Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 169 The "Genius" of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy

"Teacher, when will our training begin?"

Mika, one of the starting players, was starting to get a little impatient.

The group of regular team members had been waiting here for almost ten minutes. But the new instructor said they had to wait a little longer for the three pre-selection team members to train together.

As one of the reserve team members from the previous competition, Mika knew exactly what a reserve team member was. To put it nicely, they were reserve team members; to put it bluntly, they were just coasting along.

Whether reserve players participate in training or competition has virtually no impact on the outcome of the competition.

Given their average skill level of three to four rings, they would have little influence over the final match.

We still have to rely on these starting players to give it their all.

Therefore, he didn't want to waste this precious training time. The Soul Master Competition would begin soon. He was determined to win a place. Even if he only got second place like last time, it would still be enough for him to bring honor to his family and find a good job at Mingde Hall.

Ma Rulong and the other five team members remained silent, clearly agreeing with Mika's words.

Jing Hongchen's office.

A silvery-white spatial wormhole appeared, and two figures, a man and a woman, emerged from it.

"Brother Yang, you've finally arrived! I bet they've been waiting for ages."

Inside the office, Xiao Hongchen, Ji Juechen, and Di Ni'er sat in three different positions.

Three pairs of eyes turned to the two people standing side by side, holding hands.

"Don't rush, Xiao. Important people always make their grand entrance last. Look, I've taken over the dream, haven't I? —"

"Xu Yang, Xu Yang."

"After training, are we going to head out for the Soul Master Tournament?"

Di Ni'er seems to have a greater passion for participating in the Soul Master Competition than Xiao Hongchen.

Ever since he informed Di Ni'er about this, Di Ni'er has been harassing him with a soul guide communication almost every day.

If there is no signal, this girl will even go to the space passage to test the waters between the Star Dou Great Forest and Mingdu.

As for why she didn't seek out the original body, it wasn't that Di Ni'er didn't want to, but ever since she stumbled upon some rather "intimate" interactions between Gu Yuena and Xu Yang, Di Ni'er had learned her lesson.

Xu Yang shook off Di Ni'er, who was almost face to face with him.

Then he said to the other two, "We'll be leaving in a bit. I've already told Sister Lexuan, she's waiting for us."

As for why Ji Juechen was brought along, Ji Juechen, having digested the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, has now become a high-level Soul Emperor.

Her combat strength is roughly equivalent to Zhang Lexuan's when she participated in the Soul Master Competition.

These were opponents that Xu Yang specifically found for Di Ni'er and the other two. Xu Yang had also specifically researched the strength of the other regular team members beforehand.

Nothing particularly outstanding, just average.

It was impossible to put any pressure on Di Ni'er.

If you ask why Xu Yang didn't take the initiative, there's only one reason: he's a lazy bum.

Ji Juechen was also happy to agree. This battle maniac agreed without hesitation as soon as he heard there was a fight to be had.

He wanted to test his strength after his breakthrough.

Ji Juechen looked at Xu Yang with a light in his eyes. He was eager to know how much Xu Yang had improved since their last sparring session.

"let's go."

Xu Yang rebuilt the spatial wormhole.

This location is outside the training grounds of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Because it has been requisitioned, almost no students come here.

Di Ni'er was the first to step forward and took the initiative to push open the door to the training ground.

Hearing the commotion, the people inside looked towards the doorway.

The seven regular team members and Di Ni'er made eye contact.

Faced with seven pairs of questioning gazes, Di Ni'er took the initiative to greet them out of politeness.

"Um—hello everyone!"

As Di Ni'er pushed the door open completely, Xu Yang and his group came into view of Ma Rulong and the others.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan's voice rang out.

"The reserve team is in position; training shall now officially begin!"

"These are the people we've been waiting for?"

The two brothers, Chen Fei and Chen An, whispered to each other.

"I recognize those two white-haired girls; they're supposedly the Hongchen siblings. Xiao Hongchen is fine, but Meng Hongchen—she hasn't been studying at our academy for five years, has she?"

"Besides, isn't that Ji Juechen?"

"Isn't he too old? Why is he here?"

"And that blonde girl from earlier, she was so beautiful, how come I don't remember her at all? That shouldn't be happening—"

"Is she really from our college?"

Before the two brothers could finish their whispered conversation, Old Ma, who was standing nearby, kicked them both, sending them flying.

It doesn't have much force; it's just a special way of reminding you.

If they, with their Soul King level cultivation, could get injured from such a minor bump, then they might as well not participate in the Soul Master Competition.

The two brothers made their debut in this special way.

After exchanging names, Zhang Lexuan divided them into two groups.

"No hesitation, just real combat! Sister Lexuan, is this a characteristic of Shrek Academy?"

Xu Yang walked to Zhang Lexuan's side and leaned against her limply.

For some reason, when interacting with several women, Xu Yang only liked to do this when he was with Zhang Lexuan.

Perhaps it was because of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill that Xu Yang unconsciously wanted to make some physical contact with Zhang Lexuan every time he saw her, and he became even bolder after the last time.

Or perhaps it was because Zhang Lexuan's body was really soft, and he liked that feeling.

The players on stage didn't dare to ask any questions when they saw this.

"That boy, who looked about their age, dared to flirt with the teacher, and what's worse, the teacher, who seemed so aloof, didn't resist at all."

"I didn't expect there to be an expert here!"

"This world has become so insane that I don't recognize it anymore."

Lin Xi, a level 5 defensive soul master, was internally ranting when he saw this scene.

Old Ma, who witnessed all of this, could only silently lament the decline of morality in the world.

Even though people in Douluo Continent mature early, it seems that it's not very common for teachers and students to fall in love.

There were ten people on stage, who were divided into two groups by Zhang Lexuan.

One group was led by Di Ni'er and Ma Rulong, while the other group was led by the Hongchen siblings.

The remaining few people are all of relatively average strength and will not have a significant impact on the battle.

The battle between the two sides was simple, consisting of the most standard fighting techniques of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Masters. However, an outlier had infiltrated the fray: Di Ni'er charged recklessly, like a hungry wolf invading a flock of sheep.

One punch, one kid —

At the same time, with her extreme fire attribute, she caused all the Soul Masters present to suffer greatly.

Many soul tools were destroyed on the spot.

This caused great distress to the side where the Hongchen siblings were located.

Even Xiao Hongchen looked grim.
