Special Training, Tacit Cooperation!

After dinner, Fang Yang, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie arrived at the sports field.

Xie Xie had not wanted to come in the first place, but the other two dragged him over.

However, by the time they arrived, Gu Yue had already come ahead of them and had fully recovered her spirits.

It was already evening. The afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky a brilliant fiery red, shining on Gu Yue's small face and adding a touch of radiance to her delicate features.

Wu Changkong still wore a cold expression, though he had changed into black sportswear.

Not far away, quite a few senior female students had gathered nearby in small groups, their gazes all fixed on him.

Only when Fang Yang and the others arrived did those female cadets from the higher grades shift their attention.

Though the four of them were still young, each possessed an extraordinary bearing.

Fang Yang's brows carried heroic spirit, Tang Wulin was gentle as jade, Xie Xie was lively and agile, and Gu Yue was elegant and refined. Standing together, they formed a sight of their own.

"You four, follow me." Seeing them arrive, Wu Changkong turned and walked away, his voice icy.

The four followed behind him toward the depths of the academy.

Wu Changkong brought them to an indoor training ground behind the academy.

He had obtained it when he went to see Long Hengxu today.

After Wu Changkong expressed that he would support Long Hengxu's work and would not cause trouble for the Director of Studies,

Long Hengxu had given him the green light all the way.

However, Wu Changkong did not care what schemes Long Hengxu had in mind. As long as he achieved his goal, that was enough.

If not for Fang Yang and the other four, he would not have compromised so easily, much less apologized.

Yet after coming to the Intermediate Department this time, Wu Changkong had encountered four students who moved him like no others in his life.

If they were properly nurtured, they would be qualified to enter Shrek Academy!

Fang Yang possessed a special bloodline and controlled flame that surpassed Ultimate Fire.

Gu Yue's Martial Soul was the Elementalist, and she controlled All Elements of Heaven and Earth.

Xie Xie possessed the rare Twin Martial Souls, the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger.

And Tang Wulin possessed the Twin Martial Souls, the Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer...

The Martial Souls that had never appeared again since Tang Sect Master, God King Tang San, had actually appeared once more Twenty Thousand Years Later!

Once Tang Wulin joined the Tang Sect, he would become the Tang Sect Master's heir!

The training ground was circular and protected by a Soul Guide Shield. It was a place for students with relatively high cultivation to train their Martial Souls.

After all, a place like the sports field was too easily damaged once Soul Power reached a certain level.

Wu Changkong led the four to the Center of the Field and stopped.

"Starting today, every night, you will follow me in Special Training and work hard for the Class Promotion Tournament!"

Wu Changkong had previously said that he would only send three people to participate in the Class Promotion Tournament.

Now that Gu Yue had come and her talent was also good, he decided to train all four of them first.

Then he would assess the four of them and decide who to send in the end.

"Teacher, what will we train in Special Training? It won't still be Physical Training, will it?" Xie Xie's focus was obviously different.

He had been traumatized by Physical Training. Physical Training was terrifying!

"Of course not. No matter what kind of training you undergo, there is only one goal: to increase your strength.

All strength comes from actual combat. Therefore, your Special Training will consist solely of actual combat."

Wu Changkong's voice was cold.

Upon hearing the words actual combat, excitement appeared on Xie Xie's face.

Actual combat was good. He, Xie Xie, loved actual combat!

Of course, Xie Xie regretted it later. He had never wanted Physical Training so badly.

He could not beat a single one of them...

Fang Yang beat him like a stray dog, Gu Yue's combos never stopped, and Tang Wulin simply used Blue Silver Grass Entanglement.

Wu Changkong looked at the four of them in turn, his gaze sharp as blades. "I will first explain the key points for each of you, then we will conduct actual combat."

"Xie Xie, your speed is already fast enough for your current stage, but your physical strength is a fatal shortcoming. You are not durable enough. Secondly, your second Martial Soul must serve as your trump card. If not used, then nothing; once used, it must kill."

When he turned to Tang Wulin, his tone softened somewhat. "Tang Wulin, your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is extremely tough. What you need to do now is properly cultivate your Soul Power and develop toward becoming a Control System Soul Master. As for the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, do not reveal it for now."

"Mm." Tang Wulin agreed.

When he turned to Gu Yue, rare praise entered Wu Changkong's tone. "Your talent for controlling elements is exceptional, but pay attention to the fusion between elements. The power of a Single Element is ultimately limited. Combining Multiple Elements is your way out."

"Thank you, Teacher Wu Changkong." Gu Yue nodded.

Finally, his gaze fell on Fang Yang, and he actually hesitated for a moment. "You... just Maintain the Status Quo."

"Then Special Training begins immediately," Wu Changkong said blandly.

Knowing it would be actual combat training, Xie Xie perked up considerably and asked eagerly, "Teacher Wu, who goes first against whom?"

Wu Changkong stepped back three paces and waved his right hand. His Martial Soul, the Sky Frost Sword, appeared in his hand, and chilling cold air instantly filled the entire field.

"You four, go together! I will not hold back!"

Before Xie Xie could react, an Ice-Blue Sword Light had already rushed towards him!

"Teacher Wu, you have no martial virtue! A sneak attack!"

He hurriedly activated his Soul Power and leaped backward. The Light Dragon Dagger hastily blocked, and the sound of metal collision pierced the air.

"Enough nonsense! On the battlefield, the winner is king, the loser is bandit. What martial virtue is there to speak of?"

Before Wu Changkong had finished speaking, the second Sword Qi was already unleashed.

Fang Yang reacted the fastest. The first Purple Soul Ring behind him shone brightly.

Deep Yellow Fire Lotuses condensed in his hands one after another.

"Go!"

The fire lotuses whistled out, leaving scorching hot air in their wake.

Gu Yue attacked almost simultaneously. The Yellow Soul Ring behind her flashed.

Then she lightly waved her jade hand, and dozens of Ice Cones formed in the air, creating a marvelous coordination with the fire lotuses—Ice and Fire Double Heaven!

Tang Wulin did not remain idle either. His First Soul Ring lit up, and Blue Silver Grass silently spread outward.

First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Grass Entanglement!

Extremely tough vines coiled toward Wu Changkong's lower body like spirit snakes, while one strand wrapped around Xie Xie's waist and pulled him away from the danger zone.

Facing the tacit combined attack of the three, the corner of Wu Changkong's mouth slightly raised. The First Soul Ring behind him suddenly lit up.

First Soul Skill: Frost Mark!

The Sky Frost Sword in his hand traced a perfect arc.

The Ice-Blue Sword Qi collided with the fire lotuses and Ice Cones in the air, erupting with a deafening boom.

Using the explosion as cover, the Blue Silver Grass had already wrapped around Wu Changkong. Before Tang Wulin could show his delight,

"Hmph!"

Wu Changkong gave a cold snort, and the cold air all over his body soared.

The extremely tough Blue Silver Grass vines were instantly frozen, then shattered inch by inch.

"Spread out!" Fang Yang shouted lowly. The four immediately understood and quickly scattered into position, forming a four-corner formation around Wu Changkong.

Xie Xie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger appeared in his hands at the same time.

Gu Yue gathered elements of different attributes in her hands.

Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass danced all over his body.

Fang Yang maintained the posture of condensing fire lotuses, ready to launch the next round of attacks at any moment.
