Back at the hotel, Tang Wulin immediately recovered his energy, becoming lively and energetic, showing no signs of injury at all.
"Shaoyu, you're really amazing!" Tang Wulin said, his eyes full of excitement and gratitude.
"Hehe, it's nothing." Jing Shaoyu waved his hand calmly.
Clearly, Jing Shaoyu had taken action. As a teammate, he should, both morally and rationally, treat Tang Wulin, especially since Tang Wulin would need to be at the forefront in the five-person team competition in the afternoon.
Moreover, according to the team competition rules, a team would be disqualified if its members were incomplete.
"What are your thoughts on this battle?" Wu Zhangkong asked.
"Teacher Wu, she's very strong!" As the person involved, Tang Wulin spoke first, saying, "Her Martial Soul is very strong, her control is very strong, and her skill in using her Martial Soul is also very strong. If it weren't for the special nature of the Gold Dragon Claw, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had a chance at all."
Wu Zhangkong nodded but didn't rush to comment, instead looking at the others.
"It should be said that she is worthy of being a student of Shrek Academy. At such a young age, she has already reached the state of being one with her sword. If I were to fight her, I would have to expend some effort to win," Jing Shaoyu said.
"She is not my opponent." Gu Yue's answer was concise and clear.
Wu Zhangkong remained noncommittal to their answers, continuing to look at Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie.
"Hehe, Teacher Wu, I can feel that Ye Xinglan's Martial Soul and my Martial Soul have something in common," Xu Xiaoyan replied with a smile. "However, my control should be effective against her."
"I, I..." Xie Xie scratched his head awkwardly, saying, "Teacher Wu, I probably wouldn't be her opponent. Her use of her Martial Soul is too strong, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get close to her!"
After listening to Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie's answers, Wu Zhangkong finally reacted. He nodded and said, "Your self-awareness is quite clear. You have also seen the strength of Shrek Academy students. Their realm may not be higher than yours, but their control over their own Martial Souls, their control over their own bodies, and their understanding of Martial Souls are all stronger than yours. This is also what you need to focus on training in the future."
"Yes, we understand!" The others replied immediately upon hearing this.
Wu Zhangkong nodded and said, "Alright, go eat. There's still a competition in the afternoon."
In the afternoon's team competition, Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi arrived at the competition venue under the guidance of a woman. Then, Ye Xinglan couldn't help but widen her eyes, looking incredulously at Tang Wulin, who was jumping around on the stage, her jaw almost dropping.
"How could this be?" she exclaimed in her heart. Clearly, in the morning, this guy had been stabbed all over by her sword, so how could he be perfectly fine in the afternoon, appearing at the competition venue as if nothing had happened?
Ye Xinglan couldn't understand it.
The woman leading Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi was named Shen Yi, Wu Zhangkong's junior sister. At this moment, she was looking around expectantly for someone, but after scanning the area, she lowered her head in disappointment. Clearly, she was looking for Wu Zhangkong.
However, Wu Zhangkong did not appear at the competition venue. The person leading Jing Shaoyu and the others to participate was still the Dean, Long Hengxu.
On the battle stage, the East Sea Academy's five-person team's opponents were from a small city under the jurisdiction of the Skysea Alliance. The configuration of their personnel strength was the same as their opponents yesterday, all five Great Soul Masters, and their ages were all around fifteen.
But to be honest, the strength of these five people was not as good as their opponents yesterday. Only one of the five had a Hundred-Year Soul Ring, and the other four all had two white rings, so their strength was limited.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were still at the forefront, with Jing Shaoyu assisting from the rear, and Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue watching calmly. Tang Wulin and Xie Xie broke through the opponent's formation with overwhelming force. Then, Jing Shaoyu's Fire Burst and Wind Binding Art were launched in combination, and they won the victory in less than five minutes.
The East Sea Academy's five-person team successfully advanced to the third round of the five-person team competition.
As Jing Shaoyu and his group left the competition area to return to the hotel, Ye Xinglan, pulling Xu Lizhi, blocked their path.
"Hey, Tang Wulin, how did your injuries heal so quickly?" Ye Xinglan asked, her eyes filled with doubt, her tone extremely tough.
"What's it to you?" Before Tang Wulin could answer, Xie Xie retorted unhappily, "Aren't you being a bit too nosy?"
Ye Xinglan ignored Xie Xie, staring intently at Tang Wulin. Her gaze, like her sword, was incomparably sharp, making Tang Wulin feel very uncomfortable. He frowned and said, "My companion said, it's none of your business! Please move aside, we want to go back to the hotel to rest."
"No, you have to explain it clearly today!" Ye Xinglan was very assertive, with no intention of backing down.
"You..." Xie Xie instantly flew into a rage and was about to attack, but someone stopped him.
The person who stopped him was Jing Shaoyu, who was walking behind. He shook his head at Xie Xie, and then stepped forward.
His actions were seen by Ye Xinglan. A solemn look appeared on the girl's face. For some reason, this handsome young man made her feel inexplicably close, as if there was a special connection between them. This made Ye Xinglan feel a little strange, and also gave rise to a sense of vigilance, so she subconsciously took a step back.
In fact, Ye Xinglan's feeling was not groundless. All of this was due to the influence of the Origin Spirit Martial Soul.
As Jing Shaoyu's cultivation reached the Soul Grandmaster realm, the Origin Spirit Martial Soul, as the embodiment of nature, gradually showed its true power. All natural Martial Soul owners would feel goodwill and closeness towards Jing Shaoyu. The lower the realm, the more obvious the influence.
Ye Xinglan's Martial Soul was the Star God Sword, so naturally she would also be affected by the Origin Spirit Martial Soul and feel close to Jing Shaoyu.
"I don't want to know what conflicts you have with Tang Wulin, but you are being a bit too aggressive. You already injured him in the match this morning, and now you're here to make trouble. Could it be that all the students of Shrek Academy are so unreasonable?" Jing Shaoyu frowned slightly and said to Ye Xinglan.
"Of course not!" Ye Xinglan immediately retorted when she heard Jing Shaoyu's words, but her attitude softened, "I just want to understand why his injuries healed so quickly!"
"Because there is a healing-type Soul Master in our team," Jing Shaoyu said.
Ye Xinglan's face showed a look of realization when she heard this, and she nodded subconsciously, "So that's how it is, I understand."
"Then, please step aside, we're going back to the hotel," Jing Shaoyu said with a smile.
"Oh, okay." Ye Xinglan pulled Xu Lizhi to the side, her expression a little dazed.
Jing Shaoyu and his group of five were able to leave the arena. After they could no longer see their figures, Xu Lizhi weakly said, "Sister Xinglan, I have a question."
"What question? Speak," Ye Xinglan said without raising her head, still thinking about Jing Shaoyu's answer.
"That boy said that there is a healing-type Soul Master in their team, but what level of healing-type Soul Master can heal Tang Wulin so quickly?" Xu Lizhi said with doubt, his small eyes flashing with the light of thought.
"I was wondering what was wrong!" Ye Xinglan finally reacted when she heard Xu Lizhi's words, and a look of displeasure appeared on her face. She said angrily, "It's really hateful, such a waste of a good-looking face, actually deceiving a girl like me! Little Fatty, let's go!"
"Hey! Sister Xinglan, where are we going?"
"Get back the withdrawal application!"
On the other side, on the way back to the hotel, Xie Xie was animatedly talking about Ye Xinglan's reaction just now, his face full of teasing smiles.
"As expected, being handsome is really too advantageous!" Xie Xie said with emotion, "Even the students of Shrek Academy can't resist your captain's peerless beauty! If you ask me, even if you don't become a Soul Master, you will definitely live a wonderful life!"
"Hehe, really? I don't believe it." Jing Shaoyu shook his head with a light smile when he heard this, and said, "This world is ultimately one where strength is respected. Without enough strength, appearance will only become a burden."
"That's right, that's right!" Xu Xiaoyan nodded repeatedly and said, "Xie Xie, you're just superficial. Appearance is just the icing on the cake for Little Yu Brother. Little Yu Brother's real strength lies in his talent as a Soul Master!"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, I'm superficial! Not as profound as Miss Xiaoyan!" Xie Xie couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Xu Xiaoyan's words, and teased.
Xu Xiaoyan immediately showed an angry expression and said angrily, "You guy, you're really annoying!"
The group returned to the hotel, talking and laughing. Since there was still a long time before dinner, they all returned to their rooms to rest.
Close to dinner time, Jing Shaoyu received the third round of the Designer Competition notice. Immediately afterwards, he received a message from Wu Mian, asking him to come down for dinner.
Brothers, it's the end of the month, don't hoard your monthly tickets, they'll expire soon!
