Upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, everyone showed surprised expressions and looked at Qi Ling, saying, " Boss Qi? He's Boss Qi?"
"Yes, that's right, Brother Qi, stop pretending and show your true form!" Xiao Wu said.
Seeing that there was no other way, Qi Ling realized that continuing the disguise was pointless, even though she didn't know how Xiao Wu had discovered it. So she removed the disguise from her Divine Head and Ghost Face.
After the mask was removed, Qi Ling returned to normal. Everyone watched in astonishment as Qi Ling, who was clearly Tang San, slowly transformed back into her own appearance.
"Hey, stop just watching, untie me already!" Qi Ling said helplessly.
After being released, Qi Ling put away her mask. Ma Hongjun exclaimed in surprise, " Boss Qi, what is this? It's amazing! We didn't recognize it at all!"
"It's just a trinket, nothing to mention," Qi Ling said casually. "But, Xiao Wu, how did you recognize me?"
Xiao Wu smiled smugly and said, "I guessed!"
"Uh, a guess?" Qi Ling said helplessly. In fact, he believed more that Xiao Wu recognized him based on her intuition. This was something that was completely inexplicable and could not be explained.
Just like identical twins, some people can recognize them at a glance, but when asked to pinpoint the difference, they can't quite put their finger on it. This kind of thing can probably only be explained by fate.
In short, after the false alarm, everyone was amazed by the magical effect of the Divine Head and Ghost Face, especially Ning Rongrong. She had seen many Grandmaster of disguise, but she had never seen one so flawless.
" Qi Ling, do you have any more of this? If you do, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to pay any price to get it!" Ning Rongrong said.
Qi Ling has never seen two identical divine artifacts before. These powerful artifacts are mostly unique and cannot be replicated.
So Qi Ling could only say, "I'm sorry, Rongrong, I only have one of these, so I can't sell it to you. But if you just want to play with it, that's fine too."
"Well, never mind then. Since there's only one of these, Qi Ling, you should keep it," Ning Rongrong said regretfully.
In the days that followed, the Shrek Seven Devils continued to attend classes and cultivate at the same time. After Qi Ling made up her mind to take on the role of the new leader of the Imperial Fighting Team, she told Meng Shenji about her decision.
"Oh? Teacher Qi Ling, you've really decided?" Meng Shenji said with delight, "Haha, that's great! In this way, the Imperial Fighting Team can finally be reborn!"
"I also have some good news to tell you. We have obtained His Majesty's permission. His Majesty has specifically promised that if the Imperial Fighting Team can enter the top four, then a position on the Education Committee will be reserved for you, Teacher Qi Ling!"
"And if Teacher Qi Ling can lead the Imperial Fighting Team to win first place in this competition, His Majesty the Emperor will not only personally bestow upon you unparalleled honor, but will also grant you a special reward!"
A special reward? Qi Ling couldn't help but ponder. Since her goal was now to win first place, and she was determined to win, it didn't seem like it would make much difference to get some benefits from the emperor as well, right?
"Then I thank Chief Strategist Meng Shenji very much. Regarding the reorganization of the Imperial Fighting Team, I want to start this work as soon as possible. So I would also like to ask if there are any special rules for the selection of team members? In other words, are there any people who are required to join the team?" Qi Ling asked.
The reason for asking this question was that Qi Ling knew that most of these students came from powerful and influential families, and perhaps some of them wanted to join the competition to enhance their own prestige.
Meng Shenji shook his head after hearing this and said, "No, Teacher Qi Ling, don't worry. We will carry out this team reorganization entirely according to your wishes, and we won't let you have any concerns!"
"We also know that the students at the Heaven Dou Academy are a mixed bag, so if they act recklessly, it's impossible for them to win the championship. Therefore, Teacher Qi Ling, please just tell us who you want to join the team."
Qi Ling smiled and said, "Chief Meng Shenji, you flatter me. I just wanted to hear if you had any good recommendations for this candidate."
Meng Shenji pondered for a moment and said, "As for the selection of team members, we naturally need to consider the team's combination and matching! Therefore, I think the original three members of the Imperial Fighting Team, Dugu Yan, Yu Feng, Ye Lingling, are all excellent choices! In addition, I would like to recommend someone else to you."
"Oh? To receive a recommendation from Chief Meng Shenji, it must be something special. May I ask who it is?" Qi Ling asked.
"Hehe, I'm sure you already know her, Teacher Qi Ling. She's Tuoliya from Heaven Dou Class Two!" Meng Shenji laughed. "From any perspective, I think she's a great candidate."
Qi Ling nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. Tuoliya was originally one of the team members I was planning to recruit. It would be even better if she joined."
"Besides that, there are several other students with good abilities, such as Wang Qiang from the Power Attack System, Zhou Tong and Bai Kenni from the Agility Attack System, Zhao Shandian and Feng Jun from the Support System, and Qian Zhongshun from the Control System..." Meng Shenji recommended many candidates to Qi Ling in one breath. They were all Soul Elder with very good abilities and were very likely to be promoted to Soul Ancestor within the next six months.
Judging from the fact that Meng Shenji recommend so many people to him, he could indeed be said to know each student's information quite well, and at the same time, he had no personal bias and recommended them to Qi Ling entirely based on his understanding of the students' abilities.
However, upon hearing these names, Qi Ling shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Chief Meng Shenji, these people might be able to play as substitutes for the team, but I have other choices for the starting lineup."
"Oh? Teacher Qi Ling, you've already made a decision? Who did you choose?" Meng Shenji asked in surprise. He had already mentioned almost all the outstanding students; there shouldn't be any omissions, right?
"It's like this, Chief Meng Shenji, on the day I competed with Teacher Huang, there were twin sisters who served as my cheerleaders. I wonder if you remember them?" Qi Ling asked.
"Oh! You mean them? Of course I remember them; they are indeed the best cheerleaders in the school," Meng Shenji said. "But Teacher Qi, what's your intention in bringing them up? Could it be that...?"
"That's right, Chief Meng Shenji, the team members I want to recruit are these two!" Qi Ling said with a smile.
"Them? But, Teacher Qi Ling, they... they're only level 20 Soul Grandmaster! And their Martial Soul have innate defects, this..." Meng Shenji hesitated, "I know I shouldn't be prejudiced against any student, but they really are..."
"Of course I know, Chief Meng Shenji. Don't worry, my greatest skill is turning the rotten into the miraculous!" Qi Ling laughed.
