The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

The puppet ink-scaled horned lizard slid and crashed into us like a runaway car.

Huangfu Yue remained calm and composed.

She gripped the central handle of the Dark Moon Cold Bow with both hands and pulled it forcefully to both sides.

click!

With a crisp sound, the icy blue longbow immediately separated.

It transformed into two frost-blue longswords with slightly curved backs!

Its style is somewhat similar to that of the Qi family knife.

Huangfu Yue gripped her twin swords, took a deep breath, and assumed a fighting stance.

Then, with its toes touching the ground, it moved forward instead of retreating, actually pouncing on the puppet black-scaled lizard that had charged at it!

The two came into brief contact.

They quickly broke free.

In an instant, two crescent moons, one blue and one black, flashed by rapidly, then disappeared from sight.

Dual-wielding style - Hidden Moon in the Clouds!

"Bah!"

This is the screeching sound of a shoe sole rubbing against the ground.

Huangfu Yue stood firmly on her feet and straightened her spine again.

The silver hair around her ears swayed slightly forward before falling back down.

The silver-haired girl parted her cherry lips slightly, exhaled a long, stale breath, and quickly returned to normal.

He then raised his hand and reassembled the two swords into a large bow, without turning his head to look behind him.

The outcome was already predetermined, so what's the point of watching?

"Crack!"

The moment the Dark Moon Cold Bow closed.

The loud crash of a heavy object hitting the wall also rang out from behind Huangfu Yue.

The puppet black-scaled horned lizard was lying belly up in the corner.

His whole body was crackling with electric sparks.

The head and a pair of forelegs were separated from the body and scattered around like parts.

[Training session concluded. Congratulations on your victory!]

[Total time: 10 seconds]

Inside the room, a broadcast began.

Huangfu Yue closed her eyes, and the Dark Moon Cold Bow in her hand transformed back into a soul card and flew back into her body.

Since being accepted as a disciple by her master, she has diligently practiced day and night.

Physical training, close combat, swordsmanship, firearms shooting...

For the past three years, apart from being sick and recovering from injuries, she has not slacked off for a single day.

The purpose is to quickly build up combat power after awakening the Soul Card!

Ten seconds is a result that can only be described as barely satisfactory.

She felt that with some effort, she could still make further progress.

But this score is more than enough to make him the top student in our school, right?

But the system's subsequent announcement quickly and ruthlessly shattered Huangfu Yue's conjecture.

[His score has been added to the leaderboard; he is currently ranked second!]

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired girl immediately fell silent.

There are only two students in the entire school with the potential to obtain a gold-level soul card.

She ranked second.

Who else could be number one besides Zhang Ziyang?

Living under the same roof, Huangfu Yue had a fairly good understanding of Zhang Ziyang's fighting skills.

To describe it in two words—it's alright.

His grades wouldn't even rank in the top 100 in the school; they'd be considered above average.

Compared to myself, I'm far behind.

But even with this level of skill, he was able to surpass himself and rank first.

Huangfu Yue remained silent.

It seems my guess was right. Zhang Ziyang's soul card ability greatly enhances his personal combat power; he should be the type who is incredibly strong and can send bricks flying.

You don't need to use your brain or play any tricks in battles; just overpower the opponents with sheer numbers.

But this fighting habit is not good.

Doing this at a lower level is fine, but once you reach a certain level, the numerical gap can be made up for in many ways.

For example, wildcards, monster blood essence, card-type beasts, high-level release devices...

At that point, skill will still be a factor to consider.

If Zhang Ziyang doesn't discover this problem in time, and it becomes a habit, he will suffer a great loss before long.

After all, it's perfect without Soul Cards.

Even with her Frost Moon Nether Dragon, if one looks carefully, one can find ways to counter it.

But she didn't need to worry about or remind her about such things.

True geniuses break free from their cages and overcome obstacles!

She just needs to focus on herself.

Huangfu Yue stopped thinking about it and walked towards the parameter settings panel in the corner, no longer caring about the ranking.

If there are too few first-tier puppet beasts, they can no longer put any pressure on her.

Next, she will try to kill as many puppet beasts as possible in the shortest amount of time.

Once I'm in peak condition, my master should be contacting me soon.

Once everything is ready, her growth rate will far exceed everyone's imagination!

……

Zhang Ziyang came out of the training room.

I didn't see Huangfu Yue.

The screen on her door was still lit up with a red light, indicating that the person inside was still using it.

"Still practicing? You're so diligent!"

Zhang Ziyang sighed, glanced at the central screen that had been activated, and then went straight downstairs.

As soon as I reached the entrance, I saw a large group of students coming in.

It seems that absorbing the energy of the crystal core pushed his body to its limit.

So I came to the training room to practice and figure out the abilities of the Soul Cards.

A lot of people came.

Students from other classes gradually joined the crowd.

Although the three floors are large, they cannot accommodate so many students training at the same time.

It's easy to imagine how many people will be lining up in front of each room.

It's probably going to be overrun, just like the toilets in tourist attractions.

Zhang Ziyang was somewhat glad that he arrived early; otherwise, who knows how long he would have had to wait in line.

"Brother Yang!"

A familiar voice sounded.

"Cai Kun?"

Zhang Ziyang looked in the direction of the sound, but could not see anyone.

All I could see in the crowd was a striking middle-part hairstyle and a hand raised high.

Cai Kun pushed through the crowd and ran quickly to Zhang Ziyang, his face beaming with excitement.

"Brother Yang, guess how many stars I've prepared?"

Zhang Ziyang glanced at him.

Compared to before, his energy and spirit are much better.

He must have gained something to brag about.

"Seven stars?" Zhang Ziyang casually gave a number.

Cai Kun's expression froze instantly, and he waved his hand somewhat awkwardly:

"How is this possible? Seven stars in half a day is too outrageous. Only monsters could probably achieve this level. I'm only three stars."

"Oh? Not bad."

"Right? Everyone else is basically only one star now, some don't even have one star yet. My results are really good, aren't they!"

Cai Kun stood with his hands on his hips, looking somewhat smug.

He then asked curiously:

"By the way, Yang-ge, what level are you at now?"

"Usually, it's only seven stars."

Zhang Ziyang replied calmly.

"More...take less?"

Cai Kun's expression froze, his eyes widened, and his mouth was so open it could fit a chicken!

Zhang Ziyang smiled slightly, revealing a set of pearly white teeth that could easily endorse a toothpaste brand:

"Seven Stars".

"..."

Cai Kun was rendered speechless.

No.

Seven stars in half a day, is there really anyone who can achieve such an incredible result?

I was just saying it casually, but you actually did it?

"Ordinary", "just so-so"...

Listen, is this human language?!

Damn it, if he weren't as brave as Lü Bu, he would have already betrayed his adoptive father!

After a long silence, Cai Kun spoke with difficulty:

"Brother Yang, you really opened it, right?"

Even if you have the potential of a gold-tier soul card, this result is simply too outrageous!

He has very mixed feelings right now.

We agreed to share both joy and sorrow, but you've already accepted the good times and left me to do as I please?

Zhang Ziyang patted him on the shoulder and replied cheerfully:

"You're bad, so practice more! Keep it up, I'm going back now."

After saying that, he slowly walked away with his hands behind his back.

Cai Kun was left alone, his middle part disheveled in the wind.

Cai Kun paused for a while before heading to the training room on the third floor.

Stay calm and keep a positive attitude; you've already done a fantastic job.

You can't compare to Yang Ge, he's a monster!

That's right! Who in their right mind would use the Seven Stars technique for half a day?

Cai Kun calmed himself down and, as soon as he reached the third floor, saw a group of people gathered around the central screen, marveling at its beauty.

"Some juicy gossip?"

Cai Kun's gossip radar was instantly triggered; his eyes lit up, and he quickly ran over.

Upon arriving at the destination, he looked up at the large central screen.

Below the top [Single-Training Leaderboard], the first name highlighted in bold red is clearly written...

001, Zhang Ziyang, opponent: Tier 1 3-star Rockbreaker Giant Gorilla, time: 4.5 seconds.

(Achievements achieved by wearing the Wind Eagle Armor and using the Wildcard Energy Slash)

002, Huangfu Yue, opponent: Tier 1, 2-star Inkscale Horned Lizard, time: 10 seconds.

(After that, there was no further training on a one-to-many basis, and no leaderboard was set up.)

……

Cai Kun's smile gradually faded as he looked at the familiar name on the leaderboard that was so close to Goddess Huangfu.

Fighting someone of a higher level?

They actually won?

Why did it take so little time in the end?

Yang, you really deserve to die!

But Cai Kun changed his mind.

That's not right. The stronger the godfather, the stronger the patron he is!

That’s okay!
