Chapter 1344: The Class Selection Competition Begins (Please Subscribe)_1

```

When Wu Dousi returned to class one's classroom, Luo Guixing and the others who were searching for her quickly surrounded her!

After all, her strength was the strongest among them, so she was considered a core member!

Xu Yucheng spoke with an unhappy expression, "Wu Dousi, where on earth did you run off to? You had us all searching for half the day!"

Zheng Yiran sneered, "Exactly, and look at how red your cheeks are, could it be that you've taken a fancy to that male student? Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Upon hearing this, the blush on Wu Dousi's cheeks gradually faded, replaced by an icy chill as she snapped, "Shut up! Do I have to report my whereabouts to you?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Luo Guixing tried to smooth things over, "Wu Dousi, don't be angry, they're just joking."

In his heart, however, he thought contemptuously, "Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that your strength is the strongest among us, who would bother spending so much time on you!"

Wu Dousi glanced coldly at Luo Guixing and said indifferently, "If I were really to take issue, they would already be lying unconscious on the ground!"

As soon as these words were uttered, Zheng Yiran and Xu Yucheng's faces darkened, and they clenched their fists without saying much...

Although they were unconvinced in their hearts, they knew that what she said was true!

Yang Nianxia changed the subject, "Let's not fight among ourselves. Instead, let's discuss how to deal with Gu Yue and her gang. Their existence will only hinder us!"

After this statement, the atmosphere relaxed slightly...

Luo Guixing turned to Wu Dousi with a serious expression, "Wu Dousi, what do you think we should do?"

Wu Dousi was about to say something, but suddenly recalled Xu Sheng's words...

Then, she waved her hand casually and said, "There's no need to waste effort on them. Since those people have set their forging target on Battle Armor, they are destined to be eliminated due to ranking last in the comprehensive assessment!"

After a pause, she spoke again, "For the next few days, let's all go to the duel stage to practice and avoid any surprises during the friendly matches!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded silently...

Indeed, deep down, none of them believed that Gu Yue and the others had the ability to create Battle Armor!!

...

The next day!

Xu Sheng and Shen Yi stepped into the classroom, and Gu Yue, the class monitor, announced, "Everyone, stand up!"

The next second, all the students in class one stood up and turned their gaze to the two of them!

Xu Sheng nodded slightly and said, "Today is the class selection competition. The winners will represent the first-year's class one in the friendly match against the second-year's class one. Therefore, I hope everyone will take this competition seriously!"

In an instant, every student's eyes brimmed with intense fighting spirit...

The group representing the first-year's class one, without a doubt, was the strongest students!!

Seeing the fighting spirit on everyone's faces, Shen Yi smiled and said, "Since you're all ready, follow Teacher Xu and me to the duel stage!"

"Yes!"

Before long, Xu Sheng and Shen Yi led the students of the first-year's class one to the duel stage...

And in the middle of the duel stage, stood a woman dressed in a turquoise long gown, looking pristine and elegant, filled with the breath of life!

Her dark green hair was draped behind her, seemingly symbolizing her status!

The Saint Soul Douluo, Ya'li!

The reason she was presiding over the duel was due to her powerful healing abilities, which could ensure the safety of all the students!

```

Shen Yi and Xu Sheng spoke up in unison, "Saint Crown! (Elder Ya'li)!"

Especially the former, who felt somewhat uneasy at heart, after all, last time she had even forgotten to include the honorific!

Ya'li gave a slight smile and softly said, "No need for such courtesy."

The students standing at the back immediately started discussing...

"Who is this beautiful woman? To command such respect from Teacher Shen!"

"Fool, show some respect. This is the Saint Soul Douluo from our Sea God's Pavilion, whose soul power rank has reached the terrifying level 99!!"

"That's right, it's said that Saint Crown excels in healing, as long as you haven't kicked the bucket, she can bring you back to life! She has a resounding reputation throughout the whole Continent!"

"Hiss... Is the academy really taking this sparring match with the senior grades so seriously to have sent an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion to preside over it!"

Shen Yi's brow furrowed slightly as she said coldly, "Have you not yet paid your respects to Saint Crown!"

At these words, all the students stopped their discussion and respectfully said, "We have seen Saint Crown!!"

Ya'li nodded slightly, "Hmm, the purpose of this sparring match is to learn from each other. I hope everyone can tap into their potential and compete with their true strength. Of course, try not to engage in actions that injure others!"

After a few brief words, she elevated and slowly landed on the exclusive seat not too far away...

Xu Sheng nodded towards Shen Yi, who then seriously began, "This class' internal selection match will be based on the principles of openness, fairness, and justice, dividing the entire class into seventeen groups. Shortly, we will adopt a drawing lots method for the competition, which will be on an elimination basis."

"After determining the strongest group, they will represent the first grade's first class in an exchange match with the second grade's first class the day after tomorrow. As for the exchange of minor professions, that will be participated in by the various class committee members!"

"If there are no questions, the selection match will officially begin. Please have a representative from each group come forward to draw lots!!"

Following that, Shen Yi swiftly took out a white box, inside of which were thirty-four lots; drawing a matching number signifies your opponent for this match!"

Soon, representatives from each group came forward to draw lots...

Tang Wulin looked at the blank lot in his palm and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...

Lucky to be on a bye, otherwise exposing his true strength in the first round would greatly hinder their subsequent matches!

Moreover, there were the most troublesome ones, Wu Dousi and her group!

"First round, Tang Wulin's group has a bye!"

...

Luo Guixing frowned and said, "Damn, those guys are really lucky, to have gotten a bye!"

Zheng Yiran scoffed coldly, "Tch, what does it matter if they get a bye? These powerless trash can't always rely on luck to win, can they?"

Xu Yucheng squinted and said, "Could it be that Teacher Xu used some kind of tricks? The relationship he has with Gu Yue and the others seems somewhat unusual!"

Upon hearing this sentence, Wu Dousi's icy words subconsciously rang out...

"No, Teacher Xu isn't that kind of person!"

If he didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, Teacher Xu could have simply given his own group a bye!

There was absolutely no need for underhanded tactics that can't stand the light of day!!

The others were surprised but didn't argue with her...

After organizing the drawing of lots, Shen Yi looked at the first grade's first class students and announced, "Now, please have the two groups who drew number one come to the stage and begin the match immediately!!"
