Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin walked into the classroom chatting and laughing in the morning, but the next second they both froze.

Because they saw Su Mo sitting upright in his seat, just like yesterday.

"!!!"

"Damn it, Su Mo, why are you here so early?"

Almost the instant Xie Xie saw Su Mo, he blurted out the answer instinctively.

But as soon as he said that, Xie Xie realized something was wrong. "Oh wait, why are you in the classroom?"

"Why can't I be in the classroom? Aren't I a student in Class Zero too?"

Su Mo rested her chin on one hand, smiled, and stared at Xie Xie, asking in return.

"No, didn't you used to skip class?"

After being rebuffed by Su Mo, Xie Xie wasn't angry but asked curiously, "Have you changed your mind?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt that it's nice to come to class when I have nothing else to do."

Su Mo's tone was very calm, as if he were talking about something extremely insignificant.

Seeing this, Xie Xie didn't say much more. Because they had watched a movie together yesterday, Xie Xie's impression of Su Mo had changed quite a bit.

Good morning, Su Mo!

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie had just sat down when Xu Xiaoyan walked in, arm in arm with Gu Yue.

Upon seeing Su Mo, Xu Xiaoyan's eyes immediately lit up, and she quickly waved to greet him.

Su Mo nodded with a smile, which was her way of responding to Xu Xiaoyan.

Seeing that Su Mo actually smiled at her, Xu Xiaoyan immediately felt that she had no regrets in her life.

Gu Yue, who was standing to the side, looked at Su Mo who appeared in the classroom, and her face also showed a hint of surprise, just like Tang Wulin and the others.

Su Mo was not surprised by the surprised expressions on Gu Yue's and the others' faces.

This is the benefit of creating a persona.

By not attending classes for a semester, he subconsciously instilled in Tang Wulin and the others the impression that he would not attend classes.

When their preconceived notions are shattered by their sudden arrival at class, the huge psychological gap will cause Tang Wulin and the others to subconsciously relax their vigilance and become curious about them.

When the bell rang, Wu Changkong walked into the classroom right on time. Even with his composure, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Mo sitting obediently in the classroom, but he quickly regained his composure.

Wu Changkong stood on the podium and scanned the room before slowly saying, "The academy has decided to let you participate in the Tianhai Grand Competition in a month."

"The Grand Finale of Tianjin and Shanghai!!!"

Upon hearing this news, Su Mo was suddenly stunned, subconsciously connecting it to what Ye Xinglan had said yesterday.

Combining the two, Su Mo had a rough idea of ​​Ye Xinglan's purpose in coming to Tianhai City.

However, Su Mo was still puzzled by one thing: why would Ye Xinglan, a person from the central region, suddenly come to Tianhai City to participate in the Tianhai Grand Competition?

Xu Xiaoyan's mouth was slightly open, her face full of astonishment.

She knew the Tianhai Grand Competition all too well.

If they were to participate in the Tianjin Tianhai Grand Competition now, given their age, they would at most only be able to compete in the junior group.

Even the junior group isn't easy to get by in. Her older brother represented Donghai Academy in the junior group's Tianhai Grand Competition last time, but he didn't even make it past the preliminaries.

"Teacher Wu, what is the Tianhai Grand Competition?"

Tang Wulin raised his hand and looked at Wu Changkong with a curious expression.

Having studied at Donghai Academy for so long, this was the first time he had ever heard of such a competition.

Wu Changkong didn't answer but looked directly at Xie Xie beside Tang Wulin and coldly ordered, "Xie Xie, you are a local of Donghai City, you explain to them what the Tianhai Grand Competition is."

"Okay!"

Seeing that it was his turn to shine, Xie Xie immediately transformed into a quick-witted little chatterbox and began to speak fluently and incessantly.

"As we all know, the Federation has a total of eighteen first-tier cities, which are divided into five regions: east, west, south, north, and central."

"Our Donghai City belongs to the eastern region..."

Get to the point!

Seeing Xie Xie dawdling and seemingly wanting to start explaining from the history of the Federation's development, Wu Changkong urged him impatiently.

"All right!"

Xie Xie was a little annoyed at being scolded for no reason, but he still obediently followed Wu Changkong's orders and explained.

"Tianhai Grand Competition, officially known as the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition."

"This competition is jointly organized by our Donghai City and the four first-tier cities of Tianhai, Zhenhai, Binhai and Hailu next door, together with other second- and third-tier cities in the eastern region."

"The Tianhai Grand Competition is held every three years and is a place for major cities to showcase their heritage and build their reputation."

"The competition is divided into youth and junior groups. The age range for the youth group is 16 to 20 years old, while the age range for the junior group is 11 to 15 years old."

"Each group's competition is further divided into individual and team events, with team events further divided into seven-person, five-person, and three-person team events."

"The most anticipated competitions are the individual events and the seven-person team events."

"Those who perform exceptionally well in the competition may even represent the Tianhai Alliance in the Federation Grand Competition, a top-level event held every five years on the mainland."

"I'm telling you, the Federation Grand Competition..."

"Alright!"

Seeing that the topic was gradually going astray, Wu Changkong frowned and interrupted Xie Xie in a deep voice. Then, he said with a serious expression, "After discussion, the academy has decided to let you participate in the junior group's three-person team competition."

"Huh? A three-person team competition?!"

Upon hearing Wu Changkong's words, Xie Xie immediately widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Teacher Wu, aren't there five of us? Logically, we should be competing in the five-person team competition!"

Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan nodded seriously. No matter how you look at it, the five people from Class Zero should participate in the five-person team competition.

Gu Yue's expression shifted slightly as she looked thoughtfully at Su Mo.

Facing Gu Yue's gaze, Su Mo simply smiled faintly and continued to tap the table lightly with his fingers, as if he hadn't heard what Wu Changkong had said.

Su Mo didn't bother to point out Wu Changkong's little scheme.

To reiterate, Wu Changkong was worried that he might threaten Tang Wulin's leadership position.

Although Gu Yue is stronger than Tang Wulin, it's clear to everyone that Gu Yue is willing to be Tang Wulin's sidekick, letting Tang Wulin be the backbone of the team.

But I am different. I am far, far stronger than Tang Wulin, strong enough to affect the normal operation of a team.

A team can have someone stronger than the team leader, but it cannot have someone stronger than all the others combined.

Otherwise, the so-called team is nothing more than an accessory to this person, and he just happens to fit that description.

Given how much Wu Changkong values ​​Tang Wulin, he would absolutely not tolerate such a thing happening.

So even though he knew that doing so would cause controversy in Class Zero, Wu Changkong still had to bite the bullet and kick himself out.

If I'm not mistaken, Wu Changkong has probably thrown himself into the individual competition.

Otherwise, Yu Zhen would absolutely not agree to Wu Changkong's actions, which were clearly aimed at isolating him.

Wu Changkong treats Tang Wulin like a treasure, but that doesn't mean Donghai Academy treats Tang Wulin like a treasure as well.

The only person whom Donghai Academy treasured and was willing to make an exception for was himself.
