Chapter 1188: List of Participants (Please Subscribe)_1

Xu Sheng glanced at them, his tone meaningful as he said, "However, well..."

This statement brought a glimmer of hope back into the eyes of the students who had been sighing.

After a brief pause, he continued, "If the students representing Class 1 can achieve a complete victory in the promotion competition, I might indeed bring a piece of Battle Armor for everyone to see."

He had gained a basic understanding of Battle Armor in the past few days and could summarize it in a simple sentence!

That is, a humanoid soul tool!

As the name suggests, it's a soul tool that can fit perfectly with a Soul Master's body and significantly enhance various attributes and abilities!

And with Divine Power, as long as he had an idea, he could create it at will!

Wei Xiaofeng's eyes shone as he said, "You have my word! Teacher Xu, you can't go back on your promise!"

Wasn't it just about maintaining Class 1's position? That was something easily done with a capable hand!

Wang Jinxi also frowned slightly, hesitating, "You know, the cost of creating Battle Armor is terrifyingly high. Can Teacher Xu really get one?"

Even those at the Soul Emperor level rarely possess Battle Armor—almost impossible to find!

"Of course, Teacher Xu is a Six-ringed Soul Emperor; getting a piece of Battle Armor is not a problem at all, right, Teacher Xu?"

"Exactly, we should believe in Teacher Xu—he has never lied to us!"

Xu Sheng smiled faintly, "Rest assured, as long as you do your part, I will naturally keep my word!"

One of the students seemed to have thought of something and asked doubtfully, "Hey! Speaking of the promotion competition, Teacher Xu, you haven't told us when it's going to start!"

Upon hearing this question, he explained nonchalantly, "The promotion competition will begin in a month, which means, within this month, you must do your best to improve your Cultivation Level to prepare for it!"

After his words fell, an astonished voice rang out, "Ah? A whole month? Isn't it just a promotion competition? Why so slow?"

"Idiot! The reason it's delayed is to give the other classes a chance!"

"That's right, you should know that when we first entered the academy, the other classes had only one or even no 2nd Ring Grand Soul Master at all!"

All this was to maintain balance, otherwise, if the promotion competition started right after entering the academy, just the three 2nd Ring Grand Soul Masters from Class 1 alone would ensure that other classes stood no chance whatsoever of winning!

After learning the timing of the promotion competition, another female student continued to inquire, "Then, Teacher, who are the representatives from our class participating in the promotion competition?"

Despite knowing that Wei Xiaofeng and others would definitely participate, not knowing the specifics still made her feel uneasy!

To this, Xu Sheng smiled slightly, "I've already decided who will participate in the promotion competition. Let's take this opportunity to discuss it."

Having said that, he turned around and began writing on the blackboard...

A few seconds later, several names appeared on the blackboard...

The students began to examine the names written there...

"Wei Xiaofeng, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi; they were in my expectations, after all, they're the students with the best soul power rank in our class!"

"Next are Zhao Wu, Li Xue, and Gu... Gu Yue, what's going on?"

"Could the teacher have made a mistake? Gu Yue only joined Class 1 yesterday, right? Isn't it a bit unfair to send her to the promotion competition directly?"

Seeing her own name, Gu Yue's cheeks showed a hint of bewilderment...

Promotion competition?

Had Teacher Xu mentioned this to her?

Probably not, but now that she was nominated, she might as well participate!

Who knew Xu Sheng would show a harmlessly charming smile and inquire, "What's the matter? Does anyone have any questions about the competition roster?"

Wei Xiaofeng immediately reminded, "Teacher, aren't you going to ask Gu Yue what she thinks? It's not right to force her into it like this, is it?"

Hearing this, Xu Sheng turned his gaze toward Gu Yue by the window, "Is that so? Then, Gu Yue, are you willing to represent Class 1 in the promotion tournament?"

What he received was Gu Yue's utterly calm response, "It's fine, but if we lose, don't blame me!"

Satisfied with the response, Xu Sheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "See, Gu Yue is quite willing!"

Unable to restrain himself anymore, Zhao Wu muttered through gritted teeth, "Even so, why did you add me? With Wang Jinxi and the others, I won't get a chance to play at all!"

Upon hearing Zhao Wu's words, Xu Sheng first froze, then frowned and looked at the blackboard in front, only to discover Zhao Wu's name was indeed there...

After erasing his name, he couldn't help but mutter, "How come your name was there? That's really bad luck!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire classroom immediately erupted into laughter...

"Pfft!! I'm dying of laughter! Hahaha"

"Bad luck! Zhao Wu, looks like you're not in Teacher Xu's good books, eh!"

"I didn't want to laugh, but, I just couldn't help it!"

Facing all these jeers, especially from the girls who were laughing till they bent over, Zhao Wu looked at the ceiling with a face full of despair...

"Why the heck! Who did I offend?!"

Because of Xu Sheng's short remark, Zhao Wu was instantly socially dead in the class!

Wei Xiaofeng patted him on the shoulder and consoled in all seriousness, "Zhao Wu, don't worry, you've been the butt of the jokes in class for a while now, this won't make much difference!"

Wang Jinxi nodded in agreement, "Yeah! Although you're a bit unlucky, as a fellow guy, we won't ostracize you."

Zhang Yangzi stifled his laughter and said, "Indeed, Zhao Wu, I still have to congratulate you on losing your right to choose a partner for six years!"

Watching Wei Xiaofeng and the other two add fuel to the fire, Zhao Wu didn't know where his courage came from and irritably said, "To hell with you guys!"

But just then, the girl named Li Xue, with her delicate cheeks changing hues undecidedly, hesitated and said, "Um… Teacher? I don't think I said I wanted to participate in the promotion tournament, did I? Could you have... made a mistake as well?"

Inwardly panicking, she thought, "What do I do, what do I do? Could the teacher have written my name down by mistake too?"

If called unlucky, would she meet the same fate as Zhao Wu did before?

Xu Sheng glanced at Li Xue, and gently explained, "No, it's not a mistake. Your Martial Soul is very good with control, so it makes you a potential choice for the promotion tournament!"

Facing this gentle tone, Li Xue's cheeks turned incredibly red...

After a silent sigh of relief, she said somewhat shyly, "Thank...Thank you, Teacher Xu!"

Teacher Xu was actually so gentle; she had thought he would treat her like he did Zhao Wu!

Quietly making up her mind, from now on, Teacher Xu would be her idol!

Xu Sheng raised his hand to signal silence, "Alright! That's enough chit-chat! Everyone quiet down."

As his words concluded, the classroom instantly fell silent...

Only then did he nod in satisfaction and seriously said, "Now I'm going to tell you how to position your Martial Soul and how to cooperate with your teammates in team battles..."
