Motivation

"Neither Zhu Qing nor I will play in this competition. You will have to rely on yourselves. If even a mere Canghui Academy requires us to play, then the three months of training you have been meaningless."

"You can all go home, wash up, and go to bed now," Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Hmm!" Hearing Lu Yuan's words, everyone nodded solemnly. If they couldn't even handle Canghui Academy, a little-known academy, then they would truly be letting down Lu Yuan's painstaking efforts in nurturing them.

"Since their Seven-in-One Fusion Skill is an illusion, then people with strong mental power should be able to resist it, right?" Fu Qinsheng said.

Lu Yuan gave him an approving look and said, "Qin Sheng is right. No matter how much the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill is touted, it is still just Seven-in-One Fusion Skill. It is not a heaven-defying Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill. So even though it is quite strange, it is not difficult to break it as long as there is a certain method. Moreover, you have already made preparations in advance."

"So either you crush them with Thunderous Might force before Canghui Academy has a chance to use this Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, or you launch a counterattack after they are trapped in the illusion and defeat them."

"This battle mainly depends on Qin Sheng and Qiu'er."

"Qin Sheng, you are a mind control type Soul Master, and you are already at level 45. Your mental strength is comparable to that of Soul King. Qiu'er has the Golden Dragon Spirit. As a super-powerful Martial Soul with Ultimate Power, the Golden Dragon has its own unique Golden Dragon Perception. Illusions should not be of much use to you, Qiu'er."

"So I'm not worried about you losing this battle. All I want is a clean and decisive victory. Sect Master Ning and Senior Dugu were so optimistic about us just now, we can't afford to lose face. We must show our prowess in this battle."

"It would be best to end the battle within one minute," Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Within one minute?" Upon hearing this, Fu Qinsheng and the others exchanged glances. Winning was not difficult for them, but ending the battle within one minute was not an easy task.

"You should discuss this among yourselves. The Seven-in-One Fusion Skill I mentioned earlier is Canghui Academy's deepest trump card, but today is only the first match, and they may not use it."

"But regardless of whether they use it or not, I prefer the first fighting method I just mentioned: crush them with Thunderous Might force and flatten them out. Only in this way can we better build momentum."

"Qiu'er, Ling Wei, you two have the Golden Dragon Spirit and the Terror Claw Bear Spirit respectively. You need to demonstrate the strength of your Martial Soul. If this battle doesn't satisfy me, hehe, everyone will be punished when we get back, and none of you will escape."

Lu Yuan's somewhat serious voice rang out.

"Yes, Captain!" As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, everyone immediately spoke in unison, their loud voices ringing out.

"Alright, leave the rest to Qin Sheng to arrange. It's all up to you. I won't interfere anymore," Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Yes, Captain!" the voices rang out again.

"Come, Zhu Qing, sit down!" On one side, Fu Qinsheng and the others gathered together to discuss, while Lu Yuan pulled Zhu Zhuqing to sit down beside him, leisurely flirting with her.

"Lu Yuan, isn't one minute too short?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly as she sat down next to Lu Yuan.

"It's not short enough. With their strength, it's more than enough." Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I just deliberately brought up Canghui Academy's Seven-in-One Fusion Skill to provoke them. This is only the first match of the preliminaries. We are a strong team that has been favored by two big shots. Canghui Academy will not use such an important Seven-in-One Fusion Skill in the first match."

"Shi Nian isn't stupid. If he uses it now, won't all the teams know about it? The Seven-in-One Fusion Skill is powerful, but as I said, there are always weaknesses. Once this trump card is gone, how far can Canghui Academy go with their mediocre skills?"

"They're not like us. Even if Qiu'er and the others' full strength is exposed, it doesn't matter. As long as the two of us are here, we can easily defeat everything."

"Why do you think Senior Dugu others are so brazen, publicly praising us? It's because they know our strength; we have no chance of losing. That's why they said that. Otherwise, if they misjudged us, they would be the ones who lose face," Lu Yuan said softly.

"Oh, so you're saying this just to motivate them?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"Yes." Lu Yuan glanced at the group of people who were discussing and smiled slightly. "Don't be fooled by how obedient these guys are in front of me. They're all arrogant. If I don't provoke them, they'll all be hiding their true strength. As I said, I want to win the first match decisively. This is Heavenly Star Academy's first battle, which is of great importance and absolutely cannot be lost."

"You're so cunning, you even scheme against your own people." Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lu Yuan.

"Hehe, how can this be called a routine? This is called reasonable incentives," Lu Yuan said with a faint smile.

After stroking Zhu Zhuqing's long hair, Lu Yuan turned his gaze to the entrance of the rest area.

From a distance of nearly 300 meters, Lu Yuan could clearly see the entire battle in the central competition area.

"Tsk, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is really weak." Looking at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team being completely outmatched by Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix, Lu Yuan couldn't help but click his tongue and say.

"What's wrong? How's the competition going?" Zhu Zhuqing looked into the distance, but at more than 300 meters away, all she could see was a small black dot, the figures were very blurry and she couldn't make them out clearly.

"What else can happen? Heaven Dou Second Team got completely thrashed. I never expected Shui Bing'er to have some strength. Her Martial Soul, the Ice Phoenix, is already a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, only one step away from the Ultimate Ice. If it really comes down to a fight, if we don't step in, only Qiu'er might be able to beat her." Lu Yuan said softly.

"Is she that strong? Her strength is only around level 44, isn't it?" Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Yes, she's only level 44, but the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul is very powerful. Moreover, the phoenix is the king of birds, naturally restraining Martial Soul like snakes and dragons. Furthermore, the ice attribute has a certain resistance to poison. That's why, even though Dugu Yan's Soul Power is a few levels higher, she might not necessarily be able to defeat her."

"This Shui Bing'er is indeed a genius, and I heard she's only eighteen this year, which is truly rare. If you hadn't had so many extraordinary encounters, you probably wouldn't be much better than her at that age," Lu Yuan sighed and said softly.
