She could already turn the tide of battle. Not to mention her newly evolved ten-thousand-year third soul skill, which didn't lose out to any offense-type Soul Master's ability.
She was practically a loli who could both fight and control.
After dinner, Gu You thought about many things. He realized it had been quite a while since he'd visited Feng Wuyu, and even longer since he'd picked up his forging hammer.
That evening, just as he returned and opened the door, he saw two familiar figures.
Gu Yue, Xie Xie.
"Hey, boss, you're back?" Xie Xie looked particularly worn out—sweaty, covered in dust, hair plastered to his forehead, and a pale face. He looked completely exhausted.
"What happened to you? What were you doing?" Gu You asked in confusion.
Xie Xie's eyes sparkled. "Secret!"
Gu You made a casual gesture, then chatted briefly and warmly with Gu Yue...
Xie Xie went over to the water pipe, washed his face clean, then dumped cold water over his head, clearly feeling refreshed and invigorated.
'Ah—this feels great! Getting beaten like this feels great!'
He didn't want to remember what he'd been through lately. Every single day had been...
Maybe it was because he'd run his mouth about someone's hair that day, but the past few days had felt like torture. Yet he was still excited, because he could clearly sense his own improvement. Even more thrilling, he had discovered that both his body and martial soul were treasure troves. As he continued training, those hidden treasures were slowly being unlocked.
He wasn't weak by nature—he simply hadn't understood the essence of his martial soul, or what it meant to be an agility-type Soul Master. That was why he hadn't been able to fully unleash his potential.
But under this recent training, he could feel his growth accelerating at an astounding pace.
Yuanen Yehui stood by the window, watching Xie Xie wash his head through the gap in the curtain.
She didn't even know why she'd come over upon hearing Gu You and Xie Xie talking. But she stood there, watching him.
What was that guy doing every day? Even she couldn't help but wonder.
…
The new school term began.
The opening ceremony was still as simple as ever. Six grades, six classes. Elder Cai said a few brief words and publicly praised the seventh-year students who had defeated the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. And just like that, the ceremony was over. Afterward, each homeroom teacher led their students back to class for a short briefing. That was all for the first day.
It was a full day of learning. In the afternoon, Gu You even went to see Feng Wuyu.
As always, their banter was chaotic yet familiar...
That was school life—ordinary, but full of rhythm.

Sea God's Pavilion.
All key members were present, and the mood was heavy.
"Evil soul masters have been getting bolder. Super Douluo-level evil soul masters have appeared again. This is now a matter that must be suppressed by force. The Federation has asked for our help in eliminating them. These people are elusive. We need to strengthen security in every city and deploy more military power for constant surveillance."
Yun Ming said, "Approve the Federation's request. Have inner court disciples assist in the evil soul master crackdown. Also, contact Tang Sect and mobilize our entire network to investigate their whereabouts. Report any findings immediately."
"Understood," all the elders responded in unison.
"Pavilion Master, there's one more matter. The Star Luo Continent's envoy group hopes we can send a delegation for an academic exchange. What's your opinion?" Elder Cai asked.
Yun Ming smiled. "Agree to it. Select outstanding first- and second-year outer court students. Cap it at ten people. Let Wu Zhangkong lead the team. The past two years' freshman classes have been excellent—especially Year One. Don't forget to include Gu You. The Star Luo Empire has had their eyes on him for a while now."
"Then it's settled. Yue'er, you're in charge of selecting the team."
"Yes." Cai Yue'er bowed and accepted the task.
They then began discussing further strategies for dealing with evil soul masters and a unified response plan.

On the main platform, Cai Yue'er surveyed the first-, second-, and third-year students below.
Today was a friendly competition. Just like the past first-year vs. second-year challenges, this time the format had changed—it was now a combined first- and second-year team versus the third-year class.
This challenge match drew attention from the entire outer court.
Normally, if you hadn't entered the inner court by the fourth year, your chances were slim. You'd have to finish your studies and graduate from Shrek Academy by becoming at least a one-word Battle Armor Master by sixth year. That would earn you a diploma. Of course, exceptions existed—some strong third- and fourth-year students would continue their studies in hopes of joining the inner court in sixth year. By then, they'd be eighteen years old and eligible to attend events like the Sea God Fate Gathering. Joining the inner court early wasn't always better; it came with harsher pressure and dangerous missions, even life-threatening ones.
So in many ways, the third year was considered the strongest year in the outer court. The most talented hadn't left yet. Those in the higher years were already in the inner court or undergoing trials to enter it.
It was rare to have such an exciting match. By lunchtime, the sparring arena was already packed with students and teachers.
Undoubtedly, the students in today's competition were those with the greatest hope of one day entering the inner court. They represented the strongest of the young generation.
Students from Class One of both first and second year had arrived early, eager to witness something legendary. The third-year students appeared much more relaxed. From a strength perspective, it was just a friendly match. No matter how you calculated it, there was no way first and second year could win.
But they had overlooked one thing: Gu You.
Maybe they had heard stories about him. But as peers, they wouldn't take it seriously. A teenage Soul Saint? Who would believe that?
Sure, powerful martial souls and outstanding talent could allow someone to challenge above their level—but there were limits. Facing one-word Battle Armor Masters, whose strength was massively boosted by their armor, victory was next to impossible.
The main platform wasn't just occupied by Cai Yue'er. Saint Spirit Douluo Yali was also present, along with many outer court teachers. From the inner court, Red Dragon Douluo and Blazing Dragon Douluo had also arrived.
"Is everyone ready?" Wu Zhangkong asked coldly, his face as expressionless as ever as he looked at the first- and second-year students standing before him.
"Ready!"
"First one-on-one match: Yuanen Yehui, you're up."
