"Hmph! Isn't Wu Changkong a very arrogant guy? I want to see how his students can defeat Class 1!" Kong Hanwen, the head teacher of Class 4 and the head teacher of Class 2, beside him, nodded and snorted coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Zhangkong brought the students from Class 5 to the outside of the venue, causing a commotion.
Forced by Wu Changkong's icy temperament, the students consciously made way for him, and Kong Hanwen, the head teacher of Class 4, also tactfully shut his mouth, because no matter how strong the freshman Class 5 was, Wu Changkong's personal strength was unquestionable, and it should not be a problem for him to beat the other four head teachers of the first grade alone.
Freshman Class 5 stood opposite Freshman Class 1. Wu Changkong looked at Class 1 calmly, his eyes swept across the sisters Ye Yingluo and Ye Yingrong without any emotional change. Such a normal look, in Ye Yingluo's view, was naked disregard!
Ye Yingluo exploded immediately. She felt insulted, and her self-esteem suffered a great blow. She suppressed the anger and resentment in her heart and said to Jing Shaoyu, "Shaoyu, don't hold back; let them see what the difference is!"
"Okay, Teacher Ye." Jing Shaoyu replied, with a strange look in his eyes. To be honest, he was still looking forward to this game. This should be the first formal contact between him and Tang Wulin. He also wanted to find out whether his Origin Elf Martial Soul could suppress Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with divine blood, just like he did with Ma Zhiyuan's Green Spirit Vine Martial Soul.
The director of the intermediate department, Long Hengxu, had already arrived at the competition stage and asked Wu Changkong in a deep voice, "Teacher Wu, how many people will be competing in your class today?"
The number of players participating will be determined by the challenger's class, which is one of the rules of the promotion tournament.
"Three people from our class will compete." Wu Zhangkong said expressionlessly. A three-person battle is a classic format in soul master battles.
He waved his hand, and Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie walked out from the students in Class 5.
"Teacher Ye, please send three students from your freshman class to compete." Long Hengxu nodded and said to Ye Yingluo.
Ye Yingluo raised her head proudly and said calmly, "Shaoyu, Yangzi, Jinxi, you go ahead!"
She thought to herself, Wu Changkong, I will let you experience the shame I once felt! Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi are both level 22 Great Spirit Masters, and Jing Shaoyu's spirit power has even reached level 28. I want to see what your three crooked students will do!
Jing Shaoyu, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi walked out of Class 1, causing quite a commotion. Class 5 students were whispering, and Xie Xie and Tang Wulin were also muttering.
"Wulin, isn't that the boy in Class 1 who is very close to Gu Yue?"
"It's him. I didn't expect that he could represent Class 1. He must be very strong, right?"
"Hehe, maybe during the competition later, I can let Gu Yue use the beauty trap to get him to let go!"
Xie Xie teased in a low voice, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt two cold gazes that made his body stiffen instantly, one from Wu Changkong and the other from Gu Yue.
"The contestants from both teams are entering now." Long Hengxu announced loudly.
Jing Shaoyu and the other two stepped onto the competition stage together, but Gu Yue, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie took the stage one after the other, and it seemed that Gu Yue was the main one among the three. Gu Yue had a blank expression on his face, but his eyes never left Jing Shaoyu's body.
The two teams stood in formation, and the formations of the two teams were the same, with two people in front and one person in the back. On the first team side, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi were in front, and Jing Shaoyu was in the back. On the fifth team's side, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were in front, and Gu Yue was in the back.
"Both sides get ready!" Long Hengxu raised one hand and looked at the two teams with complicated eyes.
Today's situation had something to do with him because he was the one who allowed Xie Xie and Gu Yue to enter Class Five. But he also felt wronged because he was only following the academy's rules and regulations. Who could have thought that such a situation would occur?
"Freshman Class 1, Jing Shaoyu." Jing Shaoyu said loudly with an unchanged smile.
"Freshman Class 1, Wang Jinxi."
"Freshman Class 1, Zhang Yangzi."
Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi also followed Jing Shaoyu's actions and followed Tongming.
Tang Wulin looked at Jing Shaoyu curiously and said seriously, "Freshman Class 5, Tang Wulin."
"Xie Xie." Compared to Tang Wulin's calmness, Xie Xie seemed particularly excited, with a gleam of eagerness in his eyes.
"Gu Yue." Finally, it was Gu Yue's calm and cold voice.
After both sides had introduced themselves, Long Hengxu emphasized, "This is an internal competition within the academy. It's a one-on-one match. You must not intentionally harm your opponent, otherwise, the academy will give you the appropriate punishment!"
"Yes!" both sides responded in unison.
"Begin!" Long Hengxu stopped talking nonsense and shouted. The ultimate showdown between the first-year freshmen finally began.
The four students standing in the front row rushed out at the same time, releasing their respective martial spirits as they advanced. Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, and Xie Xie were all carrying two yellow hundred-year spirit rings, but Tang Wulin had a solitary white spirit ring floating behind him, which seemed to disrupt the formation.
It has to be said that Tang Wulin's white soul ring was extremely conspicuous at this moment, which surprised his two opponents, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, and also made many students watching the game feel very disappointed. This was the showdown of the first grade, and a white soul ring sneaked in. This made people's expectations go in vain.
"White soul ring?!"
"Ten-year soul ring?!"
"How did this little brother get on the stage?"
"What's going on? I came here to see this?"
The noise from the audience did not affect the contestants on the stage. Gu Yue and Jing Shaoyu also released their martial spirits at the same time as the four people in front of them released their martial spirits.
Two yellow spirit rings appeared behind Gu Yue, which slightly reduced the noise and complaints from the audience. However, with the appearance of Jing Shaoyu's spirit ring, the atmosphere on the scene instantly reaches a climax.
"Wow--" A flapping sound accompanied by a pair of white wings appeared, followed by a jade ring emitting soft green light. Jing Shaoyu's appearance changed dramatically. A rich breath of life emanated, making the surrounding air extremely fresh and making people feel as if they were in a primitive jungle, full of the smell of nature.
Purple! Purple!
Two circles of luxurious purple soul rings appeared behind Jing Shaoyu, making him, who was already noble and elegant after being possessed by the martial spirit, look more like a noble descendant of heaven, majestic and noble beyond words.
Jing Shaoyu's eyes narrowed slightly. The aura of a 28th-level great soul master and the pressure of the thousand-year soul ring immediately replaced the gentleness released by the Origin Elf Martial Soul, causing Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who were standing opposite him, to instantly feel a heavy pressure.
The pressure from the two thousand-year soul rings and the soul power close to that of a soul master made Tang Wulin, who was only at level 12, turn pale instantly, his eyes full of surprise and horror.
As a great soul master, Xie Xie felt that his body was stagnant and difficult to move, with a little sweat oozing from his forehead, and it was difficult for him to walk.
"How is this possible?! How is this possible? Two thousand-year spirit rings!" Xie Xie roared in disbelief in his heart. His pride was shattered bit by bit. At this moment, he realized that he had been blinded for too long because of the pride of his twin martial spirits.
Wu Changkong, who always looked cold and indifferent to everything, suddenly shrank his pupils when he saw the two purple soul rings floating behind Jing Shaoyu and stared at Jing Shaoyu intently.
His inappropriate behavior was naturally seen by Ye Yingluo, who was always paying attention to him, which made Ye Yingluo feel very comfortable. She wanted to walk over and highlight her presence in front of Wu Changkong.
However, Wu Zhangkong did not care about these at all at this moment. His heart was entirely on Jing Shaoyu. Two thousand-year soul rings, a cultivation level close to that of a Soul Master at the age of nine, and a top-level martial soul that could cause a small-scale movement of heaven and earth vitality as soon as it appeared.
Any one of these was enough to make him a super genius, not to mention that all three were gathered in one person!
He was shocked. Such talent was rare even in Shrek Academy, which had a history of thousands of years. Perhaps only the brilliant masters of Poseidon Pavilion in history could be compared with him at the same age!
Wu Zhangkong's frozen heart was slightly shaken. He recalled the past. If he could train Jing Shaoyu and send him to Shrek Academy in the future, perhaps he could make up for the mistakes he made.
Even Wu Changkong was shocked, not to mention the other people watching around, who all shouted excitedly. The only ones who remained calm at the scene were a class of students and a few people like Ouyang Zixin, who knew Jing Shaoyu's monstrous talents.
