Looking at Gu Yue Na sitting beside him, Ao Tian frowned and said, "Aren't there three empty beds over there? Why are you squeezing in here?"
Before Gu Yue Na could speak, Xiao Wu chimed in, "Sister Na wants to sleep with me, is that a problem? Are you afraid we'll r*pe you?"
Xiao Wu's bold words immediately stunned all the boys in the dormitory.
Ao Tian pointed to where Gu Yue Na was sitting and said, "Since you're sharing a bed, she's already crossed the line."
Xiao Wu stuck her tongue out at Ao Tian and said, "I've never seen such a stingy guy."
Gu Yue Na shifted closer to Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, don't say that about Ao... Tian."
Tang San, who was across from them, couldn't stand it anymore. He had always told himself that Ao Tian was just a child, and that looks and money were fleeting, but now, he actually felt a hint of jealousy towards Ao Tian.
Why did he have to be born with a golden key, blessed with looks and cultivation talent? Why… was he so indifferent to that ethereal, fairy-like girl?
That sliver of jealousy flashed through him, quickly suppressed. He understood that it was wrong to envy a child; it would affect his state of mind and his cultivation.
Tang San stood up and walked to the foot of Ao Tian's bed, looking at Ao Tian who was sitting against the headboard. "Ao Tian, a year ago, you bet with my Master. The bet was that if my Master won, you would have to become his disciple. If you won, my Master would have to admit his theory had flaws. I've already spoken with my Master, and we'll have the battle this afternoon."
Ao Tian said, "Do as you decide."
Whispers and excited chatter filled the dorm room.
"I heard Tang San has already reached level sixteen, rising six levels in a year. He's a peerless genius!"
"Damn, is Tang San that amazing? I wish I'd gotten on better terms with him last semester."
"He's that strong. With this talent, there probably aren't many like him on the Douluo Continent."
"..."
Listening to the other students' discussions, Tang San's lips curled slightly. In fact, after he absorbed his soul ring, he'd jumped directly from level ten to level thirteen. However, only Master Matthew Nuo from Spirit Hall, his teacher, and he knew about this.
So, in the eyes of others, he had cultivated from level ten to level sixteen in a year, which could scare many people to death.
Tang San looked at Ao Tian's face, wanting to see his reaction. However, he was disappointed; Ao Tian's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even glance at him.
Tang San then looked at Gu Yue Na, who wasn't far from Ao Tian, hoping to see if this girl, who seemed to care about nothing, would be surprised after hearing about his talent.
However, he saw the girl glaring at him with a murderous expression.
Gu Yue Na said coldly, "Who is your teacher?"
Tang San felt a cold aura wash over him; the weather seemed to instantly plunge into winter, and his body couldn't help but shiver.
He was somewhat puzzled, but he still replied, "Everyone calls my teacher Master."
Gu Yue Na's voice was icy. "What kind of bullshit Master is worthy of being Ao Tian's teacher? I'll go kill him right now."
With that, she stood up, preparing to get out of bed.
In her view, wanting to take Senior Ao as a disciple was simply an insult to him, and she wouldn't tolerate it!
Tang San was suddenly perplexed. You say he's not worthy, then he's not worthy, fine. But why do you want to kill my teacher? Besides, you're just a little girl, can you even kill a Level 29 Soul Grand Master?
At that moment, he was suddenly a little disappointed in Gu Yue Na. This girl was beautiful, and her temperament was unparalleled, but she was arrogant and looked down on others.
Hmm… her personality is similar to Ao Tian's, Tang San thought.
Seeing Gu Yue Na rise with killing intent, Ao Tian said calmly, "Sit down."
Gu Yue Na, who had just been about to get out of bed, stopped and turned her head, saying, "That person isn't worthy of being your teacher."
"I know."
"Then why are you still..."
Ao Tian said helplessly, "You don't need to worry about this."
"Oh." Gu Yue Na obediently sat back down. Since Senior Ao had said so, she guessed that the person called Master must have something extraordinary about him. That's why Senior Ao would bet with him.
Tang San stood there, once again feeling the pain of being ignored. He turned around in anger and left the dormitory.
Rather than getting angry with a few little kids here, it would be better to go to his teacher and read more books to increase his theoretical knowledge.
When the afternoon came, he would see what progress Ao Tian had made...
Seeing Tang San leave, Ao Tian shook his head and smiled. Then, he looked at Gu Yue Na and asked, "How did you meet Tang San?"
"Tang San? Which one is that?" Gu Yue Na asked, a look of confusion on her face.
Xiao Wu quickly answered, "The one who was just talking. Didn't he introduce himself when he brought you here?"
Gu Yue Na thought for a moment, then said, "I think he did, but I didn't pay attention. He's just a minor character. He's not worthy of me remembering his name."
Ao Tian was a little amused. The Dragon King really didn't mince words. It was a good thing Tang San wasn't here, or he would have been furious.
Ao Tian said, "He is indeed a small character now, but without me, he will grow into someone even you will need to fear."
Gu Yue Na was stunned for a moment. "Is his talent that good?"
Ao Tian nodded. "Enough to become someone like the Asura God."
"Asura God!" Killing intent flashed across Gu Yue Na's pretty face. The Dragon God had been split open by the Asura God's sword back then, and then the soul beasts had been defeated…
Gu Yue Na stood up abruptly.
"Where are you going?" Ao Tian asked.
"To kill that Tang San."
"..." Xiao Wu.
"You're not going," Ao Tian said.
"Why?" Gu Yue Na was puzzled. Such a great threat should be eliminated as soon as possible, shouldn't it?
"Because I'm here."
"I understand." Gu Yue Na sat back down. She realized she was being too hasty out of concern. With Senior Ao around, what was there to worry about?
The other boys in the dorm, watching Gu Yue Na's sudden movements and her crazy talk, were all a little disappointed. They wondered if this pretty girl had something wrong with her head.
"Oh, right." Ao Tian suddenly thought of a question and asked, "How did you get into Notting Academy? You need a Martial Soul certificate and a work-study student position to get in, right?"
Gu Yue Na glanced at the others in the dormitory, looking a little guilty. She whispered, "Xiao Wu came up with the idea. She helped me sneak into Spirit Hall and forged some documents."
Ao Tian looked at Xiao Wu. "Well, well, Xiao Wu. You took the Dragon King on a heist, and at Spirit Hall, no less... Doing something like that? You've got some nerve. What can't you do?"
"I..." Xiao Wu started to argue, but when she saw Ao Tian's expression, she deflated. "I was wrong. Punish me."
Gu Yue Na said, "Xiao Wu, you did nothing wrong. If you hadn't taught me these things, we would have starved on the road long ago. I wouldn't be here, able to be with Ao... Tian."
"Really, Na-er?" Xiao Wu asked, looking at Gu Yue Na innocently.
"Really," Gu Yue Na nodded solemnly.
...Ao Tian.
These two women were hopeless...
