Team

Li Xun turned to Ning Fengzhi and said with a smile, "The items won't disappear just sitting there anyway."

"Fine! But don't put it off for too long. Absorbing these two soul bones now will still give you some benefits. Once your Soul Power grows higher, even if you absorb them, the improvement won't be all that significant."

Seeing Li Xun persist, Ning Fengzhi glanced at Ning Rongrong again.

He did not try to persuade him further.

He also hoped that these two children would come across good soul bones.

"Teacher, can I learn our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Heart Separation Control?"

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi was no longer discussing the matter, Li Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

He spoke after a slight hesitation.

As his level rose, he needed more and more time for meditation, while refining Chakra also demanded immense effort.

He refined Chakra during the day and practiced his meditation method at night.

He was already starting to feel overwhelmed.

He had kept this up for two years. Fortunately, the meditation method could replace some sleep, or it would not have been surprising if he suddenly dropped dead one day.

"For something this minor, you could just tell Rongrong directly and have her teach you."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and patted Li Xun's head.

His disciple was good in every way, except that he cared too much about saving face and was sometimes too embarrassed to speak up.

"Thank you, Teacher."

As the head of a sect, Ning Fengzhi had many matters that required his personal attention.

Seeing that Li Xun and Ning Rongrong were both doing well, he left with Sword Douluo.

"Big Brother Li Xun, I heard what you said just now. If I absorb a good soul bone, does that mean I won't have to cultivate so hard?"

After seeing Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo off, Ning Rongrong skipped over to Li Xun's side.

She wrapped her arms around one of his.

"You really don't let any chance to slack off slip by, do you?" Li Xun said with a smile, pinching her cheek.

"Hehe, then when can we absorb soul bones? Don't make me wait too long."

Ning Rongrong paid no attention to Li Xun's words and instead began fantasizing about the wonderful prospect of raising her level by absorbing a soul bone.

"Once I become a god, I'll definitely get you a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and let your level rise quickly."

".You're awful."

"Rongrong, do you think a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone isn't good enough?"

"."

The two eventually ended up wrestling together.

Perhaps the classroom incident had blown over.

Qin Ming, who had been absent for several days, suddenly came calling and said he would take Li Xun and Ning Rongrong to see the team.

Naturally, Li Xun did not refuse.

He truly needed to get in touch with Dugu Yan now, so he could prepare to recruit Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo's character might not have seemed all that admirable to outsiders.

After all, when his granddaughter lost a match to Tang San, he had actually developed murderous intent.

But he was genuinely good to his own people, and when something happened, he truly stepped up.

How many times had he risked his life to save Tang San?

Though Tang San had cured the poison afflicting him and his granddaughter.

Favors were not an inexhaustible resource.

How many precious herbs had Tang San taken from him? Though he did not recognize them, how could he not know how precious the herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were?

After all, no one was a fool.

"This is where our Heavenly Dou Royal Team One gathers."

Qin Ming led Li Xun and Ning Rongrong all the way to a platform on the academy's back mountain.

The platform was extremely broad, about the size of a football field.

At that moment, the Heaven Dou First Team members were running laps on the platform. Their faces were flushed red from exhaustion, and they were panting heavily.

Yet they all gritted their teeth and persevered.

Behind them was another group of younger children. Though their training was less intense than that of the members in front, their expressions were no better.

"The training they're doing now is something I developed through my own studies. Its purpose is to stimulate the body's potential and improve physical fitness."

"If paired with Heavenly Dou Academy's Mimetic Cultivation Field, the results will be twice as good with half the effort."

Listening to Qin Ming's proud introduction, Li Xun was stunned, and Ning Rongrong's face went pale.

When Qin Ming had mysteriously led the two of them up the mountain, they had thought the Heavenly Dou First Team's training methods would be something incredibly miraculous and secretive.

Who would have thought that Qin Ming was actually a second Yu Xiaogang?

Couldn't anyone come up with this running-based training method?

"Teacher Qin Ming, do you also enjoy research?"

Li Xun asked stiffly.

"Not really, not really. I just think more after becoming a teacher."

The corners of Qin Ming's lips curled slightly in a restrained smile.

Clearly, he was in quite a good mood right now.

Perhaps because they had completed the required laps, the team members stopped one after another and looked curiously toward Li Xun.

"Come on, I'll introduce you two to the students of the Heavenly Dou Team."

After saying that, Qin Ming strode forward, leaving Li Xun and Ning Rongrong staring at each other.

"Brother, I miss home."

Ning Rongrong tugged at Li Xun's sleeve with her little hand and looked at him pitifully.

"Don't panic. We'll take it slowly."

Li Xun gave Ning Rongrong a reassuring look.

It had to be said that Qin Ming had some ideas.

This running-based training method could indeed improve one's physical fitness, and no one could find fault with it anywhere.

It coincided with the Grandmaster's ideas without prior agreement.

The principle was simply to eat well, drink well, and exercise the body.

Of course, adding a few more training programs appropriately would make it much better than this.

"Come, let me introduce you."

Qin Ming waved Li Xun over, then called over the younger team members. "Li Xun and Ning Rongrong will be your teammates from now on. Get acquainted with each other."

"Yu Tianheng, thirteen years old. Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Soul Power Level 29, assault type."

"Dugu Yan, thirteen years old. Martial Soul: Jade Phosphor Serpent. Soul Power Level 27, control type."

"Ye Lingling, thirteen years old. Martial Soul: Nine Heart Begonia. Soul Power Level 24, support type."

"Shi Mo, thirteen years old. Martial Soul: Black Tortoise Turtle. Soul Power Level 25, defense type."

"Shi Mo, thirteen years old. Martial Soul: Black Tortoise Turtle. Soul Power Level 25, defense type."

"Yu Feng, thirteen years old. Martial Soul: Wind Chime Bird. Soul Power Level 25, agility-attack type."

"Osler, thirteen years old. Martial Soul: Ghost Leopard. Soul Power Level 26, agility-attack type."

After the team members finished introducing themselves, they examined Li Xun and Ning Rongrong with scrutinizing gazes.

Compared to their own ages, these two were simply far too young.

They could not help but wonder.

At such a young age, they had probably only recently awakened their Martial Souls. Weren't they joining the team just to drag everyone down?

Yu Tianheng was also surprised by this and carefully sized Li Xun up.

He had already seen Li Xun in the Heavenly Subtle Grade Classroom some time ago.

He simply had not expected the other party to join their reserve team.

"Li Xun, eight years old. Martial Soul: Thousand Hands Great Buddha. Soul Power Level 19, control type."

"Ning Rongrong, eight years old. Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Soul Power Level 17, support type."

Upon seeing Yu Tianheng, Li Xun nodded before turning to look at Dugu Yan.

Compared to the former, she was his true objective.

However, there was no need to rush this matter.

He was still missing several illustrations for the key Immortal Herbs. Now, he only had to wait for news from Yang Qianjun.

Hearing that Li Xun and Ning Rongrong were only eight years old, everyone was shocked.

After all, their own talents were already among the best of their peers. Even the members of the Heavenly Dou First Team beside them could not compare to them.

Yet two people even more talented than them had arrived all at once.

They could not help but marvel, "Are geniuses this common now?"

Compared to everyone else's reaction, Ye Lingling felt somewhat bitter inside.
