Chapter 411 - The First Semesters Final Exam (2/2)

Xu Lizhi's pork buns had given him some strength, enough for him to focus on recovering with his own effort. He sat down, crossed his legs, and began meditating. The second he began, he exhaled deeply. No wonder the Holy Spirit Douluo said Gu Yue and I would need a month to recover. My body's condition is even worse than I imagined! I'm lucky my meridians weren't damaged.

He was shocked by the state of his body. Only a few drops of soul power remained in it, his blood essence had no vigor, and his complexion was pale. He urged the energies within him to circulate slowly, careful not to harm his organs. If not for the pork buns, he wouldn't have had even the energy to sit with his legs crossed. Just what was that soul fusion skill? My entire body is a mess! Well, all I can do now is take my time to recover. I'm lucky I didn't suffer any lasting injuries.

All Tang Wulin could do was use the Mysterious Heaven Method to direct his feeble blood essence and soul power throughout his body. A trickle of soul power soon formed within him.

The Holy Spirit Douluo's evaluation of him had been wrong. His body far exceeded the norm. With the addition of Xu Lizhi's pork buns, it only took him three days to gather some soul power in his body. With this bit of soul power, his recovery hastened rapidly. He only needed ten days to recover to eighty percent of peak condition. The remaining twenty percent couldn't be forced, and he would have to slowly work at it. According to his own observations, it would take him another ten days to get back to tip-top condition.

Tang Wulin spent those ten days going through a monotonous routine.

Attend cla.s.s. Forge. Cultivate. Study.

But there was one difference. The students of the first grade were far more united than they had been at the beginning of the school year. All of Tang Wulin's cla.s.smates now greeted him with sincere smiles when they saw him. Everyone was in a frenzy to grow stronger.

Tang Wulin didn't try the soul fusion skill with Gu Yue again. The side effects were costly. He had asked Wu Zhangkong, Feng Wuyu, and Zhuo s.h.i.+ about it, but none of them could make heads or tails of their situation. The only thing they were certain about was that their soul fusion skill was so extremely domineering that it could possibly even be on the level of a divine fusion. The two t.i.tled Douluos told him to wait until he gained another soul ring before attempting to practice using it.

Tang Wulin didn't dispute this. Being decommissioned for an entire month was too high of a cost for him. He couldn't afford to lose a month of cultivation.

As for Gu Yue, she acted as if nothing had happened, although she did distance herself from everyone else a bit more than usual. However, since everyone was busy with cultivating, Tang Wulin didn't find it odd that he saw her less.

Ye Xinglan held off from making any more pieces of battle armor. At this point in time, she needed to increase her soul power rank. She had just barely succeeded in making Tang Wulin's gauntlet by a hair's breadth. It was too dangerous for her to attempt making something of that level again, so everyone agreed that she had to wait until she had four soul rings.

All of them walked their own unique path of cultivation, all striving to advance. Xie Xie conspicuously disappeared the most often. As soon as lunch ended, he would scurry off somewhere only to return late in the evening and pa.s.s out on his bed. Xu Xiaoyan also went missing for large chunks of time. They were all busy working toward their own goals.

Tang Wulin's schedule was the most rigid of them all. He focused on forging, cultivated on the side, and gorged himself to improve his blood essence. He made small gains every day.

The days pa.s.sed just like this, and in the blink of an eye, the end of the semester was upon them.

Shen Yi stood behind the lectern in the cla.s.sroom with a s.h.i.+ning smile on her face.

“The first semester's final exam you've all been looking forward to is almost here,” she said.

Countless students sat up straight when she swept her gaze across them. The exam we've all been looking forward to? No way! No one looks forward to exams!

Apprehension gripped the hearts of many students. Ten students would be expelled this year, and they didn't know how many would be given the boot in this exam.

Sure enough, Shen Yi's next words made the weakest students pale.

“Five people will be expelled according to the results of the exam. Work hard if you don't want to be one of those five.”

Five people… Tang Wulin clenched his fists.

Shen Yi looked at him. “Speak.”

Tang Wulin steeled himself. “Teacher Shen, is there any way to avoid having anyone expelled?”

She quirked a brow at his question. “There is.”

Huh? There is? Everyone had expected Shen Yi to say no. This was Shrek Academy after all!

Yet she said there was a way!
