Chapter 315 – The Importance of Class President

Wu Siduo’s soul fusion was undoubtedly mighty . A single attack was all that was needed to disintegrate Yang Nianxia and reduce him to motes of light .

“Run!” Tang Wulin immediately ordered .

Gu Yue moved without hesitation . Silver light flashed, teleporting Tang Wulin and herself just outside the clearing and into the depths of the forest .

They had tasted defeat at the hands of a soul fusion skill before . Not daring to underestimate it, they chose to exercise caution and retreat in the face of such power .

The air stirred . A moment later, the Hell White Tiger appeared where they just stood, its powerful claws slashing out only to hit nothing . .

“I surrender!” Xu Xiaoyan shouted as she sat on the ground with her hands high in the air .

The Hell White Tiger landed on the ground . In the next moment however, its figure faded, turning illusory before twisting and disappeared, leaving Wu Siduo in its place .

Despite her pale complexion, she stood with her back straight and head held high .

Her strength served as proof that she more than deserved her position as the strongest student of the first grade . With four purple soul rings, twin martial souls, and a self-soul fusion skill, it was impossible for her not to stand at the peak . Her most important ability was her soul fusion skill . It was unprecedented on the Douluo Continent . All of her abilities combined to earn her a spot in the top ten of the Genius Youths Ranking!

“A-are you okay?” Xu Xiaoyan asked .

Wu Siduo turned around, shooting Xu Xiaoyan a cold look . “I’m very weak right now . My body is in a bad condition, and I’ve overdrafted my soul power . If you plan to act, then do it now . Come on . ”

Xu Xiaoyan waved her hand dismissively . “How could I take advantage of you like that? I’m not that kind of person . I already surrendered, so I’m on your team now!”

Wu Siduo frowned at Xu Xiaoyan’s sweet and innocent smile, then sat down on the ground .

“Then protect me . I’m going to meditate . ” She closed her eyes .

It was Xu Xiaoyan’s turn to stare blankly at Wu Siduo .  Was my acting too good?

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue watched from the shadows of a tree . Gu Yue knitted her brows . “What are we going to do now?”

Tang Wulin smiled wryly . “There’s no hurry . Such a large battle definitely attracted the attention of others . With the competition nearing an end, who wouldn’t take this opportunity to defeat Wu Siduo? We’ll wait here . Her soul fusion skill might be powerful, but it also consumes a lot of soul power . Right now, she’s not a threat so we’ll just use her as bait . Besides, she probably has another card up her sleeve since she dares to meditate out in the open . Rather than taking a risk and going out to search for others, we should wait here and let Wu Siduo weaken them before we jump in . ”

Gu Yue shook her head . “I’m okay with waiting, but I don’t want anyone to disturb her . ”

Tang Wulin stared at her in surprise . “Why?”

Gu Yue met his gaze . “I want to duel her at her best condition . ”

Tang Wulin chuckled . “Oh, you! You’re just as stubborn as always . Alright, fine . We’ll protect her while she meditates then . ”

“You two sure have big hearts . Wouldn’t it be better if I just deal with her right now?” Xie Xie popped up by their side . He had been quietly trailing them from a distance the entire time .

Tang Wulin shook his head . “No, Gu Yue is right . If we defeat her right now, would she really accept us as the victors? There’s no way she would, and others wouldn’t either . If any of us wants to become the class president, we’ll need to show our strength . This is Shrek; only the strong are welcomed . Wu Siduo is a challenge we have to overcome . ” He turned to Gu Yue . “But I want you to promise me one thing, Gu Yue . ”

“What?”

“I know you refuse to accept this, but don’t deny that a four-ringed soul master with a self-soul fusion skill is stronger than us . It will be difficult to defeat her, so let’s fight together, alright?”

Gu Yue smiled . “Our opponent isn’t just her . Wulin, is class president really that important to you?”

Tang Wulin was taken aback . His heart thumped, but he smiled a moment later . “I understand . Thanks for your reminder . We’ll do this together!”

“Captain, why are you excluding me from this?” Xie Xie pouted .

Tang Wulin whispered a few words into Xie Xie’s ear, and he mulled over them . “That makes sense . Okay . I’m fine with that . Just remember to compensate me later . ” Xie Xie giggled mischievously .

Tang Wulin rolled his eyes . “Even without this matter, would I owe you anything?”

The forest gradually settled . Contrary to Tang Wulin’s expectations, no one came .

“Twelve people remain . The arena will be reduced now for the final battle . ” Shen Yi’s voice resounded throughout the forest, and the world before them blurred . When everything came back into focus, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, and the meditating Wu Siduo were beside each other .

They had originally been deep within the forest, surrounded by giant trees and dense foliage . Now, however, the terrain was nothing like before . A clearing of at least one hundred meters in diameter appeared in front of them, not a tree in sight and every inch of its ground covered in bluesilver grass . It was as if they were on an elevated dueling arena .

In this space were twelve people .

Tang Wulin’s group of four, with the addition of Wu Siduo, were grouped together . To their left was the group of three led by Immortal Xu Yucheng, and on their right was a group of four . This group of four, however, were in dire straits . Blood soaked every one of them, and their soul power fluctuations barely noticeable .

Tang Wulin finally understood why no one had come to eliminate Wu Siduo . It turned out that there were only a dozen of them left, a third of which were barely clinging onto life and devoting all their energy into recovering .

After taking everything in, Xu Yucheng was the first to act . He charged at the four injured soul masters like a bolt of lightning, his two followers darting out an instant later . They were clearly were well-rested and in peak condition . Rather than attacking the injured group though, the two followers moved to the side to guard Xu Yucheng from Tang Wulin’s team .

The first grade had a total of 101 students . Only twelve of them remained now . This was the eve their final battle for presidency .

Tang Wulin and his comrades remained still, simply watching Xu Yucheng charge .

The team of four was trapped, an arrow at the end of its flight . The scythe slashed down . They disappeared in flashes of light .

Now only eight remained! They were the three from Xu Yucheng’s team, and the five on Tang Wulin’s side .

Tang Wulin took the lead, approaching his opponents . His gaze fixed on Xu Yucheng . Now that the competition had come to this point, scheming and waiting no longer had any purpose . Now was not the time for wisdom to shine, but for strength to show its supremacy .

The only way to convince others was to show strength .

Xu Yucheng turned to look at Tang Wulin, his expression grim as he lifted his Demon Scythe up . His two companions released their martial souls .

But when they saw that Tang Wulin only had two soul rings, a mocking smile tugged their lips .

They assumed their usual battle formation; Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan in the rear, Tang Wulin as the vanguard, and Xie Xie on the side .

Neither side spoke a word . They all knew that this was the final battle . Xu Yucheng didn’t understand what the situation was with Wu Siduo, who was seated off in the distance, but he knew that his only option now was to defeat his opponents .

“Save your soul power,” Tang Wulin said to Gu Yue . “I’ll deal with Xu Yucheng . ” His words were filled with confidence .

Since the start of the competition, Tang Wulin had been patiently biding his time . For the sake of his comrades, he didn’t display his full strength and maintained himself in peak condition the entire time . It wasn’t that he didn’t want to fight and show off his power, but that he couldn’t . He had to act in consideration of his team .

But he no longer had to hold himself back . He wanted to see who was stronger, him or Immortal Xu Yucheng . He wanted to see just how strong a ranker was .

Previously, Gu Yue had asked him if being class president was important . The class president seat was important . However, it just couldn’t compare with the pleasure of battle .

Xu Yucheng’s two gray teammates turned illusory and dashed out . These two were agility-type soul masters! As for Xu Yucheng, he was undoubtedly an assault-type .
