A few days later, the new Sun Moon Team was established. All members of this team were selected through various screening processes, including practical training and selection for Soul Tool making. There are now eight members in total.
Xu Zhengyang served as the captain, Xiao Hongchen as the vice-captain, and the other members included Meng Hongchen, Lan Xiu, Ye Canshang Qiu Yi, Qiu Yi, Ding Xiaobu, and Ye Nongfeng. All eight of them were from Class One, including the seven Soul Elder who entered the class at the time, as well as Ye Nongfeng, who had performed well.
In terms of Soul Power Level, Xu Zhengyang is currently at level 44, Xiao Hongchen at level 53, and Meng Hongchen at level 52. In addition, Lan Xiu, Ye Canshang, and Qiu Yi are at level 44, Ding Xiaobu and Ye Nongfeng are at level 43. They were able to reach the Soul Ancestor realm at the age of fourteen, which shows that their talents are indeed quite good. According to this development, they can at least reach the top Soul King realm in five years, and may even have the hope of breaking through to Soul Emperor.
Moreover, none of these people used the academy's drugs to quickly increase their Soul Power Level. Each level of Soul Power was cultivated by themselves, with the most they might have taken Mysterious Water Pill.
Moreover, judging from their situation, they are generally at least at the seventh level of Innate Soul Power, and can be considered geniuses wherever they go. However, Xu Zhengyang is also very clear that, given their situation, the Soul Master Tournament five years from now will be extremely fierce, because at that time, the opposing side will have Soul Sage level experts.
Besides these people, there was another unexpected person. This person was a girl who looked somewhat pretty and cute, yet also a bit mischievous and adorable. In every aspect, she was very capable and was a new transfer student who was directly admitted to Class One.
When she first entered the class a few days ago, the others thought this little girl was quite cute and even wanted to tease her, but she ended up teaching them a lesson on the spot. Xu Zhengyang was speechless at this person, but he couldn't help but marvel at her talent.
This person is named Xu Tianzhen. He is only thirteen years old, but his Soul Power Level has already reached an astonishing level of forty-six, and his Martial Soul Sun.
This was the genius that Crown Prince Xu Tianran had mentioned. Xu Zhengyang had already guessed it, but he was even more surprised when he saw the real person.
Xu Tianzhen possesses the best Martial Soul and the most outstanding talent. At such a young age, she has reached level 46. In terms of talent, she is no less than Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. Even Xu Zhengyang is a little amazed.
Unfortunately, on her first day of school, this girl got into a big fight with others, taught several classmates a lesson, and seemed very rebellious.
Xu Tianzhen spoke immediately after announcing the training plan for all team members.
"Wait a minute, why is Xu Zhengyang the captain and Xiao Hongchen the vice-captain? Shouldn't there be an election? Regardless of talent and ability, I am the best candidate for captain."
Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and the others exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this. As the class monitor of Class One, Xu Zhengyang, with his formidable strength and outstanding achievements in the past, had always been the undisputed leader in the class, earning the utmost respect from everyone, and virtually no one dared to contradict Xu Zhengyang.
The sudden arrival of this new transfer student in the class was already strange, but it was unexpected that he would dare to question Xu Zhengyang.
Xu Zhengyang remained calm. He knew very well that although Xu Tianzhen was arrogant and rebellious, she did have the right to be so, because she was the only daughter of the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. Moreover, due to her special status, even the princes doted on her, which led to her lawless personality.
Xu Zhengyang didn't hesitate. "In the Soul Master World, strength is always paramount. I became the captain because I am the strongest among everyone, and I have a systematic training method that can make everyone stronger."
Xu Tianzhen said, "I don't see what's so strong about you. You're a year older than me, but your Soul Power Level is lower than mine. If my brother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have come to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. I was originally the captain of the Mingdu Academy."
Xu Zhengyang, instead of being angry, laughed, "This is quite interesting. With your status and position, why don't you want to come to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy? Why do you want to go to the Mingdu Academy?"
Xu Tianzhen rolled her eyes at Xu Zhengyang: "I don't like researching Soul Tool. Cultivating Martial Soul is much more fun. Besides, if my father and older brother hadn't forbade it, I would have gone to the Shrek Academy long ago. Why would I still be here?"
Xu Zhengyang laughed and said, "Excuse me, but the Shrek Academy you mentioned just lost to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy in the Soul Master Tournament. Shrek Academy isn't anything special, especially with a performance like yours. You might have been eliminated long ago at the Shrek Academy. Do you even know what Shrek Academy is?"
Xu Tianzhen didn't back down at all. "You only won once by chance. Shrek Academy has been the champion for thousands of years. Besides, you won the championship by chance this time because Shrek Academy's regular team members were injured. You'll show your true colors in the next Soul Master Tournament."
"Not to mention you, you're just a Soul Ancestor who only managed to snag a championship by teaming up with the Sun Moon Royal Academy team. What's so great about that?"
Xu Zhengyang was furious when he heard this. Xu Zhengyang had put in a lot of effort to win the Soul Master Tournament, not only planning various schemes but also revealing many of his trump cards. However, his achievements were now being negated by a little girl.
"Oh, since you're so eager to go to the Shrek Academy, do you actually know anything about it? Or is it just because you think Shrek Academy Shrek Academy has a good reputation that you're considering going?"
Xu Tianzhen raised her chin. " Shrek Academy's motto is 'Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.' I don't want to be mediocre, so I think this kind of academy is more suitable for me, not to mention Shrek Academy's glorious history and great achievements."
Xu Zhengyang shook his head. "I originally thought you had some talent, but now it seems you're just a mediocre person who can't distinguish right from wrong and only looks at appearances."
Xu Tianzhen's face flushed with anger. "How dare you! You actually dare to mock me, you—"
Judging from Xu Tianzhen's expression, she was indeed a bit furious. Although this little girl was mischievous, she was extremely arrogant and conceited; otherwise, she wouldn't have cultivated so quickly.
Xu Zhengyang continued, "The so-called 'not daring to cause trouble' is a sign of mediocrity. In reality, they are nothing more than a group of bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. If Shrek Academy weren't powerful enough, if Shrek Academy didn't intimidate all forces, do you think ordinary students would dare to cause trouble everywhere? The cruelty of the Soul Master World far exceeds your imagination. Causing trouble recklessly will only bring about your death."
"Like you, I'm afraid you think that only mediocre people dare not cause trouble, so you act recklessly and cause trouble everywhere. Do you think that if it weren't for your powerful background, others wouldn't dare to attack you?"
"Any force, if faced with a powerful opponent, especially one with top-tier geniuses, will preemptively eliminate those geniuses. This is the darkest and bloodiest side of the Soul Master World."
"Take Shrek Academy, for example. They are indeed glorious enough, and they have enough genius disciples. They can all be said to be leading figures of their generation. But at the same time, Shrek Academy has the highest student mortality rate among all advanced Soul Master Academy, especially their so-called inner academy, where the mortality rate exceeds 50%. Do you think Soul Master are just playing house?"
At this moment, Xu Zhengyang's words were filled with murderous intent, which made everyone present feel terrified. Even Xu Tianzhen seemed to be frightened at this moment.
But Xu Zhengyang did not back down. Instead, he looked at Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen beside him.
" Xiao Hongchen, you've also fought against the Shrek Academy, so give your objective assessment of the Shrek Academy students."
Xiao Hongchen, who had been pretending to be dead, now looked extremely helpless. Clearly, given his situation, he knew Xu Tianzhen's identity, which was why he had allowed Xu Tianzhen to act recklessly in class these past few days.
But now that Xu Zhengyang had called out his name, Xiao Hongchen thought for a moment before speaking.
" Shrek Academy is a formidable opponent. If it weren't for your planning, our team wouldn't have won so easily this time. At the very least, we would have paid a terrible price to win."
"In terms of individual abilities, all members of the Shrek Team possess exceptional combat skills, outstanding physical attributes, and excellent mastery of their Martial Soul. It can be said that among Soul Master and even Soul Engineer of the same level, they can remain invincible by relying on their physical attributes and flexible use of their Martial Soul."
"Especially since each of them is extremely tenacious, as if they have gone through countless life-and-death trials. This is not just a matter of talent, but a matter of adaptability in the face of danger. When faced with danger, they will not back down at all, and will even become stronger. Even Grand Soul Master dares to fight against Soul King."
Upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard. Those who could be here were basically geniuses, and the ones on whom the entire Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy placed its high hopes. Now it seemed that their training was far from enough compared to that of the students from the Shrek Academy.
Xu Zhengyang nodded. "That's what makes Shrek truly powerful. Their strength isn't in their Martial Soul or their talent, but in their combat ability and their body's most instinctive choices when facing life and death."
" Xu Tianzhen, your Soul Power is currently at level 46, which is indeed very good among all the team members. But how about your actual combat ability? How about your ability to deal with danger?"
"I bet I'm not the only one; everyone here is better at actual combat than you. Actual combat, especially life-or-death combat, is the foundation of Soul Master's strength. Although your Soul Power is decent, in my eyes, you're still not good enough."
Xu Tianzhen had been pampered by her family since childhood and had always been successful. No one dared to say a word against her, even if she was harsh. Unexpectedly, she was now being looked down upon and scolded by Xu Zhengyang. She was furious and her face turned pale. She even had difficulty breathing.
"You, you, you Xu Zhengyang, how dare you! Do you know who I am? Believe me or not, I'll have you killed!"
Xu Zhengyang stared intently at Xu Tianzhen: "I know you have powerful backing and a prestigious position, but this is a team, the foundation of our Sun Moon Empire's future, and the main force for the Soul Master Tournament five years from now. I will not allow anyone to stray from the team, nor will I allow anyone to insult the efforts of us."
Xu Tianzhen shouted, "Since you are so arrogant, I challenge you now. If I defeat you, then let me become the captain of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy."

Everyone else looked at Xu Tianzhen with strange eyes upon hearing this. This little girl was probably too arrogant for her abilities. In terms of combat skills, Xu Zhengyang was already the top student in the entire Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. Even Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen combined were no match for Xu Zhengyang. How could a little girl like her have the strength to challenge Xu Zhengyang?
