The dazzling soul rings of the white clothed man rose up from his feet one by one. There were actually 7 of them!
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black! 7 ring level 70 soul saint!
He was already approaching the peak of soul masters! Furthermore, he only looked to be around thirty years old. Only, the vicissitudes visible within his eyes didn't match his youthful outer appearance.
Seeing the seven soul rings, the students were shocked as they stared at the white clothed man with wide eyes.
Random student number 1 :"it's a soul sage!"
Random student number 2 :"Look, he actually has 7 soul rings even though he's so young!"
Random student number 3 :"he must be a very powerful expert in the academy!"
Ali couldn't help but smile smugly. After all, such a young looking soul sage was deemed a very powerful expert by these children, yet his lover who wasn't even 20 was already a level 72 soul sage with 7 hundred thousand year soul rings!
These kids would probably faint directly if they saw her release her soul rings. The white clothed man raised his hands, and a gentle shade of green, a leaf, suddenly began to grow from his palms.
His seventh soul ring flashed brightly as it revolved around him, but the students were only able to see his body flash once before it unexpectedly disappeared!
The green leaf grew wildly, and in the blink of an eye, the leaf unexpectedly turned into an enormous tree that was extremely tall!
A cool breeze seemed to blow past them. Then, dark green leaves began to fly out from the enormous canopy of the enormous tree.
Exactly ninety-one leaves landed lightly on the bodies of the students from Class 1; not one more, and not one less.
Every single person felt an incomparably refreshing feeling. The refreshing feeling instantly spread throughout their bodies, and no matter whether it was their aching muscles or the wounds that had been incurred by the chainmail grating against their skin, they were all recovering at an astonishing speed.
Furthermore, their physical strength was gradually recovering a drop at a time. Only their soul power was completely empty; it was left completely unaffected by the dark green leaf.
Aside from Ali, Wang Dong had the highest cultivation amongst everyone present, and was also the first person to recover after Ali.
He flipped over and sat up before looking at the extremely tall tree with a burning gaze. He took a deep breath of the cool air :"This...
This is one of the pinnacle existences amongst plant type martial souls: The Tree of Life! It's a seventieth ranked martial soul with a Soul Avatar!
Teacher Zhou is really generous! She actually found a plant type soul master above the seventieth rank to heal us and help us recover!"
Ali smirked at him as he raised an eyebrow :"didn't I tell you so? Teacher Zhou isn't a bad teacher, she is just strict."
The dark green light shrouded the area. After releasing ninety-one tree leaves, the enormous tree rapidly shrunk and transformed back into the white-clothed male in the blink of an eye.
Afterwards, he nodded at Zhou Yi, who bowed respectfully towards him. That male left in the same way he'd arrived, like a gust of wind. From the start to end, he hadn't said a word to Zhou Yi at all.
The students crawled up one after another. Although they were still exhausted, they felt an indescribable pleasure from their bodies breaking through their limits.
Random student number 1 :"my strength has been revived!"
Random student number 2 :"it's amazing. In just a little bit, he healed all of us."
Random student number 3 :"it's an eye opener today!"
Seeing that Yuhao had also recovered from his half dazed state, Ali stood up and held out his hands for the two with a smile :"c'mon, you two, get up. It's not good to sit on the rough ground."
The two looked at each other before chuckling with smiles as they grabbed Ali's beautiful and delicate hand before he pulled them up without any problems.
Zhou Yi, who had walked towards the Shrek Plaza, gazed at all the students who were slowly crawling up and indifferently said :"I have to say, you all have given me an answer that astonished me quite a bit. Today, nobody will be eliminated."
Once she said this, the students couldn't help but immediately let out a cheer, especially the few who'd run the least number of laps, who felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their minds.
Zhou Yi let them have this moment for a few seconds, and after they calmed down, she continued :"You all need to thank Huo Yuhao.
Originally, I was prepared to give you all a punishment. The task that I gave you all was for you to run until the bell rang, and then we'd count the number of laps each of you ran.
However, other than Huo Yuhao and Ashborne Ali, none of you managed to run from the start to the end.
However, since you were able to actually develop a sense of competition because of him, you don't have to have a punishment. Ali, step forward."
"Yes, yes." Ali replied nonchalantly and stepped forward to listen to Zhou Yi indifferent voice :"As the class monitor of Class 1, you only cared about yourself, you didn't set a good example for others.
From now on, you're stripped of your position of class monitor, which will be taken over by Yuhao. Until the next physical class, Yuhao will be the class monitor of Class 1. If anyone wants to challenge him, you're in charge of accepting them. Understood?"
Ali rolled his eyes, not because of losing the position of the class monitor. He actually didn't want that role to begin with.
The only reason why he accepted it is because he knew that Yuhao would get it in the end. If he had refused, Wang Dong would've gotten the place.
But the relationship between Yuhao and Wang Dong isn't as good as in the original, so he didn't want there to be any tough feelings between the two.
That's why he accepted it in the first place. The reason why he rolled his eyes is because he knew that Zhou Yi knew that he wouldn't care about others from the get go.
But she still selected him as the class monitor because of his soul power level being the highest in class.
However, he nodded with a small smile and gave a two finger salute :"yes, ma'am, understood. You hear that?! I have a legitimate reason to throw these hands if you mess with Yuhao from now on!"
The students shivered in fright as Ali turned to them with a mean smile and swung his fist around a few times.
But they didn't need to be warned, since they weren't planning on bothering Yuhao or making fun of him from now on.
Zhou Yi nodded nonchalantly, but Ali still noticed a small smirk on the corner of her lips :"Disperse.
Take your set of chainmail with you. Tomorrow, another teacher will be having a class on theory with you all.
I suggest that you meditate well as you digest the improvements and the significance of today's physical class. My next class will be in the afternoon, the day after next. At that time, I hope that I won't see any trash."
"Yes." The students all simultaneously agreed. However, they didn't randomly disperse afterwards. Instead, they collectively charged towards Yuhao and suddenly threw him into the sky!
Random student number 1 :"thank you, class monitor!"
Random student number 2 :"so nice, no one was dropped out!"
To these youths, excitement and happiness was something extremely straightforward. Because of Yuhao, nobody was eliminated, and they had even been able to avoid their punishment. Thus, at least during this moment, Yuhao was their hero.
Furthermore, after the difficult and painful class, Teacher Zhou had found that miraculous plant type soul sage to heal all of them and help them recover, which made them understand the strength of a high ranked soul master.
After the pain in their bodies had disappeared, their ill will towards Teacher Zhou had, imperceptibly, decreased by a large amount.
As the students cheered, Ali and Wang Dong smiled on the side without joining in. After all, if either of these two had failed today, you might've as well just expelled the entire class 1.
The students continued to be rowdy for another ten minutes or so, all the way until the students from other classes had finished their classes too.
Only then did they stop and start heading back to their individual dorms to clean themselves up. Their current appearances were truly too haggard.
Ali, Wang Dong and Yuhao all returned directly to the dorm with their chainmail still on. While walking, Ali groaned in dissatisfaction :"this chainmail feels really freaking annoying. It's too uncomfortable, I wouldn't be surprised if it left marks on my skin."
As he spoke, he took off each and every piece before putting them inside his storage ring. He sighed in relief and let out a satisfied groan :"that's more like it~."
But hearing him groaning like that, which almost sounded like a moan, Wang Dong couldn't help but blush a little.
He quickly tried to change the subject so he wouldn't be noticed and made fun of :"we seriously have to clean ourselves up after we get back. We seriously stink."
Ali snorted with a smirk as he clasped his hands behind him :"speak about yourself, buddy. I may be sweaty, but I'm never stinky. Even my sweat smells nice."
Wang Dong's face twitched in annoyance before he got closer while bending a little and sniffed Ali :"no way, I don't believe that... Whoa... You do actually smell nice even though you're so sweaty!"
Yuhao raised an eyebrow before he also got closer and bent a little :"sniff sniff, yeah, you're right! Brother Ali actually has such a nice and sweet smell!"
However, Wang Dong was annoyed with Yuhao smelling Ali. So he put his hand on his face and pushed him away :"hey, you're being weird! What are you doing smelling someone when they're sweaty?"
Yuhao raised a confused eyebrow at him :"YOU were the one who smelled brother Ali first, Wang Dong."
Ali looked at Wang Dong with amusement as he tried to come up with an excuse :"w-well... I... R-right! Me and Ali are roommates, so it's fine for me to do it! But you can't, it's weird when you do it! So don't do it from now on!"
Ali couldn't help but chuckle at the jealous Wang Dong as Yuhao rolled his eyes :"weirdo. Fine, whatever, let's just go and shower..."
Just as he finished speaking, he realized something as he glanced at Ali :"Brother Ali, are you planning on showering in the boys bathroom...?"
Ali tilted his head with mock confusion :"well duh. Where else am I gonna clean myself? I can't go to the girls' bathrooms."
When Wang Dong realized that if Ali goes to the shower, other guys will see his private areas, he immediately got jealous and possessive.
He shook his head in denial as he looked at Ali :"no! No, you're not going to shower in the guys' bathroom!"
Ali obviously knew the reason why Wang Dong refused to let him shower in the guys' bathroom, but he still wanted to tease him.
So he raised a confused and questioning eyebrow at the taller boy :"and why, exactly? Again, how am I going to clean myself otherwise?"
Wang Dong's mind raced for ideas before a light bulb flashed in his head and he smiled at Ali :"a-a basin! We will bring a basin of water to our room and you can use it to clean yourself without any problems! That way, you won't need to shower in the guys' bathroom!"
