"Who said your Forging Master rank was low? It's strong, too strong!"
Xie Xie's face showed a speechless expression, and then he couldn't help but sigh.
Nine years old, a Class 3 Forging Master!
He still hadn't even planned his second profession, yet the other party had already become a vibrant Class 3, able to be called a "Forging Grandmaster." Was this the difference?
"You really don't know."
"Just how heaven-defying are you?!"
Xie Xie couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's alright."
Tang Wulin shook his head, unimpressed.
"Brother is only one rank stronger than me. If you think I'm not good enough, finding him would also be a good choice…"
He blinked, speaking frankly.
"One Class 3, one Class 4…"
Xie Xie said, his heart in shock.
What kind of genius brothers were these? Even if their achievements as Spirit Masters wouldn't be incredibly powerful, with such heaven-defying abilities, they would surely reach the peak of the continent in the future.
"Moreover…"
"Leaving Wu Lin aside for now, Tang Luochuan looks…"
"He has the demeanor of a powerful individual."
"Luo Chuan, you're back."
On the other side, as soon as Tang Luochuan returned to the dormitory, Zhang Yangzi greeted him with a smile. Beside him, a green-haired boy with a somewhat indifferent expression was curiously looking at him.
Wei Xiaofeng, he had an impression of him. Apparently, in the original work, he was the one whose bones were broken by Xie Xie after he broke through to Spirit Grandmaster.
"Hello…"
"Luo Chuan, my name is Wei Xiaofeng. My Spirit is Azure Shadow Snake, and I am a Rank 21 Spirit Grandmaster. Please guide me in the future."
Wei Xiaofeng said with a smile, a little excited.
Clearly, he had also learned from the other two roommates what kind of genius the person in front of him was; his cultivation was a full seven ranks higher than his!
"…"
Tang Luochuan was a little exasperated for a moment, and he couldn't help but sigh internally: these roommates were perhaps a little too easy to get along with.
As geniuses, they were indeed not lacking in other aspects either.
"Oh, by the way, Boss, the class assignments are out. We're all in Class One…"
"The best class."
Zhang Yangzi's face was filled with joyful smiles.
"Our homeroom teacher…"
"Will definitely be the most formidable one in the Academy!"
He was, of course, not at all surprised about entering the best class. After all, with their talent, it would be problematic if they were in any other class.
The point that made him happy was Wu Changkong.
That aloof male god!
"Hmm…"
"He definitely will be."
Tang Luochuan smiled and nodded at the words, but he wasn't particularly concerned about it, because he knew that Wu Changkong would not be their homeroom teacher.
Instead, he would lead the worst first-year Class Five, which was Wu Lin's class. This point should not change.
"Oh, right."
"That teacher mentioned earlier that besides the four of us, there's another girl in our class who is also a Spirit Grandmaster."
"I wonder what her Spirit will be."
Zhang Yangzi muttered curiously, originally thinking it would only be the four of them, but unexpectedly there was another expert.
"A girl?"
Hearing this, Wei Xiaofeng also became interested. Of course, the most thoughtful one among them had to be Tang Luochuan.
Did the original Donghai Academy have such a person?
If so, it would be impossible for her not to appear in the later Zero Class, as this talent was truly remarkable.
Like Gu Yue, in the original work, she seemed to be only Rank 16 when she first appeared, and Xu Xiaoyan was only a Spirit Master at ten years old.
"Boss must be shocked too, right?"
"I really want to know what she's like… We'll find out this afternoon when we report."
Zhang Yangzi said directly.
"Yes."
"We'll find out then."
Tang Luochuan nodded.
"I'm going to eat with my younger brother in a bit. Yang Zi, do you guys want to come along?"
"Huh? Of course."
Zhang Yangzi and the other two agreed.
There was no harm in getting to know more classmates, let alone the younger brother of the person in front of them. How could they refuse?
"…"
"Brother, I'm here."
Soon after, in dormitory 123, Tang Wulin's figure had already arrived, and beside him, there was a somewhat helpless Xie Xie.
"Wu Lin and Xie Xie are both here."
Looking at the two, Tang Luochuan immediately smiled.
"Yang Zi, Jinxi, Xiao Feng, this is my younger brother Wu Lin, and my friend Xie Xie."
"These three are my roommates…"
Then, he introduced the two groups to each other, getting to know one another, and together they walked towards the school cafeteria, planning to finish lunch before reporting in the afternoon.
Donghai Academy's cafeteria was not far from the dormitory building, and it was also very close to the teaching building, greatly considering the convenience of the students.
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, different counters came into view. The food here was divided into three grades: A, B, and C.
The C-grade counter had the most people, the reason being simple: it was free. As long as you could eat it, you wouldn't be charged a single federal currency, even if you ate all day.
B-grade cost 300 federal currency, while A-grade was 1000 federal currency. Similarly, the latter two also offered increasingly better ingredients. As for C-grade, it only had the simplest food.
Because their family conditions were all quite good, and it was their first meal, everyone chose the most abundant A-grade meal.
"Hmm…"
"It smells good."
Tang Wulin's eyes sparkled as he tasted the Phoenix Turtle Egg in his hand, murmuring.
For a moment, he felt an endless stream of energy pouring into his body. Though small, the feeling was real.
The only downside was…
He didn't seem to get full from eating this!
And one A-grade meal cost a thousand federal currency. His small savings couldn't withstand such extravagant spending. Alas…
Therefore, after finishing this portion, still hungry, he had no choice but to go to the free counter next door and get ten steamed buns, which he easily ate one by one.
"Hmm?"
"Wu Lin can eat that much?"
Looking at the scene before them, Xie Xie and the others couldn't help but show a hint of shock. The nutritional quality of the A-grade meal was very high; even for them as Spirit Masters, eating one portion would be beneficial, and getting full was certainly not a problem.
And they hadn't even finished their meals yet…
Wu Lin had not only finished but was still hungry!?
"Hahaha…"
"I do eat a bit more."
Tang Wulin said, a little embarrassed.
"Wu Lin eating more can be converted into strength, so his appetite is a bit larger. This is also his talent."
"It's a good thing."
Tang Luochuan smiled slightly and explained.
"I see."
"No wonder Wu Lin isn't fat at all!"
Wang Jinxi suddenly understood, and the image of Tang Luochuan releasing his Spirit earlier flashed in his mind. Although Wu Lin didn't inherit the dragon-type Spirit, he also had considerable talent.
"Yes."
Tang Luochuan replied with a smile, and soon, his gaze was drawn to a girl at the A-grade counter not far away. Her profile was very beautiful.
As if sensing his gaze, she looked towards him, a faint smile on her face.
"Quite a pretty girl."
Tang Luochuan returned a smile, thinking to himself. But he always felt some connection to her; what was that about?
While he was pondering, she had already sat down at a table not far away, her faint smile undiminished, but a thoughtful expression on her face.
"So that's Tang Luochuan. He seems quite interesting, but…"
"A human…"
"How on earth does he possess his bloodline?!"
