Chapter 1231: Skysea Alliance Grand Competition (Please Subscribe)_1
In the following period, East Sea Academy enjoyed a peaceful time...
But under Xu Sheng's tutelage, the soul power ranks of Class Zero's students had seen a significant increase!
Tang Wulin, Level Seventeen!
Xu Xiaoyan, Level Twenty!
Gu Yue, Level Twenty-Four!
As for the others like Long Hengxu, they were all above Level Twenty-Three!
"Tang Wulin," Wei Xiaofeng said leisurely, "Even Xu Xiaoyan has broken through to become a second-ring Grand Soul Master. Why are you still stuck at one ring?"
Zhang Yangzi chimed in seriously, "Exactly. I'm embarrassed to say you're a student of Class Zero. It's really shameful!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin immediately rolled his eyes...
He had grown accustomed to Wei Xiaofeng and Zhang Yangzi's usual teasing, so he didn't feel angry...
"Um... Wulin, don't be angry. They're just joking!" Xu Xiaoyan consoled.
She hadn't expected herself to reach the 2nd Ring so quickly, making Tang Wulin an oddity in Class Zero!
Xie Xie, trying to suppress his laughter, explained, "Yeah! We all understand that your Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, which is much harder to cultivate..."
Tang Wulin glared at him fiercely and said helplessly, "Just laugh if you want to, don't make yourself sick holding it in!"
He had been working very hard, but his soul power rank was still increasing very slowly!
Gu Yue, who had been silent, just looked around at her peers in Class Zero, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a hint of sharpness...
Just then, Long Hengxu took a deep breath before stepping onto the platform...
He cleared his throat lightly, "Ahem... Ahem..."
At the sound of the cough, everyone in Class Zero stopped their discussion and turned their eyes towards the platform...
Wang Jinxi asked with confusion, "Director Long, are you taking over our class today?"
Xu Xiaoyan blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Director Long looks pale. Is something wrong?"
"Perhaps he has some announcement to make," Gu Yue said indifferently.
In response to their questions, Long Hengxu declared with an authoritative tone, "Everyone be quiet, I have an announcement to make."
Upon hearing this, the classroom fell silent in an instant...
Seeing this reaction, Long Hengxu nodded in satisfaction and began, "First of all, to all the students of Class Zero, I'm sure your soul power ranks have improved quite a bit during this time!"
"Therefore, after getting approval from the academy, it has been decided that you will participate in the Skysea Alliance competition. On one hand, it's to broaden your horizons, and on the other hand, we hope that you will achieve good results for the academy!"
East Sea Academy had ranked rather low in the previous Skysea Alliance competitions, which was quite embarrassing!
But this time it was different; the strength of Class Zero was well recognized, and his proposal was immediately approved by the academy's higher-ups!
As soon as he finished speaking, his words immediately caused a stir among the students of Class Zero...
"Huh? Participate in the Skysea Alliance competition? You're not joking, are you?"
"We're just first years, are you sure about this, Director Long?"
"I think we should pass... It's fine if we get a good ranking, but what if we get eliminated in the first round? That would be so embarrassing. Besides, this Skysea Alliance competition sounds intense just from the name!"
Seeing that they were already hesitant about participating, Long Hengxu said helplessly, "Students of Class Zero, don't be so lacking in confidence, okay? Even if you don't get great results, it will be a growth experience. And you should know that students from Shrek Academy will also be participating!"
After a pause, he continued with a somewhat cajoling tone, "If you perform well enough, it's not impossible to be exceptionally admitted by Shrek Academy!"
The last sentence was purely made up by him. Getting into Shrek Academy was extremely difficult, let alone being exceptionally admitted!
This sentence immediately lifted the spirits of Wei Xiaofeng and the others...
"Shrek Academy?"
"Admitted exceptionally??"
"So, does that mean we can give it a try?"
"Yeah! Let's give it a shot; if we're lucky and get a high ranking, we might just soar to great heights!"
Seeing the significant change in their attitude, Long Hengxu nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, this is how Class Zero should be. It's settled then. The day after tomorrow is the start of the Skysea Alliance competition, so you all have one day to prepare!"
With those words, he waved his hand and left the Class Zero classroom, not giving the students a chance to refute...
...
Shortly after, Xu Sheng arrived with a smile, "You must have all received Director Long's notice, right?"
Wei Xiaofeng nodded with a grievance in his voice, "Yes, but I just remembered that it's extremely difficult to get into Shrek Academy; how could they possibly admit us exceptionally!"
Zhang Yangzi also said through gritted teeth, "Exactly, it seems we've been fooled by Director Long!"
"How despicable; we haven't even agreed yet!"
"This is something the academy has already decided; it's probably just an FYI for us, whether we refuse or not doesn't matter!"
Xu Sheng looked approvingly at Gu Yue, "Gu Yue is right, this was actually decided when Class Zero was established, so it's impossible to refuse!"
Xie Xie's eyes shone as he asked, "Teacher, will we get a reward for participating in the Skysea Alliance competition?"
Xu Sheng affirmed, "Of course, there is a reward. As for what it specifically is, the Skysea Alliance hasn't announced it yet, but it should be something worthwhile."
After pausing for a moment, she continued, "So, during today and tomorrow, you all need to prepare well and strive to achieve a high ranking!"
Just then, a figure appeared outside the door of Class Zero; it was none other than the expressionless Wu Changkong!
But one could vaguely sense that his aura was not as cold as usual, and even had a bit more gentleness...
His gaze fell on Tang Wulin as he spoke in a cold voice, "Tang Wulin, come out with me for a moment!"
Tang Wulin blinked, then looked at Xu Sheng on the podium, bewildered, "That... Teacher Xu??"
Xu Sheng glanced at Wu Changkong casually and agreed, "Go ahead."
Not sure if it was an illusion, but the latter seemed to have given him a thankful look just then!
After getting permission, Tang Wulin did not hesitate and immediately left the Class Zero classroom and left with Wu Changkong...
...
After the two had walked some distance, Tang Wulin asked with full confusion, "Teacher Wu, is there something you need me for?"
Wu Changkong looked at him with a bit of gentleness in his eyes and said calmly, "Hmm, you know about Shrek Academy, right?"
Tang Wulin nodded, "I do!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong said something quite abrupt, "If you know, that's enough..."
He had plans to teach Tang Wulin some things, but before that, he had to first go to the place that was most important to him!
The Tomb of the Sky Dou!
The place where the woman he loved the most, Long Bing, was buried!
