Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

Because of Vice Dean Mu Lian's restriction on Jiang Peng, he could only choose three Soul Kings, and Jiang Peng has already made his selection.

The remaining five Soul Kings—Huo Wu, Ye Bilin, Long Aotian, Vina, and Jin Ni—automatically joined Wei Huang's team.

Jiang Peng then selected Ji Juechen, Ye Guyi, and Dugu Yuan from the four major Soul Sects, and Xiao Xiao also automatically joined Wei Huang's team.

After the two finished selecting their members, Jiang Peng's temporary team consisted of Shi Kun, Mu Xue, Hua Qinglian, Ji Juechen, Ye Guyi, Dugu Yuan, and others.

The temporary team led by Wei Huang includes Huo Wu, Ye Bilin, Long Aotian, Jin Ni, Vina, Xiao Xiao, and others.

Undoubtedly, this sparring match, led by Jiang Peng and Wei Huang, was mainly a contest of strength between the two sides, but it also tested their ability to select opponents.

In team battles, the same Soul Masters can produce vastly different combat power depending on their combinations.

Jiang Peng's temporary team consisted of one Soul Emperor, three Soul Kings, and three Soul Masters;

Vi Huang's temporary team consists of six Soul Kings and one Soul Venerable.

Although Jiang Peng's team had three fewer Soul Kings than Wei Huang's team, they had one more Soul Emperor. Taking advantage of choosing first, Jiang Peng selected Shi Kun, Mu Xue, and Hua Qinglian, whose overall Soul Power was slightly higher than that of Huo Wu, Ye Bilin, Long Aotian, Jin Ni, and Vina. Coupled with Jiang Peng's six-ring Soul Emperor status, on the surface, the two teams' combat strength should be roughly equal, and overall they were considered fairly evenly matched.

Seeing that the two teams had been temporarily formed, Vice Dean Mu Lian said, "You have ten minutes to familiarize yourselves with each other's martial spirit abilities and to arrange tactics. In ten minutes, the battle will officially begin."

"As for the losing side, they'll treat everyone to a big meal tonight."

The punishment is simple, but the purpose is clear: having a meal together will quickly increase the familiarity and camaraderie between the two teams.

The two sides, each with seven members, slowly spread out and lined up on either side of the training ground, facing each other in battle.

On Wei Huang's side, Wei Huang spoke first, saying, "The opponent has one more Soul Emperor than us, and Jiang Peng and Shi Kun cooperate very well, so we need to use enough combat power to hold them off. Long Aotian, Jin Ni, and I will be responsible for holding off Jiang Peng and Shi Kun. Huo Wu, you and Mu Xue have partnered the most and are the most familiar with each other. Although your soul power is one level lower than hers, holding her off for a short time should not be a problem."

"The remaining three Soul Masters on the opposing team—Ji Juechen, Ye Guyi, and Dugu Yuan—along with Hua Qinglian, a support-type Soul Master, will be handled by you two, Ye Bilin and Xiao Xiao. Ye Bilin, you are the Soul King, so you'll be in charge of the main attack, penetrating their backline. If you can eliminate those three Soul Masters and Hua Qinglian as soon as possible, and then come to support us, then we'll have the initiative in this battle. Nana, you'll be adaptable and responsible for providing team support."

After Wei Huang finished speaking, he looked at Long Aotian and asked, "Aotian, you're the reserve captain. Do you have any objections to my tactics?"

Long Aotian said, "Brother Wei, I have no objection to your overall tactical arrangements, but there are two points I would like to remind you of in advance."

"First, I possess a mental-type soul skill with decent support capabilities, called Mental Detection Sharing. You'll naturally discover its specific effects during the battle later."

"Secondly, I want to remind you, Brother Wei, don't overlook Nana. You may not know this, but Nana is no longer a support-type Soul Master with no combat power. Nana's combat power is enough to rank third in our reserve team. She can be regarded as a five-ring Battle Soul King."

Upon hearing Long Aotian's words, Wei Huang wasn't surprised by the first point. However, the second point, regarding Vina, shocked him. He exclaimed, "Aotian, are you kidding me? I know my sister's situation. How could a support-type Soul Master with a Snow Lotus Martial Soul have combat power? Could it be that your Body Sect added a Soul Ring to Nana's second Martial Soul, Brain?"

Vina usually spends her time with Long Aotian and others. Even on holidays, she rarely returns to the royal family, mostly going back to the Body Sect. Although Wei Huang knows that his sister has broken through to the Soul King level, he is not really clear about Vina's specific situation.

Vina said, "Brother, no, my second martial soul, Brain, hasn't been fitted with a soul ring yet. My combat power comes from external forces. You'll see when we fight. Today, I'll show you something amazing." With that, Vina proudly raised her little fist.

Seeing Long Aotian's confident expression and Vina's proud demeanor, Wei Huang couldn't help but believe them.

Wei Huang said, "Alright, since Nana, you also have considerable combat strength, then while ensuring the support for everyone, you can also adapt to the situation, seize the opportunity in battle, and work with Ye Bilin and Xiao Xiao to eliminate the opponent's Ji Juechen, Ye Guyi, Dugu Yuan, and Hua Qinglian as soon as possible."

"Does anyone else have any opinions?"

"No objections." Huo Wu, Ye Bilin, Long Aotian, Jin Ni, Vina, Xiao Xiao and the other six returned at the same time.

"Alright, then let's go with my tactics. Even if the other side has Jiang Peng, a Soul Emperor, we'll still defeat them and give them a good beating."

"Keep it up!" The seven people put their hands together and encouraged each other.

The Vihuang team set the battle rhythm, while the opposing Jiang Peng team was also ready, and the battle was about to begin.

Both teams were ready. Seeing this, Vice Dean Mu Lian said, "Teacher Jun, Teacher Mu, you two be careful and keep an eye on things."

Jun Moxiao and Mu Yu Chengfeng are both high-level Soul Saints, not far from becoming eight-ring Soul Douluos. For this battle, which is just a friendly spar, their strength is enough to control the situation. Hearing Vice Dean Mu Lian's words, the two also stood ready and stood on one side of the training ground.

"Both sides unleash their martial spirits; the battle begins!"

Vice Dean Mu Lian's command instantly ignited the atmosphere in the entire venue.

At this moment, the two sides were positioned on opposite sides of the training ground, far apart. After the command "Start" was given, both sides moved simultaneously.

Long Aotian immediately transmitted a message to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his mind, instructing it to control the Yin-Yang Eye Martial Soul and activate the shared mental detection assistance.

In an instant, the entire panorama of the training ground appeared in the minds of the seven members of their side, including every single movement and change of the seven opponents.

Wei Huang, Huo Wu, Ye Bilin, Jin Ni, Vina, Xiao Xiao, and the other six people were almost simultaneously shocked, their eyes revealing astonishment. Although they had just heard Long Aotian mention the shared mental detection skill, this was the first time that these people, including Jin Ni and Vina, had personally experienced the strange effects of this soul skill, so they were naturally overjoyed.
