Wu Changkong stood with his hands behind his back, his brows slightly furrowed.
He considered himself well-informed, yet this was the first time he had heard of such a Martial Soul.
During the battle just now, Gu Yue had displayed six elemental abilities in succession: water, wind, earth, space, fire, and ice.
One had to know that among Martial Souls, even those capable of controlling a single element were considered exceptionally talented.
Yet Gu Yue before him could wield the power of six elements at once. It was simply terrifying!
"Although I can control six elements, my Soul Rings cannot be attached to any one of them. So, while I can control changes in the elements, it is difficult for me to make them stronger."
"My First Soul Skill is called Elemental Tide. It allows my Soul Power to last longer while enhancing my control over the elements."
Seeing the confusion on Wu Changkong's face, Gu Yue did not hide anything and explained.
"So that's how it is!"
A flash of understanding crossed Wu Changkong's eyes.
Even so, Gu Yue's Elementalist Martial Soul could still be considered a top-tier Martial Soul, with potential no weaker than Twin Martial Souls.
If properly nurtured, she could become a powerful Titled Douluo!
Wu Changkong nodded at Gu Yue, his voice icy. "Good. I understand. From now on, you are a member of First Grade Class Five."
"Thank you, Teacher." Gu Yue agreed with a sweet smile.
"My name is Wu Changkong. From now on, just call me Teacher Wu."
Wu Changkong nodded slightly, then his expression turned stern. "Also, since you have joined Class Five, today's Physical Training is ten laps around the Sports Field. Go now."
"Yes, Teacher Wu."
Gu Yue smiled.
The Class Five students who had gathered to watch were still whispering among themselves, eagerly discussing the thrilling assessment.
Wu Changkong's cold gaze swept across them. "Have you seen enough? Those who haven't finished, keep running. Those who have finished, run another ten laps!"
The students shuddered at the icy command and hurriedly began running again.
At that moment, Wu Changkong suddenly called out, "Fang Yang, the new student has joined the training. Run with her."
"Yes, Teacher Wu."
Fang Yang nodded and quickly caught up with Gu Yue.
"Haha, Fang Yang, you've got it coming too."
Just then, Xie Xie's gleeful voice rang out, unaware that he would soon have cause for regret.
On the track, Gu Yue ran with light steps and curiously looked at Fang Yang beside her. "Why didn't you have to run earlier?"
Fang Yang smiled helplessly. "I wasn't supposed to run, but after fighting you, Teacher Wu made me run with you."
"Oh, so that's what happened."
Gu Yue nodded, lost in thought.
Behind them, Xie Xie watched the two running side by side. He was gritting his teeth. Was this even running? They were clearly flirting!
Tang Wulin, meanwhile, said nothing and simply kept running.
While the Class Five students were running, Wu Changkong had already left.
He appeared at the entrance of the Dean's Office.
After thinking briefly, Wu Changkong raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Long Hengxu's voice came from inside.
The door creaked open, and Wu Changkong walked in. Naturally, he had come to handle Gu Yue's enrollment procedures.
"Hm? Why are you here?" Long Hengxu, who had been deep in thought, was clearly surprised when he saw Wu Changkong approaching him.
Why had this arrogant, aloof, narcissistic male god, Wu Changkong, come in person?
What shocked Long Hengxu even more was Wu Changkong's calm expression.
He walked to the desk and bowed deeply. "Director Long, I'm sorry. I came to apologize to you."
Seeing him bow, the pen in Long Hengxu's hand nearly fell. The confusion in his eyes deepened.
Had the sun risen in the west?
Wu Changkong, who did not even give the Principal any face, was actually lowering his head and admitting fault?
With that thought, Long Hengxu looked outside the window and found that the sun was still shining just fine.
Could it be that he had exhausted himself too much for his students and was now hallucinating?
Long Hengxu's reaction was not strange.
After all, Wu Changkong was known as Eastsea Academy's strongest person. From the day he entered the academy, he had been the hottest topic of discussion, the dream lover of every female student and female teacher.
At the same time, he was an unruly and eccentric Teacher who paid no attention to the academy's teaching curriculum, teaching entirely according to his own ideas.
It was said that once, when the Principal spoke to him about teaching matters, Wu Changkong had walked out the door before the Principal had even finished speaking, showing him no respect at all.
However, Wu Changkong had every right to be proud. Before the age of thirty, he had already become a Six-Ring Soul Emperor!
With such talent, he must have been a genius from that place. Yet for some unknown reason, he had later come here to teach.
Such a prideful man, like a peacock spreading its tail, was actually lowering his head to apologize to him for the first time?
Mom, could I have been set up by some powerful backer?
Wu Changkong said seriously, "I was wrong. I should not have lost my temper with you, so I came to apologize. I hope to receive your forgiveness!"
"Forget it, forget it. Teacher Wu, it's not such a big deal."
Whether he had been intimidated by Wu Changkong's presence or had truly forgiven him, Long Hengxu merely nodded repeatedly and responded instinctively.
Seeing this, Wu Changkong said bluntly, "Director Long, a new student has come to our class. She has already passed my test and is fully qualified to join Eastsea Academy."
"According to Eastsea Academy's rules, if a student misses the registration period but is approved to enter due to special circumstances, they can only begin in Class Five. Therefore, please approve her enrollment."
As he spoke, Wu Changkong placed Gu Yue's Recommendation Letter on Long Hengxu's desk.
Long Hengxu accepted the letter and said instinctively, "All right, Teacher Wu. I'll take care of it."
Wu Changkong frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with that answer. "Director Long, please do it now. I'll wait until you finish."
Only then did Long Hengxu come back to his senses and suddenly realize what was going on.
This was no apology at all. He was clearly asking for a favor. The apology had merely been meant to leave Long Hengxu with no reason to refuse!
"Understood. I'll approve her enrollment right now! But Teacher Wu, I hope you'll leave me some dignity in front of the students in the future. I'm still the Director of a grade, after all!"
As he handled Gu Yue's enrollment procedures, he looked at Wu Changkong and made the suggestion.
"Mm."
Wu Changkong merely answered indifferently. Once the enrollment procedures were complete, he left.
Who knew whether he had taken Long Hengxu's words to heart.
When Wu Changkong returned, all the Class Five students had finished their running assignments.
"Everyone, assemble!" Wu Changkong gave the command coldly.
The Class Five students looked like defeated soldiers, dragging their exhausted bodies as they barely managed to stand in the center of the Sports Field.
"That's all for this morning. Everyone, dismissed. Gu Yue, stay behind."
After finishing the Physical Training, Gu Yue's pretty face had become much rosier.
"Gu Yue, this is your Dormitory Key, School Uniform, and textbooks. From this moment on, you are officially a student of First Grade Class Five."
"Thank you, Teacher Wu." Gu Yue accepted the items Wu Changkong handed her.
"Mm. Rest well. Classes begin this afternoon."
