Chapter 1304: Did Tang Wulin and Two Others Skip Class? (Subscribe Please)_1

After arriving in the classroom, Xu Sheng's gaze swept over the seated students and discovered, to his surprise, that Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue were missing!

The thought couldn't help but arise in his mind, "Is this... skipping class?"

This was the first time he had seen Tang Wulin and the others skip his class...

While he was pondering, the students in the class noticed his arrival and excitedly said, "Teacher Xu, today we noticed that you and Teacher Shen came to class together. It seems that rumor is indeed true!"

"Hey, Teacher Xu actually got taken down by the White-haired Witch; it's such a pity."

"Yeah, I also think that the White-haired Witch's fiery temper is not a match for Teacher Xu!"

Xu Sheng said indifferently, "Everyone be quiet. Today we're not studying theoretical knowledge but practical combat instead."

He had yet to witness the actual combat abilities of these kids!

Upon hearing this, one of the male students said with delight, "Practical combat? Practical combat is great! It's much more relaxing than boring theoretical studies!"

Another male student gave him a look and replied abruptly, "Practical combat is good? I think you've never been beaten. Wait until you're beaten black and blue, then you'll know what pain is!"

"Honestly, as a support class Martial Soul, I really don't want to engage in practical combat!"

"If we don't engage in practical combat, then what's the use of learning theoretical knowledge? Only by combining the two can we maximize the improvement of our own strength!"

"But our entire class has thirty or forty students. If we all duel at the same time, we might be seen as monkeys by students from other classes!"

Xu Sheng smiled faintly, "Don't worry, everyone. I've specially applied for the use of Shrek Academy's battle arenas."

He had gone to apply to the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion yesterday and had quickly obtained approval...

Of course, this also had to do with Xu Sheng's own powerful strength and mysterious identity!

Wei Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, exclaiming in surprise, "My God, Teacher Xu, that move of yours, to directly take over all the battle arenas at Shrek Academy?"

Wang Jinxi took a sharp breath, "Hiss... As expected of Teacher Xu, to have such great influence even in Shrek Academy! Dominating the entire battle arena... tsk tsk."

Zhang Yangzi licked his lips, "Just the thought of it is exciting, to have the vast battle arena all to ourselves!"

Xu Xiaoyan said with a face full of regret, "It's just a pity Tang Wulin and the others aren't here. What a shame! Eh!"

Immediately afterward, Xu Sheng led the entire class of students to the Shrek Academy's battle arena for practical combat...

Although Tang Wulin and the others were absent, he couldn't just cancel the class because of that!

That wouldn't be fair to these kids!

...

At this moment, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue were holding brooms, sweeping the trash on the ground...

Because of this, other students passing by intermittently glanced at them with mocking and disdainful looks...

They would occasionally say out loud, "Look at those three, they must be work-study students, otherwise, why would they be sweeping the floors in the outer courtyard!"

"Especially that girl, with such beauty, and yet she's a work-study student; it's so strange!"

"Let's go quickly. Didn't you see that guy in the middle glaring at us all the time? Bad luck!"

"Let him glare, I just despise work-study students, pah!"

These words were deliberately meant to demean Tang Wulin and the others, making them seem less than others!

Unable to bear these rumors and disdainful words, Xie Xie slammed the broom onto the ground and scolded Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, "I say, how long do we have to keep cleaning the outer courtyard? This is so embarrassing!"

He really shouldn't have believed Tang Wulin's nonsense and accepted such a ridiculous task!

Seeing this, Tang Wulin sighed helplessly, bent down to pick up the broom from the ground, and said to Xie Xie, "Xie Xie, do you think I want to sweep the floor? If we don't do this, where do we get the money to eat? Are you going to give it?"

He didn't want to be gawked at like a monkey, but, it's no joke that a hero is stumped by the lack of a single penny!

At those words, Xie Xie's entire face became somewhat mottled, yet he knew what had been said was true!

Although the entrance exam and registration fees were waived, maintaining basic living expenses still required money!

With that, Xie Xie stiffened his neck and scoffed, "Worst comes to worst, we'll just borrow some from Xu Xiaoyan!"

Gu Yue's beautiful eyes shimmered as she mercilessly pointed out, "Come on, aren't we here cleaning the outer courtyard just because you didn't want to accept Xu Xiaoyan's charity?"

The emphasis on the word "charity" made her tone even more forceful...

Xie Xie retorted, "I say, Gu Yue, can you blame me? I really can't stand the way Xu Xiaoyan looks at us when offering charity!!"

Xie Xie was inherently proud and arrogant; when had it ever come to the point that he needed to be the subject of someone else's charity! Especially from the closest of companions!

Tang Wulin complained, "She's just showing sympathy, and you're the one who takes it as charity! Stop yapping, and start sweeping already!"

Having said that, he tossed the broom back to Xie Xie...

Catching the broom subconsciously, Xie Xie clenched his teeth tightly, clearly still angry...

Seeing that Xie Xie was not moving, Tang Wulin rolled his eyes and soothed, "Don't worry; once this period is over, I will find time to forge some things to sell!"

He had still secretly practiced his forging, and his skills had improved a lot! Sustaining the basic livelihood for the three of them wouldn't be a problem!

Xie Xie's eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "Wulin, you can forge, too?"

Gu Yue also cast a puzzled look, clearly unaware of this fact!

Tang Wulin was taken aback for a moment before scratching his head and saying, "Didn't I tell you guys? Mu Xi from the Skysea Alliance tournament, she's my senior sister!"

He vaguely remembered that he might have mentioned it on purpose, or maybe they had forgotten about it!

Seeing Tang Wulin admitting it himself, Xie Xie suddenly became overjoyed, fawning, "That's great! That's so great; Wulin, you are indeed our savior!"

He definitely did not want to sustain his life by cleaning the outer courtyard in the future; he couldn't afford to lose that pride!

Gu Yue beside him nodded and chimed in, "Yeah! Wulin, we'll be counting on you from now on."

Tang Wulin's mouth twitched, "You mean... I'm supposed to support three people by myself??"

Xie Xie and Gu Yue really did have thick skins, being able to say such things without a hint of embarrassment!

He had merely mentioned being able to lend them some money, but now it had turned into unconditional support!

Brilliant, simply brilliant!

Xie Xie coughed, hastily interrupting, "Alright, alright, let's stop complaining about this and just get sweeping!"

With that, he began to sweep with great energy...

Tang Wulin forced a smile, "Xie Xie, weren't you just not in the mood to sweep a moment ago?"

Then, he turned his gaze firmly toward Gu Yue, only to see her silently lowering her head, pretending not to see him...

Great, it looked like both of them were planning to mooch off him!
