The sight below the duel platform elicited exclamations from the female cadets, "Hiss... Is that a teacher from East Sea Academy? He's so handsome!"
"What to do, what to do, I'm almost enchanted. Does anyone know how to transfer schools? I want to go to East Sea Academy!"
"Dream on, I heard that teacher only teaches the zero class at East Sea Academy and has just seven students!"
As for the teachers from other academies, their faces turned green with envy...
After all, these students were making such comments right in front of them. Wasn't this a blatant slap in the face?
Countless resentful and complicated gazes converged on Xu Sheng at that moment.
The referee responsible for announcing the results came back to his senses and declared fervently, "For this round, East Sea Academy wins! Please draw the next..."
After Xu Sheng had carried Gu Yue down from the platform, Wang Jinxi and the others crowded around...
Tang Wulin asked anxiously, "Teacher Xu, is Gu Yue alright?"
Xie Xie also voiced his concern urgently, "Yes, Teacher Xu, there shouldn't be any problems with Gu Yue, right? Like after-effects or something!"
Wang Jinxi said with a face full of guilt, "If we had known, we wouldn't have left her up there alone on the platform. How infuriating!"
Xu Sheng, upon hearing these words, glanced at Gu Yue in his arms and spoke gently, "Rest assured, Gu Yue is fine. By analyzing the trauma of the Soul Fusion Skill on herself, we minimized the damage. She's exhausted her Soul Power right now, and there's no major issue!"
Upon hearing this, everyone finally let out a sigh of relief, "Phew..."
It was a relief that she was alright; if something bad had happened, they wouldn't know how to forgive themselves!
Suddenly, Teacher Xu's Beautiful Eyes revealed a hint of confusion, and out of curiosity, she asked, "By the way, Teacher Xu, when you left with people from the Skysea Alliance, they didn't do anything to you, did they?"
Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "Do something? What do you mean?"
Xu Xiaoyan's cheeks flushed a bit as she muttered, "I mean... just... like... did they subject you to intense interrogation or something..."
Xu Sheng couldn't help but laugh at the words, freed one hand to ruffle her hair, and said softly, "Don't overthink it, it was just a normal inquiry."
Xu Xiaoyan's cheeks turned even redder, "I see..."
Her gaze lingered on Gu Yue in Xu Sheng's arms, filled with a touch of envy...
After all, hadn't she herself once lain in Teacher Xu's arms like that? Regrettably, she hadn't cherished those moments enough!
Xie Xie coughed into his hand, "Cough cough... Teacher Xu, I think you should be aware of your own charm. Xu Xiaoyan's face is as hot as a frying pan!"
Wei Xiaofeng, not one to shy from stirring the pot, chimed in, "Exactly, exactly. I wonder when I, Wei Xiaofeng, can lie in Teacher Xu's arms?"
Wang Jinxi's mouth curled into a smile, "Isn't that simple? Face a Martial Soul Fusion Skill on your own, and you might just get the chance!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat, and he wiped his forehead, "Let's not, I want to live a few more years."
After all, he didn't possess Gu Yue's spatial abilities, and facing such a challenge head-on, he might just end up slashed in two by the Golden Mantis!
Xu Sheng merely smiled at these teasing remarks, then proceeded to infuse a few strands of Divine Power into Gu Yue in his arms!
Yet, this strand of Divine Power seemed to resonate with the bloodline of the Silver Dragon King within her, and her wounds started to heal at a terrifying speed...
In just a few seconds, a blue glow radiated from Gu Yue's body...
Gu Yue's heavy eyelids lifted slightly, revealing her spirited Beautiful Eyes...
Then, as if sensing her surroundings, she quickly looked around her, startled...
She soon noticed the Zero Class looking intently at her!
Xie Xie spoke with a smile, "Gu Yue, how is it? Is it comfortable in Teacher Xu's arms?"
Zhang Yangzi also voiced his doubt, "Wasn't Gu Yue's Soul Power exhausted? I didn't expect her to wake up so quickly!"
```
Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes and said, "That icy blue light just now, it seems so familiar..."
How could he feel that Gu Yue's physique was similar to his own, with her body suddenly emitting a burst of light when she was severely injured, then significantly healing the wounds!
Hearing those teasing voices, Gu Yue's tone involuntarily softened a lot, and she said with some difficulty, "Teacher Xu... my injuries have healed quite a bit, can you... put me down now?"
With a slight smile, Xu Sheng loosened his hold and let her down...
Once her feet touched the ground, Gu Yue's cheeks blushed just like Xu Xiaoyan's before, completely red...
She expressed her gratitude, "Just now... thank you, Teacher Xu."
She had thought she would be lying on the duel stage, but Xu Sheng had caught her steadily...
HIs dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he said tenderly, "What are you thanking me for? It was your merit that Class Zero was able to win this duel!"
It could be said that Gu Yue had turned around a fight that was destined for defeat...
Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi both nodded in agreement with this statement!
Wu Changkong, watching this scene from the shadows, pursed his lips and then stepped away...
He had nothing to say, as Gu Yue had made all the right decisions in the duel, aside from having the teammates leave the stage!
…
In the following duels, the Skysea Alliance competition determined the top eight!
If they could place among the top few in the competition, they might catch the eye of Shrek Academy and be given the chance to join the outer court despite the norms!
At this moment, in the hotel where Class Zero was staying...
Tang Wulin said with a serious face, "Tomorrow we will have to face the senior students, and the situation is likely to be even worse than today!"
Xie Xie echoed, "Yes! We can't rule out that some of these senior students might also be able to use Soul Fusion Skills!"
If they weren't careful, very likely it would be like today!
But relying on Gu Yue alone to drag out a victory was practically impossible!
Zhang Yangzi turned his gaze to Xu Sheng, who had an indifferent expression, "Then how should we arrange for tomorrow's match? Teacher Xu, do you have a plan?"
Xu Sheng said in surprise, "Hm? A plan? Haven't I told you before? If you want to beat the senior students, unless you are lucky or have strong personal strength, the only chance of winning is to depend on the Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
Wasn't he clear enough?
If it were Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Wang Jinxi, the chances of success would be very high!
Hearing this, the corners of Class Zero's mouths all twitched a few times...
How could they feel a strong sense of unreliability from his words...
Suddenly, they thought that what Wu Changkong had said before made a lot of sense!
They shouldn't listen to Teacher Xu and pin all their hopes on this nebulous possibility...
They would rather win the duel through real combat!
