Chapter 1230: The Only Turning Point (Please Subscribe)_1

```

Hearing his words, the members of Class Zero nodded in agreement...

Wei Xiaofeng immediately sprawled out on the spacious sofa in a starfish pose and sighed, "You're right, we might as well enjoy the luxury while we can, especially since the Skysea Alliance Tournament only lasts for three days!"

Wang Jinxi also picked up a fruit and remarked, "Hmm! Staying in a high-end hotel for free for three days is already pretty good, and this fruit is really sweet too!"

Xu Xiaoyan blinked her beautiful eyes and explained, "That's a Droplet Fruit; it seems to enhance the cultivation speed of Soul Masters to some extent!"

Surprised, Wang Jinxi said, "Really? There's such a good thing, then Tang Wulin should hurry up and eat it!"

As expected, Tang Wulin, who had the lowest soul power rank in Class Zero, began to gobble down the food as if eating it would lead to an immediate breakthrough!

Xie Xie held his forehead, feeling utterly embarrassed by the scene, and proposed, "Look, Tang Wulin, could you please have some dignity? No one's competing with you and, besides, eating too much of it won't stack the effects!"

Tang Wulin rolled his eyes at the comment and retorted, "Why didn't you say that earlier!"

Arms crossed, Xie Xie responded, "You didn't ask me! That's what you get for not paying attention in class!"

However, Gu Yue turned her gaze toward Teacher Xu and said with a serious tone, "Teacher Xu, I have something I'd like to ask you!"

Hearing her, everyone else also stopped what they were doing and looked over, curious about what she would ask...

Teacher Xu replied with a smile, "Gu Yue, what do you want to ask? If it's about a romantic partner, I'm afraid I can't disclose anything."

Gu Yue's expression darkened, and she said helplessly, "Um... Teacher Xu, it's not appropriate for you to say that to me."

Her question wasn't even remotely related to that topic!

Wei Xiaofeng smacked his lips and said, "I didn't expect our Teacher Xu to be so narcissistic."

Zhang Yangzi shrugged his shoulders, "No helping it, with Teacher Xu's looks and strength, there must be plenty of women after her! It'd be outrageous if she's still single."

Disdainfully, Xie Xie added, "Teacher Xu, you couldn't possibly be eyeing Gu Yue, could you? With her fiery temper, I think Xu Xiaoyan would be a better fit!"

But as soon as he finished his sentence, he received a deadly glare from Gu Yue...

And Xu Xiaoyan's cheeks reddened a little, muttering, "Xie Xie, don't talk nonsense, I just think Teacher Xu is very reliable!"

In her heart, she simply felt a sense of security being around Teacher Xu, with no other feelings...

The smile faded from Teacher Xu's face, and he looked at Gu Yue seriously, "Alright, no more joking around. Gu Yue, what did you want to say?"

Gu Yue nodded and said solemnly, "Yes! I want to know what you think about the Skysea Alliance Tournament, Teacher Xu."

Teacher Xu raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"

Realizing her question was somewhat vague, Gu Yue coughed and added, "I mean, Teacher Xu, what sort of ranking do you think our Class Zero can achieve in the Skysea Alliance Tournament?"

Teacher Xu's dark eyes sharpened, and after some thought, he said, "Based on our coordination today, we should be able to achieve a rank around tenth. If we can perform above our standard, even the top three isn't out of the question!"

Upon hearing this, all the members of Class Zero's faces lit up with joy...

They believed in Teacher Xu's judgment, at least they wouldn't have to worry about being at the bottom!

No... actually, they weren't at the bottom after winning the first round!

Yet, Gu Yue's face remained grave as she asked, "Teacher Xu, isn't there any other way?"

Even a slim chance at the top three was too unsatisfactory for her!

With her words, the atmosphere in the room immediately grew tense...

The joyful expressions on Tang Wulin and the others' faces gradually faded...

Yes, they were Class Zero from East Sea Academy; they couldn't let a single win go to their heads...

```

If you're only willing to settle for a ranking in the teens, you might as well leave now!

Seeing the change in their expressions, Xu Sheng picked up a cup of tea from the table, sipped it lightly, and then leisurely said, "Actually, if you want to make it into the top three of the competition, it's not difficult even if the opponents are from the senior grades!"

The highest strength of those in the senior grades is merely three rings, so it's not impossible to defeat!

They asked eagerly, "Teacher Xu, what should we do?"

"I don't want to be ranked in the teens—that's practically the same as being last, isn't it?"

"Since you've said so much, Teacher Xu, why not reveal what's on your mind?"

"Yes, Teacher Xu, you're making us so curious with your words, but you offer no proof!"

The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth rose, "The method to secure a place in the top three is very simple—that is, the Soul Fusion Skill! This is your only flipping point against the senior grades."

Of course, if luck is on your side, you might have a chance to win!

But the likelihood is small!

Wang Jinxi narrowed his eyes and said, "Teacher Xu, the Soul Fusion Skill you mentioned—is it between me and Gu Yue, or with Yang Zi?"

He couldn't forget how his Martial Soul nearly got ruined after using the Soul Fusion Skill with Gu Yue!

The thought of using it again made him somewhat reluctant!

Xu Sheng shook his head and refused, "No, not with Gu Yue, nor with Zhang Yang Zi."

Wang Jinxi frowned and said, "If it's neither of them, then who could it be..."

Before he could finish, Xu Sheng interrupted, "You all know that Tang Wulin has a second Martial Soul, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in Class Zero, except for Xie Xie, shook their heads to indicate they didn't know...

The next second, Gu Yue's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up...

She had felt a strange, intimate connection with Tang Wulin the very first time she entered East Sea Academy!

Could it be that Teacher Xu was implying that she and Tang Wulin could deploy a Soul Fusion Skill?

Tang Wulin, the person in question, said with a gloomy face,"Well, teacher, now everyone knows..."

Xu Sheng waved his hand and awkwardly said, "It's fine, let everybody know. It's not a big secret anyway. Tang Wulin's second Martial Soul is of the dragon type, and its bloodline should be even stronger than that of Wang Jinxi's Bone Dragon King!"

"So, you might as well give it a try..."

Just at that moment, the door suddenly swung open, and in walked Wu Longkong with an icy expression, coldly saying, "Teacher Xu, the possibility you mentioned earlier won't succeed!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the students of Class Zero exclaimed, "Teacher Wu?? What brings you here?"

"Isn't Teacher Xu the one in charge of this year's Skysea Alliance competition? Is Teacher Wu here by himself?"

"It's unexpected to see Teacher Wu here, but why did you just negate what Teacher Xu said?"

Hearing this, Wu Longkong, not sure whether he talked to the students of Class Zero or to Xu Sheng, said, "This situation has only occurred once in tens of thousands of years. It requires an extremely high level of mutual understanding. How could it be so simple to achieve?"

"Teacher Xu, your thinking is way too naive!"
