Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
============================
East Sea Academy, the first day of school.
Most other classes were basically testing the Students' physical fitness and Spirit Power cultivation, getting a baseline to see their progress over the break, and then formulating teaching plans for the new semester accordingly.
But Class Zero, as an experimental class, was naturally different from the others. Wu Changkong, a teacher from Shrek Academy, also had a teaching style very different from other teachers. Just like now, on the morning of the first day of school, everyone from Class Zero had come to the training room.
Wu Changkong stood before them, dressed in white as pure as snow, his expression cold and stern.
He naturally knew that Na'er was from Shrek Academy, and even more so that she was Yun Ming's disciple.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have broken his own rules to let her join Class Zero at this time. He wasn't clear about Na'er's cultivation and strength, but to be valued by Yun Ming, she was naturally a young Genius as well.
As for why she wasn't on the Young Genius List, Wu Changkong also knew that this list wasn't actually all that authoritative.
After all, it was just something created by the Spirit Pagoda; many talented youths wouldn't appear on the list if they didn't have publicly remarkable battle records. Throughout the continent, various families and powers had many hidden geniuses.
At this moment, Wu Changkong's gaze slowly swept over the five people in the class, searching for an opponent for Na'er.
First, he excluded Huo Yuhao. Even he couldn't say he would definitely win against this young man now, so he naturally couldn't let him take the field.
Then, he also excluded Gu Yue. As a teacher, he knew that many people underestimated Gu Yue's combat power.
Finally, he announced, "Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, the three of you will fight Na'er."
Under Wu Changkong's guidance, the five Students of Class Zero had plenty of actual combat experience. Hearing the teacher's instructions, Tang Wulin and the other two immediately stepped forward.
Xie Xie leaned in toward Tang Wulin and asked in a low voice, "Wulin, you know Na'er. How's her strength?"
Tang Wulin did indeed know Na'er, but when it came to her strength, he really didn't know.
However, considering she could withstand the Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him, she was naturally anything but simple.
He shook his head, his gaze falling on the silvery figure. "I don't know her specific strength, but she's definitely not weak. We just need to go all out."
Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie glanced at each other, a hint of solemnity flashing in their eyes. The others had already stepped back, leaving the center of the arena to the four who were about to clash.
"Begin!"
At Wu Changkong's command, both sides instantly underwent Spirit Body Enhancement!
Xie Xie was now at the Spirit Elder level, and three spirit rings slowly rose beneath his feet, all of which were thousand-year purple.
Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan were two-ring Spirit Grandmasters.
Xu Xiaoyan's two spirit rings were both hundred-year yellow, while Tang Wulin's were two thousand-year purple spirit rings. But when they saw the spirit rings on Na'er across from them, their hearts couldn't help but tremble.
Now Na'er held the Silver Dragon Spear; its shaft was entirely silvery-white, reflecting a cold luster under the lights. Beneath her feet, four spirit rings—three purple and one black—appeared one after another.
Na'er looked to be about the same age as them, yet she was actually a four-ring Spirit Ancestor! They knew this was another Genius on par with Gu Yue.
However, Tang Wulin and the other two weren't intimidated by Na'er's cultivation. Instead, an even more fiery Battle Intent ignited in their eyes.
As an agility-attack system Spirit Master, Xie Xie was the first to move. His figure flickered, his footwork shifting as he pulled out several afterimages, charging toward Na'er. The distance between them wasn't far to begin with, and in the blink of an eye, Xie Xie had rushed to Na'er's side.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Light Dragon Dagger in his hand sliced down diagonally, the dagger carving a sharp arc aimed straight for Na'er's neck. This strike was fast and precise, coming from a tricky angle that an ordinary person wouldn't be able to react to, but in Na'er's eyes, it was crystal clear.
Her gaze narrowed slightly, and her right foot suddenly kicked forward, striking the bottom of the Silver Dragon Spear's handle perfectly!
*Buzz!*
With a sharp whistling sound, the silver dragon spear instantly flipped, its shaft drawing a silver arc in the air, perfectly blocking Xie Xie's Light Dragon Dagger.
*Clang!*
A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out!
Xie Xie felt an overwhelming force surge from the Light Dragon Dagger; the power was far beyond his imagination.
His figure suddenly retreated explosively, his feet taking several steps on the ground before he barely managed to steady himself. His right hand trembled slightly, the web of his hand numbed, and he nearly lost his grip on the Light Dragon Dagger.
A hint of shock flashed in his eyes; Na'er's seemingly casual strike just now had given him a feeling of being irresistible.
That strength, he felt, could rival Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw!
Holding the Silver Dragon Spear in a reverse grip, Na'er moved her feet, about to attack in Xie Xie's direction. Her speed was also extremely fast, her silver figure flashing like a bolt of lightning.
Just then, an Ice Wheel carrying waves of cold air attacked from the side, its angle tricky and its timing perfect.
It was Xu Xiaoyan; she had been waiting for this opportunity. Na'er's feet flickered, her body tilting slightly to easily dodge the attack.
The Ice Wheel brushed past the corner of her clothes and crashed into the training room wall, turning into a shower of ice crystals.
Just as she was about to pursue, she suddenly leaped into the air! Countless blue spikes suddenly appeared on the ground! These spikes were dense, like a forest of blue thorns.
It was exactly Tang Wulin's second Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Thorns Array!
Huo Yuhao stood by the side, calmly observing the battle of the four. He instantly noticed the change in his Spirit; originally, his Blue Silver Grass had golden dragon-shaped patterns, but now those patterns had turned into dark red leaf veins. Furthermore, with his mental force, he sensed the change in the aura of Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass Spirit.
If Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass had previously felt tough or even sharp to him, carrying a keen killing intent.....then now the sharpness had receded, and the life aura had greatly increased instead.
Huo Yuhao's heart stirred, guessing that this might be related to the Dragon Clan Bloodline within Tang Wulin's body being extracted.
The battle between the four continued.
Although the Blue Silver Thorns Array was an area-of-effect Spirit Ability with wide coverage, it naturally wouldn't stump Na'er.
While in mid-air, the first spirit ring beneath her feet suddenly lit up.
Silver Dragon Power, activate!
A majestic force surged from within her, and her aura instantly skyrocketed!
The Silver Dragon Spear swept downward, its tip drawing an arc with silver light, and the Blue Silver Grass beneath her was sliced off at the roots! Tang Wulin and the other two often joined forces against enemies, their cooperation seamless, having long since formed their own battle rhythm.
Just as Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Thorns Array was neutralized by Na'er, Xie Xie's attack followed immediately. He knew that Na'er's Spirit Ancestor cultivation would definitely be difficult to deal with, so he was going all out now.
Second Spirit Ability and Third Spirit Ability, used simultaneously!
In an instant, several more figures of Xie Xie appeared on the field! These figures were in front or behind, left or right, each one lifelike, making it impossible to distinguish real from fake.
Even Na'er felt surrounded by enemies on all sides, with sharp killing intent approaching from every direction.
The golden and black Twin Dragon Storms seemed to whip up several sharp tornadoes within the training ground! Those tornadoes whirled and howled, slicing the air into fragments. And the eyes of these tornadoes were moving toward Na'er.
