While Zero stood frozen in place, Su Su had already run up to her in front of everyone’s eyes. Everyone was wondering who this pretty girl with golden waist-length twin tails, who was about the same height as Zero, could be. Chen Xing had already guessed it. This was Su Su, Zero’s fierce best friend.

Su Su spoke directly with an imposing manner, “What are you doing? Where’s Chen Xing?”

“Um… How did you recognize me…” Zero was still wearing a mask!

“Nonsense! I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes!”

“Um…” Zero glanced at Chen Xing with some fear.

Chen Xing and Cheng Xin, the two names sounded alike but didn’t look alike! When Su Su mentioned the names, everyone subconsciously thought she was talking about Cheng Xin. They all looked towards him.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yuexi was somewhat surprised as she looked at Chen Xing. Isn’t he the boy from the restroom just now? He is Chen Xing!? Why does he look different from the person in the video? Could it be that the live broadcast of the Training Academy’s confrontation is using beauty filters?

The spirit system can create virtual clothes, and it can also create virtual faces. That feature is much simpler and more powerful than applying makeup. However!

Due to the flawless effect of the virtual face, it becomes impossible to detect any flaws. This led to a surge in criminal activities. As a result, it was banned by the authorities. When every spirit user awakens, they need to hand over the permission for virtual faces to the national institution. Without official consent, the virtual face function cannot be used. No permission, no access. Protecting national security is everyone’s responsibility!

Zero was the same.

So Lin Yuexi thought that it was just a gap between the live broadcast and reality. It was normal for live broadcasts to have beauty filters. But she didn’t expect the difference between Chen Xing in the live broadcast and Chen Xing in reality to be so significant! They were completely different people!

Su Su noticed everyone’s gaze and also looked at Chen Xing.

“He’s Chen Xing?”

“Um… no… he’s Cheng Xin…” Zero, until now, still wanted to protect Chen Xing’s identity.

Chen Xing chuckled lightly and said, “Yes, it’s me.”

“Huh?” Su Su doubted if she had seen it wrong. Why does this person look different from the one in the live broadcast?

But that wasn’t the point. She wanted to have a private conversation with Chen Xing. She wanted to help Zero evaluate whether this Chen Xing was a scumbag or not! With that in mind, she grabbed Zero’s hand and was about to leave.

“Hey!” Xue Bufu shouted loudly, directly stopping her. “What are you doing!?”

Xue Bufu had dark skin, a muscular physique, and his eyes widened greatly, making him look very intimidating.

Zero: “Um…”

Su Su: “Uh…”

After being glared at by Xue Bufu, she realized that she had acted rashly! She felt a bit embarrassed for a moment.

Lin Yuexi, seeing the situation, walked over to Xue Bufu’s side and smiled, “Hello, Teacher Xue.”

Xue Bufu had quite a reputation, not because of his combat power, but because he was the youngest martial arts master in the country!

During the evaluation of martial arts skills, everyone would disable the attribute enhancements of the spirit system. They would compete solely based on martial arts skills. And among his peers, Xue Bufu had no opponents. At the age of only 25, he obtained the title of martial arts master.

In this world, the average age for the title of martial arts master was 45. However, this youngest martial arts master couldn’t withstand even three moves under Chen Xing.

When Xue Bufu saw Lin Yuexi, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but he didn’t show any outward response. Later, Chen Xing learned that this guy was quite reserved.

“You are… Lin Yuexi?”

“You still remember me? I feel honored.”

After Xue Bufu learned her identity, his attitude noticeably improved.

Chen Xing looked at Lin Yuexi’s figure with narrowed eyes: “What is the identity of this Lin Yuexi?”

【 Ding~ Lin Yuexi, the daughter of the chairman of Linlang Real Estate Group. Graduated from Linlang Spirit Academy (Her family owns it) 】

【Rank A Spirit Master: Lin Yuexi Combat Power: 458,000!】

“458,000!?” Chen Xing exclaimed inwardly! Isn’t that stronger than him!?

【Did you forget? You’ve already leveled up Zero, so now you’re stronger than her!】

“What is my current combat power?”

【750,500!】

“Uh, why is it different from what I estimated? With your enhancement, shouldn’t I have a total multiplier of six?”

“I originally had a combat power of 165,000, so multiplying by six should be 990,000!”

【Calculating combat power isn’t that simple.】

“Okay.”

Lin Yuexi’s pleasant voice sounded again: “Can we take these two away now?”

Xue Bufu nodded. Since it was Lin Yuexi, there was nothing more to say. The training academy had received a lot of sponsorship from their family!

“Thank you, Teacher Xue.”

“You’re welcome.”

Su Su, seeing the situation, directly wanted to pull Zero away: “Let’s go.”

“Um… No!”

“Huh?” Su Su looked at Zero in surprise. In the past, Zero always obeyed her every word. But today… she was actually being refused.

Zero pulled her hand back, wanting to free herself from Su Su’s grip. “I want to complete my training…”

“What training? If I remember correctly, this is the training for partial spiritization, right?”

“Yes…”

Su Su looked helpless: “You don’t even know how to switch forms, and you’re still practicing partial spiritization!”

“Um… I…”

Before Zero could finish speaking, Chen Xing had already appeared next to Su Su and Zero. “She knows now. I leveled her up.”

“You!!!” He suddenly appeared, startling Su Su!

Xue Bufu was secretly amazed: “This speed is clearly faster than before. It seems she really leveled up!”

Su Su quickly caught on and looked shocked: “You leveled her up!?”

“Yes, let’s discuss it later. I don’t want too many people to know about her.”

“Oh…” Su Su had prepared herself before coming here, intending to leave him speechless. But Chen Xing directly silenced her.

The people around didn’t know Zero’s identity, so they were puzzled. Isn’t it just leveling up? Who hasn’t leveled up before?

If they knew that Zero was the rumored SSS-class spirit user considered a waste, it would likely cause a sensation online. 【Famous SSS-class spirit user, not a waste! After many years, finally encountered a patron!】

“Um…” Just as Su Su was astonished, Zero pulled her hand away from her grip.

Then she held Chen Xing’s hand. His warm hand provided her with a sense of security. The panic that arose from Su Su’s sudden appearance vanished, and she smiled brightly. “Hehe~”

Su Su: ???

What does this mean!? Holding hands with me, she looks so gloomy! But holding hands with him makes her smile like that!?

Not happy! Really not happy! Super unhappy!

Seeing her silly smile, Chen Xing couldn’t help but pat her little head and said softly, “Don’t be afraid.”

“Mm!”

Chen Xing continued gently, “Do you still want to continue training?”

“Yes!”

Chen Xing bent down slightly and kissed her forehead. “Keep going.”

“Hehe~ Mm!”

Su Su, who was eating dog food up close, was full of question marks!

Am I the clown?

Zero turned her head and looked at Su Su, whose face looked strange, and whispered, “Su Su, wait for me, okay?”

Then she blurted out Chen Xing’s classic line, “Um… you can sleep for a while, I’ll be fine soon.”

Chen Xing burst into laughter upon hearing that. Unable to resist, he reached out and pinched her cute little face.

“Um… no pinching allowed!”

“Hehe…”

Xue Bufu looked at the two of them expressionlessly. He was tired…

On the other hand, Lin Yuexi had a smiling face, thinking to herself, “These two are so well-matched!”

The classmates were no longer paying attention because they couldn’t eat anymore.

Su Su looked at the two people in front of her with a puzzled expression, then helplessly turned to her sister Yuexi. Her mind was filled with questions: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Lin Yuexi couldn’t help but laugh at her rich facial expressions, thinking to herself that since you’re her best friend, eat some more.

“Cough, cough…” Xue Bufu quickly spoke up, stopping the two of them.

“After this training is over, you two can leave. Hurry up, I have other things to do!”

“Oh.” After rubbing Zero’s little head, Chen Xing walked to the side.

Meanwhile, Su Su was still standing there in a daze.

“Su Su!?” Lin Yuexi quickly called out to her.

Only then did Su Su snap out of it and quickly stood to the side.

“Beginner level, duration: 10 minutes.”

“Hoo~” Zero took a deep breath, feeling a bit nervous. Her heart was beating fast.

Su Su’s dazed mind also returned to normal, and she stared closely at Zero standing in front of the machine. She wanted to see if Zero had really leveled up. If she had, that would be amazing!

Even Su Su found it hard to believe. She knew Zero’s situation better than anyone. When they compared their spirit systems, they discovered many differences. Su Su had exhausted herself trying to figure out the reason behind Zero’s condition, but she couldn’t find an answer.

Just then, a light on the machine turned on.

“Um…” Zero suddenly made a fearful whimper.
