The Aftermath of the Match: Ling Luochеn Strikes Wang Dong Hard
After the opening match, Jiang Yu's name appeared on the list of key targets and intelligence gathering for almost all participating teams.
A Five-Ring Soul King who can freely use spatial abilities similar to teleportation is practically invincible among the contestants whose average cultivation level is only four rings.
Because low-level Soul Master are simply unable to limit space-type abilities, and many members of powerful teams don't even have experience fighting any level of space-type Soul Master.
The reason is simple: Soul Master Soul Master spatial attributes are extremely rare, even more so than those with mental attributes, and Soul Master cultivation difficulty is even higher.
What they found most outrageous was that even if you claimed to be a space-type Soul Master, wasn't your ability a bit too overpowered?
In less than thirty seconds, Jiang Yu used a large-scale restrictive space-type Soul Skill and a domineering offensive space-type Soul Skill. Many people only saw a flash of silver light before the match was over, and they couldn't even figure out what Jiang Yu's Spirit Ring configuration and Martial Soul were.
While they were frantically worried about their team encountering Shrek Academy in the knockout stage, Jiang Yu had just returned to the Star Emperor Hotel, was attacked by Wu Feng.
"Jiang Yu, you're such a show-off! Can you teach me your skills? I really want to learn!"
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Jiang Yu about to launch into his usual sarcastic retort, but after hearing the second half and looking at Wu Feng's serious expression, he fell silent. He realized that Wu Feng genuinely wanted to learn, not just to tease him.
"Want to learn from me? First, go get a Soul Bone that allows you to teleport."
Not everyone can treat Spatial Traversal and teleportation as common ways of traveling. Jiang Yu has the innate advantage of his Martial Soul. Other Soul Master without spatial attributes only have one way to do these two things.
First, he condensed the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores to break through the Ultimate Douluo.
Second, compensate with Soul Bone or Soul Skill.
Upon hearing Jiang Yu's reply, Wu Feng's expression froze, and he fell silent.
Soul Bone are rare to begin with, and Soul Bone that can possess the ability of teleportation are the finest of the fine; they are not so easy to find.
Could a piece of it possibly fall from the sky?
On the other side, seeing the three people conversing as if no one else was around, Wang Yan, sitting on the other side of the conference table, coughed lightly and then spoke:
"Um, you three, let's stop for a moment. You can talk about your things privately. Let's discuss the upcoming competition first."
Jiang Yu nodded, and Ning Tian and the other woman didn't say anything more.
Seeing this Wang Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief, then looked towards the Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters.
"Xiaotao, how's the situation with the Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters?"
Ma Xiaotao glanced at Jiang Yu, her pale face showing a complex expression, then she said softly:
"My condition, Yao Haoxuan's, and Chen Zifeng's are more serious. Even with our best efforts, it will take at least half a month to recover. Gongyang Mo, Xi Xi, and Ling Luochеn are in much better condition than us. They will recover to their peak condition in ten days at most."
Wang Yan nodded, and then said:
"The opponents in the early stages of the competition won't be too strong. On the reserve team side, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi have recovered most of their strength after being treated by the Medicine Immortal Douluo and taking the pills given by Xuan Zi. Although they haven't returned to their peak strength, their participation in the competition is no longer a problem. Ca itou only suffered minor injuries and has recovered to his peak strength after treatment."
"By the way, Yuhao, how are you doing?"
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were positioned at the very back of the reserve team. Upon hearing Wang Yan's voice, Huo Yuhao quickly looked up and said:
"Teacher Wang, if it's just using the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul for support or control, I have basically no problem. But if I have to use my Second Martial Soul Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, it'll be a bit of a stretch..."
In a critical situation, Ice Empress forcibly used her own source power to help Huo Yuhao unleash the Ice Emperor's Wrath. This action put a great strain on Huo Yuhao's body. If it weren't for the treatment from the Medicine Immortal Douluo, Huo Yuhao might have been crippled by the power he unleashed.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's voice, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at Jiang Yu and said solemnly:
"Jiang, what I'm suggesting is that before all seven members of the Shrek Seven Monsters can play, aside from matches with too much pressure, we could let the reserve team get some experience first. What do you think of that?"
Jiang Yu lazily against the soft back of the chair, nodded upon hearing this, and said:
"I have no objection."
Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Although he was the team leader, Jiang Yu actually held the core decision-making power of the team. In a sense, he was more like a mascot.
After their trip to the Ming Dou Mountain Range, Jiang Yu had become so influential among the Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters that his word was law. As for Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who were the core combatants in the reserve team, they were even more so. They never listened to their teacher, Jiang Yu, on important matters, and only followed his opinions.
Jiang Yu too lazy to listen to the subsequent tactical discussions. He stood up and looked at Ning Tian and Wu Feng.
Want to go out for a walk?
Ning Tian hesitated for a moment, then nodded happily.
Needless to say, Wu Feng has always been Ning Tian's shadow.
Wherever Ning Tian is, a loyal dog Wu Feng will be reassembled in less than five minutes.
After the three left, the atmosphere in the conference room noticeably relaxed a bit.
Of course, this is just Wang Yan's own opinion.
Sitting next to Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong looked up at the soundproof door that had just been closed with a hateful expression, then whispered:
"Going shopping? They actually have the mind to go shopping? They really don't care about the honor of the academy at all. How can people like them become the Shrek Seven Monsters or the Preparatory Shrek Seven Monsters?"
His voice wasn't loud, but the conference hall was too quiet, and everyone's cultivation level was quite high, so they all heard him.
The expressions on everyone's faces were varied. They had all heard about the conflict between Jiang Yu and his two companions and Wang Dong. Coupled with the uproar over the reserve team spots last time, these two sides were practically incompatible. If it weren't for Xuan Zi's strict order before departure, requiring both sides to exercise restraint during the competition even if they couldn't let go of their hatred, given Jiang Yu's temper, it would be questionable whether Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao would even be sitting here right now.
Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out in the conference hall.
"They have the strength and the confidence, and Jiang Yu single-handedly helped the academy secure a perfect first victory in the opening match under immense pressure. If you can withstand that kind of pressure and single-handedly help the academy secure its first victory, as long as you don't go too far, we'll support whatever you want to do."
"Jiang Yu right. A thief is a thief, and he can never be respectable. The things he says are laughable. I am ashamed to associate with people like you."
After saying that, Ling Luochеn got up and left without even glancing at Wang Dong, whose face was flushed, who was panting heavily, and who was clearly on the verge of losing control.
She was aloof by nature, but she had a strong sense of basic morality, propriety, and a sense of shame. Putting aside the life-saving grace... well, that life-saving grace was something she could never forget.
Regardless, Wang Dong's demeanor evoked a physical aversion in her, which in turn made her dislike Huo Yuhao, whom she had initially been curious about.
Birds of a feather flock together; what good could a guy who gets along so well with Wang Dong possibly be?
After Ling Luochеn left, apart from Ma Xiaotao, who escaped the calamity due to her high cultivation level, the other Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters got up and left one after another, following in Ling Luochеn's footsteps.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room froze completely.
