"Enough!"
Teacher Zhou suddenly bellowed, silencing the whispering crowd.
Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and the rest of the class members obediently shut their mouths and didn't dare to speak, looking at Teacher Zhou.
"Soul Masters are after all Soul Masters, they rely on external objects to enhance their cultivation level, they rely on external objects in battle. Without these external objects, they are nothing."
"What are you all afraid of?"
Teacher Zhou looked at her students and said in a deep voice.
She had to rebuild their confidence.
Her actions were quite effective.
"Teacher Zhou, I think your statement is somewhat biased, isn't it?"
Suddenly, Qin Xiao's deep voice interrupted Teacher Zhou's speech.
In his heart, he had already developed some dissatisfaction with Teacher Zhou.
Constantly belittling Soul Masters and elevating her own side, was that really okay?
People with such skewed views, can they really be qualified teachers?
This kid, is he trying to challenge me?
Teacher Zhou turned her head coldly, looking at Qin Xiao. She felt her authority was being challenged.
"I say it this way, and you disagree?"
"Why should I agree?" Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, "The 'external objects' you speak of don't just come with the wind. Soul Masters also put in their effort to obtain them, isn't this process also a form of cultivation?"
This...
After listening to Qin Xiao's words, Teacher Zhou's gaze suddenly sharpened.
Qin Xiao's words did have some truth to them.
But.
Could she admit it?
She absolutely couldn't admit it!
"I don't care what you've experienced; right now, I just want to prove that what I said is correct."
As she spoke, it was as though flames were burning in Teacher Zhou's eyes. She looked at Qin Xiao and asked gravely, "Do you dare to accept a challenge?"
The question of whether he dared to accept a challenge caused everyone to catch their breath.
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, "You want to challenge me?"
If that was really the case, this old woman was truly shameless.
He remembered this woman was at the Soul Emperor level, and he was only a Soul Ancestor.
Of course.
If they were to really fight, Qin Xiao wasn't the least bit afraid.
He was fully confident he could handle Teacher Zhou.
"You want to fight me? You're not qualified."
Teacher Zhou shook her head disdainfully and continued, "The one who will fight you is him."
As she spoke, she pointed at Wang Dong.
Qin Xiao's face showed surprise, "Him?"
"Yes, him," Teacher Zhou confirmed with certainty.
"Teacher Zhou, I... I can't do it."
Wang Dong was proud, but not blindly confident.
He was very clear about his own strengths; although he had exceptional talent and twin martial souls, he wasn't arrogant enough to fight Qin Xiao.
In other words, if his opponent wasn't Qin Xiao but an ordinary Soul Ancestor, he might be willing to try.
And Qin Xiao had been a reserve team member of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Master Academy Team, which proved his extraordinariness.
Far from what an ordinary Soul Ancestor could compare with.
Seeing that Wang Dong was already thinking of retreating without even starting the fight with Qin Xiao, Teacher Zhou frowned.
In her heart, she couldn't help but curse, what a coward without guts.
However.
If Wang Dong knew her thoughts, he would be greatly shocked and couldn't help exclaiming, "How did you know?"
"What are you afraid of? Now that he has come to our Shrek Academy, he must follow the rules of our academy..."
As Teacher Zhou spoke, she looked at Qin Xiao, "The Shrek Martial Soul Department has a rule that when the students spar, they are not allowed to use soul tools. Since you chose to study in the Martial Soul Department, you should also abide by this rule, right?"
She seemed to be asking, but she was actually placing shackles on Qin Xiao.
In her view, a Soul Master is just a Soul Master, worthless without their soul tools.
As long as Qin Xiao dares not to use soul tools, he could not possibly be Wang Dong's opponent; there's no difference between level 40 and level 30.
Heh, you think you can outsmart me?
But you might not know that in the face of absolute strength, any scheme or plot is utterly useless.
Qin Xiao's heart remained undisturbed; he even felt like laughing.
He saw through Teacher Zhou's thoughts and intentions.
But was he afraid?
Of course, the answer was no.
As a Divine King level powerhouse, his understanding of the Martial Soul was unparalleled.
Even without soul tools, he could easily fight across levels.
Not to mention, Wang Dong's cultivation level was even lower than his—it was nothing but a complete mismatch.
"A Soul Master isn't allowed to use soul tools? Isn't that unreasonable? It's unfair, completely unfair."
Meng Hongchen, fuming, stood up to these excessive demands by Teacher Zhou.
With hands on her hips, she loudly questioned Teacher Zhou.
Teacher Zhou frowned at Meng Hongchen and said sharply, "Young girl, mind your tone when talking to a teacher."
However.
Her imposing manner couldn't scare Meng Hongchen in the slightest.
Meng Hongchen replied defiantly, "You, qualify to be my teacher?"
At that moment, she no longer saw Teacher Zhou as a teacher at all but as an unreasonable old woman.
"You..." Teacher Zhou's expression suddenly changed, and as she pointed at Meng Hongchen, she was about to utter some harsh and malicious words. At that moment, Qin Xiao stepped forward, standing in front of Meng Hongchen.
"So, it's just a fight with your student without using soul tools? I accept."
Qin Xiao appeared very calm.
There was no need for a war of words; he intended to prove himself through his actions.
Moreover, he was keen to experience Princess Tang's renowned skills.
"Ancestor..."
Meng Hongchen, from behind Qin Xiao, called out in some distress.
"It's okay, don't worry. They can't hurt me."
