Chapter 48 Kong Ling: You two come at me together!
Before the morning mist had even dissipated, people were already coming and going outside the bronze gates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
It's back-to-school time again. After a month-long holiday, the college is bustling with activity once more.
"Squad leader!"
"Squad leader!"
...
After entering the dormitory building, such shouts rang out one after another, with different voices intertwining in the corridor.
Kong Xuan nodded subconsciously in response.
In just one semester, Kong Xuan has won over all his classmates with his abilities and personal charm.
Their repeated calls of "class monitor" were entirely sincere and heartfelt.
As I approached the door marked "1006," I found it ajar, and I could hear the sounds of rummaging through drawers coming from inside.
Pushing open the door, I found Xu Wei bent over, seemingly searching for something.
Hearing the door open, Xu Wei looked towards the doorway, his face showing excitement: "Brother Xuan, you're finally back!"
Xu Wei opened his arms and ran towards Kong Xuan.
He was still wearing the academy's uniform, sweat beading on his forehead and a few strands of hair clinging to his forehead, and he was about to crash into Kong Xuan's arms.
Kong Xuan almost reflexively stretched out his arm, his palm firmly against the other's chest, his fingertips able to feel Xu Wei's breathing rising and falling with excitement.
He's not used to hugging and cuddling with men.
Seeing that Kong Xuan had no intention of getting close, Xu Wei stopped trying and immediately put his hands down.
Seeing that the "danger" had passed, Kong Xuan looked at the other person and asked, "How was your holiday?"
Xu Wei stepped aside to let Kong Xuan in, then sat down on the bed and said, "Brother Xuan, I'm telling you, it was the right thing to stay in the academy. Our teacher has been staying there all along."
Kong Xuan knew that the teacher he was talking about was their homeroom teacher, Ren Jun.
As a teacher from Shrek Academy who was recruited by Sun Moon Academy, Ren Jun was practically all alone here. If he didn't stay at the academy, he really couldn't think of anywhere else to go.
Xu Wei continued, "After the holiday started, I found that several people from my class were still at the college, so I teamed up with them to go find the teacher."
"The teacher did not disappoint me. He immediately agreed to our request and promised to guide us in our cultivation during the holidays."
"So this month was equivalent to a month of classes for me."
Xu Wei wore a confident smile, his eyes seemingly filled with anticipation for the future.
"I feel incredibly strong right now. When I run into Lao Xu, I'm going to give him a good beating this time!"
Hearing Xu Wei's boastful words, Kong Xuan didn't offer much comment, but he felt that he was in for a good show.
...
There weren't many people in the cafeteria at lunchtime. The four of them sat around a metal square table in the corner.
Although there was no agreed-upon time for returning to school, all four members of their group arrived in the morning, so they arranged to have lunch together.
The steam from the Blazing Spirit Beef Soup rose in a golden mist, and the rich aroma of the century-old earthworm tendon filled the mouths of the group...
Of course, it's important to have a balanced diet with both meat and vegetables, and the refreshing taste of Lingzhi Baicao Hui (灵植百草荟) is enough to cut through the greasiness.
In other words, the Soul Master class has its own canteen. If it were to be with the Soul Guidance Department, those Soul Masters would probably be green with envy.
The food in the Soul Master class cafeteria is not cheap; it's all highly nutritious.
Even if the students don't cultivate seriously, just eating these things every day would probably increase their soul power by one level in a semester.
"Brother Xu, did your brother cause you any trouble during the holiday?"
Xu Wei put down his chopsticks and took a sip of soup.
Xu Tianyi maintained his cold, expressionless face, and after thinking for a moment, said, "He wanted to spar with me, but I refused."
"Bang!"
Xu Wei slammed his hand on the table and said to Xu Tianyi, "That's right! He's older than you and stronger than you. What's the point of sparring? I think he just wants to use the opportunity of sparring to attack you."
Xu Tianyi shook his head: "He wouldn't dare to be too unruly at home either."
Even if I don't dare to go too far, beating you up would be fine, right?
Xu Tianyi didn't say anything after Xu Wei's words, which was taken as tacit agreement.
In other words, he changed under Kong Xuan's influence; otherwise, given his previous personality, he would not have refused his brother's "challenge," after all, such things had happened quite often before.
Xu Wei finished the soup in his bowl and let out a satisfied burp: "If you ask me, we should spar with people of similar strength."
As he spoke, he stared at Xu Tianyi, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.
"How's it going, Brother Xu? Your holiday training is over, shall we check the results?"
Xu Tianyi said expressionlessly, "It seems you're quite confident?"
"Of course!" Xu Wei said with a hint of provocation in his eyes, "Just tell me if you dare or not!"
"What is there to be afraid of!"
Xu Tianyi has never backed down when it comes to fighting!
He was also eager to see how much Xu Wei's strength had improved during the holiday.
Kong Ling had finished eating by then and chimed in, "Count me in! Count me in!"
Kong Xuan looked at the group and said with a smile, "Since you all want to test your strength, let's go straight to the Soul Arena."
After lunch, the four of them headed to the Soul Arena together.
With just the right number of people, they easily secured the right to use a small arena.
In the arena, Xu Wei rubbed his hands together, watching Xu Tianyi with anticipation.
In his eyes, he had only one opponent.
Xu Wei was certain that he could never beat Kong Xuan, the class monitor. As for Kong Ling, although he had higher soul power, he was somewhat confident. After all, he was not as effective against Xu Tianyi as he was, and his close combat ability was not as strong, nor was his defense as high.
However, Xu Wei felt a little embarrassed to hit a girl, and he was also afraid that hitting his younger sister would attract the attention of his older brother.
Xu Tianyi stretched his limbs, knowing how difficult Xu Wei was to deal with, but he had also thought of many ways to break through, and this was a good opportunity to test them.
Kong Xuan stood aside, looking like he was watching a show.
Just as the two were about to agree to start fighting, Kong Ling suddenly spoke up.
"You two wait a minute!"
Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei both looked at Kong Ling at the same time, their eyes filled with questions.
Kong Ling tilted her head back, looking at the two of them with a mysterious air about them.
Just as the two were about to ask a question, Kong Ling finally spoke up: "I am now a second-ring Great Soul Master!"
Kong Ling originally thought that after she said those words, Xu Tianyi and Xu Wei would at least show a shocked expression.
But to everyone's surprise, neither of them showed any change in expression, as if they already knew about it.
Kong Ling was very dissatisfied with their reaction and immediately said, "Hey! What's wrong with you two? Aren't you surprised at all?"
Xu Wei shrugged and said, "What's so surprising about that? Sister Ling, your soul power had already reached level 20 when you were on vacation, so it's normal for you to acquire a soul ring during your vacation."
Xu Tianyi nodded, agreeing with Xu Wei's point of view.
Children of Kong Ling's age are bound to be somewhat competitive and vain.
Her thoughts were simple: as the second person in the team to become a Great Soul Master, she was content just to see the surprised expressions on her teammates' faces.
But to my surprise, even such a "small request" could not be fulfilled!
"snort!"
Kong Ling snorted coldly: "Now I am already a Great Soul Master, and my strength has increased the most."
"Next, let's have a fight. Both of you, come at me together!"
