The most tragic form of reincarnation is being reborn into a body you never desired. Unfortunately, Xigua had followed in Pu Songling's footsteps. While reincarnation itself was as difficult as ascending to heaven, the process was fraught with unpredictable variables...
This was nothing short of divine misfortune!
More importantly, since Xigua's arrival, the class atmosphere had become unprecedentedly harmonious. Most students would feed him, stroke his cheeks when leaving, and even introduce him to their friends and family.
Notably, Ling Xian seemed content to remain unnoticed and allowed Xigua to live.
✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙
In recent days, Hao Zhen, who ran a Spirit Beast business, had been collaborating with other Beast Masters to teach Xigua how to act more like a dog.
This was the Dragon King, after all, who retained the memories and wisdom of his past life!
And the first step was teaching him to bark...
Xigua was furious! As the Dragon King, why the hell should I learn to bark?!
When Hao Zhen rushed into the classroom, everyone witnessed the training session.
During the training, Hao Zhen repeatedly played dog videos for Xigua, hoping he would learn. Instead, Xigua simply rolled over!
"Goddamn it! Learn! Now!" Hao Zhen roared impatiently.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he fell into deep thought.
Perhaps the teaching method is wrong?
Then, a flash of inspiration struck him!
✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙
The next day, everyone saw Hao Zhen leading a rented real dog into the classroom.
"Why did Teacher Hao bring a dog to class?"
"It's so cute!"
Hao Zhen said coldly, "You'll understand when you see."
He released the leash, and the dog immediately lunged toward Xigua.
"Look!" Hao Zhen declared. "This is your role model! I've named it Tiangou! You want to keep your throne, right?"
The crowd fell silent.
Xigua: "..." Bastard!
Ultimately, what drove Xigua to bark wasn't Hao Zhen himself, but his owl, Dandan, and a genius student named Xu Yutong.
Xu Yutong was a manga artist and one of Phoenix Ridge's top students. Energetic and full of humor, Ling Xian even considered her his primary vigilance target—especially after a week! After all, she was a BL fan...
Who knew what she might draw when she was bored!
The most glaring example occurred during Xigua's training. She actually paired Dandan and Xigua together...
Holy shit! They're not even the same species!
Xigua even doubted whether they could reproduce...
This incident sparked intense mutual animosity, turning them into sworn enemies.
Until one day...
✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙
As soon as the bell rang, Xu Yutong was already trying to play matchmaker, offering excuses like, "Didn't you know? Different species can actually reproduce! Dogs and parrots aren't recognized by the world, so why don't we try it ourselves?"
Xigua: "..." Dafaq?!
Her audacity is unbelievable! he barked furiously.
Suddenly, he realized... he was barking for her!
Knowing the truth, she chuckled softly. Xigua immediately face-planted into the ground.
✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙
Ling Xian had been enrolled for a full week. Despite a series of bizarre coincidences—being placed in the top class, meeting a BL manga artist, and getting entangled with a few annoying characters—his days had been surprisingly peaceful, despite the unexpected twists.
With most of my attention drawn to Dandan and Xigua, I finally felt a sense of ease...
But the calm wouldn't last.
A few days later, Ling Xian noticed he was being followed.
Thanks to my clairvoyant abilities, I sensed the malicious gaze from afar.
They employed various technological means to conceal their movements, but none could escape Ling Xian's discerning eyes.
His eyes functioned like automatic detectors, their sensitivity surpassing any technological product on Earth by millions of times. His ears were like monitors tracking the planet's orbit, and combined with his telepathic abilities, he could pinpoint any individual anywhere in the world.
If he were to further enhance these abilities, even the entire universe...
After all, the boundaries of power were limitless—at least for him.

"Master, the boy is leaving the school gates. We've locked onto the target. Should we approach him and inform him of your interest in meeting him?"
"No need. We'll meet when the time is right," a cold voice replied from the slowly closing window of the luxurious sedan.
"As you command, Master."
"But Master, I'm truly curious. Why are you so eager to meet this child? He's just a first-year student and doesn't seem particularly remarkable."
The young man inside the car took a sip of his wine and glanced at him. "You wouldn't understand..." He had been searching for Ling Xian for four years... but now, finally, there was progress.
Who exactly was this person?
"That child... is my true Master."
The driver was stunned, and even the butler and two bodyguards showed visible shock!
"What?! That freshman is Master's Master?!"
Their shock was far from unfounded. The man who spoke these words was none other than Xue Feng! Commander of the Eight-Star Group, Deputy Director of the Academy Central Bureau...
