Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 49 The Strongest Control Under the Stars!

"..."

Xie Xie was speechless for a moment; it was the first time he had ever seen someone talk about using connections so confidently.

Jiang Yi, standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle. This Xu Xiaoyan was indeed quite interesting.

In the original novel, Xu Xiaoyan's personality is like this: she looks like a quiet young lady, but she is actually a cunning little girl.

He's all smiles on the surface, but when he's secretly plotting something, he's incredibly quick, accurate, and ruthless.

If you cut this little girl open, her heart is definitely black.

After exchanging a few more words with Xu Xiaoyan, the two returned to their respective dorm rooms. It had been almost two months since they had been back to school, and it was time to tidy up their belongings.

"Come on."

Before leaving, Jiang Yi turned back, smiled at Xu Xiaoyan, and waved goodbye.

His dormitory was on the far right, Tang Wuling was on his left, and Gu Yue's room was right next to Tang Wuling's; none of them lived far apart.

"Yeah! I'll try my best!"

Xu Xiaoyan's face lit up with a bright smile, and she raised her little hand and waved.

Once the two figures disappeared at the end of the corridor, she turned around and went back to her room, gently closing the door and leaning her back against it.

"call--"

She raised her hand and patted her chest, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"They all seem quite easy to get along with..."

As Jiang Yi's gentle smile appeared in her mind, Xu Xiaoyan's lips unconsciously curled up.

She had initially worried that the students in Class Zero might be difficult to approach—after all, this was a special class full of geniuses. But now it seemed that everyone was quite friendly.

She used to be a homebody who rarely went out, and her family didn't have high expectations for her. Most of the affairs were handled by her older brother, Xu Xiaoyu.

It wasn't until the mutation of her martial soul caught the attention of her family elders that she was given special training and sent to Donghai Academy.

This was also her first time leaving home and living alone in an unfamiliar environment.

"Xu Xiaoyan, keep it up! You must stay!"

Xu Xiaoyan clenched her small fist and whispered encouragement to herself.

……

The opening ceremony was held as scheduled the following day.

Director Long Hengxu continued his impassioned motivational speech on the stage, while the students of Class Zero stood neatly at the front, receiving the attention of the entire school.

Wu Changkong stood with his hands behind his back at the front of the class.

His gaze lingered on Long Hengxu, who was speaking above, but his thoughts drifted elsewhere.

Yesterday, Long Hengxu forced Xu Xiaoyan into Class Zero.

He was initially unwilling, but after Long Hengxu's analysis of the pros and cons, he relented.

Wu Changkong wants Jiang Yi and the others to participate in the Shrek Academy selection three years from now, and they still need the support of Donghai Academy.

The opening ceremony consisted of the same old platitudes, and the first assembly of the new semester quickly came to an end.

The classes left one after another, and Class Zero returned to their classrooms.

"Hello everyone, my name is Xu Xiaoyan, I am ten years old, my martial soul is the Star Wheel Ice Staff, and my soul power is level seventeen."

At Wu Changkong's prompting, Xu Xiaoyan stood up and gave a brief self-introduction.

"Xu Xiaoyan..."

Sitting below, Tang Wuling blinked her big eyes and curiously looked at her new classmate.

Finally, I'm not at the bottom in terms of soul power anymore...

During the holiday, she gained another level of soul power, and is now at level nineteen. She will soon have her second soul ring.

"Class Zero doesn't have many rules; the only standard is ability!"

Wu Changkong glanced at Xu Xiaoyan indifferently. Although he disliked the practice of using connections, he did not show any prejudice and simply made his request calmly.

"For the next month, you will study just like them, but you need to demonstrate your abilities and prove that you deserve to stay."

"is teacher."

Xu Xiaoyan nodded obediently, smiling sweetly on her little face.

She was fairly confident about this.

"Ok!"

Wu Changkong nodded, gesturing for her to sit down, and then glanced at the whole class.

"We'll proceed with our usual combat training today. Let me see your strength and whether you've improved in the past two months." Jiang Yi and the others nodded in agreement, not surprised at all, as Wu Changkong's teaching almost entirely revolved around practical combat.

However, at this moment, Xu Xiaoyan timidly raised her hand.

"Teacher... could the practical training... be moved to the evening?"

"night?"

Wu Changkong frowned slightly, about to refuse, but then suddenly remembered something and looked up at her.

"Does your martial soul have special abilities at night?"

Wu Changkong asked.

The academy knows his personality, yet they still insisted on sending Xu Xiaoyan to Class Zero, so he must have some special talent.

The most important thing for a Soul Master is their Martial Soul, and Xu Xiaoyan's initiative to fight at night is most likely because her Martial Soul has a special effect at night.

Such situations are not uncommon in the world of Soul Masters.

Star Wheel Ice Staff... Could it be related to stars?
In just a moment, Wu Changkong had already guessed the truth with a high degree of accuracy.

"Ok!"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded, but did not explain further.

Her Star Chains are most effective under the cover of night, and retaining some mystery makes it easier for her to surprise opponents in actual combat.

To stay, you must demonstrate your value at the most opportune moment.

"Alright! Then the actual practice will be held tonight."

Wu Changkong readily agreed. He also wanted to see what kind of surprise this girl could bring.

"Let's do the physical tests first."

Two months of vacation have passed. It may not seem like a long time, but given the growth rate of Jiang Yi and the others, the changes are probably significant.

Only by being familiar with these children's physical data can he develop a reasonable training plan.

"Yes!"

The group followed Wu Changkong to the classroom where the test was to be conducted.

Sure enough, after a series of tests, everyone's data showed a significant improvement, especially Jiang Yi's.

"Three thousand nine hundred kilograms!"

Xu Xiaoyan covered her mouth, staring at Jiang Yi in front of the strength testing device, her eyes filled with shock.

Is this really not a reincarnation of a soul beast?

Wu Changkong narrowed his eyes slightly. Compared to last semester, Jiang Yi's strength had almost doubled, a growth rate that far exceeded his expectations.

Only the legendary Body Sect could possibly possess such a terrifying amplification... Could it be that this kid has a hidden second Martial Soul?

Wu Changkong looked at Jiang Yi with a puzzled expression.

The subsequent mental strength test once again shocked everyone.

Spirit Sea Realm!
At ten years old, Jiang Yi has reached the Spirit Sea Realm, which means that breaking through to the Spirit Abyss Realm in the future is a certainty, and even the legendary Spirit Domain Realm is not impossible.

"So this is Class Zero!"

Xu Xiaoyan bit her red lips, filled with even more anticipation for her future life in Class Zero.

She must try her best to stay in this class!
Wu Changkong felt a long-lost sense of urgency rising in his heart.

It's likely that in a few years, Jiang Yi's mental strength will almost catch up with his, which makes him, as a teacher, both gratified and conflicted.

"Great! It seems your vacation wasn't wasted."

Wu Changkong looked at Jiang Yi and the other three, a hint of satisfaction on his face.

Apart from Jiang Yi, Tang Wuling and the other two have also made progress to varying degrees.

It was Xu Xiaoyan, the transfer student, who made him slightly disappointed.

Xu Xiaoyan's physical strength is extremely poor, almost no different from that of an ordinary person, and her mental strength, which she excels in, is only slightly better than Xie Xie's.

"Tonight's sparring session is against me."

Wu Changkong's cold, clear voice echoed in the classroom.

"This time, I will not suppress my cultivation."

After saying that, he turned and left, his white robes fluttering, leaving behind a cold and aloof silhouette.

He didn't ask anyone about their holiday experiences; all the gains and growth would be revealed in tonight's practical exercise.

He also had a vague expectation of what surprises these children would bring him after nightfall.
