The next morning.
"From today onwards, we will officially begin classes. Most of the courses will be personally taught by me. Everyone, stand up and follow me to the training ground."
A simple white shirt paired with dark plaid trousers made his figure appear tall and slender.
Teacher Wu walked to the podium and commanded coldly.
His ice-blue hair shimmered with a cold light in the morning sun, and his dark green eyes swept over every student present.
"Quiet, line up in two rows."
Looking at the somewhat noisy students, Teacher Wu did not get angry.
He just stood there quietly, the chill emanating from his body seemed to lower the surrounding temperature by a few degrees.
Under Teacher Wu's powerful aura, the students obediently lined up in two rows, no one dared to continue talking loudly or making noise.
"My teaching method is different from other teachers. Their teaching focuses on theory and practice, but my teaching focuses on actual combat! Actual combat is the best way to improve one's strength!"
"Today's first lesson is actual combat! Next, you will pair up and engage in actual combat."
"I will serve as the referee, using single-elimination. Let me see your true abilities to facilitate the creation of a cultivation plan."
Seeing the students neatly lined up, Teacher Wu continued.
"Teacher Wu, I am a support system Spirit Master… do I also have to engage in actual combat?"
At this moment, a female student timidly raised her hand.
Teacher Wu's gaze suddenly turned cold: "On the battlefield, will the enemy not kill you just because you are a support system Spirit Master?"
His voice was devoid of any emotion, "Don't let it happen again."
If anyone asks such a question again, they can directly apply for a transfer to another class. If other classes don't accept them, then they can drop out or transfer schools.
The training ground instantly became silent, so quiet that even breathing could be heard.
Just then, Fang Yang raised his hand: "Teacher Wu, I have a question. My spirit power is at level twenty-nine, who will I fight against?"
Teacher Wu's gaze lingered on Fang Yang for a moment, then he said: "After everyone else has finished their matches, I will personally spar with you."
He turned to the front of the line: "Starting with you two."
The ones called were Tang Wulin and Xie Xie. Xie Xie was an eighteen-level attack system Battle Spirit Master, while Tang Wulin was a fifteen-level control system Spirit Master.
The two walked to the center of the arena, exchanged glances, and invisible sparks seemed to erupt in the air.
"Tang Wulin, I won't go easy on you this time."
Xie Xie narrowed his eyes, his Tool Spirit, Light Dragon Dagger, already appearing in his right hand.
Tang Wulin's expression was calm, and his Battle Intent rose in his eyes: "Xie Xie, just bring it on."
Teacher Wu stepped back a few paces, his voice clearly reaching the arena:
"The rules are simple—knock down your opponent, any means are allowed, no need to hold back. With me here, no one will be harmed."
"Begin!"
Tang Wulin instantly released his Blue Silver Grass Spirit, and a yellow hundred-year spirit ring rose from beneath his feet.
A Datura Snake, entirely emerald green, coiled beside him; it was his Natal Soul Spirit, "Blue Light."
First Spirit Ability: "Blue Silver Entanglement!"
Hearing the name of this Spirit Ability, Teacher Wu's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart stirred.
"Blue Silver Entanglement!" This was the famous ultimate skill of the Tang Sect founder, Sea God Tang San!
With Tang Wulin's low shout, dense Blue Silver Grass vines wrapped around Xie Xie.
These seemingly ordinary Blue Silver Grass were actually extraordinary, with faint dark blue patterns on the edges of their leaves, subtly exuding a unique aura.
Xie Xie was not to be outdone, his yellow spirit ring lit up under his feet, and the Light Dragon Dagger brought forth streaks of golden light.
His speed was extremely fast, his figure moving like Gui Mei through the vines.
However, to his shock, the usually sharp Light Dragon Dagger found it difficult to cut through these seemingly fragile Blue Silver Grass.
"How is this possible…" Xie Xie was greatly alarmed, his movements involuntarily stalling.
Tang Wulin seized the opportunity and activated his Spirit Ability again: "Blue Silver Entanglement!"
More Blue Silver vines appeared, wrapping Xie Xie up like a zongzi.
No matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free from the seemingly soft yet incredibly tough Blue Silver Grass.
"Match over, Tang Wulin wins." Teacher Wu announced the result, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes.
As a student of Shrek Academy, he could feel that Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass was extraordinary.
Xie Xie's Light Dragon Dagger, though not a top-tier Spirit, shouldn't be so weak that it couldn't even cut ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Unless…
Teacher Wu's heart stirred: "Does he have a trace of the Blue Silver King Bloodline, or is it the legendary Blue Silver Emperor?"
"If that's truly the case, according to the Spirit Legacy rules, this child likely possesses another Spirit."
The Douluo Continent's number one Tool Spirit: "Clear Sky Hammer!"
Then Tang Wulin's identity would not be simple…
"You two, come here."
Teacher Wu's voice was cold. Tang Wulin and Xie Xie exchanged glances and quickly walked to him.
"Xie Xie, your Light Dragon Dagger should win by speed, yet you only attacked recklessly, without any strategy."
Then, Teacher Wu continued: "Tang Wulin, your timing for Blue Silver Entanglement was acceptable, but your subsequent control connection was too slow. If your opponent were slightly stronger, you would have already lost."
His critiques were merciless, every word hitting the mark. The two listened, sweating on their foreheads, but had to admit that Teacher Wu was right.
The subsequent matches made Teacher Wu's brow furrow even more.
Eastsea Academy's Fifth Class was indeed, as rumored, a gathering place for "废武魂" (waste Spirits).
Among the twenty students in the class, eight were Tool Spirit Masters, completely lacking any combat ability, and their support abilities were also very mediocre.
And among the Battle Spirit Masters, three had Spirits that were close to the commonly recognized waste Spirit, Blue Silver Grass.
At this moment, it was my turn, Gangzi, to appear!
Grandmaster: "There are no waste Spirits, only waste Spirit Masters!"
The most absurd match, two support system Tool Spirit Masters fighting, actually devolved into a comical scene of "you push me, I push you."
Although Teacher Wu was mentally prepared, he didn't expect the students' level to be so poor when he witnessed it firsthand.
From the current situation, the only ones worth noting were Fang Yang, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie.
When the last match ended, Teacher Wu looked at Fang Yang, who had been waiting: "Now, it's our turn."
Fang Yang looked calm and stepped into the center of the arena.
Teacher Wu said indifferently: "I will suppress my spirit power to level twenty-nine and only use my first and second Spirit Abilities. You only need to withstand three moves from me to win."
"Yes, Teacher Wu." Fang Yang nodded slightly.
"Begin!"
Almost the instant "Begin!" was announced, a blue light flashed in Teacher Wu's hand. As his spirit power condensed, a slender Skyfrost Sword appeared out of thin air.
The sword body was crystal clear, shrouded in cold Qi, as if even the surrounding air was frozen.
"Wow! What a cool Spirit!"
"Is this Teacher Wu's strength? So powerful!"
"Can Fang Yang hold on?"
The students discussed animatedly, their eyes filled with envy.
With the appearance of the Skyfrost Sword Spirit, a stronger chill also emanated from around Teacher Wu.
Teacher Wu said nothing. He took a step forward, then swung his sword, bringing forth a clear blue Sword Qi. The cold Qi swept towards Fang Yang like a tide!
"So fast!"
Fang Yang's pupils contracted slightly, secretly surprised.
Even with his spirit power suppressed, Teacher Wu's sword strike was perfect in speed and angle, far beyond what ordinary Spirit Masters could achieve!
He retreated rapidly, while simultaneously raising his right hand, and a blazing flame suddenly erupted!
"Exotic Flame, appear!"
Deep yellow flames coiled in Fang Yang's palm.
The scorching high temperature instantly dispelled the surrounding chill.
Teacher Wu's Skyfrost Sword Qi approached, but the moment it touched the exotic flame, it melted rapidly like snow encountering a scorching sun!
"Hmm?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Teacher Wu's eyes.
His Skyfrost Sword's cold Qi was extremely strong; even Spirit Masters of the same rank would find it difficult to easily neutralize it. Yet, Fang Yang's flame could directly evaporate it?
"This flame is not simple!"
