Chapter 73 – The First Match Of The Class Promotion Tournament! (1/2)

First grade's cla.s.s four teacher, Kong Hanwen, almost crooked his nose out of anger. 'This fellow's level of arrogance is extraordinary!'

'That's right, so you're strong. But what's the big deal about the cla.s.s of trash you're teaching? Can their strength lead anywhere?'

“Seems like Teacher Wu is full of confidence! We shall see what happens on the stage then.” With sarcasm-laced words, Kong Hanwen beckoned to his own cla.s.s and moved towards them.

Wu Zhangkong's lips moved slightly, and Tang Wulin, who stood beside him, vaguely caught his words; Teacher Wu seemed to have spoken something unpleasant…

At this moment, Director Long Hengxu walked towards the tournament platform.

“Today's Cla.s.s Promotion Tournament has started. We begin with the match between the first grade's cla.s.s five and the first grade's cla.s.s four. Teacher Wu Zhangkong, have you confirmed the number of partic.i.p.ants from your cla.s.s?”

The Cla.s.s Promotion Tournament for lower grades were normally not as popular. As the presiding referee, Long Hengxu had only one point of interest, which was the disciples Wu Zhangkong had trained within the last three months. Especially since Wu Zhangkong had approached him previously in order to seek his forgiveness.

Wu Zhangkong nodded. “We have three partic.i.p.ants from our cla.s.s.”

Long Hengxu turned towards the direction of cla.s.s four's teacher, Kong Hanwen. “Cla.s.s five has three partic.i.p.ants. Teacher Kong, you have five minutes to select your partic.i.p.ants.”

Kong Hanwen had changed from the previously grinning face he'd shown in front of Wu Zhangkong and commented disdainfully, “To compete with cla.s.s five, anyone from our cla.s.s four is good enough. Jia Long, Lin Zunyuan, Mo Si—you three compete. Remember, you are representing cla.s.s four's glory. You must show off the might of cla.s.s four.”

Wu Zhangkong merely waved his hand. Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue moved up to the tournament stage.

Long Hengxu looked towards Wu Zhangkong with a strange expression. Generally speaking, cla.s.s five as a whole was weak in power, and should've put forth the minimum number of partic.i.p.ants possible. While he had picked two of his best students, he'd selected a total of three to compete. Could it be that cla.s.s five's power as a whole had strengthened under Wu Zhangkong's training?

Among cla.s.s four's three partic.i.p.ants, Jia Long was at the forefront position. He wasn't particularly tall, but he was stout and looking st.u.r.dy.

Lin Zunyuan was a stringy-framed, weak-looking teenager. Mo Si had a medium build and had an eager look on his face.

Tang Wulin was at the forefront position on his end. That was right, it was him. Standing in this position made him feel as if he were the chief commander.

“Ready!” The two teams were 50 meters apart. Long Hengxu had his right hand raised.

“New academic year's Cla.s.s Promotion Tournament Round 1, first grade's cla.s.s four versus first grade's cla.s.s five. Begin!”

Together with Long Hengxu's words, the three partic.i.p.ants of the first grade's cla.s.s four released their soul rings.

Three white soul ring appeared underneath each of the three partic.i.p.ants. Standing at the forefront, Jia Long took a huge step forward, his body seemingly expanded a few centimeters. He howled deeply as his originally brown eyes turning yellow and his arms grew visibly stronger. With huge strides, he rushed forward.

Lin Zunyuan murmured something incomprehensible, and a long staff appeared in his hand. As the soul ring blinked beneath his feet, a ray of red light shone out from the top of his staff and fell onto Jia Long's body.

A blood-red streak appeared within Jia Long's yellow eyes, and his body expanded once more, bringing with it an imposing aura as he rushed towards Tang Wulin.

Mo Si, who stood positioned on the other side, disappeared shortly behind Jia Long.

From their fast and nimble coordination, it could be seen that they had trained for a long period of time. Unlike what Kong Hanwen had said, they were not students randomly chosen to compete.

Jia Long was an a.s.sault System Battle Soul Master and his martial soul was probably a wolf. Mo Si was an Agility System Battle Soul Master, but it wasn't clear what his martial soul was. Lin Zunyuan, however, was a support-type soul master, and his first soul skill was of the amplification type.

One was from the a.s.sault System, one was from the Agility System, and one could use an amplification type skill. This was a good combination.

Looking back at cla.s.s five, Tang Wulin and the others didn't release their soul rings at the first instance, but they all sped in the direction of their opponents. Xie Xie merely flashed once and appeared near Jia Long the very next instant, yet he didn't attack. With another flash to the side, he headed for Lin Zunyuan who stood behind Jia Long.

“Mo Si!” Jia Long shouted. Mo Si, who hid behind him, immediately appeared and shot towards Xie Xie.
