Individual Training

Qi Xuan meant every word.

In the original story, Xuan Zi's record as a team leader was downright terrifying: he had led senior sister Zhang Lexuan out to hunt for her eighth soul ring, only for eight of the twelve Inner Court disciples to die in battle;

Before the first Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, he had led the old and new Shrek Seven Monsters out to wipe out some bandits, only for a Soul King to blow up the main team right under his nose, killing one member and severely injuring the other six;

His stint as team leader for the second tournament was even more of a heavyweight disaster, directly triggering the Qiankun Asking Love Valley arc, which had drawn a tidal wave of scathing reviews and shattered every notion of right and wrong.

Qi Xuan was genuinely scared.

This time, he did not even have a teammate, let alone anyone he could offer up as a sacrifice.

Still, this was also a test the academy had set for him-if the situation on the continent had not been so chaotic, the Sea God Pavilion would actually have been quite keen to promote this form of assessment, putting students' various abilities to a genuine test in practice.

Those abilities included, but were not limited to, combat experience, wilderness survival, communication, and thinking on their feet.

Thus, after Qi Xuan's repeated requests, the academy finally agreed to his plan to act alone-but to ensure his safety, Mu En personally gave him a token that would let him respond to Qi Xuan's call at any time, while the Soul Tool Department fitted Qi Xuan with all kinds of automatically triggered defensive soul tools as though money were no object.

He carried eight Invincible Shields alone.

Huo Yuhao even quietly told Qi Xuan that he had tightened a screw on one of those eight Invincible Shields himself.

Although no teacher had officially been assigned to accompany him, Qi Xuan reckoned there would definitely be a teacher protecting him from the shadows.

And it was probably Xuan Zi again.
