Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Emperor, Unifying the Continent!

Practical training!

Five-person team!

Everyone introduced themselves, but I doubt many of them actually listened.

Since the purpose was to engage in actual combat, even if it was just a friendly sparring match between classmates, everyone was still driven by a desire to win.

They are all geniuses recommended from Soul Master Academies in major cities. It's fine when there's no competition, but once it involves winning or losing, it becomes very important!

To win in actual combat, one option is to find someone you know well so you can work well together.

Another thing is to find a strong person!

The latter is even more important than the former.

Faced with overwhelming strength, even the most flawless teamwork is meaningless.

The only freshman with overwhelming strength is Xu Tianming!

Therefore, after the teacher announced the rules of the actual combat spirit, most of the freshmen turned their attention to Xu Tianming.

Whoever teams up with Xu Tianming is basically guaranteed to win!

"Xu Tianming is not included!"

Seeing the students about to pounce on Xu Tianming, Zi Ling immediately intervened.

Among these freshmen, Xu Tianming was a cheater, practically a cheater.

"But teacher, if Xu Tianming doesn't participate, then one group will inevitably be one person short!"

Some students raised questions.

Zi Ling raised an eyebrow and said, "That's easy. Here's what we'll do: besides Xu Tianming, I'll pick nine more students with higher cultivation levels to form a temporary ten-person team."

She pointed at Xu Tianming and continued, "This team is led by Xu Tianming, and their opponent in the battle... is me, their teacher!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately taken aback.

Even Xu Tianming was surprised.

"Teacher, your cultivation level is Soul Emperor!"

Xu Tianming was well aware of his own abilities.

Among Soul Masters of the same level, almost no one can be his match.

He can fight even a Soul Master! He can even defeat one!

But when it comes to the Soul King level, things get a bit complicated. After all, a Soul King is likely to have a ten-thousand-year Soul Skill. Even if he has a deep foundation, he is still more than twenty levels lower in Soul Power and has a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, so there is no hope of winning the fight.

Not to mention the Soul Emperor!

Even if Zi Ling said that ten people were fighting her, the difference is still huge!

If one's cultivation level is this low, then the number of people becomes meaningless.

A Soul Emperor fighting a Soul Venerable or a Great Soul Master is just like taking down a kid one by one!

Zi Ling waved her hand and said, "Oh, it's alright! Teacher will suppress your soul power cultivation to the Soul... Soul Master level!"

Originally, Zi Ling wanted to suppress her at the Soul Venerable level, since she was far superior to these newcomers in terms of both combat skills and experience.

In this situation, she used her Soul Master cultivation to fight against these Soul Masters who were generally at the second ring level. Even if she was fighting ten against one, she didn't feel much pressure.

But there was an unexpected twist.

Xu Tianming is a Soul Master!

Moreover... his combat power is extraordinary! This guy can take on twelve people at once!

If you suppress your cultivation at the Soul Venerable level, even at level 39 Soul Venerable, there might still be a risk of failure!

On the first day of practical training, the homeroom teacher was defeated by the students...

Upon imagining that scene, Zi Ling suddenly had a flash of inspiration and changed what she was going to say, "Soul Venerable," to "Soul Sect Master"!

No! Absolutely not!

If she were to be defeated by her students on her very first day as a teacher, she would be too ashamed to show her face at Shrek Academy!

Soul Sect, yes, Soul Sect!

That's safe!

After all, the lower limit for Soul Masters is level 41, and the upper limit is level 49 or even level 50!

In this cultivation level, there's no chance she'll be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

Soon, Zi Ling selected nine more freshmen based on their self-introductions.

This included Bei Bei, whose cultivation level was 29, and the Bright Light Battle Hammer Soul Master who had just been subdued by Xu Tianming. This new student was named Li Yuan, whose cultivation level was 27, and he was among the top students in the class.

She was originally very talented, but unfortunately she ran into Xu Tianming right from the start.

Cultivation level and attributes are completely suppressed!

There's absolutely no way around it.

But now, they've become teammates.

"Come on, you guys draw lots first!"

Fifteen minutes later, Zi Ling took out a lottery bucket and asked the captains of the other eighteen five-person teams to come over and draw lots for the Soul Battle.

Eighteen teams may seem like a lot, but in reality, there are only nine matches.

And these battles between temporarily formed teams don't last long.

Sure enough, the problem was exposed in the very first battle.

Because the team was formed hastily, problems arose in the coordination between the team members.

Control-type Soul Masters charged faster than Offense-type Soul Masters, while Defense-type Soul Masters were busy guarding one thing and another.

The first battle ended in less than three minutes.

The most fatal problem for the losing team was their chaotic teamwork, while their opponents, being familiar with each other and having a more balanced composition of Soul Masters, made the battle seem like it was on a completely different level.

Even after losing, the five members of the team were still blaming each other.

Seeing this situation, Zi Ling promptly mediated and pointed out their problems one by one.

It's okay to lose, but you need to understand why you lost!

With the demonstration of the first Soul Battle, the subsequent Soul Battles went relatively smoothly, at least without any chaotic situations, but each Soul Battle lasted no more than ten minutes.

Zi Ling was not surprised at all by this.

They were all twelve-year-old kids, and most of them were spoiled. How much practical experience could they possibly have?

It's okay if you lack experience; you can learn gradually.

The nine five-person battles lasted for nearly two hours. The freshmen watched very attentively, and Zi Ling gave them suggestions based on their performance after each battle.

Finally, everyone's attention fell on Xu Tianming and the others.

Compared to their own fighting spirit, they were clearly more interested in the students challenging their teachers' fighting spirit, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

The first lesson of the new school year: students versus teachers—how exciting!

Soon, Zi Ling marked out an area on the playground.

A large circle, fifty meters in diameter, with its edges shimmering with purple light.

The freshmen gathered around the circle, their eyes filled with anticipation as they watched Xu Tianming and his nine companions, along with their teacher Ziling, stand inside.

"I've suppressed my cultivation to the Soul Master level; you can go all out!"

Zi Ling waved her hand, and the purple whip in her hand crackled through the air, sounding somewhat frightening.

Without wasting words, Xu Tianming flicked his wrist, and the Aurora Sword appeared in his hand, its aura of ultimate light quickly enveloping his group.

The Aurora Sword represents the Emperor's Armor, and as the Emperor's teammate...

"May the light prevail, and may the Emperor bestow blessings!"
