Chapter 1457 Today's First Lesson: Actual Combat (Please Subscribe)_1

"How terrifying, is this what Teacher Xu looks like when he is angry? My very soul is trembling!"

"I think this is the first time Teacher Xu has shown his anger in front of us, it's truly frightening!"

"Is... is this man really just a teacher? Such strength could probably rival that of a Titled Douluo!"

"Indeed, not even the Hall Master's oppressive aura comes close to one-tenth of his. The teachers of Shrek Academy are indeed terrifyingly strong!"

Seeing this, Xu Sheng then retracted his imposing aura and smiled, "Alright, everyone should be able to calm down now, right?"

The Shrek students and Tang Sect disciples all nodded in agreement; they certainly did not want to experience that despairing terror again!

However, when they looked at each other, their eyes still carried strong dissension and disgust...

Immediately after, Xu Sheng's gaze turned to Tang Wulin and he softly said, "Tang Wulin, tell us what happened exactly."

Tang Wulin stood up somewhat sheepishly upon hearing this and coughed, "Teacher Xu, the reason everyone had a conflict is because you were quite late, delaying us for dozens of minutes!"

After saying that, he even shot Xu Sheng a meaningful glance...

Xu Sheng pondered upon hearing this and said, "I see, so it's because I was late? Then I would like to apologize to everyone again here, please forgive me!"

Normally, he wouldn't have been late, but on the way, Wu Dousi had a bottleneck loosened, forcing a breakthrough to Soul King, which caused the delay!

Hearing these words filled with apologies, the faces of the Tang Sect disciples eased a bit, and much of their previous dissatisfaction dissipated...

Xu Sheng paused for a moment before continuing, "Alright, back to the main topic. Regarding today's first lesson, I feel it's necessary to explain a bit!"

"In recent times, the Tang Sect was suddenly struck by an assault suspected to be a Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell released by the Spirit Pagoda, and the original sect grounds along with half the city were destroyed!"

"To stabilize the foundation of the Tang Sect, the academy has ordered that the Tang Sect disciples be temporarily integrated into Shrek Academy, meaning that for a long while, you all will practice and learn together!"

"Therefore... to better the instruction, we will not delve into theoretical knowledge today but hope to understand everyone's current strength through a real battle exercise instead!"

At these words, the Shrek students present were dumbfounded, and with wide eyes, they said, "Teacher Xu didn't get it wrong, right? To start off this big on the first lesson?"

"I was originally thinking of catching up with everyone during the first class! And now we're going straight into real combat?"

"Isn't this perfect, letting those Tang Sect disciples see our strength!"

"They previously spoke ill of our academy; naturally, we have to make them suffer!"

The Tang Sect disciples also showed unconvinced looks and retorted, "Humph! Did you really think I'm afraid of you? We Tang Sect disciples do not have a single coward among us!"

"That's right, just a duel, right? Do you really think being a student of Shrek Academy means you are invincible?"

"Us Tang Sect disciples are not weaker than you in real combat!"

"Humph! Many of our Tang Sect disciples can fight above their levels, be careful not to lose too badly!"

Xu Sheng looked at the chaotic scene before him and nodded with satisfaction, "Then, everyone, follow me to the combat arena immediately! Let's have our strength do the talking!"

Tang Wulin rolled his eyes, "Teacher Xu really doesn't worry about things getting too big, does he?!"

Xie Xie shrugged, "Teacher Xu is usually kind and amiable, but sometimes he's rather sneaky. Isn't that common knowledge?"

Xu Xiaoyan's eyes sparkled as she stared at Xu Sheng, "I actually think what Teacher Xu is doing is not wrong. How can you teach better without knowing the strength of the students?"

Ye Xinglan glanced at them, "We better get going, and prepare for a tough fight ahead."

Tang Sect disciples are not so easy to handle!

Duel Field!

The teacher in charge of monitoring the duel field wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gave an awkward smile. "Teacher Xu, this... this might not be a good idea, right? The disciples from the Tang Sect have just merged into our Shrek Academy!"

He was worried that the duel would cause friction between the disciples of the Tang Sect and the students of Shrek!

Xu Sheng shook his head and said indifferently, "It's alright, just a simple exchange between them."

The former's face darkened. "Teacher Xu, it's precisely because you say things like that that I am even more doubtful..."

Despite what he said, he still took the initiative to release the restrictions on the duel field...

Forget it, if anything happens, he'll just pin the blame on this Teacher Xu; he was merely a tool for lifting the restrictions on the duel field!

Xu Sheng patted his shoulder. "Thank you!"

He then led the students and disciples from the Tang Sect behind him into the duel field...

Upon entering, both sides naturally separated, forming two opposing groups!

They clenched their fists tightly and looked at each other with eyes brimming with fighting spirit, wishing the duel would begin immediately!

Xu Sheng walked to the center with a smiling face and announced, "The rules of the contest are simple: one-on-one! Continuation of battle until one party loses the ability to move or voluntarily concedes. The next person can then join the battle! During this, crippling the opponent is not allowed."

"In the end, the side with more people left unchallenged will be victorious!"

...

Sea God's Pavilion!

Upon hearing the report from the teacher ahead, the corners of the mouths of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion twitched involuntarily...

Feng Wu Yu held his forehead and said, "This Elder Xu really knows how to have fun! He started an internal fight between the disciples of the Tang Sect and the Shrek students on the very first lesson!"

Ya Li covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, "Indeed very bold, but this is very much in Elder Xu's style. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned to teach the most powerful class of the first year... no, now it should be the second year!"

Cai Yue'er showed a hint of helplessness. "We were already troubled by the matters concerning the Holy Spirit Cult, but with this turn of events, the pressure has been considerably relieved!"

Turbid World rested his chin on his hand and asked curiously, "Elders, and you Hall Masters, which side do you think has a greater chance of winning?"

Long Yeyue analyzed, "If the disciples of the Tang Sect are allowed to use soul tools or the so-called hidden weapons, it may be difficult to determine the victor. However, if it's a pure duel, our students from Shrek Academy should have a stable victory."

Tang Yinmeng concurred, "Indeed, the disciples of the Tang Sect are not adept at actual combat but are more skilled in using external objects to enhance their power. I believe you Hall Masters must feel the same way!"

After these words, all of the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion fixed their gaze on them...

The Hall Masters from the Tang Sect felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, and laughed nervously with a few '"hehe's," not knowing how to respond...

Because in their view, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion were clearly bullying them with their power!

With the strength of any Elder reaching Hyper Douluo and even Ultimate Douluo, would they dare to say a single word of disagreement?
