The Grade 1 Class 1 promotion tournament is an annual grand event at Eastsea Academy.

Classes that achieve excellent results in the promotion tournament not only see their rankings change, but their homeroom teachers also receive commendations.

Furthermore, participating students who perform exceptionally well are officially recorded.

This is of immense help for their future advancement.

The promotion tournament has become a symbol of honor at Eastsea Academy.

Being defeated by a challenger is a disgrace, while winning as a challenger is a glory.

The reason it is held three months after the start of the school year is to give each class sufficient time to select students and arrange tactics.

However, for these children who only have one or two soul rings, no tactic can compare to raw strength.

The first match of the promotion tournament was Class 5 against Class 4.

Wu Zhangkong did not send out three people as in the original story; instead, he let Mu Han and Gu Yue go up.

This was normal, however.

Generally, because of the disparity in overall strength, classes would send as few people as possible when challenging upward.

Selecting the two most outstanding students to compete is the optimal solution.

In the original story, Wu Zhangkong sent three people for two main reasons.

The first was that the relationship between Xie Xie and Gu Yue was poor, requiring Tang Wulin as a lubricant.

The second was that Grade 1 Class 1 had three two-ring Soul Grand Master students.

Wu Zhangkong trained three people specifically to have a three-on-three match against Class 1.

But now, Long Hengxu had made adjustments, not only sending Xie Xie to Class 2 but also Wei Xiaofeng.

Under these circumstances, there was no need for Wu Zhangkong to send three people.

In reality, the overall strength of Class 4 was not much better than that of Class 5.

Class 5 was, at the end of the day, composed of students who wouldn't need to continue schooling if not for compulsory education.

Class 4 was barely better, but equally lacking in potential.

With a casual flick of his hand, Mu Han used the soul skill Wind Eye to control both opponents.

Then, Gu Yue unleashed a bombardment using elemental powers.

The two of them defeated Class 4 like autumn leaves swept away by the wind.

They didn't even make physical contact, making the victory even more of a crushing blow than in the original story.

Class 4 homeroom teacher Kong Hanwen stared blankly at this scene.

He really wanted to ask the dean, Long Hengxu, if the class he was facing was really Class 5, and not Class 1?

Wu Zhangkong was very strong, but given the trash class he taught, how strong could they really be?

But now it seemed that was all nonsense.

These two students shouldn't be in Class 5 at all; they were clearly Grade 1 Class 1 material!

However, Mu Han also felt a bit of sympathy for the Class 4 homeroom teacher.

Class 5 had the lowest overall strength, but it possessed two talents: him and Gu Yue.

According to the original plot, Class 3 also received three talents due to the teachers' mistakes.

It seemed to be triplets who possessed flight-type martial souls?

One must know that flight-type martial souls are relatively rare.

Coupled with the fact that they were triplet brothers, even if their soul power was weak and their soul spirits were not strong, they should have been sent to Class 1, which was specifically for cultivating elites.

It was only because the triplets arrived at the academy separately that the academy initially didn't know they were triplets.

In the end, they were assigned to Class 3 and became the trump cards of Class 3.

It was just a pity that it was useless.

The next day, when they faced Class 3.

Class 3 homeroom teacher Ye Yingrong even took the initiative to propose a three-on-three match.

Wu Zhangkong was also very interested in the Gu Brothers, so he agreed.

As a result, Mu Han only slightly increased the power of Wind Eye, and the triplets couldn't even take flight.

Before Tang Wulin could even run over, Gu Yue's bombardment had already ended the match.

The Gu Brothers possessed flight-type martial souls and were triplets.

After they enrolled, what Ye Yingrong focused on training was these three brothers.

She practiced their aerial combat and their ability to coordinate with one another.

If Mu Han prevented them from even taking flight, wouldn't that be the end of it?

The subsequent match against Grade 1 Class 5 went much the same way.

Wei Xiaofeng was a two-ring Soul Grand Master, while Xie Xie possessed Twin Martial Souls.

However, both were agility-type soul masters; Xie Xie had strong explosive power, while Wei Xiaofeng was more agile and versatile.

Now, under the restraint of the Wind Eye, their speed was naturally greatly diminished.

If an agility-type soul master couldn't run, what threat did they pose?

But just then, a sudden change occurred. The Light Dragon Dagger in Xie Xie's hand shrank a size, and its radiance dimmed slightly.

Yet, it appeared more solid, with intricate patterns clearly visible, radiating a terrifying aura.

At the same time, an additional soul ring appeared on Xie Xie.

Had he actually broken through in the heat of battle to reach the level of a two-ring Soul Grand Master?

Possessing Twin Martial Souls, Xie Xie's soul power had already surpassed that of Wei Xiaofeng, who had broken through to become a two-ring Soul Grand Master earlier.

However, the moment Xie Xie attempted to break free from the Wind Eye's restraint, a suction force suddenly descended from above.

Simultaneously, the suction force beneath the two disappeared.

Wei Xiaofeng merely stumbled.

But Xie Xie, who had been exerting all his strength to break free from the Wind Eye beneath his feet, was instantly swept into the sky.

Mu Han could only activate one Wind Eye at a time.

Therefore, when the two widened the distance between them, Mu Han chose to target Xie Xie, causing the suppression on Wei Xiaofeng to weaken.

But it was of no consequence.

The next moment, the Wind Eye in the air dissipated, and another appeared beneath Wei Xiaofeng's feet.

Not only was Wei Xiaofeng restrained again, but Xie Xie, who had been in mid-air, crashed directly into him.

Immediately after, the Wind Eye beneath their feet vanished, and the two were swept into the sky by a Wind Eye that appeared out of thin air.

Although the previous two matches had been in coordination with Gu Yue, with Mu Han responsible for control and Gu Yue for output, it did not mean Mu Han lacked offensive capabilities.

Moreover, with control reaching this level, output could also be unleashed through control.

With three wins in three matches, Grade 1 Class 5 finally became the center of attention.

Tomorrow was a rest day, and after the break, they would face the moment to challenge Grade 1 Class 1.

Every Grade 1 Class 1 was filled with the most outstanding geniuses of that year.

For at least twenty years, Eastsea Academy had no record of a Class 1 being defeated by a lower-ranked class in the promotion tournament.

And then, just as in the original story, a seven-day typhoon arrived.

Gu Yue looked at Mu Han in shock: "Really, you were right."

With the strength of Di Tian, it was impossible to go head-to-head with all of humanity.

But if he only wanted to snatch an ordinary human cub, it would be far too easy.

However, at the time, Mu Han had said things like "heavenly secrets cannot be revealed" and "one must wait for the typhoon to arrive to obscure the heavenly secrets."

Back then, Di Tian thought Mu Han was just bluffing him, and in the end, it was Gu Yue who convinced Di Tian to leave first.

Now, it seemed Mu Han hadn't been talking nonsense; the typhoon had truly arrived, and Mu Han could truly predict the future.

Even the Silver Dragon King in her prime couldn't have predicted the weather three months in advance.

Mu Han didn't hide anything, directly telling them about the Golden Dragon King bloodline within Tang Wulin.

Beyond that, he also provided some additional information.

For instance, that Tang Wulin was the son of God King Tang.

For instance, that the current Plane Master was Tang Wulin's grandfather, Tang Hao.

In any case, even though Di Tian and the others knew Tang Wulin possessed the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, they dared not make a move.
