Chapter 55 The Lottery Turmoil
Donghai College has a tradition called the promotion competition.
The class at the back challenges the class at the front, and the winner takes the place of the opposing class.
The winds of the promotion competition started blowing from Class 5 of Grade 1, and now they have finally reached Class 1 of Grade 1.
In fact, in Meng Xinghe's view, the annual promotion competition is just a hope for those students in the lower classes to work hard and improve.
After all, Donghai Academy's class assignments aren't random.
Normally, the classes ranked higher are stronger than those ranked lower. Donghai Academy has a long-standing tradition of promotion competitions, but the number of successful promotions is very small, and even those cases only involve one promotion.
In the original story, Class 5 of the first year advanced to Class 1 through a series of challenges, which was a complete exception. With a genius who should have been in Class 1, plus the male and female protagonists who were both overpowered, Class 5 of the first year had these three trump cards, so they could win without lifting a finger.
Now, Class 5 of Grade 1 no longer has Wu Changkong as its homeroom teacher, nor its three trump cards. It only has Zhou Changxi, who could have entered Class 4, but was demoted to Class 5 because of his failure to bully his classmates.
Therefore, Class 5's promotion competition was undoubtedly a failure.
Then, Class 4 lost to Class 3, and Class 3 narrowly lost to Class 2.
The three Gu brothers in Class 3, Gu Tianri, Gu Tianyue, and Gu Tianming, are triplets born of the same mother. Despite their impoverished family background, they all awakened their soul power and possessed rare flying martial souls. They also had a soul power level of thirteen when they entered the school.
This talent was enough to get them into Class Two, but the Gu brothers' soul spirits held them back. With only ten-year soul spirits, they couldn't compete with classmates who had similar talents but possessed hundred-year soul spirits, and thus ended up in Class Three.
Similarly, in the promotion tournament, the huge gap between a hundred-year-old soul skill and a ten-year-old soul skill led to the Gu brothers' unfortunate defeat to Class Two.
If both sides are 100-year-old or 10-year-old spirits, the outcome of the promotion tournament will be reversed.
Now, Class Two has successfully defended their title and is about to challenge Class One.
Ye Yingluo, the homeroom teacher of Class 2, was very excited because this meant she would finally be able to meet her long-awaited idol, Wu Changkong.
……
In class, before get out of class ends.
Wu Changkong and Long Bing smiled and looked at their classmates, saying:
"The match between Class 2 and Class 3 ended with Class 2 narrowly winning. In a few days, it will be Class 2's turn to challenge our class, so we need to start selecting the participants."
"Just to clarify beforehand, to ensure our class doesn't fail, students below the Great Soul Master level will not participate in this election."
Upon hearing this, no one had any objections.
The top students in Class Two may be slightly weaker in soul power than the ordinary students in Class One, but their actual combat strength is hard to say.
At the level of a first-ring Soul Master, everyone only has one Soul Skill, their Martial Souls are similar, and their Soul Power levels are not significantly different. Who wins or loses depends entirely on their performance on the day, making it highly uncertain.
There are eight top students in their class, so they don't need to risk making a mess of things by showing off.
At this moment, Xie Xie, one of the eight masters, smiled.
After becoming Gu Yuena's follower, he has been completely transformed.
The twin martial souls of the same kind fused into a top-tier true dragon martial soul—the Time-Space Sacred Dragon. Moreover, after signing the contract, his talents in all aspects were greatly enhanced, especially his cultivation talent and mental strength talent.
His current soul power has surpassed that of Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, and is on par with Wei Xiaofeng, as is Tang Wulin's.
Xie Xie, Martial Soul: Space-Time Sacred Dragon, Soul Power Level 23, Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master.
Wang Jinxi, Martial Soul Bone Dragon King, Soul Power Level 21, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master.
Zhang Yangzi, with the martial soul Dark Illusion Shadow, possesses a soul power of level 21 and is a control-type battle soul master.
Wei Xiaofeng, Martial Soul: Azure Shadow Serpent, Soul Power Level 23, Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master.
Tang Wulin, with the spirit Blue Silver Grass, has a spirit power of level 23 and is a control-type battle spirit master.
The five of them are the lower five of the "Eight Great Gods" in the class. The upper three gods refer to Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena, both Soul Masters, and Xu Xiaoyan, a control-type Great Soul Master with extraordinary strength.
With eight players, any three of them could easily win the promotion tournament.
The key issue is that there are only three spots for this opportunity to shine, but there are eight people to choose from, which is causing a lot of trouble for the teacher of Class One.
Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. There are just too many geniuses, that's why we have this problem. People who don't have any geniuses to work with won't understand.
Wu Changkong's gaze swept around the classroom, his mind constantly considering the situation.
Friendship first, competition second, in the promotion tournament.
Therefore, Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena don't need to participate. It's really too much of a bully for a three-ring Soul Master to face a one-ring Soul Master.
Xu Xiaoyan is the same; her control soul skill is far too overpowered. If she were to participate, Class Two wouldn't even need to compete. How could they possibly fight if they were sealed from the start until the end of the match?
That means there are only five people left to play.
Wu Changkong had an idea. He took out his phone and said:
"Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, and Wei Xiaofeng, the five of you, open the class group chat. I just sent out a lottery app. There are three 1s and two 0s in the lottery pool. The three students who draw the 1 will represent Class 1 in the promotion tournament a few days from now."
In the blink of an eye, Xie Xie and Wei Xiaofeng, both agility-type Soul Masters, quickly took out their phones and opened their class group chat. Almost simultaneously, they opened the lottery app, and then they were dumbfounded.
"Zero! How can it be zero!" *2
Tang Wulin: ...
Wang Jinxi: ...
Zhang Yangzi: ...
The three of them each held a phone in one hand, with their other hand hovering in mid-air, about a hand's width away from the screen.
The lottery pool only had five numbers: three 1s and two 0s. Now that both 0s have been drawn, doesn't that mean... they won by default?
The three lucky people exchanged glances, clicked on the lottery app, and sure enough, the number they drew was 1.
So, the three of them couldn't help but smile.
We're all nine-year-old kids. What kid at that age doesn't like to show off?
Ah, there are still some.
Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena don't like to show off.
Meng Xinghe has lived a long time and is well past the age of showing off; Gu Yuena may be mentally a nine-year-old, but as proud as she is, she doesn't really like to show off.
Meng Xinghe was slightly surprised by the result of the draw.
Perhaps because of the lottery drawn using mobile phones, the trajectory of fate changed. Tang Wulin replaced Wei Xiaofeng from the trio of childhood friends and represented Class One in the competition along with Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi.
The three of them share a strong connection. Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. In the original story, due to the influence of Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline, Wang Jinxi chose the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with his childhood friend over Martial Soul Evolution and transferred to the Sea and Land Academy of the Tianhai Alliance.
Now that the Golden Dragon King bloodline within Tang Wulin belongs to Gu Yuena, the transfer will not happen.
