"Classmate, want to compare?"
Wang Dong approached Ye Chen and winked at him.
"Sure."
Ye Chen turned his head and nodded slightly at Wang Dong.
It seemed charm and luck were at work again. He hadn't even planned to look for Wang Dong, but Wang Dong had come directly to him.
"Ah..."
Seeing Ye Chen's sunny smile, Wang Dong subconsciously covered her mouth, a strange look flashing in her eyes.
It was his first time seeing someone whose appearance could rival her male form. When did such a handsome guy come to the academy?
Yesterday, when Ye Chen displayed his might on the training ground, Wang Dong had already finished Zhou Yi's training task early and gone to the lounge to rest, so she had just missed it.
Thus, today was Wang Dong's first time seeing Ye Chen.
He was already a sucker for good looks, and combined with how Ye Chen seemed to perfectly capture his heart, her heart skipped half a beat for a moment.
Not only was Ye Chen handsome, but his voice also seemed very pleasant, and he looked very clever.
Compared to Huo Yuhao, that big, dull fool who only knew how to train diligently, Ye Chen completely overshadowed her in all aspects.
"Classmate, what's wrong?" Ye Chen asked, feigning concern.
"N-Nothing, let's begin."
Wang Dong quickly reined in her emotions, her eyes filled with fighting spirit!
Although she had just undergone combat training, she could tell that Ye Chen's class must have started their run much earlier.
Both of their stamina had been depleted quite a bit, but she didn't believe he would lose to the other party.
"Okay."
Ye Chen didn't say much more and suddenly accelerated.
Wang Dong instantly caught up, following closely behind Ye Chen.
Wang Dong was naturally competitive. Although her Soul level hadn't increased due to her laziness, her physique had been nourished by countless top-tier natural treasures since childhood. Her physical quality far surpassed her peers, and she didn't believe he would lose to the other party in this regard.
The two's speed was almost five or six times that of the others.
In a short moment, they completed 40 laps.
Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged, but Wang Dong was starting to feel a bit weak.
The faster the speed, the greater the stamina consumption. Even a Soul Master couldn't endure it.
"How can you be so enduring...?" Wang Dong ran alongside Ye Chen, looking at him with a hint of resentment.
Even if Ye Chen had more stamina than her at the start, there should have been some change after so many laps.
But the other party remained as before, which was too abnormal, wasn't it?
Although he could still continue, he wouldn't last much longer. If they kept comparing, she would surely lose.
"I'm stronger than you, so my stamina is naturally better," Ye Chen explained, slowly decreasing his speed.
"Hmph, that's not necessarily true," Wang Dong snorted, a proud look on her face.
Aside from accidentally losing to Huo Yuhao at the very beginning, she had never lost in a battle normally.
She admitted that Ye Chen's stamina was strong, but she absolutely didn't believe Ye Chen could surpass her in combat power.
"Oh? You didn't see my battle yesterday?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, asking curiously.
He remembered that the First Class was also there yesterday. Did Wang Dong not see him?
"Yesterday? What battle?"
Wang Dong looked bewildered, clearly unaware of what had happened.
However, She seemed to have thought of something and said in horror, "You, you, you... you're not that Soul Ancestor, are you!!!"
She seemed to recall that after he rested yesterday, She heard that a Soul Ancestor level transfer student had come to the Ninth Class, who single-handedly challenged more than half of the Ninth Class and won.
At the time, She was still skeptical about it.
After all, they were all roughly the same age, so how could anyone reach the Soul Ancestor stage at this age! That was too outrageous...
She hadn't expected to actually meet the person today.
Moreover, he had even dared to compete with a Soul Ancestor...
"Mm."
Ye Chen nodded, naturally not denying it.
His deeds had basically spread throughout all the new student classes, and there was nothing to hide.
"You, you, you... how on earth did you cultivate? We're roughly the same age, how could you cultivate so fast!!"
Wang Dong looked utterly shocked.
she racked her brains but couldn't figure out how Ye Chen had cultivated.
Even if she didn't slack off, at most he could only reach Soul Grandmaster, but Ye Chen was already a Soul Ancestor, directly surpassing him by more than ten levels!
Ye Chen glanced at Wang Dong, really wanting to say, 'I'm older than you.'
But She swallowed the teasing remark and said indifferently, "It's nothing much, just slightly better talent."
"Hmph, I have innate full Soul Power, how many levels do you have?" Wang Dong snorted softly, a hint of arrogance in his tone.
"Innate Level 20."
Ye Chen casually made up a number; it was all just to fool Wang Dong anyway.
"You... you're talking nonsense... how can there be innate Level 20 Soul Power? I've never even heard of it..." Wang Dong's face flushed, suspecting Ye Chen was just making things up.
"You've heard of it now. Otherwise, how could I be more than twenty levels above you?" Ye Chen looked at Wang Dong with a smile.
"I... I..."
Wang Dong's face turned red, clearly unable to refute.
She was naturally competitive, and having encountered such a situation since childhood in her sect, she naturally felt an indescribable sense of frustration.
She had inherited the best bloodlines from his father and mother, yet now she was defeated by an ordinary Soul Master.
This made her quite unwilling.
Ye Chen looked at Wang Dong, seemingly having thought of something, and so he directly activated the Sign-in System.
The rewards from signing in would change based on his location and the target beside him. Each time was different, but each time was very useful.
Last time he encountered Huo Yuhao and signed in, it caused Ye Chen's spiritual power to surge.
Now encountering Wang Dong, Ye Chen wondered what good stuff he could get.
[Sign-in successful, rewarding Divine-level Talent 'Resonance']
[Resonance: Activate 'Resonance' to bind a target. When both parties cultivate simultaneously, the minimum improvement is 10 times. The higher the intimacy, the stronger the improvement, up to 1000 times. Effective range is within a one-meter radius of oneself; when cultivation time reaches a certain extent, there is a probability of producing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill...]
"As expected of the daughter of a God King, this reward is good." Ye Chen looked at Wang Dong with some surprise.
He inexplicably found this pink and blue-haired ghost fire youth particularly pleasing to the eye.
Hmm, if she changed back to her original appearance and put on a skirt and white stockings, that would be even better.
"Mmm... why are you staring at me...?"
Wang Dong seemed to notice Ye Chen's gaze and felt a strange sensation, as if something was tickling her.
Ye Chen felt that there might be an opportunity, so he changed the subject, saying, "Alright, I was just lying to you. Actually, my innate Soul Power is only Level 2."
"What, innate Soul Power Level 2? How is that possible!" Wang Dong was immediately incredulous upon hearing this.
If he had said innate Soul Power Level 20, there would still be a slight bit of credibility.
But if he said innate Soul Power Level 2, yet cultivated to this level at this age, then it would be even more fantastical; it was almost an impossible feat.
Wang Dong would rather believe the former.
Because the former would sufficiently explain Ye Chen's heaven-defying talent, making it normal for him to surpass her.
But if Ye Chen had innate Soul Power Level 2 and had now cultivated to Soul Ancestor.
Then what was She, with innate full Soul Power, only at Level 24 now?
Wouldn't that make her seem useless?
Seeing Wang Dong take the bait, Ye Chen unhurriedly said, "The reason I cultivate so fast is actually because I have a method. Do you want to know?"
PS: Regarding Tang San, Tang San would at most slightly interfere with Wang Dong. Tang San would not harm the protagonist just because the protagonist interacts with Wang Dong. The other Four God Kings are not pushovers, okay?
In the Valley of Love and Emotion, Tang San also used the God of Love to bend the rules, one could say he was testing his future son-in-law, and the other God Kings also turned a blind eye.
The deities of Douluo Continent are not omnipotent. A max-level Tang San could even be injured by Huo Yuhao, who had just become a god. Deities are just a higher realm, not omnipotent like 'gods' in reality. They are just sewer deities, they don't have that much power.
