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

Poke Huangfu Yue's face, three times?

He had never even considered such a thing!

This porcelain doll girl is the school's famous ice queen and school beauty.

Although there were many admirers, no one dared to approach them.

Despite living under the same roof with her for so long, our relationship is merely superficial.

If you dare to act recklessly, you'll probably get beaten to a pulp on the spot!

It's embarrassing to admit, but in terms of physical strength, Zhang Ziyang is currently no match for Huangfu Yue.

When Uncle Huangfu has free time, he trains Huangfu Yue and imparts some useful knowledge that is not found in books.

For example: police combat techniques, general wildcard identification and usage skills, survival tips in tight spaces...

In this respect, Huangfu Yue is exceptionally talented, and the speed of her growth has moved even Uncle Huangfu.

As for him, all I can say is that his future is promising.

The black-haired boy frowned, covered his head with his hand, and suddenly became conflicted.

The risks are high, but the rewards are tempting...

If he gives up like this, he'll wake up in the middle of the night and slap himself hard, then curse himself as a coward!

We have to come up with a solution.

Time ticked by, but Zhang Ziyang still had no clue whatsoever.

Since things have come to this, what's the point of eating...?

That's reckless!

So what if I get a good beating?

With the deadline fast approaching, Zhang Ziyang, filled with rage, suddenly stood up, bracing himself on the table with both hands.

Huangfu Yue raised her chin slightly. Having just finished a cup of soy milk, she calmly gazed at Zhang Ziyang, who had suddenly stood up and walked in front of her.

"Is something wrong?"

"I encountered a problem while meditating, so I wanted to ask you for advice."

Zhang Ziyang felt a little nervous, but his expression remained relatively natural.

Huangfu Yue glanced at him.

"Go ahead."

She noticed it when she called him downstairs.

The practice of meditation requires a balance of activity and rest, and perseverance.

If you rush things, it will have side effects.

Mild cases may result in headaches, while severe cases may even lead to fainting on the spot.

For beginners, it can be quite difficult to find the right balance.

Considering that Zhang Ziyang was about to offer her a generous gift, she did not refuse.

Seeing that she agreed, Zhang Ziyang became bolder and simply pulled out a chair and sat down next to Huangfuyue.

Great, as long as it's not a direct rejection, there's still room for maneuver!

As you get closer, a rich and pleasant cool fragrance immediately fills your nostrils, making you irresistibly captivated.

Zhang Ziyang took a light breath and asked:

"I would like to ask how to remain unaffected by external factors during meditation."

"Stay focused, and don't be greedy."

Huangfu Yue was extremely sparing with his words.

Zhang Ziyang scratched his head:

"That's it? This... Could you demonstrate it live?"

Huangfu Yue remained silent.

Those ethereal silver eyes stared at the boy for a few seconds, then he nodded.

In any case, after the awakening ceremony, they will no longer be from the same world.

Since we've known each other for a while, she can still grant this request.

"it is good."

After saying this, Huangfu Yue closed her eyes and said no more.

The girl had white hair and silver eyes, and was as cold as ice and snow. The skin exposed outside her clothes was also delicate and white, as if it were coated with a layer of jade-like light.

For a moment, Zhang Ziyang truly felt that the person sitting next to him was an ethereal ice sprite, untouched by worldly dust.

He composed himself and made a disclaimer in advance:

"So... shall I begin the interference?"

The porcelain doll girl didn't speak, but gently hummed in agreement with her delicate nose.

Zhang Ziyang raised his right hand and tentatively poked Huangfuyue's right cheek with his index finger.

Upon contact, a wonderful tactile sensation immediately spread through the fingertips.

It is delicate, smooth, soft and tender.

It was also slightly cool.

Feeling the warm touch on her cheek, the porcelain doll girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she quickly returned to calm.

Seeing that she didn't react, Zhang Ziyang became even bolder and gently poked her twice more.

[Task completed, reward issued]

[Friendly reminder: For maximum effect, it is recommended that you awaken your Soul Card before consuming the Demon Dragon's Essence Blood]

A system notification sounded.

Zhang Ziyang was secretly delighted and immediately withdrew his hand.

He resorted to this desperate measure because he was forced to do it for the mission reward.

Now that the objective has been achieved, there's no need to continue.

However, when acting, one must go all the way.

Zhang Ziyang took out his phone and played some music as a distraction.

“Abi 囧囧囧~”

"Give me a shout!"

Huangfu Yue remained unmoved.

Zhang Ziyang seized the opportunity to announce:

"Okay, thank you, I've learned a lot."

The porcelain doll girl opened her eyes, shook her head slightly, and didn't take it to heart.

They treated the interaction between the two as a trivial little episode.

Seeing that she was behaving the same as usual, Zhang Ziyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Good luck.

Huangfu Yue seems to be in a good mood today. Did she actually manage to get away with it?

As expected, the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.

Now it all depends on whether the system can deliver!

After breakfast, Aunt Zhao drove the two to school, and then went to work.

After getting off the bus, the two parted ways with perfect understanding and headed to their respective classrooms.

……

Feiteng Card Master High School.

A large number of staff members wearing hats and white uniforms were carefully setting up the Soul Card Awakening Ceremony on the playground.

One by one, palm-sized cards were taken out of the briefcase and then arranged in a specific order and angle.

Before long, a huge circular magic circle shining with a sky-blue light was set up.

Principal Zhao Long and Vice Principal Zhang Ming stood on the stage, looking down at the densely packed students below, their faces filled with anticipation.

Zhang Ming touched his receding hairline:

"I wonder how many geniuses will emerge from this ceremony. I heard that a gold medal came out of Xijiang Kashi High School next door, and Principal Li is all smiles."

Zhao Long snorted coldly upon hearing this:

"Li Guangwei just got lucky. Our school's students are definitely no worse than those from Xijiang!"

Zhang Ming gave an awkward laugh but didn't reply.

Awakening a Soul Card is almost entirely based on luck.

The higher the quality, the greater the potential to become a top card master!

Black is the worst; even if one becomes a card master, their future is limited.

Gold is the highest grade, and as long as the owner doesn't perish prematurely, they will all become a powerful card master in their field!

They are the pillars that support humanity in resisting monsters and demons, and the great sun that protects the region!

Unfortunately, those who awaken the golden soul card are still extremely rare.

If you're unlucky, a school might not produce a single gold medalist for several consecutive years.

Although Feiteng Card Master High School has a strong teaching staff, it has not produced a single gold medal in the past few years, making it an extremely unlucky school!

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhao Long, with his muscular chest puffed out, went up on stage, picked up the microphone, and delivered his pre-ceremony speech:

"Students, today is the important day for you to awaken your Soul Cards!"

I won't say any more nonsense, just congratulations to all students for awakening high-quality soul cards and getting gold cards every time!

Furthermore, don't be discouraged even if you fail to awaken a high-quality Soul Card.

The quality of your Soul Cards only determines the lower limit of your starting point as a Card Master, while your efforts will determine the upper limit of your life. You are all the future pillars of humanity!

With just a few simple words, he immediately enlivened the atmosphere in the room.

Many students looked on with anticipation and were filled with excitement.

After Zhao Long finished speaking, he received a signal from the staff and immediately waved and shouted:

"Now, all students, please line up and enter the Awakening Array in order, led by your teachers. Do not crowd, and maintain order!"

Zhang Ziyang was at the end of the third class's line, slowly moving along with the group.

Golden banners were pasted around the venue.

The banners bore auspicious slogans such as "One gold medal, and prestigious schools will come naturally."

My deskmate and best friend, Cai Kun, who has a middle parting hairstyle, looked nervous.

Holding a golden brocade pouch from some unknown temple, he kept chanting prayers for the protection of some unknown deity.

Zhang Ziyang looked around and found that many people were just as nervous as Cai Kun.

Looking at this scene, it's like a college entrance exam.

If Zhang Ziyang hadn't been confident, he would most likely have also become uneasy.

I don't know what my awakened Soul Card will look like.

If possible, I hope to ensure both strength and appearance.

Suddenly, Cai Kun tugged at Zhang Ziyang's sleeve and pointed to Class 1 next to them.

"Brother Yang, look over there!"
