Chapter 41 Oranges
Xuan Ziwen and Kong Xuan had told each other that if they encountered any problems at the academy, they should come to him for help.
But Kong Xuan was doing quite well in the academy and had become a "celebrity" by now, so naturally he didn't need to bother his senior uncle.
So this is his first time visiting Xuan Ziwen's laboratory.
He guessed that the girl in front of him, who seemed to be making a soul tool, was probably Xuan Ziwen's student or something, since his uncle came to the academy as a teacher.
Kong Xuan waved the access card in his hand and said with a smile, "Xuan Ziwen is my martial uncle. He gave me this access card. Are you his student?"
Upon hearing this, the girl lowered her guard and casually tucked the soul-guided carving knife back into the tool bag at her waist.
She tilted her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "You are... Kong Xuan?"
Kong Xuan nodded: "It seems that my martial uncle has told you about me."
The girl smiled and said, "The teacher mentioned you."
She stepped down from the soul guidance control panel, came to Kong Xuan, extended her hand, and said gracefully, "My name is Ju Zi, and I am Teacher Xuan's disciple."
Kong Xuan was taken aback when he heard this, and out of courtesy, he raised his hand and lightly touched her fingertips.
He never expected that the girl standing in front of him was actually an important character from the original story.
Although Ju Zi doesn't have high talent for cultivation or strong abilities, she is a very important character.
He will become the Crown Princess of the Sun Moon Empire, and then the Empress and God of War.
This seemingly innocent young girl later spearheaded the attack on the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.
If it weren't for the intervention of the Sea God Tang San, she would have achieved the "great feat" of unifying Douluo Continent!
At the same time, there are many things worth mentioning about her, because she is deeply involved with Huo Yuhao, the protagonist of this world.
For example, they conspired with Huo Yuhao to murder her husband, Xu Tianran.
For example, she gave birth to a son for Huo Yuhao, who later became the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire and eventually unified the Douluo Continent.
It can be said that oranges are destined to occupy a prominent place in the history books of later generations.
In a flash, Kong Xuan came to his senses and asked, "Where did you go, Uncle-Master?"
"The teacher went to Mingde Hall to get the materials, but he should be back soon."
Orange's clear voice asked, "Do you need to see the teacher?"
"Um!"
Kong Xuan gave a brief reply, her gaze falling on the soul guide core she had just carved.
Orange noticed his gaze, and her eyes lit up slightly: "You also study soul tools?"
Kong Xuan shook his head: "I'm a student in the Soul Master class, and I haven't learned about Soul Tools yet."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Orange's eyes; she had thought she could have a chat.
Just then, the laboratory door, which had been closed not long ago, opened again, and Xuan Ziwen appeared in their sight.
Xuan Ziwen looked at the two people in front of him with some surprise, then smiled and said, "It seems you already know each other, so I don't need to introduce you."
As he spoke, Xuan Ziwen turned his gaze to Kong Xuan: "It's rare for you to come here. What brings you here?"
Kong Xuan didn't waste any words and said directly, "This semester is about to end, so I came to ask if my senior uncle is going back to the Hall of Offerings with us."
"Of course, I promised the teacher I would personally take you back."
When are you going back?
Kong Xuan had already calculated the time and said, "The day after tomorrow afternoon."
Xuan Ziwen nodded: "Okay, I'll pick you up from the dormitory the day after tomorrow afternoon."
Having confirmed the time with his martial uncle, Kong Xuan had achieved the purpose of his trip.
He didn't stay in the lab long afterward, since he wasn't a Soul Master and wasn't interested in these metal lumps.
...
Ren Jun's pointer struck the lectern with a crisp sound, and the soul guidance screen above displayed the data of each student.
Today's class is also the last class of this semester.
"After a semester of study, I have seen all the hard work of my classmates."
"Your efforts have not been in vain; you have all just seen the improvement in your various metrics."
"As a newly formed Soul Master class, I sincerely want to say that you are no worse than those students from Shrek Academy, and in my eyes you are even more outstanding!"
Ren Jun's words came from the bottom of his heart, and this was an outcome he hadn't anticipated before taking over as coach at Riyue.
Let's not even talk about Kong Xuan, the super genius in the class; he's completely outmatched by everyone else.
But even excluding Kong Xuan, there are many other outstanding students in the class.
After a brief compliment, Ren Jun's expression turned serious again.
"Although the holidays are just around the corner, your teacher hopes that you will not slack off during the holidays. Cultivation is a process where you start slowly and gradually progress..."
Listening to Ren Jun's words, Kong Xuan suddenly felt as if he had returned to a classroom in another world.
Before the holiday began, the teacher was urging them to study hard during the break.
In another world, Kong Xuan would be lucky to finish his holiday homework; studying was out of the question.
However, things are different in this world, where the strong are respected. After awakening his martial soul, Kong Xuan has never relaxed his cultivation.
"The National Soul Master Class Competition will be held within a month after the start of the next semester!"
Ren Jun had already informed them of this news beforehand.
For this competition, the students formed teams of three, and they were all eager to compete in the next semester.
After a semester of study, they felt that their abilities had improved significantly, and they needed this competition to prove themselves.
However, Ren Jun's next words shocked everyone.
"After the Soul Master Class Competition ends, the classes will be adjusted based on the performance of each group across the country, and new experimental classes will be formed."
"I will be the homeroom teacher for the experimental class, and I hope everyone will be there then."
After Ren Jun finished speaking, a sense of urgency suddenly arose in the hearts of the students in the classroom.
Even students who weren't initially enthusiastic about winning now felt a strong desire to win.
After all, no one wants to be the one who gets eliminated.
Ren Jun's gaze swept across the students' faces in the classroom, and he was very satisfied with the fighting spirit in their eyes and the determination they revealed.
"get out of class dismissed!"
As Ren Jun's figure disappeared from the classroom, the semester's studies were officially over.
The students left the classroom in twos and threes, but they weren't thinking about how to spend their holiday leisurely; instead, they were thinking about how to improve their skills during the holiday.
In the afternoon, four figures gathered in the lobby on the first floor of the dormitory building, preparing for their impending farewell.
Xu Tianyi took off his school uniform and put on a gorgeous purple and gold outfit, with the royal family crest embroidered on the collar, exuding an aloof and noble air.
His gaze swept over the three of them, and he slowly said, "I will spend my holidays cultivating in the Prince's Palace."
Xu Wei seemed to realize something and looked at him with some concern, asking, "Is your brother up to something again?"
Xu Wei was initially somewhat envious of Xu Tianyi's prince status, but after witnessing Xu Tianyi almost being killed by his own brother in the Soul Arena, that envy vanished instantly, and now he was worried about his safety.
When his brother was mentioned, Xu Tianyi's expression turned even colder, and he shook his head and said, "He wouldn't dare to do anything in the Prince's mansion."
Xu Wei felt a little relieved upon hearing this, but Kong Xuan reminded him, "Even so, you can't let your guard down. After all, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark."
Xu Tianyi looked at Kong Xuan and nodded heavily, keeping those words in mind.
Seeing that the others were looking at him, Xu Wei smiled and said, "I'm all alone, so I'll just stay at the academy during the holidays. There's no shortage of cultivation resources here."
For Xu Wei, an orphan, there were no other choices.
Seeing Xuan Ziwen already standing at the dormitory entrance, Kong Xuan simply said, "Ling'er and I have also gone home. See you next semester."
Kong Xuan and Kong Ling waved goodbye, then walked out of the dormitory building and came to Xuan Ziwen's side.
Xu Tianyi glanced at Xu Wei beside him: "The people from the Prince's Mansion will be here to pick me up later. I hope your performance next semester won't disappoint me."
Xu Wei extended a finger, the lightning dancing at its tip reflecting on his calm face: "Don't talk big. We'll see who's the real deal next semester!"
