"Thank you, Brother Tao. I will try my best."
Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Tang Wulin nodded vigorously.
In his heart, he silently swore that he must practice well and must not drag Brother Tao down or disappoint Brother Tao's hopes.
"Humph!"
Hearing the conversation between Zhao Tao and Tang Wulin, Xie Xie on the side snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.
"Why, humph, Xie Xie, do you look down on other people's ambitions, or are you gloating?"
"I advise you not to be too happy too soon..."
"Just now, I forgot to say that you, should also go with them to report to Class 5!"
Hearing Xie Xie's cold snort, Long Hengxu turned his head and glanced at Xie Xie and said.
"Director Long, this... why is this? I didn't participate in the fight! This is unfair!"
Hearing what Long Hengxu said, Xie Xie, who had been aloof and silent, finally argued eagerly.
"You were in the same dormitory with them. When you saw Zhou Changxi bullying the new students, not only did you not take the initiative to stop him or inform the teacher, you also stood by and watched, thinking of laughing at the joke."
"You are so cunning at such a young age. Will you be better when you grow up?"
"I asked you to go to Class 5 to train you well. I hope you can understand my good intentions!"
Hearing Xie Xie's complaint, Long Hengxu raised his voice slightly, and there was a hint of anger in his voice.
"Director Long, this is a malicious punishment. I don't accept it!"
Hearing this, Xie Xie raised his head unconvinced and looked directly into Long Hengxu's eyes!
"Unconvinced? Fine, then you can withdraw from Donghai College yourself!"
"This is not your Xie home!"
"If you want to study here, you have to abide by the rules of East China Academy!"
Looking at Xie Xie's unconvinced look, Long Hengxu showed no sign of giving in and continued to speak sternly.
"Okay, go to Class 5 if you want."
"I just don't believe that a mere shallow beach can trap a real dragon!"
Xie Xie said angrily.
"Well, I'll wait and see. You can go now. Remember, this won't happen again!"
After making arrangements for Zhao Tao and the other four, Long Hengxu sent them away.
"Xie Xie, a genius with innate soul power, and Zhao Tao, a freak who possesses spiritual power at a young age..."
"I wonder what kind of sparks will fly when they meet Wu Changkong?"
"I hope my arrangements today are correct, and can fully stimulate their potential and help them grow into pillars of East China Academy!"
Looking at the backs of the four people, Long Hengxu's eyes were deep, thinking secretly in his heart.
Obviously, his "punishment" of Zhao Tao and Xie Xie was also intentional.
...
On the other side.
"Zhao Tao, it's all your fault. I actually have to go to the worst Class 5."
"If you have the courage, come with me to the fighting spirit field of the academy. I want to duel with you!"
After leaving the Academic Affairs Office, Xie Xie glared at Zhao Tao.
Obviously.
The anger in his heart has made Xie Xie ignore the fact that Zhao Tao has a thousand-year soul skill.
"Duel with me? You are not worthy!"
"However, my little brother Tang Wulin is interested in fighting with you."
"If you want to challenge me, you have to beat my little brother first!"
Looking at the raging Xie Xie, Zhao Tao repeated all the words he had previously given to Tang Wulin.
"That's right. If you want to challenge Brother Tao, you have to get past me, Tang Wulin, first."
"If you're not a coward, then give me a good fight!"
After hearing Zhao Tao's words, Tang Wulin stepped forward and stood in front of Zhao Tao, his big eyes filled with determination and stubbornness.
"Okay, let's fight. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Xie Xie, seemingly enraged by Tang Wulin's words, stared at Tang Wulin and accepted his challenge.
"Then follow me!"
With that, Tang Wulin pulled Xie Xie up and headed for the Soul Fighting Arena inside East Sea Academy.
...
Soon.
East Sea Academy, Soul Fighting Arena.
"Tang Wulin, Eleventh Level Soul Master, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass!"
Gazing at Xie Xie in the distance, Tang Wulin summoned his Blue Silver Grass spirit, a white spirit ring flickering behind him.
"Xie Xie, Level 17 Spirit Master, Spirit: Light Dragon Dagger!"
Xie Xie's eyes flashed with disdain as he tilted his head back and began to introduce himself.
As Xie Xie finished his words, a flash of golden light appeared in his hand, transforming into a golden dagger.
Simultaneously, a ring of yellow, century-old spirit rings arose around Xie Xie, forming a stark contrast to Tang Wulin's white, ten-year-old spirit rings.
After all, Xie Xie was the eldest son of the Xie family of the East Sea, and his family's financial resources far surpassed those of a commoner like Tang Wulin.
A century-old spirit worth one million federal coins was a drop in the bucket for the Xie family.
Consequently, Xie Xie's face was filled with disdain for Tang Wulin, whose spirit was Blue Silver Grass and whose first spirit ring had only been cultivated for ten years.
"Tang Wulin, you're only an eleventh-level spirit master, and your spirit is the weakest Blue Silver Grass. Don't humiliate yourself here."
"Just let Zhao Tao come out and fight me. Save me time and yourself from humiliation!"
Xie Xie's voice was filled with impatience as he gazed at Tang Wulin in the distance. It was clear that he felt Tang Wulin was unworthy of being his opponent.
"You city folk, don't go too far!"
Hearing Xie Xie's words, Tang Wulin, already resentful of Xie Xie's arrogance, could no longer suppress his rage.
As Tang Wulin roared, his spirit power surged, and the white spirit ring behind him flashed. Vines of Blue Silver Grass burst forth from the air, sweeping towards Xie Xie.
"Hmph, a mere trifle!"
Watching Tang Wulin's attack, Xie Xie swung his Light Dragon Dagger, slashing at the Blue Silver Grass that swarmed from all directions.
However, the next moment, the confident smile on Xie Xie's face abruptly ended!
Although Xie Xie's reactions were swift and his attacks precise, his Light Dragon Dagger piercing every strand of Blue Silver Grass in his path
, the grass proved incredibly resilient and remained intact, only partially deflected. More Blue Silver Grass continued to surge forward, tightly encircling Xie Xie.
"Not good!"
Xie Xie cried out inwardly, facing this predicament. He quickly mobilized his spirit power and activated other spirit abilities to sever the Blue Silver Grass.
However, at that moment, Tang Wulin had already rushed forward and delivered a powerful punch to Xie Xie's stomach.
Instantly, under Tang Wulin's immense strength, surpassing even that of a combat spirit master, Xie Xie's body was sent flying backwards, sliding nearly ten meters on the ground before slowly coming to a stop.
Xie Xie, a spirit master of agility and attack, whose defensive abilities were already weak, was completely shattered by this blow. He struggled to even stand, let alone fight back.
At this moment, Tang Wulin also rushed to Xie Xie with a quick step and pressed him directly under him!
