Douluo Continent: If the system had arrived ten thousand years earlier, I would have crushed Tang Sa

Chapter 170 Whispers, A Sense of Respect

Meanwhile, Shrek Academy finally received a reply from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

On the playground, Flander immediately gathered everyone the next day: "Little monsters, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy has replied to us. We'll be heading there for practice matches in a week. You all need to prepare well this week!"

Tang San frowned and said, "Dean Flander, so you're saying Xiao Tian and the others are back?"

Flander glanced at him and said, "That's right, Tang San, as one of the team's main players, you need to work on improving your strength these days, otherwise we might not be able to win in a week."

Tailong, Huang Yuan, and the others in the group looked at each other with some helplessness. Their new dean really had lofty ambitions.

Beat the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Are you kidding me!

They had all heard that Xiao Tian and his group had directly defeated Yu Tianheng's Royal Fighting Team back then. Now, Xiao Tian was definitely even stronger. What could they possibly use to fight him? Their heads?

Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng exchanged a glance. Whether they won or lost the competition didn't matter, but they both had someone they wanted to teach a lesson to.

Tang San knew that Flander was targeting him, but he hadn't really fallen behind in his training lately.

The powerful clan explained the production of the hidden weapons, and he spent the rest of his time cultivating.

Today, Ning Rongrong sent someone back to the sect to tell her father that they had returned and asked them to come over.

Afterwards, he went with Xiao Tian and the others to a private training room for the team.

At this time, Graphite, Stone Mill, Yu Feng, Ye Lingling, and Oslo had been waiting here for a long time.

Shi Mo said excitedly, "The vice-captain is finally back, and so is the captain. It's been four months, and our team hasn't had a proper chance to gel yet."

Graphite: "Yeah, yeah, and in a week we'll be playing a practice match against Shrek Academy, and against our former captain. Just thinking about it makes me feel a bit complicated."

Yu Feng curled his lip and said, "What's so complicated? Yu Tianheng betrayed us first. The academy captaincy is supposed to be filled by the most capable person. It's reasonable for the three teaching committees to transfer the captaincy to Xiao Tian. It's just that he feels a little embarrassed."

Oslo said helplessly, "It's probably because he not only lost his captaincy, but was also demoted to a team member instead of vice-captain, so he's a bit resentful."

Yu Feng said, "Forget it. Without the vice-captain's antidote, it's questionable whether we can survive against her. Can Yu Tianheng help others by forming a protective gust of wind like Xiao Tian? Besides, he's not even as strong as Xiao Wu. How can he be the vice-captain?"

"But according to you, shouldn't Xiao Wu be the vice-captain?" Osro retorted, equally unconvinced.

Ye Lingling, standing to the side, said calmly, "Alright, Xiao Tian and Yan Yan will be here soon. Stop gossiping. The captain and vice-captain are not only required to be strong, but also to be in control of the entire situation. Right now, only Xiao Tian and Yan Yan meet both requirements. The rest of us are more suited to following orders."

Ye Lingling's calm analysis also made them stop discussing.

At that moment, the door to the training room was pushed open.

Xiao Tian led the others in.

Ye Lingling and the others immediately surrounded her: "Vice Captain (Yan Yan), you're finally back."

Then, they greeted Xiao Tian with serious expressions, "Hello, Captain!"

Dugu Yan frowned and said, "Did you ask people in the wrong order?"

Xiao Tian waved his hand and said, "There aren't that many rules. After all, they're more familiar with you, so it's normal for them to call you first."

Xiao Tian then said to Yu Feng and the others, "I apologize to everyone. I am the captain, but I have been missing for more than four months. However, we have not been idle during this time. Instead, we have been training outside with Senior Dugu Bo."

As soon as he finished speaking, five more spirit rings appeared on Xiao Tian's body. Moreover, unlike the ones they had seen last time, Xiao Tian's fourth spirit ring had turned black!

The Soul King's aura swept towards them, making them feel immense pressure.

"That's enough, Captain. We can't take it anymore if you keep going like this."

Facing the oppressive aura emanating from these spirit rings at such close range, Yu Feng and the others urged Xiao Tian to quickly put them away, while at the same time, a sense of awe and respect for Xiao Tian arose in their hearts.

"Captain, you're amazing! You've only been away for a few months and you're already a Soul King. It seems like we'll definitely be second place in this Soul Master Competition, if not the champion."

Dugu Yan smiled and also showed her five spirit rings: "Can't you have some ambition? Xiao Tian is not the newly entered spirit king you think he is, but a high-level spirit king. He is already level 57! As for me, I am almost level 51."

boom!

The graphite and stone mill workers felt as if something had exploded in their heads. What did the vice-captain say?

They understand each word individually, but why can't they understand the meaning when they're put together?

Afterwards, they all learned about Xiao Wu and the others' current soul power, and a sense of urgency immediately arose in their hearts.

Dugu Yan then spoke up: "There are still eight months until the Soul Master Competition. I need to tell you that the few with the lowest soul power will be substitutes. Right now, there are only five of us as official members, so there are two spots left."

You're training so hard for yourselves. I've heard that the Zhilin Education Committee is considering making you substitutes or demoting you to the second team to fill vacancies. Which do you want?

Yu Feng and the others shook their heads in unison and said, "Of course we'll be starters and substitutes. We're not going to the second team."

With the team being so strong now, even as a substitute, one can still gain considerable benefits.

Not to mention the rewards from the Soul Master Competition, they at most received some money and storage items like Soul Tools, while the Empire was much more generous.

According to past rewards, as long as you reach a certain ranking, you can get a title, even the lowest baron, which is very good for them!

After all, their elders were nobles, but they didn't have any noble titles themselves; those were just symbols of status.

"I thought you guys wanted to go to the second team. Then work hard during this time. Xiao Tian and I will talk to the Education Commission in Zhilin."

Dugu Yan smiled and glanced at them before speaking.

Xiao Tian watched quietly. Dugu Yan really understood the personalities of this group of people. Apart from Ye Lingling, who didn't react much to what Dugu Yan said earlier, everyone else seemed a little anxious.
