Kong Xuan is not even thirteen years old yet. A twelve-year-old Soul King is unprecedented in Ren Jun's knowledge.
Kong Xuan's combat talent and cultivation speed are both top-notch. His previous displays of strength have already reshaped Ren Jun's understanding of him, but his breakthrough to Soul King still surprised Ren Jun.
Kong Xuan calmly replied, "Just a while ago."
Upon hearing this, Ren Jun suddenly realized that Kong Xuan's disappearance from the academy for more than half a month was to obtain Soul Ring.
In fact, Kong Xuan only broke through yesterday, and he wouldn't let too many people know the secret of his ability to condense his own Soul Ring.
Looking at Kong Xuan, Ren Jun's expression kept changing, seemingly reflecting his inner struggle.
Ren Jun's feelings for Shrek are now a mix of love, hate, or simply a sense of indifference; even he himself is unsure.
He suddenly felt a little afraid to see the Shrek members, fearing they would accuse him of being a traitor.
But there was also a certain anticipation to see his students defeat Shrek Academy, thus proving how ridiculous Shrek Academy's pride was.
Seeing the hesitation on his face, Kong Xuan said, "Teacher, most of the selected reserve team members are only Level 4 Soul Engineer. I think that even if our class's students are a little weaker in cultivation, they won't lose in a real fight."
Kong Xuan suddenly changed the subject, bringing Ren Jun back to his senses. He asked, "You want the students in your class to compete for spots on the reserve team?"
Kong Xuan replied, "That's right!"
Even if they become members of the reserve team, they probably won't have many opportunities to play this year, and it's even less likely they'll get a chance to play in the match against Shrek Academy.
Ren Jun is from Shrek and participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament more than a decade ago, so he naturally knows it very well.
Kong Xuan gave a strange smile, "That's not necessarily true, but it's good to broaden one's horizons."
He thought to himself, "Whether these reserve team members can even put up a fight against Shrek depends on the performance of a certain Grand Elder."
"Good!"
Ren Jun thought for a moment and said, "I'll go talk to the dean and try to get you a chance."
Ren Jun was quite confident in the abilities of the students in his class. Whether they were Soul Master or Soul Engineer, they could prove themselves by demonstrating their strength if they wanted a spot in the reserve team.
Ren Jun acted swiftly, gathering several students from the class the very next day.
Soul Fighting Zone, Soul Fighting Arena 76.
Xu Wei leaned close to Kong Xuan and whispered, " Brother Xuan, what did the teacher call us here for?"
Kong Xuan glanced at him. "Good news!"
Not receiving a definite answer, Xu Wei didn't ask any further questions.
Based on his understanding of Kong Xuan, he knew that even if he asked, Kong Xuan wouldn't tell him, but it was clear that Kong Xuan knew the inside story.
Xu Wei glanced around. Besides himself and Kong Xuan, Kong Ling, Xu Tianyi, Gu Yuena, Shui Ling, and Huo Yuhao were also present.
There are seven people in total; it looks like a standard seven-person Soul Master team.
For a moment, Xu Wei felt that a team battle might be coming up.
He wasn't the only clever one; everyone except Xu Wei had similar suspicions in their minds.
Not long after everyone arrived, the homeroom teacher Ren Jun, led the group into the Soul Fighting Arena.
These people were dressed in the uniforms of the Soul Tool Department, and they didn't look much older than us, but each of them wore a badge on their chest indicating their Soul Engineer rank.
These people are at least Level 4 Soul Engineer, which means they all have at least the cultivation level of Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.
The two leading figures were recognized by everyone; they were the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Xiao Meng Hongchen, who frequently visited Kong Xuan's Soul Master class.
Walking at the back of the group, they were greeted by a tall, elderly man.
He had a full beard and short white hair like steel needles, giving him a fierce look.
At that age, one would naturally be a teacher at the academy.
And everyone present recognized him: Ma Sheng, the vice dean of the Soul Tool Department, Titled Douluo and Level 9 Soul Engineer!
Meanwhile, this Elder Ma will also be the teacher leading the team to the Star Luo Empire next semester to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament.
When the two sides met, compared to the bewilderment in Xu Wei and his companions' eyes, these Soul Engineer seemed to be filled with fighting spirit.
When they looked at the group of Soul Master, their eyes were filled with hostility.
Clearly, they knew why they had come.
Ren Jun stepped forward at this moment and said in a deep voice, "The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament will be held next semester. This is the grandest and most important event on the entire continent, and all participants are genius Soul Master under the age of twenty from various academies!"
"Standing before you now are the reserve team members for this competition. None of them are over fifteen years old, including two Soul King and five Soul Ancestor."
Upon hearing Ren Jun's words, a look of pride appeared on the faces of the reserve team trainees.
Those who were selected were naturally geniuses who had distinguished themselves from all over the country.
Some of them even looked at Kong Xuan and the others with provocation, but unexpectedly, they didn't see any shock on the faces of these Soul Master students. It was as if Soul Ancestor who was not even fifteen years old was nothing special.
And that is indeed the case; Kong Xuan, who has already become Soul King, needs no further explanation.
Among the others, besides Huo Yuhao, Xu Wei, whose cultivation Xu Wei is the lowest, already has Soul Power of level 37, and he is only twelve years old.
Becoming Soul Ancestor before the age of fifteen is practically a certainty.
Therefore, things that one can easily do are naturally not surprising.
Ren Jun glanced at Kong Xuan and the others, and said, "I selected you from the class myself, and I think you are qualified to be reserve team members!"
"But whether you're qualified or not, it all comes down to your ability. Do you dare to play a match against the current reserve team?"
Judging solely from their cultivation levels, the reserve team led by Xiao Hongchen held an absolute advantage.
The two Soul King, in particular, put a lot of pressure on the Soul Master class.
However, with their class monitor Kong Xuan, who could challenge opponents of higher levels with ease, they didn't feel that he was invincible. On the contrary, they were somewhat eager to try.
"What is there to be afraid of!"
Xu Tianyi, who was usually taciturn, was the first to speak.
As a martial arts fanatic, he has always been open to any activity that tests one's strength.
It was precisely because of his single-minded pursuit of excellence that his strength improved rapidly over four years.
Not only has his Soul Power surpassed others, but he has now reached level thirty-nine.
He not only achieved his initial goal, but also accomplished the second milestone of the millennium.
Although the others didn't say anything, Ren Jun had already seen the answer in their eyes.
He turned to look at Ma Sheng, who was not far away, and asked, " Elder Ma, how about a seven-on-seven match?"
Ma Sheng's gaze swept over the two teams, and his gruff voice rang out. "Then let's have a team battle..."
But before he could finish speaking, a voice suddenly rang out. "I disagree!"
