Today's promotion match ended, and the students watching dispersed in twos and threes, their discussions gradually fading.
This was a match that couldn't even be called a "crushing victory" because there was no process of resistance at all.
Tang Wulin, with just one move of Blue Silver Entanglement, effortlessly ended all of his opponent's hopes.
The seemingly delicate Blue Silver Grass displayed terrifying resilience on the field.
The entire process flowed smoothly; Tang Wulin used only one Blue Silver Entanglement to put an end to the match.
"Teacher Wu, do we still have special training scheduled for tonight?"
Fang Yang walked to the side of the field and asked Wu Changkong, who was nearby.
Wu Changkong didn't even glance at Kong Hanwen, the dejected Grade One Class Four homeroom teacher.
He proudly raised his head and spoke indifferently to Fifth Class: "No, to maintain optimal condition, there will be no special training during the promotion matches. Class dismissed for everyone now!"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Changkong had already turned and left.
"That's great! Finally, no more special training!" Xie Xie couldn't help but exclaim joyfully, his face filled with the happiness of having survived a disaster.
For him, Wu Changkong's special training was simply a nightmare.
Whether it was battling Fang Yang, Gu Yue, or Tang Wulin, he had never tasted victory.
And the most terrifying was the practical training with Wu Changkong himself; that aloof man never knew what "showing mercy" meant, and every training session left him in excruciating pain, leading to profound insights.
At this moment, Director Long Hengxu also slowly walked down from the competition stage, his gaze somewhat complex as he assessed the four of them.
It was precisely because of the fight that occurred at the beginning of the school year that he specifically assigned these four to Grade One Class Five.
Even Gu Yue was later arranged by Wu Changkong as an exception.
Who would have thought that these four would become the main lineup for Fifth Class in the promotion matches?
"That aloof man truly got a good deal…" Long Hengxu sighed inwardly.
Although not many people at the academy liked Wu Changkong, it had to be admitted that his teaching ability and personal capabilities were both top-notch.
"Fang Yang, Gu Yue, Wu Lin, how about we go out and relax?" Xie Xie said excitedly, a smile in his eyes.
Tang Wulin heard this and glanced at Xie Xie: "Xie Xie, are you treating?"
Xie Xie's face immediately fell: "No way, why is it always me again?"
Fang Yang seized the opportunity to add: "Xie Xie, if you're not treating, then we're not going."
"Alright, alright." Xie Xie reluctantly agreed, raising his hands in surrender.
Eastsea Academy's management was not particularly strict, and Eastsea City was a wealthy city with excellent public safety.
Fang Yang naturally took Gu Yue's slender hand: "Gu Yue, let's go."
"Mm, okay."
Gu Yue responded softly, a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Just as the four were about to leave, a graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of Tang Wulin.
Ouyang Zixin smiled and said, "Hello there, junior, can we get to know each other?"
This sudden situation stunned Fang Yang, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie.
Tang Wulin was even more instantly dumbfounded; standing before him was the senior he had longed for day and night.
"O-of course we can, senior."
Tang Wulin stammered his reply, his earlobes subtly reddening.
Ouyang Zixin shook the soul communicator in her hand: "Then, junior, can you add senior as a contact?"
"O-okay!"
Tang Wulin fumbled to pull out his communicator, his fingertips trembling slightly.
Xie Xie watched from the side, gritting his teeth: "Oh, Tang Wulin, even you've learned this trick?"
After Ouyang Zixin got Tang Wulin's contact information, she left contentedly.
She thought to herself, "Hehe, little Chu Nan junior is really good, and shy too."
Fang Yang and Xie Xie immediately surrounded Tang Wulin, dangerous glints in their eyes.
"Wu Lin, explain? What's going on with that senior?"
Xie Xie narrowed his eyes, his tone unfriendly.
Fang Yang also chuckled mischievously: "I never would have thought, Wu Lin, usually so quiet, but so charming at the crucial moment."
Tang Wulin's face instantly flushed red: "I-I only accidentally saw senior a few times on campus before, she doesn't even know me… I also don't know why she would…"
"Tang Wulin, don't give us that! Since you secretly got some romantic luck, it's not too much for you to treat us to this meal, is it?" Xie Xie interrupted.
"O-okay…" Tang Wulin reluctantly conceded, but a hint of sweetness bloomed in his heart.
He never dreamed that the senior he had secretly admired for so long would actively ask for his contact information.
"Alright, it's settled then, Tang Wulin is treating."
Fang Yang tightened his grip on Gu Yue's delicate hand, "Go go, let's set off."
"Where are we going?" Tang Wulin asked Xie Xie, who had suggested going out.
A cunning glint flashed in Xie Xie's eyes: "How about we go satisfy your stomach first? I know a snack street that's guaranteed to amaze you."
"Good idea."
Tang Wulin's eyes immediately lit up.
The snack street was not particularly close to Eastsea Academy; it took Fang Yang and the other three a full half-hour to walk there.
On both sides of a not-too-wide street, shops stood in rows.
As soon as Fang Yang and the others reached the street corner, a series of tempting aromas wafted towards them.
The sizzling oil of roasted meat, the rich fragrance of bubbling stews, the crispy wheat aroma of pancakes—various food scents intertwined in the air, whetting their appetites.
"Hmm, let me think…"
Xie Xie stroked his chin in thought, then his eyes lit up, "How about we try the braised beef in a pot? Their braised beef is stewed until it's incredibly tender, and paired with steaming white rice, it's exceptionally delicious."
As a native of Eastsea City, Xie Xie offered this suggestion.
"Great!"
Fang Yang and the other two responded in unison. With local Xie Xie leading the way, they were naturally happy to follow his advice.
Seeing that Fang Yang and the others had no objections, Xie Xie, familiar with the area, led the way to a small but exceptionally clean shop.
The shop's specialty, braised beef in a pot, was cooked in a special reddish-brown clay pot. Fresh beef was first washed, then simmered with green onions and ginger.
The unique material of the clay pot perfectly locked in the beef's moisture and freshness. After the beef changed color, over a dozen secret spices were added for a long stewing period, until the beef was tender and flavorful, with the spices and meat aroma perfectly fused, making it a famous snack far and wide in Eastsea City.
The shop, though small, had a unique character.
The stove was set outside the shop, with nearly a hundred small burners neatly arranged on it, each holding a steaming clay pot.
The rising aroma of beef occasionally caused the pot lids to gently tremble, allowing the tempting scent to escape and waft freely down the street, enticing the appetites of passersby.
The interior of the shop was not large, with only five rectangular tables, accommodating a maximum of twenty-odd people.
It was dinnertime, and half of the seats were already occupied.
In late autumn, the outside temperature was not high, but upon stepping into the shop, a warm atmosphere mixed with the rich aroma of beef wafted over, instantly giving one a feeling of complete comfort.
