Chapter 1233: Heading to East Sea City (Please Subscribe)_1

In the time that followed, the students of Class Zero underwent several group confrontations. Although their mutual understanding had not reached the level of telepathy, they could generally coordinate with each other!

Wei Xiaofeng panted excitedly, "Whew… I feel so thrilled. Today is the day of the Skysea Alliance competition!"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded, put a hand over her chest, and said, "Yeah! Just thinking about it makes me excited. It's my first time participating in such a large-scale competition!"

Wang Jinxi glanced at Tang Wulin and asked, "I say, Tang Wulin, what exactly did Teacher Wu tell you the other day? He didn't really give you special training, did he?"

At those words, Tang Wulin's cheeks reddened with embarrassment, and he stiffened his resolve to say, "Why… why would you say that? I was just taking care of some things with Teacher Wu!"

Indeed, what Wang Jinxi had said was true; Wu Changkong really did give him special training!

In those short two days, Wu Changkong had taught him several Tang Sect techniques, like Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Purple Demon Eyes…

Although the process was extremely painful, fortunately, his efforts had not betrayed him!

Xie Xie pursed his lips and muttered derisively, "Tsk… just by looking at you, I can tell! I really don't know whether to say Teacher Wu plays favorites or not."

Gu Yue, eyeing Tang Wulin, her amber eyes glistening with an unusual brilliance...

She didn't feel any improvement from Tang Wulin's aura, perhaps

Just then, Long Hengxu hurried into Class Zero, and upon seeing everyone present, he announced, "All members of Class Zero, assemble at East Sea Plaza immediately. You'll join the senior grades to participate in the Skysea Alliance competition. A Soul Guidance Train will take us all there!"

Upon hearing this, the students of Class Zero did not hesitate, quickly standing up and setting off for East Sea Plaza…

When they arrived at East Sea Plaza, they saw that many students had already gathered on the Soul Guidance Train. Of course, not all of these students were competing—most were accompanying them to watch the event.

Xu Sheng, catching sight of the students from Class Zero, waved at them…

Seeing this gesture, the students of Class Zero promptly came to his side and found seats to sit down…

Xu Xiaoyan, ever curious, said, "Teacher Xu, are you coming with us too?"

Xu Sheng looked at her and chuckled, "Hmm! After all, I am the head teacher of Class Zero. Naturally, I want to see how you all perform."

If these kids still can't apply the practical experience I've taught them in battle, then they'll just have to rely on muscle memory!

Wei Xiaofeng patted his chest and reassured, "Don't worry, Teacher Xu. After these past few days of working together, we have a lot of confidence…"

After a pause, he grimaced and added, "—that we won't lose too badly!"

Wang Jinxi pursed his lips and said resentfully, "The opponents we'll face are sure to be older and have higher soul power ranks than us. So, the best outcome would be not losing too horribly!"

Zhang Yangzi nodded, "Yeah! I really don't understand why the academy is sending us to compete. If we lose in the first round, won't that be totally embarrassing?"

Feeling the mood sour, Tang Wulin said to lighten the atmosphere, "Don't be so pessimistic, guys. Who knows, maybe with a bit of luck, we could end up in the top ranks."

With that said, all the students of Class Zero heaved a sigh…

While it was true that they had developed some tacit understanding, that had only deepened their teamwork. Facing strong enemies, they still felt utterly helpless!

Xu Sheng tried to keep his tone as gentle as possible as he consoled them, "Whether you win or lose the competition, the most important thing is to give it your all! That's how you'll understand your shortcomings and improve yourselves."

"Besides, apart from Class Zero, East Sea Academy has also sent older students to compete, so there's no need to feel pressured."

At these words, the hearts of all the students from Class Zero eased…

Since East Sea Academy had other, stronger teams competing, the pressure on them was naturally much less!

Tang Wulin, sitting on the periphery of the train, felt a knock on his head, and immediately turned around to look…

```

The one who acted was none other than Tang Wulin's senior sister, Mu Xi!

```

```

A look of curiosity filled Mu Xi's eyes as she asked, "Little Wulin, are you here to participate in the Forging Master competition?"

```

```

The current Skysea Alliance competition includes both the Forging Master and Soul Master tournaments. In her view, given Tang Wulin's capabilities, he could only be here for the former!

```

```

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin shook his head and corrected her, "No, senior sister, I'm here to participate in the Soul Master competition!"

```

```

He did want to participate in the Forging Master tournament, but he had not received any notification…

```

```

Mu Xi expressed her surprise, "Participate in the Soul Master competition? Are you running a fever?"

```

```

Although Tang Wulin's class was the strongest first-year class, Class Zero, it was still just a minor part of the whole picture!

```

```

Thinking this, she reached out with her soft, boneless palm and gently touched Tang Wulin's forehead...

```

```

Feeling the cool touch, his cheeks instantly turned scorching hot...

```

```

After pushing away Mu Xi's hand, he said in a flustered manner, "Senior sister, don't... don't do that!"

```

```

An amused look appeared in Mu Xi's eyes as she blinked her beautiful eyes and teased, "What's wrong, Little Wulin? Are you getting shy?"

```

```

Just a gentle touch from her, and his cheeks turned so red—it was truly amusing!

```

```

Tang Wulin remained silent, obviously acquiescing…

```

```

Mu Xi shook her head reflectively and said, "If it were the Forging Master competition, I think you'd stand a chance at winning the championship, but if it's the Soul Master competition, with your one-ring soul power rank, I'm afraid you won't even pass the first round!"

```

```

Feeling somewhat dejected by the blow, Tang Wulin replied with resignation, "Senior sister, we're not here just for the rankings; we're here to improve ourselves! Isn't that a bit too harsh?"

```

```

As they were talking, the horn of the Soul Guidance Train suddenly sounded...

```

```

"The Soul Guidance Train will soon be heading to Skysea City. All soul masters on this train should prepare themselves and refrain from leaving their seats!"

```

```

Not long after the announcement, the Soul Guidance Train began to accelerate...

```

```

...

```

```

Shortly afterward…

```

```

Wu Changkong's face was ice-cold as he glared at the man before him, Principal Yu, and said coldly, "Principal Yu, why won't you let me go to

```

```

Today was the day to head to Skysea City, and he hadn't received a notice from the Academic Affairs Office!

```

```

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Principal Yu tried to appease him, "Teacher Wu, please calm down. It's not worth getting so worked up over such a trifle."

```

```

He had intentionally prevented Wu Changkong from going; not for any other reason, but because although the latter was strong, his temper was volatile. If there were any friction with people from other academies during the Skysea Alliance competition, he would likely lash out without hesitation!

```

```

Wu Changkong let out a cold laugh, "A trifle? Surely you realize how important Class Zero is to me right now?"

```

```

Having chosen to become a teacher, he had already placed the affairs of Class Zero first and foremost!

```

```

Principal Yu took a deep breath, "That... uh..."

```

```

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Changkong had already kicked open the door and left…

```

```

If they weren't willing to allow him on the Soul Guidance Train, then he would simply make his way there alone!

```
