Bab 51: Chapter 51: Gu Yue
Cen Yue smiled and said, "Soul communicators are gifted to new members of the association. Since every blacksmith has one, you can consider it one of the benefits of joining the association. As for this ring, the President wanted me to give it to you two. He said that it's just a temporary loan. It has a space of ten cubic meters, so it'll be convenient for when you two hand in your work. How else could you both carry around all the metal required for the tasks?"
Xiu Ye shook his head, "Sorry senior, but I already have a storage ring. See." He pulled the ring attached to his necklace out of his shirt, showing it to both Cen Yue and Tang Wulin.
Cen Yue's smile slightly became stiff and turned towards Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin nodded hastily, saying that he doesn't have any and would like to receive them. After all, it's not everyday someone would give you a free soul communicator and storage ring. He'd been always envious of his cousin of him having such expensive items.
Xiu Ye bowed towards Cen Yue and said, "Thank you grandmaster Cen Yue, and the president as well."
Cen Yue rubbed his head and smiled, "Oh it's nothing, I might not be your teacher but I have a duty to help young lads like you two, walking this path of mine and the president, grow into splendid experts."
Xiu Ye and Tang Wulin both smiled and said their goodbyes to the grandmaster, both heading back to the academy.
.....
Tomorrow morning.
Xiu Ye returned his breakfast tray back and walked out of the cafeteria, feeling bored as usual but was also feeling happy as he was just one step closer to defeating Ryūjin Jakka. Last night, and as always, he had initiated Soul God Cultivation Method and there he battled against the fire soul being without dying and almost thrusting his blade through his body.
From his estimation, if he were to achieve Soul Elder and get his third soul ring, he was certain that he would finally win against the bastard.
It was just a matter of time.
As Xiu Ye walked through the hallways of the school, he notices something outside of the window.
It was a group of more than thirty students running around the track field wearing heavy metal shirts, almost all of them had their uniforms wet from all of their sweat dripping down from the extensive exercise they've all been doing for the past hour.
As Xiu Ye observed them, he didn't know why, but he had a feeling that he should be down there for some reason.
Like if he didn't, he would miss something very important to him forever.
Xiu Ye walked down the hallways and out towards the large track field around the intermediate school division, it was a 800 meters long loop.
He watched as students of class five run around the entire track, sweat soaking their clothes.
"What are you doing here?" Xiu Ye turned his head around to see Wu Zhangkong, still wearing his entire white colored clothes and cold facial expression. But in his eyes as he stared at the boy, was both curiosity and respect.
After an entire night of thinking it over, it was impossible for a nine year old boy like him to accumulate so much killing intent and had fine control of it without killing a lot of people. The next possiblity for Xiu Ye to have such killing intent, is if he was born with it, it wasn't a rare case for a child to be born with killing intent after all, and he had used all his childhood years to practice controlling such malicious phenomenon.
Truly, this boy is a genius!
Xiu Ye stared at the handsome cold man in front of him before glancing up him, there, a ghost was hovering above him with her arms resting on his head. She had clearly seen him glance at her, as she widened her eyes but then he ignored at that moment.
Xiu Ye shrugged and said, "Oh, I was just curious to see what was going on. I see that you've started to train their physical bodies, good, no matter if one is a utility type soul master or battle type soul master, if one doesn't have a strong body to handle fights and requirements to getting stronger then they would simply be cannon fodders."
Wu Zhangkong nodded, "Very true, even those who follow the path of the spiritual type soul master would try to have a strong body to handle a high level spirit soul and soul ring for them to absorb and use. These kids here are young, so training them right now could be beneficial for them."
"Hm, true. Though I think you should have brought more heavier equipment." Xiu Ye pointed towards Tang Wulin, running around the track with a relaxed expression, as if he was just taking a stroll instead of running around a long loop track. His pace was steady like an army's match, but fast, he had already done eight laps by now when the others was at most at five laps.
This didn't surprised Xiu Ye at all, dismissing the OPness of the Golden Dragon King bloodline giving Tang Wulin a much better and powerful physique than anyone of his peers, he had trained the boy for three years. Having him run around a long track, except replace it with a street, with heavy pressure bearing down on him was done at the first week of his training and Xiu Ye would slowly add more weight after Tang Wulin gets accustomed to the previous weight. This was done to prevent a stunt of height on him, he's sure that the latter would hold a grudge on him if he had made his height small because of him.
Wu Zhangkong merely nodded, "How much weight can he handle?"
"Without causing him a stunt to his height? 100kg." Xiu Ye said with a smile as Wu Zhangkong turned towards him with surprised widened eyes, even the ghost on his head was surprised.
100 kilograms! That was almost as heavy as a motorcycle. Could Tang Wulin really handle that sort of weight?
Wu Zhangkong's eyes narrowed into a serious frosty glare, staring straight at Xiu Ye's calm eyes. He didn't want any of his students to suffer a permanent injury.
"Are you sure?"
Xiu Ye said with a serious expression and voice, "Yes, I am pretty sure. That was what I last checked when I saw him train back at our hometown."
Wu Zhangkong's eyebrows twitched for a millisecond that most people wouldn't notice. "He trained? All by himself?"
Xiu Ye shrugged, "I helped him once in a while and he would go to our former teacher for help, that's all I know." He noticed the momentary twitched alright.
Wu Zhangkong nodded and called out, "Tang Wulin, come here."
Tang Wulin then headed towards him with the same pace and stopped in front of Wu Zhangkong and Xiu Ye. "Yes teacher Wu? Oh and good morning Ye."
Xiu Ye nodded in reply.
Wu Zhangkong raised his right hand up and nine stacks of metal shirts, the same one that Tang Wulin was wearing, appeared in his hand from his white jade colored storage ring.
He handed them to Tang Wulin and simply said, "Wear this and run an extra of ten laps."
Tang Wulin blinked and nodded his head. He accepted the stacks of metal shirts into his arms and started wearing them without complaint, like he was a disciplined soldier.
Which he was, as Xiu Ye had trained the boy military style for the last couple of years.
After wearing them, Tang Wulin wordlessly nodded towards Wu Zhangkong and Xiu Ye ran back towards the track field, slight cracks appeared on the ground every step he takes.
At that moment, a girl walked through the gates that lead to the field from the direction of the academy buildings.
She was dressed in white and was the same age as the students in the first grade's class five. Although she wasn't particularly beautiful, she was still a bit delicate and pretty. With long black hair and black eyes, her build was about average among her peers. She was still very well proportioned, and her pair of bright eyes were full of life.
As she walked forwards, her steps seemed to have a special rhythm to them, and her aura had an exotic feel to it.
Wu Zhangkong's gaze soon landed on her as she wasn't wearing a school uniform. She had come while class was still in session.
"What class are you in?" Wu Zhangkong asked as he walked over.
The girl's attention seemed to have been attracted by something else, her eyes stared straight towards Xiu Ye's widened eyes. She didn't reply to Wu Zhangkong for a brief moment, as she seem to have taken an interest to Xiu Ye.
Xiu Ye shared the same sentiment, as he stared at her with wide eyes and open mouth.
'She...'
"I'm here to attend school. However, I was told that the registration period has already passed." She said as she looked away from Xiu Ye and turned towards Wu Zhangkong.
Wu Zhangkong's expression soured. "You're not an Eastsea Academy student?"
The girl said, "I'm not a student at the moment, but I still want to be a student here. Is that possible, teacher?"
If it were any other teacher, they might have immediately driven her away. However, was Wu Zhangkong just any other teacher? No!
"This is a Soul Master's academy. If you want to attend here, then you must have the ability," Wu Zhangkong coldly said.
"I can take a test." The girl smiled.
Wu Zhangkong asked, "What's your name?"
The girl answered, "My name is Gu Yue."
