Douluo Continent: Becoming a disciple of Jing Liu, illuminating all the gods

Chapter 9 Teasing the 'Silver Dragon King'

Chen Qiye casually slashed at the small fireball that was rushing towards him. The fireball was dodged and split in two, flying past Chen Qiye from both sides with a "bang..."

The fireball said that our place instantly turned into charcoal, the same color as before.

Chen Qiye lightly tiptoed, his body springing up again, quickly widening the distance between the two.

"Her abilities were a bit strange just now. The first time it was wind, and the second time it was fire. Twin martial souls?" Zhou Yi and the other students in Class One thought to themselves.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yue's eyes. Her attack so late wasn't due to slow reaction; it was intentional, to gauge the strength of the person before her. Unexpectedly, Chen Qiye's reaction was even faster than she anticipated, and his combat prowess was considerable, actually cleaving the fireball in two.

When Zhou Yi saw what had just happened, his expression turned serious, because even with his experience, he couldn't figure out what the girl's martial spirit was.

Chen Qiye paused for a moment, then jumped up again, this time faster than before. His movements were rhythmic yet impossible to pinpoint, and the distance between the two was rapidly closing.

The yellow halo around Gu Yue was flashing incessantly, and the fireball, propelled by the wind, became exceptionally fast, frantically striking all around, trying to find Chen Qiye.

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao were also watching the battle from the sidelines. This time, they were amazed by the real battle between peers, which was nothing compared to the previous small-scale fighting between Chen Qiye and Gu Yue.

As Chen Qiye disappeared, Gu Yue looked around warily. Then, a voice rang in her ears, "Looking for me?" Chen Qiye's voice sounded.

Gu Yue instinctively stepped back, and due to inertia, she ended up pressed against Chen Qiye's chest.

However, Gu Yue quickly realized what was happening and was about to raise her hand when Chen Qiye grabbed her hand from behind and whispered in her ear, "Admit defeat!"

"Give up? Impossible!"

Gu Yue felt the hot breath blowing on her ear and instantly turned into a steam engine, her face turning bright red. However, she had her own pride and naturally would not admit defeat.

"She still won't admit defeat?" Chen Qiye thought to himself, looking at Gu Yue's blushing face. 'This Silver Dragon King is too easily embarrassed!'

Suddenly, Chen Qiye seemed to be teasing the 'Silver Dragon King' Gu Yue, who was about to embrace him, for no apparent reason.

Then he looked at the girl in front of him, who was half a head shorter than him, with a mischievous grin.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, he picked the girl up in a princess carry. The onlookers were filled with admiration.

When Gu Yue was just picked up in Chen Qiye's arms, her mind went completely blank. Then she turned into a steam princess, her face turning as red as if blood had just been drawn.

She said to Chen Qiye, feeling ashamed and indignant, "I admit defeat, please put me down!"

Upon hearing the girl in his arms admit defeat, Chen Qiye immediately put her down.

Gu Yue, who had been put down, lowered her head, her face flushed, as if this could ease the tension of the previous scene, but it was clear that it wouldn't work.

Chen Qiye said to the person beside him, "I win..."

Just as Chen Qiye was about to show off his success, before he could react, he saw Gu Yue running towards the dormitory with a blush on her face.

"I hope I don't get to eat dragon claws tonight..." Chen Qiye thought to himself, watching Gu Yue's figure disappear into a black dot.

.........

That day, Shrek Academy was shrouded in a new legend: less than a day into the new semester, a male student was already harassing a female student…

.........

An hour later, everyone changed their clothes and returned to the classroom, feeling exhausted, and continued their lessons while sitting in their chairs.

Zhou Yi swiftly removed the nine students who did not meet the requirements, making the previously crowded classroom much more spacious. This tactic of making an example of them successfully intimidated the remaining students, who no longer dared to contradict her.

At Zhou Yi's request, everyone took turns introducing themselves. Chen Qiye had already introduced himself and was sitting at the back of the classroom, looking somewhat uninterested.

Beside him was Gu Yue, who wished he could kill him, making him afraid to even look in that direction.

When Huo Yuhao mentioned that he only had eleven levels of soul power, although some of the other students looked down on him, none of them dared to make sarcastic remarks due to pressure from Zhou Yi.

Chen Qiye offered a comforting remark as a gesture of goodwill: "Don't worry, as long as you keep working hard, you'll surpass them in no time."

Huo Yuhao nodded, his gaze hardening once more.

He didn't understand the second meaning in Chen Qiye's words, taking it only as a friend's words of comfort.

After everyone introduced themselves, Zhou Yi began the formal lesson.

Chen Qiye leaned on the table, bored, his mind wandering to other things.

Zhang Lexuan had already taught him all this knowledge, so he already knew it by heart.

Huo Yuhao, who was standing next to him, listened intently, looking eager to learn and frantically absorbing knowledge.

He was standing next to Wang Dong, or perhaps it was just his imagination, but Chen Qiye felt as if a gaze was fixed on him from the east, making him hesitant to turn left or right.

During the lunch break, Huo Yuhao was kept behind by Zhou Yi.

Chen Qiye originally wanted to try the grilled fish that Huo Yuhao made in the original novel, but that plan had to be scrapped.

After all, that was just one of the hundred steps he took to get ahead. The first step was meeting Tianmeng, his first time getting ahead; the second was joining the Tang Sect and learning the Xuan Tian Gong; the third was sharing a dormitory with his future wife; and the fourth was joining the Soul Guidance Department...

We had no choice but to settle for second best. If we couldn't have grilled fish, we could at least have some Mapo Tofu.

Chen Qiye nudged Gu Yue, who was about to leave, with his elbow.

Gu Yue turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?" For some reason, Gu Yue noticed that Chen Qiye's fair skin was flushed again, like the sunset.

Chen Qiye: "Gu Yue, how about I treat you to something to eat?"

"You're such a kind person?" Gu Yue seemed a little skeptical.

"Oh, isn't this an apology?"

"Oh well!"

You say Chen Qiye is afraid of Gu Yue's dragon claws, and he'll just say, "That's absolutely impossible!"

.........

After lunch, Chen Qiye came out, clutching his aching back, while Gu Yue covered her face as she left the cafeteria.
