There was still some time before the Soul Master Tournament. Rumor had it that Spirit Hall had run into some problems, so the event had been postponed again.
Chen An had no idea what had happened. He asked Ning Fengzhi, but Ning Fengzhi did not know much either, only saying that it was an issue on Spirit Hall's end. After all, they were the hosts this year. As for asking Suotuo City's lord, forget it. What could the lord of a border city possibly know that Ning Fengzhi did not? Impossible!
There was no need to concern himself with it anyway. It was someone else's internal affair. What mattered more now was preparation for battle. The students were still somewhat lacking in strength; not one of them had broken through to level forty yet.
It would have been understandable for ordinary students, but even the Rocket Class, even his personal disciples, were like this. That was not very acceptable.
By his standards, reaching level thirty across the board was the bare minimum. After pouring so many resources into them, this result was somewhat inadequate.
"Looks like they've been too comfortable."
After thinking it over, he still needed to raise the bar and set some new goals. Speaking of which, the nearby villages had quite a few requests for Phantom Star students to help out.
He was quite curious why they did not post those requests in Suotuo City and instead all came to Phantom Star. It was starting to resemble an adventurers' guild. Of course, it was only because the academy teachers had accepted a few commissions when they had nothing better to do, using them for teaching purposes.
"Ah, I'd better wait until they reach level forty before letting them go out for training."
That was what he thought.
