Qin Ming's Teaching Method is Running!

Qin Ming knew that going against the education committee and still obtaining this much authority was already a major concession, so he did not keep pressing.

Yu Tianheng was unconvinced, but he had no reason to make a scene, so he could only stand silently at the side.

Seeing that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling beside him only had Xia Yuan in their eyes, Yu Tianheng felt even more stifled.

The final spot on the Imperial Fighting Team was selected very quickly.

As outstanding students among the Heaven-Tier students, the agility-attack system Yu Feng and Aosiluo ultimately stood out.

But Yu Feng's martial soul was the Wind Bell Bird, allowing him to fly high in the air, while Aosiluo's martial soul was the Ghost Leopard. Compared to Yu Feng, his role was smaller.

On top of that, Xia Yuan was also ground combat power, so Aosiluo's usefulness was not that great. In the end, he could only withdraw with regret.

At this point, all members of the Imperial Fighting Team had been decided.

At the same time, Xia Yuan would serve as captain of the Imperial Fighting Team, while Yu Tianheng would serve as vice-captain.

Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng honestly accepted this outcome.

Seeing this, the three education committee members, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin, also nodded in satisfaction.

Qian Renxue said to Meng Shenji, "Committee Member Meng, then I shall return first."

"Your Highness, please." Meng Shenji gave a salute.

Qian Renxue took two steps, then stopped again. "By the way, Committee Member Meng, the next Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is of utmost importance."

"In ordinary times, you should set aside more time to pay attention to the Imperial Fighting Team."

Meng Shenji said, "Naturally."

Although he did not know why the crown prince cared more about the next tournament rather than this one, where the team had already built up coordination, since the crown prince had said so, he would do it.

Emperor Xue Ye's body had already begun to decline like the sun sinking beyond the western hills.

As crown prince, Xue Qinghe was also the most capable of Emperor Xue Ye's only two remaining children aside from Princess Xue Ke, and he was the unquestioned choice for succession.

All the dukes and ministers in court believed that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would surely lead the Heaven Dou Empire out of its former weak position in the future and gradually toward strength.

After seeing Qian Renxue off, Meng Shenji looked at Zhi Lin again. "Committee Member Zhi, it seems to me that Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng are still secretly dissatisfied with Xia Yuan."

"In ordinary times, I will have to trouble you to keep a closer eye on them. If there is an urgent moment, you may make a decision first."

Zhi Lin said thoughtfully, "Committee Member Meng, a year ago, Xia Yuan and Yu Tianheng did cause that sort of incident, after all."

"Even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has not expressed any stance, Yu Tianheng is young and hot-blooded. In the future, he may still have conflicts with Xia Yuan."

"I think what we should do is eliminate the conflict in advance while it is still in the bud."

Bai Baoshan said, "Committee Member Zhi, you make it sound easy, but matters between young people are hardly as simple as we imagine."

"Besides, compared to the conflict between Xia Yuan and Yu Tianheng, I'm more worried about Qin Ming."

"From the look of it, he seems to have quite a few complaints about Xia Yuan..."

"Let's observe for now," Meng Shenji said. "If it truly won't work, then we will resolve the problem in the most respectable way."

Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin slowly nodded.

On the other side, in the small square, Qin Ming looked at the seven people who had already lined up.

"Since I have taken on the task of guiding the Imperial Fighting Team, from now on, you will obey my orders."

"You may address me as Teacher Qin."

"The captain's position has been internally decided, so I will not deal with it..."

Dugu Yan frowned as she listened.

Qin Ming's words were far too blunt, and far too unreasonable.

Why exactly had he been hostile toward Xia Yuan from the very beginning?

If Xia Yuan counted as having been internally appointed captain, then hadn't Qin Ming previously giving Yu Tianheng the captain's position also been a direct internal appointment?

But seeing that Xia Yuan did not flare up, Dugu Yan also held herself back and did not overstep.

Xia Yuan did not care about these little barbed remarks from Qin Ming.

But he also did not understand how he had somehow offended Qin Ming after being away for a year.

Unless Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng had some kind of relationship.

Qin Ming continued, "Yu Tianheng, as a power-attack system spirit master, and with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, you have powerful burst strength and are the team's main attacker."

"Dugu Yan, your Jade Phosphorus Snake martial soul uses poison as its means of attack and has a unique talent in controlling the field. You are the team's main control spirit master."

"Ye Lingling, your Nine Heart Begonia martial soul possesses healing abilities. You are the team's only auxiliary spirit master."

"Shimo, Shi Mo, you brothers both have the Black Tortoise martial soul, with powerful defense. The quality of your martial souls is no worse than Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."

"When facing the enemy, you must make use of the advantage of your defensive abilities and create favorable offensive conditions for the team's main attacker."

"Yu Feng, your Wind Bell Bird martial soul must fully use its mobility advantage in the air and harass the enemy as much as possible."

"And..." Qin Ming looked at Xia Yuan.

"I don't have your detailed information. What path do you follow?"

Xia Yuan said calmly, "Mutated martial soul, Blue Silver Grass. Control system."

Control system?

Yu Tianheng's cheek twitched.

"Blue Silver Grass? Control system?" Qin Ming found it hard to imagine how Xia Yuan had defeated Yu Tianheng back then.

And Blue Silver Grass... wasn't that a trash martial soul? He could actually enter the academy?

No, wait... Xia Yuan had even already broken through to the third ring!

Qin Ming grew even more confused.

His own martial soul was the mutated martial soul Blazing Wolf, so he naturally knew martial souls could undergo beneficial mutations.

But how could a Blue Silver Grass martial soul mutate?

Qin Ming reminded them again, "In any case, the seven of you will form the Imperial Fighting Team from now on and receive special guidance."

"My teaching style is completely different from that of other teachers and other academies. I hope you'll prepare yourselves mentally first."

"So now, we'll begin the first item of training."

He stepped aside and swept his gaze over the plaza behind him. "Running."

"Running?" Dugu Yan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Xia Yuan was already starting to regret not driving Qin Ming away outright just now, out of consideration for "Xue Qinghe" and the three education board members.

Yu Tianheng, on the other hand, looked perfectly calm, as though he had known this all along.

Qin Ming said in a clear voice, "That's right. Running."

"A former teacher of mine told me that what an academy should teach most isn't how to cultivate your martial soul, but how to use it."

"But what does that have to do with running?" Dugu Yan still did not understand.

Qin Ming looked at Ye Lingling and asked, "Ye Lingling, you're the only support-system soul master on the team. You tell me."

"If one day you go onto a battlefield, then as a support-system soul master, how should you protect yourself?"

Ye Lingling blinked, and her cool voice drifted over. "For me... perhaps that day when I go onto a battlefield will never come?"

"Impudent!" Qin Ming clearly had not expected Ye Lingling to give such an answer. He immediately shouted, startling several of them.

"I just said that from now on, you are to obey my orders!"

"Ye Lingling, do you think this is funny?"
