Several people were stunned.
Shouldn't it be three people?
This Teacher Wu's appearance was very striking. They had seen him watching the Class Promotion Match. But among them, only Xie Xie, Huo Yuhao, and Gu Yuena hadn't fought in the arena...
Wu Changkong looked at Xu Xiaoyan. His cold, stern demeanour made her lower her head timidly. "Teacher Luo told me that your martial soul, the Star Track Ice Staff, can only exert its full power at night."
Xu Xiaoyan's heart jumped, but years of strict family training had toughened her originally timid character.
She took a deep breath, looked up and met Wu Changkong's gaze. "Yes, my martial soul can only truly be at its strongest at night!"
Wu Changkong: "Good. Then Tang Wulin, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie, you five will fight Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena! Let me see how strong the other four are. I will arrange your practical combat training based on this battle!"
Xie Xie's face freezes.
What was this cold, aloof heartthrob saying? Have them fight Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena?
Thanks a lot!
Not only Xie Xie, but Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi's expressions also became uneasy.
5 vs. 2.
The advantage seemed to be on their side, but none of them felt that was the case.
Just recalling the battle scene between Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena from that day, they understood that was not a level they could reach at present...
While the others remained silent, Xie Xie suddenly looked at Huo Yuhao and said solemnly: "Boss Huo!"
"Why the sudden 'Boss'?" Huo Yuhao was startled and looked at him with amusement.
"I'm calling you Boss, please go easy on us!" A smile appeared on Xie Xie's face. "Take it easy when we fight."
"Maybe?" Huo Yuhao smiled. "And don't call me Boss. It sounds strange."
"Come on — be more definite!"
Beside them, Tang Wulin glanced thoughtfully at Xie Xie.
When they had gone to the snack street before, Xie Xie had told him about the strength of Student Yuhao. Now, seeing the former like this, he had a better idea.
Through their time together, he had already understood Xie Xie's personality — cold on the outside, but actually a goofball.
When he revealed his true nature, it meant that Xie Xie couldn't hold it in anymore. The strength of Students Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena was probably far beyond his imagination.
Xu Xiaoyan also sensed something from this strange atmosphere. Her expression became grave. She wanted to discuss it with the new friend she had made today, only to find that Gu Yuena had already walked over to Huo Yuhao's side and turned to look at them.
Her cold expression made it seem like she wasn't the type to go easy.
Xu Xiaoyan: "..."
Friendship... shattered!
Seeing how the group was interacting, Wu Changkong thought for a moment, then led them to the training ground.
Behind the dormitory forest, there was a large training ground specially prepared for them.
In the night sky, the stars and moon shine brightly.
Under the moonlight, the group walked through the shaded path toward the training ground.
As they walked, Xie Xie and the other five exchanged information.
That afternoon, the seven had communicated briefly and got to know each other, but they hadn't discussed their martial soul abilities.
Xie Xie looked at Xu Xiaoyan. "You've been sticking to Gu Yuena all day. How much do you know about her and Yuhao's strength?"
He felt that, to avoid being beaten up in the future, he might as well just call Huo Yuhao "Boss" from now on. With the gap in their strength, it wasn't shameful.
Xu Xiaoyan shook her head. "Student Gu Yuena is a bit... introverted, so I didn't ask."
"Then listen up. She's a Level 28 Great Spirit Master, martial soul Elementalist, able to control six elements. Boss Huo is a Level 34... actually, I'm afraid Level 35 now — Spirit Elder, martial soul Spirit Eyes — a spiritual attribute Body Martial Soul."
Xu Xiaoyan's eyes widened: "..."
There were two freaks here!
While the five on one side were communicating their abilities and tactics, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena were casually chatting using Spiritual Sharing.
"The Star Track Ice Staff's properties at night — you've seen something similar before. She can perform absolute control. Be careful."
"...I understand."
Hearing this, Gu Yuena thought of that night's sparring session. Her face slightly red, she nodded.
Arriving at the training ground, Luo Yanglu and Wu Changkong stood to the side. The other seven stood in two teams.
On one side, Xu Xiaoyan, as the main control spirit master, took the rear. Xie Xie guarded her side. The others were at the front.
Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena were only two people — there wasn't much of a formation to speak of.
Wu Changkong's gaze swept back and forth between the two sides, his eyes flickering.
When Class Zero had first been arranged, although he had agreed, it was only out of consideration for his position. It didn't mean he had high hopes for this class.
But now... something was different.
He glanced in the direction of Huo Yuhao
and Gu Yuena, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Begin!"
He wanted to see with his own eyes whether the two of them truly had the talent described in the records.
"Wulin — charge with me!"
Wang Jinxi said to Tang Wulin beside him.
In today's match, he had already recognized Tang Wulin's strength.
"Okay!" Tang Wulin didn't hesitate. He charged forward with Wang Jinxi. At the same time, his martial soul and spirit rings appeared.
Hundred-year spirit rings appeared around them.
"Student Xu Xiaoyan — we're counting on you. Be careful."
Zhang Yangzi also said to Xu Xiaoyan, then released his spirit rings and charged toward Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena. A pair of wings shimmering with a faint black halo spread open behind him.
The time they had had on the way here had been plenty plenty. They had been able to learn a bit about each other. After learning about Xu Xiaoyan's martial soul ability, he had ceded the control position to her.
Hopefully, it would work.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Xie Xie, who was lingering near Xu Xiaoyan, and guessed their plan. He smiled slightly.
"I'll leave that side to you."
"Yes." Gu Yuena nodded gently.
The moment the words fell, they simultaneously released their spirit rings and martial souls.
Yellow, yellow!
Purple, purple, purple!
Huo Yuhao's three purple spirit rings came into view. A nearly Spirit Elder — and another outright Spirit Elder — brought an extremely terrifying oppression to Xu Xiaoyan. Her face paled for a moment.
Even though Xie Xie had just told her about their cultivation levels, she was still somewhat shocked.
The legend that Class One was a class of monsters... turned out to be true!
The three charging toward Huo Yuhao also had grave expressions. Zhang Yangzi directly activated his spirit ability.
First Spirit Ability — Dark Curtain!
Zhang Yangzi's first spirit ring beneath his feet blazed with light. The wings behind him instantly enlarged. Darkness spread from him, quickly covering a ten-meter radius, enveloping his companions, as well as Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.
But the next moment, a brilliant light shone from within the darkness, illuminating everyone's figures.
Gu Yuena had used the light element!
The moment their figures were revealed, a flash of light passed through Huo Yuhao's eyes. An invisible spiritual wave rapidly spread outward, enveloping all seven people present. The surrounding air even twisted and twisted for a moment.
"A domain?!"
Wu Changkong's pupils contracted. He stared intently in Huo Yuhao's direction. His cold expression showed a visible change.
A Level 35 Spirit Elder at nine years old a spiritual attribute Body Martial Soul, an innate martial soul domain... so many aura aura overlay on a single person he had never seen anything like it!
Did Shrek Academy have such an exist at the same age?
At least he couldn't do it!
I'm afraid only the Sea God Pavilion's master had achieved such things in his youth?
If only he could...
"Ahem!"
A light cough interrupted Wu Changkong's thoughts.
