The Soul Master Competition for this year has concluded.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy possesses the best teaching facilities and the most powerful teaching staff in the Heaven Dou Empire, yet still did not achieve good results.

The overall strength of the students was inferior to the major elemental academies within the Heaven Dou Empire, as well as the even more powerful Martial Soul Hall Academy and Star Luo Empire Royal Academy.

The three high-ranking officials of the academy's Teaching Committee, after deep reflection, decided to implement bold reforms to the school team.

In selecting new team members, they chose young students with potential, rather than older students with higher Soul Power Levels.

After all, they still had five years, and young students with potential were more worthy of cultivation.

The seven main members of the school team are:

Yu Tianheng, Martial Soul Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Level Thirty-two Assault System Battle Soul Elder, Soul Rings: Two Yellow, One Purple.

Long Chen, Martial Soul Dark Night Demonic Lute, Level Thirty-two Control System Battle Soul Elder, Soul Rings: Two Yellow, One Purple.

Dugu Yan, Martial Soul Jade Phosphorous Serpent, Level Thirty-one Control System Battle Soul Elder, Soul Rings: Two Yellow, One Purple.

Shi Mo, Martial Soul Black Tortoise, Level Thirty-one Defense System Battle Soul Elder, Soul Rings: Two Yellow, One Purple.

Yu Feng, Martial Soul Wind Chime Bird, Level Twenty-nine Agile Attack System Soul Master, Soul Rings: Two Yellow.

Osler, Martial Soul Ghost Leopard, Level Twenty-nine Agile Attack System Soul Master, Soul Rings: Two Yellow.

Ye Lingling, Martial Soul Nine Heart Begonia, Level Twenty-four Support System Tool Soul Master, Soul Rings: Two Yellow.

Among these seven main team members, the oldest is no more than sixteen years old.

Ye Lingling is the youngest and has the lowest Soul Power Level, but she is very important to the team, her role irreplaceable, and she possesses immense potential.

The moment the roster was announced, Long Chen found Ye Lingling.

"Lingling, I was right, wasn't I? You not only became a member of the school team but also a main player."

Ye Lingling's face was beaming with a brilliant smile, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Brother Chen, I never expected that I could also become a main player on the school team and fight alongside you. This feeling is wonderful!"

"Let's go, we need to gather at the training grounds."

The academy's Chief of the Teaching Committee, Meng Shenji, summoned the seven members of this newly formed school team to the training grounds.

Meng Shenji stood in the center of the training grounds, with a young man standing beside him.

The man looked around thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, simple black hair, and dressed very plainly.

Meng Shenji's gaze, stern yet kind, swept over each team member, and he began to congratulate them.

"Congratulations on standing out from many excellent students and becoming a member of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy school team. This is not only recognition of your personal strength but also the hope for our academy to achieve breakthroughs in the Soul Master Competition in the future."

After speaking, he stepped aside, signaling the young man standing beside him to step forward.

"Today, I have another important announcement. This is Teacher Qin Ming, and he will be the team leader for your upcoming training and preparation. Although Teacher Qin Ming is only thirty years old, he is already a fifty-fifth rank Battle Soul King. He is a teacher with great ideas and potential, and he will inject new vitality and tactical concepts into our team."

Qin Ming nodded slightly, his eyes calm and profound.

Although he lacked flamboyant decorations and an ostentatious demeanor, the composure and confidence radiating from within made people involuntarily feel respect.

"I am very happy to learn and improve together with all of you. In the coming days, I will do my best to help everyone improve their strength and make the fullest preparations for the next Soul Master Competition."

Meng Shenji nodded with satisfaction, his gaze falling on the seven team members again.

"Each of you is an indispensable part of the team, supporting each other and progressing together. I hope you can achieve better results in the Soul Master Competition five years from now and bring glory to the academy."

As Meng Shenji's words fell, warm applause erupted on the training ground.

Afterward, Meng Shenji left, handing over the subsequent teaching to Qin Ming.

Long Chen knew that Qin Ming was the first batch of graduates from Shrek Academy and the most outstanding graduate in the twenty years since Shrek's establishment.

He served as a teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and was highly valued by the academy's Teaching Committee due to his exceptional talent and outstanding strength.

This time, the academy's Teaching Committee had made a bold reform.

Not only were more promising young students selected as the main players for the school team, but the Tianzhi Rank teacher Qin Ming was also appointed as the team leader.

Qin Ming's gaze swept across everyone, lingering for a moment on Long Chen.

Then he said:

"Among you seven, some are Tianhui Rank, some are Tianzhi Rank, and some are Tiandou Rank. None of that matters. In future studies and training, I will treat you all equally and provide guidance based on the characteristics of your martial souls and soul skills."

Qin Ming paused, then continued:

"Every team will have a captain and a vice-captain, who are responsible for the team. Our team has just been formed, so we need to select a captain and vice-captain. I would like to hear your opinions first."

Several people looked uniformly at Yu Tianheng and Long Chen.

In this world where strength reigns supreme, strength determines everything.

According to past practice, the boss of the team would inevitably be the strongest one.

Long Chen and Yu Tianheng were both Thirty-second Rank, one Control System and the other Assault System.

If one of them were to be chosen as captain, Yu Tianheng, who was older and had a better background, would certainly be the first choice.

After all, behind Yu Tianheng was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects.

Moreover, he was a senior student, while Long Chen was new and too young to command respect.

Long Chen took the initiative to speak:

"Teacher Qin Ming, I believe it's more suitable for Yu Tianheng to be the captain and Dugu Yan to be the vice-captain."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Long Chen to voluntarily give up his position.

Given Long Chen's strength and potential, even if he couldn't be captain, he could still command respect as vice-captain.

Shi Mo said:

"I agree with Long Chen's proposal."

Among these seven people, Shi Mo was the oldest and was classmates with Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan.

Long Chen had also been his classmate for a period, so they were not strangers.

He knew that Long Chen was a low-key and introverted person who wouldn't care about being captain.

Ye Lingling and the other two students also nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Qin Ming said:

"Then it's decided. From today onwards, you are all members of the Royal Fighting Team, with Yu Tianheng as captain and Dugu Yan as vice-captain."

"Understood!"

The team had just been formed today, so there wasn't much training. They simply had a brief exchange to get acquainted with each other.

Afterward, Long Chen and Ye Lingling walked towards the dormitory building, and Dugu Yan caught up from behind.

"Long Chen, why did you give the vice-captain position to me?"

Long Chen calmly replied:

"I am too young and not suitable to be vice-captain. It's more appropriate for you to take the role."

"You're too modest."

"No. By the way, I have a few pills here. If you trust me, you can try taking one when the poison in your body acts up. It can alleviate your pain."

As Long Chen spoke, he handed the pre-prepared pills to Dugu Yan.
