In Douluo, there is a way to die.

Chapter 133 I am the captain of the Royal Fighting Team!

After Qin Ming's application to become the leader of the Royal Fighting Team was approved, Meng Shenji and the other two instructed him to prioritize Yin Lan's decisions in all matters related to team management.

Qin Ming also understood that the reason they agreed to let a young man like him coach the Royal Fighting Team was to add a brilliant record to his resume. Not everyone has this opportunity. In essence, this was an opportunity that the three instructors fought for for him, and it was an honor that he got for free.

In the past, the champions of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament were mostly won by the Spirit Hall Academy. There was only one championship that was given to the Star Luo Empire, but that was because the reward was not so generous. The Heaven Dou Empire has never won the championship.

Born into the "Monster Academy"—Shrek Academy, and who has considered himself a "monster surpassing genius" since childhood, how could Qin Ming swallow this insult? The team he leads must be the best team!
When he was young, Shrek Academy lacked a valid operating license, preventing him from participating in this once-every-five-years grand event and causing him to miss out on a stage to showcase himself. Now that his team has the opportunity to participate, how could he accept merely going through the motions?!

Therefore, even though Meng Shenji and the other two had given Qin Ming prior instructions, Qin Ming still secretly made up his mind to stick to his principles. No matter which faction or noble family a team member came from, if they wanted to become a member of the Royal Fighting Team, they had to pass his test and gain his approval before he would allow them to join.

Upon first seeing the members of the Royal Fighting Team, his eyes lit up. These students were indeed elites of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. Not only did they all possess advanced martial souls, but they were also all high-level Soul Masters.

Unfortunately, their training was a bit too frivolous. Qin Ming secretly observed that these students all used those strange training equipment, training in groups of several, with short rest periods between each group, and repeating the cycle.

In Qin Ming's view, such training was ridiculous. It was too slow and couldn't push the limits of the human body, making it difficult to improve.

He sighed in dismay. These students were very talented. If they were students at Shrek Academy, Dean Flander and the other teachers would surely be very happy and would definitely be able to maximize their talents, instead of wasting them because of this kind of lax training.

After that day, he had all the useless equipment put away. There was a little incident during this process. Oslo had a lot of opinions about his unauthorized decision, but he suppressed them forcefully. As a student, all you need to do is listen to the teacher's instructions.

Then he took out his meticulously crafted training plan—Shrek Academy's traditional education: running! No soul power allowed, no stopping allowed, you had to be completely exhausted!
It has been almost a month since he officially started managing the Royal Fighting Team, and he has not seen the other three members, namely Yin Lan, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. They are disrespectful to their elders and lawless, which has led Qin Ming to have already sentenced the three of them to death in his heart.

After learning that the useless training equipment was brought by Yin Lan, he looked down on her even more. All she had was a better background and a mother who was a Title Douluo. All she produced were pretty but useless decorations. Is this all that she has after becoming a Title Douluo?

Under the tutelage of Shrek Academy, he successfully reached the Soul Venerable level at the age of fourteen and the Soul Master level at the age of twenty. Now, at the age of thirty-four, he has reached level fifty-nine and is about to break through to the Soul Emperor level, becoming the second youngest Soul Emperor in the history of the continent, second only to the record of Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo!

This was under the circumstances that Shrek Academy lacked a simulated training ground and faced harsh conditions. Now, with such a superior environment and abundant resources at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he was certain that under his tutelage, the Royal Fighting Team would only become more outstanding!

He is a "monster who surpasses geniuses", and he will definitely have a place among the titled Douluo in the future. In other words, he is not that much different from those titled Douluo. It seems that the other party is not so great. He doesn't know as much about cultivation as he does. This is a valuable experience he learned from Shrek Academy, which "specializes in recruiting monsters"!

It can only be said that Shrek Academy's brainwashing is quite effective, making Qin Ming attribute all his achievements to Flander and others, completely unaware that with his talent, if he had gone to a normal school, he would not only have not missed that grand stage for young people that he regrets, but his future achievements would definitely have been even greater.

Whether it was Qin Ming's generation or Tang San's generation, the students' achievements were all earned through their own efforts. Shrek Academy did not invest any resources in their training, yet they gained the greatest reputation and became a giant for the next 30,000 years. No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit inexplicable.

Yinlan's arrival on this day emboldened the already restless Oslo to openly defy his orders. This also caused several other members of the Royal Fighting Team to secretly harbor their own ambitions, making them seem somewhat out of control. This greatly displeased Qin Ming.

It seems I need to be more forceful in my methods to make an example of others and let these students understand who the leader of this Royal Fighting Team is!
"What? Is there a problem with what I said?" After thinking it over again, Qin Ming decided on a strategy, coldly staring at Yin Lan, "Don't think too highly of yourself. Which member of the Royal Fighting Team isn't stronger than you?"

"Yu Tianheng, 21 years old, level 38, possesses the world's number one offensive beast spirit, 'Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex,' and is known as the number one person below the Soul Sect!" He first pointed to Yu Tianheng.

"Brother Shi, your martial soul is the 'Black Tortoise,' which is among the top-tier defensive beast martial souls!" He then looked at the Shi brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo.

"Finally, there are 'Ghost Leopard' Osro and 'Wind Chime Bird' Yufeng, both with exceptionally outstanding agility-type martial souls. They will definitely break through to the Soul Master level when that grand event begins!" His eyes flashed. "Most importantly, in my opinion, they are both more hardworking than you!"

"I knew beforehand that you are the daughter of a Blue Silver Douluo, so your spirit should be a high-quality mutated Blue Silver Grass, right?" Qin Ming sneered. "Tell me, what can useless Blue Silver Grass do? You're only twelve years old, and you're already so ambitious, thinking about vying for a voice in the team. Don't overestimate yourself. You're not irreplaceable in this team! Without your mother, you're nothing!"

"Not just you, but you too!" Qin Ming pointed at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, "You're all arrogant and conceited, and you'll only drag everyone down in my team!" The more Yin Lan heard his words, the more familiar they sounded. Suddenly, she realized that this was the same kind of PUA tactics Shrek Academy used on Ning Rongrong. First, they would criticize Ning Rongrong as nothing, and then praise the others to guide them to form a small group, making them ostracize Ning Rongrong without her even realizing it.

Why is Shrek Academy teaching you this stuff?

Ning Rongrong, a twelve-year-old girl, couldn't stand being treated like this by her peers, so she was naturally easily fooled. But this approach wouldn't work on Yin Lan. To put it bluntly, it was the same trick her boss used to make empty promises in her previous life.

"Is that really what you think?" Yin Lan smiled and stopped Yin Luo, who was about to lash out, and looked at the members of the Royal Fighting Team.

“Who would listen to his nonsense?” Oslo rolled his eyes, but out of goodwill, he still reminded Qin Ming, “Teacher Qin Ming, I suggest you be careful with your words and apologize before Sister Lan gets angry.”

He came from the Spirit Hall and had seen the world. He had even personally witnessed the competition for the Holy Maiden six years ago. The shock that Yin Lan gave to the younger generation of the Spirit Hall was unimaginable to outsiders. Even the three most competitive people in the Spirit Hall were no match for Yin Lan when they came together. They couldn't even break through Yin Lan's defense. How could he, who ran away from the Spirit Hall Academy to escape the infighting, compare with Yin Lan?
Furthermore, he was very clear about one thing: no matter how much the Soul Master world praised Qin Ming's talent, only the strongest in the world, such as Title Douluo, had the real say. Qin Ming had the potential to be a Title Douluo, but he was not a true Title Douluo. The difference between the two was huge. And geniuses are not immortal.

“Yes, yes, Teacher Qin Ming, stop talking nonsense here,” Yu Feng nodded repeatedly. “Sister Lan is not here all year round because she is giving special training to Lingling and Sister Yanzi. We are already satisfied to be able to benefit from this.”

The two brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, didn't say anything. They weren't good with words to begin with, but they answered silently with their actions. They walked over to Yin Lan and began to help move the training equipment that was piled up together.

“Yinlan, Teacher Qin Ming is, after all, the leader of our Royal Fighting Team,” Yu Tianheng stopped, glanced at Qin Ming, and hesitated before looking at Yinlan, “Isn’t what we’re doing a bit inappropriate?”

"Stop pretending to be a rational person and showing off your respect for your teacher," Dugu Yan glanced at him with a mocking expression and said sarcastically, "'The number one person below the Soul Sect'? Ha."

Contrary to the original history of their close relationship, Dugu Yan, as the granddaughter of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, was naturally very perceptive. She figured out why Yu Tianheng didn't study at his own family's Thunder Academy but instead went to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Wasn't it because he wanted to use her to win over Dugu Bo to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
Yu Tianheng's little schemes were quite obvious, and Dugu Yan herself was also prone to overthinking. Without Yin Lan's help, the poison of the Dugu family's inheritance was incurable. Even if Dugu Bo joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in the future to seek a way out, would her child with Yu Tianheng bear the surname Yu or Dugu? Moreover, Dugu Bo would probably be nearing the end of his life by then. If Dugu Bo passed away, Dugu Yan would lose her maternal family's backing. If this child was also infected with the Dugu family's inheritance poison, how would the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan treat her?

Now, Yinlan not only helped the grandfather and grandson get rid of the poison of the Dugu family's inheritance, but also helped them evolve their martial souls. This has led Yu Tianheng to be even more attentive to her. Obviously, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan wants to know the secret of the grandfather and grandson's martial souls transforming into dragons and seeks an opportunity to evolve the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul.

That's a pretty nice idea!

"Stop running," Yinlan said, instructing the Shi brothers to start moving training equipment. "If you keep running, you'll be ruined. Squeezing out potential? Squeezing out my ass! If you keep running, you won't squeeze out your potential. The high-intensity extreme training will only overdraw your talent. And that doesn't even take into account the possible residual injuries. The team's training plan will still follow my previous decision. If there are any problems, get out."

"My training methods are absolutely flawless. I've grown to where I am today using this method. What kind of decent special training plan could you possibly have at such a young age?" Seeing his PUA plan fail, Qin Ming frowned. Fortunately, Yu Tianheng, being a reasonable person, was there to help him suppress his anger and speak properly. "Your attempts to gain the upper hand for your own selfish reasons will only jeopardize everyone's future. How will you participate in competitions in the future? You won't be able to explain this to the education committee. You'll regret it!"

“So I see you have a lot of hidden injuries and ailments. I guess you often have a burning sensation in your knee joints, and you sometimes feel weak in your daily life, right?” Yin Lan had already noticed his physical problems and casually replied, “Qin Ming, I am the captain of the Royal Fighting Team!”

"Fine, fine, I kindly advised you to turn back from your misguided path, but you still insist on doing things your own way, disrespecting your elders and lacking manners. Is this how the Blue Silver Douluo teaches his children?" As if Yin Lan had hit a nerve, Qin Ming finally lost his temper. He possessed the mutated fire-attribute "Blazing Wolf" martial soul and had a fiery temper. He immediately rebuked, "Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of the Blue Silver Douluo, so you'll understand how to speak to your elders!"

He took a step forward, and five spirit rings—two yellow and three purple—rose one after another behind him. The pressure of a spirit king level poured out, causing the students, who were only spirit venerables, to turn pale and subconsciously take a few steps back.

He was very satisfied with the students' reaction; this was the highest praise for the "monster"!
Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, seemed quite calm. They had seen this kind of scene many times and were used to it. They had even seen Title Douluo. What was there to be afraid of in a Soul King whose Soul Rings were not even the best match?

Ye Lingling frowned, while Dugu Yan snorted coldly. Two yellow, one purple, and two black soul rings rose from behind each of them, not only pushing back the pressure released by Qin Ming, but also suppressing him and forcing Qin Ming's martial soul out. A pair of red wolf ears appeared on Qin Ming's head, drooping as if they had been frightened.

"How many mothers do you have? How dare you talk to me like that?" Yin Lan started by criticizing the other party's family, finally finding an outlet for the words she couldn't get out of Tang Hao and Tang San.
