Match-Fixing

The Class Promotion Tournament was an Eastsea Academy tradition. A weaker class could challenge a stronger one, and if they won, they could take the other class's position.

Ever since the school year began, the other classes had been preparing for the Class Promotion Tournament, but the students of Class One were not worried at all.

What a joke. Even if some geniuses had ended up in other classes for various reasons, could they beat Soul Grandmaster Wei Xiaofeng?

Even if they succeeded, Gu Yuena and Classmate Huo Yuhao could still teach them a lesson!

They could not be the only class to experience the shock brought by those two!

With that mindset, while the other classes nervously carried out practical combat training, Class One's students remained quite relaxed.

However, as their teacher, Luo Yanglu still had to be responsible.

At the Training Ground, Luo Yanglu took out a box and removed a wristband from it.

"This wristband is a portable Soul Tool that can test physical fitness. Wear it on your body, and it can provide real-time feedback on your condition and quantify your physical fitness. If your fitness improves, the number will rise as well."

Luo Yanglu smiled. "Physical fitness is still very important at your stage. Any improvement is good, and it will give you more options when choosing Soul Spirits in the future. Besides, professions like Mecha Master have fairly high physical requirements."

"But training and cultivation are ultimately your own responsibility. As your teacher, I am only here to guide you, and class time is limited. You must rely on your own discipline."

"I imagine that if you can clearly watch yourselves grow stronger step by step, you will not slack off too much, right?"

The students eagerly put on their wristbands. Looking at the quantified physical fitness value displayed on his, Xie Xie sighed inwardly.

So this was the treatment Class One received?

There was no such Soul Tool on the market. He had previously thought attending school here was a bad choice, but he no longer felt that way.

"However, be careful. Your bodies are still developing, so do not force yourselves to train. That Soul Tool has an alarm function. Once it is triggered, it means you are about to reach a critical point. Stop as soon as possible, and do not injure yourselves."

"Yes!" *n

After explaining the precautions, Luo Yanglu began distributing the Soul Tools.

Gu Yuena accepted the Soul Tool and found it strangely familiar. Instinctively, she looked at Huo Yuhao's wrist and, sure enough, saw that he was already wearing one.

Could he have invented this?

As she put it on, Gu Yuena watched the number soar all the way into four digits.

"..."

She was, after all, the Dragon King. Even with her current low cultivation, her physical fitness and constitution could not possibly be poor.

At that moment, Gu Yuena sensed an increasingly familiar spiritual fluctuation. She connected to it with practiced ease and heard Huo Yuhao's reminder.

"Press the button in the lower left corner and enter the password, 3946. You can adjust the value yourself. A normal Soul Grandmaster's physical fitness is around two hundred."

So he really had invented it.

Gu Yuena relaxed and followed his instructions, setting it to a normal value.

On Huo Yuhao's side, after receiving his brand-new Fitness Testing Soul Tool, he glanced at the value that had likewise reached four digits and directly put it away.

This Soul Tool was merely meant for the early stages. Once one's physical fitness reached a certain level, ordinary training could no longer improve it.

He had only created this Soul Tool because he had gained some inspiration while researching Artificial Soul Spirit bloodline extraction techniques and had made it along the way.

After discussing the Soul Tool, Luo Yanglu taught everyone a brand-new Meditation Technique—the Soul Spirit Symbiosis Meditation.

"This is a Meditation Technique developed by the Spirit Pagoda. Summon your Soul Spirit while cultivating, then use the Soul Spirit Contract to establish a special circuit between both sides, creating a two-way energy cycle. Your Soul Spirit can help you circulate your cultivation, and the more compatible you are with it, the faster your cultivation speed will be."

Looking at the bright-eyed students below, especially Wei Xiaofeng, whose Martial Soul and Soul Spirit were both dragons, Luo Yanglu's lips curled slightly. "Of course, the version I am teaching you is simplified, so its effects are not as good."

Everyone's expressions immediately fell.

Xie Xie, however, said thoughtfully, "Teacher, you are not from the Spirit Pagoda, are you?"

A Soul Tool and a Spirit Pagoda-style Meditation Technique—no matter how one looked at it, he did not seem like an ordinary person.

Luo Yanglu smiled without answering, but it was practically an admission.

Then, he had everyone try the Meditation Technique and called Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena to his side.

"Your Meditation Techniques both came from Limit Douluo and are top-tier techniques, so there is no need for you to consider this one."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

He had not used the Meditation Technique Hua Yichen had applied for.

He used a self-created Meditation Technique that combined experience from Ten Thousand Years Ago with magical meditation methods. It could increase his Spiritual Power and the speed of his Extreme Ice cultivation. In addition, due to Gu Yuena's bloodline influence, the debuff on Extreme Ice from levels thirty to seventy had already been completely resolved.

Gu Yuena: "..."

She used a self-created Elemental Meditation.

She had not used the Meditation Technique Teacher Leng gave her either.

Unaware that the two before him were absurdly overpowered, Luo Yanglu thought for a moment and asked,

"Gu Yuena, does Heavenly Phoenix Madam's guidance for you lean toward cultivation or practical combat?"

"Cultivation."

"Have you been to the Virtual Battlefield?"

"?"

Gu Yuena looked at Luo Yanglu in confusion.

Seeing this, Luo Yanglu understood.

"Yuhao, spar with Gu Yuena. Just stop at the right point. I want to confirm a few things."

Heavenly Phoenix Madam had entrusted her disciple to their branch for care. They could not afford to delay her development.

Besides, according to Yi Chen, although things had been a little unpleasant at first, Yuhao and Gu Yuena now got along fairly well. If Yuhao took better care of Gu Yuena, then when he went to headquarters in the future, she would probably be willing to help him out.

Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena upon hearing that. She looked back at him, her gaze flickering slightly.

The same thought crossed both their minds: how much strength would be appropriate against this person?

Taking it seriously was impossible. They could only throw a fake match to keep up appearances.

As the Training Ground provided for Class One, it was quite large. Even with every student conducting practical combat training at once, it did not feel crowded.

However, when Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena stood in the center, the other students put down what they were doing and gathered nearby to watch.

They were extremely interested in seeing just how strong these two extraordinary geniuses were.

Luo Yanglu did not stop them. He merely watched Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena standing ten meters apart, took out a notebook and pen, and shouted, "Begin!"

Gu Yuena attacked first. Two yellow Soul Rings lit up around her. In an instant, ripples spread through the air as Wind Blades condensed into shape, sealing off Huo Yuhao from every direction. Seven or eight blades of wind howled toward him from tricky angles.

Huo Yuhao's gaze flickered. Three purple Soul Rings appeared around him, drawing cries of surprise from several students.

"Thousand Year Soul Rings?" Feeling the pressure radiating from them, Xie Xie clicked his tongue, though he also felt it was only natural.

At that age, it would be stranger for a Soul Elder not to have Thousand Year Soul Rings.

The moment the Wind Blades neared him, a faint light appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Mental Detection activated. Combined with the elemental perception of the Silver Dragon King Bloodline and his own experience, he instantly saw through the core of every Wind Blade. With a thought—

Crack!

In an instant, all the Wind Blades shattered and dissolved into disappearing currents of air.

Gu Yuena's brows furrowed slightly. A cyan glow suddenly spread over her body, and her speed instantly rose to a new level. At the same time, her hands moved swiftly, sending clusters of blazing fireballs and sharp Ice Cones toward Huo Yuhao like a raging storm, yet all of them failed.

"How many attributes has she used already?" Xie Xie's brows twitched wildly. "How can her Martial Soul control so many elements?"

"But none of them worked."

Beside Xie Xie, Zhang Yangzi, Wei Xiaofeng's roommate, shook his head with amazement on his face. "Classmate Yuhao dissolved them all with ease."

With ease?

Luo Yanglu secretly shook his head.

It was not easy at all.

Elemental attacks were also controlled with Spiritual Power. Every elemental attack that entered within three meters of Huo Yuhao was disrupted by his Formless Spiritual Power at the weakest point of its core, throwing off Gu Yuena's control and causing it to collapse.

That required spiritual control precise to the finest detail. Among all the Mental Attribute Soul Masters Luo Yanglu knew, only Hua Yichen could accomplish it!
