Chapter 66

"Thank you, teacher." Gu Yue smiled sweetly in response.

Wu Changkong’s face turned cold, "Then, go running with them. This is mandatory physical training. Xie Xie, you go too."

Xie Xie’s face immediately turned gloomy, "Teacher, don’t we not have to run after the fight?"

Wu Changkong snorted coldly, "Did you win?"

"I..." Xie Xie felt frustrated and somewhat depressed. Wasn’t it true? If Tang Wulin’s victory over him was largely due to luck, then in the battle with Gu Yue, he had given it his all and still lost. This girl’s soul beast was too bizarre, even more so than his dual dragon daggers.

Gu Yue smiled slightly, without any hesitation, and ran to the edge of the playground, joining the other Class 5 students.

Xie Xie let out a mournful cry and had no choice but to follow.

Watching their figures, Wu Changkong’s usually cold face rarely showed a hint of a smile. He turned and headed toward the main teaching building.

"Why do you have iron chains on you?" Gu Yue, with a light step, asked curiously when she ran up to Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin said, "To strengthen my physique! The teacher has higher expectations for me. You’re really amazing."

Gu Yue smiled, "Actually, it’s not that amazing. None of my individual elements are strong; I just control them well. It’s the same with any soul beast. As long as you have soul power, when you truly understand it and can control it, it will bring you surprises."

Tang Wulin was moved by her words, control?

"You’re just talking from a position of comfort. Who has a soul beast that can control multiple elements like yours!" Xie Xie’s voice from the other side of Tang Wulin sounded unconvinced. Without his iron armor and after the previous rest, he was running relatively easily.

Gu Yue said, "That’s because you haven’t fully understood your soul beast yet."

Xie Xie retorted, "How do you know I haven’t understood it?"

Gu Yue said, "Defeated by me, do I need to know anything else?"

"I..." Xie Xie felt so frustrated that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. Wasn’t he a genius? Why, after coming to this school and even being in the worst class, did he keep getting beaten down?

Wu Changkong walked straight into the teaching building. At this moment, all the classes were in session, and the hallway was very empty.

He paused at the door of the office, pondered for a moment, and then knocked.

"Come in!" Long Hengxu’s voice sounded.

Wu Changkong pushed the door open and entered.

Long Hengxu was sitting behind his desk, sulking. He was seriously considering how to handle his relationship with Wu Changkong. This guy had really not given him any face today. But to expel him was absolutely impossible; the dean wouldn’t allow it. To give him another punishment? He was already teaching the worst first-year Class 5. What else could be done? Was this guy just being defiant because of the situation?

Seeing that it was Wu Changkong who entered, Long Hengxu was also taken aback and said coldly, "What can I do for you, Teacher Wu?"

Wu Changkong came to his desk with a calm face and bowed to Long Hengxu.

"I’m sorry, Director Long. I’ve come to apologize to you."

Seeing his bow, if Long Hengxu was still full of anger, now he was only shocked.

What was going on? The cold and proud man was apologizing? Was the sun rising from the west?

He knew a lot about this highly individualistic teacher. From the day he entered the academy, he was the most famous topic. Handsome, powerful, the academy’s top strength. But he was also rebellious, not following the academy’s teaching guidelines, and completely following his own ideas. He was even rated as a god by the female students.

This guy didn’t even give the dean any face! It was said that when the dean talked to him, he hadn’t even finished before this guy pushed the door and left.

However, he did have the capital to be proud. He came from that place. At less than thirty years old, he already had the cultivation of a six-ringed Soul Emperor. Even in that place, he was said to be a genius. Later, no one knew why he came here.

For such a proud guy, who seemed to have his eyes on the top of his head, to actually apologize to him? Was the grave turned into a vegetable garden?

Wu Changkong said seriously, "I was wrong today, so I’ve come to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me."

"Never mind." Long Hengxu didn’t know if he was scared or if the apology had really calmed him down. He hurriedly said, his momentum somewhat weakened.

Wu Changkong nodded, "Director Long, we have a new student in our class. She just passed my test and is fully qualified to join our academy. According to the academy’s rules, if a student misses the registration time and is approved to join the academy due to special circumstances, they can only start from Class 5. So, please approve her admission."

Saying this, he handed the letter from Gu Yue to Long Hengxu.

Long Hengxu took the letter and read it, saying subconsciously, "Alright, I’ll handle it."

Wu Changkong said, "Right now. I’ll wait for you to handle it."

Only now did Long Hengxu come to his senses, suddenly realizing that this guy had come to ask for something. He had come to apologize.

But for some reason, after Wu Changkong’s apology, he wasn’t angry at all. The charm of the cold and proud man seemed to work not just on women.

"Teacher Wu, I still have to remind you. In the future, in front of the students, I hope you can give me some face," Long Hengxu said somewhat resentfully.

"Alright." Wu Changkong nodded again.

Long Hengxu didn’t expect him to agree so readily. Although this cold and proud man had a high opinion of himself, it was precisely because of this that he was absolutely a man of his word. Since he had promised, he would definitely do it. He never thought that he could improve his relationship with him so quickly. Now it seemed that having him in the intermediate department wasn’t such a bad thing.

"This student seems to be highly regarded by Teacher Wu!" As he thought, Long Hengxu opened the letter and read it carefully.

The letter was a recommendation from a junior academy in a small city, nothing special.

Gu Yue, female, soul power level 15, soul beast: Elementalist.

Elementalist? What the heck is this?
