Chapter 99 - The Eve of the First Grade's Decisive Battle

Eastsea Academy.

The hurricane struck Eastsea City this time with a suddenness, throwing the entire city into chaos. Stores were unable to do business, schools were unable to teach, and communications had been paralyzed. Every single department of the city's administration was completely swamped with work.

The hurricane lasted a whole week. At its peak, it was even able to uproot large trees and bring about great destruction to the buildings.

Fortunately, it had now pa.s.sed.

After the hurricane, Eastsea City appeared fresher than before. A thin mist created a veil in the air while suns.h.i.+ne sprinkled the earth. Occasionally, the two would combine to create a rainbow off in the clear horizon.

“What's going on with that guy? He still hasn't answered his communicator. Maybe the communicator ran out of power and we can't get through to him anymore.” Xie Xie currently wasn't in the mood to go outside and appreciate the beautiful scenery. He sat in the teacher's building like an anxious cat on a hot tin roof.

The reason for his agitation was simple: he couldn't contact Tang Wulin at all.

As the hurricane pa.s.sed by, Xie Xie had been hard at work cultivating under the guidance of Wu Zhangkong and had been able to make a breakthrough. After making this breakthrough, the first thing he wanted to do was tell all of his good friends. Yet, who could have imagined that he wouldn't be able to get through to Tang Wulin's communicator.

More importantly, today was the day they returned to cla.s.s yet Tang Wulin was still nowhere to be found. Xie Xie didn't even know where he'd gone.

Returning to cla.s.s also meant that the Cla.s.s Promotion Tournament would resume after! Their opponent was the first grade's cla.s.s one, the cla.s.s with the strongest new students in all of the academy's history!

Tang Wulin, this guy, where the h.e.l.l are you!?

“Do you know which workshop he's in? Maybe we can go find him in the afternoon?” Gu Yue's brows were creased and her eyes were full of worry.

Xie Xie forced out a bitter smile. “I don't have much of an interest in forging, so how would I know where his workshop is? He even called me that day to specially explain that he would be staying at his workshop and he wouldn't have any troubles there! But how come there still isn't any news from him? Could it be that he actually forgot the time?”

Gu Yue's expression was overcast and gloomy as she steadily said, “What do you know then? Let's go over to the Blacksmith's a.s.sociation in the afternoon; maybe his workshop is registered with them.”

Xie Xie didn't refute Gu Yue for once, but instead nodded his head and agreed. “That's a good idea. Let's go there later.”

Tang Wulin still hadn't shown up to cla.s.s, even as it was dismissed at noon. Xie Xie and Gu Yue went to find Wu Zhangkong before they quickly flew out of the campus, heading straight for the Blacksmith's a.s.sociation.

An hour later, however, they left the Blacksmith's a.s.sociation with gloomy expressions.

The Blacksmith's a.s.sociation's reply had been very simple: any information regarding forging s.p.a.ces registered with the a.s.sociation was confidential and could not be leaked out. It would only be possible if they had the approval of the government. Moreover, Tang Wulin's information was on an even higher level of confidentiality than ordinary blacksmiths.

'What do we do now? Should we ask Teacher Wu to apply for a government permit and then come back and ask?” Gu Yue asked Xie Xie.

Xie Xie laughed bitterly. “We don't have enough time for that! It's easy to get a government permit, but what we're short on is time! Our request definitely wouldn't be approved today while our match is tonight. I'm afraid it'll be up to the two of us to win this battle. Wulin isn't this type of unreliable person! He must have met with some problem that prevented him from coming.”

Gu Yue raised her head and revealed a sour expression. “We can discuss this after we return. Either way, let's first have Teacher Wu apply for a government permit. It's crucial that Wulin is there for our match.”

“En.”

“A government permit?” Wu Zhangkong stared at his two students, his originally ice-cold expression gradually thawing to reveal gloom.

Tang Wulin hadn't gone to any of his cla.s.ses at all and they weren't able to find him anywhere.

“Alright then, you two hurry on back to cla.s.s first. I will handle this,” Wu Zhangkong coldly said.
