Former Students

Spirit Hall Academy

As a newly formed team, everyone still needs time to gel.

Although everyone except Bian Que has chosen the Power Attack System, everyone can actually do it part-time. Qian Renxue and Xiang Yu, who have flight acceleration Soul Skill, can also do it part-time as agility-attack Soul Master.

Bian Que, Dugu Yan, and Daji can all serve as control-type Soul Master.

Dongfang Jing possesses the strength of Power Attack System, with speed even faster than a speed-based offensive type, and extremely strong control.

Arthur is Soul Master who combines strong offense and defense. After all, with the Holy Shield, he is really tanky. Even Dongfang Jing might not be able to kill him. Arthur's first skill has effects such as silence, speed boost, and enemy locking.

Because they all have their Self-Created Soul Skill, they have a lot of skills, and there are many creative combinations of skills and tactics.

The double poisonous fog of Dugu Yan and Bian Que.

The Dongfang Jing combined with the sword energy of Xiang Yu and Qian Renxue.

Of course, everyone will also try to practice the Seven-Person Unity Soul Ring Fusion Skill. Among them, Xiang Yu has the highest level and the strongest physique, will serve as the final vessel, while Daji has the strongest spirit, will assist in unifying the spiritual frequencies of the seven.

On this day, in coordination with other training, the Spirit Hall First Team and third teams engaged in a real combat sparring match.

Qian Renxue had already gotten used to it.

Aside from the teachers, only three teams from the Spirit Hall Academy could barely spar with them, and even then, only one team always won.

As for the second team, with only two Soul King, the first team could basically knock them off the stage in one round, making a battle completely unnecessary.

Qian Renxue was quite familiar with the members of Team Three, second only to her older brothers and sisters like Xiang Yu.

They were all children of the elders and the honorees, and they often came to the Spirit Hall with their grandfathers. Qian Renxue and they saw each other all the time, and naturally became familiar with each other.

Moreover, the grandfathers in the Worship Hall treated Qian Renxue very well, and out of affection for them, Qian Renxue's initial goodwill towards them was much higher than towards others.

This time Tian Yue no exception. Qian Renxue knocked the last Tian Yue off the stage and slowly folded away the three pairs of beautiful wings beside her.

Tian Yue had taken Martial Soul Awakening Pill and possessed two Martial Soul, both Golden Crocodile Dragon. Although her Second Martial Soul had not yet been equipped with Soul Ring, the Martial Soul of Beast Soul Master naturally provided a physical bonus to the Soul Master, often making them stronger than Weapon Martial Soul Master in the early stages.

Every time Qian Renxue hit her, it felt like fighting a powerful Soul Beast. The impact made her arms go numb, and when her sword struck the faint scales on the other's body, sparks flew and the sound of metal clashing rang out.

"You always persevere to the very end!" Qian Renxue stepped off the stage and helped Tian Yue, whom she had just knocked down, up.

"Couldn't you be a little gentler? It hurts so much! What if you leave a scar?" Tian Yue rolled up her sleeves, looking at the shallow marks on the scales on her arm that hadn't yet been freed from her Martial Soul Possession.

Qian Renxue held back, not using her full strength, but simply using brute force to forcibly knock Tian Yue off the stage.

Upon hearing Tian Yue's words, Qian Renxue's lips twitched.

"With your defense, you could hold my position for an hour if you don't exert yourself."

Bian Que, who had just healed the three injured team members, yawned and said, "It's already noon, let's call it a day and go have lunch!"

As for himself? He needs to catch up on some sleep first.

The teacher glanced at the time, nodded, and said, "Everyone, you can disperse now to rest and have lunch. We'll meet back in the training room at 2 PM."

Upon confirming the disbandment, Bian Que immediately went to his Dean's office within the academy, where there was a small private room for resting.

He needs to get a good night's sleep.

He also has a practical pill-making class for senior students in the afternoon, so he doesn't need to go to the cultivation room.

"Do you need to bring lunch?" Arthur asked, watching Bian Que's departing figure with some concern.

"No need, my assistant has already prepared it for me," Bian Que waved his hand in refusal.

To be precise, his assistant was his teaching assistant at the academy, and could be considered half of Bian Que's apprentice. His daily work involved helping him coordinate class schedules during his busy time, grading assignments, and so on.

Arthur heard this and nodded. "The Pope has finally done something human by assigning Bian Que an assistant."

He was genuinely afraid that Bian Que would return to the Honor Continent in a sudden and tragic way, which would be both heartbreaking and hilarious.

Dongfang Jing, standing nearby, was somewhat admiring. She knew that Bian Que's cultivation method was actually refining and consuming medicine.

Knowledge changes destiny.

Even the seemingly frail pharmacist has her own ways of protecting herself.

Even Dongfang Jing was not confident of defeating Bian Que, who had been enhanced with Immortal Herb.

Bian Que calls himself an auxiliary healer, but in reality, he is a versatile warrior who can heal, control and slow down enemies, and kill them. Among his abilities is a poisonous mist of blood-red Swan that kills anyone who touches it.

However, Dongfang Jing's mindset will not be affected by this; they are simply two different paths to growth.

There's no need to compare. Just keep getting stronger and protect your younger brother.

"The Palace Master is really busy!" Dugu Yan said helplessly. As a member of the Alchemy Hall and a teammate in the same squad, she had wanted to discuss alchemy techniques with Bian Que several times, but she never had the chance.

However, after studying Bian Que's schedule as the head of the Alchemy Hall, a support member of the Spirit Hall First Team, a senior teacher of the Spirit Hall, and the Dean and teacher of the Pharmacy Academy of the Technical Academy.

Dugu Yan felt that she could figure out and solve this small problem herself, and that she was not worthy of wasting the Palace Master's precious time.

It was also she who secretly wrote a letter of recommendation, which led the academy to assign Bian Que a teaching assistant.

After the fight, they went to the cafeteria together, laughing and joking. The sunlight cast long shadows of the children, and their cheerful laughter filled the campus.

However, the group walked very quickly.

The bell will ring soon, and the cafeteria will be packed. We must hurry to the cafeteria in these few minutes.

Chapter 163 Former Student

Meanwhile, Teams Heaven Dou First Team were making their way to Suotuo City, stopping and starting along the way.

They originally planned to go directly through the Balak Kingdom, Balak Kingdom main city Suotuo City, did not have any famous academies.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy's target city is a renowned advanced Soul Master Academy.

Suotuo City, though prosperous, did not align with their chosen objective.

However, Qin Ming, the teacher leading the team, still insisted that the students come here to Soul Fighting.

"I have my reasons, of course. Don't underestimate Suotuo City. Take every opponent seriously, and the same goes for you, Li Bai." That's what Qin Ming said back then.

·····························

Shrek Academy.

Currently, Shrek Academy is short of personnel and can only participate in six-player battles, missing out on the seven-player tournaments that attract the largest audience.

Yu Xiaogang believes that Shrek currently lacks support.

A support ability that can directly boost combat power.

Oscar's first Soul Skill is the Recovery Big Sausage, his second Soul Skill is the Detoxification Small Sausage, and his third Soul Skill is the Hardened Big Sausage, with effects of healing, detoxification, and defense, respectively.

Although the effect was very good, in this kind of arena competition, Oscar's Soul Skill were only useful for his third Soul Skill unless he encountered a specific opponent and had to play in overtime.

Moreover, Oscar's sausage must be prepared and eaten in advance to take effect, and the pace of the arena is fast, and the opponent will not give him a chance to breathe (especially the Power Attack System and agility attack type Soul Master will directly suppress him).

This is the disadvantage of food-type Soul Master compared to other support Soul Master.

Other support Soul Master can directly assist teammates and provide group support as long as they are within the range of their Soul Skill.

Food-type Soul Master must prepare food in advance and hand it to their teammates for it to take effect. Moreover, the food can only exist for a very short time. In a typical battle, food-type Soul Master don't have a chance to send food to provide support. Teammates can only receive the buff by eating the food prepared in advance.

In formal competitions, considering the obvious weaknesses of food-type Soul Master, other support Soul Master are usually chosen.

Yu Xiaogang pointed out this problem directly.

His approach to team composition is not as extreme as that of the Four Element Academies; he places more emphasis on the overall balance of the team.

"So you mean we need to find another student to help?" Flender tapped his fingers on the table, his expression troubled.

Assisted cultivation is inherently slow, and given Shrek's admission requirements—those under twelve years old and above level twenty—virtually none can meet the standards.

and...

"The enrollment period has already passed, and most of the colleges have already accepted their students. I'll go there and find you a support student." Flender shrugged.

"What about those support families? Don't you know any support families who would be willing to help?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

Given Flender's Soul Saint strength, if he were to come knocking, those support families should not dare to refuse.

"I do know a few support families, but they all have powerful backers, and their students are all enrolled in advanced Soul Master Academy. How could they possibly come here?" Flender sighed.

These support families may lack combat power, but they have powerful backers!

Do you really think those support players are easy to mess with?

In advanced Soul Master Academy, the Dean is at least a Soul Saint, and those who are more powerful are Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo. He, a mere Soul Saint, shouldn't be courting death.

Flender came from a commoner background, and although he had made a name for himself over the years, he was still not enough in the eyes of those powerful forces.

Shrek Academy, being such a makeshift organization, is completely unqualified to allow those geniuses from privileged backgrounds to join.

"If Blue Lightning Overlord..." Yu Xiaogang stopped mid-sentence, his face grim.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has all retired.

It will not easily appear before the next Titled Douluo with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is born.

If Yu Xiaogang were to act outside at this awkward time as a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, he would only invite revenge from the former enemies of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Flender understood what Yu Xiaogang meant by not finishing his sentence and continued, "I understand what you mean. I will do my best to find a suitable support student to fill the gap in the Shrek Team."

However, Flender's brow was furrowed as he said this.

·····························

Because of his conversation with Yu Xiaogang today, Flender remembered the two girls who had visited Shrek Academy before.

She had golden, slightly curly hair that made her look very charming and cute. She wore a wreath of lilies on her head, with a white lily on each side, looking pure and beautiful. Her clothes had exquisite patterns and decorations, with special designs at the collar, cuffs, and hem. She wore a gorgeous belt in peacock blue and gold around her waist.

He looks like a child from a noble family, exuding elegance, nobility, and confidence. His Martial Soul is a small, exquisite zither, like a work of art.

A genius with Innate Full Soul Power, a support-type soul master with Martial Soul- type Soul Master.

The other girl has long, flowing white hair that contrasts beautifully with her pink antlers. Her white hair has a subtle sheen in the sunlight or under special effects, making it look ethereal and graceful. Her chubby little round face is very cute, and her eyes are clear and bright, full of warmth and kindness. She has a small nose, slightly upturned lips, and often wears a sweet smile.

The girl's skirt and cuffs feature gradient cloud patterns, paired with hand-carved auspicious cloud designs, creating a gorgeous and layered look.

Surrounded by white butterflies and semi-transparent ribbons, the interplay of reality and illusion creates a dreamlike atmosphere.

Both are Innate Full Soul Power, and are support-type Soul Master with Beast Martial Soul souls.
