Chapter 27 Don't worry, I'm here
"Brother Tao, what should we do?"
Gazing at the three Gu brothers in the sky, Xie Xie's face darkened, his eyes filled with worry.
After all, in the promotion tournament, each match was limited to thirty minutes.
If a challenger couldn't defeat their opponent within thirty minutes, they would be deemed defeated!
And the three Gu brothers were clearly trying to exploit this rule and drag the match out until the clock ran out!
"I didn't expect it to be a Flying Spirit Master!"
"Yeah, that's really unfair!"
"It's an unfair victory, but a win is a win. What's wrong with using the rules properly?"
Looking
at the three Gu brothers in the sky, the students began to discuss. Class
Three's homeroom teacher, Ye Yingrong, also looked at Wu Changkong with a defiant expression.
Wu Zhangkong, on the other hand, remained incredibly calm, observing the battle calmly, as if unaffected by the situation.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Zhao Tao simply smiled faintly at Xie Xie's words.
For ordinary soul masters, dealing with flying soul masters is indeed very difficult without the ability to attack from a distance!
Unfortunately, Zhao Tao is no ordinary soul master!
"Time Burial Sword!"
Looking at the three Gu brothers in the sky, Zhao Tao sneered and activated his first soul skill!
As the purple soul ring flashed behind him, silver light shone from Zhao Tao's palm, transforming into a gorgeous silver sword!
Holding the Time Burial Sword, Zhao Tao stretched his arm back and suddenly exerted force, launching the Time Burial Sword like a javelin at Gu Tianming, the captain of the three Gu brothers!
"Hmph, a mere trick! You can't hit me from such a distance!"
Gu Tianming's eyes flashed with disdain as he watched Zhao Tao's actions. His wings danced behind him, and his body dodged backward!
However, Zhao Tao, with his immense combat experience, had already anticipated his evasion!
Mid-air, the Time Burial Sword, thrown by Zhao Tao, also changed direction, aiming precisely at the spot where Gu Tianming had dodged!
"Impossible!"
Gu Tianming's eyes flickered with disbelief as he watched this scene unfold!
However, after his previous dodge, the distance between him and the Time Burial Sword had dwindled to less than ten meters!
At such close range, further significant evasion was impossible!
Therefore, Gu Tianming could only watch helplessly as the Time Burial Sword's blade edge drew ever closer!
"No!"
Imagined his body being sliced in half by the blade, Gu Tianming cried out in despair.
And under the tense gaze of the students, and even Long Hengxu, the Time Burial Sword ultimately failed to pierce Gu Tianming's body!
Instead, it seemed to instantly transform into an illusion, passing through Gu Tianming's body before slowly descending and returning to Zhao Tao's side!
"Gu Tianming, eliminated!"
Watching this scene, Long Hengxu, who had been feeling a heavy weight hanging in his heart, finally relaxed.
He could easily tell that Zhao Tao had deliberately spared Gu Tianming!
Then, Zhao Tao naturally followed suit, throwing the Time Burial Sword twice!
Facing Zhao Tao's attacks, the brothers Gu Tianri and Gu Tianyue tried their best to fly higher.
However, they were still easily struck by the Time Burial Sword, and were ultimately declared the losers by Long Hengxu!
"First Grade, Class 5, wins!"
With all three Gu brothers defeated, Long Hengxu decisively announced the results of the battle!
At this moment, he was also deeply moved by Zhao Tao's stunning performance!
As for Ye Yingrong, the head teacher of Class 3, Grade 1, her face was completely stunned!
She had thought that, relying on their flying characteristics, the three brothers of the Gu family would definitely be able to drag the battle to the end and win.
But she never expected that in front of Zhao Tao, they couldn't even withstand a single move!
"Brother Tao, you are so awesome!"
After the battle, Xie Xie on the side also quickly gave Zhao Tao a thumbs up!
In this battle, he hardly exerted any strength and was completely carried away by Zhao Tao!
After witnessing Zhao Tao's terrifying strength again, Xie Xie's admiration for Zhao Tao in his heart undoubtedly reached a new level!
"Well done, Zhao Tao!"
As for Gu Yue, he also silently raised his hand and gave Zhao Tao a thumbs up.
In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the next day.
Zhao Tao, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie went out again to fight against Class 2, Grade 1!
Although the strength of the three students from Class 2, Grade 1 is much higher than that of Class 3, all of them are at level 15 or 16.
But they are much less difficult than Class 3, Grade 1.
Zhao Tao only took Gu Yue and Xie Xie to make a slight move and easily defeated them.
So far, the entire first-grade promotion competition has only one last battle left!
That is the final battle between Class 5, Grade 1 and Class 1, the strongest class in the first grade!
However...
this game did not start immediately!
After all.
The day after the battle with Class 2, Grade 1 was a rest day.
Therefore, the promotion competition was suspended for one day.
And just when everyone was actively preparing for the promotion competition the next day.
Suddenly, a series of rapid soul guide broadcasts sounded in Donghai College -
"Attention, students and teachers! A strong typhoon is approaching tonight and will last for a week!"
"Please stay in the dormitories and be safe. The promotion tournament is suspended and will resume after the typhoon passes."
Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin all looked surprised upon hearing the announcement.
After all, the timing of this typhoon was a bit too coincidental.
Zhao Tao, alone, remained remarkably calm.
After all, as a time traveler and a reborn being, he had long known the storm was coming!
Of course, the storm in his memory still occurred as expected.
But in this life, thanks to Zhao Tao's efforts, many things have changed dramatically!
Although he had many plans in his first life, it was his first time traveling through time, and his limited strength made many plans difficult to implement!
Now, thanks to Zhao Tao's deliberate intervention, Tang Wulin has avoided many battles, especially the battle with the Light Dragon.
As a result,
Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline didn't awaken prematurely due to the stimulation, allowing it to continue to be suppressed by the seal!
Zhao Tao estimated that this change, compared to his first life, would buy Tang Wulin two extra years!
In other words,
Tang Wulin would need to wait until he was at least twelve, rather than ten as in his first life, to break the first seal of the Golden Dragon King bloodline!
Furthermore,
since he had replaced Tang Wulin, gained Muchen's attention, and even became Muchen's disciple, Tang Wulin would find it difficult to gain the full support of the Blacksmith Association!
This would inevitably affect his collection of spiritual objects, and his progress towards breaking through the bloodline seal would be significantly slowed!
As the saying goes, one step slow, all steps slow!
Due to the delayed integration of the Golden Dragon King bloodline, Tang Wulin's future cultivation, strength, and even forging progress would be affected, and he would likely lose many opportunities!
This, in turn, would limit Tang Wulin's acquisition of more spiritual objects, further hindering the speed at which his bloodline seal would be broken!
This was exactly the outcome Zhao Tao wanted!
After all, as long as he continued to delay Tang Wulin's bloodline awakening,
the power that Tang San's divine consciousness could exert would be lower when it descended in the future, and it would be more conducive to thwarting Tang San's long-term plan!
