The Nine-Member Imperial Fighting Team, No Permanent Mainstays

Three days later.

The Imperial Fighting Team set off to return to Heaven Dou City.

The carriage was much quieter than when it arrived.

Dong Jian cannot undergo shock training.

He could only practice his Soul Power circulation while sitting in the carriage.

Black and white Soul Power flowed from the shoulders into the waist.

Then it flows to the left and right legs respectively.

Do not release.

Just feel the route.

Li Man then focused her perception on a simple bamboo twig in her hand.

Ye Lingling only allowed her to perceive two nodes at the same time.

One in the palm of my hand.

One was in the corner of the carriage.

Whenever the false array eye of the Soto Soul Fighting Arena appears in my consciousness.

She then deliberately severed her Soul Power.

Reconfirm your actual location.

Osler sat opposite him.

I watched the two of them for a long time.

Suddenly he said:

"You look like you've lost."

Dong Jian opened his eyes.

"You can get hurt even if you win."

I wasn't talking about injuries.

Osler said:

"After the meeting ended."

"You've been looking for problems."

"A normal person beat Shrek."

"They'll be happy for at least a few days."

Li Man asked:

"Are you unhappy?"

"Happy."

Osler's answer was very direct.

"But I didn't play."

A brief silence fell over the carriage.

He didn't mention this during the debriefing.

But now she's finally said it.

"My part is part of the tactics."

"My part is recorded."

"But the one truly standing on the Soul Fighting Stage isn't me."

Osler leaned against the car wall.

"The audience won't remember what the substitutes analyzed."

"I can only remember seven names."

Dong Jian did not comfort him with the words "all teams are the same".

Because they are different.

Contribute intelligence during training.

And truly stand on the Soul Fighting stage to face the outcome.

They were never the same feeling to begin with.

"So we'll have a match when we get back to the academy."

Dong Jian said.

Osler raised an eyebrow.

"Two against two?"

"Wait until the injury heals."

"You choose your teammates."

"I choose too."

What are we betting on?

Who lost?

Dong Jian said:

"Who will be the first to admit they're not a good fit in the next roster competition?"

Osler sat up straight.

"Do you think you're guaranteed to win?"

I don't think so.

"Then you still dare?"

You want to prove you deserve to play.

Dong Jian answered.

"I also want to prove why that battle needed me."

Osler stared at him for a few moments.

He suddenly laughed.

"Good."

"Don't let Li Man be paired with you again."

Li Man said:

"I haven't agreed yet."

"Look."

Osler pointed at Dong Jian.

"They haven't even chosen their teammates yet."

On the other side of the carriage.

The Shi Mo and the Shi Mo were also conversing in hushed tones.

"Next time, if the opponent has two high-level Power Attack System..."

Shi Mo said:

"We should all go together."

The Shi Mo nodded.

"But the Suotuo City."

"It would be more suitable for me to be the only one."

Shi Mo looked at his elder brother.

"You really think so?"

"Dong Jian can move."

"I'll handle the front."

"Both Black Tortoise attack together."

"It would make the rear seats too heavily protected."

The Shi Mo said:

But that may not be the case in the future.

Shi Mo is silent.

He was not jealous of his brother's participation in the battle.

What really bothered him was...

After Dong Jian entered the Imperial Fighting Team...

The most stable system originally was the double Black Tortoise system.

This is the first time the possibility of it being disassembled has arisen.

past.

Shi Mo and Shi Mo almost always appear together.

Now.

They must prove that they have value even when they exist alone.

On the day of their return to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Qin Ming did not give everyone a rest.

However, no high-intensity training was arranged immediately.

He hung nine name tags on the wall of the tactics room.

There is no main force.

There are no substitutes.

Classified only by the type of Martial Soul.

storm:

Yu Tianheng.

Mobile front row:

Dong Jian.

control:

Dugu Yan.

Li Man.

Agility Attack:

Yu Feng.

Osler.

defense:

Shi Mo.

Shi Mo.

treat:

Ye Lingling.

"Starting today."

Qin Ming said:

The training lineup is redrawn daily.

No one can work with the same teammate for three consecutive days.

Yu Feng asked:

What should we do about Ye Lingling?

She also takes turns.

Qin Ming answered.

"Some training doesn't involve treatment."

"Some training sessions only allow her to protect one side."

"You must learn to manage your injuries when there's no Nine Heart Begonia to protect you."

Ye Lingling had no objections.

The first day of the draw.

Red Team:

Yu Tianheng.

Li Man.

Osler.

Shi Mo.

Ye Lingling.

Blue Team:

Dugu Yan.

Yu Feng.

Shi Mo.

Dong Jian.

The fifth person was personally filled by Qin Ming.

He doesn't go on the field to attack.

They are only responsible for creating changes in the location.

Dong Jian is still unable to use Short Tremor.

Li Man could only maintain two key points of the formation.

It appears to be.

Both of their roles were significantly limited.

After seeing the lineup, Osler...

He said directly to Li Man:

Don't mistake me for Yu Feng.

"Parasitic Bamboo Formation Eye on me."

"It won't last much longer than in the air."

"I know."

Li Man said.

That's why I won't put it on you.

"Where should we put it?"

Where did your shadow pass by?

Where should I put it?

Osler frowned.

"The shadow can't be the key to the formation."

"After you ran past."

Li Man said:

The other party will subconsciously avoid your direct route.

"I just need to set up my formation where they avoid."

Osler did not fully understand.

But he didn't ask any further questions.

On the other side.

Dugu Yan looked at Dong Jian.

"Don't shake the ground."

What else can you do?

"Blocking people."

Dong Jian answered.

"Relieve the force."

"Change direction."

Dugu Yan gave a soft hum.

"Then don't let Yu Tianheng break in."

Training begins.

Yu Tianheng launched a frontal attack.

They did not reduce their strength because of Dong Jian's injury.

The Thunder Dragon Claw descended from the right.

Dong Jian did not use Sinking Body Stance to block.

My shoulders feel lighter.

Rotate your waist.

The Circular Force Redirection and adheres to the edge of the dragon claw.

The lightning still passed through Bear Astral Energy Body Protection.

It makes my arm numb.

However, Yu Tianheng's attack was redirected towards the Shi Mo.

The Shi Mo, resembling a tortoise shell, faces forward.

Catch it head-on.

This was the first time the two had played together without any physical contact or vibration.

This creates a pure force relief and defense transition.

The Yu Feng suddenly rushed in from above.

The target is Li Man.

Osler has already gone around to the other side.

He failed to protect Li Man.

Instead, it charged straight at Dugu Yan.

The blue team was forced to divert their attention.

Just when Yu Feng thought he could get close...

Li Man's only first array eye rose where Osler had passed.

It wasn't about intercepting Osler.

Instead, he used his high-speed afterimage to conceal the bamboo and vines.

Yu Feng observed the changes in the ground from above.

Instinctively, it adjusts to the side.

The second key to the formation appeared right there.

The Green Bamboo Rebound.

They failed to entangle Yu Feng.

This only forced him to change his angle of ascent.

Li Man took the opportunity to retreat.

Osler has already passed through the first layer of poisonous fog of Dugu Yan.

The Ghost Leopard Assassination, heading straight for the rear.

Dugu Yan had no choice but to shrink the poisoned area.

This time.

Osler was not seen by Li Man as a teammate who needed protection.

Instead, it becomes bait to force the other party to control and change.

The training lasted for 15 minutes.

final.

Yu Tianheng broke through the Shi Mo head-on.

The red team wins.

Dong Jian is unable to use the oscillation function.

The Blue Team is missing its most crucial ground disruption.

But Osler's performance made everyone see him in a new light.

His threat to those in the back row.

This would force Dugu Yan to change the entire toxic zone.

During the debriefing.

Qin Ming asked:

Why did the Red Team win?

Yu Tianheng said:

"Frontal breakthrough."

"Incomplete."

Qin Ming looked at Osler.

Osler thought for a moment.

"I had Dugu Yan take the poison back."

"That's why Li Man was able to leave the only two array points to Yu Feng."

"Yu Tianheng is now less affected by the poisonous fog."

Qin Ming nodded.

"Osler didn't take anyone down."

"But this reduced the Blue Team's control area."

"This is the value of Agility Attack System."

The next day.

Dong Jian and Osler were assigned to the same team.

Li Man was on the opposite side.

For the first time, Shi Mo and Shi Mo were on opposing sides.

The training objective is not to knock out the opponent.

Instead, they were vying for the three central tokens.

Osler is the fastest.

Dong Jian, however, could not use Short Tremor to help him create a landing point.

The two players can only rely on pure movement and coordination.

first.

Osler charged in alone.

Li Man Instant Formation Eye forced the Shi Mo tortoise shell towards the center of the formation.

I didn't get the token.

I almost got trapped.

The second time.

Dong Jian first entered the central government.

He deliberately used Bear Astral Energy Body Protection from the impact of the Shi Mo.

The Circular Force Redirection and changes the direction of the tortoise shell.

Osler brushed past Dong Jian's shoulder.

Use his body to cover yourself.

Take the first token.

The third time.

Li Man had hidden the key point of the formation near Dong Jian's feet beforehand.

She knew his footwork all too well.

Knowing that he most often turns left after releasing his force.

Dong Jian just moved.

Bamboo and rattan then rose from the ground.

Osler received no rescue.

Instead, they continued their breakthrough from the right side.

Dong Jian was trapped and barely breathing.

Osler, however, took the second token.

final.

Both players won.

After training.

Osler said:

"When you were trapped."

I didn't save you.

"Correct."

Dong Jian answered.

"The token is more important than saving me."

"What if it's a real team fight?"

"Look at the target."

Dong Jian said.

"If I were Ye Lingling."

You must go back.

"If I were in the front row."

"We can give up even a moment's breath."

Osler nodded.

You are definitely more suited to be with me than the Shi Brothers.

Shi Mo stood not far away.

Upon hearing this...

Not angry.

He simply walked up to Dong Jian.

"Next game."

"I'm with the Shi Mo."

"You and Osler."

"Let's see if you can get over the two turtles."

"Can."

Competition for space has not disappeared.

Instead, it became more direct.

But this competition is no longer about arguing who should always be on stage.

Rather, it's about proving yourself to be more valuable in which kind of battle.

One week later.

Dong Jian has finally been allowed to resume Short Tremor training.

Li Man can also maintain four array points simultaneously.

Qin Ming fulfilled his promise regarding the events after Suotuo City.

Nine-player mixed team battle.

All brand names were randomly selected.

There is no fixed team leader.

There is no fixed control core.

Even Ye Lingling was positioned in the center of the battlefield.

The two sides must take turns vying for her right to receive treatment.

The training ended.

Almost everyone was dissatisfied with the result.

Yu Tianheng believed the instructions were confusing.

Dugu Yan believed that Li Man's takeover was too slow.

Yu Feng said that Osler had stolen his aerial navigation route.

The Shi Brothers argued for the first time because of their different defensive strategies.

Dong Jian, on the other hand, was trying to accommodate everyone at the same time.

They missed the opportunity for Short Tremor twice in a row.

Qin Ming listened to all the arguments.

I only asked one question:

Do you still think a fixed seven-player team can defeat all opponents?

No one answered.

The victory in Suotuo City.

No one was truly secured a position.

Instead, it made everything clear to everyone.

The strongest point in Imperial Fighting Team.

It has never been seven fixed names.

Rather, all nine players can influence the tactics.

After training.

Qin Ming put away the name tag.

"Normal training will resume tomorrow."

"We will begin checking the toxin levels of Dugu Yan the day after tomorrow."

Dugu Yan frowned.

What's wrong with my poison?

Ye Lingling looked at her.

These past few days.

Dugu Yan used high-concentration toxic fog continuously.

The numbness in my wrist is lasting longer and longer.

I even experienced a sharp pain in my chest last night.

She initially thought it was just a remnant of the Soul Fighting from Suotuo City.

Ye Lingling had already recorded seven anomalies.

"This is not ordinary consumption."

Ye Lingling said.

"The poison is accumulating inside your body."

The ease on Dugu Yan's face gradually disappeared.

"It's happened before."

This time is different.

Ye Lingling answered.

"Previously, it was a brief backlash after circulating Soul Power."

"Even without releasing my Martial Soul now."

"The toxins haven't completely subsided."

Li Man looked at Dugu Yan's arm.

The Green Jade Bamboo gently touched the ground.

The Bamboo Heart Sensing moves closer to the ground.

She did not directly penetrate Dugu Yan's body.

All he could sense was the unstable leakage of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's Soul Power around him.

It got cold.

It gets hot.

Like two forces colliding with each other.

Dong Jian noticed it as well.

When the Dugu Yan stands.

There is no problem with the body's center of gravity.

However, the flow of Soul Power near the heart felt heavier than in the limbs.

It's like something is constantly accumulating.

Dugu Yan clenched her right hand.

The fingertips had begun to turn slightly blue.

The next moment.

A sudden, sharp pain erupted in my chest.

Her body swayed.

The turquoise poisonous fog spiraled out of control.

It gushed out from the shoulders, arms, and neck all at once.

"Back off!"

Li Man immediately deployed the core of the formation.

It's not about trapping Dugu Yan.

Instead, they cut off the evacuation routes of others.

Dong Jian took a step forward.

The Bear Astral Energy Body Protection covered his entire body.

Prepare to catch her before she falls.

Dugu Yan didn't even have the strength to stand firm.

Everything went black.

The body fell forward.

The toxic fog suddenly exploded in the center of the training field.
