Chen Ze kept his usual calm tone as he analyzed, "That's true. Look, the three great prodigies of Heaven Dou Academy have already become official members or substitute players."
"Three years ago, we narrowly beat them by relying on our age advantage, but now the Sixth Prince, Xue Shiming, has already improved tremendously—you all saw his performance with your own eyes, didn't you?"
"In three years, their strength will be even more terrifying! They might even become the core of the entire team!"
His tone was steady, every word like a stone falling onto ice, stirring up rings of ripples.
Liu Ruyan also sighed. "And then look at the students in their Middle Department. Three years from now, Hu Yanzan, Yan Zaiyang, Ling Xinyao, and Ge Tianhao, who hasn't even appeared yet, will all very likely enter the Heaven Dou school team. The other students are also capable of becoming their substitutes. Their team really is full of talent."
At this point, she could not help showing an envious expression.
After hearing these words, everyone fell silent.
An invisible pressure, like a heavy mountain, pressed down on everyone's heart, making the originally relaxed and cheerful atmosphere turn solemn.
Chen Ze waved a hand and said blandly, "No matter how many talented people they have, they can still make room for them. After all, they hold two team slots for the competition. The lineup of this so-called Heaven Dou Second Team three years from now might not necessarily be these people. It might be completely reshuffled."
Gu Wuyan frowned and replied thoughtfully, "Speaking of substitutes, our substitutes can only barely be useful in the preliminary round. Back then, Ito Makoto's strength really was decent. His unique Withered Vine martial soul could even replace the three Control Types among you, Ruyan."
