Chapter 37: Class Promotion Tournament

The Class Promotion Tournament is a tradition of Donghai Academy, where weaker classes challenge stronger ones, and victory allows them to take the opponent's place.

Just as the school term began, other classes were already preparing for the Class Promotion Tournament, but Class One's students weren't worried at all.

A joke — even if some talents went to other classes for various reasons, can you beat Soul Elder Wei Xiaofeng?

Even if you succeed, Gu Yue Na and Huo Yuhao Student can teach you how to behave!

Our class can't be the only one to feel the shock from them!

With this mood, while other classes were tensely conducting practical combat training, Class One's students had a very relaxed mindset.

However, as a teacher, Luo Yanglu still had to be responsible.

On the training ground, Luo Yanglu took out a box and retrieved a wristband from it.

"This kind of wristband is a portable Soul Tool that can test physical fitness; you wear it on your body, and it can give real-time feedback on your status and quantified physical fitness — if your physical fitness rises, the numbers will also increase."

Luo Yanglu smiled and said: "Physical quality is still very important at your stage; every bit of strengthening helps, and later your options for choosing a Spirit Soul will also increase. Moreover, professions like Mecha Master have quite high requirements for physical quality."

"But training and cultivation are ultimately your own affair; this teacher is just a guide, and class time is limited, so you must rely on your own initiative."

"I think, being able to clearly watch yourselves grow stronger step by step, you won't slack off too much, right?"

The crowd of students put on the wristbands with surprise and delight. Xie Xie looked at the quantified physical fitness numbers above, secretly moved in his heart.

Is this the treatment Class One gets?

This kind of Soul Tool doesn't even exist on the market; he previously felt coming here to study wasn't good, but now he didn't think so anymore.

"However, pay attention — your bodies are still developing; don't force training. That Soul Tool has an alarm function; once triggered, it means you're about to reach a critical point, so stop immediately, don't injure your bodies."

"Yes!"

After finishing the precautions, Luo Yanglu began distributing these Soul Tools.

Gu Yue Na received the Soul Tool, inexplicably feeling it looked somewhat familiar, and subconsciously looked toward Huo Yuhao's wrist — sure enough, she saw the other party already had one.

Could it be that this one was invented by this person?

Thinking this, Gu Yue Na put it on, and saw the numbers soar all the way, quickly reaching four digits.

"..."

She was ultimately the Dragon King; even if her cultivation was low now, her physical fitness and physical quality couldn't possibly be lacking.

At this moment, Gu Yue Na perceived a gradually familiar mental fluctuation, skillfully connected, and heard a reminder from Huo Yuhao.

"Press the button at the bottom left, enter password 3946, you can adjust the numbers yourself; a normal Soul Elder's physical fitness is around two hundred."

As expected, it was invented by this person.

Gu Yue Na breathed a sigh of relief and did as told, setting it to normal numbers.

On Huo Yuhao's side, receiving the brand-new physical fitness testing Soul Tool, he glanced at the numbers that similarly ran to four digits, and directly put it away.

This Soul Tool is only used for early transition; once a certain value is reached, physical quality isn't something ordinary training can improve.

He manufactured this Soul Tool only because he gained some inspiration while researching artificial Spirit Soul bloodline extraction technology, and made it along the way.

After finishing the Soul Tool matter, Luo Yanglu taught everyone a brand-new meditation method — the Soul Spirit Symbiosis Meditation Method.

"This is a meditation method researched by the Spirit Pagoda; during cultivation you summon your Spirit Soul, and through the Spirit Soul Contract establish a special circuit between both parties, achieving a two-way energy circulation, letting the Spirit Soul help you circulate the Zhou Tian; the more compatible the Spirit Soul is with you, the faster the cultivation speed."

Looking at the students below with bright eyes, especially Student Wei Xiaofeng whose martial soul and Spirit Soul are the same, Luo Yanglu's mouth corners curved up slightly, "Of course, what I'm teaching you is a simplified version; the effect isn't that good."

Everyone's faces instantly fell.

Xie Xie, however, said thoughtfully: "Teacher, you wouldn't happen to be from the Spirit Pagoda, would you?"

First Soul Tools, now the Spirit Pagoda's characteristic meditation method — however you look at it, you don't seem like an ordinary person.

Luo Yanglu smiled and didn't answer, which also counted as tacit acknowledgment.

Next, he had everyone try this meditation method, and called Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na to his side.

"Your meditation methods both come from Limit Douluo; they're all top-tier meditation methods, so there's no need to consider this kind of meditation method."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

He didn't use the meditation method Hua Yichen applied for.

He uses a self-created meditation method, combining ten thousand years ago's experience and magic-style meditation techniques, which can increase spiritual power and Ultimate Ice cultivation speed; plus Gu Yue Na's bloodline influence, the Ultimate Ice debuff at levels 30-70 has already been completely resolved.

Gu Yue Na: "..."

She uses a self-created Elemental Meditation Method.

She didn't use the meditation method Teacher Leng gave either.

Not knowing the two people before him were cheating, Luo Yanglu thought for a moment and asked:

"Student Gu Yue Na, does Her Excellency Tian Feng's guidance lean toward cultivation or practical combat?"

"Cultivation."

"Then have you been to the Virtual Battlefield?"

"?"

Gu Yue Na looked at Luo Yanglu in confusion.

Seeing this, Luo Yanglu had a bottom line in his heart.

"Yuhao, you spar with Gu Yue Na — just touch and stop; I want to confirm some things."

Her Excellency Tian Feng entrusted her disciple to their branch for care; they can't delay her.

Moreover, from what Yi Chen said, although there was initially some unpleasantness, Yuhao and Gu Yue Na get along well now; take more care of Gu Yue Na, and later when Yuhao goes to Headquarters, she should be willing to help out a bit.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yue Na, and the latter also looked over, her eyes flashing slightly.

The same thought flashed through both their minds: when exchanging moves with this person, how much strength is appropriate?

Being serious is impossible; they can only throw a fixed match to maintain their livelihood.

As the training ground provided for Class One, the venue is very large; even if all students conduct practical combat training together, it doesn't appear cramped.

But when Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na stood in the center, the other students put down what they were doing one after another and came forward to watch.

They were very interested in just how strong these two geniuses who exceeded the norm were.

Seeing this, Luo Yanglu did not stop them; he merely looked at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na, who were ten meters apart, took out a notebook and pen, and shouted: "Begin!"

Gu Yue Na made the first move; two yellow soul rings lit up beside her. In an instant, ripples rose in the air, wind blades instantly condensed into form, completely sealing off Huo Yuhao from all directions, and seven or eight streams of qi blades whistled forth from tricky angles.

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly; three purple soul rings appeared beside him, causing exclamations of surprise from some classmates.

"Thousand-year soul rings?" Xie Xie felt the oppressive pressure coming from the soul rings, clicked his tongue, and also felt a sense of it being only natural.

For a Soul Elder of this age, it would be strange if he did not have thousand-year soul rings.

At the moment the wind blades neared him, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up with a faint light; Spiritual Detection activated, and combined with the Silver Dragon King Bloodline's elemental perception and his own experience, he instantly perceived the cores of all the wind blades, and with a thought—

Crack!

In an instant, all the wind blades shattered, completely dissolving into airflow and disappearing.

Gu Yue Na's brows furrowed slightly; a green light suddenly rose over her body, and her speed instantly rose to a new height. At the same time, her hands waved rapidly, clusters of scorching fireballs and sharp ice cones swept toward Huo Yuhao's direction like a violent storm, yet all returned without success.

"How many attributes has she used?" Xie Xie watched with his eyebrows jumping wildly, "How can her martial soul control so many elements?"

"But none of them work."

Beside Xie Xie, Wei Xiaofeng's roommate — Zhang Yangzi — shook his head, his face showing amazement, "Classmate Yuhao resolved it effortlessly."

Effortlessly?

Luo Yanglu secretly shook his head.

That is not easy in the slightest.

Elemental attacks are also controlled using spiritual power; any elemental attack entering within three meters of Huo Yuhao would have its core's weakest point disturbed by his intangible spiritual power, thereby disrupting Gu Yue Na's control and causing it to collapse.

This requires a realm of spiritual control that is exquisite to the utmost degree; among the spiritual-attribute Soul Masters Luo Yanglu knows, only Hua Yichen can achieve this!
