Building a Squad

Seeing Wang Qiu'er's pitiful expression, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

Wang Qiu'er was already stunningly beautiful, and with her pitiful appearance, her charm was simply too great. Even Lu Yuan was somewhat unable to resist her. Lu Yuan, who had originally wanted to glare at her again, couldn't help but withdraw his thoughts, and his eyes became much gentler.

He was the kind of person who responded better to gentle persuasion than harsh treatment, and seeing Wang Qiu'er's expression, he really couldn't bear to continue being harsh with her.

Gu Yuena is indeed a quick-witted girl; she has a very thorough understanding of Lu Yuan's personality.

Wang Qiu'er's act of playing the victim today actually had quite an effect.

Seeing Lu Yuan's softened gaze, Wang Qiu'er smiled inwardly. Sure enough, Sister Na'er was right; her brother really did fall for this.

Lu Yuan had no idea what Wang Qiu'er was thinking. After glancing at Wang Qiu'er, Lu Yuan looked away and turned to the students in front of him, his expression becoming serious.

"My name is Lu Yuan. I'm sure that even if you haven't met me, you've all heard of me."

Lu Yuan's calm voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, all the students nodded slightly. Everyone who could enter the inner academy knew the name Lu Yuan. He was the true master of this academy and had previously served as its dean. Some of them had even met Lu Yuan before.

"Since everyone knows me, I won't introduce myself. I've come to you all today to announce something important."

"As everyone knows, the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin, and our academy is also starting to form the team to participate in this competition. After discussions between Dean Erlong and me, the main members of this team have been determined, and I would like to inform you of that here."

Lu Yuan said calmly.

"We select teams entirely based on their strength, without any favoritism. If anyone has any opinions on the team selection, please feel free to raise them. We advocate fairness and transparency. Since we are selecting representatives to participate in the competition, we will ensure that all students are convinced of the fairness of the selection."

"Next, I will begin announcing the list of participating students. Students whose names are called, please stand up."

"The first member is Lu Yuan, the captain of the Heavenly Star Academy Team. That is, me. Does anyone have any objections to this spot?" Lu Yuan's gaze swept across the room slightly, and a strong aura rose from beneath his feet, instantly filling the entire classroom.

"No objections." Under the pressure of Lu Yuan's strong aura, the students present felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, and the powerful pressure made them feel suffocated.

Immediately, the students looked at Lu Yuan with deep shock. This former Dean Lu's strength was far beyond their imagination.

They naturally had no objections to having such a powerful person as captain.

"No objections? That's good. Now, let's announce the second team member."

"The second team member, who is also the vice captain of the Heavenly Star Squad, is Zhu Zhuqing. Does anyone have any objections to this spot?" As Lu Yuan finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing next to him, took a step forward.

"I have a problem with that?" A burly young man stood up and said.

"What's your opinion?" Lu Yuan asked.

"I think the vice-captain should have enough strength. We don't know her, and we don't know how strong she is. She needs to prove herself." The young man said loudly after hearing Lu Yuan's words.

"Prove it, right? Sure, Zhu Qing!" Lu Yuan turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her body gleaming with black light. With a low shout, the Super Spirit Nine Lives Heavenly Cat was activated, and five Soul Ring— yellow, purple, and black—swayed beneath Zhu Zhuqing.

"Soul King? Ten thousand years, fourth ring?" Looking at the Soul Ring at Zhu Zhuqing's feet, the young man's face was filled with shock, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

Not only her, but apart from Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan and a few other people who knew the truth, everyone else gasped in shock, their eyes filled with horror.

The fact that Soul King with only four rings for ten thousand years was so young shocked them greatly.

"Zhu Zhuqing, fourteen years old, a level 51 Soul King, will serve as the vice-captain of the Heavenly Star Squad. Does anyone have any objections?"

"No, no objections." Everyone was startled by Lu Yuan's words. Soul King at fourteen years old? What kind of talent was that? How could they dare to have any objections?

"Since no one has any objections, I will continue announcing the list."

Lu Yuan said calmly, "The third team member is Dugu Yan, the fourth team member is Ning Rongrong, and the rest are Fu Qinsheng, Ling Wei, and Wang Qiu'er, who just joined the inner academy not long ago."

"They are all at the Soul Ancestor level, I think none of you have any objections?" Lu Yuan looked at the remaining people.

"No objections!" The remaining few exchanged glances, their faces showing obvious regret, but they were also convinced of their choice. Their strength was only at the Soul Elder level, so they couldn't blame anyone for not being selected.

"The above seven people are the official members of this team. In addition to the official members, I also plan to select two substitutes in case of emergency. Jiang Zhu and Jing Ling, it's just the two of you. The team already has enough Power Attack System members, so I'm sorry Huang Yuan and Tailong, this time I'll have to decline." Lu Yuan said softly.

What Lu Yuan said was true. With his Golden Dragon Spirit, Wang Qiu'er, and Ling Wei with the Terror Claw Bear Spirit Ling Wei, it was already enough. Huang Yuan and Tailong were both Power Attack System, so Lu Yuan didn't really need them.

On the contrary, Jiang Zhu and Jing Ling were somewhat useful. After all, Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing would not appear in the initial battle, so the two of them could fill in.

As for whether it would be inappropriate for the team to have two control-type Soul Master and two support-type Soul Master, Lu Yuan was not worried about that. As long as they did not encounter those strong teams, their current composition was enough to sweep them.

If they really encounter a strong team, Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing can play at any time, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

In other words, one of these people is Tailong, who is a member of the Strength Clan. Lu Yuan naturally cannot let him play. However, Tyrone is the strongest among the remaining people. Therefore, if Lu Yuan chooses a substitute but not Tyrone, he needs a legitimate reason.

After all, this is an academy, and we need to make sure that all the students are convinced of what we do.

Fortunately, there are too many Power Attack System Soul Master, which is a good excuse.

"Alright, these nine people are the members participating in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. There are still three months until the Soul Master Tournament. In these three months, I will give everyone a good chance to work together. This time, we don't ask for anything else; we only have one goal, and that is the championship."

As Lu Yuan spoke, an astonishing light flashed in his eyes.
