Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 128 Preparations Before the Competition

After Han Feng emerged from the Yin-Yang Well, apart from Xiao Wu, Tang San was the only one among them who had not yet obtained his fourth spirit ring. This was because Tang San also planned to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring and needed the help of the Yin-Yang Well, so Tang San waited for Han Feng to emerge from the Yin-Yang Well.

This put the ten-thousand-year-old cave spider in a difficult position.

The cave spider was sleeping soundly in its burrow when it was attracted by the fragrance of the fragrant silk. As soon as it crawled out of the ground, it was punched hard and nearly killed!

That wasn't the end of it. Since Han Feng hadn't come out of the Fiery Eye yet, and Tang San wanted its spirit ring, everyone kept it hanging on by a thread while treating it. After it recovered a little, they beat it half to death with a barrage of punches. It was tortured like this for most of the day before finally being killed by Tang San!

However, given the examples of Dai Mubai and Han Feng, the crowd only offered slight resistance before letting Tang San go.

Tang San lived up to expectations and successfully absorbed the spirit ring of the Cave Demon Spider. He even used it to evolve his Eight Spider Lances once again!

After Tang San successfully absorbed the spirit ring, the trip to Sunset Forest came to a perfect end. After a full day and night, everyone returned to the academy and had no energy left to play around, so they all went to rest.

The following afternoon, Flanders finally summoned everyone to his office.

Everyone knew that Flander had called them over simply to give them a pep talk before the match.

To be honest, Flander went a bit overboard—after being influenced by Han Feng's words, Dai Mubai and the others were already aiming for the championship!

However, Flander's words still stirred up waves in everyone's hearts.

"What!? The champion of the tournament can actually obtain three ten-thousand-year soul bones!?" Oscar exclaimed in shock after hearing Flander's words.

Not only Oscar, but Xiao Wu and the others were also surprised, clearly not expecting the competition's rewards to be so generous!

The only ones who could be considered relatively calm were Dai Mubai, Han Feng, and Tang San.

Tang San was gentle and rarely showed any shock; Han Feng already knew about it; and Dai Mubai... he did!

"It's just a soul bone, why make such a fuss!" Dai Mubai raised an eyebrow and said, feigning disdain.

Even Tang San could see the smug look in his eyes this time!

Ma Hongjun shouted even louder, "Brother Dai! You're like a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of an starving man! You have a soul bone, but we don't! And you all have created your own soul skills, your combat techniques are all incredibly fierce, your combat power is all incredibly high, and your soul skills are all incredibly versatile! We don't have any! We only have four soul skills so far!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji and Flander's lips twitched slightly.

Only after Ma Hongjun mentioned this did they realize that Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Han Feng already possessed a number of soul skills comparable to those of them, who were Soul Saints.

This gave them a sense of awe and respect for the younger generation.

Of course, they were treating all of Tang San's Tang Sect techniques as his self-created soul skills.

"Don't say that! Fatty! Listen to me! I mentioned it to you last time, the Meatball Impact! Its practicality is definitely no less than Old Bai's Berserker Body! If all else fails, we can add your Phoenix Fire, and the whole Meatball Flame Chariot will be absolutely invincible!" Han Feng laughed when he heard Ma Hongjun's complaint, and said with a grin.

"Get out!" Ma Hongjun refused without hesitation, shouting in grief and indignation, "Han Feng! I never want to hear another word of 'meatball impact' again!"

"Alright! To make up for it, I'll treat you to a meat and egg stuffed scallion pancake, how about that?" Han Feng shrugged and said without any apology.

"Alright!" Upon hearing that Han Feng was treating him to dinner, Ma Hongjun immediately grinned, his mouth practically watering.

Hearing Han Feng and Ma Hongjun's conversation, everyone could only sigh and facepalm.

Han Feng has Ma Hongjun completely under his control; Ma Hongjun is beyond saving!

Seeing Ma Hongjun's smug expression, Oscar sighed and said self-pityingly, "Sigh! I wonder if there are any suitable soul bones for me? It's tough being a support soul master! We don't have true body armor, we don't have combat power, and the soul bones we can absorb are pitifully few!"

"Don't worry!" Dai Mubai said confidently, "Even if it doesn't happen this time, I'll get you a set in the future!"

Dai Mubai was obviously lying; he only had one soul bone, let alone a set. But Oscar's eyes lit up: "Boss Dai! From now on, you'll be my white moonlight!"

Seeing the group frolicking around, the master, fearing they might become arrogant, sternly shouted, "Don't think you're already champions! As far as I know, the Spirit Hall alone has sent three Soul Kings to participate in this competition! The rest of the participants are all Soul Masters!"

"Soul King!?" Oscar hadn't been happy for long when he was shocked again, his heart skipped a beat!

The deeper one goes in Soul Master cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. The gap between a Soul Master and a Soul King cannot be bridged by just one or two auxiliary skills!

Seeing the increasingly gloomy expressions on everyone's faces, Han Feng rolled his eyes and said to the master, "Master! This is where you're wrong!"

"You were the ones who helped us win the championship, and now you're the ones crushing our confidence. It makes it very difficult for us students to bring glory to our college..."

Ma Hongjun, standing next to Han Feng, muttered indignantly, "Exactly! It's just three Soul Kings! Han Feng gets one! Third Brother gets one! Boss Dai gets one! We're just going to coast along, isn't that a bit much?!"

After Ma Hongjun finished speaking, Han Feng and the other two didn't seem to care, but Ning Rongrong and the other two women stared at Ma Hongjun with sharp eyes, making Ma Hongjun feel a chill run down his spine!

How could they possibly be willing to let their beloved risk their lives to fight the Soul King?

Upon hearing Han Feng and Ma Hongjun's words, a hint of embarrassment crossed the master's stiff face: "Han Feng is right, I misspoke this time, but you must remember, confidence is a good thing, but you must never be arrogant!"

"Don't worry, Master! We're not children anymore! We naturally understand these simple principles!" Dai Mubai grinned and said confidently.

Flander clearly noticed the embarrassment on Grandmaster's face, so he stepped forward and said to everyone, "Xiao Gang is right! Pride comes before a fall! But don't underestimate yourselves. You can even organize a team of all Soul Masters, something that even the major elemental academies might not be able to do. With your talent, you might just be able to compete with the Spirit Hall!"

"But you must conceal your strength before encountering the Spirit Hall!"

Flander suddenly said, shouting towards the door, "Come in!"

As Flanders finished speaking, four figures of different heights walked in through the door.

"Talon?" Tang San exclaimed in surprise when he saw the tallest and most robust figure among them.

"Young Master!" Upon seeing Tang San, Tai Long immediately knelt down excitedly, making Tang San quite embarrassed.

Han Feng and Dai Mubai narrowed their eyes slightly as they looked at the other two boys besides Tai Long: "Wow! Old acquaintances!"

One of them is named Huang Yuan, a level 35 Power Attack Battle Soul Master with the Lone Wolf Martial Soul, whose Martial Soul differs from that of a blind Douluo who is known as the "Guide of God" by only one character; the other is named Ling Jing, a level 35 Agility Attack Battle Soul Master with the Skeleton Martial Soul.

These two sparred with Han Feng and his friends quite a bit when Shrek Academy replaced Blue Tyrant Academy!

They weren't very familiar with the girl, though.

So many years have passed, Han Feng has even forgotten the names of the teachers who recruited students at the entrance of Shrek Academy, how could he possibly remember the names of a few extras?

Ning Rongrong clearly noticed the confusion on Han Feng's face and whispered in his ear, "Her name is Jiang Zhu, a level 35 healing-type support Soul Master, and her Martial Soul is the Healing Scepter!"

Reminded by Ning Rongrong, Han Feng remembered, nodded, and murmured "oh" before falling silent.

Do we have to ask his age?

"These four are your substitutes! In the early stages of the competition, they will replace you to conceal your strength and make you less vulnerable to being targeted! In the coming months, you will need to train with them and practice combat techniques and tactics!" Flander said slowly, pointing to the four.

"Yes, Dean!"

After Flander finished speaking, all eight Shrek members and four Tyrone members responded in unison.
