Chapter 53 Zhou Yi Appears Online
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu walked out of the teaching building side by side. As soon as they turned the corner of the stairwell, they saw three people leaning against the windowsill at the end of the corridor.
Wang Dong'er crossed her arms in front of her chest, her long, light blue hair swaying slightly in the breeze, looking as if she had been waiting for a long time.
Cui Yajie was sitting on the windowsill swinging her legs when she saw the two of them come out, and she waved to them.
Xiao Xiao stood next to Cui Yajie, her small figure tiptoeing as she peered in their direction.
"How long have you two been inside? Almost two hours, right?" Wang Dong'er was the first to speak, her tone clearly impatient.
Dai Huabin glanced at the three of them, somewhat surprised: "You've been waiting here all this time?"
"Nonsense."
Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes.
"Director Du called you in alone, closed the door, and set up a soundproof barrier. Who wouldn't be curious?"
Cui Yajie jumped down from the windowsill, her long pink hair swaying behind her, and leaned closer, lowering her voice:
"What exactly is the reward? Tell us."
Xiao Xiao didn't speak, but her delicate eyes were fixed on Dai Huabin, her curiosity written all over her face.
Dai Huabin thought for a moment.
Du Weilen had instructed them not to publicize the matter of the soul bones, but these three people were core members of his team and would be fighting together in the future, so there was no point in keeping it a secret.
"Soul Bone."
Dai Huabin lowered his voice.
"And it's one piece per person."
The three words were uttered, and the corridor fell silent for two seconds.
"Soul Bone!"
Wang Dong'er raised her voice slightly, but was silenced by a glare from Dai Huabin. She quickly covered her mouth, looked around to make sure no one was passing by, and then repeated herself softly.
"Really? Ten thousand years old?"
Dai Huabin nodded.
Cui Yajie gasped, glancing at Dai Huabin and then at Zhu Lu, her expression a complex mix of envy and sourness.
Xiao Xiao clenched the hem of her clothes and muttered to herself:
"My God, it's actually a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone."
"Everyone will have one in the future." Dai Huabin smiled. "The freshman assessment is just the beginning; there will be plenty of opportunities later."
Wang Dong'er snorted, then, as if remembering something, raised her beautiful eyebrows:
"So, have your and Lulu's soul power increased again?"
"I'm level 35."
Zhu Lu smiled beside her: "I've improved even more, I'm level 29 now."
Wang Dong'er covered her head with both hands, leaned back, and looked utterly hopeless: "Oh no, oh no, now I can't catch up with you guys even more."
Xiao Xiao covered her mouth and chuckled softly, tugging at Wang Dong'er's sleeve:
"Dong'er, stop thinking about defeating the class monitor. If the class monitor gets stronger, He will protect us too."
Cui Yajie chimed in, "That's right, it's so good to have someone strong protecting you."
Dai Huabin nodded: "Yes, we are good friends, so naturally we will help each other."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Zhu Lu casually chimed in from the side:
"Hua Bin, are you just a good friend?"
The air in the corridor suddenly became subtle.
Dai Huabin's smile froze for a moment, He coughed dryly, and didn't respond to that question.
Cui Yajie's eyes darted around, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she was pondering something.
Xiao Xiao's face flushed red, and She looked down at the tips of her shoes.
Wang Dong'er reacted the most. She took half a step back, raised her chin, and snorted, "Who would like such an arrogant egomaniac?"
Zhu Lu didn't say anything more, but stood quietly beside Dai Huabin with a faint smile on her face.
It's obvious that Zhu Lu already considers Cui Yajie, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao as her own sisters.
Dai Huabin quickly changed the subject, glancing at the clock hanging on the wall at the end of the corridor:
"There's still over an hour until lunchtime, shall I go and cultivate for a while first?"
"Let's go, let's go." Wang Dong'er was the first to take a step, but after two steps She turned back and glared at Dai Huabin. "Level 35... Hmph."
Cui Yajie followed, and as She passed Dai Huabin, She leaned closer and whispered, "Lulu's words are really insightful."
Dai Huabin pretended not to hear.
The five of them went to the training ground and each found a place to sit cross-legged.
After about an hour of practice, the five of them finished, went to the cafeteria for lunch, and then resumed their practice. After lunch, they returned to their dormitory to rest.
However, Dai Huabin reminded them not to be late tomorrow.
...
The next morning, Dai Huabin woke up very early.
Zhu Lu had finished washing up and was sitting on the edge of the bed tying her shoelaces.
She changed into a clean, dark-colored outfit, and her long black hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, making her look neat and energetic.
"Report to Class One today." Zhu Lu looked up at Him.
Dai Huabin hummed in agreement and sat up from the bed.
To be honest, He had no expectations about going to Class 1.
He knew Zhou Yi's teaching style all too well. The way She used to punish people by making them run, stand, or scold them in public was the complete opposite of Mu Jin's style.
However, the class assignment rules are there, and the White Tiger Martial Soul belongs to the offensive type, so it will definitely be assigned to Class 1.
Zhu Lu's Netherworld Cat is an agility-based attacker, so according to the rules, She should be in Class Two.
However, the Academy has a clear rule that partners who possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill must be assigned to the same class.
However, at worst, I can just change classes or teachers. Given how much the Academy values me these days, it shouldn't be a big problem.
After getting ready, the two left the dormitory building and waited for Cui Yajie, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao in the open space outside the dormitory.
Cui Yajie wore a light purple coat today, and her long pink hair was draped over her shoulders. She attracted a lot of attention on the street.
Wang Dong'er's long, light blue hair was loosely tied back with a plain hairband, while Xiao Xiao still had two small braids, making her look petite and cute.
The five of them walked together toward the classroom of Class 1, Grade 1.
"Do you think Teacher Zhou Yi is very fierce?" Xiao Xiao asked softly.
Cui Yajie thought for a moment: "I heard She's very serious in class."
"Huh?" Wang Dong'er frowned. "Then what should we do?"
"I don't know," Cui Yajie said helplessly.
Dai Huabin did not participate in this topic.
Class 1's classroom is located on the east side of the teaching building, and it is a size larger than the classrooms used during the freshman year.
When the five of them went inside, there were already quite a few people sitting there.
Dai Huabin immediately spotted several familiar faces.
Wu Feng, who was sitting by the window, nodded to Dai Huabin when She saw them come in.
Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo sat together, the two long-haired girls whispering to each other. When they saw Wang Dong'er come in, Lan Luoluo waved to Her.
The five of them found seats and sat down.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu sat together, while Cui Yajie, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao sat in the row behind them.
More people gradually entered the classroom, mostly students from the offensive and control departments who performed well in the freshman assessment.
Dai Huabin roughly counted, and there were about thirty people.
The school bell rang.
The classroom door was pushed open, and a figure walked in.
Zhou Yi.
She was wearing a dark gray teacher's robe and an old-age mask on her face.
The eyes visible behind the mask were bright, and when they swept across the classroom, they carried a sense of oppressive scrutiny.
The classroom fell silent instantly.
Zhou Yi stepped onto the podium, without introducing herself or exchanging pleasantries, and began speaking directly:
"From today onwards, you are students of Class 1, Grade 1. I am your homeroom teacher, Zhou Yi."
Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear.
"There's only one rule: listen. You can ask if you don't understand, and you can leave if you don't want to listen. But as long as you're sitting in this classroom, you'd better behave yourself."
