Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Fighting a Fixed Match

The Class Promotion Match was a tradition at Eastsea Academy students from weaker classes would challenge stronger classes, and if they won, they would replace their opponents' position.

Right after the term started, other classes were already preparing for the Class Promotion Matches, but the Class One students weren't worried at all.

What a joke. Even if some geniuses had ended up in other classes for various reasons, could they beat the Great Spirit Master Student Wei Xiaofeng?

And even if they succeeded, Students Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao could still teach them a lesson!

It wasn't fair that only their class got to feel the shock from those two!

With this mindset, while the other classes were nervously conducting practical combat training, the Class One students' mentality was quite relaxed.

However, as the teacher, Luo Yanglu still had to be responsible.

On the training ground, Luo Yanglu took out a box and removed a wristband from it.

"This wristband is a portable soul tool that can test physical fitness. Wear it on your body, and it will provide real-time feedback on your condition and quantified physical values. If your fitness improves, the numbers will also increase."

Luo Yanglu smiled. "Physical constitution is still very important at your stage. Any bit of improvement helps. It will also give you more options when choosing Spirit Souls in the future. And professions like mecha pilot have no low requirements for physical constitution."

"However, training and cultivation are ultimately your own responsibility. I am just a guide. Class time is limited. You need to be self-disciplined."

"I think that being able to clearly see yourselves growing stronger step by step — you won't slack off too much, right?"

The students put on the wristbands with delight. Looking at the quantified physical values ​​on them, Xie Xie sighed inwardly.

So this was the treatment for Class One?

This type of soul tool wasn't even available on the market. He had previously thought coming to this academy wasn't great, but he didn't think that way anymore.

"But be careful your bodies are still developing. Don't force train. This soul tool has an alarm function. Once it triggers, it means you are about to reach a critical point. Stop as soon as possible. Don't injure your body."

"Yes, sir!" ×n

After explaining the precautions, Luo Yanglu began distributing these soul tools.

Gu Yuena took the soul tool and somehow felt it looked familiar. She instinctively glanced at Huo Yuhao's wrist and sure enough saw that he already had one on.

Could it be that this one had invented it?

Thinking this, Gu Yuena put it on and saw the numbers skyrocket, quickly reaching four digits.

"..."

She was, after all, the Dragon King. Even with her current low cultivation, her physical fitness and constitution could not be poor.

Just then, Gu Yuena sensed a familiar spiritual fluctuation. She was skillfully connected and heard a reminder from Huo Yuhao.

"Press the button on the lower left corner and enter the password 3946. You can adjust the numbers yourself. A normal Great Spirit Master's physical fitness is around two hundred."

It turned out to be this one's invention.

Gu Yuena sighed in relief, did as he said, and set it to a normal value.

On Huo Yuhao's side, after receiving a brand new physical fitness testing soul tool and glancing at his own numbers, which had also reached four digits, he directly put it away.

This soul tool was only for a transitional period. Once the numbers reached a certain level, physical constitution could not be improved through ordinary training alone.

He had manufactured this soul tool only because he had gotten some inspiration while researching artificial Spirit Soul bloodline extraction technology and had made it on the side.

After finishing with the soul tools, Luo Yanglu then taught everyone a brand new meditation method — the Spirit Soul Symbiosis Meditation Method.

"This is a meditation method developed by the Spirit Transmission Tower. When practising, summon your Spirit Soul. Use the Spirit Soul contract to establish a special circuit between the two of you, creating a two-way energy cycle that allows the Spirit Soul to help circulate your energy through the meridians. The more compatible your Spirit Soul is with you, the faster you will cultivate."

Looking at the students below whose eyes were shining especially Student Wei Xiaofeng, whose martial soul and Spirit Soul were the same the corner of Luo Yanglu's mouth lifted slightly. "Of course, the version I'm teaching you is simplified. The effect isn't as good."

The students' expressions instantly fell.

Xie Xie, however, said thoughtfully, "Teacher, you wouldn't happen to be from the Spirit Transmission Tower, would you?"

Soul tools, meditation methods with Spirit Transmission Tower characteristics no matter how you looked at it, he didn't seem like an ordinary person.

Luo Yanglu smiled but didn't answer, which was as good as admitting it.

Then, he had everyone try this meditation methos and called Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena over to him.

"Your meditation methods both come from Limit Douluos. They are top-notch meditation methods. You don't need to consider this one."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

He didn't use the meditation method Hua Yichen had applied for.

He used a self-created meditation method, combining ten-thousand-year experience with magical meditation techniques, which could improve the speed of cultivating spiritual power and Extreme Ice. With the addition of Gu Yuena's bloodline influence, the debuff for Extreme Ice from Level 30 to 70 had been completely resolved.

Gu Yuena: "..."

She used a self-created elemental meditation method.

She didn't use the meditation method that Teacher Leng had given her either.

Unaware that the two before him were cheaters, Luo Yanglu thought for a moment and asked:

"Student Gu Yuena, did Her Majesty Tianfeng Douluo's guidance favor cultivation or practical combat?"

"Cultivation."

"Have you been to the virtual battlefield?"

"?"

Gu Yuena looked at Luo Yanglu questioningly.

Seeing this, Luo Yanglu had a general idea.

"Yuhao, have a discussion with Gu Yuena. Just stop when you make your point. I want to make sure some things."

Her Majesty Tianfeng Douluo had entrusted her disciple to their branch's care. They couldn't let her down.

And from what Yichen had said, although there had been some unpleasantness at the beginning, Yuhao and Gu Yuena were now getting along well. If he looked after Gu Yuena a bit, when Yuhao went to headquarters in the future, she would probably be willing to help out a little.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena. She looked back at him, her eyes flickering.

The same thought crossed both their minds: when fighting this one, how much strength should they use?

Being serious was out of the question. They would just have to fight fixed matches to get by.

As the training ground provided for Class One, it was very large. Even if all the students conducted practical combat training at the same time, it wouldn't feel cramped.

But when Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena stood in the center, the other students put down what they were doing and came over to watch.

They were very interested in how strong these two extraordinary geniuses actually were.

Seeing this, Luo Yanglu did not stop. He just looked at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, who were ten meters apart, took out a notebook and pen, and shouted, "Begin!"

Gu Yuena made the first move. Two yellow spirit rings appeared beside her. In an instant, ripples spread through the air. Wind blades condensed instantly, completely sealing off every direction around Huo Yuhao. Seven or eight air blades howled toward him from tricky angles.

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. Three purple spirit rings appeared beside him, drawing exclamations from some classmates.

"A thousand-year spirit ring?" Xie Xie felt the pressure from the spirit rings and clicked his tongue, but also felt it was only natural.

At his age, a Spirit Elder it would be strange if he didn't have a thousand-year spirit ring.

The moment the wind blades approached him, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up faintly. He activated Spiritual Detection. Combined with the Silver Dragon King bloodline's elemental perception and his own experience, he instantly perceived the core of all the wind blades. With a thought —

Crack!

In an instant, all the wind blades shattered and disappeared into thin air.

Gu Yuena's brow furrowed slightly. A cyan light suddenly emanated from her body, and her speed instantly increased to a new level. At the same time, her hands moved rapidly. Clusters of scorching fireballs and sharp ice cones swept toward Huo Yuhao like a raging storm, yet all returned without success.

"How many attributes has she used?" Xie Xie watched with wildly dancing eyebrows. "How can her martial soul control so many elements?"

"But none of it works."

Beside Xie Xie, Wei Xiaofeng's roommate Zhang Yangzi shook his head, his face full of amazement. "Student Yuhao easily neutralized them."

Easily?

Luo Yanglu shook his head inwardly.

It was far from easy.

Elemental attacks were also controlled using spiritual power. Elemental attacks that entered within three meters of Huo Yuhao would have their weakest point by his invisible spiritual power, thereby disrupting Gu Yuena's control and causing them to disintegrate.

This required a level of spiritual control so exquisite it was almost miraculous to achieve. Among the spiritual attribute spirit masters Luo Yanglu knew, only Hua Yichen could do it!
