Chapter 74 - Before Departure

In the blink of an eye, the Skysea Alliance Grand Competition was approaching.

On this day, at the end of Class Zero's lesson, Wu Zhangkong said, "We'll depart for Skysea City tomorrow, so make your preparations."

Despite having been mentally prepared for this, Xie Xie still asked, "Teacher Wu, what are we going to Skysea City for? To observe the Skysea Alliance Grand Competition?"

Wu Zhangkong shook his head and said, "Not to observe, but to participate."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie immediately wore an expression of 'as expected' and then asked, "Teacher Wu, if we're participating in the Skysea Alliance Grand Competition, what competition will we be entering?"

"Naturally, the Soul Master Competition." Wu Zhangkong said coldly, "Alright, I'll tell you the rest of the information when we arrive in Skysea City. Class dismissed. Jing Shaoyu and Tang Wulin, stay behind."

Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie could only leave first.

Wu Zhangkong looked at Jing Shaoyu and Tang Wulin, who had stayed behind, and felt a sense of emotion. He said, "Jing Shaoyu, you will represent the Mecha Association in the Designer Competition, and Tang Wulin, you will represent the Forging Association in the Blacksmith Competition. The Mecha Association and the Forging Association have already submitted applications to the academy, is that correct?"

Jing Shaoyu replied, "That's right, Teacher Wu."

Tang Wulin also nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher Wu, will it affect our Soul Master Competition?"

Wu Zhangkong said, "I've already checked, the Soul Master Competition and the sub-occupation competitions are scheduled at different times, so there's no impact. The academy has already approved the applications from the Mecha Association and the Forging Association. Tomorrow, you will go to Skysea City with the academy, and when you arrive, you can report to your respective associations."

"Okay." Jing Shaoyu nodded in agreement and then asked, "Teacher Wu, are we participating in the individual and five-person team Soul Master Competition?"

"Yes." Wu Zhangkong nodded and said, "The Skysea Alliance Grand Competition is very large in scale, and it can be considered one of the largest competitions within the Federation system. We will represent East Sea Academy and participate in the Youth Group competition. The Youth Group competition is mainly divided into individual, three-person team, five-person team, and seven-person team competitions. We will mainly participate in the five-person team competition. Individual participation is not mandatory, and I won't object if you want to participate in the three-person team competition.

Jing Shaoyu, as the captain, even if you have to participate in the Designer Competition, you must consider the team competition more. Remember, our goal is the championship!"

"I understand, Teacher Wu." Jing Shaoyu replied without changing his expression.

When Tang Wulin heard the conversation between Wu Zhangkong and Jing Shaoyu, he couldn't help but think of Xie Xie's words earlier, and his face turned bitter.

"Tang Wulin, you also need to coordinate the time between the Blacksmith Competition and the Soul Master Competition," Wu Zhangkong reminded Tang Wulin, "Remember, being a Soul Master is the foundation of everything."

"I know, Teacher Wu." Tang Wulin's spirits lifted, and he immediately replied loudly.

Wu Zhangkong waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can leave."

After Jing Shaoyu came out, Xu Xiaoyan, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie immediately surrounded him.

"Captain, Wulin, what did Teacher Wu say?" Xie Xie asked impatiently.

"Teacher Wu said that we will participate in the individual and five-person team competitions." Jing Shaoyu said with a smile.

"Yes, Teacher Wu also said that our goal for the five-person team competition is the championship." Tang Wulin added.

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Xie Xie immediately showed the same bitter expression as Tang Wulin earlier and said, "Isn't that request a bit too much?"

Jing Shaoyu frowned slightly and said sternly, "Don't make that useless expression! Although our age isn't an advantage, our strength and talent are here. Me, a ten-year-old Soul Grandmaster, Xiao Yan and Gu Yue, Great Soul Masters with Double Millennium Soul Rings, Wulin, a Soul Master with a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and you, Xie Xie, a Great Soul Master with Twin Martial Souls. I don't believe there's a team in the Skysea Alliance with more talent and strength than us! So, the championship should rightfully be ours!"

Jing Shaoyu's words were firm and spirited, not only restoring Xie Xie's confidence but also filling everyone else with fighting spirit, their eyes full of confidence and fearlessness.

"Come on!" Jing Shaoyu extended his right hand.

The others immediately understood. Xu Xiaoyan reached out and placed her hand on Jing Shaoyu's hand, followed by Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, while Gu Yue silently placed her hand below Jing Shaoyu's hand.

"Let's work hard together!"

The five of them shouted in unison.

Wu Zhangkong saw everything that happened outside and felt proud of this slightly immature team. These were the students he had brought out, and they would surely make a name for themselves in Shrek Academy in the future!

The next day.

Class Zero's homeroom teacher Wu Zhangkong and Dean Long Hengxu led the five members of Class Zero to the central square of East Sea City. Here, Jing Shaoyu and the others saw the team from the Senior Department of East Sea Academy. They would represent East Sea Academy in the Youth Group competition. The leader was none other than Xu Xiaoyan's older brother, Xu Xiaoyu.

"Jing Shaoyu, protect Xiao Yan!" Xu Xiaoyu deliberately passed by the Class Zero team and threatened Jing Shaoyu.

His actions made Gu Yue frown, her face gloomy, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie felt puzzled and curious, Jing Shaoyu felt helpless, as for Xu Xiaoyan, her reaction was very amusing.

She waved her hand dismissively and said, "Brother, you should take care of yourself. Don't fail to pass the preliminaries again!"

Xu Xiaoyu's face stiffened, and he said, "Impossible. We will definitely achieve good results this time. We are all Soul Grandmasters with Three Rings or more!"

Xu Xiaoyan curled her lips, her face full of disbelief.

East Sea Academy had been unknown in the Skysea Alliance Grand Competition for several sessions. Xu Xiaoyu's team participated in the Junior Group seven-person team competition three years ago, but they didn't even pass the preliminaries, which was simply embarrassing. This was also the main reason why the Academy's board of directors decided to establish Class Zero.

Xu Xiaoyu was despised by his own sister, and his face was a little embarrassed. He had no choice but to mutter words like "This time it will definitely work" and left with his team.

"Xiao Yan, who was that person?" After Xu Xiaoyu left, Xie Xie immediately gossiped.

Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes and said, "My brother, Xu Xiaoyu, a Senior Department student."

"You actually have a brother?!" Xie Xie exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Xiaoyan glanced at him and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

At this moment, a golden ponytail girl ran over and grabbed Tang Wulin's ear, asking fiercely, "Hey, why are you so late?"

"Senior Apprentice Sister?!" Tang Wulin was unhappy being grabbed by the ear, but when he saw that the person was Mu Xi, he could only accept it with a sad face. He said, "I'm not late."

"Hmph! This isn't late? We're about to leave." Mu Xi released Tang Wulin in a timely manner and said, "Go find my dad quickly, or they'll leave."

Tang Wulin heard this and said, "No need, Senior Apprentice Sister. I still have to participate in the Soul Master Competition with my companions. Our teacher told me to report to the Forging Association when I get to Skysea City."

"Participate in the Soul Master Competition? With your level as a One-Ring Soul Master? Can you do it?" Mu Xi questioned with incomprehension.

"Of course we can!" Xie Xie retorted unconvincingly from the side.

"Heh! You're not big, but your tone is not small." Mu Xi said disdainfully, "We will also represent the Academy in the Soul Master Competition. Do you think you will be our opponents?"

As she spoke, Mu Xi also showed her Soul Grandmaster-level strength. She was fourteen years old this year, and reaching this level at this age could be considered a genius.

Xu Xiaoyan also spoke, she said, "Senior Apprentice Sister Mu Xi, you are participating in the three-person team competition, right? We are participating in the five-person team competition, so you should be glad that you didn't meet us, otherwise you would be sent home by us children!"

"Xiao Yan?!" Mu Xi was stunned, and then noticed Xu Xiaoyan standing on the side and Jing Shaoyu next to Xu Xiaoyan. Her pretty face turned red, and she said, "Why are you here too?"

Tang Wulin showed a speechless expression and said, "They are the companions I was talking about, Senior Apprentice Sister. Our Class Zero is going all out this time!"

"Hehe!" Mu Xi said with an awkward smile, "Is that so? Then I wish you good results!"

After speaking, Mu Xi ran away as if escaping. Jing Shaoyu noticed that her face was completely red, probably choked by what she had just said.

After this little episode, the East Sea City team was finally about to set off. The East Sea Academy team boarded bus number six. The seats on the bus were in pairs. Gu Yue flashed directly to a seat, and then silently looked at Jing Shaoyu, the meaning was obvious.

Xu Xiaoyan followed behind Jing Shaoyu, tightly grabbing the corner of his clothes with her small hand. Obviously, she also wanted to sit with Jing Shaoyu.

Jing Shaoyu was in a bit of a dilemma for a moment. His eyes inadvertently caught sight of the ice-cold Wu Zhangkong, and immediately, he had an idea.

"Xiao Yan, you sit with Gu Yue, okay!" Jing Shaoyu brought Xu Xiaoyan to Gu Yue's side, then ignored Gu Yue's gaze and Xu Xiaoyan's bewildered expression, directly pressing Xu Xiaoyan into the seat next to Gu Yue. Then, he quickly sat down next to Wu Zhangkong in the front.

Jing Shaoyu clearly felt that the moment he sat down, Wu Zhangkong relaxed.
