Hearing Luo Yanglu's words, the students who had just retreated far away and were now gathering around fell silent.
This wasn't strong enough?
Teacher, how high are your standards? You want to train her in practical combat too?
But seeing that Gu Yuena did not argue and accepted the guidance humbly, the students only felt that the gap between people was indeed vast.
She was already that strong, yet she wasn't satisfied and humbly accepted instruction. Her usual coldness seemed to be just her personality.
Student Huo Yuhao was the same he didn't look down on them because of his high cultivation. He was plain and unassuming, completely different from those who liked to show off as soon as they had a little strength. (Wei Xiaofeng: Are you implying me?)
"I've decided. From now on, Students Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena are my idols!" a student murmured.
If a Four-Ring Spirit Master fought those two just now, could they win?
He didn't think it was possible!
To have such monsters in their own class just thinking about it was exciting.
Xie Xie also put away his shocked expression. Looking at the battered venue, he clicked his tongue.
He felt that from now on, he would never be surprised by any so-called young genius again...
Seeing that Gu Yuena had taken his words to heart and that the other students were also filled with admiration for the two, Luo Yangyu nodded inwardly.
Another purpose of having the two fight was to earn the respect of the others. That way, when he gave Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao some autonomy later, no one else would mind.
"Well then, we'll add some basic combat training for you from now on, to improve your reaction speed..."
After giving a few pointers, Luo Yangyu let Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao cultivate on their own.
He had identified the problems; they could be solved slowly. There was no need to rush. Combat experience couldn't be developed overnight. He would just let these two monsters stimulate each other to improve.
Among this batch of students, the only one who could keep up with Huo Yuhao was Gu Yuena. It was possible that among the younger generation of the Spirit Transmission Tower, only the two of them could serve as each other's rivals.
Thinking this, Luo Yangyu withdrew his gaze and only then realized that there was a chill around him.
What was going on? It felt a bit cold...
Was it the cold air from Gu Yuena's ice cones earlier?
Arriving at a corner of the training ground, Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena. "Thank you for helping to cover for me at the end."
As the one who had controlled that wind-fire tornado, Gu Yuena certainly knew how it had been extinguished. Under those circumstances, her final attack had been ice cones clearly intended to help him conceal something.
Although he didn't care about exposing his second martial soul and had the ability to cover it up himself, he still needed to thank her for the thought.
Gu Yuena smiled and shook her head.
"It was nothing. I did it smoothly."
For ten thousand years, the Ice-Jade Scorpion martial soul had only been possessed by the First Generation Tower Master. This was also the main reason some people suspected that Spirit-Ice Douluo was the Ice Empress.
If it were exposed, Huo Yuhao's identity would be highly suspicious in some people's eyes.
Although Gu Yuena felt that Huo Yuhao probably had a way to conceal it, one thing was one thing. That was his ability. Whether she helped to cover for him was her own affair.
However... having her attentiveness noticed by God King Huo was indeed pleasing.
Gu Yuena: (◍＞◡＜◍)
After a moment of secret delight, Gu Yuena remembered something. "Speaking of which, you..."
"Just call me Huo Yuhao or Yuhao. Don't keep using honorifics. Right now, we're just two little spirit masters without much strength. Let's be natural."
Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head.
"'Without much strength'... you're joking." Even so, Gu Yuena naturally changed how she addressed him. After all, by human custom, this was proof that their relationship had grown closer. "Does that move you just used have a name?"
Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Skydream in the Sea of Spirit said with great vigor and spirit: "Yuhao created one move ten thousand years ago from a state of detachment from the world. During his ten-thousand-year slumber, he created another. Now that he's re-entering the world, he can create a third. Three moves in total together, they can be called the 'Three Absolutes for Annihilating Tang San'! What do you all think? After all, our goal is to defeat the Sea God Tang San!"
"Agreed!" Little Ice Silkworm loudly agreed. "Brother Skydream is mighty!"
"Idiot, it's Brother Yuhao who's mighty!"
"Right, Brother Yuhao is mighty!"
"..."
What Three Absolutes? Why are you so good at coming up with things? Why not call it the 'Three Absolutes for Annihilating Dong'er'?
Well, he didn't have that much ill will toward Miss Wang Dong'er. He was just afraid of running into her. Just a joke.
Thinking about this, Huo Yuhao said to Gu Yuena: "Floating World Painted Frost."
But... Three Absolutes for Annihilating Tang San... maybe he should consider it?
While Huo Yuhao was gradually settling into a normal academy life cultivating, meditating, attending classes, and going to the Mecha Designer Association to improve his secondary profession ,Tang Wulin was also living a similar life.
Until one day, his roommate Xie Xie called him to go to a snack street.
"Xie Xie, what kind of good food is there around here?"
Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie beside him. Although the other was a Class One student, dormitory assignments had already been made. Unless a student strongly requested a change, they wouldn't be reassigned. They were still roommates and had a good relationship.
Previously, President Mu Chen's daughter, Mu Xi for some unknown reason had wanted to compete with him in blacksmithing. She had brought a group of people to block him at the dormitory entrance. Xie Xie had been the one to help him out of that situation.
A good person, cold on the outside but warm on the inside — that was Tang Wulin's evaluation of his roommate.
"You'll know in a bit." Xie Xie waved his hand, not very enthusiastic.
Xie Xie was not in a good mood. He had recently gone home and seen his father looking at him with a regretful expression.
After asking, he found out that his father had long since communicated with the academy, wanting to arrange him into Class Five of the first year to be well trained.
But he had always behaved himself and hadn't caused any trouble at the academy. The two times he had used his fists had been to help classmates. That was why the teaching director hadn't found an opportunity to send him to Class Five.
Knowing this, Xie Xie only wanted to curse.
You don't actually want me to go to Class Five, fight my way up through the Class Promotion Matches all the way to Class One, and then run into those two monsters, do you?
How could you do this to your own son?!
It was under these circumstances that he wanted to go out for a walk and had brought Tang Wulin along.
"I'm a local here. Don't worry — I'll make sure you eat your fill!"
Xie Xie said casually as he pulled Tang Wulin into a stewed pot beef shop. "Eat as much as you want. I'm paying."
Tang Wulin smelled the aroma of beef, swallowed his saliva, and immediately felt his appetite rise. But he firmly shook his head. "No way. This time, I'm treating!"
He had said he would treat Xie Xie to a meal. The reason he had been willing to come out was that he saw Xie Xie was in a bad mood and wanted to accompany him. How could he let Xie Xie pay?
Xie Xie raised an eyebrow, looked Tang Wulin up and down for a moment, and nodded.
"Alright. Since you — such a money-grubber — are willing to treat me, I won't stand on ceremony!"
The shop owner was a middle-aged uncle who was very familiar with Xie Xie. Xie Xie called him Uncle Li. Seeing him bring a friend, he quickly brought out two steaming bowls of stewed pot beef, two bowls of rice, and two small vegetable dishes.
"Eat it while it's hot, Xie Xie."
"Got it."
Xie Xie smiled and started eating and chatting with Tang Wulin.
"How's Class Two?"
