A couple months quietly passes by, and it's been three months since Xiu Ye had enrolled in Eastsea City's Academy.
In this entire time period, Xiu Ye would busy himself with a routine. In the morning he would have breakfast, interact with Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue at a regular basis with simple conversations with each other, then after that, he would study the knowledge about Mecha and Battle Armor for the rest of the morning until lunch where he goes to the cafeteria to meet up with the trio and interact with them.
After eating lunch with them, Xiu Ye would go to his father's workshop to help/teach Mu Xi about some blacksmithing skills and finish his blacksmithing task simultaneously, this session continues until six pm where he goes back to the school to eat dinner, interact with the trio, and go back to the dorm to sleep/cultivate.
Everything was going well...
"Okay Xiu Ye, where's Tang Wulin?" Xie Xie, with a tray of breakfast food on hand, immediately questioned Xiu Ye the moment he had a tray of food on him as well.
They were currently standing by the side, next to a giant see-through glass window, Xiu Ye started munching on a bowl of nutritious Rainbow Siege Salad: it was a meal prepared with two year old plant type soul beasts. This meal would help strengthen the eater's body and vitality, albeit hardly noticeable.
Xiu Ye gulped a piece of the salad and let out a sigh, already expecting this situation. "Just wait for his return, he'll be back soon. He just has something very important to do."
Xie Xie's left eyebrow twitched. "That's the same excuse you've been telling me and others for the entire week. Seriously man, what's going on?"
Xiu Ye sighs once more and shook his head, "Just wait man, don't be such a worried girlfriend for the guy, he's fine."
Xie Xie grumbled and let out a sigh. "I'm not his girlfriend. I'm his friend and I'm worried, alright? It's been a week and it all started when I stabbed him with my martial soul-"
Xiu Ye nodded. "Again."
"Which he "requested", and it was just a tiny prick to his arm as well. So, I'm worried, you know?" Xie Xie let out a depressed sigh, munching on his first window meal which looked to be eggs and bacon.
"Hey, Xiu Ye." Gu Yue said as she arrives by Xiu Ye's side with a meal of her own in her hands.
"Hey, Gu Yue." Xiu Ye greeted back.
"Uh, what about me?" Xie Xie asks, pointing at himself with his right index finger.
Gu Yue spared him a millisecond of a glance filled with contempt and turned towards Xiu Ye.
"Hey, is everything ok? I haven't heard from Tang Wulin since three days ago. Is he in trouble?"
"Oi, don't ignore me." Xie Xie's left eyebrow twitched.
Xiu Ye waved off her concern and said. "As I told Xie Xie here, everything's alright. Tang Wulin is just busy with something that requires all his attention."
Gu Yue nodded and turned her attention to her breakfast and started eating it, still ignoring the second person besides Xiu Ye.
"..." Xie Xie wonders why does he even try to associate with the girl. Oh yeah, she's also friends with the only friends he knows in this entire school.
Xiu Ye stared at Gu Yue for a brief moment before continuing to eat his meal.
The familiar workshop of his foster father's came to Xiu Ye's view as he walks towards it with a slow and steady pace. He had finished breakfast a while ago and he decided to check up on Tang Wulin, who was in the workshop for the last seven days.
The reason why he was holed up in the building this entire time, was because he was unlocking the first Golden Dragon King bloodline seal and get a small pinch of its power for himself to use in the upcoming Class Promotion Tournament, which is still a couple of days away but he'll use that remaining time to familiarize with his new power to get a proper edge.
The tournament is a school event, which, yes Xiu Ye has to participate in, has a team of a class of students fighting against another team from a different class. This tournament consists of fights within different school years of students, which makes it only year one class one could only fight against a class within their year. But, if they win against the other classes then they can try fighting against higher year students.
It isn't only that as well, as the lower class(five) team that defeats the higher class(four) team can take their class name, which is why it's called Class Promotion Tournament.
Xiu Ye didn't really want to enter it, as it'll be quiet boring as fuck for him, just spectating from the side would be enough to say he participated in the school event. But his class teacher, Ye Yingluo, told him that he could be the only team member to participate in it and he just have to participate in one battle, the class tournament finals where the final class team that defeats class two would be his opponent.
And he knows who they are, in this entire year one students, there are only three students who stands above the rest in the class that wasn't class one.
Tang Wulin
Gu Yue
Xie Xie, probably...
Entering the building, Xiu Ye enters to hear small soundwaves and vibrations that echoes throughout the entire building. Like someone had punched some part of the building and this was the after effects for it.
Xiu Ye let out a sigh, shutting the doors of the workshop, he walked inside of it and headed towards the source of all these noise.
As walked through the first floor, Xiu Ye spotted the familiar figure of Tang Wulin, naked as the day he was born, and he was smiling like an idiot. But, it was clear to the naked eye that he had changed.
Firstly, his transformed right arm. The skin on his arm was replaced with triangle-shaped golden scales from his bicep to his fingertips, his fingers turned into a sharp deadly claw, looking both powerful and majestic as it is for a dragonic arm.
Next was his body, he looked to be a couple inches higher, skin more smooth and pristine, and his face somehow became even handsomer! Especially with the golden light in his pupils sometimes flickering, adding more to his charms!
Xiu Ye felt jealous on how good looking this bastard is.
Where's the justice in this world?!
Lastly, the aura around him felt strange. Normally, Tang Wulin would have a calm and naive aura surrounding him unless he uses his Blue Silver Grass Spear, that's when his aura turned sharp and unbending like he had became one with the spear. But this aura surrounding him, it felt a small pinch of the aura of Zaraki Kenpachi.
'God, this world does not need a guy like that here.' Xiu Ye groaned.
Looking at that right arm of Tang Wulin, Xiu Ye felt an inspiration hit him and decided to test it out later on.
But first, make this handsome exhibitionist wear clothes before he decides to take a picture and post him on soul net.
As Xiu Ye opened his mouth to say it, the doors to the workshop opened to reveal the figure of Mu Xi coming in running.
"Hey teacher, I heard that you were here–what the hell is going on here!?"
