Chapter 69: Huo Yuhao's Class Assignment Was Far From Ideal (Requesting Subscriptions)

In the days that followed, Lin Yun's life returned to tranquility.

As he had no expertise in this area and Electrolux seemed to be conducting deep research without providing any updates, he could only cultivate at night, bask in the sun during the day, and occasionally tease the little loli.

He also had to deal with a certain young heiress.

Admittedly, in terms of status, Ning Tian far surpassed Xiao Xiao. Though Xiao Xiao was also the young lady of an aristocratic family, she paled in comparison to Ning Tian, the young mistress of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

Ning Tian had been trained by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan since childhood. Moreover, as a female young clan head, learning how to find a reliable partner became a mandatory subject.

Thus, the little girl somehow became inseparable friends with Ning Tian, and their bond deepened daily.

Eventually, even when Ning Tian came to chat with Lin Yun, Xiao Xiao no longer minded. The three could even laugh and talk together.

Except for one unlucky soul.

Wu Feng gritted her teeth so hard they nearly shattered. If not for being utterly suppressed by Lin Yun in martial spirit and bloodline—leaving no room for resistance—she would have jumped up to kick his knees long ago.

The rest of Class 8 could only seethe in silent indignation.

Ning Tian was nearly flawless in appearance, temperament, talent, background, and personality—universally recognized as the class goddess.

Some in Class 8 even considered her the true number one goddess of the outer court, far surpassing Tang Ya or Jiang Nannan.

Those interested in Ning Tian were by no means few.

Before Lin Yun arrived in Class 8, things had been tolerable. Though Ning Tian had Wu Feng as a protective escort and remained cold toward everyone, they still held a sliver of hope.

But after Lin Yun's arrival, Ning Tian came close to openly confessing to him, clinging to his side at every opportunity.

The unlucky souls of Class 8 simmered with jealousy, bitterness dripping from their mouths.

Flanked by Xiao Xiao on the left and Ning Tian on the right—embraced by both.

You truly deserve to die!

Why did Class 8 have to have this monstrosity airdropped into their midst!

Unlike Lin Yun, Huo Yuhao's class assignment was disastrous. Not only was he placed in the same class as Wang Dong, with whom he'd constantly clashed since school started, but it was also New Student Class Four.

Previously, this class had been New Student Class Five—and it housed one of the three original Soul Masters from the new students...

Dai Huabin...

Yes, that very Dai Huabin—the root cause of Huo Yuhao's deep-seated resentment.

One can imagine how wretched Huo Yuhao felt upon entering Class Four.

Dai Huabin, however, was unfazed. Upon hearing from the class advisor that Huo Yuhao was merely a special admission candidate with soul power below level fifteen, he dismissed him as a nobody. Among the hundred-plus students in Class Four, Dai Huabin acknowledged few—let alone Huo Yuhao.

But his mere presence was a source of pressure for Huo Yuhao. His face seemed to mock Huo Yuhao at every moment, sending his blood pressure skyrocketing.

Not quite friends with Wang Dong, his only close companion Lin Yun assigned to Class Eight, and Electrolux absent from his spiritual sea alongside Tian Meng—Huo Yuhao descended into silent frenzy.

Even without Zhou Yi, he imposed a training regimen of desperate intensity upon himself. Daily极限锻炼 pushed him to the brink of death, leaving him crawling back to the dormitory.

This was only possible thanks to Tian Meng the Ice Worm residing in his mind—a living power bank.

Though Tian Meng couldn't guide Huo Yuhao's mindset like Electrolux, his million-year essence activated under Huo Yuhao's near-self-destructive training.

It not only restored Huo Yuhao's condition rapidly each day but also nourished and strengthened his body during the recovery process—widening his meridians and enhancing his innate talents.

Naturally, Huo Yuhao's soul power level gradually rose through this. On the Douluo Continent, while effort couldn't match talent, it still held some value.

The sole drawback was sheer exhaustion—ordinary people couldn't possibly endure it.

Take Wang Dong, for instance. He couldn't stick with it at all.

Before class assignments, being in the same class as Lin Yun had filled him with urgency. He'd obsessed daily about how to catch up. But after the separation—no longer seeing Lin Yun—he lost all motivation entirely.

As for Dai Huabin?

What chickens and dogs? Your ancestor grovels at my father's feet—what kind of insignificant worm are you, Dai Huabin?

Besides, I've been grinding for a whole month. Can't I take a break now?

I'm done!

And so, Wang Dong reverted to his old habits—eating, playing, and cultivating sporadically, fishing for three days and drying nets for two.

This strange yet tranquil life passed for another month, with the new student assessment drawing nearer.

In the faculty office, Mu Jin stared at the two files before her, deeply conflicted.

The left file contained basic information on Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao; the right held Ning Tian and Wu Feng's details.

As one of the new student class advisors, Mu Jin naturally wanted her class to win the final new student championship. But forming teams had become her biggest headache lately.

After over a month of observation, Mu Jin realized Lin Yun barely interacted with anyone in Class 8—whether due to a genius's arrogance or sheer disinterest in socializing.

His only close relationships were with Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian.

Teaming these three would guarantee victory in the assessment. But Wu Feng, who'd been inseparable from Ning Tian since enrollment, posed a problem.

Given Wu Feng's possessive nature, Mu Jin could already imagine her explosive reaction upon learning she wasn't grouped with Ning Tian.

"What a headache... Why must it be pairs?" Mu Jin tapped her throbbing temple.

"Forget it. Let them decide themselves."

The next day.

After classes ended, Mu Jin stood at the podium and announced with a smile, "That concludes today's lessons. Everyone else is dismissed. Lin Yun, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng—please stay. I need to speak with you."

"Goodbye, Teacher~" *N

By the back window, Lin Yun stretched, the golden glow in his eyes fading to normal.

After over a month of continuous practice, he'd grown more adept at absorbing solar energy. His Golden Dragon King bloodline felt increasingly active, and his soul power had reached the peak of level thirty-seven.

He might break through to level thirty-eight soon.

"What does Teacher Mu want with us?" Xiao Xiao whispered, leaning closer.

"How would I know? Let's go see."
