Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 164 Ye Xinglan Reunited

Gu You laughed because everyone was ready. Seven people were just right; there was no need to find any unnecessary people.

Gu You's initial impression of Ye Xinglan was not good, but after that apology, he seemed to have shed that arrogant young lady's personality.

No matter who it is, after going through some trials and tribulations, they will eventually shed their arrogance and become more composed.

"Everyone, please be quiet," Shen Yi said.

The class quickly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Yi.

"We're welcoming two new transfer students to our class. Let me introduce them to you. This is Ye Xinglan, a power-attack type battle spirit master, and the other is Xu Lizhi, a food-type weapon spirit master. Please welcome them."

A few scattered claps rang out, and Gu You clearly heard someone behind him muttering discontentedly, "When did Shrek Academy become so lenient? They can even let transfer students join. That's really bizarre!"

Xu Lizhi's obese figure was the most eye-catching, and Ye Xinglan had also changed a lot in the past few years.

When they first met, they were all around ten years old; now, Ye Xinglan is thirteen. Girls develop early; she's already over 1.6 meters tall, with a slender figure, especially her long, striking legs. More importantly, her beauty is only comparable to Xu Xiaoyan in the first year. This immediately attracted the attention of many male students.

However, compared to before, Ye Xinglan's cold expression remained unchanged, still icy and unapproachable.

The arrogance of the past was gone from those eyes; only pure coldness remained.

"There are still empty seats at the back. Since you are transfer students, please go to the back. We are about to have a match against the sixth graders, and you can also choose to join a team and participate. I hope you can integrate into the class."

Seeing Gu You sitting in front of her, Ye Xinglan felt uneasy. After all, that person had ended her life and her dream of invincibility.

When Xu Lizhi mentioned that Gu You might come to the outer court, Ye Xinglan was a little skeptical. After all, how could an inner court disciple possibly come to the outer court?

She had heard Shen Yi mention before that Gu You was considered an inner court disciple because he had a teacher in the inner court.

But unexpectedly, he, who was even more terrifying than a genius, chose to come to the outer courtyard.

Shen Yi left, and everyone's attention focused on Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi. However, few people noticed the fat Xu Lizhi. Most of the attention was on Ye Xinglan.

Luo Guixing was the first to step forward. He walked up to Ye Xinglan and smiled, "Hello, I'm Luo Guixing. May I ask what level of cultivation you are at?"

Ye Xinglan merely glanced at him before walking straight to the back of the classroom, ignoring him completely.

Luo Guixing was stunned. He considered himself handsome and had a gentle smile. In addition, he was known as a young genius and always had a high opinion of himself. However, Ye Xinglan, the newcomer, did not give him any face at all and had a rather cold and indifferent attitude.

The first-year students' gazes followed Ye Xinglan as she walked away. Only Xu Lizhi walked up to Gu You and excitedly said, "Now we're classmates!"

Gu You simply smiled back and patted the chubby boy on the shoulder. "Our team is a few people short. Want to come?"

"With you here, I'll definitely come," Xu Lizhi immediately replied, thinking, "Isn't this free credit?"

But then his voice lowered, and he said, "Brother Gu, let Sister Xinglan join our team too, okay? Otherwise, she'll be so lonely. Knowing her personality, she won't join anyone else's team. I can't just watch her be all alone."

Gu You nodded, "One less is worse than one more; this is just the right number."

"That's great, thank you!" Xu Lizhi ran up to Ye Xinglan, panting, wanting to tell her the good news.

Ye Xinglan rejected Luo Guixing's advances, and few of the students who were watching her dared to go up and say hello.

Xu Lizhi ran over and said something to her. Her expression became noticeably more complicated. At first, she didn't want to agree, but after Xu Lizhi asked her some questions, she completely changed her mind.

Xu Lizhi asked, "Sister Xinglan, what is your purpose in cultivating?"

"To become stronger!" Ye Xinglan answered without hesitation.

Xu Lizhi said in a deep voice, "Our opponents in this competition are sixth-year students. They are all strong. Don't you want to have a match with them?"

"A strong person?" Ye Xinglan curled her lips, noticing that the chubby boy in front of her had changed a lot.

Xu Lizhi smiled calmly, "This is a great opportunity to hone your skills and become a stronger person. It's better to stick with what you know than to do something new. Join their team. They've got it covered. There's no need to worry about winning or losing. Just show your strength and see how much you've improved over the past few years."

Ye Xinglan made up her mind and walked towards Gu You's location.

Many students wanted to team up with Guyou, but they were all turned down. The reason was simple: the team was full.

"You seem very confident?" Just then, a strange voice sounded from the side.

Gu You turned his head and saw Zheng Yiran, whom he had never met before. She was the Green Serpent Zheng Yiran, the classmate who was ranked last on the list of young geniuses who was good at using poison.

"Confidence is essential for a Soul Master," Gu You said with a smile.

Zheng Yiran said, "Alright, then I'd like to see what makes you think you can defeat everyone, a genius who has never been on the list of young geniuses."

Gu You frowned, his sarcasm obvious, but he ignored it.

Just a clown...

But Ye Xinglan, who had just walked over, couldn't stand it.

"The list of young geniuses? What's that?!" Ye Xinglan looked at Zheng Yiran and asked seriously, barely suppressing her anger.

Zheng Yiran was taken aback for a moment. "You don't even know about the list of young geniuses? It's a sub-list of the Mainland Popularity Ranking. It's specifically designed for young geniuses, and there are thirty spots in total. I'm on that list." As she finished speaking, a clear look of pride appeared in her eyes.

Yes, she certainly has something to be proud of; those who make it onto this list are all exceptional individuals.

Ye Xinglan still sneered and shook her head, "Never heard of it. I only know about the Mainland Popularity Ranking. If you are all on that list, then that's alright."

In her eyes, Gu You's future achievements will definitely be on that list.

Gu You suddenly realized that Ye Xinglan, who was usually cold and aloof, also had a cute side.

It feels so good to have someone else vent your anger.

Zheng Yiran sneered, "Fine! Never heard of it? Then let's have a one-on-one match on the field and I'll show you the meaning of this ranking."

Ye Xinglan remained silent, merely staring coldly at Zheng Yiran, after what happened last time…
