"They... they killed it!" Xie Xie stared dumbfounded at everything on the screen, his mouth hanging open in shock.

Wang Jinxi and Tang Wulin looked just as stunned. Both of them had fought that Man Faced Demon Spider before, so they naturally knew how powerful and troublesome it was. Yet such a vicious soul beast had actually been killed so easily by Jing Shaoyu and the two girls. It seemed the gap between them and him, and between them and Gu Yue, was still far too great.

Yes, easily. To everyone in the control room, the process of Jing Shaoyu and the two girls killing the thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider looked that easy. Facing the three of them taking turns attacking, the Man Faced Demon Spider had almost no ability to defend or restrain them at all.

A brilliant smile appeared on Long Hengxu's face. Thank goodness, thank goodness. Their first outing had not ended in disaster. These three little fellows had truly brought honor to their academy! Wu Zhangkong was still expressionless, but the corners of his mouth lifted in an almost imperceptible arc. He was very satisfied with Jing Shaoyu and the two girls' performance.

At that moment, a beautiful woman who was likewise paying attention to Jing Shaoyu also revealed a charming smile on her pretty face. She murmured softly, "What an interesting little fellow! And that little girl too. Multi-element control? Interesting."

Inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, Jing Shaoyu and the two girls gathered together and let out relieved breaths.

"Wuwu~ That scared me to death just now," Xu Xiaoyan said, hugging Jing Shaoyu's arm with a lingering-fright expression. "I really thought I was going to be eaten by that big spider."

"It's okay, it's okay." Jing Shaoyu lightly patted Xu Xiaoyan's back, comforting her. "Didn't we already kill that big spider? Hahaha, no need to be scared anymore."

"What do we do now?" Gu Yue asked. She looked indifferently at Xu Xiaoyan hugging Jing Shaoyu's arm, and an indescribable emotion rose in her heart.

"Little Yu Brother, let's stop here for today," Xu Xiaoyan suggested weakly.

"End it?" Jing Shaoyu was startled, then looked at Gu Yue.

"I have no objection," Gu Yue said faintly. "I don't have any strength left to continue."

"All right, then." Jing Shaoyu said helplessly. In truth, he still wanted to continue, but considering the two girls' condition, he could only agree.

Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue pressed the SOS Beacon one after another and left the Spirit Ascension Platform. After Jing Shaoyu finished absorbing the Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Power, he also left the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Rising from the cold metal cabin, Jing Shaoyu received the attention of everyone else in the room. Without the slightest mental fluctuation, he left the metal cabin.

After resting for a while, Wu Zhangkong led the members of Zero Class out of Spirit Pagoda and returned to Eastsea Academy.

In the Zero Class classroom, Wu Zhangkong stood expressionlessly on the podium, while the seven cadets sat below with varied reactions.

Wu Zhangkong said, "This was your first training experience in the Spirit Ascension Platform. What are your thoughts?"

Zhang Yangzi took the initiative to stand and reflect on himself. "Teacher Wu, I admit my mistake. I was too reckless. I shouldn't have flown openly through the forest."

Wu Zhangkong said faintly, "You should be glad this was in the Spirit Ascension Platform. If it had been the real world, you might have died without even knowing how! Remember, you can never let your guard down at any time. Take this as a warning!"

"Yes." Zhang Yangzi's expression was grave as he nodded.

"Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, Wang Jinxi, do you have anything to say?" Wu Zhangkong immediately called out the three names, his voice still cold.

"Teacher Wu, we..." Tang Wulin and the other two immediately stood up, their faces full of shame, self-reproach, and regret.

"Xie Xie, as an Agility-Attack Type Soul Master, not only did you fail to fulfill your duty of scouting, you were also the first to be killed and eliminated. It seems my usual training for you has still been too light," Wu Zhangkong said coldly.

"Teacher Wu, I..." Hearing this, Xie Xie's face immediately turned miserable, as though he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Wu Zhangkong ignored Xie Xie's reaction and looked next at Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi. "Tang Wulin, tell me, what type of Soul Master are you?"

"I... a Control Soul Master." Tang Wulin was first stunned, then his voice immediately became hesitant, utterly lacking confidence.

"Oh, is that so?" Wu Zhangkong gave a soft oh and said, "So you're a Control Soul Master? I thought you were an Assault Type Soul Master like Wang Jinxi. You couldn't stay rational during battle. It seems your Golden Dragon Bloodline has made you somewhat blind. Starting tomorrow, without my permission, you are not allowed to use your Golden Dragon Bloodline during daily training!"

"I understand, Teacher Wu." Tang Wulin nodded somewhat dejectedly.

"Wang Jinxi, why did you lose focus in battle?" Wu Zhangkong asked. "Facing such a dangerous enemy, you were actually unable to concentrate fully. What were you trying to do?"

"Teacher Wu, I..." Wang Jinxi felt somewhat wronged. He said, "There was a reason I lost focus. This is all Wulin's fault!"

"Me?" Tang Wulin pointed at himself in confusion, feeling somewhat baffled.

"What did Tang Wulin do?" A trace of anger appeared in Wu Zhangkong's eyes. He felt Wang Jinxi was trying to shirk responsibility. If Wang Jinxi could not give a reasonable explanation, then he would have to consider whether Wang Jinxi was suited to remain in Zero Class.

"When Wulin and I were fighting side by side, my martial soul was affected by his aura and underwent some kind of change. I was getting used to that change, and that was why I lost focus," Wang Jinxi explained.

"Your martial soul was affected by Tang Wulin's aura?" Wu Zhangkong was somewhat surprised. The anger in his eyes disappeared, replaced by doubt and thought. He said, "I'll believe you for now. Come to my office later. Tang Wulin, you come too."

"Yes!" Wang Jinxi nodded, subconsciously glancing at Tang Wulin.

"Okay." Tang Wulin also nodded in agreement, his gaze unconsciously falling on Wang Jinxi as well.

Finally, Wu Zhangkong shifted his gaze to Jing Shaoyu, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan. These three had given him the greatest satisfaction, especially Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue, so he decided to comment on Xu Xiaoyan first.

"Xu Xiaoyan, if you want to become a powerful Soul Master and not hold others back, you must learn to be strong and independent," Wu Zhangkong said. "Only when the heart becomes strong will a person become strong along with it."

"Teacher Wu, I understand." Xu Xiaoyan stood up, her head lowered, the expression on her face seeming somewhat dismissive.

"All right, sit down." Wu Zhangkong was not sure whether Xu Xiaoyan had truly taken his words to heart. For this kind of personal character issue, he could only offer advice and could not interfere. Everything depended on her own efforts.

Wu Zhangkong looked at Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue and said, "Jing Shaoyu, Gu Yue, the two of you performed quite well."

As for Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue, Wu Zhangkong did not give much evaluation. The main reason was that their performance had indeed been very good. Even Gu Yue, who had started out with a cold personality and lacked a spirit of cooperation, had worked with Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan in a commendable manner when they faced the thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider this time.

Finally, Wu Zhangkong said to everyone, "Starting today, you are a team. Captain, Jing Shaoyu. Vice-captain, Gu Yue. All right, dismissed."

A team?

The expressions and bearing of the few of them were all different. Faced with this somewhat sudden, yet also expected, news, none of them had any resistance. After all, their Zero Class had only seven cadets in total, just enough to form a standard seven-person team, with Assault Type, Agility-Attack Type, Control Type, and healing types all present.

As for the appointments of captain and vice-captain, the others had no objections either. Everyone had witnessed Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue's abilities for themselves. If anyone wanted to make trouble, they would probably have to first weigh their own worth.

Wu Zhangkong left the classroom, and Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi immediately followed him.

"Sigh!" Xie Xie let out a sigh and wailed, "Why am I so unlucky!"

"Come on, I'm the unlucky one here," Zhang Yangzi chimed in as well, his face full of grief and indignation.

"All that happened to you was getting surrounded by a flock of Azure Hawks. I was killed by a Man Faced Demon Spider!" Xie Xie said, a trace of fear showing on his face. "Do you know how terrifying a Man Faced Demon Spider is?"

"What do you mean, 'all that happened'?" Zhang Yangzi retorted, very displeased. "Sure, the Man Faced Demon Spider was terrifying, but didn't Class Monitor and the others already avenge you by killing it?"

"Heh heh." Hearing that, Xie Xie immediately broke into a smile. He asked Xu Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, what did it feel like when you faced that Man Faced Demon Spider?"

"What did it feel like? Nothing at all." Xu Xiaoyan narrowed her eyes and said with a grin.

"Seriously?" Xie Xie clearly did not believe her, but judging from Xu Xiaoyan's expression, she obviously did not want to tell him. He could only shake his head helplessly and say, "Forget it. The Man Faced Demon Spider is already dead anyway, so there's no point talking about it now."
