Class Advancement Tournament: Class Five VS Class One

The next day arrived quickly. Within minutes after school let out that afternoon, a large crowd had gathered on the Training Field.

Many teachers had come as well, all waiting to watch the final Class Advancement Tournament match of the day.

"Who would've thought that First Grade Class Five, the class at the bottom, would bulldoze their way through three straight victories? Maybe this dark horse will keep going all the way to the end."

"Don't dream. This year's First Grade Class One is terrifyingly strong."

"Exactly. Three students in their class are already two-ring Soul Grandmasters. Class Five's three competitors are all one-ring Soul Masters. Winning will probably be impossible!"

Amid the crowd, many people began discussing the match. While they were astonished by First Grade Class Five's strength, they were equally shocked by the sheer power of Class One.

Many believed that for First Grade Class Five to win the upcoming match would be nothing more than wishful thinking.

"They're here!"

Just as many people were discussing First Grade Class Five, Wu Zhangkong arrived at the venue with the students of Class Five.

Everyone focused their attention on Class Five.

This was the dark horse class that had bulldozed its way through every match. Although they felt Class Five could not possibly defeat Class One today, many still wanted to see how they performed.

They even held a small hope in their hearts that perhaps Class Five would create another miracle today.

Almost at the same time, Ye Yingluo, First Grade Class One's homeroom teacher, also led her students to the edge of the venue.

A wave of cheers immediately broke out.

Ye Yingluo looked around twenty-seven or twenty-eight. She was a female teacher whose appearance bore at least a sixty-percent resemblance to Ye Yingrong's.

There was a trace of arrogance between her brows.

The three students at the front of the group behind her were today's competitors.

One was named Wei Xiaofeng. He wore an arrogant expression, brimming with confidence.

In the middle stood a tall youth who appeared mature and steady.

On the other side was an exceptionally thin boy with a cold, sinister gaze.

"Elder Sister!"

As Ye Yingluo led Class One's students into the venue, Ye Yingrong stepped forward to greet her.

Ye Yingluo was Ye Yingrong's biological elder sister. Wu Zhangkong had once rejected her without mercy, and she had harbored resentment toward him ever since.

Ye Yingluo looked at Wu Zhangkong, her eyes filled with hatred.

Although Wu Zhangkong's students had performed brilliantly enough to surprise even her, she had great confidence in her own three students. Today, she would have them defeat Class Five and vent her anger for her.

"Yang Zi, teach them a brutal lesson!"

Ye Yingluo turned and spoke to the steady youth behind her.

Her eyes narrowed, and her voice was icy. She glanced at Wu Zhangkong as though she wanted to tear him apart.

"Don't worry, Teacher. We'll definitely beat them flat!"

"We're two-ring Soul Masters. Why should we fear three one-ring Soul Masters? Don't worry, Teacher!"

Yang Zi nodded, clenching his fists, his face full of confidence.

"Good. I'm looking forward to your performance!"

Ye Yingluo nodded in satisfaction.

"Everyone, quiet down. The match is about to begin!"

At that moment, Dean of Students Long Hengxu stepped onto the platform and began speaking into the Soul Tool Microphone.

"Teacher Wu, how many students will your class be sending out today?"

Since First Grade Class Five was the challenger, the number of participants was decided by Class Five and was not fixed.

"Our class will be sending out four students today!"

Wu Zhangkong said, glancing at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin had secretly approached him several times and demonstrated his strength.

He also knew that Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was actually the top-tier Blue Silver Emperor.

His Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was powerful as well.

The reason Tang Wulin had displayed his strength was that he wanted to compete.

This time, Wu Zhangkong intended to let Tang Wulin compete too.

"Four..."

Ye Yingluo froze for a moment when she heard Wu Zhangkong's words.

Wasn't it always three? Could it be that they had hidden an outstanding student as their trump card?

For some reason, Ye Yingluo's heart skipped a beat at that moment, and she suddenly felt a little less confident.

Many others were also stunned when they heard Wu Zhangkong's words, and all eyes turned toward him.

At that moment, Tang Wulin stepped out from behind Wu Zhangkong and took his place beside Xie Xie.

Xie Xie and the other two glanced at Tang Wulin in confusion. They had not known this would be a four-person battle.

"Alright, then First Grade Class One will also send four contestants!"

Long Hengxu glanced at Wu Zhangkong, a puzzled look appearing on his face as he studied Tang Wulin a few more times.

Could Tang Wulin be the trump card Wu Zhangkong had arranged for this match? "Alright!"

Ye Yingluo answered, turning to look behind her before finally selecting a student named Li Kui.

"Alright, contestants from both sides, take the field. I must emphasize again: stop when appropriate. Deliberately injuring your opponents is forbidden. Otherwise, the academy will impose additional punishment!"

As Long Hengxu finished speaking, the contestants from both sides stepped onto the field together, their gazes toward one another far from friendly.

The moment they took the field, the air was already thick with hostility.

The four students from Class One even gave thumbs-down gestures in provocation.

"Begin!"

The instant Long Hengxu's words fell, Wei Xiaofeng and Xie Xie from Class One rushed out almost simultaneously.

They had known each other before and had long found each other unbearable.

Two yellow Hundred-Year Soul Rings instantly appeared beneath Wei Xiaofeng's feet. Azure light flickered, and a small green snake appeared on his shoulder.

Its entire body was jade-green, and it even had a pair of translucent green wings on its back.

At that moment, Wei Xiaofeng's body became exceedingly flexible, while his skin was covered by a faint layer of green.

His Martial Soul was the Azure Shadow Snake, making him an Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master.

Almost at the same time, two yellow Soul Rings lit up beneath Xie Xie's feet as well, and his entire aura surged dramatically.

The Light Dragon Dagger in his hand had shrunk by a size compared to before, but it was more solid, with clear patterns running across it and an overpowering aura emanating from it.

"Two rings? Wasn't he one-ringed?"

"Yeah, how is that possible?"

When Xie Xie revealed two Soul Rings, the faces of First Grade Class One's students turned ugly, and Ye Yingluo rose directly from her seat.

Xie Xie must have only just broken through.

Her expression darkened as she began to grow nervous.

The other spectators also showed shocked expressions.

"When did Xie Xie gain two rings?"

Even many students from First Grade Class Five looked excited. They had not known Xie Xie had already become a two-ringed Soul Grandmaster.

Boom! In the blink of an eye, Xie Xie and Wei Xiaofeng collided. Xie Xie's face was cold as he transformed into a streak of golden light and bore down on Wei Xiaofeng.

The others did not remain idle either. Tang Wulin released his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, its leaves much broader and tougher than before.

Ever since Ah Yin had completely awakened his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul and bloodline, his Martial Soul had become far stronger than before.

The white Soul Ring around him flashed, and the little grass snake Soul Spirit Golden Light appeared on his shoulder.

With a sweep of his hand, densely packed Blue Silver Emperor Vines surged toward Li Kui.

His Soul Power was the lowest among the three, and his opponent was Li Kui, the weakest member of Class One.

Li Kui was also a one-ringed Soul Master.

Gu Yue charged toward Wang Jinxi, who possessed two yellow Hundred-Year Soul Rings.

At that moment, his lean body rapidly swelled. He raised both arms as a faint black aura burst forth from his body.

Taking large strides, he charged toward Gu Yue.

His arms remained raised, and black flames seemed to burn within his eyes.

Boom! Gu Yue waved her hand, launching a fireball! A mass of black light appeared in Wang Jinxi's palm as he slapped it toward the fireball.

With a sharp crack, the fireball was instantly extinguished.

At that moment, Long Yuan also faced Yang Zi of Class Three, the strongest member of Class Three.

With a wave of his hand, Water Element condensed into a Water Dragon that soared above his head.

"Go!"

With a low shout, the Water Dragon charged toward Yang Zi.
