Chapter 3433: Approaching
The next day!
Inside the arena!
There were two popular fighters engaged in a fierce battle on the combat stage, exchanging blows, which was quite spectacular...
However, from the audience seats below, sounds of dissatisfaction were spreading...
"What the hell is this? Why are these two no-namers fighting, shouldn't it be Xu Sheng's turn to battle?"
"Yeah, yesterday he won forty matches in a row, and it had my blood boiling. But today they suddenly switch fighters, what's the meaning of this?"
"Hmph, is the arena now playing that hunger marketing game? If so, I refuse to participate!"
"I came to watch the fight just because of Xu Sheng's deeds, but what is the arena doing? Can't you even count the money right?"
"Refund, refund! I have no interest in watching a fight without Xu Sheng. Refund my money immediately!"
Hearing these words, the expressions of the two Soul Masters fighting on the stage also showed some helplessness...
They didn't want to upstage Xu Sheng, but it was an order from the arena. If they wanted to stay, they had no choice but to fight with all their might!
However, no matter how spectacular the fight, they couldn't seem to attract the interest of the audience below...
The host responsible for the match also looked rather displeased...
If a large-scale refund occurred, he, as the host of this battle, would certainly be penalized!
"Damn it, why is it that when others are in charge, it's Xu Sheng's match, but when it's my turn, it changes to someone else? Isn't this just leaving me holding the bag?"
Though he complained inwardly, he couldn't just do nothing in this situation!
He braced himself and said, "Everyone, please calm down. Xu Sheng had something come up today and had to leave the arena, and we don't know when he will come back!"
"However, as soon as we receive any news, we will immediately put him on stage, so please patiently wait!"
But obviously, the collective anger was not so easily appeased!
"To hell with that, we've already waited for a couple of hours, and you want us to wait more? I think you guys just don't want to continue the competition!"
"Bring out Xu Sheng right away, otherwise, we will not be polite. Then, your arena will become a laughingstock!"
"I spent so much money to watch Xu Sheng, and you guys are messing it up like this, it's really treating us viewers as if we don't matter at all!"
"Exactly, keep waiting for your notification, notification my ass, by then who knows how long it will be!"
"Today, if you don't let Xu Sheng compete, I think you guys"
Meanwhile, Xu Sheng, watching the students who had just finished their duel, nodded slightly and said, "Hmm, everyone did very well, that will be all for today's lesson."
True to those who could enter Shrek Academy, the overall quality was indeed quite high!
The students, dripping with sweat, were excited to hear this, "Yay! No more classes for today!"
"Teacher Xu truly understands us, seeing how tired we were from the duel, he even canceled the afternoon's lessons!"
"I would still rather study theoretical knowledge, actual combat is just too exhausting!"
"But I didn't expect there to be so many things to pay attention to in actual combat, the previous teachers never went into detail about how to fight!"
After that, these students all left the duel stage and headed towards the dormitories...
Only Wang Jinxi and his three companions stepped up to Xu Sheng...
They said in unison, "Teacher Xu!"
Xu Sheng looked at them and nodded slightly, "Hmm, aren't you with Tang Wulin and the others?"
Hearing this, Wang Jinxi and the other three looked at each other and shook their heads, "No, Tang Wulin sent us to ask for leave from you, Teacher Xu, though we didn't manage to mention it beforehand!"
Xu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, "Is that so? Then do you know what they went to do?"
Wei Xiaofeng held back a laugh and said, "Them? If nothing unexpected happened, they should be cleaning the outer courtyard!"
Zhang Yangzi shrugged his shoulders and added, "Tang Wulin and the others seem so poor that they don't even have money for food, so they took on a task."
Xu Xiaoyan muttered, "I offered to lend them some money, but they refused..."
Especially that Xie Xie, who even said that I was insulting his character and dignity...
No matter how she explained it, it simply didn't make sense, so she simply didn't offer any more...
Seeing this, Xu Sheng pursed her lips, somewhat helplessly saying, "Is this really their excuse for skipping class?"
To skip class over such a trivial matter, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the time!
…
Meanwhile, Tang Wulin and the others who had just finished cleaning the outer courtyard, all flopped down on the ground...
Xie Xie complained with a pained expression, "Finally... finally done with the cleaning. I'm dead tired, why is this damned academy so huge?"
Although it was just sweeping, and didn't take much physical strength, doing anything this many times could wear one out mentally!
Tang Wulin glanced at him and said, "Stop complaining! At least we got our reward! Now we don't have to worry about our expenses for this week!"
Gu Yue nodded beside him and said indifferently, "Yeah! Just this once, though, from now on we'll rely on your forging technique!"
She didn't want to be the subject of all sorts of stares while cleaning the courtyard either!
Just then, Xu Sheng walked over with Wang Jinxi and the others...
Upon seeing Tang Wulin and the other two, Wei Xiaofeng was the first to tease, "Yo, yo, yo, isn't this Xie Xie? Haven't seen you all morning, why do you look so down?"
Zhang Yangzi also made a jab, "How does it feel to clean the outer courtyard? Tiring, huh? And you even dragged Tang Wulin and the others into your misery!"
Xie Xie glanced at them coldly and retorted, "Shut up, both of you. When you run out of money, you'll end up just like us!"
Tang Wulin and Gu Yue's faces darkened beside him...
Now they were being mocked even for the rewards they earned?
Even though it was a little less than expected...
Wei Xiaofeng extended his index finger and wagged it, boasting, "That's impossible. Even if we run out of money, we can borrow from Xiao Yan."
After saying that, he put his hand on Xu Xiaoyan's shoulder and said softly, "Right, Xiao Yan?"
She pursed her lips and said indifferently, "Not lending!"
Wei Xiaofeng's face froze at the rejection, he complained, "Damn it, Xiao Yan, is our friendship not worth that much money?"
Hearing that, Xu Xiaoyan's beautiful eyes sparkled as she replied, "Then, can I choose to exchange our friendship for federation coins?"
Wei Xiaofeng covered his forehead and sighed, "It's fading... the affection is fading. Xu Xiaoyan, doing this will make you lose me as a companion!"
After a brief exchange of teasing, Tang Wulin and the other two finally turned their gaze to Xu Sheng, saying somewhat sheepishly, "Teacher Xu..."
Seeing their expression, Xu Sheng naturally understood why and chuckled, "Three silly kids, didn't you know to come to your teacher when you're out of money?"
Hearing this, Tang Wulin and the others had their eyes brimming with deep emotion...
Then, Xie Xie stared intently at Xu Sheng, eagerly asking, "Teacher Xu, does this mean you're planning to..."
