Imperial Fighting Team

"Qin Ming pays his respects to Chairman Meng Shenji and Chairman Zhilin!"

The atmosphere in the offices of the three chairmen was harmonious. At that moment, Chairman Bai Baoshan entered with a handsome, spirited young teacher in tow. This man was Qin Ming, currently a teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Exceptionally gifted, he was now a Six-Ring Soul Emperor and served as the instructor leading the Imperial Fighting Team.

Meng Shenji's plan was simple: have the academy's most talented young teacher instruct its most talented young student. Not only would this demonstrate how highly the three chairmen valued Wang Tianyi, but after some time, they could naturally arrange for Wang Tianyi to become an official member of the Imperial Fighting Team.

"Teacher Qin Ming is here. Let me introduce you. This is Wang Tianyi, a student who has newly joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy. At only twelve years old, he already possesses level 32 Soul Power. He is a rare genius! After unanimous discussion among the three of us, we have decided that Wang Tianyi will study alongside the Imperial Fighting Team. We hope Teacher Qin Ming will look after him."

Meng Shenji's words greatly shocked Qin Ming. A twelve-year-old Three-Ring Soul Elder? This talent surpassed even his own from back then by several levels! After all, when he was twelve, he had only been level 25.

Qin Ming was naturally delighted to have such a genius join the Imperial Fighting Team. However, having come from Shrek Academy, a trace of doubt instinctively arose within him—why had a monster like this not joined Shrek Academy?

Qin Ming studied Wang Tianyi, while Wang Tianyi was also studying this second-youngest Soul Emperor in the continent's history. Reaching such cultivation in his thirties was indeed outstanding, but what was puzzling was why such a genius had only obtained a thousand-year Soul Ring as his fifth ring. It was simply a waste of Qin Ming's talent. He had originally had the potential to become a Titled Douluo, but burdened by that thousand-year fifth ring, he would likely stop at the Eight-Ring Soul Douluo level in this lifetime.

After all, across the entire Douluo Continent, the only one who had broken through to become a Titled Douluo with a thousand-year fifth ring was Snake Lance Douluo She Long of Spirit Hall.

"Tianyi, Teacher Qin Ming is the finest young teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy! I believe you will learn plenty under his guidance. Of course, if anything happens at the academy in the future, you may also come find us three old fellows."

Meng Shenji displayed tremendous goodwill. Wang Tianyi nodded. His attitude was not particularly enthusiastic, nor did he show any hostility toward Qin Ming. He merely wanted a place where he could continue growing stronger and trigger more system choices. As for whom he might encounter, as long as they did not provoke him, it did not matter.

"Wang Tianyi, right? I'm Qin Ming. My Martial Soul is the Blazing Fire Wolf, and I'll be your teacher from now on. Come on, I'll take you to meet your future classmates first!"

There were some matters Qin Ming could not discuss in front of the three chairmen. He warmly led Wang Tianyi away from the office building, arranged a luxurious single dormitory for him, and introduced some of the academy's historic buildings. Once Wang Tianyi had gained a preliminary understanding of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Qin Ming brought him to the Imperial Fighting Team's exclusive training grounds.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy has a long history, and it is filled with extraordinarily gifted young Soul Masters. Still, with your talent, Tianyi, you naturally belong among the very best in this academy. Next, I'll introduce you to the members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Imperial Fighting Team. You should have heard of the Imperial Fighting Team..."

As they walked, Qin Ming introduced things to Wang Tianyi. Wang Tianyi, as a transmigrator, already knew much of it, but since he would be studying here from now on, learning more could only be beneficial.

"We're here!"

Following Qin Ming's gaze, Wang Tianyi turned his head and saw seven people standing on the lavish training grounds. Each of them emanated the unique Soul Power fluctuations of a Soul Elder. They wore academy uniforms noticeably more splendid than those of the other students, with the words "Imperial Fighting" embroidered across their chests in soaring script. They were clearly Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Imperial Fighting Team.

"Teacher Qin Ming, you're so late today!"

A handsome young man with a lively temperament came over with a playful grin. He casually draped an arm over Qin Ming's shoulder. Qin Ming showed no displeasure, clearly long accustomed to such behavior.

"Huh? Where did this little brother come from? He's really incredibly handsome!"

The young man was naturally familiar with others. His large eyes stared at Wang Tianyi, and he had intended to step forward and strike up a conversation. However, he sensed the aura around Wang Tianyi that kept people at a thousand miles' distance. He withdrew his hand awkwardly, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Stop fooling around, Yu Feng. Get back in formation!"

"Let me introduce everyone!"

Looking at the seven official members of the Imperial Fighting Team gathered together, Qin Ming put on a serious expression. He stepped aside to make room for Wang Tianyi, signaling for him to step forward. In an instant, all seven pairs of eyes focused on Wang Tianyi.

"This is Wang Tianyi, a student who has newly joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy! From now on, he'll cultivate together with everyone!"

Qin Ming's words were brief, but the seven of them heard another meaning within them.

What did he mean by cultivating together with them?

Did that mean this kid, who looked no more than twelve or thirteen, was actually qualified to cultivate alongside the Imperial Fighting Team? And judging from Teacher Qin Ming's meaning, was he planning to replace one of them and become an official team member in the future?

The strong had no need to worry, nor did the exceptional. The only ones who needed to be concerned were the few weak links in the team.

For example, Yu Feng, who had spoken earlier. His Martial Soul was the Wind Spirit Bird, and he was a level 36 agility-attack Battle Soul Elder. Beside him was Osler, dressed entirely in black, which made his skin appear especially fair. His Martial Soul was the Ghost Leopard, and he too was a level 36 agility-attack Battle Soul Elder. Of course, Shi Mo, one of the Shi brothers, also tensed inwardly. Although his Soul Power was level 37, his older brother Shi Mo was already level 38. Moreover, having two defense-type members in one team was an undeniable weakness.

"Teacher Qin Ming!"

The one who spoke was Yu Tianheng, standing at the center of the group, dressed in blue and wearing an arrogant expression! Born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he already possessed level 39 Soul Power. He was the strongest member of the team and its captain. As captain, he naturally would not allow just any nobody to join the Imperial Fighting Team.

"May I ask what level this student Wang Tianyi's Soul Power is?"

"Well..."

Faced with Yu Tianheng's question, Qin Ming gave a mischievous smile and deliberately kept him in suspense. While Bai Baoshan had led him into the office building, Qin Ming had already heard from him that Wang Tianyi's Martial Soul was of extremely high quality and that he absolutely possessed the qualifications to become an official team member!

Among Soul Masters, if one wanted to quickly close the distance and gain everyone's recognition for an outsider, the best method was to have a spar!

"Tianheng, how about you spar with Tianyi? Let me warn you first: this kid's Martial Soul is extremely powerful. Although he only has level 32 Soul Power, he might not necessarily lose to you!"

It was a provocation, an exceedingly crude provocation, yet it stirred anger within Yu Tianheng.

An extremely powerful Martial Soul?

Across the entire Douluo Continent, what Martial Soul would dare call itself powerful before the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?

Clearly, Yu Tianheng had taken the bait.
