Chapter 68: Jin Xi Drops Out of School (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Seeing Mu Xi's expression change and finally turn red with embarrassment, Ouyang Zixin's eyes flashed with surprise: "Mu Xi, what are you thinking about? You should like Xiao Xuan too, right?"

"No!" Upon hearing this, Mu Xi hurriedly denied it, but a few blushes could not help appearing on his exquisite and beautiful smiling face.

"is it?"

Ouyang Zixin stared at Mu Xi suspiciously, suspecting that she was lying. As Mu Xi's best friend, she was too familiar with her personality and habits.

Looking at Mu Xi who was saying one thing and thinking another, Ouyang Zixin's lips curled up slightly with a beautiful smile: "That would be the best! I can have little brother Xiaoxuan all to myself."

Hearing this, Mu Xi was extremely depressed, but her delicate face was calm. She glared at Ouyang Zixin and said, "You value love over friendship!"

"Mu Xi, what are you talking about?"

"I said you value women over friendship."

"Say it again."

Hearing this, Ouyang Zixin immediately pounced on Mu Xi and started tickling her.

"Ha ha!"

Mu Xi was shocked and couldn't help laughing, while also launching a counterattack.

The two girls suddenly started making a mess and their clothes fell off, revealing their beautiful spring scenery. Unfortunately, no one saw this exciting sight.

……

On the other side, Liu Yixuan shook his head and prepared to leave the playground, but he found Tang Wulin who was in a daze, so he walked over and asked curiously: "Tang Wulin, what are you doing?"

Hearing this, Tang Wulin came back to his senses, looked at Liu Yixuan with a complicated expression, and said, "Nothing."

Although the other party said this, Liu Yixuan could clearly see that Tang Wulin was not saying one thing and thinking another.

This guy is clearly still thinking about the beautiful senior schoolmate Ouyang Zixin!
However, he did not expose her, but just smiled and said, "Would you like to have dinner together?"

Hearing this, Tang Wulin shook his head dejectedly and said, "No, I'm full."

Hearing this, Liu Yixuan immediately showed a look of shock: "What did you eat to make you full?"

He didn't expect that Tang Wulin, who was always greedy, would not eat breakfast.

This is not like Tang Wulin's style!
At the side, Tang Wulin looked at Liu Yixuan speechlessly, thinking: Don’t you know why I am full after eating?

"I'm going to the classroom first."

Shaking his head, Tang Wulin quickly ran to Class 5.

Liu Yixuan was confused, but soon put the matter behind him.

He went to the cafeteria to eat a special meal, and then went to the classroom.

At this time, Wu Changkong and other students had already arrived here.

Seeing Liu Yixuan coming, Wu Zhangkong motioned for him to sit down at his seat, and then said: "You performed well on the Soul Ascension Platform this time, so I gave each of you a high score, mainly because you all did what you were supposed to do, and did it just right..."

"This shows that your three months have not been wasted. From now on, you are considered a complete team."

As he spoke, Wu Zhangkong asked everyone to summarize their performance. This was their routine after each training session on the Spirit Ascension Platform.

After finishing the summary, Wu Changkong asked Liu Yixuan some more questions.

Liu Yixuan gave perfunctory answers when he could, and when he couldn't answer, he said that it was a secret of the Spirit Pagoda. Wu Changkong was speechless after hearing this.

"Okay, that's it for today's summary."

"Because the spiritual energy you have absorbed has reached the limit of what your body can bear, you don't need to go to the spiritual platform for the time being. The practical class continues, everyone follow me."

Having said that, Wu Zhangkong turned around and left Class Zero classroom. Liu Yixuan and the others looked at each other and immediately followed him.

When Liu Yixuan heard Wu Changkong say that there were still practical classes to take, he didn't care, but Zhang Yangzi and others had a headache.

What they hate most is the practical class, because in this class they have no choice but to get beaten because of their lack of strength.

However, Wu Changkong had made his decision, and Zhang Yangzi knew that he couldn't change it, so he had to go ahead with it.

The six people followed Wu Changkong and came directly to the academy trial hall.

This is a place specially used for students to practice their soul skills in actual combat, because soul skills can be destructive, and here there are soul guide shields for protection, so destructive effects are not likely to occur.

"Are we being demoted?"

After entering the trial hall, Zhang Yangzi whispered to Wang Jinxi beside him.

The Trial Hall was usually used by ordinary classes. They had seldom been here since they joined Class Zero. Apart from Wu Changkong's individual instruction, the most important practical training was also conducted on the Spirit Ascension Platform.

After all, that’s where the real pressure lies, as well as a myriad of different soul beasts.

Hearing this, Wang Jinxi glanced back at Zhang Yangzi and said, "You talk too much nonsense!"

"Uh..." Hearing this, Zhang Yangzi was stunned and didn't know what to say.

My good friend, what happened?
Did he change his mind?

……

Wu Changkong found the teacher in charge of the trial hall and called for a piece of space.

This is a standard trial site, with a diameter ranging from thirty to fifty meters.

The entire trial hall has three floors, and each floor has four trial venues of different sizes, which are usually used by students of all grades.

Wu Changkong wanted the venue on the third floor because no other classes were using it and the environment was very quiet.

The venue is fifty meters in diameter and is very wide.

Wu Changkong led six people into it.

Liu Yixuan glanced at Wu Changkong and asked, "Teacher Wu, is it still the same as before, with five of them fighting against me alone?"

Hearing this, Wu Changkong shook his head and said, "No, your opponent this time is me."

"You six are against me alone. This time I will go all out, using my martial soul, soul power, and soul skills. Remember, this is not the Soul Ascension Platform. You have no chance of resurrection, and I may not be able to hold back. So I hope you will go all out and don't hold back. Do you understand?"

As he spoke, Wu Zhangkong gave Liu Yixuan a meaningful look.

If there was no monster like Liu Yixuan, he might have suppressed his strength to the second ring, but if he suppressed his strength now, he would not be honing this little guy, but being honed by these little guys.

Liu Yixuan was too powerful. He single-handedly killed a hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and obtained an external soul bone. If he suppressed his strength, Wu Changkong felt that he might not be his opponent's match.

After hearing Wu Changkong's words, everyone's eyes widened. They really didn't expect that Wu Changkong would actually take action himself.

And he did it with all his strength.

What's going on?

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Wu Zhangkong did not explain anything and said directly: "Get ready, the competition will start soon."

As he spoke, he released his martial spirit, and a blue light flashed in his hand, and a light blue long sword appeared. At the same time, six soul rings of yellow, purple, and black rose up, causing Wu Changkong's momentum to reach its peak in an instant.

The black soul ring is a symbol of strength, but Wu Zhangkong has two of them, which surprised everyone.

The terrifying aura spread from Wu Changkong, making Liu Yixuan and others feel an indescribable pressure in an instant.

But the next moment, golden rays of light burst out from Liu Yixuan's body, and his aura spread like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. As his blood and qi circulated, the pressure was instantly offset by his aura.

"Line up!"

Liu Yixuan shouted loudly, and the six people in Class 0 immediately came to their senses and quickly formed a triangular battle formation.

Liu Yixuan and Gu Yue stood in the middle, with Tang Wulin in the front, Xie Xie on the right, and Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi on the left.

"Begin!" Following Wu Changkong's loud shout, Tang Wulin moved instantly.

A blue light flashed on his body, and a deep yellow soul ring appeared.

A small golden light of the soul also emerged. Compared with before, its body became a bit thicker and its aura became stronger.

Tang Wulin activated the blood of the Golden Dragon King. Golden scales covered his right arm and his right hand also turned into a golden dragon claw.

As his blood began to circulate, his aura surged and he instantly resisted the pressure from Wu Changkong. He stepped hard with his right foot and rushed out like a cannonball.

After approaching Wu Changkong, the first soul ring on Tang Wulin's body flashed, and his first soul skill was activated. Countless blue silver grasses swarmed out from his body, and he pounced towards Wu Changkong in front of him like a giant python choosing its prey.

Seeing this, Wu Changkong remained expressionless. He pinched the tip of the Tianshuang Sword with his left hand and shook his right hand lightly. The Tianshuang Sword popped out and rays of light bloomed like blooming flowers.

The first soul skill, Frost Mark!
Instead of relying solely on swordsmanship, he used his soul skills right from the start.

The powerful pressure from the Six-Ring Soul Emperor was overwhelming, but Tang Wulin gritted his teeth and endured it, still controlling the entanglement and launching it. At the same time, blue silver grass appeared in front of him, circling up, and turned into a shield-like existence to defend against the outside world.

Frost Mark fell on the blue silver grass, and each strand of blue silver grass was cut in an instant. Countless sword threads broke through Tang Wulin's defense and pounced towards him.

Seeing this scene, Tang Wulin hurriedly waved the Golden Dragon Claw, trying to block Wu Changkong's attack.

At this time, Liu Yixuan also activated his two thousand-year soul skills. Two golden lights fell from the sky and landed on Tang Wulin. The four-fold increase in strength made his momentum surge instantly.

At the same time, countless small fireballs fell from the sky.

This was Gu Yue launching his own elemental attack to provide long-range assistance to Tang Wulin.

Wu Changkong's sword thread rushed over like a torrent, then was weakened by Gu Yue's fireball, and then was cut apart by a claw of Tang Wulin, whose strength increased dramatically.

Seeing this scene, Wu Zhangkong was a little surprised, but didn't think much about it.

Looking at Tang Wulin rushing towards him, he took a step back, avoiding the opponent's golden dragon claw, then stabbed out with the sword in his hand quickly, and the sword pointed at Tang Wulin's shoulder. The first soul ring flickered, and sword energy burst out. In an instant, a terrifying momentum blew Tang Wulin away, causing his blood to churn all over his body. For a while, he had no way to continue fighting.

At this time, Xie Xie had already circled behind Wu Changkong and launched his second soul skill - Double Dragon Storm - on him.

Feeling the attack from behind, Wu Changkong thrust out his sword without looking back. A terrifying sword light burst out, and in an instant, Xie Xie's Double Dragon Storm was destroyed by this sword. He was also knocked away by the sword thread with powerful soul power. He lay on the ground, feeling severe pain all over his body, and was unable to get up.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yixuan and the other three were quite surprised. They didn't expect Wu Changkong to be so powerful that he could take out their two teammates with just a few sword strikes.

At this time, Wu Changkong had already arrived at Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, and stabbed out with the sword in his hand at a rapid speed.

In an instant, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi felt a terrifying chill coming.

He looked at Wang Jinxi standing beside him, and the other party understood instantly. The two had practiced together for such a long time and they still had a very tacit understanding. They almost held each other's hands at the first moment, and black light shone on their bodies at the same time.

Martial Soul Fusion Technique——Dark Eagle Dragon!
The dark aura surged, but a strange scene appeared. Wang Jinxi's aura was significantly stronger, but Zhang Yangzi's aura, which had already merged with it, suddenly became somewhat out of tune. The two of them groaned at the same time and their bodies quickly retreated.

Two points of cold light lightly touched them, and they froze in place, and Wu Changkong appeared.

"What's going on?" Wu Zhangkong looked at Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi in confusion.

He clearly saw the two of them preparing to launch a spirit fusion technique, but they failed in the end.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi also turned pale. They have always known that their own martial souls are not the best, but because of the existence of martial soul fusion skills, they have become true geniuses, and may even become famous strong men in the continent in the future.

But at this moment, their martial soul fusion technique suddenly failed.

This made both of them confused for a moment.

"try again."

Wu Zhangkong withdrew the chill he was exerting on them, took a step back, and spoke calmly.

Seeing this, Liu Yixuan and Gu Yue also looked over curiously.

Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi looked at each other and rushed towards each other again, both of them increasing their soul power to the limit.

Zhang Yangzi opened a pair of eagle wings behind him, stretched out his arms, and hugged Wang Jinxi directly.

On the other side, the same thing happened to Wang Jinxi, and their bodies collided directly with each other.

A low dragon roar came from Wang Jinxi. When Zhang Yangzi's Dark Demon Eagle spirit was about to merge with his Bone Dragon King spirit, they both felt at the same time that Wang Jinxi was emitting a strong sense of rejection, as if he suddenly looked down on Zhang Yangzi's Dark Demon Eagle and forcibly pushed his spirit away.

Zhang Yangzi stumbled and fell to the ground.

The martial soul fusion technique failed again, and Zhang Yangzi felt a little uncomfortable.

He suddenly yelled at Wang Jinxi in anger: "Wang Jinxi, what do you mean? Why don't you merge with me?"

"I do not have it!"

Wang Jinxi hurriedly explained that he wanted to merge with Zhang Yangzi in his heart, but the moment the two came into contact, his martial soul suddenly went out of control and began to reject Zhang Yangzi's martial soul.

"Zhang Yangzi, calm down. This is not something Wang Jinxi can control."

"Then what's going on?"

Hearing this, Wu Zhangkong was silent for a while, and said: "Jin Xi's martial soul must have mutated, causing your martial souls to not be compatible enough to perform martial soul fusion skills, so this situation has occurred."

Hearing this, Wang Jinxi looked at Tang Wulin, and for a moment, his eyes became complicated.

There is no doubt that his martial soul mutation was due to Tang Wulin.

During this period, the two practiced together, and his cultivation and martial soul were greatly improved, but after the improvement, his martial soul was somewhat inferior to Zhang Yangzi's martial soul.

On the other side, Zhang Yangzi also thought of the answer to the question. He looked at Wang Jinxi with a complicated expression and left angrily.

"Yangzi."

Wang Jinxi opened his mouth, feeling extremely painful and conflicted.

Wu Zhangkong glanced at Tang Wulin, then said to Wang Jinxi, "It seems that Tang Wulin's bloodline is not without side effects on your improvement. Although his bloodline aura has increased your cultivation speed and improved the quality of your martial soul, it has made it impossible for you to perform martial soul fusion skills with Zhang Yangzi. This is a disadvantage."

"You should now think carefully about the two directions you should take. Is it to develop your martial soul fusion skills or to evolve your own martial soul?"

Hearing this, Wang Jinxi's face looked conflicted and painful.

Tang Wulin looked at Wang Jinxi and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't know this would happen."

Hearing this, Wang Jinxi shook his head and said, "Don't blame you. No one expected this to happen."

"Teacher Wu, if I separate from Wu Lin, can I recover?"

"it should be OK."

Hearing this, Wang Jinxi said, "Okay, I won't practice with Wu Lin anymore."

Wu Zhangkong said: "I will adjust the location of your dormitories and try to separate you two."

"Thank you, Teacher Wu."

After that, Wang Jinxi had no interest in attending class.

Wu Changkong then announced the disbandment and asked everyone to leave.

A few days later, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi dropped out of school together.

Because he couldn't avoid Tang Wulin's influence, his bloodline not only affected his martial arts, but also seriously affected his psychology. As long as he stayed in Donghai College, he would always want to practice with Tang Wulin. Although this would improve his martial arts and practice speed, it would seriously affect the martial arts fusion skills between him and Zhang Yangzi, and affect their relationship.

In the end, Wang Jinxi chose Zhang Yangzi. After all, the two were good friends who grew up together, and their relationship was much better than that of Tang Wulin, who came in halfway.
