Chapter 74 – The Trio (1/2)

This match couldn't even have been considered as a steamrolling, since there wasn't any steamrolling at all. The entire match had proceeded in a relaxed manner, in such a way that Tang Wulin and Gu Yue didn't even need to use their soul power to defeat their opponents.

It was like what Wu Zhangkong had once told Tang Wulin: the sheer force of his strength alone was sufficient to defeat most of his peers.

Wu Zhangkong didn't spare a glance at cla.s.s four's cla.s.s teacher Kong Hanwen when he announced in an icy tone, “Cla.s.s dismissed.”

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin stood so close that their shoulders rubbed against each other. “I'm actually really happy that the Cla.s.s Promotion Tournament is being held. We're freed from the evening's special training.”In order to maintain their physical condition and energy, the compet.i.tors were given permission to be absent from their special training cla.s.ses. That was the cause of Xie Xie's exclamation.

Long Hengxu walked down the stage at this time and looked towards the trio with a somewhat shocked expression. He had arranged for Xie Xie's allocation to the first grade's cla.s.s five in view of the previous fight that had occurred. With Xie Xie's talent, there shouldn't have been any doubt to his allocation into cla.s.s one. However, his family had sought out Long Hengxu's help. They had hoped to give Xie Xie more opportunities to hone himself, so he was eventually allocated to cla.s.s five.

At that moment, Long Hengxu had many thoughts running through in his mind. Cla.s.s five was the worst cla.s.s in the academy, and was under the greatest amount of pressure within the first grade cla.s.ses. Moreover, Wu Zhangkong had been transferred to their cla.s.s. Despite the fact that this Icily Arrogant Prince Charming was not well-liked by the academy administration, it was undeniable that he was possessed both strength and excellent teaching ability.

He took his a.n.a.lysis one step further. With the gifted Xie Xie in cla.s.s five, all the other cla.s.ses were under even more pressure in the Cla.s.s Promotion Tournament. With the situation like this, the entire first grade was much more motivated to learn and improve.

This action had many benefits, and was why a talent like Xie Xie was allocated to cla.s.s five.

It seemed now, however, that cla.s.s five's compet.i.tiveness had far exceeded what he had previously expected. He was curious as to why Wu Zhangkong had chosen Tang Wulin to partic.i.p.ate in this Cla.s.s Promotion Tournament. He distinctly remembered that Tang Wulin's martial soul was Bluesilver Gra.s.s!

As for the girl, she was probably the student whom Wu Zhangkong was willing to admit his mistakes for. Though he hadn't had a chance to witness her true abilities, her possession of a hundred-year soul ring provided enough explanation.

This combination of cla.s.s five partic.i.p.ants was simply one that went against heaven's will! Even the compet.i.tors of first grade's cla.s.s one would be hard pressed to defeat them.

If during the Cla.s.s Promotion Tournament a lower cla.s.s in the grade won consecutively, then it would be bad news, especially for Long Hengxu who was in-charge of the allocation of new students. It meant that his allocation of new students was done on unfair grounds. He felt regretful for agreeing to Wu Zhangkong's request to let Gu Yue enter cla.s.s five.

“Let's go out and play, how about that?” Xie Xie whispered into Tang Wulin's ear.

Tang Wulin shook his head. “I don't feel like it. Meal time in the dining hall is starting.”

Xie Xie gave a blank look. “The only thought in your brain is eating.”

Tang Wulin answered somewhat angrily, “If I don't eat, I'll be hungry!”

Xie Xie replied, “Alright, I'll treat you if you accompany me out. How does that sound? All these days trapped within the academy grounds are killing me.”

Eastsea Academy's adminstration was not very strict as Eastsea City was a prosperous city with good security.

“Alright.” Hearing that Xie Xie would treat him to food, Tang Wulin readily agreed to his request. In reality, he wanted to go complete the task that he had collected from the Blacksmith's a.s.sociation a week ago.

A second rank forging task could fetch Tang Wulin a remuneration of 10,000 to 30,000 federation coins. Within the last few months, he had collected a total of 100,000 federation coins. To him, this was a huge amount of money. If he were to proceed at this pace, he was confident that by the time he needed a second ring, he would've collected enough coins for a hundred-year spirit soul.

A hundred-year spirit soul could provide two soul skills, and it also meant that he could provide two soul rings. This alone was very important to Tang Wulin.

“I'm going too!” Gu Yue had unknowingly appeared beside them.

Xie Xie spoke with a face of distaste, “I don't bring girls out to play!”

Gu Yue gave a cold hum and looked towards Tang Wulin. “Are you going with him, or with me?”

Xie Xie answered arrogantly, “Isn't that obvious? We're roommates and buddies, what about you?”
