Chapter 68

"Are you coming tonight too?" After Xie Xie and Tang Wulin turned from enemies to friends today, the coldness on his face had diminished significantly, making him seem more genuine. The temper of a young master from a wealthy family was gradually showing. Fortunately, the homeroom teacher was Wu Changkong, who could suppress him in various aspects; otherwise, he would have been unable to persist with the physical training class.

"The teacher is doing it for our own good." Tang Wulin supported him.

An hour before dinner, most of the students had fallen into a deep sleep. Although Tang Wulin was also very tired, he still insisted on meditating.

In the past two days, with the new meditation technique, his meditation efficiency had clearly improved. The early bird gets the worm; with a mediocre soul beast, he had to work even harder.

There was still a class tonight, and when would he go to forge the Tianlong Iron? This was really a problem. If it couldn't be done, he would have to go in the middle of the night. After completing this forging task, he really couldn't take on new tasks for a while.

After dinner, Tang Wulin almost dragged Xie Xie to the playground. Xie Xie had originally intended to quit. When they arrived, Gu Yue was already there, looking completely recovered.

It was already evening, and the sunset left a brilliant red glow in the sky, illuminating Gu Yue's delicate face, adding a touch of brightness to her beauty.

Wu Changkong still had a stern look on his face, wearing a black tracksuit. Not far away, many senior female students gathered nearby, in groups of two or three, all their eyes on him.

"You three, follow me." Seeing the two arrive, Wu Changkong turned and walked away.

The three followed him into the depths of the school.

Wu Changkong led them to an indoor training ground at the back of the school, which he had obtained when he went to see Long Hengxu today.

By expressing his support for Long Hengxu's work and promising not to cause trouble for the head of the guidance office, Long Hengxu had given him a green light.

As the head of the guidance office, he was in fierce competition with the head of the senior department. Wu Changkong had been demoted to the intermediate department due to a fierce conflict with the senior department head, even breaking one of his legs. If he could build a good relationship with this Wu teacher, it would naturally earn him more points with the principal.

Wu Changkong didn't care about Long Hengxu's personal motives; as long as his own goals were achieved, that was enough.

If it weren't for Gu Yue, he wouldn't have been so easy to compromise, and he wouldn't have apologized. However, coming to the intermediate department had allowed him to meet two students who moved him. If they were well cultivated, they would certainly have the qualifications to enter that place.

As for the other student, he was a bit unique and interesting, but compared to the other two, he was more of a supporting role. At least for now.

The training ground was circular, with a soul-guided protective shield inside, a place for students with higher cultivation to train their soul beasts. After all, the playground was too easily damaged once one's soul power reached a certain level.

Wu Changkong led the three to the center of the training ground and stopped.

"Starting today, you will follow me for special training every night to prepare for the class promotion competition in three months."

At this point, his gaze fell on Tang Wulin, "Tang Wulin, your soul beast is Blue Silver Grass. The reason you were chosen to participate in the class promotion competition was because I had no other choice. Now that Gu Yue is here, you have seen her talent and strength. I won't go back on my word, but I hope you can show me through your efforts that you indeed have the qualifications to represent Class 5 in the competition. If you don't meet my requirements in three months, I will only send two people."

"Yes." Despite Xie Xie's warning, Tang Wulin felt a bit disheartened. Talent was ultimately his biggest weakness.

"Teacher, I won't replace him in the competition." At this moment, Gu Yue suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm?" Wu Changkong looked at her.

Gu Yue said calmly, "I am a transfer student, and I don't want to affect others because of me. So, please revoke your decision. I won't participate."

Wu Changkong was taken aback. Since he became a soul master, he had always been a top student, even when he came to Donghai City and entered Donghai Academy out of necessity. No one had ever threatened him, and those who did had very bad outcomes.

However, when this little girl spoke, he found that he couldn't do anything to her.

Xie Xie's dual soul beasts were already highly regarded by him, but compared to Gu Yue's elemental controller, Xie Xie was a level lower.

Tang Wulin hadn't expected Gu Yue to speak up for him and couldn't help but look at her with gratitude, "Thank you, Gu Yue, but Teacher Wu is right. This is about our class's honor, and it's better for the strongest to participate. But don't worry, I will work hard. The number of participants isn't limited to two. If I can become strong enough in three months, I believe the teacher will let me participate."

Wu Changkong looked at Tang Wulin with some surprise. This child's emotional intelligence was really not ordinary! His words not only showed his determination to work hard but also helped him out of a difficult situation. This made Wu Changkong's impression of him even better.

"Teacher, what will we train in the special training? It won't be physical training again, will it?" Xie Xie's focus was clearly different from theirs.

Wu Changkong said, "Of course not. No matter what training we do, the purpose is one: to increase your strength. Strength is divided into hard power and soft power. In my view, all strength comes from actual combat. Therefore, your special training will be actual combat. Use actual combat to stimulate your potential and improve your combat experience. I will first explain the key points to each of you, and then we will start the actual combat."

"Xie Xie, your speed is already fast enough for your level. However, your physical strength is too poor and cannot last long. Therefore, during combat, you need to control your physical strength. Your second soul beast has a surprising effect, but don't use it easily. Once you use it, you must achieve a good result."

"Gu Yue, I observed your elemental control today. Although I don't want to say it, I have to admit that with your current cultivation, your control over various elements is already very good. Tomorrow, I will take you three to test your mental power."

Tang Wulin said, "Teacher, I have tested my mental power before..."

Wu Changkong coldly interrupted him, "I only believe what I see with my own eyes."
