Chapter 1280: Breakthrough, Second-Ring Grand Soul Master! (Seeking Subscriptions)_1
Xu Sheng directly flicked Tang Wulin on the head and said impatiently, "You, stop thinking all kinds of nonsense. If I were an evil Soul Master, I would have refined the Golden Dragon King's bloodline in my body long ago!"
Tang Wulin rubbed the red mark emerging on his forehead, nodding and bowing as he said, "Yes, yes, Teacher Xu, you're right... Wait a second..."
But suddenly, as if remembering something, his pale blue pupils rapidly contracted...
Something wasn't right!
Something was off!
How did Teacher Xu know that he had the Golden Dragon King's bloodline inside his body??
Although he had told him about it, it was only regarding the second Martial Soul, not mentioning anything about the bloodline at all!!
That meant Teacher Xu actually had a thorough understanding of his specific situation all along!!!
It seemed that in the future, if he had any questions regarding his "second Martial Soul," he could boldly ask Teacher Xu!
Xu Sheng then turned to look at Wu Changkong, who was still muttering to himself beside Long Bing's body, and without any hesitation, broke the silence by saying indifferently, "Teacher Wu!"
Wu Changkong, who had been gazing at Long Bing with tender affection, was jolted back to reality upon hearing the other's voice...
After rubbing the slightly red corners of his eyes, he asked Xu Sheng with utmost seriousness, "Teacher Xu, now that Bing'er's body has been revived, what's the next step? What do I need to do?"
He was already desperate to see Long Bing awaken!!
Xu Sheng's tone grew a few shades more solemn, "Teacher Wu, once we return to the academy, first settle Long Bing. I will tell you what we need to do next!"
Hearing this tone, Wu Changkong knew that the upcoming matter would definitely be challenging!
To make the powerful Xu Sheng become so grave—the task would likely be a life-and-death ordeal for himself!
But as long as he could revive Long Bing, even if it meant storming the headquarters of the evil Soul Masters, he'd be willing to take the risk!!
…
After returning to the academy, Wu Changkong promptly made arrangements for Long Bing…
Then he immediately asked Xu Sheng for the location of the Immortal Herbs and set out without any hesitation!
But only Xu Sheng knew that in that untouched realm of human Soul Masters, there still lingered soul beasts that had lived for tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand years, with the degree of danger being self-evident!
This was his test for the other man—if Wu Changkong could successfully gather the Immortal Herbs and return alive, Xu Sheng would honor his promise to revive Long Bing!
If he died, then it would simply be considered fate!
Glancing at Tang Wulin who wanted to speak but hesitated, Xu Sheng said indifferently, "If you have something to say, just say it. Aren't you afraid of holding it in until it hurts?"
Hearing these words, Tang Wulin's pale blue eyes revealed a curious expression as he asked, "Teacher Xu, what exactly did you tell Teacher Wu? Why did he leave in such a rush!"
Xu Sheng had no intention to conceal the truth and replied casually, "To revive Long Bing, first we need a complete body; this step, I have already helped Teacher Wu accomplish."
"And for the second step, the required Immortal Herbs to nourish the soul! Whether it can be successful or not depends on Teacher Wu himself!"
Tang Wulin looked enlightened, "I see."
Xu Sheng waved his hand, ending the conversation...
"Alright, since you have chosen to return to the academy, I presume you are fully committed to accept my training, aren't you?"
After saying this, a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth...
Hearing these words made Tang Wulin shudder involuntarily; he took a step back and forced a smile, "Well, Teacher Xu... I think it's better not to. I can practice on my own!"
He had a hunch that this training would be excruciating!
Xu Sheng shrugged indifferently, "Is that so, then let it be. I was just going to say that after my training, you would have caught up to Gu Yue and the others in terms of soul power rank."
In an instant, Tang Wulin's eyes ignited with boundless fighting spirit, staring steadfastly at Xu Sheng...
"Wait... Teacher Xu, are you really not joking??"
His current source of the greatest inferiority was his soul power rank, the very bottom existence in the entire Class Zero!
Once the next semester starts, even Xu Xiaoyan, who is also at the 1st Ring, would surely have advanced to the 2nd Ring!
By then, in the whole Class Zero, only he would be the lonely "odd one out"!
Suddenly, Xu Sheng leaned close to Tang Wulin and whispered in his ear, "Of course I'm not lying, have I ever deceived you?"
Whether it was because it was so sudden, or because Xu Sheng's appearance was so attractive, Tang Wulin's face turned a bright red!
He took a deep breath and then gripped Xu Sheng's robe tightly, speaking earnestly, "Teacher Xu, please train me, train me hard, and don't hold back even a little!"
He absolutely did not want to continue being the bottom of Class Zero!!
...
In the blink of an eye, a month and a half had already hurried by...
Tang Wulin, with a face full of excitement, found Xu Sheng and exclaimed, "Teacher Xu! Teacher Xu!! I... I have now advanced to a second-ring Grand Soul Master!"
He had never dreamed that he could break through so many levels in just one month!
And all of this was thanks to Xu Sheng!
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng sensed Tang Wulin's condition and responded lightly, "Hmm, not bad!"
Now, Tang Wulin's soul power rank had reached level 20, a full four or five levels higher than the previous month!
Although it was not as Xu Sheng had predicted, being able to reach the 2nd Ring was still quite good for him!
Tang Wulin's mouth twitched twice, "Is that... that's it?"
He had thought that Xu Sheng would give him some encouragement, but all he got was a "not bad"!
It seemed that Xu Sheng saw his embarrassment and said with a hint of amusement, "Little Wulin, do you really want me to encourage you? If it were Gu Yue and the others, they might have already broken through to a three-ring Soul Elder!"
Tang Wulin could only say with a bitter smile, "It seems... that's indeed the case!"
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a bit worried...
If the other members of Class Zero came back and trained in the same way, then he was likely still going to be at the bottom...
Xu Sheng rubbed his head somewhat helplessly, whispering, "Don't worry, the body and Martial Soul of the other Class Zero students can't withstand this kind of training!"
Tang Wulin's slow improvement in his soul power rank was something even he couldn't stand to see!
This so-called "training" outcome was just some special assistance given to him...
Tang Wulin finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking secretly, "Phew... so that's how it is!"
While they were talking, Principal Yu's voice came through the communicator...
"Teacher Xu, the opening ceremony is tomorrow, come and discuss how we're going to hold it!"
Xu Sheng casually turned off the communicator and said leisurely, "Principal Yu is urging again, I will go over! You've worked hard for this month, so take this chance to rest well."
After speaking, she stood up and left...
