Long Hengxu scratched his head in vexation and stepped inside with Yu Zhen…
They immediately saw Xu Sheng sitting on a chair…
Yu Zhen couldn't wait to ask, "Teacher Xu, what exactly did you say to those teachers from Shrek Academy just now? Why did they look like they saw a ghost?"
Xu Sheng glanced at the two of them, chuckled lightly, and said, "Nothing much, I just discussed some matters concerning Class Zero with those two teachers! The results were very pleasant."
Long Hengxu exclaimed in surprise, "Class Zero?? Could it be… Shrek Academy is interested in the students of Class Zero?"
Since the students of Class Zero won the championship at the Skysea Alliance competition, it wouldn't be surprising if they caught the eye of Shrek Academy!
Yu Zhen also stroked his beard with a face full of joy, excitedly saying, "If that's the case, it's good news for both Class Zero and the entire East Sea Academy!"
It had been a long time since anyone from East Sea Academy had managed to enter Shrek Academy, but if the students from this batch of Class Zero could join, it would bring great publicity to the former!
Xu Sheng's dark eyes twinkled, and he shook his head, "No, to be precise, they are interested in me. They came this time to invite me to become a teacher at Shrek Academy."
"As for Class Zero joining Shrek Academy, that was just a small condition I put forward!"
Long Hengxu was shocked, "Teacher Xu, are you saying that you are leaving East Sea Academy?!"
No wonder those teachers from Shrek Academy came looking for Xu Sheng, rather than discussing directly with the academy!
It turns out they were interested in the latter!
However, losing an outstanding teacher like Xu Sheng would be a tremendous loss for East Sea Academy!
Yu Zhen furrowed his brows as well, trying to comfort him, "Teacher Xu, please think it over carefully. If it's a matter of unsatisfactory treatment, I can discuss it with the higher-ups of the academy later and get you a doubled salary!"
Forget doubling it; even a tenfold increase would be worth it to keep Xu Sheng!
After all, although he was only at the Soul Sage level, his real strength was probably not inferior to a Soul Douluo, a Title Douluo!
Any academy would scramble to have such a powerhouse!
Xu Sheng chuckled and said, "Director Long, Principal Yu, aren't you thinking too far ahead? Even if I were to become a teacher at Shrek Academy, I would have to wait until the kids from Class Zero graduate first!"
With that said, he slowly rose from his seat…
Hearing this, both Long Hengxu and Yu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief…
…
A few days later, on a clean and neatly made bed, Wu Changkong, whose pale blue eyes had been firmly shut, slowly opened them…
He glanced around with a simple gaze and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, "…I lost again? And terribly so."
If he hadn't been mentally prepared before the duel, Xu Sheng's beatdown would have left him battered and bruised!
Suddenly, smooth knocking sounds came from outside the door, "tap tap tap"
"Teacher Wu, may I come in?"
After speaking, Xu Sheng pushed open the door and walked in…
This scene made Wu Changkong's mouth twitch a few times. This guy, if he wanted to barge in forcefully, why bother pretending to ask politely??
After suppressing this thought, he said with an indifferent expression, "Teacher Xu, do you need something from me? Moreover, barging in without permission is hardly something to be proud of."
He had been somewhat annoyed with Xu Sheng, but as the strength gap between the two was huge, that feeling had dissipated quite a bit…
Xu Sheng, upon hearing the words, first froze, then smiled and said, "Teacher Wu, do we really need to care about such things between us?"
This statement made Wu Changkong furrow his brows tightly, "Oh? I'm not quite sure when my relationship with Teacher Xu reached such a level?"
What was with Xu Sheng today? Why was he behaving so strangely, completely different from usual!
Xu Sheng waved off the topic with a caring tone, "Let's not talk about that for now, Teacher Wu, how is your recovery from your injuries going?"
Wu Changkong dismissed the concern casually, "It's fine. If Teacher Xu doesn't have anything else, please leave. I would like to rest a bit more!"
Unsolicited help often comes with ulterior motives—either treachery or thievery!
They rarely interacted on normal days, and yet today he was so enthusiastic. Something was definitely off!
Xu Sheng, acting as though he hadn't heard the hint to leave, chuckled lightly, "Just wait, Teacher Wu, I do indeed have something I want to discuss with you!"
Wu Changkong decisively closed his pale blue eyes, calmly stating, "I apologize, I'm not interested. Please, Teacher Xu, just leave."
Seeing this, Xu Sheng feigned a sigh, "All right, all right. I had hoped to boast in front of you, Teacher Wu, about my ability to resurrect the deceased, but now it seems, I'd better not."
Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong's eyes snapped open and he stared fixedly at Xu Sheng, his voice trembling, "Teacher Xu, what... what did you just say?"
If he hadn't misheard, Xu Sheng claimed he had the means to bring back the dead!
This filled him with intense skepticism...
However, considering that Wang Jinxi's Martial Soul had been damaged and Xu Sheng had repaired it, perhaps he really could do such an unthinkable thing!
The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth curved into a smile, "I said, I have a way to resurrect the departed!"
Seeing Xu Sheng's personal confirmation, Wu Changkong stood up excitedly, his voice urgent, "Teacher Xu, if what you just said is true, I'll agree to do anything you ask!"
Those pale blue eyes were filled with fervent passion...
Since the other party had broached such a topic, he surely had an ulterior motive!
But no matter what, as long as there was a sliver of hope to revive his beloved "Long Bing," he was willing to try!
Seeing his objective achieved, Xu Sheng said lightly, "Teacher Wu, don't get too excited. Even for me, resurrecting the deceased is not that simple!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong's pale blue eyes lit up subconsciously, and he gradually regained his composure...
After taking a deep breath, he stared earnestly at Xu Sheng and said, "Teacher Xu, what evidence do you have to make me believe you?"
Xu Sheng replied, "To briefly see your beloved, would that proof satisfy you?"
After saying that, a Divine Power surged from his body, instantly filling the room...
The next second, golden glowing particles quickly converged, forming a vague silhouette...
Even though the figure had not even revealed its face, it made Wu Changkong's eyes redden as he cried out, "Bing'er"
Others might not be able to tell, but he recognized at first glance that this silhouette was the spitting image of Long Bing from when she was alive!
It seemed that the vague silhouette had heard Wu Changkong's voice and responded with a trembling tone, "Long... Longkong, was it you speaking to me just now?"
