Gu Yue Na had already arrived, and her gaze quickly honed in on Tang Wulin, who was walking behind Duan Jingliang. Her blood stirred slightly at the familiar sensation.
"Dragon bloodline… such a familiar feeling," Gu Yue Na murmured, carefully sensing the dragon aura.
As she focused on Tang Wulin, he instinctively felt something too and turned his eyes toward her direction.
Their gazes met. Gu Yue Na furrowed her brows, while Tang Wulin froze for a moment, unable to help but admire her beauty.
At the same time, his bloodline stirred as well. He initially thought it was just the sight of a beautiful woman causing it, so he quickly turned his head away, feeling his face heat up.
Even after looking away, he couldn't resist glancing back a few times. Every glance was fleeting, like lightning, as if afraid she would notice him staring.
"Boss, you didn't happen to see some beauty, did you?" A boy of similar height put his arm around Tang Wulin's shoulder, teasing while following his line of sight.
Among those glaring at the Shrek group, there were many. Gu Yue Na was hidden among them, and without careful observation, she was hard to notice.
Xie Xie took a quick look, saw only unfriendly students, and immediately looked away, afraid of getting beaten.
"Nothing, I just thought someone looked familiar, maybe a friend, but it wasn't," Tang Wulin made up an excuse.
Because of Xie Xie's presence, he resisted the urge to look back and followed Duan Jingliang into the elevator.
Gu Yue Na didn't follow but stayed behind, lost in thought. The fact that this person's bloodline could resonate with hers… this…
"Golden Dragon King bloodline?" After some contemplation, Gu Yue Na arrived at a conclusion that made her heart race.
Though it seemed incredible, the stirring of her blood told her it was true.
Nothing other than the Golden Dragon King's bloodline could cause the Silver Dragon King's bloodline to stir like this.
Thinking this, she quickly moved to an empty corner and made a call.
"Di Tian, come to Sun-Moon Royal Academy immediately."
Ten minutes later, inside her private lab with doors and windows shut, Di Tian stood before her.
"Miss, are you serious?" Di Tian asked, both excited and shocked. The words Golden Dragon King had a huge impact on him.
"My sensing is not wrong. That student from Shrek Academy definitely carries the Golden Dragon King bloodline," Gu Yue Na said seriously.
When she mentioned the Golden Dragon King bloodline, a hint of fervor flashed in her eyes. If she could absorb and merge that bloodline, she…
Just thinking about it made her heart race uncontrollably, leaving her a bit dry-mouthed.
"Miss, tell me what he looks like, and I'll capture him immediately," Di Tian urged impatiently.
"No rush. He's still in the academy. There are too many people and eyes around, so it's not convenient for you to act. Also, he's from Shrek Academy, so it's a delicate matter. I need to consult Yun Ze first," Gu Yue Na stopped him.
Di Tian frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Miss, you rely too much on the young master. After all, he is an outsider, we…"
He was interrupted mid-sentence by Gu Yue Na's firm voice. Her cold gaze exuded a strong draconic aura.
"Di Tian, if you still obey my orders, don't ever say such things again. I don't want to hear it, and I won't listen. It is my right to ask whoever's opinion I choose. Don't think that because my strength is low, you can boss me around."
"Of course not!" Di Tian felt extremely uneasy under the draconic pressure, immediately bowing respectfully, words full of reverence.
Gu Yue Na looked coldly at him. "Good. If you dare to call Yun Ze an outsider again after I regain my full strength, don't blame me for settling the score later."
Di Tian's body trembled slightly, fear flashing in his eyes.
…
After arranging Tang Wulin and the other four in a lounge, Duan Jingliang went to find Dean Xu Lin.
Inside the dean's office, the Discipline Director and several vice-deans were seated on the sofas, their expressions grim.
"Shrek Academy really has no regard for Sun-Moon Royal Academy. How dare they openly provoke us!" one vice-dean angrily said.
Having heard the words earlier, the thought of being challenged by a group of teenagers filled him with rage.
"What good is shouting here? Hurry up and think about which students to send to respond. If we lose, that would be humiliating," an old lady snapped.
The Discipline Director spoke at the right moment: "They're all around fourteen years old."
"Then send fourteen-year-old students to respond. If they're older, even if they win, it would invite criticism."
"I suggest sending Kuang Zhan Tian, Jian Mochen, Weng Daimin, Xue Liu Shuang, and Gu Yue Na. Two Twin Soul Fusion techniques, plus Gu Yue Na's astonishing combat power, Shrek Academy's students won't stand a chance," the deputy director suggested.
Everyone present knew about the Twin Soul Fusion technique and approved of this lineup.
Just as the group was about to finalize the decision, Dean Xu Lin spoke: "I don't think this lineup winning would be very meaningful."
"Not meaningful?" The others looked at him in confusion. Seeing his mischievous smile, they realized the old man was up to something.
The dean sipped his tea slowly: "First, this battle shouldn't be without an audience. I plan to let all the teachers and students watch."
"Invite some outsiders as well, fill the Sun-Moon Grand Stadium with spectators, and let over a hundred thousand people witness this battle together."
"Also, contact major livestream platforms. I want the whole Federation to see this match. The headline will be: Shrek Academy's Rudeness Provokes Sun-Moon Royal Academy, Furious Response by the Academy, Six-Year-Old Students Brutally Defeat Them Live."
Hearing this, the people present exchanged awkward looks. One vice-dean said: "Livestreaming is fine, and a long title is acceptable, but six-year-old students defeating them—this seems over the top. We can't replace Gu Yue Na, who has combat power, with six-year-olds just to humiliate Shrek. If they lose, it will be extremely embarrassing."
"Yes, we can't be overconfident. Those five are from Shrek Academy; their strength can't be underestimated. We must be careful," others agreed.
"I'm not overconfident. Have you forgotten about Yun Ze?" Xu Lin said calmly.
Everyone paused and then their eyes brightened. One clapped and cheered: "Right! How could we forget Yun Ze?"
"When he was Level 22, he could defeat Dragon Chen of the Soul Sect. Now at Level 28, his power is even greater. Handling Soul Sect members should be no problem."
