Chapter 14 Three months
When the get out of class was over at noon, Huan Ling didn't care about Gu Yue anymore. He said hello to Tang Wulin and the others and left in a hurry to go to the Spirit Pagoda to find Baili Hong.
The rare metals he ordered have arrived, fifteen tons of sunken silver and five tons of star iron. Baili Hong told Huanling that a total of 7.8 million federal coins were spent, and Huanling gave them to him directly.
Before Na'er left, she left 20 million federal coins for Huanling. In addition, Huanling's own expenses in recent years were not large, and he also sold a lot of blueprints and soul guides. With the 15 million federal coins that the Soul Tower later supplemented him with, Huanling now had nearly 60 million federal coins in his hands.
After taking the rare metals and putting them all in the storage soul guide, Huan Ling returned to the academy, handed the things to Tang Wulin, and also gave him the blueprint so that Tang Wulin could start making time for forging.
Tang Wulin's forging speed was not slow, it could even be said to be very fast. In addition, Huanling's design and production speed was also very fast. In three months, before the promotion competition began, Huanling had already produced all five of their mechas.
Xie Xie, Wei Xiaofeng, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi also paid money to Huan Ling, 1.35 million federal coins each.
At the same time, according to their requirements, Huanling prepared paint for them to apply on the surface of the mecha. Although it was a yellow-level mecha, it was as cool as some black-level mechas.
Moreover, it is made entirely of hundred-forged metal. Although it does not have soul-guided guns or soul-guided devices, the power of a punch from the mecha should not be underestimated.
There is no rush to make Huanling's mecha. He plans to wait a few months before starting. During this time, he will let Tang Wulin forge it for him. Huanling plans to make his own mecha after he becomes a level 5 mecha maker.
In three months, Huanling's soul power level has broken through to level 28. At the same time, the levels of mecha manufacturer and mecha repairer have also been raised to level 4.
The speed of increasing one level of soul power in four months is very stable, and Huanling does not have high expectations, and his cultivation speed is not slow.
If Huan Ling had originally fused with a ten-year soul or an ordinary hundred-year soul, the soul ring he condensed would not have been able to increase his soul power level that much. Each time he condensed a soul ring, his soul power would only be increased by one level. Then he would be at level twenty-one now. A nine-year-old great soul master cannot be considered bad no matter where he is.
During these three months, most of the communication between Huan Ling and Gu Yue was superficial, but their original group of six also accepted Gu Yue's arrival.
There are now twenty-seven people in Class One of Grade One. Seven of them often hang out together. Once, Ye Yingluo even teased them that all seven of them could sign up for the junior team competition.
Of course, except for Tang Wulin who has not yet shown any strength worth mentioning, the remaining six people in Class One, Grade One are all stronger than others.
The only two who are not great soul masters are Xie Xie and Gu Yue. One has a twin martial soul and the other controls the six elements, so their strength cannot be weak.
Moreover, the soul power levels of all seven of them broke through in these three months. Among them, Gu Yue broke through two levels, reaching the soul power level of seventeen, while the others only broke through one level.
After finishing the class, Ye Yingluo said, "Give the students a break this afternoon to relax. After the afternoon get out of class, we will have the class promotion competition. It will start with Class 5 challenging Class 4, and the winner will enter the next round. On the fourth day, Class 2 will challenge Class 1."
"It's almost impossible for this kind of thing to happen unexpectedly, but our class now has four great soul masters, and we can challenge the seniors in the promotion match. We will try our best to play until the third or even fourth grade. Go back and have a good rest and prepare."
The promotion competition has nothing to do with most of the students in Class 1, but it does not affect Ye Yingluo's decision to give them a holiday.
...The promotion competition is an annual event for Donghai College, because only the promotion competition is participated by all grades and the entire college.
The senior department has its own promotion competition, and the intermediate department has its own promotion competition. Students who perform well in the promotion competition will have their records recorded and entered into their files, which plays a very important role in recommending their future admission to higher-level institutions.
The physical rewards are also quite generous. Classes that achieve excellent results in the promotion competition will not only see their rankings change, but even their class teachers will be rewarded.
Therefore, after so many years of development, the class promotion competition has become a symbol of honor in Donghai College. It is a shame to be defeated by a lower-ranked class, and it is an honor to be able to defeat a higher-ranked class.
The reason for holding this promotion match three months after the start of school is to give each class ample time to select students and arrange tactics.
It's sunny today and the sky is blue and cloudless. In the middle of the playground of the Intermediate Department, a competition stage has been set up. It is said to be a competition stage, but it is actually a ground with a diameter of 100 meters paved with metal plates up to ten centimeters thick.
The venue occupies a large part of the playground, and there are special soul guide shield generators around the competition stage to avoid accidents during the competition.
Today is the first day of the competition. In order not to affect the students' study, the competition will be held after school.
At this time, the bell for the end of get out of class had already rung, and the students poured out of the teaching building, but very few of them rushed to the competition stage. Huanling and a few others also walked over from the dormitory.
First-year students, Class 5 versus Class 4, what’s so interesting about this kind of competition?
The senior classes were dismissive and only a few first-year classes, especially Class 3 which would be participating in the competition tomorrow, showed up to watch the game.
After the get out of class bell rang, the students from Class 1 and Class 5 ran to the playground in neat lines and stood on one side.
It has been three months since the start of the school year, but the students in Class Five seem to have taken on a whole new look, which has attracted the attention of many people.
The students from Class 4, Grade 1, arrived slower, in groups of two or three, and didn't seem to care much about the game.
However, the result of the match was ridiculous. They all became a little bored. What was so interesting about this kind of match? It was just a fight between two weaklings. Xie Xie even said that Tang Wulin could beat all of them by himself.
After the fight on stage, Xie Xie immediately said, "Let's go, let's go out for dinner today. I know a very good restaurant, I'll treat you."
Wei Xiaofeng was surprised and asked, "You almost took out a loan some time ago. Where do you get the money now?"
In order to get Tang Wulin and Huan Ling to help them make a mecha, the few people's small treasury was completely emptied. Wei Xiaofeng was so poor that he was about to eat dirt, and he didn't know where Xie Xie got the money.
Xie Xie curled his lips and said, "My unscrupulous father gave me one million federal coins a few days ago, saying that it was to congratulate me for passing the mecha driver's license and owning my own mecha."
