Bibi Dong was pondering matters concerning Jun Yi and others when Hu Liena entered the Papal Palace. She took out a booklet from her Soul Tool and handed it to Bibi Dong.
"Teacher, I've written down all the information you asked me to collect about Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing."
"Thank you for your hard work, Nana." Bibi Dong took the booklet, flipped through it, and asked, "I heard that Ning Rongrong and the Zhu Family's little girl's Soul Power increased greatly after returning to the Spirit Hall Academy. Is that true?"
"Yes, teacher. Ning Rongrong's Soul Power has broken through to level 43, and Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power has reached level 42. Both of them have increased their Soul Power by at least 10 levels compared to before they left the school."
Hu Liena's expression still held a hint of disbelief. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had only been away from the Spirit Hall Academy for a little over a week, yet their Soul Power had increased by more than 10 levels. Who would believe that?
So when Hu Liena received this news, she went to confirm it herself, and it turned out to be true.
"I saw in your booklet that Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul has evolved and become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?" Bibi Dong said slowly.
"Yes, teacher, I've personally confirmed that Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul has increased from the seventh level to the ninth level," Hu Liena replied.
After saying that, Bibi Dong asked with a hint of doubt, "How did they manage to improve their Martial Soul and Soul Power so much in just a few days?"
Bibi Dong suddenly thought of a possibility: the God Trial, but after careful consideration, she quickly dismissed it.
The God Trial can indeed quickly improve Soul Master's Soul Power and Martial Soul quality, and can even increase the age of Soul Ring. However, Bibi Dong was certain that the two were not undergoing the God Trial.
She has now undergone the Rakshasa God Trial. The Rakshasa God has a characteristic of devouring, which makes her "sense of smell" extremely sensitive. She can clearly perceive the divine aura contained in the entire Spirit City, even the Sisi.
Bibi Dong clearly sensed that the entire Spirit City contained only the aura of the Angel God, and nothing else.
Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong are far too young; how could two twelve-year-old girls possibly come into contact with the existence of gods? Therefore, Bibi Dong was certain that the God Trial was not the reason for their advancement.
"Have you found out how they did it?" Bibi Dong asked Dugu Yan.
"I don't know the specific reason, but I heard Ning Rongrong mention before that ' Jun Yi gave us the best, but he only leveled up by 5,' so I guess this matter is likely related to Jun Yi."
Hu Liena recalled her previous conversation with Ning Rongrong, in which Ning Rongrong fell silent after saying that sentence and changed the subject.
"Is it related to him again? How much more does Jun Yi have that we don't know? Soul Tool Technology that has been lost for nearly ten thousand years, unparalleled monstrous talent, and now the ability to rapidly increase Soul Power."
At this point, Bibi Dong sighed and quipped, "Such a person was actually an orphan picked up by Xue Qinghe. Why don't I have such luck?"
"Although Jun Yi grew up in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he has no hostility towards our Spirit Hall. In the future, we may be able to recruit him to join our Spirit Hall," Hu Liena said.
Bibi Dong nodded, then asked, " Nana, what stage has the matter of creating the Soul Tool reached?"
"It's incredibly difficult. Although we obtained the blueprints for making Soul Tool, the failure rate for inscribing the Core Array is extremely high," Hu Liena replied.
"No rush, let's take it slow. As long as our Spirit Hall can create Soul Tool, then in the future, the Spirit Hall will be the undisputed authority in the Soul Master world and even the entire Douluo Continent. At that time, even the two great empires will no longer be an obstacle for us."
Bibi Dong returned the booklet to Hu Liena, then stared at the information about Jun Yi, muttering, "I just hope you'll be sensible enough to join our Spirit Hall in the future."
The next morning, at the Heaven Dou Imperial Family Knights training ground, all the academy students had arrived, ready to begin today's team competition.
Meanwhile, a large portion of the audience was chanting " Jun Yi's" name. Because of Jun Yi's amazing performance yesterday, he had become an idol in the hearts of many students.
" Little Brother Jun, everyone's calling your name right now. I hope you won't disappoint them with your performance today," Dugu Yan said, covering her face and laughing as she teased Jun Yi.
Jun Yi shook his head and said helplessly, "Today I'll just play support and be a Control System Soul Master. Jun Yi leave the offense to you all." He then turned to Osler, Yu Feng, and the others, saying, "Everyone, feel free to attack boldly today. I'll control the situation from the rear and make sure you don't suffer any harm."
"Really?"
Osler and the others were quite excited. They had been feeling a bit awkward about not having a chance to play in this team competition, but Jun Yi had unexpectedly chosen to control the situation from the back, giving them the opportunity to make their move. This was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for them to perform! As long as they attacked with all their might, defeating the opponent would be no problem.
Jun Yi patted his chest and said, "Of course, I'm very trustworthy."
Osler laughed and said, "Alright, let's go all out today and show off our teamwork."
As the referees stepped onto the stage, the competition officially began. Since the competition was divided into three groups, the matches of the three groups were to be held simultaneously, thus the stage was divided into three sections today.
Jun Yi's opponents are Thunder Academy and Canghui Academy, neither of which are particularly strong to be honest. After the draw, Thunder Academy and Canghui Academy will be their first opponents in the first round.
Jun Yi and his group waited in the competition area for the two academies to enter the arena for their Soul Fighting. During this time, Dugu Yan spoke up, "Our group was lucky; we drew the weakest of the ten participating academies. The seven members of the Canghui Academy shouldn't last more than a few rounds against the Thunder Academy."
Jun Yi shook his head, not entirely agreeing with Dugu Yan's opinion, saying, "Not necessarily. None of the participating academies are particularly weak; Thunder Academy might also suffer an upset."
Canghui Academy is indeed weak, but Jun Yi remembers that their academy has a special move, the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill. This fusion technique is quite overpowered; it can directly destroy the opponent's will through Divine Power. If they hadn't encountered Tang San, they probably could have gone much further.
"They've come on stage," Dugu Yan reminded them.
Jun Yi looked up and saw students from the Thunder Academy, dressed in sky-blue outfits, and Canghui Academy, dressed in pure white uniforms, stepping onto the arena...
