A tense atmosphere filled the classroom as Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi worried about the upcoming exam.
"Ugh, this time we have to go to the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform during a riot period, the pressure is too great," Wang Jinxi said dejectedly.
Zhang Yangzi also looked troubled: "I can barely handle the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, let alone the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform during a riot period."
The two exchanged bitter smiles, their eyes revealing deep worry.
During a riot period, the Spirit Ascension Platform not only has rarer Spirit Beasts, but their cultivation also greatly increases.
Such a final exam was indeed a huge challenge for them, Spirit Masters who had just reached the three-ring stage.
"Fang Yang, aren't you worried at all?" Gu Yue walked up to Fang Yang, her black hair swaying slightly with her movements.
She leaned in slightly, her voice clear and pleasant.
Fang Yang looked up from his contemplation, a glint flashing in his eyes: "I was thinking, since the rules allow it, perhaps we can take the initiative and seize the spiritual power of other Spirit Masters."
This sentence instantly quieted the entire classroom, and everyone's gaze focused on him.
"Haji Yang, you scoundrel."
Xie Xie was the first to break the silence. He widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "We're all worried about whether we can pass the final exam, but you're already planning how to steal other people's spiritual power!"
"Fang Yang, do we have any tactical arrangements for our final exam?" Tang Wulin asked thoughtfully.
Fang Yang stood up, looked at everyone, and said, "As for tactics, we've already cooperated many times in our usual training."
His voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the quiet classroom, "If we encounter low-cultivation Spirit Beasts, then Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin, you all will strike and quickly resolve the battle."
Then, his gaze turned to Gu Yue, and the two exchanged a knowing look: "If a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast appears, leave it to Gu Yue and me. You all will be responsible for support and containment."
"In our usual training, we have fought against Teacher Wu many times, and our team coordination is already quite mature. As long as we perform normally, there's nothing to be afraid of." Fang Yang's tone was confident.
He paused, then added, "However, since this is our first time entering the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform during a riot period, to be safe, everyone still needs to make some preparations, just in case."
Just then, Tang Wulin suddenly thought of something, his eyes lighting up: "That's right, in order to pass the final exam, I've decided to forge a set of Thousand Refined protective gear for everyone to increase our survival capabilities!"
"Wu Lin, isn't this… considered cheating?" Xie Xie scratched his head, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"How can it be called cheating?" Tang Wulin raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Xie Xie, Teacher Wu didn't stipulate that protective gear is not allowed in the Spirit Ascension Platform, did he?"
Fang Yang took over the conversation, smiling slightly, "So, since we have a way to improve our survival capabilities, why wouldn't we use it?"
"Makes sense!" Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi nodded in unison. A glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.
Xie Xie's lips curled into a confident smile: "Then it's settled! With the protective gear forged by Wu Lin, plus our cooperation, this final exam is a sure thing!"
Tang Wulin clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fighting spirit: "This final exam, our Zero Class will all pass!"
"Go for it!" Everyone shouted in unison, and the classroom was filled with a fighting spirit.
At this moment, Fang Yang suddenly spoke: "Wu Lin, just prepare the protective gear for them. Gu Yue and I don't need it."
Tang Wulin was slightly stunned, then nodded knowingly: "Okay."
He was too aware of Fang Yang and Gu Yue's terrifying strength; ordinary protective gear might even be a hindrance to them.
"Oh, right." Fang Yang turned to the other three, "You all should now report your height, weight, and three measurements to Wu Lin so he can tailor the protective gear for you."
Xie Xie, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi immediately reported their information.
Tang Wulin diligently recorded it while mentally calculating the most suitable forging plan for each person.
Afterward, everyone left the classroom to prepare for the upcoming three-day holiday.
For this rare three-day holiday, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, the inseparable good friends, decided to take this opportunity to explore Eastsea City and relax their tense nerves.
The two walked out of the classroom arm in arm, their faces already showing expectant smiles.
Tang Wulin, on the other hand, took advantage of his free time to accompany Senior Ouyang Zixin.
He knew he wouldn't have time later, because he had to forge the protective gear needed for the final exam for everyone, which was not an easy task.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace, "Senior, I'm here!"
Xie Xie looked at Fang Yang and said, "Fang Yang, you…"
Before Xie Xie could finish, Gu Yue naturally took Fang Yang's hand: "Fang Yang is definitely with me, Xie Xie, what are you thinking…" Her tone carried a hint of playfulness.
"Ah, it's just me again…" Xie Xie sighed, looking at their departing backs, a trace of loneliness flashing in his eyes, "Fang Yang has Gu Yue, Tang Wulin has Senior Ouyang Zixin, I have nothing…"
…
And so, Fang Yang was led by Gu Yue out of the Zero Class classroom.
"Gu Yue, where are we going?" Fang Yang asked, his gaze gently falling on the profile of the girl beside him.
Gu Yue pondered for a moment, then showed a gentle smile: "Let's just walk around."
"Okay." Fang Yang nodded at her words.
Fang Yang and Gu Yue walked hand in hand, leisurely strolling through Eastsea Academy.
Just then, a figure blocked their path.
"Xu Xiaoyu, is that you?" Fang Yang said, looking at the person in front of them.
Xu Xiaoyu crossed his arms, his eyes cold: "Fang Yang, long time no see."
"Where's Xiao Yan? Didn't she come looking for you?" Fang Yang's expression was normal.
This sentence seemed to trigger a switch, and Xu Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly turned icy: "Fang Yang! How dare you mention Xiao Yan? She comes looking for you every time under the guise of looking for me, do you think I don't know?"
"Hiss…" Fang Yang suddenly gasped.
Gu Yue's slender fingers had somehow pinched his waist.
He quickly held Gu Yue's hand tightly, his eyes pleading.
Xu Xiaoyu sneered: "What? Now you're scared?"
"Cough cough, Xiao Yan didn't come, so I'll be leaving first." Fang Yang quickly let out two dry laughs, enduring the pain in his waist, and smiled slightly.
With that, he was about to turn and leave.
"Wait!" Xu Xiaoyu suddenly called out, "Fang Yang, I know your Zero Class is going to the Spirit Ascension Platform for an exam in three days. I look forward to fighting you there!"
With that, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from him. The pressure of a thirty-ninth-level Spirit Elder came rushing towards them.
Fang Yang sighed helplessly.
The next moment, an even more terrifying aura burst forth from his body.
The pressure of a fortieth-level Spirit Ancestor poured down like a mountain, instantly making Xu Xiaoyu's face turn pale.
"This… how is this possible?!" Xu Xiaoyu was incredulous, his eyes full of shock.
A tempest raged in his heart: "He… he's actually a Spirit Ancestor?!"
Fang Yang looked at Xu Xiaoyu's shocked expression and gently shook his head: "Our Zero Class is not in the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, but in the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform."
After speaking, he took Gu Yue's hand and turned to leave, leaving Xu Xiaoyu standing there alone.
After walking a distance, Gu Yue suddenly spoke: "That Xu Xiaoyan… often comes to find you?"
Her voice was still cool, but Fang Yang keenly detected a dangerous aura.
"Gu Yue, you are my favorite." Fang Yang quickly explained, while secretly rubbing his still throbbing waist.
Gu Yue snorted lightly but did not continue to press the matter.
