After saying this, Xu Zhengyang disregarded the miserable state of everyone, as well as the drastically changed expressions of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, and left the arena alone.
Xu Jie quickly arranged for people to treat the students on the stage, while Jing Hongchen personally treated Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen.
Even so, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen looked extremely dejected, as if they had suffered a great blow and were witnessing the cruelty of the world for the first time.
"Grandpa, am I really that bad? Why do I always lose so badly? Last time, Xiao Meng and I played together, and we were completely outmatched. This time, we have a total of thirty-nine people. We should have won no matter what, so how could we still lose?"
Jing Hongchen remained silent for a moment before speaking, " Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, it's really too much to ask you to fight Xu Zhengyang. In terms of Soul Power Level, Xu Zhengyang might not be as good as you and Xiao Meng, but in terms of physical fitness and the use of Martial Soul, the gap between you is too big."
"Not to mention, in terms of actual combat ability, if Xu Zhengyang goes all out, even a Soul King or Level 5 Soul Engineer might not be able to fight him. In particular, the killing intent he displays is something that many Five-Ring Soul King don't possess, let alone the two of you."
Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth. "Grandpa, I will never admit defeat so easily. Sooner or later, I will definitely defeat him."
Jing Hongchen shook his head. " Xiao Hongchen, your talent is unparalleled in my life, you could even be said to be the strongest genius in the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy in the last hundred years. But this Xu Zhengyang is a monster, a monster who has made fighting an instinct. You and he grew up in the same era, especially in the same class. I wonder if this is your tragedy."
Meng Hongchen suddenly spoke up, "Grandpa, do you think Xu Zhengyang really has a way to cure the poison of the Martial Soul?"
Jing Hongchen said, "I don't know either, but since Xu Zhengyang has been to Shrek City and knows a lot about Shrek, it's probably right for him to have you train your bodies and increase your combat experience."
"Actually, over the years, I've been considering increasing internal competition within the academy to enhance students' practical experience. The academy has already stipulated that upperclassmen must conduct one practical sparring session every month, but you first-year students haven't started implementing it yet. What Xu Zhengyang is doing now is actually what I've been trying to promote, only he's taking it to a more extreme level."
The entire Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy has a large number of healing Soul Master, and even healing Soul Tool. These injured students quickly recovered their health because Xu Zhengyang deliberately controlled his power and did not kill them. Generally, everyone's injuries were not serious.
The next morning, everyone arrived at the playground immediately. Compared to their sleepy and indifferent state at the beginning of the previous days, they all appeared highly motivated, displaying the pride and indomitable spirit of geniuses.
Moreover, the way these people looked at Xu Zhengyang was as if it were poisoned. Some were resentful, some were hostile and provocative, and many admired him, but the most obvious among them was fear.
The current class of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy is considered the strongest class in history, and its students are also believed to possess the greatest talent in history. However, yesterday's battle shattered everyone's pride.
Unexpectedly, the thirty-nine most talented people of this generation were defeated by Xu Zhengyang, a Soul Elder, and could even be said to be powerless to fight back. This is undoubtedly the greatest humiliation for everyone.
On the other hand, countless people were impressed by Xu Zhengyang's terrifying combat power. Not to mention anyone else, no matter which grade, class, or individual, even Ma Rulong, the captain of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy Team, who was known as the strongest student in recent years, could not defeat all the opponents in the entire class so easily.
Xu Zhengyang was right when he said that Soul Engineer has done in-depth research on Soul Tool is not necessarily a strong person. These proud geniuses all want to become strong people, not just Soul Engineer.
From that day on, everyone began to strictly follow Teacher Xu Jie's arrangements for physical training, and also underwent practical assessments.
There are two practical assessments every week, in which all students compete against each other. Those who lose the battle will be punished accordingly. These punishments are not things like lowering grades or repeating a year, but rather more brutal training.
Many people complained bitterly, but none of them backed down. Facing difficulties head-on was the pride of these geniuses, especially Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. The two of them were extremely hardworking in their physical training, and their training intensity far exceeded that of other students. It seemed that they both wanted to prove their talent.
At Xu Zhengyang's suggestion, Teacher Xu Jie gradually added various training methods to the basic running, including weighted running, outdoor cross-country running, uneven bars obstacle course, and weighted swimming. These were all summarized by Xu Zhengyang based on his training experience in the army in his previous life, which can temper the body in all aspects.
Therefore, teacher Xu Jie applied to the school, and the school, based on the medicinal bath formula provided by Xu Zhengyang, provided medicinal baths to the students after they finished exercising.
Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy is one of the wealthiest academies in the entire Douluo Continent. It makes a fortune just from selling Soul Tool and wouldn't care about these medicinal herbs at all.
When Professor Xu Jie first raised the issue, the college leaders readily approved it and even provided a considerable amount of additional medicinal herbs. They also stated that the college would unconditionally support any requests Professor Xu Jie might have, and spending a little more money was not a problem at all, as long as the students in Class 1 of this year performed well.
Clearly, everyone knew that, given the talent and age of the entire Class One, most of the members of the next Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy Team would come from Class One. Not to mention that this class also had three geniuses: Xu Zhengyang, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen. These three were definitely promising talents worth cultivating, and each of them had an extremely strong background. No one dared to mistreat them in any way.
To everyone's surprise, even with increased physical training and two combat training sessions per week, the entire Class One did not fall behind in their research on Soul Tool. Not only did the seven Soul Elder learn at a rapid pace, but even those who were not originally Soul Elder were also cultivating at a fast pace. Ye Nongfeng had even broken through to the Soul Elder Soul Elder realm.
This rapid improvement has astonished many, and even some school leaders have specifically discussed the situation in Class One, considering whether to promote this learning method throughout the entire college. However, this proposal has been met with considerable opposition, and therefore has not been fully implemented for the time being.
