Soul Land IV - The Ultimate Combat

Chapter 43 - Close combat Lan Xuanyu

"No, I'm heading to class." Lan Xuanyu did not wait for Ye Lingtong's reply and immediately rushed into his classroom.

Ye Lingtong frowned. "Lan Xuanyu, you better watch out. Hmph!"

Qiu Yuxin did not reprimand this either, thinking that it was enjoyable and she even chuckled to the child's antics.

Lan Xuanyu was the most excellent student of Class B, while Ye Lingtong was the most outstanding of Class A. The two did not get along very well. Ye Lingtong was only focused on surpassing Lan Xuanyu on various aspects but she had never succeeded in any of them.

The teachers enjoyed watching such competition as they only led to quicker growth. The spirit master institutes were the most open on such an aspect.

The school bell rang for the second time, an indication that classes for the new term had begun. No ceremony was held, everyone dove straight into their classes as it was already the first grader's second term. The first class for Class B was conducted by the homeroom teacher Qiu Yuxin herself.

"I'm sure all of you must have slackened off at work during your holiday. In a while, we will conduct a test to gauge your Spirit Power and Spiritual Power. This will realistically indicate whether or not you have goofed off during the holidays and in the afternoon, we'll have a large class for actual combat. We will be against Class A. There is a reward for the victor, and as for the loser..." Teacher Qiu chuckled in a way as though she harbored malicious thoughts.

Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt a cold shiver down his spine. A fight against Class A? He suddenly regretted refusing Ye Lingtong directly a moment ago, but thinking about how he had improved with Teacher Nana over the holidays, he was not afraid.

"Oh, Xuanyu, Rank 12. That's an improvement, it seems that you didn't goof off. En, your Spiritual Power is good as well; it has improved greatly. 32 points in Spiritual Power, a step away from the Spirit Connection realm. That is very good, worthy of being praised." Lan Xuanyu was the first to be tested by Qiu Yuxin for his Spiritual Power and Spirit Power.

What she did not know was that the test on his Spiritual Power was inaccurate due to the fact that he was distracted because he was controlling the gold and silver vortex within him.

And as Qiu Yuxin had speculated, there were those that had lazed throughout their holidays as their score shows but it's not much of a problem since the Ziluo City Institute was a direct subsidiary of the Heaven Duo Institute, meaning, the students that were enrolled there were naturally talented. More or less, one could say that the whole class still has improved over the holidays.

The class started after the tests. Glancing at Lan Xuanyu who listened attentively in class, Qiu Yuxin sighed inwardly.

With the Innate Full Spirit Body, this child should be the most outstanding among his batch but after a semester, his Spirit Power had only increased by one rank which was too slow. At this rate, hitting rank 20 by the age of 12 would be difficult in the same way as him being able to get into a better school.

Lan Xuanyu listened earnestly in class. The topics that were elaborated by Qiu Yuxin were different from Nana. Nana provided him actual cultivation while Qiu Yuxin dove into its fundamental knowledge.
