Facing Wu Changkong's reprimand, Xu Sheng's dark pupils flickered for a moment, and he stopped his steps that were about to leave…
He said somewhat amusedly, "Oh? Indulging a student? Teacher Wu, isn't that accusation a bit too far-fetched?"
He always felt that Wu Changkong was deliberately picking a quarrel, although he had no idea why the other party was doing so!
Wu Changkong sneered, "Accusation? It seems that Teacher Xu doesn't take the academy's rules seriously at all!"
The next moment, a bone-chilling pressure burst forth from his body, surging violently toward Xu Sheng…
Feeling this terrifying pressure, Tang Wulin's face turned pale in an instant, and he thought to himself, "Is this going to turn into a fight? I have no idea whether Teacher Xu or Teacher Wu is stronger; if they fight, it could become a big problem!"
However, when Xu Sheng saw this, he simply waved his hand, and a pressure no weaker than Wu Changkong's spread from his body, resisting it…
"Bang!"
The two pressures collided in the invisible air, even causing spatial ripples around them…
Tang Wulin couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air, "Hiss, he can actually withstand Teacher Wu's pressure; Teacher Xu is also very strong."
Seeing Xu Sheng easily neutralize his own pressure and even seeming to have the upper hand, Wu Changkong's ice-blue eyes filled with a serious expression…
He thought to himself, "He really is powerful! If what I felt that day is true, without using Battle Armor, I cannot be his match!"
With that thought, his focus intensified…
In an instant, the temperature around them dropped by several tens of degrees, and in his palm, a Personal Sword with a chilling cold aura slowly condensed!
This was his Martial Soul, the Frost Sword!
Not only that, but six Soul Rings also appeared beneath his feet…
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black!
Wu Changkong said with a cold face, "Teacher Xu, if you don't understand, then I'll have to teach you the academy's rules on behalf of the dean!"
Seeing the Martial Soul he released, Xu Sheng's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he curiously thought to himself, "Interesting, not only is his personality very much like my own at that age, even his Martial Soul is of the same type?"
However, his own Ice Rose Sword is a God Level Martial Soul, which is worlds apart from his Martial Soul!
As for fighting him, it is completely unnecessary!
After all, if I accidentally kill him, it would be quite troublesome!
But before Xu Sheng could reply, Tang Wulin, who was watching the battle, bit his teeth and said loudly, "Um, Teacher Wu, Teacher Xu, how about we don't fight?"
Indeed, it was his own fault; otherwise, his two teachers wouldn't be fighting…
At these words, Wu Changkong withdrew his released Martial Soul and turned his icy gaze toward Tang Wulin, saying coldly, "Tang Wulin, I haven't even settled the score with you yet!"
Tang Wulin gave an awkward smile and said, "Teacher Wu, I know it's wrong for me to leave the academy without permission, but there's a reason!"
Wu Changkong's eyes narrowed slightly, "Hmm??"
Tang Wulin scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I... On my first day at the academy, wasn't there that unpleasantness with my roommate? But the academy is simply too greedy, demanding a compensation of thirty thousand federation coins from me."
"I had no choice but to tell Teacher Xu and ask him to accompany me to the Blacksmith Association!"
Xu Sheng immediately covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "Cough, cough, cough…"
He felt kind of offended!
It seemed like it was he who had made the suggestion, but he never imagined Long Hengxu would actually demand Tang Wulin to compensate thirty thousand federation coins!
Wu Changkong just glanced at Xu Sheng, then fixed his gaze back on Tang Wulin and asked, "Even so, what were you doing at the Blacksmith Association?"
Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment before responding, "Earn economic compensation through forging!"
Wasn't that obvious? Why would Teacher Wu ask such a strange question!
Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong's face immediately darkened, and he said in an undeniable tone, "As long as I remain your homeroom teacher, you are not allowed to touch the forging profession. I've paid the thirty thousand federation coins for you!"
Given that Tang Wulin's Martial Soul was the Blue Silver Grass, which had average talent, if he were to be distracted by forging, it would mean giving up on himself completely!
At Wu Changkong's words, Tang Wulin hesitated, "Teacher Wu, this..."
Seeing that he did not take a stance, Wu Changkong spoke again, "Don't you understand what I just said?"
After hesitating for several seconds, Tang Wulin took a deep breath and nodded, "I understand, Teacher Wu!"
Wu Changkong's expression finally softened, "Good! As for today's incident, it's not to happen again. You may go now."
Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief and said resentfully, "Teacher Wu, Teacher Xu, then I'll be leaving now!"
Then, he winked surreptitiously at Xu Sheng a few times before turning to leave...
Only then did Xu Sheng jokingly say, "I didn't expect Teacher Wu to care so much about his students. I thought you were going to punish him!"
Wu Changkong, knowing that he had indeed gone soft, "hmpf" coldly, "The compensation of thirty thousand federation coins was probably someone's brilliant idea, wasn't it?"
Xu Sheng shrugged nonchalantly, "Who knows? If Teacher Wu has nothing else, I'll be taking my leave too!"
After saying this, he turned to leave, leaving Wu Changkong with his back...
But Wu Changkong frowned and called out, "Wait a moment!"
The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth lifted into an arc as he chuckled lightly, "What now? Is Teacher Wu prepared to apologize for earlier and then give me some compensation for emotional distress?"
Wu Changkong ignored the joking tone, speaking very seriously, "Your teaching methods are outdated. If you have any self-awareness, resign from the position as homeroom teacher of Class One!"
Wu Changkong had seen much of Xu Sheng's guidance to Class One—it was utterly ineffective!
Although they were not his students, he did not want to see them held back because of the former!
Xu Sheng simply pursed his lips without denying his words...
He spoke in a calm tone, "The matters of Class One need not concern Teacher Wu. You should worry about how Class Five is going to move up from being the last in rank!"
Having said that, he did not linger any longer and left the place...
Meanwhile, Wu Changkong's gaze remained fixedly on the departing Xu Sheng, his voice cold, "Class Five... will take over the position of Class One in the promotion tournament!"
He had that kind of confidence in his students!
...
Elsewhere, having returned to the dormitory, Tang Wulin started to breathe heavily and murmured in relief, "Phew... That scared me to death."
He did not even realize where he got the confidence to speak up and stop Wu Changkong and Xu Sheng from fighting!
Now that he thought back on the situation, his whole body couldn't help but shiver!
But...
Teacher Xu had been able to face Wu Changkong, who had released his Martial Soul, without changing expression—how strong must he be?
After all, the latter was a genuine Six-ringed Soul Emperor!
