Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 61 Xu Xiaoyan
Zhenhua watched as Su Qiu held the Heavenly Forging Metal in his hand, his face immediately beaming with a smile, as if his earlier exasperated expression was just an illusion.

It's good that you know to keep it.

Mu Ye shook his head as he watched. This old man had no shame; what was the difference between him and a sycophant?

They completely forgot that they weren't much better off in the first place.

Su Qiu returned home with a full load after his trip to Tiandou City.

Before leaving, Mu Ye specifically instructed Su Qiu not to rush to break through to the Soul Sect after reaching level 39, but to go to his place first.

January has arrived, and the new semester has begun.

Su Qiu returned to Donghai City, which he had always been loyal to.

Inside Class Zero, everyone gathered. While waiting for Wu Changkong to arrive for class, almost everyone secretly glanced at Gu Yue.

Unlike the others, Su Qiu pressed himself against Gu Yue and stared intently at her. Finally, he asked hesitantly, "Excuse me, have you come to the wrong classroom?"

"Hmph." Gu Yue rolled her eyes, still showing Su Qiu her profile.

Unlike before, this time her profile is absolutely stunning.

Her facial features were still the same, but they seemed completely different from before the holiday. At this moment, Gu Yue looked more lively between her brows.

Her eyes were slightly upturned at the corners, carrying a hint of unintentional arrogance. Her nose was straight and high, and the lines of her profile were like carefully polished jade. Her originally ordinary features now added a touch of breathtaking beauty to her face.

Gu Yue seemed like a completely different person; her beauty made Su Qiu gasp, and she couldn't help but voice everyone's thoughts: "Gu Yue, did you... have plastic surgery?"

"Pfft!" Xie Xie, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After being given a cold glance by Gu Yue, he immediately shut up and hurriedly looked down at his desk, glancing left and right.

Gu Yue turned her face to the side and blinked her clear eyes: "Haven't you heard that a girl changes a lot as she grows up?"

"Huh?" Su Qiu was uncertain: "But it's only been a month since we last met."

She raised her hand and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

Having good looks really makes a difference.

Now, even the arcs drawn by Gu Yue's fingertips carry a touch of coquettishness. "Perhaps my transformation will occur this month?"

"Right, right?"

“Yes, yes.” Na’er, who was standing to the side, couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to speak up for Gu Yue.

She didn't know what had suddenly triggered Gu Yue to overturn her original plan to proceed gradually and directly change her appearance back to normal.

Na'er couldn't understand it. She had mocked Gu Yue so much the night she arrived, and Gu Yue had managed to hold back and not change back. Now, suddenly, Gu Yue was planning to change back.

"Quiet."

At this moment, Wu Changkong walked into the classroom, attracting everyone's attention.

After not seeing each other for a month, hearing Wu Changkong's cold voice again made everyone feel somewhat warm.

It's this taste.

"We have a new student in our class today."

A blue-haired girl with pigtails walked in through the door.

"Introduce yourself." Still the same efficient dancer soaring through the sky.

Xu Xiaoyan turned to face everyone, looking somewhat shy: "Hello everyone, my name is Xu Xiaoyan, I am nine years old, my martial soul is the Star Wheel Ice Staff, and my soul power is level seventeen."

Having spent time together at the previous Spirit Ascension Platform, everyone naturally knew Xu Xiaoyan.

Having spent some time together, I noticed Xu Xiaoyan's timid behavior. Based on her performance at the time, she shouldn't have been able to get into Class Zero, right?

This is when Xie Xie comes in; he's always on the front lines when it comes to asking questions.

"Teacher, Xu Xiaoyan is so weak, how did she get into Class Zero?" Xie Xie asked curiously, bluntly. Weak?

In Su Qiu's opinion, who knew the situation, Xu Xiaoyan was incredibly strong. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the strongest control-type Soul Master in history.

Leaving aside the future, just looking at Xu Xiaoyan now, with her absolute authority, she can forcefully control the enemy for at least a second no matter what.

For Xie Xie and his group at this stage, perhaps a second is too short.

But for Su Qiu, a second was far too long.

He can shit on the enemy's head!

Before Wu Changkong could answer, Xu Xiaoyan tilted her head and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, it's through the back door."

Hmm, this scene looks so familiar.

The classroom fell silent as soon as he said that. Everyone turned to look at Su Qiu.

Yes, this girl has Su Qiu's qualities. Su Qiu was just like that when she entered Class Zero and faced the doubts of the students on the training ground, even more shameless, and she even took the lead in charging forward.

Su Qiu felt uneasy under everyone's gaze and slammed her hand on the table: "So what if Xu Xiaoyan got in through the back door? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Why am I looking at you? Don't you have any idea?
Xu Xiaoyan sensed the strange atmosphere. She wondered, was Su Qiu also admitted through connections?

His ability shouldn't be that good.

However, Xu Xiaoyan suddenly felt that this was an opportunity.

She excitedly ran to the empty seat behind Su Qiu and sat down, her pigtails swaying as she said ingratiatingly, "Did you also get in through connections? What a coincidence."

Incidentally, Su Qiu's desk mate is Gu Yue, and her right-hand desk mate is Na'er. To her left is the ever-present window.

"Hmm, more or less?" Upon reflection, Su Qiu realized that he really might have gotten in through connections.

Although he was capable, he got into Class Zero not because of that, but because of his connections.

He didn't even need to sign the contract that was mandatory for joining Class Zero.

Seeing this, Na'er's eyes turned unfriendly. She stared intently at Xu Xiaoyan, immediately noticing the other's ulterior motives.

Wu Changkong's gaze swept over Na'er's tense profile and then landed on Xu Xiaoyan.

He thoroughly enjoyed the little theater performance.

When Na'er first arrived, she was always at odds with Gu Yue. Unlike the other trainees who were still young and had a more mature mindset, Wu Changkong, as the teacher, quietly watched the drama unfold and found it quite enjoyable.

Now let's add Xu Xiaoyan to the mix.

Three women make a drama, it's unimaginable.

Su Qiu is someone who can be my best friend. Wu Changkong thought to himself, where can I find such a good person who can both spar with him and let him watch a mini-drama?

However, they still need to maintain their persona, so it's time to interrupt them.

Wu Changkong's tone remained calm: "Quiet. And Xu Xiaoyan, sit down. Class is about to begin."

Xu Xiaoyan felt a little intimidated by Na'er's gaze, so she quickly sat up straight and looked at the blackboard, but she still couldn't help but steal glances at Su Qiu, wondering how to get closer to her.

With a tap on the lectern, Wu Changkong's icy voice instantly quelled the classroom's commotion: "Today is the first day of the new semester. Prepare for a practical simulation. Let me see how much you've improved this month and whether you've fallen behind in your training. Everyone, assemble on the playground in five minutes."

"Huh? Real combat training right after the start of the semester?" Xie Xie groaned.

"Enough with the nonsense." Wu Changkong glanced coldly at Xie Xie. "If you don't want to practice, you can say so."

"How could that be? I'll train like crazy." Xie Xie immediately put on a playful smile, patted his chest and made a promise, but in his heart he was cursing Wu Changkong's "devilish teaching" to the core.

Five minutes later, the group from Class Zero lined up on the playground right on time.

Wu Changkong's gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Su Qiu, his brows twitching almost imperceptibly.
