Upon hearing that the academy was going to train them to challenge Shrek Academy, even someone as oblivious as Tang Wulin couldn't help but gasp.
Tang Wulin had already learned from others what a sacred and revered Shrek Academy was.
However, Tang Wulin also knew that his martial soul was weak and did not meet Shrek Academy's requirements at all, so he never hoped that he could become Shrek Academy's student.
Hearing that the school was going to train him and others to challenge Shrek Academy, Tang Wulin felt like he was dreaming, and his heart started pounding wildly.
"Wu Lin, am I dreaming?" Xie Xie slapped his face hard, trying to prove that he wasn't dreaming.
"That's right, the school is designed to train you to compete with Shrek Academy."
Even the usually aloof Wu Changkong was somewhat moved when Shrek Academy was mentioned.
Even though Wu Changkong had left Shrek Academy many years ago, he was still a part of Shrek Academy in his heart.
“Okay, I’ll sign it.” Su Mo agreed readily.
She was originally racking her brains about how to approach Tang Wulin in a reasonable way and without arousing suspicion.
Just as he was dozing off, Yu Zhen handed him a pillow, which was exactly what he wanted.
Su Mo readily signed his name on the agreement.
Yu Zhen visibly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Su Mo sign his name on the agreement.
For Yu Zhen, the most important candidate for Class Zero is Su Mo, followed by Gu Yue, and then Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi.
As for Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, they were just incidental.
Of course, if Tang Wulin and the others hadn't shown enough potential in the promotion tournament, Yu Zhen wouldn't have let them join Class Zero either.
"Nothing, I'll leave first."
After signing his name, Su Mo was about to run away when he was stopped by a blue figure.
Seeing Wu Changkong stop him, Su Mo asked dismissively, "Is there something you need, Teacher Wu?"
"Su Mo, um..."
Before Yu Zhen could explain, Wu Changkong preemptively said, "Su Mo, from today onwards, I will be your homeroom teacher."
I don't care how much trouble you caused in the past, but now that you're my student, you have to follow my instructions.
"From now on, you are not allowed to skip class without my permission."
“Teacher Wu…” Looking at Wu Changkong, who was arguing with Su Mo, Yu Zhen was about to say a few words in Su Mo’s defense.
Su Mo retorted without hesitation, "Then we'll have to see if your teaching is wasting my life."
"can!"
Faced with Su Mo's questioning, Wu Changkong nodded as if he had expected it.
There weren't many students on the playground of Donghai Academy because it was during class time.
"Today we'll start with a practical lesson. I'll then reduce my soul power to the same level as yours, but I won't use my martial soul or soul skills."
Although they knew that Wu Changkong's words were specifically meant for Su Mo, Tang Wulin and the others were still in an uproar after hearing them.
Even Gu Yue frowned in displeasure, thinking that Wu Changkong was being too presumptuous.
If two people of equal cultivation levels don't use their martial souls or soul skills, who are they looking down on?
Seeing the crowd stirring, Wu Changkong nodded in satisfaction; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
"Which of you comes first?"
Standing in the center of the playground, Wu Changkong glanced arrogantly at Su Mo and then said calmly.
"I!"
Just as Su Mo was about to accept the challenge, Tang Wulin preemptively raised his hand.

Chapter 9 Battle Against Wu Changkong
Wu Zhangkong: "..."
Wu Changkong was surprised that Tang Wulin would be the first to step forward, but he nodded in agreement in the end.
"Gu Yue, Xie Xie, you two come at us too!"
To help everyone present better understand their shortcomings, Wu Changkong decided to have Gu Yue and Xie Xie join in as well.
"Teacher Wu, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Upon hearing Wu Changkong ask him and Gu Yue to join in, Xie Xie immediately began to rub his hands together in anticipation.
Although Gu Yue didn't say anything, her body unconsciously took a step forward.
After the three of them took their positions, Wu Changkong took out an extremely ordinary pointer, flicked it sharply, and said coldly, "Then let's begin!"
No sooner had Wu Changkong finished speaking than Tang Wulin and his two companions took the initiative.
Even though the three of them had mastered the art of teamwork, Wu Changkong was able to handle any of their attacks with ease.
No matter how Tang Wulin and the other two resisted Wu Changkong's attack, they would be whipped hard.
"Ah~ Ah~ Ah!!!"
For a moment, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie's screams could be heard everywhere.
Of the three, Gu Yue is the best.
Because she was a girl, Wu Changkong always kept his advances to a minimum.
They did not treat Gu Yue the same way they treated Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.
"Do you now understand where your weaknesses lie?"
Looking at Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, whose faces were swollen like pigs, and Gu Yue, whose face was pale and whose forehead was dripping with sweat, Wu Changkong asked with a serious expression.
"Uh-huh"
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice, afraid that if they were even a second too slow, they would be mercilessly whipped by Wu Changkong.
If Tang Wulin had known it would turn out this way, he would never have been the first to step forward.
"You three should get some rest first!"
After calming Tang Wulin and the others down, Wu Changkong turned his attention to Su Mo, "Are the three of you coming at me together, or...?"
Faced with Wu Changkong's scrutinizing gaze, and remembering the miserable state Tang Wulin and the others had just suffered, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi were so frightened that they took two steps back.
Little did they know that Wu Changkong was actually very careful in his actions.
Tang Wulin and his group only suffered some superficial injuries and looked like they had been badly beaten, but in reality, it wouldn't affect their teaching the next day at all.
Glancing at Zhang Yangzi and his companion, who were huddled together and trembling with fear, Su Mo yawned and lazily stepped out of the shade. "Su Mo, Level 29 Great Soul Master!"
"Level 29!!??"
After Su Mo announced his cultivation level, the entire training ground fell silent instantly.
Even the usually optimistic Tang Wulin was speechless after hearing Su Mo announce his level.
At nine years old and twenty-nine levels, such a terrifying cultivation speed would rank among the top even in the entire history of Soul Masters.
Now they finally understood why Yu Zhen, as the dean, was so humble in front of Su Mo.
Such a genius would be revered wherever he is.
"You are a genius, after all."
After a long silence, Wu Changkong did not hold back his praise.
Before Su Mo could react, Wu Changkong changed the subject again, "But on the path of Soul Masters, those who die the fastest are often so-called geniuses, especially those who think they are geniuses."
Faced with Wu Changkong's nagging, Su Mo was too lazy to argue, "Ah, yes, yes, you're right."
Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong's face darkened. "Very good. I hope you can maintain this mindset in the future."
"Ok?"
Seeing Su Mo rushing straight towards him without even using his martial spirit, Wu Changkong hesitated for a moment but quickly realized what was happening.
Wu Changkong had made up his mind to take advantage of this opportunity to teach Su Mo a lesson.
"Hey~"
The pointer in Wu Changkong's hand was like a sharp blade, slashing towards Su Mo with a piercing sound.
Su Mo dodged to the side as if he had expected it, and then gripped the pointer with his other hand.
Upon seeing this, Wu Changkong immediately channeled his soul power into the teaching whip, attempting to shake Su Mo away.
But what Wu Changkong didn't expect was that Su Mo had the same idea as him.
Under the immense pressure generated by the collision of the two soul forces, the fragile pointer instantly exploded into countless fragments.
"Controlling the Crane and Capturing the Dragon"
The moment the pointer exploded, Wu Changkong's Xuan Tian Gong began to circulate within his body, and his right hand seemed to possess some kind of magic, drawing all the debris in the air into his palm.
Seeing the skills displayed by Wu Changkong, Tang Wulin and the others were so shocked that they didn't know what to say, their eyes filled with envy.
Even the usually proud Gu Yue had a strange look in her beautiful eyes when she saw Wu Changkong use the Crane Control and Dragon Capture technique.
As the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue knew better than anyone that Wu Changkong's move was achieved solely through his precise control over his soul power.
"go with!"
Wu Changkong pushed his right hand out forcefully, and the fragments in his palm instantly transformed into countless sharp blades that shot towards Su Mo.
Faced with Wu Changkong's fierce and dense attacks, Su Mo's mind raced, and he ultimately chose to use Bagua Empty Palm to neutralize the attack.
"Drink!" Su Mo shouted, and pushed his right palm forward. An air cannon that was almost invisible to the naked eye burst out from Su Mo's palm.
Su Mo's fierce palm strike grazed past Wu Changkong's side, severing several strands of his long hair.
"Is this soul power being projected?"
