After the run, all the zero class students collapsed to the ground, gasping for air...
Wei Xiaofeng patted his chest and said, "Huff... Huff... Finally finished running. Seventy laps, it almost killed me!"
Wang Jinxi also coughed violently and said, "Cough cough... I survived. I never thought... I could run seventy laps! It seems... huff..."
Xie Xie, unable to run away, complained, "If you're gasping for breath, don't talk... careful... careful not to suffocate!"
Zhang Yangzi retorted, "You... you're the one... suffocating... suffocating here."
Gu Yue looked concerned with her beautiful eyes and asked Xu Xiaoyan, who was lying next to her, "Xu Xiaoyan, are you okay?"
Xu Xiaoyan, who heard her inquiry, desperately wanted to respond, "I... I..."
But the words reached her lips and she couldn't utter them...
Now, even breathing felt like a stabbing pain!
Seeing this, Tang Wulin comforted her, "If you can't speak, take a rest first. You managed to hold on without using your Martial Soul!"
Xu Xiaoyan showed a satisfied smile on her delicate face and said with difficulty, "Thank... you guys..."
Wei Xiaofeng waved his hand and said, "No need to thank us, we are all students of the zero class! And it's all Teacher Xu's fault for coming up with such a bizarre test for female students!"
Zhang Yangzi nodded in agreement and said, "That's right! Teacher Xu went a bit too far!"
Suddenly, Xie Xie thought of something serious and said, "But by helping Xu Xiaoyan like this, won't Teacher Xu think it's cheating, and then..."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin inhaled sharply, "Hiss... now that you mention it, that's true! If Teacher Xu doesn't acknowledge it, then we ran for nothing!"
At that moment, everyone realized the seriousness of the issue!
Although Xu Xiaoyan truly finished fifty laps, it was with their help!
Just then, Gu Yue's beautiful eyes saw Teacher Xu approaching and promptly said in a soft voice, "Teacher Xu is coming!"
As soon as these words came out, the students of the zero class quickly helped each other up and turned their gaze to Teacher Xu, who was walking towards them...
Teacher Xu raised an eyebrow and asked indifferently, "Oh? You've all finished running?"
Zhang Yangzi's eyes darted around as he changed the topic, "Of course, Teacher Xu. This time we ran a full seventy laps, perhaps we deserve some praise?"
After saying this, he gave Wei Xiaofeng a meaningful look...
Wei Xiaofeng immediately got the hint and nodded, "Exactly, we were nearly worn out!"
Wang Jinxi also put on a brave face and said, "Teacher Xu, we're not asking for much reward, how about we skip class this afternoon?"
Teacher Xu chuckled, "Skipping class? Do you think that's possible?"
Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoyan felt a bit uneasy...
Although she knew these students, whom she had not known for long, were trying to distract the teacher!
But she was very aware that she had not completed the test on her own!
So, even if the teacher rejected it, she...
With that thought, she bowed her head and said timidly, "Um... Teacher, I..."
Teacher Xu's dark eyes twinkled as he interrupted with a smile, "Xu Xiaoyan, didn't you finish fifty laps? Is there a problem?"
Xu Xiaoyan was taken aback and asked somewhat confused, "Teacher, what do you mean by that..."
Before she could finish, Teacher Xu waved his hand and said, "Well, if there's no problem, then let's go back to class now..."
With that, he turned and walked away...
Watching Teacher Xu leave, Xu Xiaoyan wanted to follow, "Teacher..."
```
But she was grabbed by Gu Yue by the wrist...
Facing Xu Xiaoyan's puzzled look, Gu Yue smiled and explained, "Xu Xiaoyan, what Teacher Xu means is, he acknowledges that you are now a student of Class Zero!"
Upon hearing this, joy spread across her face as she incredulously asked, "Really... really?"
Those excited beautiful eyes then looked towards the other Class Zero students...
Seeing this, the others nodded one after another...
"That's right, just as Gu Yue said, Teacher Xu must have acknowledged you!"
"Yes, Teacher Xu is just like that, probably he guessed that we would help you!"
"Damn it! Although the end result is good, being played by Teacher Xu like this is indeed somewhat annoying!"
Meanwhile, Xie Xie's expression had turned so dark it seemed water was about to drip from his face...
Muttering under his breath, "Teacher Xu's maneuver is simply hair-raising; to think I worried so much, when in fact, he had never even considered it in his heart!"
It made him feel like an idiot!
And Xu Xiaoyan, coming back to her senses from the joy, looked at all the Class Zero students with a very serious tone of gratitude, "Thank you...Thank you, everyone. Without your help, I definitely couldn't have joined Class Zero!"
She also didn't forget to think to herself, "Furthermore... there's also Teacher Xu. I didn't expect him to be so gentle, although his way of expressing it is very easy to be misunderstood."
In just this short period of time, Xu Sheng's image in her heart had undergone a drastic change!
...
After everyone had returned to the classroom and taken their seats, Xu Sheng then spoke up from the podium, "First off, I would like to welcome the new female student who has joined Class Zero, Xu Xiaoyan!"
After he finished speaking, the Class Zero students below all started clapping, "Clap clap clap clap~~~"
Everything that had happened before was enough to earn their applause!
Xu Xiaoyan, sitting in the front row, felt a bit embarrassed by such a grand gesture and stood up...
Her tender cheeks flushed with a bit more redness, as if water could be squeezed from them...
Xu Sheng spoke again, "Now then, as the new female student who has joined us, Xu Xiaoyan, please introduce your Martial Soul to the other students."
Even though he knew that Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul was the Starwheel Ice Staff, he had not seen it in person!
Upon his request, the Class Zero students all looked at Xu Xiaoyan with curious and puzzled eyes, waiting for her response...
Taking a deep breath, Xu Xiaoyan, without any hint of timidity, said, "My name is Xu Xiaoyan, which I believe everyone already knows. I had planned on transferring to East Sea Academy next semester, but due to some reasons, it happened earlier!"
"As for my Martial Soul, it is the Starwheel Ice Staff inherited from my family bloodline. My soul power rank is seventeen!"
After she spoke, she released her Martial Soul...
In her palm, an ice wand exuding a chilly aura quickly condensed out of pale blue Diamond Dust...
Below her feet, a Centennial Soul Ring and a Spirit Soul also appeared!
Elbowing Tang Wulin, Xie Xie taunted, "Seventeen-level Soul Power? Tsk tsk, doesn't that mean you're still the bottom of the class?"
Knowing the truth of his words, Tang Wulin pursed his thin lips and stayed silent...
It was so unfair! He had simply entered East Blue Academy to study, and who knew he would end up in the elite Class Zero!
The key point was that his classmates were all freaks, cultivating so fast!
Could he be blamed??
