Hearing this, numerous students all inhaled sharply...
"Hiss... Youming Devil Vine, why do I always feel that this Martial Soul's name sounds so much like an Evil Martial Soul?"
"Idiot, if it really was an Evil Martial Soul, how could Teacher Xu still serve as a teacher at our East Sea Academy!"
"I didn't expect Teacher Xu to be the terrifying Soul Emperor, and even stronger than Class Five's Teacher Wu! That means the strongest teacher at East Sea Academy is the headteacher of our Class One!"
"Of course! Teacher Xu is definitely the strongest!"
"What Teacher Wu, in front of Teacher Xu, he's just a weakling who can't take a hit"
Seeing them go on and start to suck up, Xu Sheng couldn't help but laugh...
However, they did get something right – his Martial Soul was indeed an Evil Martial Soul, both before and after its evolution!
Right after, he raised his voice to interrupt, "Okay! Let's set aside this matter for now. You all should know that after joining East Sea Academy, there's also a 'class upgrading match' system in place, right?"
The class upgrading match was, without a doubt, a rather unique system of East Sea Academy!
As long as the strength of a class's students is strong enough, and they defeat their opponents in the class upgrading match, the names of the two classes can be swapped...
The challenge order goes from Class Five to Class Four, and Class Four to Class Three, and so on...
Hearing this, the students all nodded with serious expressions...
Before entering East Sea Academy, they were already aware of the class upgrading match system!
Thus, their position in Class One was not secure!
Seeing this, Xu Sheng spoke again, "Although there's no limit to the number of participants in the class upgrading match, only three students can fight in each round. First off, Wang Jinxi, Wei Xiaofeng, and Zhang Yangzi, you three must participate!"
No sooner had his words fallen than Zhang Yangzi, with a pained expression, stood up and said, "Teacher Xu, can I refuse?"
Xu Sheng, with a smile, refused, "No! You are the strongest in Class One, you have to represent us."
Zhang Yangzi's mouth twitched a few times before he sat back down, muttering, "Then I have no objections..."
Isn't this like forcing them? Is there even a need to ask?
Xu Sheng's gaze returned to the rest of the students as he continued to ask, "No objections from anyone else, right?"
Wang Jinxi and Wei Xiaofeng stayed silent, obviously consenting!
The rest of the students naturally couldn't have any objections either...
They chimed in, "No...no, Wang Jinxi and the other two have the highest soul power ranks. If they compete, victory is almost certain!"
"Exactly! We could even fall to Class Two with just one loss in the class upgrading match system!"
"Agreed, although I'd also like to participate, thinking of my own soul power rank, I better not. If I cause the class to lose, that would be a disgrace!"
Xu Sheng was taken aback and hadn't expected these students to agree solely because they were afraid of dragging down the class!
He immediately spoke up, "You don't need to feel any pressure. If there are more people who wish to join the class upgrading match, you can come to me to sign up!"
"As to whether or not you can compete, that will depend on the specific circumstances during the match!"
These words reignited a spark in the eyes of those students who had felt regretful before...
Even if
...
Two hours later, the bell for the end of the class had already rung...
Xu Sheng also stopped his actions and said to the students below, "That's all for now, class is dismissed!"
As his words concluded, a faint voice was heard from near the door...
"Teacher Xu... may I ask you to step outside for a moment?"
Upon hearing that, Xu Sheng cast his gaze sideways, and immediately recognized the identity of the arrival...
```
It was none other than Liu Yuxin from the East Sea Academy train reception!
And as Liu Yuxin looked at his suddenly sideways glance, her cheeks gradually became scorching hot, inevitably turning a shade of red...
Especially those beautiful eyes, which suddenly sparkled with brilliance, saying, "Wow... he's so handsome! Teacher Xu's profile is irresistible!"
She simply couldn't connect this extremely gentle man with the one she had first met...
Xu Sheng smiled and asked, "You are... Liu Yuxin, right? Is there something you need from me?"
Liu Yuxin pursed her thin lips, somewhat embarrassedly said, "Well... it's just that, Teacher Xu, do you have time now?"
Xu Sheng was taken aback and nodded, "Hmm, I suppose so!"
His next class wasn't until the afternoon, and it was more towards the evening...
So he was quite free at the moment!
Liu Yuxin took a deep breath and began, "I was thinking... I was thinking..."
Xu Sheng stepped closer to her, raised her chin with his hand, and said in a voice filled with magnetism, "Cadet Liu Yuxin, could it be that you want to confess to me?"
The students who were playing around all witnessed this scene...
"Oh my god, is Teacher Xu really that A? I always thought he was very gentle!"
"This is bad, this is bad. Teacher Xu is the ultimate heartthrob! Even I, a guy, am about to be captivated!"
"Go away, go away, Teacher Xu is ours, what's with you boys joining the fuss"
"Exactly, exactly, I hereby declare that Teacher Xu is my God! Wu Longkong and all the rest can step aside"
Hearing these words, Liu Yuxin immediately panicked, waving her hands frantically, "No... it's not like that"
According to the academy's rules, teachers shouldn't make such rash actions toward students, yet she found herself having no will to resist in front of Teacher Xu.
How embarrassing! If the other senior female students found out, she would probably become public enemy number one, right?
Realizing it might have been too much, Xu Sheng let go of her chin, "I was just joking. Cadet Liu Yuxin, if there's something you want to say, just go ahead."
Liu Yuxin sighed with relief, almost pleading as she asked, "Teacher Xu... May I... take some pictures with you? The... the senior female students... all are very... very curious about you."
Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow, puzzled, "Take pictures together?"
This was beyond his expectations!
He had thought Liu Yuxin had some important matter to discuss, only to find out it was merely a simple request for a photo together.
With that in mind, Xu Sheng naturally couldn't refuse, and replied with a smile, "Of course, you can!"
Afterward, he kindly took several pictures with Liu Yuxin...
Looking at the photos in the soul-guided camera, Liu Yuxin was thrilled beyond words, wishing she could let the other female students know about her photos with Xu Sheng right away!
She slightly lowered her head, saying shyly, "Thank you, Teacher Xu. I'll leave now!"
Without waiting for Xu Sheng's response, she hurriedly left...
Xu Sheng watched her retreating figure and shook his head, "Ah... there goes that. I was thinking of asking that student out for a meal! But nevermind."
If the previous Liu Yuxin knew about this, she surely would feel like she had missed out on a fortune!
Glancing casually at the students who were gossiping furiously, he also stepped out of the classroom...
