Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 34 Class Zero is established
After having breakfast in the cafeteria of Donghai College after a long absence, Chen Zhou, who had just entered the classroom, received a notice from each first-grade class to hold a meeting in the playground.

Chen Zhou, who knew the meaning of it, did not say anything. He followed the team slowly and took out a book about the precision manufacturing of soul guides and started reading it out of boredom.

Zhang Yangzi was not among the students in Class One, Grade One, and Wang Jinxi had a bandage on his hand. It seemed that the injuries caused to these little guys in the last promotion match were quite serious.

As the final Class of Year 5 arrived, at the front of the procession, not only Dean Long Hengxu was present, but also Dean Yu Zhen himself. After a slight nod to Dean Yu Zhen, Long Hengxu announced loudly, "Today, we are convening an interim first-grade meeting to make two main announcements. First, given the unique circumstances of this year's first-grade class, the winning class will no longer participate in the subsequent promotion tournament. The first-grade rankings will be adjusted according to the promotion tournament rules. That is, the former Class 5 will be reclassified as Class 1, and the rest of the classes will follow the same rules."

This news immediately caused an uproar among the crowd, especially the students who had just become Class 1, Grade 1. No longer participating in the promotion competition meant that they could not get extra rewards by challenging the next level, which was undoubtedly a huge blow.

Long Hengxu announced, "In view of the outstanding performance of the freshman class in this year's promotion competition, the academy has decided to reward the entire class with one Grade A meal every day this semester."

As soon as these words were spoken, the initial commotion instantly turned into cheers. What did "Class A Meal" mean? It was a tonic! Not only was it delicious, it was also immensely beneficial to their cultivation. For most families, Class A Meal was an unaffordable luxury, but providing it free for the entire class for a semester was undoubtedly a tremendous benefit.

At this time, Ye Yingluo, who had been transferred to be the head teacher of Class 2, Grade 1, looked increasingly gloomy and was obviously in a bad mood.

Long Hengxu shouted loudly: "Quiet!"

Faced with the director's shout, the cheers gradually subsided.

He continued, "In view of the outstanding performance of this year's first-year students, the academy's board of directors has decided, after careful consideration, to establish a pilot class in the first grade to select the most outstanding students. This class is tentatively named First-Year Class Zero, and will be taught by Teacher Wu Changkong. Students for Class Zero will be selected from existing classes, and six students have been selected so far. Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue from First-Year Class One, and Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, Wei Xiaofeng, and Chen Zhou from First-Year Class Two will join Class Zero. In the future, any equally outstanding students from this grade will also have the opportunity to join Class Zero."

Class 1, Grade 0?

What's happening here?
The students present couldn't help but feel confused. In the history of Donghai College, there had never been a "zero class" before, let alone with Wu Changkong as the homeroom teacher. What exactly did this mean?
It seems that Wu Changkong agreed to his plan.

Chen Zhou closed the book and looked at Wu Changkong who was at the front of the team. His eyes, like a calm lake, did not show the slightest fluctuation.

Tang Wulin, Wang Jinxi, and Wei Xiaofeng all shared expressions of surprise, their gazes meeting simultaneously. Wei Xiaofeng's eyes were filled with hatred and resentment, while Wang Jinxi's gaze was fixed on Tang Wulin with a complex expression.

Obviously, the five people in front of him were not like Chen Zhou, who had a personal meeting with Long Hengxu and was informed of the specific matters.

Obviously, in Long Hengxu's heart, Chenzhou still holds a great importance.

Wu Zhangkong still had that expressionless face. After the board of directors made the decision, they informed him, but...
Wu Changkong couldn't help but look at Chen Zhou. The two of them happened to look at each other. When their eyes met, Chen Zhou slightly raised the corners of his lips, while Wu Changkong had no expression.

But before the two could make any contact, Long Hengxu heard a serious announcement: "In addition to the two notices, there is also a penalty decision. In yesterday's promotion match, the students from Grade 1 Class 1 and Grade 1 Class 2 failed to uphold the principle of 'friendship first, competition second,' resulting in three students being seriously injured. We are now severely reprimanding the six students who participated and depriving them of any rewards they might have received as a warning to others."

Deprive rewards?

Even if you win the promotion competition in the same grade, you will only be promoted to a higher grade, and there seems to be no substantial reward.

Although Long Hengxu's words were harsh, the actual punishment was not severe.

It's just a show, with lots of noise but little action. "Dean, what do you want to say?"

Long Hengxu whispered to Yu Zhen beside him for instructions.

Yu Zhen nodded, not intending to be polite at all, and said loudly: "Classmates, you must be curious about why Class Zero, Grade 1, was established. This is because the personal abilities of several selected students are far superior to those of their peers. If they continue to be trained in ordinary classes, their talents will be buried. This reminds you that if you want to shine in the future, you must put in more effort. I hope that more of you can join Class Zero and become the best talents of Donghai Academy. Okay, dismissed, each class teacher will lead the students back to class. The class teacher of Grade 1, Class 1 will be temporarily served by Director Long Hengxu until a new class teacher is selected. Teacher Wu Changkong and several students from Grade 1, Class 0, please stay."

In surprise and envy, the five first-grade classes returned to the classroom one after another, leaving only the dean and the teachers and students of the newly established first-grade class zero on the playground.

"Children, come here."

Yu Zhen waved his hand.

Despite some reluctance, Tang Wulin and the other two joined Wang Jinxi and Wei Xiaofeng. Even Wei Xiaofeng didn't dare act presumptuously in front of the dean, but the atmosphere between the two sides was clearly discordant.

Chen Zhou didn't follow him. Instead, he moved closer to Wu Changkong and asked with his head tilted, "Teacher Wu, please give me your guidance from now on~"

Wu Zhangkong glanced at Chen Zhou and snorted in annoyance, but in the end he did not offend Chen Zhou. After all, it was Chen Zhou who made the first concession. No matter how angry he was, he would not lose his temper at a child.

"If you really want to learn, I will teach you."

Looking at the cold Wu Changkong, Chen Zhou shrugged indifferently and did not intend to respond.

On the other side, Yu Zhen completely ignored the conversation between Chen Zhou and Wu Changkong. After all, Chen Zhou was special.

Instead, he looked at the five children in front of him with a hint of dissatisfaction, frowning slightly, and said in a cold voice: "You guys are so capable! Do you think you are amazing just because you stand out among your peers? Look at you, what have you become? Two of the five of you have broken arms, and there is even a broken leg in the classroom."

The five people were a little dazed by the scolding. They didn't expect that the dean would give them a harsh reprimand right from the start.

Yu Zhen continued sternly, "I've already told you the purpose of establishing Class Zero. It's to prevent you from being delayed. But you little brats, put away your arrogance and behave yourself, or else don't blame the academy for being rude. I'm warning you, if you repeat yesterday's situation, expect to be punished. Don't think you're gifted. I tell you, that's like looking at the world from a well. There are many people in the Federation who are better than you."

"This world has never lacked geniuses, nor has it ever lacked geniuses who died young. For a genius to become a great talent, they must put in far more effort than the average person. Only in this way can they live up to their talent. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

Under the powerful aura of the dean, the five of them were unable to raise their heads.

"Sign this agreement."
