Luxurious Team Lineup

Two days passed in a flash, though that was only true for ordinary people.

Over these two days, Ye Han truly experienced what hell on earth meant. In his previous life, as an ordinary person, he would normally go for runs and work out.

But now that he had transmigrated into the Douluo World, that little bit of exercise was pitifully inadequate. So Ye Han made up his mind and decided to train with Todo.

He even told Todo to make sure he supervised him. If he slacked off, Todo could use certain special measures if necessary. And so, Ye Han met with tragedy.

"Best friend! Get up! The morning is the foundation of the day. Let's start with a ten-kilometer run to warm up!" Hearing Todo's enthusiastic voice, Ye Han felt as though demonic music were drilling into his ears.

He pulled the blanket over his head and said pitifully, "I'm going to get Association Items later today. It'll take a lot out of me, so let's rest today!"

If it had been anyone else, seeing Ye Han's expression and that face, they would have agreed immediately. But who was Todo? He was a man with an exceptionally favorable understanding of his own preferences.

With a swish, Ye Han felt his blanket get thrown away, exposing his skin to the air.

Todo revealed a sincere smile. "Best friend! Slacking is the greatest enemy! If you don't get up, I think I'll give you a set of Jujutsu High Special Techniques."

Hearing Todo's words, Ye Han instantly sobered up. After all, in order to grow stronger, he had taken quite a beating these past two days.

But there was no helping it. He had no combat experience and had never learned any special fighting techniques. Gate of Babylon contained a vast collection of weapons of all kinds.

So Ye Han could only seek guidance from the academy's teachers and the best friend in front of him. After all, combat experience began with getting beaten up.

Fortunately, there were results. At the very least, after two days, Ye Han was gradually adapting to this world of battle.

He got up helplessly and threw himself into intense training. Though Ye Han was endlessly reluctant, he would absolutely never slack off when it came to training.

After all, in this world where people could die at any time, a moment of laziness might cost him his life.

After morning practice ended, Ye Han left the academy and headed for the Blacksmith Shop and Tailor Shop. Before long, he paid the remaining balance and collected what he wanted.

After checking the things he had received, Ye Han's steps unconsciously quickened. He soon returned to the training ground and sorted the items into neat piles.

Seeing Todo still running, Ye Han shouted, "Todo, stop running! New Companions are here today!"

Todo hurried over upon hearing that and asked excitedly, "I wonder if there'll be someone just like you, best friend! If there is, we'll become the best of friends too, right?"

"Absolutely impossible! This time, I'm planning to summon pretty girls!" Ye Han denied it with complete seriousness. After all, not everyone had the same tastes as Todo.

Unexpectedly, those words made Todo look at Ye Han even more excitedly. His whole body trembled with emotion as he asked shakily, "Could it be that, for my sake, best friend, you're summoning Takada-chan!"

Ye Han's mouth twitched slightly. He simply could not understand Todo's train of thought, so he gave up trying and mercilessly shattered Todo's fantasy. "You're dreaming. What would Takada-chan even do if I summoned her?"

"No!" Hearing that answer, Todo dropped to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Han stopped fooling around and said seriously, "We've learned a little about Soul Master team compositions these past two days. You can serve as the Power Attack Type, while I'm basically positioned as the Ranged Attack Type. When necessary, I can switch to the Close-Combat Power Attack Type."

Todo suppressed his inner grief and said solemnly, "So what we lack now are the Agility Attack Type, Support Department, Defense Type, and Control Type. By the way, did you try what I suggested before?"

Ye Han shook his head. "I asked the system. People like Satoru Gojo, who would disrupt the balance, can't be summoned."

Ye Han had been extremely excited by Todo's suggestion at the time, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"What a shame. In that case, you can only choose the candidates yourself. Takada-chan would be best!" Todo hinted once again.

Pretending not to hear him, Ye Han continued, "First is the Agility Attack Type. My candidate is Yoruichi Shihouin from the Bleach World. In that world, she is known as Flash Goddess Yoruichi. You could say she is the fastest woman."

As he spoke, he took several items from the pile and said helplessly, "Unfortunately, although this woman has many distinguishing traits, the only truly useful things are the Shihouin Clan Outfit, Black Cat, the shattered weapon from her battle with Aizen, and the orange outfit she wore after defecting. I don't know if this will work."

After arranging the items neatly, Ye Han did not hesitate and directly summoned the system. "Use one Second Dimension Summoning Scroll. The Association Items are the things in front of me."

Detecting Association Items: Shihouin Clan Outfit, Black Cat, orange outfit, shattered weapon

Summoning successful. Summoned character: Yoruichi Shihouin

The summoned character's friendliness toward the host is at maximum

Erase the character's original personality?

Seeing the system prompt, Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief. If Yoruichi Shihouin could be successfully summoned, the following summons would go much more smoothly.

There was also a reason Ye Han had chosen Yoruichi Shihouin first. With the Shihouin Clan Outfit as a foundation, even if it was not Yoruichi Shihouin, he could accept Soi Fon. At worst, it would be an Execution Force member.

"Don't ask whether to erase a character's personality again. If I need it, I'll say so directly. Otherwise, don't erase it by default." Ye Han let out a breath and directly summoned Yoruichi Shihouin.

A flash of Golden Light passed by. Much like Todo back then, a little girl around six years old appeared. Her appearance might have been that of a six-year-old, but her personality definitely was not.

Having just arrived, Yoruichi looked around privately. Then she chuckled and walked over to Ye Han. "Little sister, you're the one who brought big sister into this world, right? You have to take responsibility."

Ye Han looked helplessly at six-year-old Yoruichi. "Big sister, you're only six. What am I supposed to be responsible for? Wait until you grow up a little before saying that! And lastly, let me emphasize that I'm a boy!"

Yoruichi was not angry. She merely said casually, "Brats really are annoying."

Ye Han said helplessly, "Sister Yoruichi, talk with Todo for now. I'll summon the rest together."

After saying that, Ye Han called up the system once again, placed all the Association Items properly, and prepared to summon them all at once.

Seeing that the characters had all been summoned according to his plans, Ye Han finally relaxed.

As for the rifles, pistols, and Virtual Connection Helmet, they were merely for appearance and had no actual function. As long as they looked convincing, that was enough.

Congratulations, host, for completing the Side Quest: Companions

Reward: Qualification to participate in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament

Four flashes of light swept through the area, and four six-year-old girls stood together in confusion. Then Esdeath, with blue hair, was the first to look at Ye Han and ask, "There are plenty of strong people in this world, right?"

Looking at Esdeath's battle-hungry expression, Ye Han could only nod. Still, he warned her, "You should challenge the strong only when you are strong enough yourself."

Hearing their conversation, Kurumi Tokisaki smiled and said, "Why do I feel as if my power still exists, yet I can't use it?"

Her words resonated with the others, and they all looked toward Ye Han. He wore a speechless expression as he complained inwardly, How would I know?!

Still, he had to answer seriously. "Once you obtain Soul Rings, you should be able to recover your powers."

"Did I transmigrate?!" At that moment, an out-of-place voice slowly rang out. The others turned their gazes toward the bewildered little girl.

Startled by their stares, she stammered, "Um, well... sorry, I'm a little slow."

Ye Han had actually hesitated greatly when summoning Kaede Honjou as the Defense Type. After all, Kaede Honjou's abilities mostly came from the game world. If there was nothing special when she awakened her Martial Soul, then this summoning would count as a failure.

Ye Han walked over and gently rubbed the nervous Kaede Honjou's little head. "It's okay. Just take some time to adapt! Let's all get to know each other first. As for personalities and everything else, we'll talk about it after awakening our Martial Souls tomorrow!"

Seeing that no one spoke, Ye Han could only take the lead once more. "My name is Ye Han. You can call me Xiao Han. I'm pretty easygoing, I hate getting up early, and I hope we can live peacefully."

Since someone had set an example, someone naturally followed. "Hello, everyone. My name is Todo Aoi. Just call me Todo. Aoi sounds too girly. I'm Ye Han's best friend. One more thing: I like tall women with big butts. Please take care of me from now on."

"Artoria Pendragon, King of Britain. From now on, we are Companions traveling forward together. I hope everyone follows the Knight's Way. Also, may I ask if meals are provided here? This is very important!" Lia asked Ye Han with a serious expression.

Ye Han's mouth twitched slightly. "Yes, and you'll be fed until you're full."

"Very good!" Lia nodded in satisfaction.

"Interesting, truly interesting. My name is Esdeath, a general of the Empire. I believe in the survival of the fittest and enjoy torturing prisoners. If one day I die, it will only mean I was not strong enough!" Esdeath's words immediately provoked Artoria's disgust.

Seeing the tension in the air, Kurumi spoke up. "My name is Kurumi Tokisaki. I'm a Time Spirit. Would you be willing to give me all your time? After coming to this world, the time I collected before can no longer be used."

"Um, my name is Kaede Honjou. There's nothing special about me! I'm just a shut-in gamer girl. I don't know why I was summoned," Kaede Honjou said timidly in a small voice.

After everyone had introduced themselves, Ye Han developed a headache. Personality issues were difficult to resolve, so he decided that out of sight was out of mind. He arranged the dormitories and promptly ran away.
