Chapter 1282: Distracted Control (Subscribe Please)_1

Looking at Principal Yu Zhen, who was still speaking earnestly on the stage, the students below all showed expressions of boredom…

A male student shook his head with a sigh, "Ah, the opening ceremony is surprisingly similar every time — so boring, and so much nonsense!"

The male student beside him nodded in agreement, "Yeah! Just get on with the opening ceremony, say a few words, and that's that. Why ramble on so much when hardly anyone is listening!"

"It's just a waste of time! I really want to just walk out!"

"I just hope Principal Yu finishes quickly. My legs are going numb from standing!"

Clearly, these lengthy and meaningless speeches had made the lively students even more impatient…

Long Hengxu, who observed every student's expression, immediately said to Yu Zhen, who was still speaking with fervor, "Principal Yu, that should be enough. The students are no longer patient to listen. Let's talk about the activities instead!"

This remark brought Yu Zhen back to reality. After coughing a few times, he said sternly, "I've said so much to encourage you all to train harder in the new term!"

"In addition, to boost your motivation, after discussing with the teachers, we've decided to hold a competition of teams of three, no matter the grade!"

After pausing, he raised his voice again and said, "Of course, there will be rewards for the competition. The top three teams will get a chance to enter the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform and win a free soul spirit ranging from a 10-year soul ring to a thousand-year soul ring!"

At these words, all the students of East Sea Academy became excited…

The whole field was immediately drowned in a tumult of noisy discussions…

"Did I hear that right? This opening ceremony is actually not just going through the motions as usual?"

"That's not the point! To be in the top three in the competition means you get a chance to use the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform and get a free Spirit Soul!!"

"Charge! We've got to give it a shot! If we're lucky and get into the top three, we'll make a fortune!"

"But isn't this unfair to us lower-grade students?"

"Unfair my ass. Didn't you know that the zero class of lower-grade students beat the high-grade ones at the last Skysea Alliance tournament?"

And the calmest of all were the students of the zero class…

They already had the opportunity to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform once every week, so they weren't too excited!

Wei Xiaofeng clicked his tongue, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, the academy is really bleeding money with this one!"

A chance at the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform and a free Spirit Soul might seem like modest rewards, but their value is quite expensive!

Just one entry to the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform would cost several hundred thousand or even a million federation coins!!

And besides, it's the top three, meaning nine people will get these prizes!

Zhang Yangzi also expressed his envy, "Indeed, the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform is something even we haven't used!"

Gu Yue commented indifferently, "It must be for the higher-grade students. The lower-grade Spirit Ascension Platforms aren't much use to them anymore!"

Xie Xie then suggested, "Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan, you two have just become second-ring Grand Soul Masters, right? This is the perfect chance to participate in the competition and snag a free Spirit Soul!"

Especially for Tang Wulin, his circumstances simply didn't allow him to personally afford a suitable Spirit Soul!

This comment made Tang Wulin's light blue eyes suddenly brighten…

Right, isn't this a great opportunity?

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan shook her head and explained, "My... My family has already prepared a Spirit Soul for me!"

As she spoke, she released her Martial Soul, and two yellow Centennial Soul Rings appeared under her feet…

This sight silenced the just-excited Tang Wulin…

Clenching his fists, he gritted his teeth and said resentfully, "Damn it! Is this the advantage of having a family? Not even having to worry about a Spirit Soul!"

And then, Teacher Xu's voice came from behind them…

"What are you all talking about?"

Seeing the sudden appearance of Xu Sheng, the members of Class Zero all said in unison, "Teacher Xu!"

Xie Xie spoke first, "We were just discussing participating in this duel! After all, the rewards are so tempting!"

Wang Jinxi nodded, "That's right, especially that Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, which we've never experienced before! And now that we don't need a Spirit Soul, it would be good to save it for the next breakthrough!"

Gu Yue frowned her beautiful eyes, "This duel is in teams of three, and there are seven of us here. If we all participate, one person will have to..."

Xu Sheng's dark eyes looked toward Gu Yue and smiled, "Then Gu Yue, you won't participate in this duel."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue was stunned...

Just as she was about to ask why, another sentence rang out...

"Your element control is very strong, but you're not able to multitask with your mind. Therefore, I will personally instruct you."

Back then, Ning Rongrong could simultaneously amplify different Soul Masters because she had cultivated the Seven-orifice Exquisite Core of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!

Though it sounds grand, it's actually just a unique method of control!

After coming back to her senses, Gu Yue earnestly said, "I understand, Teacher Xu!"

If, as Teacher Xu said, she could reach the level of multitasking with the mind, then her strength could definitely go up another notch!

Far more worthwhile than participating in this so-called duel!

As for Tang Wulin and the others, they also breathed a sigh of relief...

At the moment Xu Sheng blurted out, they thought she was intentionally targeting Gu Yue!

Who knew she wanted to personally instruct her!

At the same time, they couldn't help but feel a bit envious!

Wei Xiaofeng wailed, "Damn it! I wish Teacher Xu would instruct me one on one too!"

Wang Jinxi said fervently, "Yeah! Teacher Xu gave Tang Wulin special training, and that guy improved four or five levels in one month! It's simply monstrous!"

Xie Xie clenched his teeth, "If Gu Yue also gets instructed, her strength will definitely improve a lot!"

All at once, they felt that the academy's duel rewards weren't so appealing anymore!

Seeing the Class Zero students' reactions, Xu Sheng couldn't help but laugh, "Don't be envious. If there really is something worth improving, I will instruct each of you."

...

Afterward, Xu Sheng called Gu Yue to a secluded place, while the other Class Zero students went to participate in the academy's duel!

She took a few steps back and looked at Gu Yue calmly, "Gu Yue, do your best to attack me continuously with controlled elements!"

Seeing this, Gu Yue hesitated, "Teacher, this... doesn't seem right?"

Hearing the concern in her voice, Xu Sheng laughed softly, "It's okay, just do your best. I'm not so easily injured. Otherwise, how could I be your teacher?"

Gu Yue took a deep breath, and her beautiful eyes gradually became serious...

"I understand! Teacher Xu."
