Chapter 85 of the First Person
Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan said, on the verge of tears. Tang Wulin could only smile helplessly from the side.
As the three talked, they arrived at the classroom where they would be attending classes for the next few years.
In the huge tiered classroom that could hold hundreds of people, the first row, right in the middle, was occupied by four people who had arrived early.
He Yushu raised an eyebrow at Qian Gu Chenran, who was still yawning, and Qian Gu Chenran responded with a smile.
The other trainees looked at the four who had taken their seats early, their faces displaying a variety of expressions. Some even looked at the other three, besides Gu Yue, with disbelief, clearly recognizing them.
"Now, those who hear my name, please take your seats according to the name I say." Shen Yi began calling out names one by one, carrying a list.
After everyone was seated, He Yushu gave Shen Yi a wink and then turned to leave.
"Students! On behalf of Shrek Academy, I welcome you. What I'm about to say concerns your academic journey over the next few years..."
After explaining what they would be doing at the academy for the next few years, Shen Yi gave them some time to process it before continuing:
"Today we will select seven class officers. These seven class officers are: one class monitor, two vice class monitors, one forging committee member, one design committee member, one production committee member, and one maintenance committee member. They will each correspond to one of the four sub-professions."
"Shrek Academy believes in the supremacy of strength, and the four committee members should be selected from the four students with the highest professional levels. The highest level in our class is Qian Gu Chen Ran. He is not only a level six blacksmith but also a level six soul master."
Passing the Level 6 Soul Master exam proves that Qian Gu Chenran has reached Level 6 in all three professions: mecha design, mecha manufacturing, and mecha repair. Therefore, Qian Gu Chenran will serve as one of the four class committee members. Do you have any objections?
All the students hurriedly shook their heads. What a joke! The four class representatives were surrounded by this monster; how could they dare to object?
Shrek Academy once produced a prodigy who held four positions simultaneously: vice class monitor, mecha design committee member, mecha manufacturing committee member, and mecha repair committee member. But even that person couldn't match this freak who even achieved Level 6 in blacksmithing. He's practically inhuman.
"Alright, since there are no objections, we'll hold the selection process for the three class monitors tomorrow morning. This selection will be a free-for-all, and you can use this time to choose your teammates and prepare for tomorrow's free-for-all. Okay, that's all for now, get out of class dismissed!"
After saying that, Shen Yi and Wu Changkong left the classroom.
The other trainees all focused their attention on the four people in front of them. Although Shen Yi didn't say it explicitly, this period of time was actually given to them for preparation.
As for who to send, it goes without saying that it's those four great demon kings from before.
Qian Gu Chen Ran ignored the stares of others and led the Spirit Pagoda team out first.
Leave the classroom
Na'er immediately sidled up to Qian Gu Chenran and started chattering: "Hey! Chenran, I think many of these students have pretty good talent. Should we recruit them to the Spirit Pagoda?"
"Of course! Otherwise, who will do all those chores? I can't do them myself." Qian Gu Chen Ran rolled his eyes. As a prospective tower master, he would start selecting and training his future... subordinates from today onwards.
Chapter 162 The Plan to Overthrow the Heavenly Lord and Wu Siduo
Lecture Hall
Apart from Qian Gu Chen Ran and the other three who left directly, the other students sat in their seats, lost in doubt about life.
They're going to fight Qian Gu Chen Ran? Really?!
"Aren't you all so unambitious? You finally made it to Shrek Academy, and you're just going to be inferior to others? We, 101 people, couldn't even beat him. We are all the chosen ones from all over the world. I believe that as long as we work together, even Qian Gu Chenran will suffer a great loss."
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, a burly boy with small eyes and a deep voice turned around, trying to boost the morale of the whole class.
"Ha! Do you think Ye Xinglan and Na'er beside him are pushovers? How could we little Soul Masters possibly stand a chance against the three of them working together? Besides, Qian Gu Chenran is also a part-time member of one of our class's four committee members. What will happen to our battle armor if we offend him? Rely on you, Yang Nianxia?"
One of the trainees directly refuted Yang Nianxia's suggestion, saying that unless they were out of their minds, who would want to mess with Qian Gu Chenran?
“This student’s words are different. What Brother Yang just said is not without reason. We have gone through a lot of hardships to get here. Would you be satisfied if we didn’t fight for it?”
The handsome young man with long blue hair stood up and looked at his classmates. He then encouraged them, saying, "A Soul Master's battle is never just about the individual. It emphasizes teamwork."
Thinking back to when Tang San, the Sea God, competed against the three Soul Kings of the Spirit Hall, the evil organization on the continent, didn't he also win with the help of his teammates? I believe we can do the same.
Seeing that he was about to persuade the students who were unwilling to help, Luo Guixing hurriedly added fuel to the fire.
"Everyone! The teacher gave us a day to prepare. This shows that they also want to see us united in our resistance, and you don't want to disappoint the teacher, do you?"
"Bang! That's right! I was taught by Teacher Shen for a while before. Teacher Shen hates students who are passive and avoid problems. As men, we should bravely move forward and fight against the dust of the past."
As soon as Luo Guixing finished speaking, an obese young man with a large stomach immediately slammed his fist on the table in support of Luo Guixing.
The other trainees looked at Xu Lizhi, whose face was flushed, with strange expressions. The three little ones from Donghai in the corner rubbed their eyes and looked at the somewhat familiar young man in disbelief.
"Is this Xu Lizhi?" Xie Xie looked at his two companions in shock. It had only been a few years since they last met, how could Xu Lizhi have gained so much weight?
This isn't just a matter of how many kilograms it weighs; it's several times more.
Tang Wulin was equally shocked, nodding and shaking his head repeatedly. How could his good roommate suddenly look like this?
Xu Lizhi also noticed the three of them. He waved to them, and they waved back.
It must be said that Xu Lizhi's explanation was quite effective. Once Shen Yi brought it up, the other students immediately agreed with Luo Guixing's suggestion. If it was truly as the other side claimed, that the teacher wanted to see them rise up in resistance, then their previous ideas would certainly leave a bad impression on the teacher.
"In that case, please tell me your martial soul characteristics and abilities. I will divide you into groups according to your abilities to improve our combat strength." Luo Guixing took out a stack of blueprints and distributed them to everyone.
When Tang Wulin saw that the other students had all stepped forward to write down their martial soul abilities, he did not choose to be different. Instead, he took Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie and went forward to write together.
"Top-tier dragon bloodline! Absolutely true! Both of your twin martial souls are agility-based martial souls. You three have truly given me a wonderful surprise!" Luo Guixing flipped through the other students' drawings of their martial soul characteristics, which remained unchanged until he found Tang Wulin and the other two's drawings. He immediately praised them loudly.
With his top-tier dragon bloodline, Tang Wulin can work with Yang Nianxia and other soul masters to directly confront Qian Gu Chenran.
Xie Xie, a character specializing in agility and offense, can constantly roam outside the battlefield, putting pressure on Qian Gu Chen Ran. And of the three, Luo Gui Xing values Xu Xiao Yan the most.
Although her cultivation level is not outstanding among all the students, the fact that she possesses two absolutely powerful soul skills means that her Dao rank will not decline now or in the future; on the contrary, it will rise.
The other students also looked at Xu Xiaoyan in shock. A truly powerful soul skill, if used well, could be a real trump card, enough to turn the tide of battle.
Feeling the expectant gazes from everyone, Xu Xiaoyan lowered her head shyly, pointing her index fingers together.
Luo Guixing noticed her little action and immediately looked at Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who were scratching their heads in embarrassment.
"Um... haha. Classmates!" Xie Xie reluctantly spoke up under the threatening gazes of Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan.
"Xiao Yan's martial soul is not fully mutated. Her Star Wheel Ice Staff can only be used as a soul skill with absolute validity at night."
"What about during the day?" The thin, pale-faced, gray-haired young man looked at Xie Xie.
"During the day, it's just a regular popsicle stick."
After hearing Xie Xie's words, the students' emotions were like a rollercoaster, suddenly plummeting back to rock bottom.
What's the difference between this and nothing at all?
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Since the teachers hope that we can work together to fight against Qian Gu Chen Ran, we can suggest to them later that we schedule our match for the evening. After all, I believe the teachers don't want to see a one-sided situation either."
Seeing the low morale, Tang Wulin immediately offered his suggestion. Yang Nianxia's eyes also lit up with joy. "Yes, they can suggest it to the two teachers!"
"Tsk! We've got good candidates for agility, control, and power attacks. But what about support? We're lacking a strong support right now."
The purple-haired girl, Zheng Yiran, looked up and scanned the room, then frowned and pointed out their biggest weakness.
Without a good support-type Soul Master, their chances of winning against Qian Gu Chen Ran will only continue to decline.
"Me!" Xu Lizhi raised his left hand, his eyes like those of a lion, his gaze resolute as he looked at the classmates who were all staring at him.
Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. That's right. How could he have forgotten Xu Lizhi? He quickly introduced Xu Lizhi to the classmates present.
During Tang Wulin's introduction, Xu Lizhi also explained the effects of his soul skills to Luo Guixing and others.
After hearing about the results, everyone present felt even more confident about their plan to defeat the Heavenly Emperor.
"Since that's the case, we shouldn't delay. Tang Wulin and I will go and discuss with Teacher Shen and Teacher Wu about moving the competition to the evening so you can practice first."
After saying that, Luo Guixing and Tang Wulin went to find their two homeroom teachers, Shen Yi and Wu Changkong.
The other students also gathered together and discussed their battle plan.
Only one woman, tall, fair-skinned, with long, wavy, reddish-brown hair, looked out the window, lost in thought.
Time has passed! It's been such a long time!
"Hey! Wu Siduo! We're all discussing our battle plan, aren't you going to come and listen?" Yang Nianxia glanced at Wu Siduo, who was sitting alone at the table looking out the window, and waved to her.
Wu Siduo shook her head, then got up and left the classroom.
Chapter 163 The Divine Sword of the Big Dipper
Watching Wu Siduo's departing figure, the group of students looked at each other, completely bewildered.
What's going on? Aren't they comrades on the same side? Why is Wu Siduo ignoring them?
Zheng Yiran clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction: "As expected of someone in the top ten of the genius list, they're just too arrogant."
"Alright, alright! Let's continue discussing our tactics. Wu Siduo possesses twin martial souls. She'll decide what to do based on the situation."
Yang Nianxia acted as a peacemaker, bringing the topic back to tactical discussions.
In Shen Yi and Wu Changkong's office
As the two senior and junior disciples listened to Tang Wulin and Luo Guixing's request, Shen Yi looked at the two confident individuals with a strange expression, unsure of how to respond without hurting their pride.
After listening to their requests, Wu Changkong pondered for a long time and finally agreed.
"I can agree to your request, but from an objective point of view, this request is also somewhat disadvantageous to Qian Gu Chen Ran. After the competition, you two need to raise 20,000 contribution points to compensate Qian Gu Chen Ran."
Can you do that? If you can, I'll grant your request; if not, then forget it.
When Luo Guixing heard that he would be compensated with 2 contribution points, he was also shocked by the amount.
There are only seven positions in the class that can provide contribution points, but four of them have been taken by Qian Gu Chen Ran. Now, if they want to earn points, they can only go to their respective guilds to take on tasks and earn commissions.
The battle hasn't even started yet, and they've already incurred a debt. This isn't worth it! Luo Guixing didn't believe their battle plan was guaranteed to succeed in the first place, and now they have to incur a debt of 10,000 contribution points. Luo Guixing hesitated.
Tang Wulin, on the contrary, nodded without hesitation and agreed to Wu Changkong's request.
"Teacher Wu, we agree to your request." Hearing Tang Wulin's confident reply, Wu Changkong's lips curled into a relieved smile.
Luo Guixing frowned and looked at Tang Wulin beside her, but the other's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Gui Xing! My father once told me that if you have a goal you want to try, you should work your hardest and give it your all. Even if you fail, aren't you still overcoming your past self in the process?"
I'll cover the 20,000 points myself; it won't affect you. After all, I really want to see the strength of Qian Gu Chen Ran, this Heavenly Monarch.
Upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, Luo Guixing smiled. He punched Tang Wulin's chest with his left hand and looked at him with a smile: "We'll split these 20,000 points. I also want to see the legendary strength of the Heavenly Monarch."
After Tang Wulin and Luo Guixing left, Shen Yi smiled and looked at Wu Changkong: "Senior brother, you think highly of that Tang Wulin?"
"Yes!" Wu Changkong nodded.
"He possesses an indescribable leadership quality. In the years I've coached him, I've often seen him lead his team to complete one challenge after another."
Whether it was Luo Guixing just now, or Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan who came with us from the East China Sea, they were all inspired by Tang Wulin's leadership qualities and spirit. I don't know what Qian Gu Chenran is like, but in my heart, Tang Wulin is the best candidate for class monitor.
