The Classroom Office Building was located behind the Teaching Buildings for fifth and sixth years, still some distance from the New Student Teaching Building.
Outside the office building, Wu Xuan did not put the seven-thousand-year Flame Ape left arm bone into his Soul Tool.
If he wanted to keep this soul bone, Qian Gu Ming and Nanmen Yun'er surely would not object, but Wu Xuan was not that kind of person.
"I already have the soul bone awarded by the academy. Teacher Mu's soul bone should be left for the two of you to divide." As he spoke, Wu Xuan handed the soul bone to them.
Though Nanmen Yun'er's Dark Green eyes flickered with temptation, she still shook her head. "This soul bone's attributes don't suit me. Lucky you, idiot."
"Yun'er, you're so good to me! Come here, give me a hug!" Qian Gu Ming opened his arms and threw himself toward Nanmen Yun'er.
"Get lost! Don't disgust me!" Nanmen Yun'er angrily kicked Qian Gu Ming.
"Alright, Little Ming. If you come across a soul bone suitable for Yun'er in the future, just don't forget about her," Wu Xuan said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Brother Xuan! I would have done that even if you hadn't said anything," Qian Gu Ming promised.
"Hmph! That's more like it," Nanmen Yun'er snorted softly.
Laughing and fooling around all the way, the three returned to the New Student Teaching Building and finally went their separate ways.
On the surface, Wu Xuan was a Control System Soul Master, while Qian Gu Ming was a Power Attack System Soul Master, so the two were naturally assigned to Class One. Nanmen Yun'er, an Agility Attack System Soul Master, was assigned to the neighboring Class Two.
"Reporting." Upon returning to the Class One classroom, Wu Xuan and Qian Gu Ming called out from outside the door.
"Come in." Wang Yan's voice sounded. Wu Xuan and Qian Gu Ming pushed open the door one after the other, immediately drawing the entire class's attention.
Among the four freshman classes, Class One was undoubtedly the strongest, but it did not have the most students. There were only a little over sixty students between the Power Attack System and Control System. The largest class was the mixed Class Four.
Wang Yan smiled gently. "You came back at just the right time. We're about to choose the class monitor. Take your seats first."
"Alright!" Wu Xuan nodded, then swept his gaze across the classroom.
With the classes reshuffled, the seats had all been rearranged. At a glance, Wu Xuan spotted quite a few familiar faces, such as Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao from Grade One Class One.
The three from Grade One Class Five, including Dai Huabin. Wu Feng from the former Class Nine. Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan from Grade One Class Ten.
After the two casually found empty seats and sat down.
On the podium, Wang Yan continued, "Next, we'll elect the class monitor and vice monitor. Since all students in Class One are Power Attack System and Control System battle soul masters, the monitor and vice monitor will be chosen from those two systems. They will switch positions every month. I will nominate candidates, then everyone will vote by secret ballot."
As he spoke, he turned to the blackboard and wrote two rows of names. The first row was labeled Power Attack System, with the names Wu Xuan, Qian Gu Ming, Wang Dong, Dai Huabin, Zhou Sichen, Huang Chutian, and Wu Feng beneath it.
The second row was labeled Control System. The first name written under it was Huo Yuhao, followed by Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo.
A total of eleven names appeared on the blackboard. From the order in which Wang Yan had written them, it was easy to see what he was thinking.
"Wait, Teacher Wang! Isn't Wu Xuan a Control System Soul Master?" Qian Gu Ming raised his hand and asked.
"Oh! That's how it was. Dean Yan watched Wu Xuan's match, and before leaving, he specifically instructed Director Du that he believed Wu Xuan's talent was better suited to the Power Attack System," Wang Yan said evenly.
"Whoa—" As soon as Wang Yan finished speaking, the entire class stared at Wu Xuan in disbelief. For a first-year student who had just passed the New Student Assessment to receive Dean Yan's attention was something freshmen would not even dare dream of.
Only the students from the former Class Nine looked at Wu Xuan strangely. This scene seemed especially familiar to them.
"How about this? Let's vote by raising hands. Those who agree to have Wu Xuan serve as class monitor, please raise your hands." The moment Wang Yan finished speaking, nearly everyone in the class raised their right hands in unison.
Even Wang Dong and Dai Huabin, who had never accepted Wu Xuan, raised their hands.
Wu Xuan no longer felt anything about it. Class monitor was fine. Who in the entire Class One would dare refuse to listen to him?
"Good! Since no one has any objections, Wu Xuan will serve as the Power Attack System class monitor."
"Now, let's choose the Control System vice monitor."
However, when Huo Yuhao's name appeared at the top of the Control System list, it sparked a wave of murmurs. The students originally from Grade One Class One were better about it. Huo Yuhao had been their class monitor from the start, and they all knew how hard he worked. But the students merged in from other freshman classes mostly wore disdainful expressions.
"Teacher Wang, I object." Wu Feng, seated in the back rows not far from Dai Huabin, suddenly raised her hand.
Wang Yan's teaching style had always been gentle, and he smiled. "What is it, Wu Feng?"
Wu Feng said contemptuously, "I don't think Huo Yuhao is qualified to participate in the class monitor election. He's only a one-ring soul master. What gives him the right to run for class monitor?"
It was precisely because they had lost to Huo Yuhao's team that Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Li Ya had been directly eliminated. None of the three had even made it into the top sixteen, and Wu Feng's resentment had never faded. She immediately voiced her protest now.
The moment she said it, she received support from quite a few students.
Seeing so many students respond, Wu Feng continued, "Teacher Wang, our class has not only two-ring soul masters, but even three-ring Soul Elders. Why should a one-ring soul master like him be allowed to run for class monitor? Can he really convince everyone?"
Bang! Wang Dong slammed a hand onto the desk and stood up, turning to point at Wu Feng. "Don't go too far. Are you still unhappy about losing to us in the elimination rounds? If you had the skill, you should've beaten us during the assessment!"
Wu Feng snapped, "I'm unhappy about it. So what? Don't they say Control System Soul Masters counter Power Attack System Soul Masters? If he can beat me, I'll accept it. I'll admit he has the qualifications to run for class monitor."
"Bullshit. I'll fight you. If you've got the guts, come with me to the Soul Fighting Area." Wang Dong's bright eyes nearly spat fire, and Soul Power was already stirring around her.
"Enough." Wang Yan's stern voice suddenly rang out with dense Soul Power fluctuations, suppressing both of them until they shut their mouths.
"Sit down."
Only then did Wu Feng and Wang Dong unwillingly return to their seats.
Wang Yan said in a deep voice, "Since there are objections, let's put it to a vote. If more than half the class opposes Huo Yuhao running for class monitor, I will remove his name. Those who oppose it, raise your hands."
As soon as Wang Yan finished speaking, nearly two-thirds of the class raised their hands.
Wang Yan clearly had not expected this situation, and for a moment, he was somewhat stunned.
Enraged, Wang Dong was about to stand up again, but Huo Yuhao grabbed her arm from beside her.
Wu Feng said smugly, "Teacher Wang, that's more than half, isn't it? Please erase his name."
Wang Yan was truly in a difficult position. He had taught many students, but this was the first time he had encountered a situation like this. Moreover, he had already said what he said, and now he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He could only look apologetically at Huo Yuhao.
Just as he was about to announce that Huo Yuhao was disqualified from competing for class monitor, Huo Yuhao slowly raised his right hand.
Wang Yan said, "Huo Yuhao, speak."
Huo Yuhao slowly stood up and said calmly, "Teacher Wang, I understand the objection Wu Feng just raised. Before you announce that I'm disqualified from competing for class monitor, I want to say that I'm willing to accept Wu Feng's challenge. If I defeat her, then please let everyone vote again."
Wang Yan's pupils contracted slightly. Looking into Huo Yuhao's calm eyes, he fell silent for several seconds. Then he took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright. Since that's the case, I agree to let the two of you fight in the Soul Fighting Area. But for fairness, let this be the wager. If Wu Feng defeats Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao will be disqualified from running for class monitor. Otherwise, Wu Feng will be disqualified from running for Martial Soul Department class monitor. Today, I'll make an exception. Everyone, stand up. We're heading to the Martial Soul Area."
Wu Xuan gave Huo Yuhao an indifferent glance but offered no opinion. Why meddle in other people's business when watching a show was so much more comfortable?
Huo Yuhao and Wu Feng had already entered the battle area. To be safe, Wang Yan personally served as their referee.
Once inside, Wang Yan said seriously, "I'll remind you again that this is a spar between classmates. You may give it your all, but you absolutely must not cripple or seriously injure your opponent. Understand?"
Huo Yuhao and Wu Feng nodded at the same time. Wu Feng said carelessly, "Don't worry, Teacher Wang. I know my limits."
With that, Wu Feng turned and walked toward one side of the arena.
The match began!
At Wang Yan's command, Wu Feng instantly sprang forward. Her Red Dragon Martial Soul Possession activated, two yellow soul rings lit up, and her entire body transformed into a red cloud as she charged at Huo Yuhao at full speed.
Huo Yuhao lit up his First Soul Ring and hurriedly dodged.
After exchanging punches and kicks, neither side managed to gain the upper hand. But after Wu Feng used a soul skill, Huo Yuhao was completely forced into a disadvantage.
A purple glint flashed through Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes as the Twin-Eyed Giant soul bone skill activated.
Wu Feng's body froze. Clutching her head with both hands, she dropped to her knees. The intense pain in her head caused her Soul Power to fluctuate unstably.
"Huo Yuhao, you're courting death! Second Soul Skill, Dragon's Fury!" As the headache eased, Wu Feng roared and charged at Huo Yuhao.
The two clashed once more. This time, Huo Yuhao had no strength left to resist. Wu Feng's chain of attacks left blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his vision darkening as though he could collapse at any moment.
Just as Wang Yan was about to step forward and stop the match.
"I haven't lost yet!" Under everyone's watchful eyes, Huo Yuhao struggled to rise from the ground. When he lifted his head, the spectators discovered in shock that the color of Huo Yuhao's scarlet eyes had changed. They had turned gray—a terrifying gray filled with the aura of death!
The next moment, his now-gray Spirit Eyes lit up. The gray light flickered faintly. In the next instant, Wu Feng screamed from the other side.
At that moment, Wu Feng's eyes also turned gray for an instant. Then her entire body crashed heavily backward onto the ground, and she immediately fell unconscious.
The battle was over. Every student in Grade One Class One fell silent, as if their throats had been seized.
Wu Xuan frowned deeply, because he could tell that Huo Yuhao had not borrowed Electrolux's power just now. He had asked someone else to fight for him.
He had even learned to exploit loopholes. Wu Xuan did not want to say anything about that.
On the Battle Soul Platform, Huo Yuhao's body swayed slightly. The gray in his eyes slowly faded, and his restored black eyes swept over the students in the stands. Only then did he slowly walk out of the arena, without sparing Wu Feng another glance.
Wang Yan quickly rushed to Wu Feng's side and checked her condition. She had indeed only fainted and had not suffered any real injury. Even so, Wang Yan hurriedly picked her up and carried her to the Infirmary.
Wang Dong quickly stepped forward to support the swaying Huo Yuhao, her face full of concern. Wu Xuan simply stood where he was, without moving at all.
You can tell from this book's title that it mainly focuses on the wind element. The Soul Breaking Spear is only a supporting element, let alone Electrolux.
