Chapter 63

Teaching Director Long Hengxu, simultaneously with the competition's end, walked to the side of the arena and said to the six students preparing to leave: "Don't leave yet, stay a moment."

As his words fell, Long Hengxu stood at the center of the stage and announced to the surrounding students and teachers watching the match:

"Given that this year's freshmen are the strongest in history, some students possess strength far surpassing their peers. To avoid wasting their talent, the Academy will establish a special class — Class Zero — to cultivate them with all its might."

"The current candidates are the following: Huo Yuhao, Gu Yue Na... Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan."

"But this doesn't mean other students lack such an opportunity; as long as you work hard to improve yourselves, you can similarly join Class Zero..."

Afterwards came a large section of inspirational platitudes, causing many students to reveal looks of yearning.

Finishing the platitudes, Long Hengxu glanced in the direction of Xie Xie, Huo Yuhao, and Gu Yue Na, nodded to the three, and led the six people behind him toward the Principal's Office.

"Let's go too."

Huo Yuhao said to Gu Yue Na, and to Xie Xie who was spacing out to the side.

"Ah? Oh, okay!"

Xie Xie snapped back to his senses, caught up with Huo Yuhao and the other, his mind still on the moment just now when Tang Wulin erupted, a strange aura appearing on his body...

At that moment, he wasn't Tang Wulin's target, but he still felt uncomfortable all over.

No wonder he got that bracelet; that kid Wu Lin has secrets.

In the spacious Principal's Office, Yu Zhen looked at the seven people before him with a beaming smile.

Wei Xiaofeng had told Long Hengxu midway that Luo Yanglu had talked to him about Class Zero, and he had already refused.

So only seven people came here.

Just having two Spirit Pagoda geniuses is a huge gain; didn't expect there to be so many outstanding students.

Yu Zhen's gaze swept over everyone.

Huo Yuhao, Gu Yue Na, Xu Xiaoyan, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi...

A full seven people, good, very good!

"On the way you must have already heard Director Long speak; the current issue is whether you are willing to sign the Donghai Academy agreement... Huo Yuhao Student, Gu Yue Na Student, you two don't need to sign."

Speaking halfway, Yu Zhen paused, looking at the two Spirit Pagoda members.

The remaining five also looked at them; the Class One members knew the reason, Tang Wulin knew the two's strength, none found it strange, only Miss Xu Xiaoyan was somewhat curious.

Pulling strings? Or some other reason? Why can they not sign?

Regarding this, Huo Yuhao and the other paid no heed, merely nodding.

The Academy agreement's binding force isn't as strong as imagined; signing it is nothing, because the Spirit Pagoda and Donghai Academy have another agreement.

If Class Zero members are willing to join the Spirit Pagoda, Donghai Academy won't obstruct.

Correspondingly, the Spirit Pagoda will in the future grant Donghai Academy special quotas to help them continue cultivating future enrolled students.

Mm, a bit like harvesting leeks.

Having enjoyed the Spirit Pagoda's resources, those students' post-graduation destinations are probably set.

But, Yu Zhen feels it's not a loss!

This batch of students far surpasses the past; the future may not have so many talents again; with the Spirit Pagoda providing resources, their Academy's probability of producing new geniuses in the future will be very high.

Moreover, as long as they enroll, they have a chance to join the Spirit Pagoda; isn't that a great signboard? If utilized well, their Academy might just rise with the trend.

"Then, are you five willing to join Class Zero? This is the resource treatment given by the Academy and Spirit Pagoda's cooperation, far beyond your imagination!"

Yu Zhen looked at the remaining five people with a solemn expression.

"I'm willing!"

Xie Xie and the other two who knew the news beforehand agreed without the slightest hesitation; Tang Wulin, hearing it involved the Spirit Pagoda, also didn't hesitate.

A Spirit Pagoda Elder would never trap this junior, right?

Only Xu Xiaoyan hadn't reacted yet, her large blue eyes blinking, face showing bewilderment.

'How come none of you are hesitating at all?'

Truthfully, Xu Xiaoyan felt things were developing a bit fast; she hadn't even performed much in the battle just now, so why was she directly pulled over? Just because her soul power is Rank 19?

Moreover, why did everyone sign this agreement without the slightest hesitation? Didn't you all think to discuss with your families?

A hundred thousand whys flashed through Xu Xiaoyan's mind; ultimately facing Yu Zhen's solemn gaze, thinking of her family's reminder, she still nodded.

"I'm willing!"

Yu Zhen satisfactorily withdrew his gaze, expression still solemn, "Establishing Class Zero is to not delay your prospects. However, you must not be overly complacent; in the entire Federation, talents more outstanding than you are a dime a dozen!"

Xie Xie and the other two looked in unison at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na, faces strange.

More outstanding than these two? You're serious? What kind of gods are they?

Please do tell us!

Yu Zhen, seeing this scene: "..."

Forgot, spoke out of habit; in the whole Federation, are there any who can compare to these two?

He doesn't know either...

"Cough, cough." Embarrassed, he gave two light coughs; Yu Zhen no longer feigned solemnity, simply revealing a kindly smile, "In short, for a genius to truly become a pillar of talent, they must put in effort far exceeding ordinary people. Only then can they live up to their innate talent."

"The Academy can only provide resources; the essence still depends on you yourselves! Understood?"

"Understood!"

Class Zero was formally established; the crowd of students began moving, transferring to the Single Dormitory.

On the way to the Single Dormitory, Xu Xiaoyan looked around among the crowd of classmates, greeted Tang Wulin who was whispering with Xie Xie in a friendly manner, then found Gu Yue Na, "Classmate Gu Yue Na, I'll live next to you."

Although Tang Wulin was her classmate and their relationship was decent, the other party was ultimately a boy; among the seven, girls were only her and Gu Yue Na, so she wanted to get closer to the other.

First find a topic to chat about.

Gu Yue Na looked at her somewhat surprisedly, but still nodded, "Of course, just choose Room 203."

Xu Xiaoyan was stunned, realizing something, "You originally lived over there, right?"

"Mm, Yuhao and I both did."

"......"

So that's how it is, Gu Yue Na Student and that Huo Yuhao Student are the preselected choices of Class Zero.

Xu Xiaoyan suddenly understood, thoughtfully looking towards Huo Yuhao not far away, and started finding various topics to chat with Gu Yue Na.

Mainly she was the one speaking, Gu Yue Na was the one listening.

Xu Xiaoyan: "......"

The only female comrade is this kind of personality, afterwards it feels somewhat sad.

Xu Xiaoyan secretly sighed.

The Academy gave Class Zero half a day to rest, letting them move their daily necessities, familiarize themselves with the environment, get to know each other, and only start classes the next day, but in the evening, Luo Yanglu and Wu Zhangkong arrived early, gathering everyone on the first floor.

"Hello everyone, I am Luo Yanglu, the teacher previously responsible for Class One, afterwards I will be responsible for your cultural classes and taking you to the Spirit Pagoda to study."

Luo Yanglu introduced himself, looking towards Wu Zhangkong beside him whose whole body emitted coldness.

"Teacher Wu, you say a few words too."

Wu Zhangkong stepped forward, his expression ice-cold.

"I am Wu Zhangkong, your Combat Teacher. Three of you, I already know your strength. But the other four, I am not clear!"
