Chapter 1236: Arrival of Someone from Shrek Academy (Please Subscribe)_1

As he was lost in thought, Yu Zhen stepped forward with a pleased expression, "Teacher Wu, congratulations on breaking through to Soul Sage. With this, the teaching strength of East Sea Academy has risen a level!"

Following behind him, Long Hengxu was also unstinting in his praise, "That's right, that's right. I didn't expect Teacher Wu to break through to Soul Sage before Teacher Xu. Your strength must have improved considerably."

Hearing these admiring words, Teacher Wu simply glanced at them casually, then stood up from the ground and said indifferently, "Principal Yu and Director Long are overpraising."

Although he indeed broke through to Soul Sage before Xu Sheng, he wouldn't foolishly think that his strength could be compared with the latter!

After all, the scene of wiping out a Soul King with a single hand was still deeply etched in his mind...

Hearing this cool response, both Yu Zhen and Long Hengxu were clearly accustomed to it, and their faces showed no displeasure...

Right after, Wu Changkong's gaze turned towards the smiling Xu Sheng, and his expression became serious, "Teacher Xu, even though I know I'm no match for you despite having ascended to Soul Sage, I still want to see how big the gap truly is!"

His nature was arrogant and unyielding. It can be said that before encountering Xu Sheng, there was hardly anyone at the same level who could suppress him!!

At these words, Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Teacher Wu, are you challenging me?"

He genuinely hadn't expected Wu Changkong to propose a duel after experiencing a crushing defeat last time!

This attitude was indeed admirable!

Wu Changkong's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently at Xu Sheng, "That's right, you can think of it that way!"

Xu Sheng chuckled, "Fine, I accept your challenge, but perhaps you should first go and acquire your seventh soul ring, because..."

As he spoke, Xu Sheng suddenly released a shocking oppressive force, and thick Netherworld Ghostvine tendrils materialized out of thin air, covering the entire sky...

Then, slowly seven soul rings appeared beneath his feet...

Black, black, black, black, red, red, red!!

The enormous pressure enveloped the surroundings in an instant, causing everyone including the class zero students and Yu Zhen to break out in a cold sweat...

Yu Zhen swallowed hard, shocked, "Soul... Sage??? When did Teacher Xu break through? And that last soul ring, it's actually a terrifying hundred-thousand-year one!!"

Long Hengxu drew in a sharp breath, "Shh... this is terrifying! Haven't soul beasts been nearly exterminated by us soul masters? How exactly did Teacher Xu kill a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"

Could it be that Teacher Xu had raised a hundred-thousand-year soul beast himself?

Just the thought of that possibility was spine-chilling!

Feeling the strong pressure emanating from Xu Sheng, Wu Changkong clenched his fists tightly, staring fixedly at the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring shining with crimson light, gritting his teeth, "So it is, Teacher Xu. You'd already ascended to Soul Sage..."

At the same time, excitement also surged in his heart...

Perhaps, it was time for him to obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring from the Spirit Pagoda, regardless of the cost!

The students of class zero all gaped, and Wei Xiaofeng rubbed his eyes and said, "Hiss... Teacher Wu just broke through to Soul Sage today, Teacher Xu must have ascended to Soul Sage a long time ago!"

Wang Jinxi nodded, analyzing, "Just now, I thought that with Teacher Wu's ascension to Soul Sage, there might be a chance of victory. Now, it seems that whether in soul power rank or soul ring configuration, Teacher Xu is far superior!"

Xie Xie said with fiery eyes, "Before we depart, to be able to witness another duel between Teacher Wu and Teacher Xu is truly awesome!"

...

Afterward, Wu Changkong quickly went to the Spirit Pagoda to try to obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring...

But the difficulty was too great, and in the end, he failed!

He was forced to settle for a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and after returning to East Sea Academy, he had a duel with Xu Sheng...

As for the result, it was obviously a complete and utter crushing, with Xu Sheng not even needing to unleash his Martial Soul True Body to corner Wu Changkong completely!

Yu Zhen looked at Wu Changkong, who lay on the bed, pale-faced, and shook his head, "Eh! It seems that Teacher Wu will have to stay in bed for a few more days,"

Long Hengxu also took pleasure in Wu's misfortune, "This Teacher Wu really brought it on himself. Why bother dueling with Teacher Xu for no reason?"

Both of them now understood that, whether it was the last duel or this one, Xu Sheng had never been serious!

Otherwise, Wu Changkong wouldn't have lasted a minute against him!

...

On the other hand, the Zero Class students, who had already packed their bags, began to discuss, "Eh, we thought we would see an exciting duel before leaving, but it turned out to be a one-sided sweep by Teacher Xu! That's really boring,"

"Really, it was just a scene of bullying, it made me want to ask Teacher Xu to go easy!"

"Teacher Wu is really unlucky. Even after advancing to Soul Sage, he's still no match for Teacher Xu!"

"What can you do, it's only because our Teacher Xu is too strong!"

Xu Sheng, looking at the students of Zero Class in front of him, smiled and said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this. Has everyone packed up their things?"

Upon hearing this, all members of Zero Class stopped their discussion and nodded together, "Mhm!"

Seeing this, Xu Sheng waved his hand, "Then, while it's still not too late, everyone should head back early!"

Upon hearing these words, a look of reluctance appeared in everyone's eyes...

"Goodbye, Teacher Xu!"

"Teacher Xu, we will miss you!"

"When I come back, I will definitely surprise you with my strength, Teacher Xu!"

"Mhm! When I return, I will work hard to cultivate and strive to break through to three rings!!"

After speaking, they looked at Xu Sheng deeply before leaving one by one...

After everyone had left, Xu Sheng's communicator suddenly made a sound...

After connecting, he asked in a puzzled tone, "Principal, do you need me for something?"

Yu Zhen's unpredictable voice came through, "Teacher Xu, come quickly to the teaching office, there's a teacher from Shrek Academy looking for you."

Upon hearing this, the corner of Xu Sheng's mouth curled upward...

He thought to himself, "Shrek Academy, huh?"

It seemed they had agreed to his terms!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to East Sea Academy in person!

...

"Crack!" With that sound, Xu Sheng pushed open the door and entered the teaching office...

Inside stood Yu Zhen, Long Hengxu, and two other unfamiliar middle-aged men!

Upon seeing Xu Sheng barge in, one of the middle-aged men said icily, "You're Xu Sheng from East Sea Academy?? So rash!"

The other middle-aged man spoke with disdain, "Tsk, seeing him up close, he doesn't seem that impressive after all!!"

"The opponent is even younger than expected. I really don't know if those old teachers have gone senile, to recommend such a guy!"
