Look at Shenwei and Lufa. Shenwei has now successfully broken through level 40 and become a Soul Master.

Only Fors is still stuck at level 42 and doesn't actively cultivate. Look at all the other Scroll Kings around you; it's amazing you can stay idle in this kind of atmosphere.

Back then, she was able to break through to level 40 so quickly thanks to Nan Fusheng's support. And now, with such excellent resources right in front of you, you want to slack off? No way! Go and cultivate obediently!

So, over the next month, Nan Fusheng kept urging Fors to cultivate, and she finally succeeded in breaking through to the next level. Although during this process, Fors often scolded him as a "devil with no humanity".

This made Nan Fusheng sigh, raising a child is really difficult!

Meanwhile, a minor incident occurred in Class 1 of the freshmen: Tang Wulin and Gu Yue had a falling out with Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing.

The reason for this was that Tang Wulin learned fusion forging. Fusion forging is a technique that only level six blacksmiths learn; it involves melting different metals together. In simpler terms, it's alloy making.

However, unlike ordinary alloys, alloys forged by blacksmiths differ from those machine-processed alloys. Blacksmith-forged alloys far surpass the latter in quality, perfectly showcasing the inherent properties of the metal.

Because Tang Wulin currently lacks sufficient soul power, it's virtually impossible for him to undergo spirit forging. Therefore, his other teacher at Shrek Academy, the Blazing Dragon Douluo Feng Wuyu, taught him the technique of fusion forging in advance.

After successfully forging the alloy, Tang Wulin immediately took the spirit alloy to Le Zhengyu, who was also a work-study student, hoping to exchange it for the spiritual items needed to break the seal by selling the spirit alloy to him.

Meanwhile, Le Zhengyu, the young master of a wealthy family, also wanted to build a good relationship with Tang Wulin, the promising blacksmith. And so, it was a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive.

During this time, Tang Wulin discovered that Yue Zhengyu wanted to create a one-word battle armor using spirit alloy, which greatly inspired him.

The battle armor made from ordinary first-grade metal will have to be completely replaced when they need to upgrade to second-grade battle armor.

However, if a one-word battle armor is forged based on a spirit alloy, then the battle armor can be directly integrated into the body, and can be summoned directly from within the body when needed.

In the future, this battle armor can be used as a base to upgrade and forge other metals, allowing for further advancement without needing to be replaced.

Tang Wulin even planned to forge it with a spirit alloy with a fusion rate of over 90%, so that in the future they could even use it as a basis to directly advance to a three-word battle armor.

It's important to know that once the fusion rate reaches 60% or higher, new metals can be added. For every 5% increase, one more metal can be added, and at 90% or higher, up to eight metals can be added.

Such a far-fetched idea could hardly possibly gain the approval of Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing. Although they didn't intend to design mechs, but rather to design battle armor for the competition, that was based on the possibility of success.

According to Tang Wulin's plan, once they start forging and designing, there will be no turning back. The potential gains are great, but the risks are even greater.

Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing clearly had no intention of taking any risks, since with their talent, it was still very likely that they would become Battle Armor Masters before the age of twenty-five.

Therefore, both of them directly opposed it, but Gu Yue strongly supported Tang Wulin. At this point, the already strained team completely disbanded.

Chapter 198 Shen Yi: I'm afraid Xiao Yan will get beaten to death

"It's been a month since school started, and I'm sure you've all gained something. Now, our first graders will be having an exchange activity with the second graders. The theme of the activity is a comprehensive competition."

This includes all aspects of forging, mecha design, manufacturing, and maintenance. And then there's practical combat. After finishing today's lesson ahead of schedule, Shen Yi didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stood at the front of the classroom and addressed the students.

"To increase the participation of every student, you can form your own teams for this competition and register through me. Each team can have a maximum of seven members and a minimum of three members."

Representing our class in the forging, designing, manufacturing, and repair competition against Class 1 of Grade 2 is the class committee. Please be prepared. For the sake of fairness, any team from Class 1 of Grade 2, regardless of size, must reduce its participant count when competing against us.

In other words, if our team has three members, the opposing team can only have two. Our class will first hold internal selections to determine the strongest team to compete against them. —Wu Siduo

"Here," Wu Siduo replied, standing up.

Shen Yi said, "After class, please count the number of people in each team and report it to me."

"Yes."

As soon as get out of class ended, Class 1 of the first year erupted in excitement. A competition against the second year? This was a golden opportunity! This kind of competition earned them extra credits, and credits were crucial in determining whether they could graduate and enter the inner academy.

Who wouldn't want to take this opportunity to earn more credits? In this situation, a good teammate is crucial.

Most of the students in the class instinctively glanced at Fors, who was talking to Nan Fusheng, before quickly looking away. Well, they realized they couldn't get close to this guy.

It has been quite some time since the start of the semester, and basically everyone in the class has formed their own small groups due to the group system.

This also gives them a certain understanding of the people around them. But it is precisely because of this that they won't make a fool of themselves.

In the eyes of the class, and even the members of the second group, although Fors usually appeared lazy and easy to talk to, she was actually quite arrogant, though she just didn't show it.

This can be seen from the fact that Fors did not treat the people in the second group as teammates at all during the previous practical exercises.

"Fusheng, let's go find the captain and the others to team up." A soft, sweet voice came from the side. Nan Fusheng turned his head and saw that it was Xu Xiaoyan, who had walked up to him at some point.

"Let's go." Xu Xiaoyan stretched out a hand to Nan Fusheng, looked at him with her sky-blue eyes, and said with anticipation.

"That won't do~, because Fusheng wants to team up with me to participate in the competition." A lazy voice sounded as Fors put one hand on Nan Fusheng's shoulder and said to Xu Xiaoyan.

"But the teacher also said that the competition requires a minimum of three-person teams!" Xu Xiaoyan said with a smile.

"Indeed, but why can't I be an exception? After all, one more or one less won't make any difference to me. At worst, when we face the second-year students, I can just let them send two of their own."

Fors maintained his languid expression, while also displaying an indifferent demeanor.

"##, Fors, the teachers have said that arrogance is not a good habit. Now you're making such a big deal out of nothing. If you don't pass the class selection later, then..." Xu Xiaoyan didn't finish her sentence, just looked like she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"As long as Fusheng is by my side, I have the strength of a hundred people." As she spoke, Fors hugged Nan Fusheng's waist in front of Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan (`皿): "Get your filthy hands off me in front of everyone! And what good is it if you have the strength of a hundred people? Our class, including you and Fusheng, has a total of one hundred and three people." Of course, the above is purely Xu Xiaoyan's true feelings.

In reality, Xu Xiaoyan had no good ideas for dealing with Fors's stubborn attitude, so she could only look pitifully at Nan Fusheng, hoping that he would make a decision.

Nan Fusheng: "..." How am I supposed to make a decision like this! Is Fors deliberately getting revenge on me?

Fortunately, before Nan Fusheng could activate his super brain to come up with a solution, Shen Yi's voice rang out again, "Everyone, please be quiet."

The whole class quickly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Yi.

"We're having two new transfer students join our class. Let me introduce them to you. This is Ye Xinglan, a power-attack type battle spirit master, and the other is Xu Lizhi, a food-type weapon spirit master. Please welcome them."

A few scattered claps rang out, and Nan Fusheng looked over, only to see a lump of flesh—no, it should be said that a person looked almost identical to a lump of flesh.

The other person was round all over, almost like a giant ball of flesh. He was over 1.8 meters tall, and his waist was probably close to 1.8 meters as well. He was fair-skinned and chubby, and his face was full of smiles.

"Is this Xu Lizhi?" Nan Fusheng's lips twitched slightly. Back then, the Xu Lizhi he saw was fat, but he was just an ordinary fat guy! He never expected that after not seeing him for a few years, the other party would have grown so much!

"As for Ye Xinglan, she seems to have grown up quite normally." When Nan Fusheng disguised himself as Zhang Wuji, he severely abused her, almost causing Ye Xinglan psychological trauma.

However, after Shen Yi's guidance, Ye Xinglan successfully overcame that hurdle.

The only regret Ye Xinglan had was that when she emerged from her inner turmoil and wanted to exact revenge on the Water Dragon Team, she learned that they had been attacked by a Title Douluo-level evil soul master, with many members killed or wounded. This prevented her from fighting the Water Dragon Team again.

Now, Ye Xinglan is thirteen years old. Girls develop early, and she is already over 1.6 meters tall with a slender figure, especially her long legs, which are very eye-catching.

More importantly, her beauty was second only to Fors in the first year, with only Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo comparable. This immediately attracted the attention of many male students.

However, Ye Xinglan's cold expression remained unchanged, still as aloof and unapproachable as ever.

"There are still empty seats at the back. Since you are transfer students, please go to the back. We are about to have a match against the second graders, and you can also choose to join a team and participate. I hope you can integrate into the class."

After saying that, Shen Yi walked out of the classroom, but she didn't leave completely. After all, she had just noticed that the atmosphere between Xu Xiaoyan and Fors seemed a little subtle.

As the teacher of Class 1 of freshmen, and also considered Xu Xiaoyan's junior uncle, she had a responsibility to safeguard the harmonious relationship between the students.

Okay! Actually, she was just afraid Xu Xiaoyan would get beaten to death by Fors. After all, Fors was the one who injured her senior brother. With Xu Xiaoyan's small frame, if she angered him, the consequences would be...

Chapter 199 Zheng Qia Ran Transforms into Little Blackie

Even so, Shen Yi was still a little worried, after all, she had seen many tragedies caused by relationships.

Take Wu Changkong, who is right next to me, for example. He fell out with his master because of Long Bing.

"In that case, why don't the three of us form a team?" This was the suggestion Nan Fusheng came up with after enduring Xu Xiaoyan's expectant gaze and Fors's amused expression.

"But, the captain and the others?" Xu Xiaoyan said somewhat awkwardly. Compared to being in a group with Fors, her rival in love, she really wanted to be in a group with Tang Wulin and the others, just like when they were still in Donghai City.

"It's alright, I trust Wu Lin and the others. Besides, look, it seems like they're going to team up with Ye Xinglan." Nan Fusheng gestured with his chin, indicating that Xu Xiaoyan should look in that direction.

On the stage, Luo Guixing was the first to approach Ye Xinglan and strike up a conversation, "Hello, I am Luo Guixing. May I ask what level of cultivation you are at?"

With his gentle tone and warm smile, coupled with his reputation as a young genius and his good looks, he could easily win the favor of girls.

Unfortunately, he was facing Ye Xinglan, a woman whose mind was only filled with Shrek's glory and swords.

Sure enough, Ye Xinglan only glanced at him before walking straight to the back of the classroom, completely ignoring him. Luo Guixing's smile froze instantly.

The first-year students' gazes followed Ye Xinglan as she walked away.

Only Tang Wulin walked up to Xu Lizhi, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, "Not bad! You've changed so much in the past few years. Now we're classmates, so how about joining our team?"

Although Tang Wulin and Ye Xinglan had a disagreement three years ago, it didn't affect his goodwill towards Xu Lizhi, who was also a foodie.

"Hehe, no problem. But..." Xu Lizhi lowered his voice and said to Tang Wulin, "Wulin, let Xinglan join our team too, okay? Otherwise, she'll be so lonely. Knowing her personality, she won't join anyone else's team. I can't just watch her be all alone!"

"Great!" Tang Wulin wasn't one to hold grudges. If Ye Xinglan were to join their team, it would undoubtedly be a huge boost. Ye Xinglan was already so powerful back then; how could she be weak three years later?

Ye Xinglan rejected Luo Guixing's advances, and few of the students who were watching her dared to go up and say hello.

Luo Guixing was, after all, a renowned young genius and a control-type battle spirit master. In terms of prestige, he was definitely higher than Tang Wulin in the class.

Despite being the vice class monitor, everyone in the class knows that Tang Wulin's martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. In the class monitor selection competition, Tang Wulin didn't have any outstanding performance. He basically relied on sneak attacks and taking advantage of others to defeat his opponents.

In the end, he was instantly killed by Fors, without ever displaying any significant combat power. Even after revealing three thousand-year soul rings and demonstrating some strength, the initial impression he had left was not so easily changed.

In many people's eyes, Tang Wulin only became the vice class monitor because he was lucky enough to stay until the end and because Fors mentioned him. There are still far more people who acknowledge the Five Great Geniuses Ranking than those who acknowledge him.

Tang Wulin walked straight up to Ye Xinglan and said, "Long time no see!"

Ye Xinglan glanced at him, her expression unchanged, "What is it?"

Tang Wulin smiled and said, "Ye Xinglan, join our team. This competition requires a minimum of three people to form a team. You and Lizhi are only two people, so you can't form a team to participate in the competition."

"Then I won't participate," Ye Xinglan said rather coldly. From her eyes, Tang Wulin could tell that she seemed to be in a bad mood.
