Chapter 182 - Transfer Student Xu Xiaoyan (2/2)
Xie Xie's curiosity was piqued. “How did you enter our cla.s.s when it's already the second semester? I thought they weren't accepting new students anymore.”
Xu Xiaoyan stated matter-of-factly, “My family has some connections, got a problem?”
Xie Xie was dumbfounded. “Teacher Wu allowed someone to enter through connections? I don't believe it.”
Xu Xiaoyan smiled sweetly. “It's fine if you don't believe me. Actually, we've met before in the rebellion spirit ascension platform. Where is the big sister who beat my brother?”
Xie Xie carefully looked her up and down before he suddenly realized her ident.i.ty. “Ah! You're that ice-staff guy's little sister. No wonder I thought you looked familiar.”
“The 'ice-staff guy'? That's what you're calling my brother? Haha! That's hilarious. But wait, I have the same martial soul as him, what do I do?” Xu Xiaoyan's expression became anxious. She couldn't bear to be called 'Ice-Staff Girl'!
“Don't worry, we won't call you that,” Xie Xie said. “How many rings do you have?”
“One ring!” Xu Xiaoyan said.
Xie Xie became mute. How did she join our cla.s.s with only one ring? That ice-staff guy's strength was extraordinary, especially his thousand-year soul skill, but he had three rings. Xu Xiaoyan was able to join us with only one? Does she have some special skill or something?
“Alright then, call me if you need anything. I'm going back to my room now. My room is across from Tang Wulin's. Oh right, your next-door neighbor is our captain and boss, Tang Wulin.”
“Tang Wulin? Is that the big sister's name?” Xu Xiaoyan curiously asked.
Xie Xie burst into laughter. “Of course not. Wulin is a guy. The big sister is on the other side. Her name is Gu Yue.”
Astonishment flickered through Xu Xiaoyan's eyes.
The battle between her brother and Gu Yue had left a deep impression on her. With her own strength, Gu Yue had been able to bridge the gap between ranks and defeat him—simply brilliant. Yet such a powerful girl wasn't the strongest person in cla.s.s zero?
With only three students in cla.s.s zero, wouldn't the strongest be the captain?
“Tang Wulin also has two rings?” Xu Xiaoyan asked.
Xie Xie shook his head. “No. He's the same as you—only one ring.”
“Someone with one ring is the captain?” Her curiosity toward Tang Wulin grew.
She wanted to continue questioning Xie Xie, but he gave her a mysterious smile and refused to reveal any more.
The morning of the next day, a ceremony was held to welcome the new semester. Cla.s.s zero stood at the very front of the first grade, three students neatly lined up in a row.
Indeed, there were only three students; Tang Wulin was missing.
Starting from the outside, Gu Yue stood, followed by Xie Xie then Xu Xiaoyan.
Meanwhile, Wu Zhangkong expressionlessly stood with the teachers, completely unconcerned about Tang Wulin's absence.
Xie Xie whispered to Gu Yue, “Wulin couldn't have forgotten that the semester starts today, right? Why do you think he's so late?”
Gu Yue indifferently replied, “Do you think he's you?”
Xie Xie was speechless. “Just how biased can you be? When have I ever been late? Wasn't it him last time, too?”
Gu Yue said, “Then he definitely has a good reason.”
As the academy president began his speech, a hunched-over figure snuck over from the back to the very front before nudging Gu Yue's side.
A radiant smile blossomed on Gu Yue's indifferent face. “Why are you so late?”
Tang Wulin had no excuse to give.
The time he spent in deep meditation wasn't something he could control, so by the time he woke up, it was already the morning of the new semester ceremony. Because he had dashed out without eating breakfast, his gnawing hunger was forcibly shoved to the back of his mind.
The deep meditation this time, however, had yielded great results; his individual comprehensions and abilities were now consolidated into a whole.
