Eastsea Academy's Class Promotion Tournament was an annual event.
Classes that achieved excellent results in the tournament not only saw their rankings change; their homeroom teachers were also rewarded.
The contestants' performances would also be recorded if they stood out.
That would be a huge help when it came to advancing to higher schools in the future.
The Class Promotion Tournament had become a symbol of honor at Eastsea Academy.
Being defeated as the challenged class was a disgrace, while winning as the challenger was a glory.
The reason it was held three months after the start of the school year
was to give each class ample time to select students and arrange tactics.
But for children who had only one or two rings, no tactic could beat hard power.
The first match of the Class Promotion Tournament was Class 5 against Class 4.
Wu Zhangkong didn't send three students like he had in the original story. Instead, he sent only Mu Han and Gu Yue.
That was perfectly reasonable.
Generally speaking, since the overall strength of the lower-ranked class was lacking, it was best to send as few students as possible when challenging a higher class.
Choosing the two strongest students to compete was the best solution.
There were two main reasons Wu Zhangkong had sent three students in the original story.
The first was that Xie Xie and Gu Yue didn't get along, so Tang Wulin needed to act as a buffer.
The second was that Grade 1 Class 1 had three Two-Ring Soul Grandmasters.
Wu Zhangkong had trained three students so they could face Class 1 in a three-on-three match.
But now Long Hengxu had made adjustments. He had sent Xie Xie to Class 2, and Wei Xiaofeng had gone there as well.
In this situation, Wu Zhangkong had no need to send three students.
In reality, Class 4's overall strength wasn't much greater than Class 5's.
When all was said and done, Class 5 was made up of students who wouldn't need to keep studying if not for compulsory education.
Class 4 was only marginally better, and its students had little potential too.
Mu Han used a Soul Skill, Wind Eye, with a casual flick, and pinned both of his opponents in place.
Then Gu Yue unleashed a bombardment of elemental attacks.
The two of them swept through Class 4 like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
They hadn't even made contact, and their victory was even more overwhelming than in the original story.
Kong Hanwen, Class 4's homeroom teacher, stared blankly at the scene.
He wanted to ask Long Hengxu, the director of studies, whether the class he was facing was really Class 5 and not Class 1.
Wu Zhangkong was strong, sure, but with the trash class he taught, how strong could they really be?
But now, that was clearly nonsense.
Those two students shouldn't have been in Class 5 at all. They were proper Class 1 material!
Mu Han did feel a little sorry for Class 4's homeroom teacher.
Class 5 was the weakest overall, but it had him and Gu Yue, two exceptionally talented students.
And according to the original story, Class 3 had also been assigned three talented students because of the teachers' mistakes.
Weren't they triplets with flying Martial Souls?
Flying Martial Souls were relatively rare, after all,
and on top of that, they were triplet brothers.
Even if their Soul Power was weak and their Soul Spirits were unimpressive, they should still have been placed in Class 1, where elites received special training.
But since the triplets had enrolled separately, the academy hadn't realized at first that they were triplets.
In the end, they were assigned to Class 3 and became its trump cards.
Unfortunately, that was no use.
The next day, when they faced Class 3,
Ye Yingrong, Class 3's homeroom teacher, even took the initiative to propose a three-on-three match.
Wu Zhangkong was interested in the three brothers too, so he agreed.
As a result, Mu Han merely increased Wind Eye's power a little, and the triplets couldn't even get off the ground.
Before Tang Wulin could run over, Gu Yue's bombardment had already brought the match to an end.
The Gu Brothers had flying Martial Souls, and they were triplets.
After they enrolled, Ye Yingrong had focused her training on them.
She had worked on their aerial combat and their ability to coordinate with each other.
But Mu Han had stopped them from even flying. What else could they do?
The match against Class 2 went about the same way.
Wei Xiaofeng was a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, and Xie Xie had Twin Martial Souls.
Both were agility attack types. Xie Xie had greater burst power, while Wei Xiaofeng was nimbler and more versatile.
But now, restrained by Wind Eye, their speed was naturally cut down by a great deal.
What threat could an agility attack type pose if he couldn't run?
But then, an unexpected change occurred. The Light Dragon Dagger in Xie Xie's hand shrank a little, and its glow dimmed.
It looked more solid, though. Its lines had become clearly visible, and it radiated a terrifying aura.
At the same time, another Soul Ring appeared around Xie Xie.
He had actually broken through mid-match and reached the Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster level?
With his Twin Martial Souls, Xie Xie's Soul Power had already surpassed Wei Xiaofeng's, even though Wei Xiaofeng had broken through to Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster earlier.
But just as Xie Xie was about to break free of Wind Eye's restraint, a force of suction suddenly came from above.
At the same time, the suction beneath both of them vanished.
Wei Xiaofeng only stumbled.
But Xie Xie, who had been using all his strength to break free of the Wind Eye beneath his feet, was swept straight into the air.
Mu Han could only activate one Wind Eye at a time.
So when the two of them moved apart, Mu Han chose to target Xie Xie, easing the pressure on Wei Xiaofeng.
That didn't matter much.
The next moment, the Wind Eye in midair vanished, and another appeared beneath Wei Xiaofeng.
Not only was Wei Xiaofeng restrained again, but Xie Xie, still in midair, crashed straight down onto him.
Then the Wind Eye beneath them disappeared again, and both of them were swept into the air by one that appeared out of nowhere above them.
The previous two matches had both been fought in tandem with Gu Yue.
Mu Han had been in charge of control, while Gu Yue had handled the offense.
But that didn't mean Mu Han had no offensive ability.
What's more, once his control reached this level, he could use it to attack as well.
After three straight victories, Grade 1 Class 5 had finally become the center of attention.
Tomorrow was a day off. After the break, they would face the challenge of taking on Grade 1 Class 1.
Every Grade 1 Class 1 was filled with that year's most outstanding geniuses.
For at least twenty years, Eastsea Academy had never seen a Class 1 defeated by a lower-ranked class in the Class Promotion Tournament.
And then, just like in the original story, a typhoon lasting seven days arrived.
Gu Yue stared at Mu Han in shock. "You really called it."
With Di Tian's strength, it was impossible for him to go head-to-head with all of humanity.
But if all he wanted was to capture an ordinary human child, that would be easy.
At the time, though, Mu Han had said things like "Heaven's secrets must not be revealed" and "We have to wait until typhoon season to hide from the heavens."
Di Tian had thought Mu Han was bluffing, but in the end, Gu Yue had asked him to leave for the time being.
Now it seemed Mu Han hadn't been making things up. A typhoon really had arrived, and Mu Han really could foresee the future.
Even the Silver Dragon King at the peak of her strength couldn't predict the weather three months in advance.
Mu Han didn't hide anything from them, and told them directly about the Golden Dragon King Bloodline inside Tang Wulin.
He also threw in some extra information.
For example, Tang Wulin was the son of God King Tang.
And the current Plane Master was Tang Wulin's grandfather, Tang Hao.
Anyway, even though Di Tian and the others knew that Tang Wulin had the Golden Dragon King Bloodline inside him, they still didn't dare lay a hand on him.
