Seeing that Ling Zichen agreed, Su Mo turned to Leng Yulai and instructed, "Wait here for a while, I'll take her to the research base."
“Yes!” Leng Yulai nodded seriously.
"Psychic art!"
Su Mo raised his right hand and slammed it onto the ground, and a black spirit array appeared on the ground.
As Su Mo used the summoning technique, the shadow clone that Su Mo had stored on a remote island far from the mainland, specifically for research purposes, seemed to sense something. While rejecting Su Mo's summoning, it used the reverse summoning technique to summon Su Mo in the opposite direction.
"what is this?"
Looking at the magic array that appeared on the ground, Ling Zichen asked with a curious expression.
"You'll find out later!" Su Mo kept everyone in suspense.
Then, with a "bang!", Su Mo vanished into thin air as a wisp of white smoke, leaving Ling Zichen utterly shocked.
Before Ling Zichen could figure out what was going on, a huge coffin suddenly appeared behind her and put her inside.
……
Time flies, and the month-long holiday is over in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, the start of the new semester at Donghai Academy has arrived.
The morning sunlight streamed in through the college's tall archway, and a bustling crowd moved in and out of the campus.
The once empty and quiet campus has come alive again with the return of students.
Laughter, shouts, and footsteps mingled together, giving the entire academy a long-lost vitality.
Inside Class Zero, a gentle breeze carrying the warmth of late summer stirred the curtains.
Xie Xie yawned and pushed the door open, but was suddenly stunned when he looked up—he actually saw Su Mo.
Su Mo sat upright in the classroom by the window.
The sunlight slanted down on Su Mo, giving him a quiet and composed air.
Xie Xie rubbed his eyes and quickly looked at Tang Wulin beside him, muttering softly, "Wulin, am I seeing things...?"
Tang Wulin shook his head; he was also unsure of Su Mo's situation.
Although they had expected to see Su Mo on the first day of school, they did not expect Su Mo to arrive in the classroom so early, which was very unusual.
"You are here!"
Upon seeing Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, Su Mo took the initiative to greet them.
When Xie Xie heard Su Mo greet him, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock. Was this really the Su Mo he knew?
For a moment, Xie Xie even wondered if he was hallucinating from staying up late playing games.
To prove that this wasn't a hallucination, Xie Xie quickly pinched Tang Wulin.
"Ouch! Xie Xie, what are you doing!" Tang Wulin winced in pain and glared at Xie Xie.
Xie Xie scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, "I just wanted to make sure I wasn't dreaming."
"Then why don't you pinch yourself?" Tang Wulin retorted with a dark face.
"Uh... I'm just afraid of pain, aren't I?"
"roll!"
"okay!"
After a bit of playful fighting, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, the two best friends, greeted Su Mo.
Gu Yue was the last to push open the classroom door.
Compared to before the holiday, Gu Yue's face now showed more unconcealed sorrow, looking preoccupied.
However, when Gu Yue's gaze fell on Su Mo, she was clearly stunned.
Unlike Xie Xie, she didn't make a fuss. Instead, she quietly withdrew her gaze and sat down in the empty seat in the middle.
Ling Zichen's scenes are temporarily suspended; the story will now return to the main plot.
Chapter 56 The Transfer Student!
"Ding~"
As the school bell rang precisely on time, Wu Changkong appeared at the door of Class Zero classroom, just as always.
His face still had that perpetually icy expression; anyone who didn't know better would think his entire family had died.
However, unlike before, this time Wu Changkong had a little tail following him.
Although the other party was hiding behind Wu Changkong, their specific appearance could not be seen clearly.
However, judging from her clothing and appearance, it's not hard to tell that she is a girl.
Tang Wulin and the others also noticed the girl following behind Wu Changkong and cast curious glances at him.
Wu Changkong ignored the curious glances from Tang Wulin and the others, and walked straight to the podium with a cold face.
His sharp gaze swept over Class Zero, only pausing almost imperceptibly when it passed over Su Mo.
"Today, our Class Zero will welcome another student!"
Wu Changkong spoke calmly, his voice still as cold and forceful as ever.
"New student!!!"
Upon hearing that there were new students, Xie Xie immediately craned his neck and looked curiously toward the door.
Xie Xie's impatient appearance immediately earned him a death stare from Wu Changkong. Startled by Wu Changkong's glare, Xie Xie quickly shrank back.
Wu Changkong nodded in satisfaction, then turned and waved to the slender figure standing at the door, "Xu Xiaoyan, come in!"
"Uh-huh!"
Hearing Wu Changkong call her name, Xu Xiaoyan didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. Her small feet, clad in white socks and shiny leather shoes, strode quickly in.
In order to make a good impression on her classmates in Class Zero, Xu Xiaoyan dressed up carefully today.
Her light blue princess skirt swayed slightly with her movements, and her ice-blue twin ponytails swayed gently behind her, making her already adorable face even more charming.
"Why is it her?"
After seeing who it was, Xie Xie immediately whispered to Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue didn't have a good impression of Xu Xiaoyan.
They clearly remembered how Xu Xiaoyan and his brother tried to steal the spiritual energy aura that they had worked so hard to hunt down when they saw that Xu Xiaoyan was weak, but ended up being killed instead.
Although they wouldn't hold a grudge against Xu Xiaoyan over such a minor conflict, they certainly wouldn't give her a friendly look.
As for Xu Xiaoyan, perhaps because she was unfamiliar with the place or because of the overwhelming pressure from Wu Changkong, she started to walk with the wrong steps.
Xu Xiaoyan's comical clumsy movements made Xie Xie burst into laughter on the spot.
Although Tang Wulin didn't laugh out loud like Xie Xie, the upturned corners of his mouth said it all.
Listening to Xie Xie's unrestrained mockery, Xu Xiaoyan really wanted to shout at Xie Xie, "What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?"
As the little princess who was pampered by the Xu family since childhood, Xu Xiaoyan had never suffered such humiliation.
However, with Wu Changkong present, Xu Xiaoyan could only glare angrily at Xie Xie.
As a proper fangirl, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on Wu Changkong, this handsome guy.
"..."
Wu Changkong, having witnessed Xu Xiaoyan's timid and hesitant demeanor, shook his head in disappointment.
If Xu Xiaoyan gets this nervous just from showing up in front of everyone, she'll hardly amount to anything in the future.
If he hadn't been so annoyed by Long Hengxu, the head of the teaching department, he wouldn't have allowed Xu Xiaoyan to join Class Zero.
"Xie Xie!"
Wu Changkong coldly called out Xie Xie's name, and Xie Xie immediately became obedient.
"Xu Xiaoyan, please introduce yourself!"
Wu Changkong gently patted Xu Xiaoyan's shoulder and gave a command in a calm tone.
Xu Xiaoyan lowered her head, looking shy, and said, "Um... hello everyone, my name is Xu Xiaoyan, and I am ten years old."
"My martial soul is the Star Wheel Ice Staff, with a soul power of level seventeen."
After Xu Xiaoyan finished her self-introduction, Wu Changkong turned his gaze to Su Mo and the others, and calmly instructed, "You guys should also introduce yourselves to the new classmates!"
Xie Xie stepped forward with a grin. "Xu Xiaoyan, my name is Xie Xie. I am eleven years old and my cultivation level is 23, a Great Soul Master."
"As for martial spirits, you should have already seen them."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and her resentment was almost overflowing.
Of course, Xu Xiaoyan's resentment was not only directed at Xie Xie, but also at her older brother Xu Xiaoyu.
If her brother hadn't assured her so confidently that he could guide her through the Ascension Platform during its turbulent period without any obstacles, she would never have gone in.
Originally, she just wanted to broaden her horizons, but instead of seeing the world, she was sent away by Xie Xie's Light Dragon Blade, and now she's being mocked by Xie Xie right in the face.
After Xie Xie sat down, Tang Wulin stood up. "My name is Tang Wulin, I am ten years old, my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I am a level 20 Great Soul Master!"
Compared to Xie Xie's carefree attitude, Tang Wulin's self-introduction seemed much more honest and down-to-earth.
"What! You're level 20?"
Before Xu Xiaoyan could get a good look at him, Xie Xie screamed as if he had seen a ghost.
"Wu Lin, tell me honestly, did you open it?"
Xie Xie jumped up as if his pants were on fire, grabbed Tang Wulin by the collar, and said in a serious tone.
Before the holiday, Tang Wulin's cultivation level was only level 16. However, after a month, he jumped four levels and became a level 20 two-ring Great Soul Master.
What else could this be but opening?
Su Mo and Gu Yue also glanced at Tang Wulin in surprise. Tang Wulin felt a little embarrassed by everyone's gaze and scratched his head awkwardly.
Seeing that everyone, including Su Mo, was focusing their attention on Tang Wulin, Wu Changkong revealed a subtle smile.
