Mo Yuan's interest stirred instantly at those words. His brows lifted, and an amused smile surfaced on his face.
He flexed his wrists without releasing the slightest pressure, his tone relaxed and casual.
"Sure, I'll spar with you. Don't worry, I'll hold back."
With that, he strolled to the center of the Training Ground, turned around, and lightly beckoned the seven of them with a finger, utterly composed.
"Come on. Let me see just how much substance you geniuses have in your first team fight together."
Without a moment's hesitation, everyone shifted into combat mode.
"Everyone, take your positions!" Yang Ke commanded in a low voice, his gaze instantly sharpening.
As the team's only frontline defender, he immediately channeled his soul power. The Giant Spirit Shield unfolded at once, its thick, earthen-yellow barrier firmly shielding Lin Chen and Bai Ning. He guarded the team's core support and controller, securing their all-important back line.
Almost simultaneously, Zhu Zhuqing and Tie Zhan activated Martial Soul Possession.
The Hell Spirit Cat's shadows coiled around Zhu Zhuqing, making her movements instantly elusive and unpredictable. Her steps were light and soundless, her killing intent contained as she readied herself to ambush from behind.
The Earth Bear's brute strength erupted. Tie Zhan's body swelled, his muscles tightened, and his physical strength surged to its limit. The oppressive force of his frontal charge instantly spread.
Li Jiaojiao's eyes hardened. She raised her hand and summoned the Vajra Staff, its shaft gleaming coldly as an aura of raw power rushed outward. Her stance was fierce, her attention fixed on the frontal battlefield.
Zhang Ting took position to the side, a pair of Soul-Chasing Crossbows instantly forming in her steady hands. She lowered her body and stood quietly beside Bai Ning, bolts drawn and ready to deliver ranged ambushes
