Two Returned, and the Imperial Fighting Team's Positions Had Already Changed

Heaven Dou Royal Academy

Imperial Fighting Team's dedicated training ground.

As Yu Feng descended from the sky, he could see Qin Ming walking up the stone steps in the distance.

There were only two people behind Qin Ming.

Dong Jian.

Li Man.

There is no Dugu Yan.

Ye Lingling was not there either.

"I'm back!"

The sound of Yu Feng echoed across the training ground.

The Shi Mo and Shi Mo that were colliding stopped simultaneously.

Osler emerged from the shadows of the trees.

Yu Tianheng also withdrew his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul and looked towards the entrance.

They have been waiting for more than ten days.

Initially, all that was known was that Dugu Yan suffered a backlash from the poison and was taken away by Dugu Bo for treatment.

Later, Qin Ming, Dong Jian, and Li Man also stayed in Sunset Forest.

The college received only one brief message:

Everyone is safe.

Don't look for it.

Continue training.

There is no further explanation.

Yu Feng was the first to greet him.

Where are the Yanzi?

"He's still with His Majesty Dugu Bo."

Qin Ming answered.

"The toxins in her body need further treatment."

Yu Tianheng frowned.

"Ye Lingling hasn't come back either?"

She stayed behind to observe Dugu Yan's physical condition.

When are you coming back?

"Wait until the first phase of treatment is completed."

Qin Ming did not provide a specific date.

The poison in Dugu Yan's body had penetrated deep into her bones and internal organs.

Even if ice and fire environments can separate different toxins, it is impossible to complete the process in one go.

Ye Lingling stayed.

It wasn't to cure Dugu Yan's poison.

The Nine Heart Begonia cannot eliminate the poison from the Martial Soul Origin.

Her real responsibility was to observe whether the meridians and internal organs suffered irreversible damage during the poisoning process.

Yu Tianheng did not press the matter further.

Their gazes shifted from Qin Ming to Dong Jian and Li Man.

The first thing to notice the change was not the Soul Power Level.

It's the aura.

Dong Jian stood there.

His height did not increase significantly.

The shoulders didn't become more exaggerated either.

However, the person's center of gravity seems to exist in two completely different states at the same time.

Stand steadily.

When breathing, there was no longer the stiffness that used to weigh down the body.

It's like every time you inhale.

The power all sank into the body.

Each exhale.

Another force naturally flows outward.

Li Man's changes became more subtle.

She did not release her Martial Soul.

The training bamboo trees around her swayed slightly as she passed by.

It wasn't caused by the wind.

Rather, it was the plant's instinct that sensed a higher level of similar scent.

Osler circled around the two of them.

"What exactly did you go about?"

Dong Jian replied:

"To treat Dugu Yan's poison."

"Did dealing with poison turn you into this?"

Yu Feng asked.

"There are still some opportunities."

Qin Ming took over the conversation.

"I can't disclose the exact location."

"And you are not allowed to ask any further questions."

Shi Mo asked:

"Where is your Soul Power?"

Dong Jian made no attempt to hide it.

Level 36.

The training ground suddenly fell silent.

Before leaving the college.

He's still at level thirty-one.

In just over ten days.

Upgraded to level 5.

All eyes turned to Li Man.

Level 36.

She gave the same answer.

Yu Feng couldn't help but gasp.

"You two will both level up five levels together?"

Osler said directly:

"This is no longer just a matter of chance, is it?"

"The increased Soul Power needs a long time to stabilize."

Qin Ming said.

"And what they really gained was not just rank."

"Release your Martial Soul."

Dong Jian took a step forward.

Black and white light rose from behind.

The Panda Martial Soul has appeared.

Its appearance still retains round ears, broad shoulders, and heavy limbs.

The black and white patterns on the body surface are no longer just ordinary color blocks.

Curved lines extend from the limbs.

Eventually, a slowly rotating yin-yang pattern forms on the chest.

The black parts are deep and dark.

The white part is flowing.

Three Soul Ring, two yellow and one purple, rose up.

The Soul Ring remained unchanged.

The oppressive feeling emanating from the Martial Soul is completely different from that of the past.

The Shi Mo instinctively unleashed its Black Tortoise Martial Soul.

It wasn't because I felt hostility.

Rather, it was the Defense System Soul Master whose body spontaneously prepared to withstand the attack when facing Dong Jian.

"The Martial Soul Evolution?"

Yu Tianheng asked.

"Yin-Yang Iron-Eating Beast."

Dong Jian said.

"It was originally Panda Martial Soul, but it wasn't fully awakened."

Yu Feng looked down at his feet.

"Will it become heavier or lighter?"

"Meeting."

Dong Jian raised his right hand.

Black Soul Power concentrated in his palm.

No Soul Skill was activated.

He pressed his hand forward onto the force-measuring stone at the edge of the training field.

The movements were very gentle.

The stone surface emitted a low sound.

The crack did not burst outwards.

Instead, they are concentrated below the palm.

Then.

White Soul Power flowed from his shoulders into his arms.

Dong Jian's hand left.

The body slid backward half a step due to the reaction force.

There was no obvious force applied when pushing off the ground.

"It can be partially converted."

Yu Tianheng noticed the difference.

In the past, when Dong Jian's overall weight increased, his mobility was definitely affected.

When the overall weight is reduced, the load-bearing capacity on the front also decreases.

Now.

The part of the body that is being attacked can become heavier.

The legs responsible for movement remain light and agile.

Both states can exist simultaneously.

Li Man then released her Martial Soul.

Green Jade Dragon Bamboo grows from the palm of your hand.

The bamboo stalk resembles translucent green jade.

The golden dragon pattern is hidden inside.

As the Soul Power circulated, each segment lit up.

The root system did not expand haphazardly in all directions.

Only nine extremely faint nodes formed at her feet.

The Third Soul Ring lit up.

A Parasitic Bamboo Formation Eye fell onto a nearby stone pillar.

The second one was attached to a fallen bamboo leaf.

The third one landed on Dong Jian's shoulder.

All three array points exist simultaneously.

It did not break immediately.

Yu Feng's expression finally turned serious.

"Wasn't it usually a maximum of two?"

"The static state can be maintained for three times."

Li Man retrieved the third array core.

"High-speed movement is still limited to two."

"What about the distance?"

"An increase compared to before, under normal circumstances."

The exact upper limit still needs to be tested.

Osler looked at Qin Ming.

"So after they came back."

Should the starting positions be rearranged?

Qin Ming did not answer immediately.

He walked to the center of the training field.

Nine nameplates representing the members of the Imperial Fighting Team were hung on the wall.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's name tags are still kept.

There's no one here right now.

There is never a permanent main force.

Qin Ming said.

"You've already learned this once since Suotuo City."

"Dong Jian and Li Man have become stronger."

"This doesn't mean everyone else automatically has to step back."

"They also need to prove that new talent can be integrated into the team's system."

Yu Tianheng looked at Dong Jian.

"You can try it now."

"Cannot."

Qin Ming refused outright.

"Their Martial Soul have just completed their transformation."

"The habit of continuous combat has not yet been established."

"And you also have new tasks."

The Shi Mo asked:

What mission?

Qin Ming took out several blank records.

"The next three days."

"Conduct a full physical and Martial Soul test."

"It's not a ranking."

"It's not about selecting the main players."

"Record everyone's real problems."

Osler frowned.

"Our problem?"

"Right."

Qin Ming said:

"His Majesty Dugu Bo has agreed to provide a batch of precious medicines."

The training ground fell silent once more.

Yu Feng was the first to react.

"It can also help us advance five levels?"

"Have no idea."

Li Man said.

"You also cannot choose based on the level upgrade."

"The medications are different."

"Different levels of compatibility."

Some may primarily focus on strengthening the body.

"Some meridians are stable."

There is no guarantee of advancing to level five.

Osler asked:

Where is the medicine?

"I can't say."

Dong Jian answered.

Who will make the selection?

"Let's assess your condition first."

Li Man said.

"Take the record back with you."

"Confirmed by Senior Dugu Bo."

Yu Tianheng's brows furrowed slightly.

In other words...

What shall we eat?

"It's up to the two of you to decide?"

Dong Jian did not avoid his gaze.

"It's not our decision."

"Your bodies and Martial Soul will tell us."

Yu Tianheng took a step forward.

The aura of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon had not yet been completely dispelled.

He wasn't jealous.

It's not that I can't accept my teammates getting opportunities.

But he is the captain of the Imperial Fighting Team.

You can't entrust everyone's decisions to the two youngest teammates without understanding the risks.

Do you know anything about medicine?

"I don't understand enough."

Dong Jian answered.

"So there's also Senior Dugu Bo."

Do you understand each person's body?

"No one understands, not Ye Lingling."

Dong Jian continued.

Therefore, this time we will only record the combat and Soul Power circulation issues.

"We cannot assess Ye Lingling's condition from the training ground."

Li Man continued the conversation.

She remained by Dugu Yan's side.

"Her medication choice will be confirmed with her in person after we return."

Yu Tianheng remained silent for a moment.

What if I think you made the wrong choice?

"Then I won't take it."

Li Man said.

No one will force them.

"But you can't choose a herb that enhances lightning just because you want Thunderclap to be stronger."

"Why?"

Because that's your real problem now.

Dong Jian looked at his right arm.

"It's not necessarily that the Thunderclap aren't strong enough."

Yu Tianheng followed his gaze.

There were no wounds on the right arm.

The damage to his meridians caused by the Soul Fighting of Suotuo City has long since healed.

At least on the surface.

"Test tomorrow."

Qin Ming ended the argument.

Today we'll only focus on basic adaptation.

"Dong Jian and Li Man will not participate in high-intensity matches."

Yu Feng was somewhat disappointed.

"Not even a try?"

You can try.

Qin Ming said.

"But not the Soul Fighting."

He picked up three pebbles from the ground.

No prior notice was given.

The first one bounced directly at Dong Jian's left shoulder.

Dong Jian did not activate the Force Observation.

The black Soul Power on his shoulder sank.

When the stone hits.

The force did not cause the body to move backward.

Instead, it circulates along the chest into the waist.

A flash of white Soul Power appeared on his right foot.

The residual impact is released from the soles of the feet.

The second one flew behind Li Man.

A Parasitic Bamboo Formation Eye suddenly appeared where the stones had passed.

The bamboo shadow flicked gently.

The gravel changed direction.

It fell into her palm.

The third pebble didn't fly towards anyone.

Instead, it bounced towards the ground between the two.

Dong Jian and Li Man acted simultaneously.

Dong Jian prepared to step down with his right foot.

Li Man's first strike point has already landed at the point of impact.

The two of them stopped at the same time in the next instant.

Dong Jian did not trigger Short Tremor.

Li Man also voluntarily withdrew from the formation.

The stone landed on the ground.

It bounced twice.

It stopped between the two of them.

Yu Feng remained puzzled.

Why did it stop?

"Determine if there is a conflict."

Dong Jian said.

"I'm going to shake the pebble to the left."

"I'm going to use the rebound missile to send it to the right."

Li Man said.

"Activating them simultaneously will cancel each other out."

The Martial Soul becomes stronger.

This does not mean that the cooperation will automatically improve.

The old habits were based on the old state of the Green Jade Bamboo and the Panda Martial Soul.

Both Martial Soul have now changed.

Many collaborations that previously required no communication.

It needs to be broken in again.

Qin Ming looked at the others.

"Did you see that?"

"They didn't become omnipotent after they came back."

"Next."

"Everyone must rediscover their place in the Imperial Fighting Team."

That evening.

Dong Jian and Li Man did not participate in the group training.

He simply sat on the sidelines and observed.

Yu Tianheng continued his Thunderclap offensive.

Yu Feng, it continuously changed direction in the air.

Osler burst forth from the shadows.

The Shi Brothers took turns bearing the brunt of the impact.

There is no treatment available with Ye Lingling.

Everyone must control the extent of their injuries.

Li Man recorded each instance of abnormal Soul Power on a bamboo slip.

Dong Jian occasionally activated his "Fleeting Force Observation.

It's not about who's the strongest.

Instead, it's about seeing where each person's power begins to spiral out of control.

The training ended.

Qin Ming placed the two new nameplates in the center of the wall.

Not a key player.

He's not the captain either.

It simply represents two new tactical cores.

Yin-Yang Iron-Eating Beast.

Green Jade Dragon Bamboo.

From the moment they returned to the academy.

The original power ranking in the Imperial Fighting Team.

It can no longer be used.
