Chapter 1257: Finals_1

Feeling the terrifying pressure that filled the room, the two Shrek teachers' bodies trembled involuntarily...

Fear and astonishment were clear in their eyes...

One must know that both of them were Soul Emperor level powerhouses! Yet under this pressure, a strange feeling rose in their hearts...

That if they dared to make a move, they would undoubtedly be obliterated!!

With this thought, one teacher wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and tried to soothe the tension, "Teacher Xu, there is no need to be so angry. We are not here to threaten you."

This man's strength was definitely not just at the Soul Sage level they had anticipated, but at least that of a Soul Douluo!

Otherwise, how could he have shattered the soul power suppressor!!

The other teacher also hurriedly agreed, "That's right, that's right, as long as Teacher Xu is willing to join Shrek Academy, we can still negotiate whatever requirements you may have!"

The opponent's strength had already exceeded their expectations, and it stood to reason that Shrek Academy would consider even additional conditions!

Xu Sheng's lips curled into a smile as he withdrew the suffocating pressure and said in a harmless tone, "There, isn't that much better? We are all teachers here, there's no need for such hostility in our words."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had significantly eased, the teachers from Shrek Academy flattered, "Yes, yes, you are right, Teacher Xu. May I ask what it would take for you to join our Shrek Academy?"

As they finished speaking, their gazes were locked tightly on Xu Sheng, waiting for his response...

Xu Sheng's dark eyes focused as he said, "It is simple for me to join, on the condition that all the students I teach are granted exemption to enter Shrek Academy!"

As soon as these words were spoken, two shocked voices erupted...

"What? Teacher Xu, you must be joking, right?"

"Teacher Xu, can we talk about something more realistic? The enrollment quota for Shrek Academy in the entire East Sea City is only two or three people!"

To give all the students taught by Xu Sheng the qualification to join Shrek Academy was a demand far too harsh!

Seeing the reaction, Xu Sheng said indifferently, "If there's nothing to discuss, then I will take my leave, gentlemen!"

Having said that, he stood up and was about to step away...

Just at this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded, "Wait, Teacher Xu, please allow us to discuss this matter with the academy!"

...

Wu Changkong's cold eyes glanced towards Class Zero and he spoke, "The next match is about to start, are any of you feeling nervous?"

Wei Xiaofeng shrugged, "I'm not nervous since it's Tang Wulin and the others who are fighting, but considering that our previous tactics have been exposed, I'm afraid this match will be quite difficult."

Wang Jinxi also spoke with a serious face, "That's right, especially since the opposite side has that freakishly strong guy whose third soul ring is nearly that of ten thousand years!"

Zhang Yangzi also chimed in urgently, "Exactly, I saw that guy's match, his third soul ring is an extremely terrifying area-of-effect spiritual attack! If there's no defense against it, we're doomed."

Tang Wulin spoke gravely, "Indeed, spiritual attacks are fatal for us, and it seems there's no effective way to resist them!"

Suddenly, Xie Xie's eyes lit up as he said, "Wait... what if we knock him out right at the start?"

Gu Yue asked in confusion, "Xie Xie, what do you mean??"

The others also looked at him with puzzled expressions...

Xie Xie took a deep breath and laid out his idea...

"If that guy uses his third soul skill, we're guaranteed to lose, but if Xu Xiaoyan takes the stage at the critical moment and controls him, we could..."

At these words, a spark of inspiration shone in everyone's eyes...

Xu Xiaoyan's face turned red as she stammered, "I... I, better not... If I fail to control him, then..."

If she were to fail, the situation on the field would immediately become two against three!

Tang Wulin reached out and patted the former's shoulder, saying with utmost trust, "Xu Xiaoyan, if we want to win, we can only have a chance by relying on you. Believe in yourself!"

"That's right, we all trust you, there will definitely be no problem!"

"Teacher Wu, you think the same, right?"

Wu Changkong said indifferently, "This plan does have some feasibility, but the timing must be grasped perfectly!"

Just at this moment, several announcements echoed through the broadcast again...

"After numerous fierce competitions, the Skysea Alliance tournament has now come to the final round!"

"We hope that the last two teams will give their all and strive to compete for first place!"

"Now, I declare that the final match officially begins! Please have the competing teams quickly reach the battle platform!"

These words immediately stirred up all the students below the stage, who began discussing animatedly...

"Finally, it's the finals, I'm a bit excited!"

"Exactly, exactly, I wonder if East Sea Academy's Class Zero can create a miracle. If they win, they will break the record!"

"Forget about it, it's impossible. Their opponent, that male student, his third soul ring is infinitely close to ten thousand years, the power is extraordinary!"

"Exactly, Class Zero should be content with getting second place. If they're still hoping to compete for first, that would be overestimating themselves!"

Hearing that not many were supporting them, the faces of Class Zero's students turned a shade uglier...

Wu Changkong said expressionlessly, "Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan, you three will go up!"

Xu Xiaoyan hesitated for a few seconds but eventually nodded along with Gu Yue and Tang Wulin, "Yes, Teacher Longkong"

Afterward, they stepped towards the battle platform...

...

Upon seeing Gu Yue and the others ascend the platform, one of the opposing team members sneered and said, "Hmph! Two 1st Rings, one 2nd Ring, does East Sea Academy know they have no chance of winning and just came to take the blame?"

Another student frowned and said, "Don't be careless. That 1st Ring male student from the opposing side, in terms of strength, is more terrifying than a three-ring Soul Venerable!"

The male student standing in the middle, with the most oppressive presence, pursed his lips, "Hmm! Everyone be cautious, even though this match will surely be ours to win!"

They had three Soul Venerables, and his own third soul ring was close to ten thousand years. It was hard to lose this bout!

Yet these words seemed a bit too confident, penetrating directly into the ears of Tang Wulin's team...

He clenched his fists, his teeth gritted as he said, "These guys, are they so confident?"

Gu Yue reminded, "Tang Wulin, don't let their words provoke you!"

Xu Xiaoyan kept exhaling, trying to suppress the nervousness within...

"Please have the team members release their Martial Souls, and after three seconds, the match will begin!!"

Following those words, the six people on the battle platform all released their Martial Souls and looked intently at each other!

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Begin the match!"
