Outside the door, Lin Feng snapped out of his surprise and glanced through the window into the classroom.
Spacious, bright, with a noble and elegant décor—the interior was striking. Even the desks and chairs were made from premium red sandalwood.
Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly again.
So this is what a noble academy looks like. Filthy rich.
Qin Ming walked in with the air of someone important, and the smile never left his face as he reached the podium.
"Class, today I'm introducing a new student."
He turned and gestured toward the door.
Lin Feng strode to the front, casually glancing over the students below.
Most of them only had green-tier traits. Aside from Dugu Yan, only one student possessed a purple-tier trait—an innate soul power of Rank 8.
"The guy who beat Yu Tianheng earlier?"
"Yeah, that's him. I recognize that face."
"Yu Tianheng got beaten up? What happened?"
"He's supposedly a Soul Elder at age twelve?"
"So what? Half the students here are Soul Elders. What matters is background and status."
As soon as the crowd got a clear look at Lin Feng's face, whispers burst through the room.
"Hi everyone, I'm Lin Feng."
"Happy to be your classmate."
He offered a simple self-introduction and looked back toward Qin Ming.
Innate Soul Power: Rank 9
Martial Soul: Inferno Grey Wolf (Top-tier)
Traits: [Fate's Blessing (Green)], [Exceptional Talent (Purple)]
It had only been two months, and Qin Ming had already broken through to Soul King.
[Fate's Blessing] — You follow a Child of Destiny, receive their protection, and gain increased fortune.
Well, that makes sense. He's part of the protagonist team. Probably a standard trait for plot-critical characters.
Qin Ming looked out over the room, thinking about where to seat Lin Feng.
"Teacher, let him sit by me!" Dugu Yan suddenly raised her hand without hesitation.
Naturally, Qin Ming was aware of their relationship, so he nodded in approval.
Lin Feng casually strolled over and sat beside her, resting his hand naturally on her thigh, clad in tight leather pants.
A number of male students stared, teeth clenched, burning with jealousy.
"Today's topic is how to deal with airborne-type soul masters…"
The small incident passed, and Qin Ming began his lecture with enthusiasm.
"Hey, Lin Feng… stop moving your hand around. Wait till tonight."
Dugu Yan grabbed his wandering hand, her voice tender and tinged with a teasing heat.
Lin Feng relented with a small chuckle and turned his focus to the board.
Meanwhile, in Reaching Heaven Class Two…
Yu Tianheng, his face bruised and swollen, sat in the front row.
"Ye Lingling, please help heal Yu Tianheng, will you?"
"He looks awful. Clearly the earlier treatment didn't finish the job," the teacher said upon entering the room.
"I'm not healing him. Let someone else do it," Ye Lingling replied flatly, her pout unmistakable.
Part of it was frustration at Yu Tianheng's arrogance—and part of it was bitterness.
Why hasn't Lin Feng been as affectionate with me as he is with Dugu Yan?
The teacher looked puzzled.
What's going on between these two?
Some students in the class, aware of the drama, stifled laughter while eyeing Yu Tianheng's misfortune.
"She's just afraid that if I recover, I'll surpass Lin Feng of Heaven Dou Class."
"Using little tricks like delaying my treatment to sabotage my cultivation speed... Only losers would stoop that low."
"I, Yu Tianheng, a true heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, would never do such petty things."
He sneered as he spoke, glaring at Ye Lingling and the class while covering his bruises with one hand.
His sudden outburst stunned both teacher and classmates.
"Is that really the same quiet Yu Tianheng?"
"Didn't he used to act all cold and aloof?"
"You didn't see him on the mountain earlier today. He was spitting out sarcasm like a machine gun."
"He totally triggered that Lin Feng guy—and got beat up for it."
Some of the troublemaking students at the back snickered among themselves.
"I think Yu Tianheng's kind of hot, actually. He's totally my type."
"Yeah, not like some people who can only resort to underhanded tricks."
"Our Tianheng's got real backbone. What's so special about that Dugu Yan anyway?"
Several of Yu Tianheng's fangirls jumped to defend him.
Ye Lingling's face darkened with rage.
These brainless fans were just fanning the flames.
"You think I'm scared of you? You, surpass Lin Feng? Dream on!"
She stepped forward and activated her soul power, casting a gentle silver glow over Yu Tianheng's body.
Nine-Hearted Begonia.
The glow faded, leaving his wounds fully healed.
"There. Now you're healed. Let's see how you plan to catch up to Lin Feng."
She turned on her heel, storming back to her seat.
Yu Tianheng didn't even thank her. Instead, he wore a look of scorn.
What an idiot. All it took was a few jabs and she healed me?
I used to grit my teeth and wait till class ended to find a teacher, just to save face. What a waste.
Sometimes, you just can't care too much about pride.
He nodded to himself, fully convinced of his own cleverness.
The bell signaled the end of class.
"Lin Feng, come with me!"
Dugu Yan grabbed his hand, full of energy.
"Where are we going?"
Lin Feng was feeling a bit worn out after the class.
"To the training hall, obviously! We're both members of the preparatory team. Qin Ming already told me before you arrived."
"We don't have to attend second period. We go straight to training."
Without waiting for his reply, she tugged him toward the training room.
Heaven Dou Academy Preparatory Team Training Hall
A boy among four students called out cheerfully as they arrived.
Dugu Yan replied playfully.
"Oh, right—let me introduce you."
"Lin Feng, this is our senior—Xue Qinghe."
She turned with a smile.
