Chapter 88 of the First Person
At the same time, a purple light suddenly appeared in the northern part of the star-filled night sky. As the only two Soul Masters with the Star Aspect attribute present, Ye Xinglan and Xu Xiaoyan looked up at the night sky simultaneously.
Chapter 167 Fate
Feeling the surge of power within her, Ye Xinglan smiled brightly. She knew this was help Chen Ran had specially given her because he couldn't bear to let her go.
Therefore... she would never let him down.
Xie Xie and Zheng Yiran, sitting opposite Ye Xinglan, stared in disbelief at her sudden surge in aura.
"No! Is this reasonable? Is this reasonable? Shouldn't it be us whose strength has suddenly increased in this situation?!" Xie Xie retreated, on the verge of tears.
Zheng Yiran entered a weakened state after her bloodlust period ended, and was taken away by Wu Siduo with a single claw.
Their group of eighteen was utterly crushed by the two demon kings opposite them. Only Zheng Yiran and her followers Zheng Long and Zheng Hu, who had both consumed bloodthirsty red bean buns and recklessly released intense poisonous mist to slow them down, were able to escape.
He realized he had already been killed by Ye Xinglan's sword. Just as Xie Xie retreated, trying to create distance between himself and Ye Xinglan, another catgirl who had been lurking in the shadows swiftly struck, delivering a fatal blow to Xie Xie.
Whoosh! A black, illusory shadow suddenly rushed out from Xie Xie's side and rear. Xie Xie's pupils contracted sharply. The approaching shadow gradually disappeared as it accelerated, and then Wu Siduo, with four purple soul rings, appeared behind it.
A streak of white light flashed, and Xie Xie transformed into white light and disappeared into the night sky. Ye Xinglan, holding the Star God Sword, looked at the tall, beautiful cat-eared girl under the bright moonlight, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes.
Wu Siduo straightened her hair, glanced at Ye Xinglan's chest, then smirked, proudly raising her head and looking at Ye Xinglan with disdain.
Swish! Ye Xinglan saw the disdain in Wu Siduo's eyes and her deliberately posed gesture, and her face immediately turned red. What did she have to be so arrogant about!
On the other side, the six elements of earth, fire, water, wind, light, and darkness relentlessly bombarded the area ahead. Gu Yue gave the opposing side a real demonstration of what a cannon emplacement was all about.
Poor Xu Yucheng, he was just about to make a big splash after eating the Bloodthirsty Red Bean Bun when he was blasted back by Gu Yue's overwhelming elemental barrage.
Na'er, holding the Silver Dragon Spear, kept scanning Gu Yue's back, wondering whether she should give her a heartfelt message.
Gu Yue, without turning her head, said, "If you dare to stab me, I'll tell Chen Ran! I'll say you're jealous of our relationship and tried to sabotage me!"
"Huh? How did you know!" Na'er put away the silver dragon spear that she was about to strike Gu Yue's head and asked curiously.
Hearing Na'er's words, Gu Yue's eyes narrowed. She knew Na'er had ulterior motives.
"Let's go!" After glancing at the cleaned-up battlefield, Na'er flashed her gun and went to find Qian Gu Chen Ran to claim credit.
Gu Yue's forehead veins bulged. This kind of person was actually her other half! What a joke! Just thinking about how Na'er was lazy and didn't do anything productive all day made Gu Yue furious.
The Silver Dragon King was wise and powerful, with unparalleled wisdom, yet she was given this foolish half of her body, Na'er! What a terrible fate!
.......................................
"Purple Star! How is that possible! There really are people with such a destiny." Xu Xiaoyan covered her mouth, looking incredulously at the purple star in the northern night sky that echoed Qian Gu Chen Ran and was surrounded by the Big Dipper.
"Purple Star? What does that mean! Xiaoyan, why are you trembling! Cheer up!" Tang Wulin looked at Xu Xiaoyan, whose face had turned pale, and then glanced warily at Qian Gu Chenran, who was deep in thought, and asked in confusion.
"Everyone has their own corresponding star! For us Soul Masters with astrological attributes, our corresponding star is crucial to our cultivation and future."
"Some people are born with a cursed star, destined to live a lonely life, while others are born with a literary star, destined to be exceptionally talented and achieve high honors. But among all these astrological predictions, there is only one star that far surpasses the imagination of ordinary people."
"Sitting atop the North Pole, ruling over the stars, with all the celestial constellations surrounding it. The Heavenly Emperor Star, Ziwei Star." As if to verify Xu Xiaoyan's words, Ziwei Star suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
Suddenly, the Star Wheel Ice Staff went out of Xu Xiaoyan's control, flew from her hand into the sky, and turned into a sky full of starlight before dissipating into the air.
With a thunderous roar, the fourth spirit ring lit up, and countless purple lightning bolts descended from the sky, attacking Tang Wulin and the others. To Wu Changkong's astonishment, everyone else, including Tang Wulin, turned into patches of white light and vanished into the air.
The earthen wall that had been dividing the battlefield had also been reduced to dust by the attack of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tribulation! At this moment, only the people of Qian Gu Chen Ran's side remained on the field.
Na'er and Ye Xinglan exchanged a glance, both declining the opportunity to be vice class monitor. For the former, she'd rather spend that time enjoying good food. For the latter, being class monitor would be a waste of her sword practice and time spent with Qian Gu Chenran.
Seeing that Na'er and Ye Xinglan had both chosen to abstain, Gu Yue and Wu Siduo nodded to Qian Gu Chenran and also left the arena. With Qian Gu Chenran's final withdrawal, the selection competition came to an end.

Apart from Gu Yue and the other three, everyone else watched in horror as Qian Gu Chen Ran emerged from the machine. Those who left first witnessed the entire brutal battle that Qian Gu Chen Ran had fought.
Yang Nianxia, who was kicked off the field, Xu Xiaoyan and Luo Guixing, whose martial souls were destroyed by Qian Gu Chenran, and Xu Yucheng, who was blasted by Gu Yue and had no power to fight back, sat in a corner in silence.
This is so discouraging; their contribution in this match wasn't even as much as Xu Lizhi, who was playing support.
"This competition has already selected three class leaders for our class. The class leader for Class 1, Grade 1 is Qian Gu Chen Ran. The vice class leaders are Gu Yue and Wu Si Duo. One year from now, if anyone is dissatisfied, they can choose to challenge any of the three class leaders. The winner will take office, and the loser will step down."
After saying that, Shen Yi and Wu Changkong announced the end of get out of class.
"Let's go, let's go! Let's go home for dinner today!" Na'er pushed Qian Gu Chenran towards the school gate.
Ye Xinglan and Gu Yue left with them. Wu Siduo watched their departing figures and followed after them.
Seeing this, the others also left the training ground in small groups. Everyone present was convinced of Qian Gu Chen Ran's strength. They had just been somewhat bewildered by the gap between themselves and his opponent.
Tang Wulin stretched and turned to lead Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan toward the cafeteria. Eating is the most important thing in the world; everything else comes after that.
On the way back to the Spirit Tower
"What are you doing following us!" Ye Xinglan raised her eyebrows and looked at Wu Siduo, who had been following them, with dissatisfaction.
"Me? Of course I'll go eat with our boss!" Wu Siduo smoothed her hair and gave Ye Xinglan a provocative smile.
"Boss? Aren't I your number one little brother?!" Na'er looked at Qian Gu Chenran with a questioning expression.
"Goodness! Chronologically speaking, the kitten is indeed my first little brother, but you've spent the most time with me. So you two are both number one."
Qian Gu Chen waved to Wu Si Duo behind him: "Come on! Let's go back to the Spirit Pagoda and have a big meal together."
"Mmm!" Wu Siduo nodded, smiling as she ran to Qian Gu Chenran's side. Seeing the way she ran towards him, Na'er and Gu Yue understood Ye Xinglan's feelings at that moment.
How come there's an over-standard monster here too!
Chapter 168 Battle Armor Grouping
On their way back to the Spirit Tower, Gu Yue and Na'er looked at the three people ahead with incomprehension and resentment in their eyes.
Wu Siduo and Yuan En Yehui are both supermodel monsters, so it's acceptable for them. But what's wrong with Ye Xinglan?
"Honestly! Why didn't you make it bigger back then!" Na'er glared at Shi Guyue, who was also frowning, and realized that in some aspects, the two Silver Dragon Kings combined couldn't beat Ye Xinglan.
"Shut up! We knew this would happen! And I didn't create your body. Your inability to grow up is entirely your own problem."
Hearing Gu Yue's blunt truth, Na'er immediately flew into a rage. What a joke! How could she, the Dragon Spear Goddess, be incapable! Her imperfections were entirely Gu Yue's fault.
And so, the two Silver Dragon Kings started arguing through their special telepathic connection, completely unaware that Qian Gu Chenran was chatting and laughing with Wu Siduo, Ye Xinglan, and Yuan En Ye Hui in front of them.
Pushing open the door, Xia Zhengleng saw another girl beside her son, her eyes filled with satisfaction. As expected of her son, Xia Zhengleng, he had brought home another daughter-in-law.

next day
Wu Changkong and Shen Yi entered the classroom as the school bell rang. Shen Yi turned around, picked up the chalk, and wrote the two large characters "Dou Kai" on the blackboard, while Wu Changkong sat to the side, watching the students of Class One.
"Students! I believe you all know that our Shrek Academy's graduation assessment focuses on whether you have a complete set of battle armor. Therefore, I hope that those of you with lower-level secondary professions will seize the time to study in various associations."
After all, the sooner the battle armor is completed, the better. I believe some students don't want their journey to stop here.
On the first day of school, Shen Yi's words put a lot of pressure on many students in the class. Those with low secondary profession levels, such as Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan, felt a sense of urgency.
In Shrek Academy's outer court, if a Soul Master hasn't passed the entrance exam for the inner court by their fourth year, they are destined to never enter the inner court. If they want to enter the inner court, they must at least create their Battle Armor by their third year.
The two students from Donghai Academy exchanged a glance and nodded in unison. For their own future, they would start striving to catch up from today onwards.
Coming from prominent families, the two could receive little help from their families in the blacksmithing field, but the other four professions provided more than enough assistance.
It's only because of their past laziness and failure to recognize the importance of a side job that they've fallen so far behind their peers.
Seeing that Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie both felt a sense of urgency, Shen Yi nodded in satisfaction. As the grand-disciples of Zhuo Shi, if they failed to pass the inner court exam, their teacher would truly lose face.
"Next, please invite Teacher Wu to come up on stage and explain today's lesson to us." Upon hearing Shen Yi's speech, Wu Changkong stood up and walked to the stage.
Under his icy gaze, the chatter that had just begun below the stage immediately ceased. "Today we're going to talk about mechs. To become a Battle Armor Master, you must first become a Mech Master. The two have some similarities..."
Next, Wu Changkong gave a detailed introduction to the mecha to everyone present. He didn't stop lecturing until the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.
"Qian Gu Chen Ran, Gu Yue, Na Er, Ye Xing Lan, Wu Si Duo, Tang Wu Lin, and Luo Gui Xing, please stay. The rest of you, please leave get out of class." Wu Chang Kong read out the names of the students. Seeing that there was nothing for them to do, the other students wisely left the classroom first.
Shen Yi took out a stack of documents and placed them on the table: "This is the enrollment registration form, which records the secondary profession levels of the students in the class. Chen Ran, you three class leaders will go to the four major secondary profession associations to register the first-year students. You also have another task: to discuss group arrangements. The teaching task for the first year is to work in groups to build mechs, in preparation for building battle armor in the future."
Including Chen Ran and Tang Wulin, there are eight blacksmiths in our class. Therefore, you need to divide the students into eight groups. Chen Ran is serving as a class committee member for four classes! Na'er, you will be responsible for helping Chen Ran with his work. If possible, it would be best if each group had an average skill level! That's it, please divide the groups today.”
After issuing the task, Shen Yi and Wu Changkong left the classroom. Only Qian Gu Chenran and the other six remained in the classroom.
Tang Wulin and Luo Guixing, two unfortunate brothers, sat together facing the four opponents. Two against four, the opposing side held the advantage.
"Let me see! Nine blacksmiths! The number of people for mecha design, mecha manufacturing, and mecha repair is about the same. Let's allocate them according to their strength then." Qian Gu Chen Ran said, about to assign the groups now.
"But class monitor, didn't Teacher Shen hope that the strength of each group could be evenly distributed? If the strong groups are combined, it's a bit unreasonable for the students with lower secondary profession levels."
When Tang Wulin saw that Qian Gu Chenran was going to choose the grouping method he least wanted, he immediately came out to stop him.
"Huh? Makes sense? Do you know how much effort it takes to forge a battle armor? If they want to get into the inner academy, they need to start preparing blueprints and making mechs to practice their skills right now. After all, no mech forger can guarantee that they can make battle armor perfectly on the first try."
If we follow your method of division, what about those students with high-level secondary professions? Are they just going to waste their precious time helping each other?
"Chen Ran is right!"
"reasonable!"
Both vice class monitors, Gu Yue and Wu Siduo, unanimously agreed with Qian Gu Chenran's suggestion. Na'er nodded in agreement, giving Tang Wulin a disdainful look; no wonder he was the former host of the Golden Dragon King—his brains were all equally dull.
If you want to help Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie, just say so. None of the people here are fools; how could they not understand what Tang Wulin meant?
"Since you want to help those two, then let the eight blacksmiths choose their own people. You, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan can form a team! The rest of us can form a team." Wu Siduo coldly gave her suggestion.
Tang Wulin scratched his head; this was the only method left. To gain a foothold in Shrek Academy, no student wanted their teammate to be a level one noob.
But the three of them came from the East Sea together, and Tang Wulin didn't want to abandon them. He had no choice but to take the two of them and find other people to team up with.
Luo Guixing patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay! They both come from prominent families. If they really study hard, they can catch up with the other students very quickly."
"If Tang Wulin wants to quickly improve his three secondary professions related to mecha, I suggest you learn from the Mingdu Royal Soul Guidance Academy."
Tang Wulin looked at Qian Gu Chenran with a puzzled expression, but Luo Guixing suddenly realized something. He nodded and looked at Tang Wulin with surprise: "Class monitor Wulin is right. Mingdu is one of the few academies that still cultivates traditional soul guidance techniques."
Learning Soul Guidance is tedious and time-consuming, but their books and exercises on the basics will definitely be useful for Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie. If we just have Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan study hard and practice problems this semester, they can catch up next semester.”
"Okay!" Tang Wulin nodded happily. Since there was a solution, he believed that Xie Xie and the other person would be very happy.
That evening, when the two saw the stack of books and workbooks that was more than a meter high, they immediately shed tears of regret.
Waaaaah! I should have seriously studied for a side job back then.
