The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

As she spoke, the green-clad teacher couldn't help but glance at Xu Zihuang, who looked completely innocent.

"Teacher Mu, I really didn't expect her to be so weak." Xu Zihuang said sincerely, but his words left Mu Jin and the green teacher speechless.

"Didn't you say your martial soul is the Golden Eye of the Spirit attribute? How come you're more like a power-attack type soul master than a power-attack type soul master?" Mu Jin complained inwardly, waving her hand helplessly at Xu Zihuang.

"You go down first."

Xu Zihuang responded, just as Ning Tian hurriedly came towards them, presumably to check on Wu Feng's condition.

In the instant she passed Xu Zihuang, her gaze became somewhat complicated.

She heard everything that Teacher Green said. They had already held back, so what could she say? She could only blame Wu Feng for overestimating himself.

As they passed through the barrier area, Teacher Wang Yan suddenly smiled and asked Xu Zihuang, "Hello, Yu student. My name is Wang Yan, and I'm also a teacher in the outer academy. May I ask if your martial spirit is of the power type?"

"Hello, Teacher Wang," Xu Zihuang greeted politely, then shook his head.

"My martial spirit is not of the power type."

"Hmm?" Wang Yan was slightly taken aback, but did not ask any further questions. Having studied martial spirits for decades, he also had a sense of pride. He believed that as long as he could spend some time with Yu Tianhuang, he would eventually be able to discern Yu Tianhuang's martial spirit.

As he watched Xu Zihuang's retreating figure, a smile appeared on his lips.

He hadn't shown this much interest in a new student in years.

Chapter 67 Taboo

On the battle stage, Tuoba Yu stared blankly as Xu Zihuang, with a calm expression, sat down in the seat next to him.

From the very beginning, he had guessed that Xu Zihuang, with his extraordinary temperament, was likely from one of those powerful and influential families of Soul Masters.

Earlier in the classroom, Mu Jin said that Xu Zihuang had the cultivation level of a Soul Venerable, which can be considered as confirmation of his guess.

But seeing is believing. Only after witnessing the clash between Xu Zihuang and Wu Feng did he realize just how powerful Xu Zihuang was among his peers.

It even gave him an overwhelming sense of powerlessness and frustration.

However, this sense of frustration did not overwhelm him.

Even the strongest person has their limits. Some things can't be done just because you want to. The White Armor Earth Dragon Martial Soul inherited by his family can only barely be considered a high-level Martial Soul, and he can't compare to those geniuses who awaken their Martial Souls with innate full Soul Power.

In Shrek Academy, where geniuses abound, his talent is by no means top-tier.

All he could do was try his best.

Thirty, forty, or even fifty years from now, one day he will become a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, making contributions to the country and washing away the humiliation his family has endured for ten thousand years.

The blood debts committed by his ancestors cannot be erased; he will not deny them, much less evade them.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Yu's eyes became exceptionally firm.

Xu Zihuang, who possessed the Golden Eyes martial soul with a spiritual attribute, keenly noticed the unusual emotion in Tuoba Yu's eyes out of the corner of his eye. However, he quickly focused his attention back on the center of the fighting arena in front of him.

Everyone has secrets; there's no need for him to delve too deeply and annoy people.

At this moment, under the care of the medical teacher, Ning Tian and Wu Feng had already left and gone to the academy's infirmary.

However, the actual combat exercises of the entire freshman class 9 are still ongoing.

As Wang Yan said, the talents of the students in Class 9 are indeed outstanding among this year's freshmen.

Including Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who left, there were a total of ten Great Soul Masters above level 20.

Four men and six women.

Xu Zihuang, who was in the first real combat confrontation with Wu Feng, was also included.

Xu Zihuang had heard of all sorts of bizarre and wonderful martial spirits, but this was the first time he had ever witnessed them in person.

Shrek Academy is, after all, a school that attracts talented young soul masters from all over the continent.

He initially just wanted to browse casually, but ended up getting completely absorbed in it. These are all invaluable experiences.

Unlike the increasingly heated atmosphere in the Soul Fighting Zone, Wu Feng slowly regained consciousness in the infirmary with the help of the healing-type teacher, Green.

As soon as she woke up, she couldn't help but look at her left arm. Waves of excruciating pain immediately caused cold sweat to bead on her forehead.

"Fengmei, how are you feeling?"

Ning Tian, ​​who was standing by the bedside, looked at Wu Feng with concern. Wu Feng was not only a guard trained for her by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, but they had also grown up together and had a deep bond.

"I have repaired the fractured bone in her left arm, but it's best if she doesn't use her martial soul for a month and needs to rest properly."

The green-clad teacher, who was standing nearby, gave a subtle reminder and then left the room, understanding the implication.

"Thank you for your help, Teacher Lü." Ning Tian respectfully stood up and bowed, then locked the door after seeing Teacher Lü off.

Seeing Ning Tian's gloomy face, Wu Feng opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

“Ning Tian…”

"Slap!" A crisp sound suddenly rang out in the room. Wu Feng covered his flushed cheek and looked at Ning Tian in disbelief.

Although Ning Tian was reluctant, she had to harden her heart because she had been raised from childhood as the sole heir of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Have you considered the consequences of your recklessness? It's fortunate we're at Shrek Academy, where teachers and elders are keeping an eye on us. If we were elsewhere, facing those unrestrained and reckless Soul Masters, you might not even survive. Don't let your emotions control you. The sect can't always protect us, do you understand?"

"I was wrong this time, Ning Tian." Wu Feng lowered her head obediently. She, who was always hot-tempered in front of outsiders, became very docile when facing Ning Tian.

Seeing that Wu Feng had given in, Ning Tian's tone became much gentler, and he gently stroked Wu Feng's slightly swollen cheek.

"Since you understand, find an opportunity to apologize to Yu Tianhuang."

"Apologize? To him?!" Upon hearing this, Wu Feng looked even more aggrieved.

Ning Tian shook his head helplessly. "Feng Mei, don't you understand? Yu Tianhuang's talent is unmatched, not only among this year's freshmen but also in the entire outer academy. Such a genius is destined to attract the attention of the academy's higher-ups, and his future is limitless. Even if we can't befriend him, we certainly can't afford to be enemies with him. Do you really want our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to have such an enemy for no reason in the future? Besides, you were the one who provoked him this time."

"You think so highly of Yu Tianhuang, you wouldn't happen to have fallen for him, would you? I saw you in the classroom earlier..." Wu Feng lowered his head uncomfortably, clearly very concerned about this issue, but dared not look Ning Tian in the eye.

In the end, her voice was barely audible, and she bit her lip tightly.

Ning Tian frowned slightly. Although she was young, those from prominent Soul Master families tend to be precocious. She could vaguely guess some of Wu Feng's thoughts.

"Fengmei, you're overthinking it. We're still young, and the future is full of uncertainties. Besides, it was only the first time I met him, how could I possibly fall in love at first sight?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng immediately revealed a relieved smile, but Ning Tian's next sentence instantly froze her smile, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"However, Yu Tianhuang is indeed a perfect choice. You know that I will inevitably inherit the position of sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future, and my future partner must be a powerful soul master. Feelings can be cultivated over time. As long as Yu Tianhuang's talent and strength remain outstanding among his peers in the future, what's wrong with me taking the initiative to pursue him?"

Wu Feng's face turned pale, and just as he was about to say something, Ning Tian interrupted him.

"You rest here for now, I'll go to the cafeteria and bring you some food."

After saying that, she left the room, leaving Wu Feng staring blankly at the door.

She longed to catch up with him and express her feelings, but she didn't have the courage.

What hindered her was not only their master-servant relationship, but also the unbreakable taboo.

Chapter 68 Ya Lu

Compared to Class 1 of the freshmen, the first day of classes for Class 9 of the freshmen was relatively easy.

Each person only needs to engage in one actual combat match; the rest of the time is spent watching.

Those special students who lack combat abilities, such as those specializing in healing, support, and food, were each assigned a Soul Master teammate by Mu Jin for two-on-two combat. This ensured that everyone had at least one real combat experience.

After a morning, more than half of the students in Class 9 of the new students had completed the practical combat exercise.

"get out of class dismissed. We'll meet again in the Soul Arena this afternoon. I hope no one will be late." Mu Jin looked up at the sun, which had moved directly overhead, and as she finished speaking, she glanced intentionally or unintentionally in the direction of Xu Zihuang and Tuoba Yu.

Tuoba Yu couldn't help but whisper, "We're doomed, Teacher Mu is probably keeping an eye on us."

"So what if they've got their eye on us? Teacher Mu isn't going to act like the freshman class's homeroom teacher, expelling students all the time." Xu Zihuang was quite calm, lazily stretching his body as he walked towards the exit of the Soul Fighting Zone.

After demonstrating his strength in the battle against Wu Feng, fewer female students wanted to approach him than before.

Among Soul Masters, strength has always been paramount. After learning of Xu Zihuang's astonishing talent and strength, the female students would inevitably feel somewhat inferior.

After all, the vast majority of them had a soul power cultivation level of no more than level 20, and they weren't even confident of passing the freshman assessment three months later. They were from completely different worlds from Xu Zihuang.

Xu Zihuang was quite happy with this, calmly dealing with the only two pretty female students who came over to talk to him.

These two were among the few Great Soul Masters in Class 9 of the new students, with soul power cultivation exceeding level 20. Judging from their words and actions, they were mostly from noble families, completely lacking the restraint of commoner Soul Masters.

"Squad leader, which country are you from?"

"Heavenly Soul Empire".

"We all come from the Douling Empire. In a way, we are all compatriots."

"..."

Tuoba Yu silently followed behind Xu Zihuang, feeling utterly superfluous at that moment.

After much effort, Xu Zihuang finally managed to get rid of the two men.

"Women are such a hassle."

When Tuoba Yu, who arrived later, heard Xu Zihuang's words, he felt completely distraught.

What else could he say?

Mu Jin's get out of class ended a little early. When the two arrived at the cafeteria, the line for food was filled with students from Class 9 of the freshmen. The spacious cafeteria seemed quite empty.

Inside the cafeteria are the food purchase windows, each displaying its price. There are eight windows in total, offering different dishes, with prices increasing from right to left.

When it comes to daily needs, Xu Zihuang never demands much of himself. He naturally ordered the most expensive dishes.

A bowl of tender stewed Scaled Crocodile meat, a plate of steamed century-old Ice Bear paws, and a clear soup made from a whole flying spirit beast. Served with a large bowl of crystal white corn rice.

This meal cost him more than thirty gold soul coins.

Carrying his tray, Xu Zihuang sat down opposite Tuoba Yu, who stared in disbelief. Before coming to Shrek Academy, his family had given him ample living expenses, but nothing like Xu Zihuang's extravagant spending. A single meal could easily cost dozens of gold soul coins.

Of course, the meal he bought wasn't bad either, and it even used quite a few ingredients from soul beasts, but it was still rather meager compared to Xu Zihuang's.

Just then, a series of footsteps approached from afar.

Xu Zihuang looked up and saw two female students from Class 9 carrying trays walking towards them.

One of them was Nanmen Yun'er. The other girl, who was shorter than Nanmen Yun'er but had a proud figure and short black hair, was someone he remembered sitting on the other side of Nanmen Yun'er in the classroom.

The girl's name is Ya Lu, and she happens to be Tuoba Yu's opponent in actual combat. She is also a Soul Master of level 20 or above.
