-----------------------------------------

Indeed, Tang Wulin is doing just that. In his eyes, Xie Xi is no longer a person, but a piece of metal he is forging. His heart gradually entered the ethereal state of forging. Xie Xi's originally dazzling movements seemed to slow down, as if everything had a pattern to follow.

The Thousand-Forged Tungsten Steel Hammer was swung out in this situation, blocking Xie Xi's attacks twice in a row.

Before Xie Xi could launch his third attack, he felt a gust of wind rushing towards him. Tang Wulin swung his hammer down again. From the sharp sound of the air being split, it was clear how heavy this hammer was.

Xie Xi hurriedly dodged, but Tang Wulin had already unleashed both hammers, like a storm of rain, smashing towards him. For a moment, the "whoosh" of the hammer wind stirred up the dust on the ground, forcing Xie Xi to retreat step by step.

The Light Dragon Dagger did not dare to clash head-on. He was a speed-attack type Soul Master, and even if the opponent relied on pure strength, the power of his soul tool was somewhat limited. In terms of strength, the gap was indeed huge.

With a flash, Xie Xi instantly retreated, increasing the distance between him and Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin did not chase. In fact, he couldn't catch up at all. He subconsciously stopped his hammers but still maintained the same slightly narrowed eyes, staring at Xie Xi.

This bastard! Xie Xi cursed inwardly. His eyes also began to sharpen.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Xi's expression became solemn. His right hand, holding the Light Dragon Dagger, moved slightly to the side, and his left hand also lifted. His entire aura suddenly changed, becoming even more powerful.

His toes lightly touched the ground, and as his figure shot up again, a faint afterimage was left in the air, his speed at least thirty percent faster than before.

Under the influence of the aura, Tang Wulin swung both hammers simultaneously!

In mid-air, Xie Xi's right hand Light Dragon Dagger lightly touched Tang Wulin's Thousand-Forged Tungsten Steel Hammer, using the force to flip over, and his left hand instantly swung towards Tang Wulin.

A light "pu" sound, and a bloodstain appeared on Tang Wulin's back.

The intense pain immediately snapped Tang Wulin out of his ethereal state, his feet stumbling, his back burning. At the same time, a warm current instantly surged from his spine.

Tang Wulin was not alarmed but rather delighted. The golden scales are about to appear?

So, it really only appears when I am attacked?

However, just as he steadied himself, the warm current in his body quietly dissipated, not rising to the scorching heat as before, directly manifesting the golden scales and powerful strength.

"Stop!" Wu Changkong had appeared in the middle of them at some point, calling a halt to the match.

"Xie Xi wins!"

Xie Xi let out a long breath, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. Finally, he won! He finally won once, tears streaming down his face! However, that guy's strange golden scales did not appear. Could he be hiding his true strength? Or, as he said, he can't control the golden scales?

Wu Changkong said to Xie Xi, "You are responsible for compensating Tang Wulin for a school uniform."

"Eh..." Didn't I win? Shouldn't there be a reward? Xie Xi felt a darkness in front of his eyes. Why does Tang Wulin always make me lose money!

Why!

Wu Changkong looked around the class, coldly saying, "The match is over. Do you know what impression you give me?"

"Rotten wood cannot be carved!" The cold and proud man answered his own question.

"No wonder you were placed in Class 5. You are indeed all useless. But even if you are a piece of scrap iron, I will forge you into steel. You all saw the match just now. What is Tang Wulin's soul tool? The widely recognized useless soul tool, Blue Silver Grass. But he made it to the finals and almost won."

"It was me who won, okay!" Xie Xi was filled with sorrow and anger, feeling as if he had lost.

Wu Changkong didn't care about his thoughts and continued, "He relied not only on Blue Silver Grass but also on his physical abilities. Some might say that physical strength is useful at this stage, but once everyone's soul power increases and they have more soul skills, it won't matter. But I tell you, you don't even have the qualifications to think about having more soul skills. How many of you can reach the level of having a second soul ring? How many can have more soul skills? And your body is your own. What can a strong physique do?"

"Soul power is no longer the threshold for becoming a mecha pilot. Powerful energy storage soul conductors allow ordinary people to become mecha pilots. But a strong physique is the foundation of a mecha pilot. Without a good body, you will not be able to withstand the impact inside the mecha and high-intensity combat. Therefore, given the weakness of your soul tools, starting from tomorrow, our class will undergo physical training. Every morning for physical training, every afternoon for theoretical knowledge. Today's morning class is over. Think about today's match after class. This afternoon, we will teach meditation. Dismissed!"

This was the longest speech the cold and proud man had made since becoming the homeroom teacher, without any preaching, just stating facts. Whether he called them useless or announced the special training, it was all in the most definitive tone.

"Xie Xi, Tang Wulin, you two come with me." After saying this last sentence, Wu Changkong turned and walked towards the teaching building.

Are we getting a reward? Xie Xi's eyes immediately lit up. Before coming to the academy, he had heard that there were usually rewards for competitions in the academy, and the rewards were quite good. He was the champion, the champion of Class 5. Teacher Wu is so powerful, what will the reward be? He had already started to imagine it.

Wu Changkong led the two to his office. His office was pitifully small, only ten square meters, with just a desk, a bookshelf, and a chair.

"When I said you were useless just now, I included you two as well!" The first sentence from the cold and proud man immediately destroyed Xie Xi's good mood.

Shouldn't there be a reward? At least some encouragement.

Wu Changkong looked at Tang Wulin, "You did well today, but you didn't fully utilize your advantages. Your Blue Silver Grass should be a mutation, more resilient than ordinary. But your soul power is too weak, and you can't last long. In this situation, as long as your opponent's soul power is higher, you have few chances. What's with those hammers of yours?"

Tang Wulin said helplessly, "I learned forging."
