People from the class formed teams in groups of twos and threes, while Chen Jiujun naturally had no intention of teaming up and left the classroom directly.
Behind him, a dozen students who hadn’t awakened their Soul Cards also left early.
Su Yuan packed up his things and prepared to leave; his old E-3 Longsword was already scrapped, and he planned to sell some undecomposed White Cards at the mall after class and buy a new Longsword.
Su Yuan was about to leave when Jiang Jun suddenly said, “How about we team up?
I don’t have a teammate anyway.”
“Me?” Su Yuan was truly surprised.
Jiang Jun was offering to team up without knowing his details.
After all, Jiang Jun was already at the Ninth Stage, one of the strong contenders for the Weapon Card, yet she was willing to initiate a team-up with him.
Although he had rapidly improved over the past month, only he knew about it.
To his classmates, it seemed like his cultivation had stagnated for a year, so his strength shouldn’t be considered strong.
After a slight pause, Su Yuan said apologetically, “No need, I should act alone, and with your strength, you probably don’t need a teammate either.”
Forming a team meant that rewards, including points and Star Cores, had to be split, and team actions weren’t as free as those of an individual.
Su Yuan estimated that with his current strength, he would be more efficient acting alone.
After saying this, Su Yuan waved his hand and left the classroom.
Watching Su Yuan’s briskly departing figure, Jiang Jun slightly narrowed her eyes.
“I don’t know why, but this guy always seems more complex than he appears, even though he just awakened…”
Shaking her head, Jiang Jun didn’t team up with anyone else and quickly left after packing her things.
…
At ten o’clock at night, in an underground practice room in a residential area in the east of the city, a figure was still vigorously swinging a broadsword under the lights.
This was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth, bare-chested with a muscular build, much more robust than typical peers!
This youth was Fang Kun, a specially recruited student from Guangchuan First Middle School from Shuzhou.

Fang Kun brandished his sword swiftly.
His saber skills were wide, powerful, and dominant, resembling a Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain, displaying immense strength.
Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table started ringing.
Fang Kun paid no attention to it and didn’t even glance at it, continuing to complete the entire sequence of saber techniques before stopping.
He placed the broadsword on the rack, wiped his sweat with a towel, and then picked up the mobile phone.
“Zhuang Xun?
One of the students who passed through the special recruitment from Shuzhou, seems to be from Qingye High School.
Why is he suddenly calling me?”
With a bit of confusion, Fang Kun answered the call, “Hello?”
“Fang Kun?”
“That’s me, you’re Zhuang Xun from Qingye High School, right?
What’s up?”
“I want to ask about someone.”
“Ask about someone?”
“That’s right, a student named Su Yuan from Guangchuan Fourth Middle School.”
“Su Yuan?
Fourth Middle?” Fang Kun pondered for a moment, “I haven’t heard of him, isn’t Chen Jiujun the only notable one from Fourth Middle?”
Zhuang Xun seemed puzzled, “Chen Jiujun?
Who is that?”
“Just accepted as a special admission by Wanzhou Academy.”
“Oh?
One city, Guangchuan, not only has you and Su Yuan but also another special admissions student?”
Fang Kun was quite surprised, “Is this Su Yuan really that impressive, to be mentioned alongside me and Chen Jiujun?”
“Be mentioned alongside?” Zhuang Xun’s voice suddenly became a bit more solemn over the phone, “No, in my view, he might even be stronger than you and me!”
“Oh?” Fang Kun frowned slightly, “You’re not kidding, are you?”
“Of course not.”
Fang Kun paused slightly and said, “Well, we in Guangchuan City are having a joint trial tomorrow, so let me see for myself what this Su Yuan is capable of.”
“Hm?” A mysterious laughter came over the phone from Zhuang Xun, “Then I wish you a triumphant victory!”
“Alright.”
Fang Kun hung up the phone.
“Stronger than us?” Fang Kun thought for a while, a trace of eagerness rising in his eyes, and he broke into a smile, “I’m really looking forward to seeing just how skilled this expert Zhuang Xun mentioned is…”
