Typhoon! A Man and a Woman Alone?

"Wei Xiaofeng, Level 22 Control Department Grand Soul Master, Martial Soul: Bili Snake."

"Zhang Yangzi, Level 22 Agility Attack Department Grand Soul Master, Martial Soul: Dark Eagle."

"Wang Jinxi, Level 22 Power Attack Department Grand Soul Master, Martial Soul: Bone Dragon."

"..."

"The strength of these three..."

"Really can't be underestimated."

Seeing this scene, even Tang Wulin, who knew the plot well, could not help showing a surprised expression as he spoke sincerely.

He truly found it difficult not to be shocked by the talents of these three classmates. It could only be said that—if they had lived in the same era, they would certainly have surpassed Tang San.

That comparison did not seem entirely appropriate, though. The geniuses of this era seemed capable of surpassing the Tang San of the past by an unknown margin if one simply picked any of them at random.

Take their group of protagonists, for example. Aside from Tang Wulin, none of them surpassed him.

"In the original story, when the protagonist was Level 13, these three had already reached the Grand Soul Master level, nearly an entire major realm ahead."

"These three all have the potential to enter the continent's number one academy, judging solely by their Martial Souls and strength."

"Shrek Academy will still be an enormous help. After all, as the number one academy on Douluo Continent, it truly deserves its reputation now."

Tang Wulin silently thought to himself, his mind already sinking into contemplation—

In his impression, there had been many versions of Shrek Academy. The most famous one was undoubtedly the academy founded by Flander and Zhao Wou-ki.

More precisely, if one were to prepare a history of Shrek Academy's development, this could perhaps be considered its initial version.

"Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocrities," "Little Blind Bear," and "Tang San's Academy Life" had all begun there. Although it had not helped Tang San much, it was Tang San's academy...

"Following the principle that when one person attains the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, Shrek's popularity and status rose steadily. Before long, it defeated every academy on Douluo Continent and became the continent's number one academy."

"And now!..."

"Its teaching staff is truly far too strong."

Tang Wulin wore a calm expression. After thinking for a long time, he came to that conclusion, a faint smile appearing on his face.

If it had been Shrek Academy from twenty thousand years ago, it probably would have had only Soul Emperor- and Soul Sage-level powerhouses, with nothing else. But now...

There were several Titled Douluo.

There had been so many appearances by powerful figures that even he himself had lost count.

However, leaving aside the Super Douluo at Shrek Academy's highest levels, there were already a full hand's worth of Titled Douluo who had not entered the Sea God Pavilion. If they were all gathered together, perhaps no force on the entire Douluo Continent could deal with them.

"Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi never went."

"Not only that, after the Class Promotion Tournament arc in the original story ended, they practically vanished early on. It really is strange, but I suppose they escaped a disaster."

Tang Wulin could not help thinking.

Yet as he thought further, his initial regret gradually vanished, replaced by relief—

Luckily, those young classmates had not gone to Shrek Academy. Otherwise, when those soul-guided artillery shells struck, they would probably have died rather miserably.

In that case, not going there seemed to have been a good thing after all. After all, nothing was more important than life; it could not be treated so casually.

Of course, he still had to go. It was not for any other reason, but simply because there seemed to be no more suitable place to sign in, especially with so many powerful Titled Douluo...

He seemed to see good things waving at him.

"No way."

"Teacher Wu Zhangkong, are you sure all of them are freshmen?"

At that moment, after learning the details of Class One's contestants, Xie Xie could not help revealing a stunned expression as he muttered.

Clearly, he still had not recovered from the shock.

It was not that he lacked confidence in his own strength. At only nine years old, he had already reached Level 19, not much weaker than Brother Lin.

Combined with his Innate Full Soul Power talent, he could be said to be the strongest genius in all of Donghai Academy apart from Brother Lin and Sister Gu Yue.

But now, after learning about Class One's strength, he truly could not remain calm... Three Grand Soul Masters—what was going on here?!

Brother Lin was a Grand Soul Master, and now three more had appeared. In Donghai Academy's junior division, they had encountered three of them at once. What was this situation—

"Guaranteed genuine."

"Naturally, there is no mistake."

Hearing Xie Xie's question, Wu Zhangkong immediately shook his head and replied calmly.

"The snake-type Martial Soul user you mentioned before must be the Bili Snake wielder from Class One, Wei Xiaofeng."

"However, based on what I know, among Class One's contestants, his strength barely qualifies him for third place—in other words, he is last."

"Although the Bili Snake Martial Soul is not bad, it cannot compare with the dark-attributed Golden Eagle and Bone Dragon."

Wu Zhangkong thought for a moment and silently analyzed the situation.

"However, you need not worry. Their talents are indeed good, but even compared with yours, they are probably not much stronger..."

"It was specifically because of their class that the academy issued new rules for the Class Promotion Tournament. Each grade's tournament will now only take place within that grade, and there will no longer be challenges across grades."

"Clearly, they are afraid that their class will sweep through several higher grades and cause a negative impact. Class One has been assigned the strongest teaching staff, and the academy places special importance on them..."

"And our goal is to defeat Class One and obtain the best teaching staff for ourselves."

A faint smile appeared on Wu Zhangkong's cold face as he spoke.

"All right, Teacher."

Tang Wulin softly responded and nodded.

"I'll head out first. I still have some things to take care of today."

As he spoke, he waved to the people around him and instantly headed outside, moving with remarkable lightness.

"Where are you going?"

"I'll come out and have fun with you too."

Beside him, Gu Yue wore a curious expression. As she spoke, she immediately followed him.

Yet what she found hard to believe was that, despite possessing the lightness of the wind attribute, she could not match his speed?

Who exactly has Wind Attribute Control here...

Don't tell me you have Wind Attribute Control too!

Gu Yue followed behind him as she could not help thinking.

"..."

Back on the training ground, Xie Xie realized that he had been left behind. Looking at Wu Zhangkong before him, he fell into deep thought.

"Xie Xie."

"How about you undergo some extra training first?"

Wu Zhangkong thought for a moment, then said this with a kind expression.

"..."

"No—"

Elsewhere, Tang Wulin had only one destination: the forging workshop. More precisely, it was the workshop Mang Tian had left behind from when he worked in Eastsea City.

"So..."

"You know how to forge too?"

Looking at the scene inside, Gu Yue made a rough assessment and asked in surprise.

She had not expected Tang Wulin to know how to forge while also being so strong.

"I know a little..."

Tang Wulin nodded. Just as he was about to say something, his Communication Soul Guidance Device rang. It was Xie Xie calling.

"Brother Lin!"

"The academy just issued a notice. There'll be a massive typhoon this week. The wind is so strong it could blow someone away, so we get the whole week off and aren't allowed to go anywhere... Where are you?"

Xie Xie said.

"..."

Hearing those words, Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yue, who was blinking at him expectantly, and fell into thought.

"It seems..."

"I can only stay here for a while."

Gu Yue casually sat down on the sofa and said this with a serious expression.

Tang Wulin:?
