Chapter 1340: Unexpected Affirmation (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

As soon as these words were uttered, the classroom immediately buzzed with intense discussion…

"What, a sparring match between first and second years, isn't it obvious, the second-year students will definitely have the advantage."

"Damn it, the academy clearly doesn't want to give the rewards to us first years! It's totally unfair!"

"That's not necessarily true, although the opponents are second-year students, most of them have reached the soul power rank of three rings, and even four rings, but with Wu Dousi and their strength, they might actually have a chance to place!"

"That's right, that's right, Wu Dousi and the others made it onto the list of young geniuses, even if they encounter second-year students, they still have the possibility to win!"

Hearing these words, Wu Dousi let out a cold laugh and said, "Just second years, after all, besides that Yue Zhengyu, the rest are nothing special."

In a one-on-one fight, she feared no one!

Xu Yucheng also spoke with a disdainful look, "Right, are four rings that impressive? We have quite a few here too!"

Yang Nianxia nodded as well, "Yeah! Second years have only practiced one more year than us, it's nothing to fuss over."

Gu Yue's face darkened as she narrowed her eyes and said, "These guys, they really don't take the second-year students seriously at all, they are way too arrogant!"

You should know this is Shrek Academy, never lacking monsters!

Tang Wulin shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There's no helping it, their strength is indeed formidable! I fear that Wu Dousi alone is enough to rival an entire team of first years in strength!"

Xie Xie clenched his fists and said, "Humph! I think Gu Yue is right, they are indeed too arrogant! It's as if they're saying they are stronger than us!"

Wang Jinxi's expression turned unsightly as he said, "Even though I don't want to admit it, it seems like the truth, Xu Yucheng, Wu Dousi, and that Zheng Yiran have all reached four rings, and the chances of them taking a place are big indeed!"

Seeing this, Xu Sheng standing on the lectern glanced at Wu Dousi and her group with his ink-colored eyes and spoke indifferently, "Oh? So you're confident about securing a place?"

Confidence appeared on Wu Dousi's cheeks as she nodded and said, "That's right, Teacher Xu, I am very confident in my own strength. Also, I suggest that we participate in this sparring match using the same groups as the recent forging event!"

Hearing this, Xu Sheng showed a gentle smile and praised, "Wu Dousi, as a first-year student, it's very good that you have this kind of thought."

If some accidental factors were disregarded, Wu Dousi's talent might even surpass everyone present!

As soon as he said this, Wu Dousi shuddered slightly, a look of surprise emerging in her heart…

She had originally thought Teacher Xu would favor Gu Yue and the others, but unexpectedly, he took the initiative to praise her!

Especially that gentle demeanor, it made people feel like they were falling slowly…

With a touch of shyness, she said, "Tha-thank you, Teacher Xu, for your affirmation!"

Particularly Luo Guixing and others beside her, their looks towards Gu Yue and the rest were filled with provocation…

It was as if they were saying something!

It seems, Teacher Xu isn't biased towards you guys after all!

Subsequently, Xu Sheng opened his mouth again and said, "However, the teams for the sparring matches will still be formed by everyone themselves, and the final results will be handed to Gu Yue, no objections, right?"

The whole class looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating no objections!

…

After the lesson ended, Shen Yi found Xu Sheng…

Full of curiosity, she asked, "Xu Sheng, why would the academy let first years spar with second years, it's obviously unfair!"

Even with rewards added to the sparring match, the probability of first-year students obtaining them was minuscule!

Xu Sheng pursed his lips slightly and spoke lightly, "Perhaps they just want to enhance the students' real combat abilities. After all, there is a big difference between learning and actual combat."

Hearing his answer, Shen Yi pouted and said, "I think it's to select outstanding students to join the Inner Court!"

Xu Sheng said in surprise, "Why do you think that?"

Shen Yi's Beautiful Eyes fixed with a serious expression, "Now that the Holy Spirit Cult has emerged, we naturally need to accelerate the cultivation of a new generation of talented students! If we wait for them to take action against the academy, it'll be too late!"

Upon hearing her words, Xu Sheng expressed his surprise, "I didn't expect you, Shen Yi, to think of this. It seems I have underestimated you!"

In his perception, the Holy Spirit Cult hadn't made any moves that threatened the Continent yet, but that would likely change soon!

Shen Yi's face darkened, and she said with a sense of grievance, "Are you saying that you've always looked down on me before?"

Xu Sheng was taken aback and said helplessly, "That... was just a joke, Shen Yi, don't take it to heart."

Shen Yi crossed her arms and her cheeks flushed as she said, "Humph, I don't care, Xu Sheng, you must compensate for my psychological trauma!"

Xu Sheng smiled and asked, "How would you like me to compensate you?"

Shen Yi gave a sly smile, brought her finger close to her lips, and said, "Hmm… I haven't thought it through yet, but when the time comes, Xu Sheng, you can't refuse!"

But the next second, their conversation was interrupted by an inappropriate voice…

"Yo, it seems Elder Xu and Teacher Shen are getting along quite well!"

The speaker was a beautiful woman with long, dark green hair, exuding a rich vitality as she walked towards Xu Sheng and Shen Yi…

Indeed, it was Elder Ya'li from the Sea God Pavilion!

With the title "Holy Spirit," a level 99 healing class Ultimate Douluo, her Martial Soul was the extremely rare Wishing Angel!

Upon recognizing the newcomer, Shen Yi's pupils sharply contracted, and she respectfully said, "Saint Soul Douluo!"

Xu Sheng, however, maintained his composure and said, "Elder Ya'li?"

Ya'li nodded slightly, and with a faint smile, said to Shen Yi, "Young Shen Yi, there's no need to be so formal."

Shen Yi paused, then replied as calmly as possible, "Yes, Saint Soul Douluo."

Xu Sheng, on the other hand, got straight to the point, "Elder Ya'li, you must've come to inform us about something?"

Ya'li did not deny it and nodded, "That's right, I'm here to inform you, Elder Xu, of a matter."

Realizing that it would be appropriate for her to leave, Shen Yi quickly said, "Since you're here to see Xu Sheng, I won't disturb your conversation further!"

Ya'li waved her hand and shook her head, "It's not necessary, it's not a matter of great importance!"

Then, she began to speak, "This time, there are two students from the inner court who need to be specially enrolled in the outer court due to regulations, so I intend for them to join Class One."

Xu Sheng calmly responded, "Oh? A special class enrollment?"

It was indeed the first time he had seen inner court students transfer to the outer court!

Ya'li sighed, "That's right, those two children were originally designated as inner court students! Such a pity!!"

Now, to enter the Inner Court, there is an additional criterion: reaching the status of a Two-Word Battle Armor Master.

Otherwise, even if one's talent and strength meet the requirements, it's very difficult to gain entry!

Xu Sheng's dark pupils flickered slightly, "I see, I understand now. Let's have them join Class One, then."

Ya'li inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, "Mm, I'll leave this matter to you, Elder Xu!"
