Class Promotion Tournament Begins

When Nan Fusheng returned to the dormitory, he was already exhausted, but he still forced himself to sit cross-legged and enter meditation.

"My cultivation speed has already reached its limit. If I want to improve further, I can only find a way to enhance my physical constitution or strengthen my meridians."

Earlier, during the battle between everyone from Class Five and Wu Changkong, Nan Fusheng had already recalled the three Time Worms from his roommates.

He then used Steal during his fight with Wu Changkong, secretly parasitizing him at the same time.

"Wu Changkong truly deserves to be a Spirit Emperor. His cultivation speed alone surpasses the eight people I parasitized before. And this Soul Power circulation speed... is this the Mysterious Heaven Skill?"

After successfully parasitizing Wu Changkong, Nan Fusheng could not wait to test how fast a Spirit Emperor's cultivation speed was. To prevent Wu Changkong from noticing,

Nan Fusheng parasitized him with three Time Worms at once. When Wu Changkong cultivated, they affected his senses, causing him to overlook the fact that his Soul Power cultivation speed had slowed.

"For now, it seems even a six-ringed Spirit Emperor cannot detect my Parasitism. Wu Changkong probably isn't pretending not to notice so he can bait me into breaking the rules."

Why did he say that? Because the people of the Tang Sect regarded the Tang Sect's cultivation methods and ultimate techniques as more precious than their own lives.

While parasitizing Wu Changkong, Nan Fusheng could clearly sense the circulation route of the Tang Sect's cultivation method.

Given Wu Changkong's personality, he would never expose the Tang Sect's precious cultivation method before Nan Fusheng just to bait him into breaking the rules. At least, not before Nan Fusheng became a Tang Sect disciple.

After some thought, Nan Fusheng recalled two Time Worms from the upperclassmen. Leaving them there would only be a waste of time.

Nan Fusheng could draw on other people's Soul Power to cultivate, and he could also draw on the Soul Power they generated during cultivation.

But drawing it in was one thing—it was not some Star Absorbing Grand Technique. On top of the limitations of Nan Fusheng's meridian strength and the like, he could only maintain Soul Power cultivation at a certain maximum intensity.

Unless he chose to directly absorb another person's life force and Soul Power, rather than absorbing the Soul Power they generated during cultivation as he did now.

Nan Fusheng currently had three Time Worms parasitizing Wu Changkong, three on upperclassmen, and another three stored away, waiting until he found suitable targets.

Starting the next day, Tang Wulin received special permission not to participate in physical training. The reason was simple.

In Wu Changkong's view, even his own physical fitness was inferior to Tang Wulin's. Ordinary training was useless for a freakishly gifted person like Tang Wulin. It would be better to spend that time on other cultivation, such as learning how to control Blue Silver Grass more effectively.

Nan Fusheng, whose physical fitness was equally exceptional, also received special permission from Wu Changkong to focus first on cultivating Soul Power and studying his own Martial Soul.

On the third day of physical training, the other students of Grade One Class Five finally could not hold on any longer. A large number of them collapsed. From that day onward, the schedule returned to physical training in the morning and theory classes in the afternoon.

With physical training taking up only half the day, the students actually felt much more relaxed, and no one complained anymore.

Nan Fusheng, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue underwent Spiritual Power tests, and the results were astonishing. Xie Xie's Spiritual Power was twenty-nine, already quite an impressive result among children his age and close to the mid-level of the Spirit Origin Realm.

Tang Wulin's Spiritual Power was forty-four, directly placing him at the mid-level of the Spirit Origin Realm. However, he did not mention that his last test had only measured thirty-eight. His Spiritual Power had improved considerably in such a short time.

The Spiritual Power of those two had already brought Wu Changkong some pleasant surprises, but compared with Nan Fusheng and Gu Yue, they were simply inconspicuous.

Although Nan Fusheng deliberately concealed his Spiritual Power, it still reached ninety-two, directly attaining the peak of the Spirit Origin Realm.

Gu Yue's Spiritual Power was even higher, reaching one hundred and nineteen. It had already surpassed the Spirit Origin Realm altogether.

Among the levels of Spiritual Power, the first was the Spirit Origin Realm. Once one's Spiritual Power test value exceeded one hundred, they directly entered another level, known as the Spirit Connection Realm.

The Spirit Connection Realm meant that one's mind and spirit were connected, and one's intent could reach wherever one's thoughts did. Upon reaching the Spirit Connection Realm, one's control over Spiritual Power began to take shape. One could truly manipulate their own Spiritual Power for their own use and support two yellow Soul Spirits or one purple Soul Spirit.

Only then did Wu Changkong confirm that Gu Yue's Elementalist Martial Soul was likely actually a rare Spirit-type Martial Soul, one that communicated with the elements through powerful Spiritual Power and wielded them for her own use.

Mental System Soul Masters were the rarest and most sought-after in the modern world because they were the most compatible with Mechas. This made Wu Changkong value Nan Fusheng and Gu Yue even more.

Of course, there would be no difference in the harshness of their training. The more the Cold Arrogant Male God valued them, the greater their training volume became.

The following days were extremely fulfilling. They cultivated and meditated diligently six days every week. On the remaining day, they either cultivated in the dormitory or checked on the other dormitories, using the students there to train the Dream Master ability by Stealing dreams.

Whenever Nan Fusheng took an interest in a student, he would directly parasitize them with a Time Worm. Then, at night, he would use the Time Worm on them to Steal their dreams. However, his targets were mostly students from the Intermediate Division.

Fulfilling days always passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, two months had gone by. Nan Fusheng's Soul Power had reached Rank 16, essentially advancing one rank per month. Then, on this day, Wu Changkong called him, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue into his office and told them that the first match of the Class Promotion Tournament would begin next week.

Over those two-plus months, everyone had changed considerably. Most importantly, under Wu Changkong's inhuman "special training," they had become highly coordinated, and the relationship among the four was harmonious. Well, except for the fact that Xie Xie was occasionally stared at by Gu Yue as though he were dead weight.

Without a doubt, Gu Yue was the strongest among the four. Even against Nan Fusheng, all she needed to do was first obscure his vision with the Light Element, then use the Space Element to reposition herself, before bombarding Nan Fusheng with Fireballs, Ice Spikes, and Wind Blades. Nan Fusheng would have no answer to that. Only Gu Yue, who mastered multiple elements, could pull off such a combination.

Though Xie Xie had already exerted every ounce of strength during special training, he still could not catch up to Gu Yue.

However, after more than two months, Xie Xie's Soul Power had astonishingly reached Rank 19. Once he advanced another rank, he could absorb the second Soul Ring from his Century Soul Spirit and advance to Soul Grandmaster.

Gu Yue's Soul Power had reached Rank 17, advancing two ranks. Although Tang Wulin possessed Blue Silver Grass as his Martial Soul, he practiced Martial Soul control diligently every day. Combined with the Advanced Meditation Technique and Wu Changkong's guidance, his Soul Power had also risen by one rank, reaching Rank 12.

"Teacher, who will Class Four send to compete against us? Do you know anything about them?" Xie Xie eagerly asked Wu Changkong.

Wu Changkong said coldly, "It is only a mere Class Four. If you need information before you can defeat them, are you worthy of being my disciples? You have only one task in next week's match: Crush them! Do you understand?"

"Yes!" The four answered in unison.
