After reading that sentence, all the students in Class Zero were stunned...
Wei Xiaofeng's mouth twitched as he said, "Spiritual power too strong for the device to measure? Come on, does it have to be that exaggerated!"
They just wanted a feast for their eyes, but who knew the device wouldn't give them a chance! It just smoked and broke down!
Xie Xie furrowed his brow and said, "I heard that this kind of device can perfectly measure even a Title Douluo's spiritual power, so why can't it measure Teacher Xu's spiritual strength?"
Zhang Yangzi's eyes gleamed as he said, "Do we even need to think about it? It must be because Teacher Xu has surpassed the Title Douluos in terms of spiritual power!"
Wang Jinxi nodded in agreement and said, "Agreed! Although Teacher Xu is only a Soul Emperor, his Soul Ring Configuration includes four Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, which is no weaker than a Title Douluo. It's not impossible for his spiritual power to be greater than theirs!"
Tang Wulin rubbed his nose, pondering, "I think it's more likely that it broke. Even though Teacher Xu is very powerful, there's still a big gap between a Soul Emperor and a Title Douluo!"
In his heart, he still felt it was more likely that the academy's device had malfunctioned, considering the vast difference in levels between a Soul Emperor and a Title Douluo, even if Xu Sheng had an extremely abnormal Soul Ring Configuration!
Only Gu Yue's delicate face betrayed a thoughtful expression...
Suddenly, a few sharp glints appeared in her beautiful eyes...
She had just realized that in Xu Sheng's duel with Wu Changkong, neither soul rings nor soul skills ever revealed any Spirit Soul!
This meant that those soul rings were absorbed after the slaying of soul beasts!
In plain terms...
Teacher Xu, he might have been capable of slaying hundred-thousand-year soul beasts when he was only at the level of Four Rings Soul Ancestor!!!
Upon this realization, Gu Yue's eyes filled with shock...
If he were to reach the Title Douluo level, perhaps no one could stand against him!!
Xu Sheng, who was sitting next to the device, stood up, casually glanced at the device with his dark eyes, and felt a bit helpless inside...
The spiritual power testing devices from this Lower Realm could only withstand so much, indeed a disappointment!
Not to mention, he hadn't even infused one percent of his spiritual power into it, and the device was already on the verge of collapse!
If he had actually infused it, the result would have been obvious!
After shaking his head to discard these thoughts, he smiled at Tang Wulin and the others, softly saying, "Alright, everyone quiet down."
As his words fell, the students of Class Zero ceased their discussions, turning their gazes towards Xu Sheng, waiting for what was next...
Then the latter patted the device and explained with humor, "The result of the test just now, you can all just take it as a joke. This device is probably malfunctioning, after all, I have no idea my spiritual power was so exaggerated!"
Hearing this explanation, Wei Xiaofeng's face showed a hint of disappointment as he sighed, "Eh, so it really was a problem with the device? And here I thought Teacher Xu's spiritual power was truly terrifying!"
Zhang Yangzi replied irritably, "What are you sighing for? Even so, Teacher Xu's spiritual power definitely isn't low, otherwise why would it only malfunction after it was his turn!"
Wang Jinxi stated firmly, "No matter what, Teacher Xu is the strongest in my eyes!"
Xie Xie, who wasn't fond of Xu Sheng, just snorted disdainfully upon hearing this...
Undeniably, Xu Sheng's strength was indeed formidable, at least within East Sea Academy!
But outside of East Sea Academy, that meant nothing!
As for being the strongest, please, don't make me laugh!
Tang Wulin let out a sigh of relief, inwardly saying, "So it was indeed an issue with the device, seems like I guessed right!"
He had thought so, the spiritual power of Teacher Xu, a Six-Ringed Soul Emperor, couldn't possibly be stronger than that of a Title Douluo!
However, his eye corner just caught Gu Yue, who was lost in thought, and with curiosity, he said, "Huh? Gu Yue, why are you spacing out?"
Gu Yue returned to her senses and flashed Tang Wulin a smile. "It's nothing, just haven't quite gotten over what just happened. But since Teacher Xu has explained it, that must be the case."
She didn't vocalize her conjecture because there was no need!
Since Teacher Xu has spoken in such a manner, it certainly meant he did not wish for the students of class Zero to know!
Just then, Xu Sheng spoke up again, interrupting them, "Now that everyone understands, we will begin testing various aspects of your physical qualities!"
"First up, Wang Jinxi…"
...…
Inside the Academic Affairs Office!
Yu Zhen and Long Hengxu both looked skeptically at Xu Sheng standing before them. Yu Zhen narrowed his eyes and said, "Teacher Xu, are you sure that our spiritual power testing device broke on its own?"
Why was he so hard to convince?
The device had never malfunctioned since its costly procurement by the academy!
After all, there were no Titled Douluos or stronger experts within East Sea Academy!
Long Hengxu coughed softly, "Ahem… Teacher Xu, if it was accidentally damaged by you, you can simply admit it. The Principal and I won't blame you."
Perhaps Teacher Xu damaged the device and was too embarrassed to admit the truth, opting to conceal the fact instead!
He simply wanted to offer him a way to save face!
After all, fixing a device wasn't such a big deal!
Hearing their doubtful remarks, Xu Sheng spread his hands, somewhat helplessly admitting, "Alright, I confess, the device broke while testing my spiritual power."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhen couldn't help but furrow his brow and said seriously, "Teacher Xu, can we not joke around? We are asking you a serious question here!"
Broken while testing spiritual power? That answer was even more preposterous than the previous one!
The device was designed to withstand the spiritual power of a Titled Douluo! How could it possibly break so easily!
He wasn't actually interested in how it broke, nor did he wish to investigate, but Xu Sheng's response had definitely lowered his impression of him!
Seeing the atmosphere turn a bit awkward, Long Hengxu forced a laugh and said, "Um, Teacher Xu, let the Principal and me handle this. You can go and start your class. The coursework for class Zero can't afford to be delayed!"
Xu Sheng did not wish to continue explaining and simply acknowledged with an indifferent "Hmm" before leaving the Academic Affairs Office…
Only then did Yu Zhen turn his gaze towards Long Hengxu, "Director Long, why did you send Teacher Xu away? I am not really…"
Long Hengxu replied with a bitter smile, "Principal, don't I know your character? But it's quite possible Teacher Xu is concerned about face and doesn't want to admit it. Let's not pressure him!"
As they were conversing, a cold voice resounded...
"No need to wonder, the device indeed broke while Xu Sheng was testing his spiritual power."
They saw Wu Changkong's proud silhouette, which had appeared in the Academic Affairs Office at some unknown time!
Yu Zhen and Long Hengxu startled, exclaimed in unison, "Teacher Wu? How do you know this?"
Wu Changkong glanced at them both and said coldly, "I saw it with my own eyes!"
He could still recall the near explosion of the device, unable to withstand Xu Sheng's spiritual power!!
That man's true strength was certainly not on the same level as his own!!
