The next day, as Xu Sheng stepped out of his classroom dormitory, he was met with all kinds of peculiar gazes from the bustling intermediate students...
He could faintly make out that they were discussing something...
"Did you hear? The homeroom teacher of class one yesterday, that Teacher Xu, actually came to blows with the strongest Teacher Wu of East Sea Academy!"
"Hiss! Who did you hear that from? Teacher Wu's strength is the strongest in East Sea Academy, Teacher Xu probably isn't a match, right?"
"I don't care, Teacher Xu is my new male god, he definitely won't lose! Teacher Wu is already past his prime!"
"You're right, Teacher Xu is my true love, I've defected!!"
After hearing these comments, Xu Sheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Hmm? Word about yesterday's incident got out?"
Probably last night, there must have been students or teachers spying and they spread the word about his standoff with Wu Changkong...
And by the time the story reached other students, it had turned into them having a fight...
In response, Xu Sheng just gave those students a glance and walked into classroom one of the first grade with an unchanged expression...
As he stood on the podium, the whole noisy classroom fell silent...
Every student from class one stared at the newly arrived Xu Sheng with a mix of curiosity and astonishment...
Xu Sheng smiled and said, "What's wrong? Why is everyone so quiet today?"
Upon hearing this, the students, who couldn't hold back any longer, bombarded him with questions...
"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu, we heard that you and class five's homeroom teacher, Wu Changkong, fought yesterday, who won and who lost?"
"Yeah, yeah! We came one or two hours early just for this tiny answer!"
"I bet it was definitely Teacher Xu, after all, Teacher Xu had said that if he and Teacher Wu were to fight, it would be a grandson-grandfather relationship!"
"What are you talking about! It's nine-one, nine-one!"
"I don't care, Teacher Xu definitely won!"
Xu Sheng's dark eyes narrowed, and he calmly said, "So that's what this is about. Let me clarify then, Teacher Wu and I didn't fight, you can put away your little schemes now!"
Hearing this response, the faces of the students in class one were filled with disappointment...
They had hoped that if Xu Sheng had beaten Wu Changkong, then their class would be taught by the strongest teacher in East Sea Academy!
Seeing their spirits fall, Xu Sheng added unhurriedly, "Of course, if we did come to blows, Teacher Wu, he would die!"
As he spoke, he even flashed an innocuous smile...
This heart-stopping scene made the students tremble...
Just a moment ago, he seemed so amiable that you wanted to get close to him, but in the blink of an eye, he had the word "die" on his lips...
This Teacher Xu was indeed fickle!
But it did lift their previously dampened spirits somewhat...
Little did they know, the next sentence Xu Sheng said caused everyone's face to sour...
"Alright, now that I've answered your questions, gather on the square immediately! It's time to run laps!"
...
Meanwhile, in class five...
One student sitting by the window burst out laughing, "Man, the homeroom teacher of class one is such an oddball, making all the students run laps on the square again!"
"Our Teacher Wu is much better! We're Soul Masters, naturally we need to focus on cultivating our Martial Souls. Running more is still useless – except for bulking up!"
"Tsk, looks like in the upcoming class promotion tournament, class one is about to be overtaken by class two!"
Wu Changkong, who stood on the podium, his features turned instantly stern upon hearing these remarks...
"Who says it's useless? Whether it's for a Soul Master, a Battle Armor Master, a Forging Master, or any other profession, having strong physical fitness is also essential!"
Although he had said Teacher Xu's teachings were useless, he had never doubted that physical exercise was important!
Xie Xie whispered a complaint, "Hey, Teacher Wu clearly said himself that the instruction from the class head was useless!"
Yun Xiao chimed in as well, "Exactly, exactly! I heard it with my own ears!"
Tang Wulin coughed as a reminder, "Do you guys have a death wish? If Teacher Wu hears you later, we'll be done for!"
Xie Xie said disdainfully, "Look at you, being such a coward, Teacher Wu isn't even..."
But before he could finish, Wu Changkong's icy voice rang out...
"Tang Wulin, Yun Xiao, Xie Xie, what were you just talking about? Why not share it with the whole class?"
They immediately stood up from their seats...
Visibly, Xie Xie gave a smile that was more uncomfortable than crying and braced himself, "Wu... Teacher Wu, we were just saying that you're right, no matter what, having good physical fitness is important!"
Tang Wulin, feeling guilty, echoed, "Yeah, yeah! Exactly right!"
Yun Xiao, feeling ashamed, bowed his head and dared not speak...
Wu Changkong scoffed, "Is that so? It seems you also think physical fitness is very important, eh!"
These guys, did they really think he hadn't heard anything?
At this moment, a bad premonition emerged in the hearts of all the students in the class, including Tang Wulin, Yun Xiao, and Xie Xie...
They had a feeling that whatever was coming next would be unforgettable!
...
On the East Sea Academy square, Wu Changkong looked at the students from class five and barked, "Everyone, run twenty-five laps around here! As for Xie Xie, Yun Xiao, and Tang Wulin, you three think you're right, don't you? Then double it, fifty laps for each of you!"
As representatives in the class promotion competition, this was a form of special training!
Tang Wulin said with a pained expression, "Ah?? Teacher Wu, isn't this a bit too much?"
If only he'd gotten Xie Xie and the others to stop talking earlier, now they were all going to suffer!
Xie Xie, gritting his teeth, said, "Teacher Wu, fifty laps... how is that possible? Our legs would break before we finished!"
"Teacher, I'm not participating in the class promotion competition, does that mean..."
Wu Changkong didn't give them a chance to argue, barking coldly, "Anyone who says another word will run an extra five laps!"
This utterly inhumane declaration silenced Tang Wulin and the others, who immediately started running...
And this scene was clearly observed by the students from class one...
They stifled their laughter, "Hahaha! That's hilarious! Never thought that class five was in the same boat as us!"
"This feels great, I feel lighter just like that!"
"I thought only Teacher Xu's training was the most brutal, but I didn't expect Teacher Wu of class five to be just as merciless!"
"Damn! If we're doing the same training as class five, why should we be happy? Isn't that a blatant insult??"
"Hmph! Whatever time they run, we will run longer! Class one is not something they can compare to!"
Thinking this, the students from class one ran even harder...
Immediately, the gazes of the two classes' headteachers met...
