Qian Renxue's idea
When Qin Ming returned to the Shrek Academy in Suotuo City, there were also new arrangements made at the Heaven Dou Academy.
After the exchange matches, Zhi Lin had new ideas about the formation and training of the team. Simply working in isolation wouldn't produce a powerful Soul Fighting team. Therefore, he planned to send the Heaven Dou Team to challenge various high-level Soul Master Academy within the Empire!
In this way, they can not only hone their teams and competitors, but also collect information on the participating teams from various high-level Soul Master Academy, and analyze their intelligence and combat strength.
In this way, they will have an absolute information advantage in the future high-level Soul Master Academy competition. With Lu Yang being an exceptionally strong player, their chances of winning will be even greater.
The Heaven Dou Team One had no objections to this arrangement, as they had learned from the exchange matches. Now, being able to spar with all the high-level Soul Master Academy within the Empire was a good thing for them.
Within the Heaven Dou Empire, they had already sparred with the most renowned elemental academies. Therefore, their first stop was the Balak Kingdom, under the Empire's jurisdiction, where they planned to challenge academies qualified to participate in the Soul Master Tournament.
However, before setting off, they had a sparring match in Heaven Dou Heaven Dou City against another high-level Soul Master Academy, Blue Tyrant Academy.
Just from the name, it's clear that this academy has an unbreakable connection with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects. In fact, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's support for the Blue Tyrant Academy might even be greater than that for the Thunder Academy.
Of course, this is just an outsider's perspective. After all, the size of the Blue Tyrant Academy and its name are enough to make people wonder.
In reality, Blue Tyrant Academy is far inferior to the Thunder Academy in terms of both teaching staff and resources. At least the Dean of the Thunder Academy is a Soul Douluo, while the Dean of the Blue Tyrant Academy is only a Soul Saint. The difference in strength between the two is obvious.
Moreover, Blue Tyrant Academy only admits children from commoner families. It's not that they don't accept children from noble families, but rather that very few children from noble families would choose them.
To say that Blue Tyrant Academy is weak is not necessarily true. Given their previous setbacks in the exchange matches, the Heaven Dou Team takes this Soul Fighting very seriously.
Blue Tyrant Academy did not refuse Heaven Dou Academy's request for sparring and exchange.
The Crown Prince's Residence.
On his day off, Lu Yang returned to the Crown Prince's Residence's residence and dined with Qian Renxue. During the meal, Qian Renxue suddenly asked about the Heaven Dou Team's plans to challenge various academies.
"That's true. It was a plan proposed by the Zhi Lin Education Committee," Lu Yang said.
"Our first opponent is Blue Tyrant Academy, the high-level Soul Master Academy in Heaven Dou City."
"Blue Tyrant Academy? I remember that's a high-level Soul Master Academy supported by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, right?"
" Among the Upper Three Sects, the Clear Sky Sect has retreated to its mountain gates and closed its doors, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect focuses on commercial operations and has not established its own Soul Master Academy, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has supported two high-level Soul Master Academy all at once. I don't know what they were thinking," Qian Renxue said.
"I think it's probably also to cultivate future talent," Lu Yang said.
"Although both Blue Tyrant Academy and Thunder Academy are high-level Soul Master Academy supported by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, very few of their members are actually direct descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and there are hardly any ordinary disciples either. The reason for establishing these academies is probably as a means to cultivate and attract external forces, absorbing them into the sect and enriching its strength."
"What you say is quite plausible." Qian Renxue found Lu Yang's guess to be very credible.
Just like their Spirit Hall Academy, wasn't it established to cultivate Soul Master loyal to the Spirit Hall? Students who graduate from the Spirit Hall Academy rarely join other sects or organizations; they almost always go directly into the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall after graduation and become its backbone.
"Snow Sis, would you like to come and take a look when the time comes?" Lu Yang suggested.
"Haven't you been following the formation of the Heaven Dou Team closely? This is a good opportunity to come and verify the situation directly."
"Go and see for yourself?" Qian Renxue was indeed tempted by Lu Yang's suggestion.
She thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, I'll go take a look too."
"But Xiao Yang, are you confident in defeating Spirit Hall Academy and winning the championship?" Qian Renxue asked.
"To be honest, I do have some confidence. However, given the team's current situation, it will still be quite difficult. After all, while the Heaven Dou Team has some strength, its raw power is not enough. Even if we compete against high-level Soul Master Academy within the Empire, the Heaven Dou Team cannot say that they can win with certainty," Lu Yang said.
"So if the key to victory or defeat rests entirely on my shoulders, it's still a bit of pressure."
"What you said makes sense. Do you need my help?" Qian Renxue asked.
"Snow Sis, you're helping me? Are you planning to enter the competition directly?" Lu Yang asked in surprise.
When Lu Yang asked her this, Qian Renxue was speechless. It was already quite abstract for her to support a team to elbow the Spirit Hall Team. If she were to participate herself, the scene would definitely be very exciting when she activated her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul in the finals.
As for the consequences, Qian Renxue didn't dare to think about them. She could even picture the expressions on the faces of the Spirit Hall's higher-ups just by thinking about it. Especially that woman, her expression would definitely be very unpleasant.
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue was genuinely tempted. However, upon further reflection, she realized the grandfathers in the Worship Hall would likely have even more interesting expressions upon seeing that scene. And the consequences...
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue quickly shook her head. Even if she wanted to elbow Bibi Dong, she couldn't disregard her grandfathers' feelings. In the end, she gave up the idea.
"I certainly can't participate directly, but I can help you find some better helpers. What do you think?" Qian Renxue suggested.
"That's a good idea. If we can gather more powerful opponents, our chances of winning will be even greater." Lu Yang nodded.
"So, do you have any ideas?" Qian Renxue pressed.
"Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu from the Skywater Academy. These two are quite strong, one with control and the other with support, and they also have Martial Soul Fusion Skill. If we could recruit them, our chances of winning would definitely be much greater. They could replace Osler and Yu Feng, whose strength is too weak. Even if they could improve, it wouldn't be enough," Lu Yang said directly.
"I understand." Qian Renxue memorized the two names.
"But Xiao Yang, I remember that Skywater Academy is an academy made up entirely of beautiful girls. You picked these two right away, are you interested in them?" Qian Renxue teased.
