"stop!"

Jiang Luomei turned around and saw Hua Ping's eyes were red. She was staring at her with her hands raised high, as if she was going to hit her.

Jiang Luomei reflexively raised her hands to protect her head, but suddenly she remembered that she was no longer the little follower who was bullied by others, and she was no longer afraid.

At the moment before the slap fell, Jiang Luomei caught it steadily and threw it back.

"Miss Hua, what is this? It's not a good idea to hit your classmates in public, right?"

Hua Ping was still angry and didn't care about anything else. "Without my father's help, you wouldn't have been able to get into the Royal Academy. You have to take my beating. I didn't expect you to fight back. You are such an ungrateful person!"

It's class time now, but luckily Teacher Ding's office is some distance away from the classroom and the door is closed, otherwise with Hua Ping's loud voice, the whole class would have to stick their heads out to listen to her.

Jiang Luomei almost laughed out of anger when she heard this. She was diagnosed with ninth-level innate soul power when she was seven years old. She would be a top student in any city or academy.

If City Lord Hua hadn't kept it a secret from her, her soul power would have remained at more than level ten!

But judging from Hua Ping's tone, she probably knew nothing about what her parents did.

"I am an ungrateful person, so your father is not a good person either. Next time you go back, just call him a big ungrateful person!"

Jiang Luomei left after she finished speaking. She had to go hunt for spirit rings later, so she didn't have time to waste with her.

Hua Ping stood there for a long time, her mind was blank, unable to think of anything, until the office door was pushed open again and Teacher Ding's voice came, then she felt something.

The next day, Jiang Luomei, who had not returned home all night, arrived at the dormitory and saw that all her things were thrown at the door of the dormitory. She knew without thinking who had done that.

But since she was in a good mood and had just obtained her first soul ring, she did not bother with Hua Ping at all. She packed up her things and went to find the dormitory manager to change her room.

"Hey, have you noticed that the atmosphere between Hua Ping and Jiang Luomei is so weird?"

"It's weird, but I've really opened my eyes. They wanted to say it on the first day they came. Who brings followers to study? She's the only one who's arrogant. Now, there's a conflict."

"I do know something. Their dorms are next to mine. Jiang Luomei was away last night, and Hua Ping suddenly went crazy and threw out all of Jiang Luomei's things. After Jiang Luomei came back this morning, she changed dormitories."

The girl who was speaking was Jiang Luomei’s roommate in the new dormitory.

"Isn't this a falling out? How did it get to this point?"

"Didn't you realize the point? Jiang Luomei didn't come home all night, and the dormitory manager didn't even remember her name."

Jiang Linyu, who was trying hard to join in the conversation, spoke slowly, "Yesterday, Teacher Ding discovered that Jiang Luomei's spirit power had reached level ten, so he asked the teacher to take her to hunt for spirit rings."

The people who were still discussing suddenly realized, "I said something was wrong. Jiang Luomei seems to be much more energetic."

"I remember now. Do you remember Hua Ping's self-introduction yesterday? It was all nonsense, none of it made sense."

"Jiang Luomei got her first spirit ring today, but Hua Ping hasn't even reached level 10 yet. I was wondering why she has such a bad temper."

"Didn't she not participate in the competition yesterday? What is her innate spirit power level? Why doesn't she have the first spirit ring yet?"

Hua Ping sat in her seat, feeling upset by the whispers and vague glances around her.

"Shut up, it's so noisy!" Hua Ping couldn't stand it anymore and yelled.

The classroom suddenly became quiet for a moment, followed by another round of discussions.

"She started to get anxious. I heard that the academy changed the rules for splitting classes this time. In previous years, the soul power level requirements for students were extended until after the holidays, but this year it was suddenly changed to before the holidays. She only has two months left."

"Besides, her family has no money or power. She is just the daughter of a small city lord, but she is more arrogant than anyone else. I am just waiting for the day when she fails to meet the standards and is expelled from school."

Gu Tangtang lay on the table to rest, not paying attention to the discussions around her.

It’s tiring enough to think about when my memory will recover every day. Instead of gossiping, I might as well take a rest.

Time flies, and the academy will be on holiday in two days. During these two months, Gu Tangtang has been either resting or practicing. Finally, she broke through level 20 not long ago and obtained the second soul ring.

The others are similar, except Hua Ping.

In the past two months, Hua Ping sent dozens of letters to her family, all of which were asking for soul-enhancing pills so that she could stay in the academy.

However, the Sun-Moon Empire did not attach much importance to martial spirits, and Hua Ping was only the daughter of a small city lord, and her resources were only slightly better than those of other ordinary people.

The Soul-Upgrading Pill was something they could only come across by chance, but City Lord Hua was lucky and he actually got one in the past two months, which he promptly sent over.

The Soul-Uplifting Pill was worthy of its name, and Hua Ping successfully reached level nine that night after taking it.

I just don’t know if City Lord Hua’s luck has run out, and he never found it again after that.

Just tonight, Hua Ping went crazy in the dormitory again, and the sound of smashing things could be heard in other dormitories.

"Crackling."

Jiang Linyu sighed, "It's started again. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well today."

During these two months of getting along, Jiang Linyu's temperament has become much more cheerful and he is no longer afraid to speak like he was at the beginning.

"It's okay. I have a soundproof soul guide. The soundproofing effect is really good."

Gu Tangtang had been unable to sleep well ever since noises started coming out of Hua Ping's dormitory these few days. She happened to find it among the pile of soul guides in the storage ring.

Gu Tangtang took out a few inconspicuous small balls and placed them in the four corners of the dormitory. They looked like glass beads and could not be seen unless you looked carefully.

The moment she put it down, a faint blue light emanated from the dormitory, covering the entire dormitory, and the sound of Hua Ping dropping things disappeared completely in an instant.

"There is really no sound. Gu Qin, where did you buy this soul guide? It's so practical?" Jiang Linyu saved a lot of money this semester and has been interested in soul guides recently.

Gu Tangtang didn’t know where these soul guides came from, but she couldn’t just say that they came with the storage ring. After all, wealth should not be shown to others.

"The city lord gave it to me when I came here. He said it was daily necessities and isn't worth much." Gu Tangtang waved her hand.

(He Caitou and Huo Yuhao counted on their fingers as they made the soundproof soul guide: crystal silver, gold thread, gold glue, black crystal iron… One set would cost at least several thousand gold soul coins. If they save some money, they should be able to make two sets.)

"Class! Today is the last day. We will be on holiday starting tomorrow. I won't say much. Those whose spirit power has not reached level 10 or above, please stand up."

Teacher Ding walked in clattering in her high heels, glanced at everyone, and finally her eyes stopped on Hua Ping.
