"Yunxiao, are you used to living with others?" Looking at Lu Yunxiao standing beside her, Ruo Ling asked softly.

"Teacher Ruo Ling, are there no separate rooms available?" Lu Yunxiao paused slightly and then asked calmly.

Given the choice, he naturally preferred living alone. After all, living with several people wasn't as comfortable.

According to what Ruo Ling revealed earlier, students with A-level talents or higher were eligible to choose to live alone, which was a special privilege granted by the academy to geniuses.

"That's possible, but..." Ruo Ling seemed hesitant to continue.

"But what?" Lu Yunxiao asked calmly.

"But this year, there are quite a few A-level students. After they made their selections, only one separate dormitory room is left, and the person living next to that room is somewhat cold and fierce. I'm afraid you two might not get along," Ruo Ling said softly.

"Oh? Who is this person?" Lu Yunxiao became interested and couldn't help asking.

"This person is called Wu Hao, a local student from the Black Corner Region. He exudes a strong aura of slaughter because he wields a crimson-heavy sword. So, the students at the academy gave him a nickname, Bloody Sword Wu Hao," Ruo Ling explained.

"Bloody Sword Wu Hao?" Lu Yunxiao's eyes brightened. This name sounded familiar to him.

In the outer courtyard of the Jia Nan Academy, apart from himself, the one with the highest talent should be the Little Witch, Hu Jia. While Wu Hao's talent might be slightly inferior to Hu Jia's, his future achievements would definitely not be less impressive than hers, maybe even surpassing hers.

Because he was a man who dared to fight and push boundaries. Despite his intense aura, he valued loyalty and admired the strong. He could be considered upright and honest.

Lu Yunxiao actually admired someone like that.

As for being proud and cold in everyday interactions, many students kept their distance, which was quite normal.

Although Jia Nan Academy had many students, each excelling in their own way, in Lu Yunxiao's opinion, most of them were mediocre.

Mediocre individuals and geniuses were never on the same path and couldn't understand each other's thoughts. Wu Hao and Hu Jia, these two individuals, although they might not compare to those blessed by bloodlines among the ancient races, were true geniuses. Even in the Central Region, they were not considered inferior.

Up to now, they were the only two in the outer Academy who could catch Lu Yunxiao's attention.

As for the other students, while their strength might not be lacking, it was built upon time and age. It didn't mean much; their growth potential was limited.

So, after listening to Ruo Ling's words, he became even more interested.

"Teacher Ruo Ling, just arrange it there. I still prefer living alone," Lu Yunxiao said calmly.

"But Wu Hao..."

"Don't worry, I can handle it. Besides, you still don't know my strength. Even if we accidentally have friction and fight, I won't be the one at a disadvantage," Lu Yunxiao said lightly, smiling.

"True, although Wu Hao's strength has reached the nine-star Dou Zhe level, in a fight, you would definitely win," Ruo Ling said with a slight smile. "I'll arrange it for you."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Ruo Ling," Lu Yunxiao said warmly.

"No need!" Ruo Ling smiled gently and then spoke with the school's teachers to arrange Lu Yunxiao's accommodation.

...

Zhenwu Garden, Lu Yunxiao's dormitory was located here.

The dormitories here were all single rooms, with excellent surroundings. Everyone living here had scored A-level or above in the entrance test.

Looking across the entire outer academy of the Jia Nan Academy, the number of people who scored A-level in the entrance test each year would not exceed a hundred. Therefore, those living here were considered the true elite students of the Jia Nan Academy.

Zhenwu Garden was divided into male and female dormitories, with Lu Yunxiao being unfamiliar with the place. Zhang Yuan, the senior whom Lu Yunxiao had defeated with a single punch, was responsible for guiding him.

"It's here, Junior Yunxiao. This is your dormitory," Zhang Yuan said as they stopped in front of a dormitory door.

"Room 302!" Lu Yunxiao murmured as he looked at the doorplate.

"Junior Yunxiao, settle in here first. Someone will bring your bedding later. Oh, by the way, you new students have a two-day break to rest. The day after tomorrow, classes will officially start. Your classroom is on the second floor of the Minghong Building, Room 3-2. Here's the campus map. If you're not familiar with the routes, you can follow the map's directions," Zhang Yuan said, handing a map to Lu Yunxiao.

"Thank you, senior," Lu Yunxiao said, taking the map.

"No need for thanks. It's my duty. I'll take my leave then," Zhang Yuan said, ready to depart.

"Take care, senior," Lu Yunxiao waved his hand and said softly.

As he watched Zhang Yuan leave, Lu Yunxiao took out his keys, preparing to open the door.

At that moment, the door of the neighboring dorm suddenly opened, and a figure stepped out.

Lu Yunxiao tilted his head slightly, and the figure turned around. Instantly, their gazes locked in mid-air.

It was a cold gaze, with hints of killing intent and a touch of fierceness.

Lu Yunxiao's gaze, on the other hand, remained quite calm, but amidst that calmness, there was a chilling sharpness.

The two stared at each other, and the air seemed to grow tense.

"Bloody Sword Wu Hao?" Lu Yunxiao spoke softly, his gaze faintly flickering as he asked calmly.

"Who are you?" Wu Hao's expression remained unchanged; his tone icy.

With just a glance, he knew the person in front of him was formidable, a worthy opponent. His heart couldn't help but stir.

"Just a nobody. You can call me Lu Yunxiao," Lu Yunxiao smiled lightly and replied casually.

"You're Lu Yunxiao?" Wu Hao raised an eyebrow, his interest intensifying, and the cold aura around him seemed to escalate.

"Do you know me?" Lu Yunxiao was somewhat surprised. He had just enrolled today. How did Wu Hao seem to know about him?

"I don't know you, but I did hear you're quite strong?" Wu Hao's eyes flickered with excitement. He loved facing strong opponents.

"No, no, I'm actually quite ordinary," Lu Yunxiao said modestly.

"No, you're not ordinary. You're very extraordinary," Wu Hao shook his head, his eyes gleaming. "How about a fight when we get the chance?"

Feeling Lu Yunxiao's extraordinary nature up close, his fighting spirit surged.

"That can be arranged," Lu Yunxiao didn't refuse. He was more than willing to spar.

"Great!" Wu Hao nodded, a faint excitement crossing his cold face. "Oh, by the way, a friendly reminder."

Closing his door, as he passed by Lu Yunxiao, Wu Hao suddenly spoke.

"What?" Lu Yunxiao asked calmly.

"You better be more careful. You've already made a name for yourself in the academy. I'm afraid trouble won't be far away," Wu Hao's icy words came out, and then, he walked away.
