Regardless, after the upgrade of their Fourth Soul Skill, the Shrek Academy members all experienced a significant increase in strength, and the rate of increase in their Soul Power varied depending on the length of time it took them to break through to level 40.
Dai Mubai, being the oldest, had the same Soul Power as Qi Ling, reaching level 45. Below him, Zhu Zhuqing had the highest Soul Power, reaching level 43.
This is not only due to the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring she obtained, but more importantly, her diligent cultivation of the " Nine Nether Sacred Heart Art " has already achieved some success, which is why she is able to surpass everyone else by so much.
As for the others, except for Xiao Wu, they all reached level 41 in Soul Power. Xiao Wu also possessed level 40 Soul Power, but she had not obtained her Fourth Soul Ring, so she could not break through, which was somewhat regrettable.
Regardless, their team is already incredibly strong, and more importantly, they are so young, which is their most valuable asset.
However, even so, they did not let their guard down, because they knew that they were not the only geniuses in the world. At least Qi Ling once said that he had seen many geniuses who were even more monstrous than the Shrek students.
In order to avoid casualties among the Shrek Seven Devils during the battle and to be able to deal with more situations, five more people joined their team as substitutes. They are Tai Long, Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, Jiang Zhu, and Molin, Mo Lin Liu Erlong's beloved disciple.
As for Mo Lin, this little guy, as Liu Erlong's personal disciple, this time it was naturally planned to broaden her horizons. Although her Soul Power was only level 32, the lowest among them, she was also the youngest, and her future achievements were limitless.
Furthermore, Qi Ling had observed her Martial Soul, the Black Jade Brocade-Furred Rat, which was undoubtedly a Mutated Martial Soul. However, like the Grandmaster's Sanpao, it was not fully mutated. How to resolve this issue would depend on her own destiny.
As for the few of them being Shrek's substitutes, they didn't feel any dissatisfaction. After all, they had seen everyone's talent, and being able to be a substitute for such outstanding people would be something they could be proud of for the rest of their lives.
The Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is not just a competition between the Soul Master Academy, but a major event for the entire Soul Master World. It lasts for three months from the preliminary rounds to the finals, making it the most important event in the Soul Master World.
After the team members were finalized, the Grandmaster called everyone together and explained the competition rules to them.
A total of 32 teams will participate in this competition. The two empires and the Spirit Hall each have one seeded team that can directly participate in the finals, while the remaining spots will be decided among the 15 teams from each of the two empires.
The competition format was quite complex. After the Grandmaster explained it to everyone, they finally understood how to proceed. In short, in order to qualify, they first had to participate in the preliminary rounds of the Heaven Dou City division.
As for the preliminary rounds, how everyone should compete will naturally be determined by the Grandmaster. Qi Ling's concern is the situation of the Imperial Fighting Team.
"Everyone, we will be participating in the Heaven Dou City preliminary rounds. Get ready." In the activity room of the Heaven Dou Academy, Qi Ling uttered these shocking words.
"What? Qi Ling, are you kidding me? Aren't we the number one seed from the Heaven Dou Kingdom? Shouldn't we be able to go straight to the finals? Why do we have to start from the preliminaries?" Yu Feng was the first to get restless and said to Qi Ling.
Qi Ling sat calmly in her seat and smiled, "From now on, you are no longer the number one seed of the Heaven Dou Kingdom. I have already discussed it with Meng Shenji, and we have given the number one seed position to the second team. Now they are the Imperial Fighting Team."
"Why? Qi Ling, what's the benefit of doing this?" Yu Feng asked, puzzled.
"The reason is simple. Your goal from beginning to end has always been the same: to win the championship!" Qi Ling said. "If you can't even qualify, how can you talk about winning the championship?"
"More importantly, what's crucial for you is practical experience and team cohesion, and this qualifier presents an excellent opportunity, which is why I'm asking you to participate."
"This..." Yu Feng was speechless. What Qi Ling said seemed to make some sense. After all, their team had only been established for half a year, and everything was still very unfamiliar. Without a lot of practice, it would be impossible to work together.
" Yu Feng, you don't need to be so nervous. If we can't qualify with our strength, then I really don't know what kind of monsters are participating in the competition." Dugu Yan laughed at this moment, "It's good for you to move around more, so you don't stay still like a lazy bird every day."
Tuoliya, standing to the side, surprisingly agreed with Dugu Yan: "Indeed, winning without fighting is not a glorious choice. Winning through one's own strength is naturally more gratifying."
It's no wonder that Dugu Yan and Tuoliya are so confident, because if we only look at their strength on paper, Qi Ling's team is enough to stand out from the crowd in Heaven Dou City.
The two with the highest Soul Power in the team are naturally Dugu Yan and Tuoliya. They seem to have been secretly competing with each other, training hard and striving to improve their soul power. Now, their Soul Power has reached level 46.
As for the others, Ye Lingling, Support System Soul Master, has reached level 41, Yu Feng, Agility Attack System Soul Master, is level 42. It can be said that the strength of these four alone is enough to crush most of the teams in Heaven Dou City.
"But, Teacher Qi Ling, will we... hold them back?" Hua Yimeng asked nervously. The reason she asked this was because her and Hua Yidie's Soul Power was only at level thirty-nine.
It wasn't that the two sisters weren't working hard enough; on the contrary, reaching level 39 in just six months proved their talent and effort, because six months ago, their Soul Power was only around level 20.
Like them, Luna also has such concerns. As the team's key figure Qi Ling, her Soul Power is currently the lowest in the team, at only level thirty-seven.
Despite already displaying formidable strength, Luna feared disappointing Qi Ling, so she continued to cultivate with all her might.
But Qi Ling laughed helplessly after hearing their words, saying, "You two are weak? I'm afraid that when you show off your Soul Ring, everyone in the audience will faint from fright."
That's right, although the Hua sisters only have three Soul Ring, their Soul Ring combination is yellow, purple, and black in that order!
He obtained Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring on his Third Soul Ring, the same Over-Tier Soul Ring combination as Qi Ling!
