Zero Class Daily Life (Seeking Investment! Seeking Monthly Ticket! Seeking Recommendation Ticket!)
First Grade Class Zero's curriculum was simple. Almost every day consisted of practical combat training.
Wu Zhangkong was exceptionally strict. He treated boys and girls equally, never holding back during practical combat, nor did he ever overlook various techniques and precautions. He fulfilled his duties perfectly. The seven Cadets of Zero Class, however, had it rough. Nearly every one of them had received an education from Wu Zhangkong's Teaching Whip.
Wu Zhangkong's strength could be seen from the way he wielded the Teaching Whip. Every strike made the Cadets feel pain that pierced their bones, yet there was not even a trace of injury on their bodies. His control over force had reached perfection.
As more teachers joined, Zero Class's teaching work finally got on track.
More than ten days later, Wu Zhangkong came to the classroom after school.
"Tomorrow, we're going to the Spirit Pagoda." He announced the matter with utmost brevity.
"Teacher, what are we going to the Spirit Pagoda for?" Tang Wulin raised his hand and asked.
Wu Zhangkong explained, "Starting today, you will have one opportunity every week to cultivate in the Spirit Ascension Platform within the Spirit Pagoda. Cherish this opportunity. The academy specifically allocated funds to secure it for you."
After explaining, Wu Zhangkong turned and left, leaving everyone with a dashing back.
Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan were already familiar with the Spirit Ascension Platform, so they did not react much. Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, and Xie Xie were all greatly surprised, while Tang Wulin was thoroughly puzzled. As for Gu Yue, her face remained expressionless, but a trace of something unusual flickered deep in her eyes.
"The academy is really going all out!" Xie Xie sighed. "Joining Zero Class was absolutely the right choice!"
Wang Jinxi agreed wholeheartedly, nodding repeatedly as he said, "Exactly, exactly! The Spirit Ascension Platform! I can't wait!"
Tang Wulin asked Xie Xie in a low voice, "Xie Xie, what exactly is the Spirit Ascension Platform?"
Xie Xie looked surprised. "You don't even know about the Spirit Ascension Platform? That's a great place!"
"Spit it out! I really don't know!" Tang Wulin said.
Xie Xie scratched his head. "The Spirit Ascension Platform... how should I put it? It should be considered a place for training and experience. Soul Masters who enter can hone their combat abilities, and they might even increase the age of their Soul Rings! Shaoyu should know it well, right? Your Soul Rings should have been enhanced in the Spirit Ascension Platform, right?"
Xie Xie looked toward Jing Shaoyu as if asking for help. Tang Wulin also looked at him, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"That's right." Jing Shaoyu chuckled. "The Spirit Ascension Platform is a spiritual world created by the Spirit Pagoda. Soul Masters can enter it and kill the Spirit Beasts inside to obtain a substance known as Spirit Power. After Soul Spirits consume this substance, their cultivation increases. If a Soul Spirit obtains enough Spirit Power, it may undergo a Spirit Ascension evolution and transform into a higher-quality Soul Spirit."
"Yes, yes, that's exactly it!" Xie Xie hurriedly nodded.
"It can actually work like that?" Tang Wulin was thoroughly amazed and pulled Xie Xie along, continuing to ask him all sorts of questions.
"Little Yu Brother, let's go eat!" Xu Xiaoyan took Jing Shaoyu's hand. Her pretty face wore an innocent yet sly smile as she spoke in a bright, cheerful voice.
"Let's go." Jing Shaoyu nodded, then glanced back at Gu Yue and called out, "Gu Yue, want to come eat with us?"
"Okay." Gu Yue did not refuse. She answered lightly, then walked over to Jing Shaoyu's side. Under Xu Xiaoyan's gaze, her expression remained utterly calm.
After more than ten days together, the seven had begun to form friendships. Among them, Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue's relationship had become somewhat delicate because of Jing Shaoyu. Girls at their age might not yet understand what love was, but their inborn possessiveness could still affect how they expressed their emotions.
Jealousy—or perhaps envy—was an emotion girls of any age could have. So it was understandable that Na'er had once grown jealous because of Xu Xiaoyan, and that Xu Xiaoyan now grew jealous because of Gu Yue. They would be fine once they got used to it.
Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue's relationship was quite good now. At the very least, it was no longer as stiff and awkward as it had been at the beginning. Xu Xiaoyan's lively personality was very endearing, while Gu Yue's calm personality was relatively mature. If Jing Shaoyu's existence were not a factor, the two girls could still become very close friends.
Zero Class's dining area was a newly opened counter in the teachers' cafeteria. The meals were all made from carefully selected high-quality ingredients. Most of the meat was Soul Beast Meat, while most of the vegetables were spirit herbs and medicinal plants. From this alone, it was clear that Eastsea Academy had put considerable thought into caring for these Zero Class Cadets.
"Wow! There's Bull Meat today!" Tang Wulin's excited voice came from behind them. Mealtimes were always Tang Wulin's happiest moments, especially since the food at the Zero Class counter had no limits. He was practically beside himself with excitement.
"Little Yu Brother, try this. It seems to be Ten-Year Bull meat." Xu Xiaoyan picked up a piece of beef from her tray, its color rich and its lean and fat portions distinct, and brought it to Jing Shaoyu's mouth.
Naturally, Jing Shaoyu could not refuse. He lowered his head and accepted Xu Xiaoyan's feeding, chewed for a moment, swallowed, and said, "It is indeed."
The Ten-Year Bull was a Spirit Beast raised through artificial breeding. Its meat was delicious and had some benefits for strengthening muscles and bones, making it a popular choice for dietary nourishment.
"I don't like this Green Spirit Vegetable. You eat it." Gu Yue expressionlessly picked up a fresh green vegetable stalk and brought it to Jing Shaoyu's mouth as well.
"All right, I actually quite like Green Spirit Vegetable." Jing Shaoyu smiled. Naturally, he could not refuse Gu Yue's feeding either.
Green Spirit Vegetable was a type of spirit herb that looked much like bok choy and had the effect of calming the mind and clearing one's thoughts.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi silently changed seats. Their faces were full of pained expressions, and they exchanged glances, regretting that they had not learned their lesson and had sat at the same table as Jing Shaoyu's group again. Damn it, they were constantly being force-fed romance at the dinner table. Were they even supposed to eat properly anymore?
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie had been far more foresighted, sitting directly at the dining table behind Jing Shaoyu's group. The food before Tang Wulin was piled into a small mountain, and he ate with great delight. It was only because the teachers were still teaching at this hour that his way of eating did not draw a crowd.
After the meal, Xu Xiaoyan suggested going out for a stroll. Jing Shaoyu had no objections, Gu Yue reserved judgment, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi did not want to go, Xie Xie wanted to cultivate, and Tang Wulin wanted to practice Forging. Thus, only Jing Shaoyu, Xu Xiaoyan, and Gu Yue remained in the end.
Jing Shaoyu seriously suspected that those four guys had deliberately made excuses not to come.
The academy was not particularly strict in managing Zero Class Cadets. Under normal circumstances, they were not stopped if they wished to go out, provided it was not during class hours and they did not stay out overnight.
Since there were three of them, Jing Shaoyu's bicycle was useless. In truth, he did not want to ride it either, lest the two girls start fighting over who got the back seat. That would not be good.
"Where are we going?" Jing Shaoyu asked after they left the academy.
"Hmm, let me think!" Xu Xiaoyan tapped her lips with a fingertip, her little face showing a thoughtful expression. Then her face lit up as she said, "Little Yu Brother, how about we go play at the beach? I've grown up this much, but I've never gone to the beach by myself!"
"The beach?" Jing Shaoyu paused. "Isn't the beach a little far from the academy?"
"Oh, Little Yu Brother, I just want to go to the beach!" Xu Xiaoyan tugged on Jing Shaoyu's hand, swaying it back and forth as she pouted and acted coquettishly.
"All right, all right, the beach it is!" Jing Shaoyu immediately agreed when he saw that.
"Hehe! I knew Little Yu Brother treats me the best!" The little girl immediately beamed with joy.
"Gu Yue, do you have any thoughts?" Jing Shaoyu turned to Gu Yue and asked.
"Huh?" Gu Yue had been staring blankly at Xu Xiaoyan. Upon hearing Jing Shaoyu call her, she did not answer at first, then immediately withdrew her gaze and said in an even tone, "I have no objections. Going to the beach sounds nice."
"Is that so?" Jing Shaoyu wore a strange expression, because he had caught a trace of envy in Gu Yue's eyes. Was she envious of Xu Xiaoyan? Envious of what? Was she envious that Xu Xiaoyan could freely act coquettishly with him? He smiled. "Then it's settled. The beach is our destination. Let's go!"
All three were Soul Grandmasters, so it took them only half an hour to travel from Eastsea Academy to the beach in Eastsea City. By then, the sun was already close to sinking beneath the sea, and the ocean surface glowed with dazzling crimson-gold light, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Wow!" Xu Xiaoyan could not help exclaiming, her face full of amazement. "It's so beautiful!"
"Mm, it really is beautiful!" Jing Shaoyu nodded in agreement, his expression relaxed and content.
Although Gu Yue said nothing, the faint smile blooming across her face already explained everything.
The three stood on the beach by the sea, quietly watching as the sun sank bit by bit into the ocean and darkness gradually enveloped heaven and earth.
