshi, however, was dismissive.
He had heard this sentence many times, but Jiang Nannan had never said who she liked, and she had always been alone.
He only thought she was making excuses.
“It’s okay, Nannan, even if you have someone you like, I won’t give up!”
After saying that, he turned and strode towards the inside of the academy.
Bei Bei glanced at Jiang Nannan, then looked at Lin Yaoyang, and followed behind thoughtfully.
Tang Ya pulled Huo Yuhao: “Little Yuhao, let’s go, let’s go and see too!
A duel of this level is rare!”
Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, packed up the stall, and followed Tang Ya.
Lin Yaoyang stood up and reached out his hand towards Jiang Nannan.
“Let’s go, let’s go and see too.”
Jiang Nannan originally didn’t want to go; she didn’t want to see Xu Sanshi at all.
But seeing the hand Lin Yaoyang reached out, she hesitated for a moment, then handed her own hand over.
Previously, when they were in Lingdou City, Jiang Nannan was not resistant to some of Lin Yaoyang’s small gestures, but with the Snow Empress watching, and watching very closely, the two of them at most only held hands.
Now that the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress were not around, Jiang Nannan felt a little secretly happy and wanted to take the opportunity to take a step further.
Lin Yaoyang held her hand, and the warmth from his palm made Jiang Nannan’s heart skip a beat.
“Let’s go.” He said.
Wang Dong followed silently behind, watching their hands held together, feeling inexplicably stifled in her heart.
Jiang Nannan’s classmates wisely did not follow.
The Soul Fighting Area was located in the northwest corner of the Martial Soul Department and was one of the liveliest places in Shrek Academy.
The matches here were open to all students, only requiring a ticket costing one silver coin.
The Soul Fighting Arena was hexagonal, with a large open space in the center and circles of seats rising upwards around it, capable of accommodating about three thousand people.
At this moment, many people were already seated, all here to watch the duel between Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.
The three of them found a seat and sat down.
Coincidentally, Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya were sitting not far from them.
Tang Ya also saw them and curiously leaned over to ask Huo Yuhao: “Little Yuhao, how do those two classmates of yours know Jiang Nannan?
It looks like their relationship is not ordinary.”
Huo Yuhao shook his head: “I don’t know either.
Maybe they knew each other before.”
The battle on the field had already begun.
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were both top-tier students in the outer courtyard, and the duel between them was spectacular.
Bei Bei’s Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit was fierce and overbearing, while Xu Sanshi’s Mysterious Turtle Shield Spirit was steady and heavy.
One attacking and one defending, they were evenly matched.
Lin Yaoyang watched for a while, his gaze falling on Huo Yuhao.
He saw Huo Yuhao’s eyes light up slightly, and a faint white light flowed in his pupils.
Spirit Detection.
Lin Yaoyang stood up and walked over.
Huo Yuhao was concentrating on channeling his Soul Power, preparing to use Spirit Detection to help Bei Bei capture Xu Sanshi’s flaws.
Suddenly, a hand patted him on the shoulder.
He was so startled that his whole body shuddered.
He turned his head in panic and saw Lin Yaoyang’s expressionless face.
“Mon…
Monitor…”
Lin Yaoyang looked down at him, his voice very soft, audible only to the two of them.
“Huo Yuhao, I remember your Spirit is called Spirit Eyes, it’s eyes, right?”
Huo Yuhao nodded.
“Is your first Spirit Ability a detection type?”
Huo Yuhao was shocked in his heart.
How did he know?
Lin Yaoyang continued: “You want to use your first Spirit Ability to help that Bei Bei, right?”
Huo Yuhao lowered his head, not daring to look into his eyes.
“I…
I…
just…”
“You are cheating.” Lin Yaoyang’s voice was very calm, without anger, without accusation, just stating a fact.
Huo Yuhao’s face went white.
“Don’t do these low-class things.”
Lin Yaoyang patted his shoulder, with moderate force, and then turned and left.
Huo Yuhao sat in place, his lips moving, but he couldn’t say a word.
His eye sockets were a bit red.
Tang Ya had been focusing on the battle on the field and hadn’t noticed what had happened here.
She excitedly pulled Huo Yuhao’s sleeve: “Little Yuhao, look!
Bei Bei is going to win!”
Lin Yaoyang returned to Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong and said: “Let’s go, it’s a boring match.”
Jiang Nannan nodded; she hadn’t wanted to watch it anyway.
This time, she took the initiative to hold Lin Yaoyang’s hand.
The two of them left the Soul Fighting Area holding hands.
“What is all this!” Wang Dong muttered dissatisfiedly but still followed.
After sending Jiang Nannan back to her dormitory, the two of them walked back to their room.
Wang Dong kept her head down, silent for quite a while.
“Hey,” she suddenly spoke, “are you and that Jiang Nannan…
really just friends?”
“Yeah.”
“The way she looks at you doesn’t look like she’s looking at a friend.”
Lin Yaoyang didn’t speak.
Wang Dong waited for a while, seeing that he didn’t answer, and muttered another sentence: “And she is quite pretty…”
“She is quite pretty.”
Wang Dong’s footsteps paused, then she quickened her pace to walk in front of him, saying without looking back: “Walk faster, we still have class tomorrow.”
Lin Yaoyang looked at her back, the corners of his mouth hooked up slightly, and followed at a leisurely pace.
The night passed without a word.
The next morning.
Lin Yaoyang and Wang Dong came out of the cafeteria and walked on the small path of the campus.
Wang Dong took out a piece of bread from her storage soul tool, took a bite, and said: “It’s only after following you that I learned bad habits!”
The rule of the academy cafeteria was that food was not allowed to be taken out.
But there were no tables and chairs in the cafeteria.
So Lin Yaoyang taught her to put the food into the storage soul tool to take away.
“You don’t have to learn it,” Lin Yaoyang also took out a piece of bread and took a bite, “no one is forcing you.”
Wang Dong curled her lips, knowing she couldn’t out-argue him, so she had to focus her energy on the bread.
The two of them ate while walking.
There was still some time before class, and after Wang Dong finished the bread, she patted the crumbs on her hands and said: “Let’s go to Sea God Lake for a stroll.”
Lin Yaoyang thought about the time, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: “Okay, I’ll indulge you once.”
The two bypassed the freshman teaching building, walked east along the south side of Shrek Square, and soon arrived at the lakeside path.
Passing through the woods beside the path, the view suddenly opened up before them.
The sparkling Sea God Lake appeared before them.
The lake water was extremely clear, blue and pure, blue and deep, shimmering with fine golden light under the morning sun.
The lake surface was as calm as a huge mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and the weeping willows on the shore.
A gentle water vapor mixed with the fresh scent of vegetation rushed towards them, making people want to take a deep breath.
“So beautiful!” Wang Dong spread her arms and stretched her body vigorously, her face full of intoxication.
Lin Yaoyang nodded silently.
Although he had no affection for Shrek, he had to admit that the scenery here was indeed good.
Wang Dong was admiring the beautiful scenery when suddenly, she seemed to see something.
“Brother Lin, what is that?”
She pointed to a rapidly moving red dot on the lake.
It was a red figure, running on the water at an astonishing speed.
The person did not release her Spirit, but was able to walk on the water as if it were flat ground, moving as fast as an arrow leaving the bowstring.
And looking at the direction, it was rushing towards them.
Lin Yaoyang also saw it, and of course, he knew who it was.
But he just said faintly: “Not sure.”
Wang Dong’s eyes became brighter and brighter: “This person looks very strong!
Look, she can run on the lake without even releasing her Spirit!”
She excitedly pulled on Lin Yaoyang’s sleeve: “She is so fast!
She…”
Her voice suddenly changed.
“No!
Why isn’t she stopping?!”
Wang Dong widened her eyes, channeled her Soul Power, and azure wings appeared on her back.
Just as she wanted to open her wings to take flight, it was too late.
The speed of that red figure was simply too fast.
One second she was at the center of the lake, the next second she had already rushed to the shore.
The person seemed to have no intention of stopping at all, carrying a terrifying high temperature, and crashed straight towards them!
Wang Dong only felt a heat wave rushing towards her, as if someone had ignited a volcano in front of her.
The vegetation within a radius of dozens of meters turned scorched yellow in an instant, leaves curled, and grass withered.
Wang Dong’s Soul Power had just been channeled when it was shattered by the high temperature.
A suffocating pressure enveloped her, and everything went black before her eyes.
Her body fell softly.
Lin Yaoyang grabbed her and held her in his arms.
That terrifying high temperature was nothing to him, but Wang Dong couldn’t handle it.
He looked down at Wang Dong in his arms.
In her unconscious state, her face was pale, her brows tightly furrowed, and the usual arrogance was gone from that exquisite face, making her look as fragile as a porcelain doll.
What a pity…
still in men’s clothing.
Lin Yaoyang retracted this untimely thought, took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly.
“Someone help!
Come quickly!”
His voice was loud and urgent, exceptionally clear in the morning campus.
“There is an Evil Soul Master invading the academy!
My roommate has been knocked unconscious!”
The surrounding students heard the shouting and looked over one after another.
Lin Yaoyang immediately activated Martial Soul Body Possession.
Golden light exploded, crimson and silver-white mecha covered his whole body, and two pairs of Gilded Fire Wings unfolded behind him.
Holding the unconscious Wang Dong in one hand, he summoned the Corona Sword with the other, pointing the tip of the sword directly at the red figure, and shouted sternly.
“Damn Evil Soul Master, how dare you!”
“In broad daylight, you dare to break into Shrek Academy and even hurt my roommate!”
Lin Yaoyang didn’t say a word, directly slapping a big label on Ma Xiaotao!
His voice was righteous, his Aura was imposing, as if he were facing an heinous Evil Soul Master.
And the Ultimate Fire pressure he emitted happened to be the last straw that crushed Ma Xiaotao’s sanity.
Ma Xiaotao, who was already manic due to the loss of control over her evil fire, was completely stimulated by the suppression of this Origin of Ultimate Fire.
The evil fire in her body instantly went wild, as if it wanted to burn her body to ashes.
She let out a heart-wrenching, beast-like roar, and the flames around her suddenly soared, with strange black patterns appearing in the crimson flames.
The last bit of clarity in her eyes was completely swallowed, leaving only the destructive violence and madness.
The fierce Aura she emitted was several times stronger than before; no matter how you looked at it, she was a Qi Deviation, murderous Evil Soul Master.
The onlookers saw that the red figure suddenly became even more insane, exuding a biting fierce power, wearing a red mask on her face, and even her eyes were blood-red.
Everyone couldn’t help but be shocked, and they were even more convinced that this was an Evil Soul Master making trouble.
“Go call the teachers quickly!”
“An Evil Soul Master has broken in!”
“Protect that injured classmate!”
