Xu Xiaoyan's Sense of Crisis, Spirit Realm Test

Zero Class classroom.

The entire classroom was no different from those of ordinary classes, but with only Xu Yue and the few other students present, it appeared quite spacious.

All the student desks were lined up in a row, though not neatly; two aisles separated them, forming a peculiar three-three-two structure.

The leftmost section consisted of Xu Xiaoyan, Xu Yue, and Gu Yue.

In the middle were Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, and Wei Xiaofeng.

On the far right were Xie Xie and Tang Wulin.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the classroom remained strange, though it lacked the sense of mutual hostility felt in the Principal's Office.

Instead, it was filled with the scent of gunpowder from a head-on confrontation.

The cause of this atmosphere was precisely Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue, who sat on either side of Xu Yue.

"I'm telling you, aren't you from Class Five? Why are you crowding over here?" Xu Xiaoyan looked at Gu Yue, her teeth gritted.

"I came to the academy to learn, not to form cliques."

Gu Yue responded indifferently, "Student Xu Yue is the most talented peer I have ever met; naturally, I should learn from him."

As she spoke, her bright black eyes turned toward Xu Yue, her lips slightly pursed: "Student Xu Yue, you shouldn't mind, right..."

"I mind, I mind very much!"

Before Xu Yue could speak, Xu Xiaoyan shouted angrily, grabbing Xu Yue's sleeve with both small hands.

"Brother A-Yue, let's switch seats. Don't sit with this woman; she clearly has ulterior motives."

However, Gu Yue immediately extinguished Xu Xiaoyan's idea.

"The classroom is so big, I can just move to the other side."

"Gu Yue! You..." Xu Xiaoyan was instantly infuriated.

Xu Yue rubbed Xu Xiaoyan's hair with a helpless expression, comforting her softly: "It's fine! I believe Student Gu Yue has no ill intentions."

Feeling the warmth of Xu Yue's palm, Xu Xiaoyan's anger gradually subsided, and she muttered while pouting her red lips.

"She might not have ill intentions, but who knows if she has other ideas..."

Gu Yue's actions were exactly the same as those female students back at the Primary Academy who would constantly crowd around Xu Yue!

It was just that Gu Yue's appearance and talent were far superior to those female students who could barely even reach the level of a Soul Elder.

This gave Xu Xiaoyan an inexplicable sense of crisis.

On the other side, Wei Xiaofeng and Xie Xie, these two opponents from the Class Promotion Tournament, were also glaring at each other.

"Knife-wielder, you look like you're very unconvinced?"

Wei Xiaofeng felt Xie Xie's gaze and said disdainfully.

"Little Green Snake! Aren't you just relying on Xu..." Xie Xie stopped mid-sentence, immediately reorganizing his words.

"In a one-on-one duel, there is no way I would lose to you!"

"Tch! You think I'm afraid of you?" Wei Xiaofeng snorted coldly.

Xie Xie's strength was indeed not weak; without Xu Yue's shield, he couldn't guarantee a sure victory.

But when it came to trash talk, he couldn't back down!

Sensing the gunpowder between the two sides, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, who were sitting in the middle, looked at each other with faces full of helplessness.

As for Tang Wulin, sitting beside Xie Xie, he remained silent throughout, though his gaze would drift toward Xu Yue from time to time.

"Quiet!"

At this moment, Wu Zhangkong's cold shout suddenly came from the doorway.

The noise in the classroom vanished instantly.

"From today on, you are a team. Understanding one another is the most basic requirement. Follow me."

Having said that, Wu Zhangkong turned and left the classroom directly.

Seeing this, Xu Yue and the others immediately followed.

Soon, they arrived at a room upstairs filled with a technological aesthetic, where various instruments were placed.

Xu Yue had seen most of the instruments before, or rather, he had seen testing equipment of a higher grade than those before him.

"The first item: spiritual power test."

Wu Zhangkong said, "Wang Jinxi, you go first."

"Yes!" Hearing that he was first, the expression on Wang Jinxi's face became even uglier than if he were crying.

His spiritual power was his weak point; this had been clear ever since he obtained his Soul Spirit.

And Wang Jinxi's final test result was twenty-one points.

Seeing this, Xu Yue pondered slightly.

It was different from what he remembered, but not by much; it was likely caused by his influence back at the Primary Academy.

This result caused Wu Zhangkong to frown slightly. "Wang Jinxi, you must work hard to improve your spiritual power."

"Otherwise, you won't be able to fuse with more Soul Spirits in the future, which will have a significant impact on your cultivation."

Wang Jinxi naturally had no rebuttal to Wu Zhangkong's words, as they were the truth.

The second person to test their spiritual power was Xie Xie, whose spiritual power was forty-three points.

"Not bad, strive to break through to the Spirit Connection Realm within this year," Wu Zhangkong commented, noting it down in his manual.

Following that, Zhang Yangzi and Wei Xiaofeng quickly finished their tests, both remaining in the Spirit Origin Realm.

Next was Tang Wulin, with sixty-six points.

This Spirit Connection Realm spiritual power left Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, and the others greatly shocked.

Wei Xiaofeng pursed his lips, his face showing some resentment.

The testing did not stop because of Tang Wulin.

"Xu Xiaoyan, one hundred and seven points!!"

Looking at the number on the instrument, everyone except Xu Yue and Gu Yue opened their mouths wide in shock.

Even Wu Zhangkong, who was recording the data, stopped his pen and stared blankly at Xu Xiaoyan as she stepped down from the instrument.

"...Very good!"

After a long while, Wu Zhangkong finally spoke slowly.

Xu Xiaoyan walked to Xu Yue's side with a reserved air, triumphantly curling the corners of her mouth at Gu Yue on the other side.

However, before she could be happy for long, Gu Yue's test result caused the smile she had just worn to freeze on her face.

Three hundred and twenty-one points!

"Is this fake?"

Looking at Gu Yue's outrageous spiritual power, Wang Jinxi felt like crying. They were clearly students in the same class, the same age, and their cultivation levels were all at the Soul Grand Master rank.

Yet, his spiritual power was only a fraction of Gu Yue's.

"Spirit Connection Realm!" Zhang Yangzi couldn't help but click his tongue.

This was the standard for graduation from the Advanced Division; for this person to have reached it in the First Grade was truly astonishing.

Although he knew that someone who could possess the same thousand-year Soul Ring as Xu Yue would have extraordinary strength, he hadn't expected it to exceed them by this much.

Gu Yue stepped down from the testing chair and returned to her original position.

She looked at the frozen Xu Xiaoyan, her pink cherry lips curling slightly as she glanced down at her opponent.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but grit her silver teeth.

Creak!

The grinding sound was very faint, but Xu Yue, who was standing right beside her, heard it clearly and shook his head with a helpless sigh.

Classmate Xiaoyan shouldn't have picked a fight with anyone, but she just had to compare herself to an old monster like Gu Yue.

One had to know that the source sealed within her was comparable to a God King.

Even if it were only seventy percent, it would still be far stronger than the Main God Level.

Finally, it was Xu Yue's turn.

Everyone was full of anticipation for this genius who could go head-to-head with a Soul Emperor-level teacher.

Since Gu Yue, who also possessed a thousand-year Soul Ring, was already so terrifying, what would Xu Yue, who had one more than her, be like?

A trace of curiosity also appeared in Wu Zhangkong's eyes, though he already had a rough estimation in his heart.

Yet, when he thought of those three words, he still couldn't help but be shocked beyond measure.

However.

When Xu Yue sat on the testing chair, the rapidly jumping numbers completely shattered his internal defenses.
