Dust Settles, Class Monitor Wu Siduo

Shen Yi, who had been watching the battle, wore an extremely strange expression.

She glanced at her senior brother beside her, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly.

"Senior Brother, your disciple really has quite the knack for adapting..."

Wu Changkong's eyelid twitched.

He did not think Tang Wulin's actions had been overly excessive.

As an adult, Wu Changkong also understood deeply that any method capable of achieving one's goal was a good method.

But with his personality, it was clearly impossible for him to act like that.

Watching his three disciples join Yang Nianxia in attacking Zheng Yiran and the other students who had not even issued a challenge, Wu Changkong truly could not bear to watch.

The method was indeed not wrong, but it was ultimately somewhat beneath the table.

Still, as their teacher, he instinctively offered an explanation for his three disciples.

"Adaptability is sometimes a good habit too."

After Wu Siduo took the lead, the other students began issuing challenges one after another.

However, most of them did not challenge alone like Wu Siduo. Instead, they gathered several friends or temporary allies to fight together.

Yet without exception, no one made it past the Jade Lightwing Butterfly.

As the Examiner, Ling Luo had not truly needed to personally make a move from beginning to end.

This dealt a tremendous blow to these talented students who had just entered Shrek Academy and were still brimming with pride.

Was this what an Inner Court senior was like?

Was this what a true Top Genius was like?

A simple assessment had worn away more than half the arrogance of these thorns.

Quite a few had transformed from proud white swans into ashamed frogs at the bottom of a well.

The illusion closed.

After dealing with the final challenger, Ling Luo rose from the device.

His gaze swept across the many students in the field.

Upon noticing his gaze, all of them could not help lowering their heads.

Aside from some who had voluntarily withdrawn, a large number of the others had been eliminated only after experiencing death within the illusion at the hands of this one's Jade Lightwing Butterfly.

As a result, merely seeing this one now made their hearts tremble with fear.

"Thank you for the trouble, Young Master," Shen Yi said softly as she stepped forward.

"It was nothing," Ling Luo said with a slight shake of his head.

Ling Luo understood that Yun Ming had asked him to serve as the Examiner for this Freshman Class cadre election largely because his brother-in-law was paving the way for him.

After this, his reputation would no longer be confined to the Inner Court; the Outer Court would know of him as well.

The Soul Master World had always shared one common trait:

They revered the strong.

After this, Ling Luo's prestige in the Outer Court, especially among this year's freshmen, would reach an extremely high level.

Although these students seemed deeply afraid of him, that was merely the shadow left by having just been crushed.

Once that shadow faded, most Soul Masters' tendency to revere strength would reveal itself.

A great many would unknowingly become Ling Luo's supporters.

This could already be seen in Wu Siduo and Xu Yucheng, the two Top Geniuses.

The emotions in their eyes differed.

But they shared one thing in common.

The same admiration.

That was Yun Ming's purpose.

He was laying the groundwork for Ling Luo's future faction.

And this was not only for Ling Luo's eventual succession of the Sea God Pavilion, but also for that grand blueprint!

Yun Ming had always believed that his brother-in-law had the ability to carve out a new God Realm in this age without gods!

And a God Realm, beyond the supreme god who controlled all things, also required a powerful foundation!

Ling Luo's role as Examiner appeared to offer no reward, but in truth, it was preparation for the future.

Yun Ming could be said to have poured all his strength into Ling Luo.

"Young Master, regarding the outstanding performers in this assessment..."

No one had defeated Ling Luo, nor had anyone even forced him to personally take action.

Therefore, the authority to judge the results naturally rested with him.

Ling Luo stroked his chin as he examined the crowd.

Most of the students lowered their heads with full awareness of their own limits.

They knew very well that the title of outstanding performer could not possibly fall to them.

Zheng Yiran and Luo Guixing, the two from the Young Genius Ranking, glared viciously at Yang Nianxia and Tang Wulin's group.

They had been eliminated by those people before they had even had the chance to challenge anyone, so the distinction of outstanding performer certainly could not fall to them either.

Naturally, the two were especially furious at Yang Nianxia, Tang Wulin, and the others who had caused it.

Yet Yang Nianxia's expression was even uglier than theirs.

Because he had not challenged anyone either.

After joining Tang Wulin to eliminate Zheng Yiran and Luo Guixing, he had been betrayed by the three Tang Wulins whom he had never taken seriously!

Yang Nianxia had schemed so much, believing himself to be the hunter, only to become the prey in the end. His mentality had exploded even more thoroughly than Zheng Yiran's and Luo Guixing's.

Moreover, in Zheng Yiran and Luo Guixing's eyes, he was still the mastermind.

Thus, not only had Yang Nianxia failed to obtain even a vice class monitor position through this method as he had planned, but he had also earned the resentment of Zheng Yiran and Luo Guixing, two geniuses.

He had truly lost both the lady and the army.

Ling Luo slowly announced the outstanding performer's name.

"After my evaluation, I believe the outstanding performer among you is..."

"Wu Siduo."

This result did not cause a great uproar.

Because it was also the result most people had expected.

Although no one had passed the Jade Lightwing Butterfly's test, anyone with even a little discernment could see that Wu Siduo, who had used a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill during this challenge, had indeed performed the best.

Even Luo Guixing and Zheng Yiran, the two geniuses who had not even challenged him, found this result quite acceptable.

Though they were somewhat unconvinced, Wu Siduo had displayed sufficient strength and had already ranked above them, so they could accept her taking this position more than anyone else.

Had it been Yang Nianxia or Tang Wulin instead, those two would have truly exploded completely.

"As for the runners-up..."

In addition to the Class Monitor, the two vice class monitors would also be decided by Ling Luo based on their performance this time.

"Xu Yucheng. Tang Wulin."

From a fair standpoint, Ling Luo gave his answer.

Although the former was impulsive, his strength in the Freshman Class was indeed beyond question.

As for the latter...

Setting aside the few geniuses who had not even taken part in the challenge, Tang Wulin truly was the strongest among the rest.

Ling Luo bore no actual grudge against Tang Wulin. Though he had no intention of deliberately currying favor with this Original Work protagonist, neither would he deliberately target him.

He and Tang Wulin might eventually clash because of the methods left behind by God King Tang and the Life Core.

But none of that had begun yet. Tang Wulin did not even know that his father was God King Tang.

With his own pride, Ling Luo found it difficult to deliberately suppress him.

He already possessed the powerful aid of the Twin God King Seeds. If he still lacked the confidence to firmly suppress Tang Wulin in an era where God King Tang had already lost contact, then he would truly have become a transmigrator for nothing.

Moreover, with Tang Wulin's values not yet poisoned by God King Tang, the two of them might not necessarily end up on opposing sides.

Still, even so, Tang Wulin's position as vice class monitor would likely not be easy to hold...

Yang Nianxia would definitely hold a deep grudge against him now.

Although Zheng Yiran and Luo Guixing were more furious with Yang Nianxia, they certainly would not feel any goodwill toward Tang Wulin, his accomplice.

One could imagine that Tang Wulin, as vice class monitor, would definitely face the three of them targeting him in the future.

But that had nothing to do with Ling Luo.

He only did what he was supposed to do.
