－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Yes, Tang Wulin was doing just that. In his eyes, Xie Xie was no longer a person, but a piece of metal being forged by him. His heart gradually entered that ethereal state of forging. Xie Xie's original dazzling movements seemed to slow down, and everything appeared to have a discernible pattern.

The thousand-forged tungsten steel hammer swung out in this situation, blocking Xie Xie's attacks twice in a row.

Before Xie Xie could launch his third attack, a gust of ill wind slammed into him. Tang Wulin struck again with another heavy hammer blow. The ear-splitting whooshing sound alone spoke volumes about the sheer weight behind it.

Xie Xie dodged frantically, but Tang Wulin had already spread his twin hammers, smashing towards him like a storm. In an instant, the whistling hammer wind kicked up dust and forced Xie Xie to retreat step by step.

Guanglong's dagger didn't dare to clash head-on. He was a Agility Attack Soul Master, and even if the opponent relied purely on strength, his Soul Weapon's power couldn't be fully unleashed. In terms of sheer power, there was a huge difference.

With a flash of his figure, Xie Xin instantly retreated, widening the distance between him and Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin didn't pursue; in fact, he couldn't have caught up even if he tried. He instinctively stopped his twin hammers, but his eyes remained slightly narrowed as he stared intently at Xie Xin.

This jerk! Xie Xian cursed inwardly. His eyes began to sharpen as well.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Xian's expression became solemn. He moved his right hand, which was holding the Guanglong dagger, slightly to the side, and simultaneously raised his left hand. His entire bearing suddenly changed, becoming even more powerful in an instant.

His toes barely touched the ground before his figure shot upwards again, leaving a faint afterimage in the air this time. His speed was at least thirty percent faster than before.

Driven by his spirit energy, Tang Wulin wielded both hammers simultaneously!

Xie Xie leaped into the air, his right hand's Light Dragon Dagger gently touching Tang Wulin's Thousand Tempering Steel Hammer. With a burst of power, he flipped over and instantly swung his left hand towards Tang Wulin.

With a soft "poof", a bloodstain appeared on Tang Wulin's back.

A sharp pain instantly yanked Tang Wulin from his ethereal state. He stumbled, a searing fire erupting in his back. At the same time, a surge of heat erupted from his spine.

Tang Wulin was not surprised but delighted. Golden scales were about to appear

Only when attacked will the golden scales truly appear

But as soon as he stood firm, the surge of heat within him quietly subsided. It didn't rise with the same scorching intensity as last time, directly manifesting into golden scales and overwhelming power.

"Stop!" Wu Changkong didn't know when he had appeared in their midst, calling a halt to the match.

"Congratulations to Xie Xi!"

Xie Xi glanced at Chang Xu, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. He had finally won! He had finally triumphed once. Tears welled up in his eyes. However, the strange golden scales of that man hadn't appeared. Could it be that he was still hiding his strength Or perhaps, just like him, he couldn't control those scales

Wuchangkong turned to Xie Xie and said, "You are responsible for compensating Tang Wulin for a school uniform."

"Uh..." Didn't I win Shouldn't there be a reward Xie Xi only felt his vision darken. Why did Tang Wulin, this guy, always make me spend money!

Why!

The dance instructor looked around at all the students, and coldly said, “The competition is over. You know, what impression did you give me”

"It's useless to carve wood that has already rotted!" The aloof male god answered himself directly.

"No wonder you were put in Class Five, you're all trash. But even if you're a pile of scrap metal, I will forge you into steel. You saw the competition just now, what was Tang Wulin's martial soul The so-called useless Blue Silver Grass, yet he made it to the finals and almost won."

"It was I who won, wasn't it!" Xie Xian felt a surge of grief and indignation in his heart. How could he lose to me like this

Wu Changkong didn't care what they thought. He continued, "He relies on more than just the Blue Silver Grass, he also has his physical abilities. Perhaps some of you think that physical strength is only useful at this stage. Once everyone's soul power increases and we have more soul skills, it won't be useful anymore. But I tell you, you don't even have the qualifications to think about things like having more soul skills. Ask yourselves, how many of you can reach the level of having a second soul ring How many of you can have more soul skills Your body is your own. What can a powerful physique do"

"Soul power is no longer the entry threshold for mecha pilots. Powerful energy storage soul guides allow ordinary people to become mecha pilots as well. However, a strong physique is definitely the foundation of a mecha pilot. Without a good body, you will not be able to withstand the impact inside the mecha and the high-intensity combat. Therefore, considering your weak martial souls, starting from tomorrow, our class will conduct physical training. Every morning, physical fitness, and in the afternoon, theoretical knowledge. That's all for today's lesson. For today's competition, think about it carefully after you go back. The afternoon theory class is about meditation. Dismissed!"

This was the longest speech the aloof male god had given as class teacher. There was no teaching involved, just a statement of facts. Whether it was about them being trash or announcing the special ability training, his tone was undeniably firm.

"Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, the two of you come with me." With that last sentence, Wu Changkong turned and walked toward the teaching building.

Is there a reward Xie Xian's eyes lit up instantly. Before coming to the academy, he had heard that competitions held in the academy generally came with rewards, and the rewards were quite good. He was the champion, the champion of Class Five. Master Wu was so powerful, what kind of reward would it be His mind had already begun to daydream.

Wu Changkong led the two of them to his office. His office was pitiful, only ten square meters. Apart from a desk, a bookcase, and a chair, there wasn't much else in it.

"Just now, when I was trash, that included the both of you!" The cold and aloof god's first words completely extinguished Xie Xihe's good mood.

Shouldn't there be some reward At least it's a little encouragement.

Wu Changkong looked at Tang Wulin, “Your performance today is acceptable, but you haven’t fully unleashed your potential. Your Blue Silver Grass should be mutated, more resilient than ordinary people. However, your soul power is too weak and you can't hold out for long. In this situation, as long as your opponent's soul power surpasses yours, you won't have much chance. What about those hammers of yours”

Tang Wulin said helplessly: “I have learned forging.”ss.”Tang Wulin was kicked in the head, flew backward over two meters and landed with a thud, covered in dirt."You bunch of scoundrels!" He rolled on the ground, then sprang up and charged towards the...
