Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

Jin Ni watched as Vina accepted her as her older sister, and a strange emotion welled up within her. In the Star Dou Great Forest, although the ferocious beasts also took good care of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, they all regarded it as a cub. Other soul beasts, out of fear of the ferocious beasts, dared not approach the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's ten-thousand-year life in the Star Dou Great Forest was actually quite lonely.

Now that she could feel Vina's sincerity, Jin Ni felt a warmth in her heart and hugged Vina.

Jin Ni thought to herself, "Human life is really interesting, much more interesting than the Star Dou Great Forest. This trip was definitely a wise move."

Looking at Vina and Jin Ni getting along so well, Long Aotian couldn't help but smile.

Long Aotian said, "Jin Ni, now that you've taken human form, just stay with us. Although we know your bloodline power is special and no human can identify your soul beast identity, it's still best to be safe."

Jin Ni nodded and said, "Yes, I want to follow you. I don't know anyone else in the human world."

Hearing Jin Ni's words, Long Aotian felt relieved. As long as Jin Ni didn't run around, it would be fine. Otherwise, given her status as an imperial auspicious beast, if anything happened to her, the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest would probably go crazy.

However, now that Jin Ni is by his side, he naturally has to protect her.

"Jin Ni, where are you staying now? Do you want to go back and rest? After all, the battle just now must have taken a lot of toll on your energy," Long Aotian asked.

"The dormitory the college arranged for me is also a detached courtyard house, but it's not in your area, it's in another area," Jin Ni replied.

"Sister Ni, would you like to move in with me? I live in the little courtyard next to Brother Ao," Vina said.

Without hesitation, Jin Ni said, "Sure, I was finding it too boring living alone in that detached house. It'll be perfect to move in with Nana."

So the three of them went to the dormitory manager and asked to switch dorms. As expected, Jin Ni moved to the next courtyard to live with Vina.

. . .

The next morning, the group went to class together.

When they arrived at the classroom, Chen Lu and Gu Tong were already sitting inside.

When the students in Class 1 saw Long Aotian enter the classroom, they immediately stirred up a commotion, glancing at him and whispering among themselves.

Long Aotian and Vina took their seats and began chatting with Ye Guyi, Gu Tong, Chen Lu, and others behind them.

Chen Lu said, "Boss, you really stole the show yesterday! Your battle against Jin Ni from Class 2 was truly spectacular. Now your reputation is incredibly high in Class 1. And I heard that the excitement of your battle yesterday has even spread throughout the entire freshman class."

Long Aotian said, "Strictly speaking, there was no clear winner yesterday. In the end, both Jin Ni and I exhausted our soul power, so it can only be described as a draw."

Chen Lu said, "Although there was no winner, Teacher Mu from Class Two reportedly commented afterward that both of you had the destructive power of a high-level Soul King."

"To unleash the combat power of a high-level Soul King at the Soul Venerable level, one can imagine how outstanding you two are among the new generation."

Mu Yu Cheng Feng wasn't wrong. Long Ao Tian actually had many trump cards yet to be revealed. If he used them all, even an opponent who had just entered the Soul Emperor realm wouldn't be without a fighting chance. After all, Long Ao Tian had too many trump cards. He still had the 200,000-year-old Golden Behemoth right arm bone, the Heavenly Question Nine Songs Divine Blade, and the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, all of which he hadn't used yet.

However, Long Aotian had a gut feeling that Jin Ni must also have some trump cards. After all, as an Emperor-level auspicious beast, it was impossible for those ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest not to have some trump cards for her. She probably even had a soul bone at the level of a ferocious beast.

Gu Tong chimed in, "Yeah, Brother Long, you and Jin Ni from Class Two have already made a name for yourselves throughout the entire freshman class in just one day."

Chen Lu continued, "I also heard that some classmates who like to stir up trouble gave you two nicknames: one is called the Golden Martial God, and the other is called the Golden Dragon Girl."

"Now, you two are being called the 'Emperor's Twin Stars' among the new generation, one a martial god, the other a dragon girl. It sounds like a pretty good match." As soon as he said it, Chen Lu realized he had misspoke and glanced guiltily at Vina.

Vina noticed Chen Lu's thoughts, smiled, and said, "Jin Ni and I have already recognized each other as sisters. From now on, Jin Ni will be my older sister. You should also treat Jin Ni as one of our own."

Chen Lu stared at Long Aotian with his mouth agape in shock, thinking: "Boss is amazing! He managed to win over Vina and Jin Ni in one go and even made them sisters. You truly live up to your reputation, Boss."

Chen Lu silently gave Long Aotian a thumbs up. Long Aotian had no idea what Chen Lu was thinking and looked at Chen Lu in bewilderment as he suddenly gave him a thumbs up.

Gu Tong then asked, "Nana, why does Jin Ni look so much like you? Now they're saying you're sisters. Are you really twins? I've never heard you mention that before."

Vina replied, "We are not blood sisters. The reason we look alike is purely coincidental. We became sworn sisters because we felt a connection with each other."

Vina concealed the matter of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an auspicious beast of the Emperor, because it was a matter of great importance. Even someone as close as Gu Tong could not reveal it casually. This matter could only be known by Long Aotian, Vina, and Jin Ni.

A moment later, the school bell rang, and Lord Grim walked into the classroom, which immediately fell silent.

Lord Grim glanced at the teachers and said, "Yesterday was the first day of class, and it was a practical exercise for you all. You all witnessed the results of the actual combat."

"You are all around the same age. Some of you are only at the first-ring Soul Warrior level, some are at the second-ring Great Soul Master level, and some are already at the third-ring Soul Venerable level. I think it goes without saying that none of you want to be left behind by your peers."

"The sparring match in the first lesson yesterday was to help you see yourselves clearly and the gap between yourselves and others. What you need to do next is to work hard, train diligently, narrow the gap between yourselves and others, and not become the bottom of your peers."

"Did you understand?"

"Understood!" all the students in the class replied in unison.

"Next, everyone rearrange the seats. When I call out your names, sit in pairs."

Then, Lord Grim took out the class roster and began reading out the students' names, pairing them up.

Soon, Lord Grim paired up all the students in the class, and then everyone took their seats again according to their names.
