"How could it be hitting? It was touching, it was touching!" Xu Xiaoyu said helplessly.
"It's a deal then. If you run into that person next time, be sure to tell me! Come to think of it, I haven't even asked him his name yet. You must thank him properly next time you meet him," Xu Xiaoyan said excitedly.
"Huh? Did I promise you something like that? I don't know anything about it," Xu Xiaoyu said, looking completely bewildered.
However, seeing his sister's expectant look, Xu Xiaoyu seemed to realize something, and his expression turned even more grim. He began to secretly pray that Nan Fusheng would never come looking for him again.
Chapter 73 The Temptation of Wu Lin
From the day Wu Changkong criticized everyone in Class Zero, the atmosphere in Class Zero began to become strange.
Zhang Yangzi fell silent, while Wang Jinxi became even more silent than usual.
The reason was that during a training session, the six members of Class Zero were fighting against Wu Changkong, but at the crucial moment, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi were unable to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
At first, the two were flustered, but after Wu Changkong's analysis, they finally discovered that Wang Jinxi's martial soul had undergone a benign mutation due to his training with Tang Wulin, which prevented the two from using the martial soul fusion skill.
Zhang Yangzi and Tang Wulin!
Wang Jinxi must choose one of these two people. If he chooses Zhang Yangzi, then he must stay away from Tang Wulin.
Because Tang Wulin's strength is still very weak, the influence on his martial soul is not that great. As long as the distance is created, his martial soul will quickly return to its original state. Everything will return to its original state.
If he chooses Tang Wulin, his martial soul can continue to mutate, and his potential can be increased. The benefits for his future are obvious.
Torn between friendship and the future, Wang Jinxi was lost in confusion. Every day after school, he would immediately lock himself in his room and avoid contact with others.
However, Nan Fusheng knew that when Wang Jinxi did this, it meant that his choice had already shifted to a certain extent.
Two days passed quickly, and it was time for the second part of the final exam.
"Come with me to the second part of the final exam," Wu Changkong said calmly.
“Teacher Wu.” Just then, Wang Jinxi stood up.
"Hmm?" Wu Changkong looked at him.
"Teacher Wu, I've made up my mind. I will give up the opportunity to cultivate with Tang Wulin," Wang Jinxi said calmly but firmly.
Zhang Yangzi also looked at him with some surprise, something more evident in his eyes.
Wu Changkong looked at him, "Have you really thought it through?"
Wang Jinxi nodded seriously.
Nan Fusheng felt a mix of emotions as he watched this scene.
Unexpectedly, the "sudden arrival" route couldn't compete with the pure love story of "childhood sweethearts." No one can judge whether Wang Jinxi's choice is good or bad.
His choice of Zhang Yangzi demonstrates his unwavering resolve and inability to be swayed by personal gain. It's likely that after experiencing the temptations of Tang Wulin, the "other woman," his friendship and trust with Zhang Yangzi will increase dramatically.
From a realistic perspective, he was incredibly foolish! For a martial soul to mutate into a stronger form, especially a high-level martial soul like the Bone Dragon King, is extremely rare and highly sought after, yet he gave it up. He was completely gambling with his future.
Finally, Wang Jinxi turned his gaze to Nan Fusheng, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie, took a deep breath as if gathering his courage, and said, "Also, Teacher Wu, thank you for your teaching this semester, and thank you to my partners as well."
"However, I'm sorry, I have to transfer schools. I'll be transferring with Yangzi, leaving this place. I can sense Wu Lin's bloodline aura far too clearly. If I stay at the academy, I'll inevitably be influenced by him, no matter what. Not cultivating with him has been making me feel quite depressed these past two days, so I have no choice but to leave."
Without his partner in the Spirit Fusion Technique, he would become an ordinary Spirit Master. Whether his future cultivation speed could keep up was another matter, but the level of importance he would receive would also be greatly reduced. His family would become more loosely organized, and strength would be the most important factor in determining the family's status.
At this moment, Wang Jinxi's firm words finally dispelled all his worries.
"As for the contract with the academy, Ms. Wu, I'll have to trouble you. My father and I have discussed it, and my family will provide some money to compensate the academy for the resources that Yangzi and I have used this semester. I'm sorry."
He bowed deeply towards Wu Changkong, but what Tang Wulin saw was two small puddles of water on the ground as he bent over.
How could Wang Jinxi possibly want to leave this group? A semester of training together had not only forged friendships, but also a rare and precious tacit understanding between Soul Masters!
They were a unified whole, comrades who could rely on each other for support. Now that they had to part ways, how could he bear to leave?
Just as Wang Jinxi himself said, he would always be influenced by Tang Wulin here. If he could cultivate with Tang Wulin, this influence would be mostly positive.
But after not cultivating together for the past two days, Wang Jinxi realized how deeply Tang Wulin had influenced him. The insomnia and inability to concentrate on meditation caused him profound pain. This decision was difficult and painful, but it was unavoidable.
Wu Changkong remained expressionless, but Nan Fusheng noticed a hint of sadness flashing deep in his eyes.
"Alright. Since you've made your decision, there's no need to worry about anything else. I'll talk to the academy, and I'll also ask your families to handle this matter properly. Perhaps this is the right choice."
Wu Changkong's answer was simple, "So, are you still going to come with me to today's final exam?"
Wang Jinxi said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Teacher Wu. Given Yangzi's and my current mood, I'm afraid we won't be able to take today's exam. Fusheng, Wulin, Xie Xie, Guyue, you guys have to do your best!"
Don't let us affect you; you're all the best. We'll meet again someday. Maybe then we'll become your challengers. We'll definitely get stronger and won't fall behind.
Upon hearing Wang Jinxi's words, Tang Wulin couldn't help but rush forward and hug him and Zhang Yangzi tightly. The three of them huddled together, sobbing uncontrollably.
Xie Xie, standing awkwardly to the side, looked at the three people hugging each other and said, "Couldn't you have saved me a seat?"
Xie Xie looked at Nan Fusheng, who waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to get involved in this farewell scene.
Looking at Gu Yue, Gu Yue looked at Xie Xie with disdain, indicating that she did not want to hug a crying boy.
"The exam will be tomorrow," Wu Changkong said, then strode out of the classroom.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi returned to their dormitory to pack their things and left. Tang Wulin didn't know what kind of agreement their families and the academy had reached. He only knew that Class Zero now only had the original four of them left.
On this day, Tang Wulin thought a lot, and his temperament suddenly changed from a sunny and cheerful boy to a melancholy boy.
Chapter 74 Seventy percent? You're kidding me!
early morning.
Nan Fusheng walked towards the cafeteria as usual, and as usual saw the two figures running on the playground, but he always felt that something was missing? That's right, it was Xie Xie who was missing, keeping an eye on things.
Nan Fusheng walked into the cafeteria to eat with a normal expression, as if Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi's departure yesterday had no effect on him whatsoever. In fact, it really had no effect at all.
However, Nan Fusheng still felt a little regretful. After all, those two possessed a martial soul fusion skill and were potential high-quality targets for future parasitism. Now that they had left, he was truly reluctant to let them go.
No worries, Class Zero will probably welcome a new teammate soon. Xu Xiaoyan, who has the ability of 'absolute control', is also a good partner worth parasitizing.
However, even if he wants to parasitize, he has to wait until he becomes a "demigod" of Sequence Four. Right now, the most important thing is to accumulate power and strive to do something big in the future.
As expected, the second final exam was also held outside the academy. Wu Changkong led Nan Fusheng and the other three out of the academy, and this time they didn't walk, but took a Soul Guidance Bus directly to the suburbs.
"Teacher Wu, could you tell us a little about what our exam will be about today?" Xie Xie asked with a forced smile.
Wu Changkong glanced at him. "You'll know when you get there. It's a bit like the Ascension Platform, but not exactly the same."
"Oh." Xie Xie nodded.
The bus drove out of the city, and once it reached the suburbs, everything began to feel unfamiliar.
Although it was still packed with people, it had become noticeably more spacious.
They got off the bus in the suburbs, and Wu Changkong led them into a huge industrial park. This park had a name: Donghai Soul Guidance Technology Park.
The park features extensive green spaces and rows of buildings of various styles, each with its own unique characteristics, and most of them are constructed of metal.
"Do you know this place?" Tang Wulin asked Xie Xie beside him in a low voice.
Xie Xie said, "I've heard of it. It seems that all the high-tech companies in Donghai City are located here. Most of the major companies in Donghai City are here. I've also heard that there are factories here that produce mechs."
"Mecha?" Upon hearing these two words, Nan Fusheng's eyes narrowed slightly. Assessment, mecha production? It seems that Wu Changkong must have brought them to the location of the Tang Sect.
The park was huge, and they walked for a full half hour. Although it wasn't too tiring for them as Soul Masters, Nan Fusheng still wanted to complain: "Damn it, couldn't you have brought a small electric car or something? Do you know how much patience it takes to walk for half an hour?"
Wu Changkong led them to a small area within the park.
The first thing that caught their eye was also an open green area, followed by a small building. Compared to the buildings they had seen before, this small building seemed quite small and somewhat disproportionate to the vast scope of this garden within a garden.
I walked all the way to the door, only to see that there wasn't even a nameplate on the small building, and I had no idea what place it was. Could it be that the second final exam was held here?
The dark blue small building has a mirror effect on the exterior wall, which seems to be made of pieces of glass. The mirror gives a strange beauty and refracts the light source from different angles.
There was no one at the door; the dark blue glass door was closed. Wu Changkong stepped forward and placed his right hand directly on the glass.
A bright blue light flashed and disappeared, a projection lit up, and a somewhat humorous voice rang out, "Yo, long time no see! Donghai Xiaochangkong."
Wu Zhangkong said coldly, "Open the door."
The voice said helplessly: "You are still so boring."
With a soft "ding" sound, the glass door opened silently to both sides.
Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue were all stunned. Little Changkong of the East China Sea? What the hell?
Stepping through the glass door, the white floor, dark blue walls, and soft white lighting created a clean and tidy atmosphere, yet no one was there. A circular metal platform floated in, supporting four metal bracelets.
"Put them on," Wu Changkong said to Nan Fusheng and the other three.
Xie Xie asked curiously, "Teacher Wu, what is this for?"
Wu Zhangkong said, "Identification. Wearing it will ensure you're not mistaken for an enemy and won't be destroyed by the defense system here."
Xie Xie exclaimed, "It feels so high-end!"
Wu Changkong didn't say much and continued leading the four inside. They arrived once again at a deep blue glass door. A bright blue light swept across it again, and this time there was no sound. The four people wearing metal rings saw a flash of light on their bracelets and then fell silent.
Behind the door was a passageway that stretched inwards, turning several corners. After passing through another glass door, a flash of light appeared, and Wu Changkong, who was walking at the front, suddenly disappeared.
Nan Fusheng, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue instinctively stopped in their tracks. This is...
"Space technology?" Xie Xie exclaimed in shock. Coming from a prominent family, he had a deep understanding of the current state of technology on the continent. He clearly remembered that space technology was still in the research and development stage, far from being ready for practical application. But what he had just seen… seemed to be space technology!
"Forward." Wu Changkong's voice came from all directions.
