Aside from Class 5, the rest of the advanced classes at the academy were also noticing something unusual about Class 1...
"Hiss... This new teacher is so ruthless! Fortunately, he isn't teaching our advanced division!"
"Right, after this all-out brawl, all the students from Class 1 will probably need to head to the infirmary!"
"I had thought that this handsome male teacher was quite gentle at first, but now it seems that's not the case at all!"
Liu Yuxin, who had a fleeting encounter with Xu Sheng, watched him intently with her beautiful eyes shining, and secretly thought, "Has he... really become a teacher?"
The girl beside her suddenly patted her shoulder and asked suspiciously, "Yuxin, what are you daydreaming about? Could it be that you're smitten by this male teacher?"
Liu Yuxin hurriedly shook her head and said, "No... not at all, I was just thinking about something!"
She knew all too well how obsessed her friends were with the aloof and godly Wu Changkong, the homeroom teacher of Class 5!
Of course, she was no exception!
Hearing this satisfactory response, the girl next to her spoke with earnest emphasis, "That's good, we must not betray Teacher Wu. Although he might not look as suave now, his strength remains the strongest among East Sea Academy's teachers!"
Liu Yuxin, with a helpless smile, merely humored her with a "Yes, yes, yes!"
...
At this moment, Xu Sheng, with his arms crossed, was smiling down at his students who were exhausted and covered in injuries...
"I can't... fight anymore! So tired!"
"This whole scene is so chaotic! And who was that sneak who kicked my butt!"
"You still have the nerve to say that! I had just been about to make a move when I got hit with a control-type soul skill! Damn it!!"
"It's so shameful, just too shameful. Now the whole student body of East Sea Academy must know how pitiful our first class situation is."
Xu Sheng seemed to ignore their wails, and spoke softly, "Do you have some understanding of each other's Martial Souls and soul skills now?"
Hearing this, the students all nodded. Although they did not dare to claim that they knew every student's Martial Soul, at the very least, they remembered those that had left a strong impression on them!
Seeing he had achieved his goal, Xu Sheng glanced upwards at the students from the advanced and intermediate divisions...
He said indifferently, "Very good! Let's go to the cafeteria then, have an 'A' meal, eat whatever you want, my treat!"
After all, it wasn't coming out of his own pocket!
And he believed that considering the character of East Sea Academy's Dean, he probably wouldn't mind the loss of those few federation coins!
...
But no sooner had they left the class than they heard a call from behind them...
"Teacher Xu, please wait a moment!!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Sheng knew right away that it was Long Hengxu. As he stopped and leisurely turned around...
Seeing the out-of-breath Long Hengxu, Xu Sheng asked in wonder, "Director Long, is there something you need from me?"
No sooner had Liu Yuxin left than Long Hengxu came. Xu Sheng even wondered if Tang Wulin would be next to look for him!
However, before Long Hengxu could even open his mouth, Tang Wulin, who had noticed Xu Sheng from afar, hurried over...
With an excited expression, he said, "Teacher Xu! I... Director Long, you're here too!"
His voice deflated a bit when his eyes landed on Long Hengxu beside him...
And as his prediction came true, Xu Sheng, somewhat speechlessly pursed his lips and sarcastically thought, "Did they coordinate this together?"
Director Long naturally noticed Tang Wulin as well and said with a light laugh, "Ah, it's Student Tang Wulin. It seems you were also looking for Teacher Xu?"
Tang Wulin saw that Long Hengxu actually used such a friendly tone, swallowed, and cautiously said, "Uh! Right..."
Long Hengxu immediately let out a chuckle and said, "Ah... Since that's the case, you guys go ahead and talk first; I'll come find Teacher Xu afterward."
Hmph! Lucky that the dean had told me in advance about this Tang Wulin's relationship with Teacher Xu!
It seems indeed true; the two of them obviously know each other!
Having said that, he quickly turned around and left...
Xu Sheng glanced at the departing figure of Long Hengxu and turned to Tang Wulin in front of him, "What's up, did you come to find me for something all of a sudden?"
He simply couldn't think of any reason Tang Wulin would come to find him.
At the same time, while teaching a class of students, Xu Sheng glanced at them with his dark eyes and said, "Alright, that's all for today. Class dismissed!"
Upon hearing this, the students all came back to their senses...
One of the male students wiped his forehead and took a deep breath, "Phew! It's finally over! Just listening to this lesson got me so excited that I started to sweat!"
Another female student agreed, "Me too, Teacher Xu's teaching style is completely different from other teachers, it just makes you fall deeply into it without realizing!"
"The weirdest thing is, I actually understood everything we went over today, down to the last word. It's simply amazing!"
After giving several generous praises, the students greeted Xu Sheng and then chose to leave...
Seeing that the classroom had become empty, Xu Sheng also prepared to leave...
It was at this moment that a youthful voice came from outside the door...
"Teacher Xu!"
Needless to say, it was none other than Tang Wulin, who had rushed over as quickly as he could after the class was dismissed!
Seeing the out-of-breath newcomer, Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Hm? How did you get here so early?"
He had been thinking that Tang Wulin would go to the cafeteria to grab a meal first; it seemed he had underestimated the importance of the Blacksmith Association in his heart!
Hearing this question, Tang Wulin scratched his hair somewhat shyly, "Hehe! In order to head to the Blacksmith Association earlier in the afternoon, I ate about more than twenty buns for lunch."
His appetite was already astonishing, twenty buns were practically just a couple of bites for him!
Xu Sheng laughed, "Twenty buns, that's quite an appetite, though I don't know how you managed to eat them."
That's probably bigger than his own stomach, right?
Tang Wulin blushed and switched topics, "Let's not talk about that now. Teacher Xu, let's hurry to the Blacksmith Association so we can come back earlier!"
Xu Sheng did not refuse but simply smiled casually, "Sure."
Since the other party had greeted him with a smile, it wouldn't be polite for Xu Sheng to refuse, so he extended his hand for a light handshake and said with a gentle smile, "East Sea Academy Intermediate Division teacher, Xu Sheng."
Upon hearing this, surprise suddenly blossomed in Mo Yu's turbid eyes...
Confused, he said, "A teacher from the East Ocean Academy? Young friend, aren't you a forging master?"
He had clearly witnessed the metal being forged with his own eyes, blow by blow...
But now he was being told that the other party wasn't a forging master, but rather a teacher at the East Ocean Academy, how could he accept this!
Xu Sheng shook his head, negating, "Not really, I've just come to get a glimpse of what the profession of a forging master is like. Now I have a general understanding."
Yun Xiaoling, looking helpless, then said to Mo Yu, "Master Mo, I remember I already told you before, Mr. Xu is forging for the first time!"
