In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 479 Competing for the top? What a joke!

Reception room of the Education Committee building of Tiandou Royal Academy.

"Two of our mentors are Soul Saints and three are Soul Emperors. Two of our students have already reached the Soul Venerable level before the age of 13. Their talent is truly remarkable. No wonder they were invited by Qin Ming." After listening to the information from the Shrek Academy group, Xue Beng was also slightly surprised.

Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingleng were able to become top-tier geniuses thanks to the Dragon God Douluo, while Tang San and Xiao Wu relied purely on their own talent.

It's quite remarkable that an obscure academy could produce such students.

"However, why are people from the Dai and Zhu families also at this academy?" His gaze involuntarily swept over Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

"I need to go back and report to my father later," he thought to himself.

Lost in thought, he heard footsteps outside the door. Turning around, he saw the door being pushed open, and Qin Ming popped his head out.

"Professor Qin Ming, you've come at the perfect time," Meng Shenji greeted him with a smile.

After a brief conversation, Qin Ming led the Shrek Academy students to their dormitory, and Xue Beng immediately took his leave.

"Dean Flander, how about I go help out in the second team too?" Qin Ming said after introducing the academy's situation on the way.

"What's wrong? Are you not happy being in the same team?" Zhao Wuji asked, puzzled.

"That's not it." Qin Ming shook his head. "It's just that the team is on the right track now, so it doesn't make much difference whether I'm there or not. The academy can easily arrange for other instructors to take my place. Besides, as a member of Shrek Academy, I also want to do my part for everyone."

"Qin Ming, you're really kind-hearted!" Zhao Wuji laughed.

Yu Xiaogang remained silent.

Qin Ming had been in the first team and was familiar with the training program, so joining the second team would indeed save him some trouble.

"Won't the education commission have any objections?" Flander asked hesitantly.

"Dean Flander, you can rest assured about that," Qin Ming said with a smile. "Right now, I'm the only one in the entire academy who is familiar with you all, so it's most suitable for me to join the second team for communication and coordination."

Previously, some of the younger students had offended the second team members, and he was able to mediate the situation.

Flanders also realized this and nodded slightly, "That's true."

"Then I'll take everyone to their dorms first, and then I'll go talk to the education committee," Qin Ming said with a smile.

"Alright." Flander said no more and followed Qin Ming on their way.

In the afternoon, Qin Ming, along with the leader of the second team, arrived at the residence of the first team of trainees to personally explain the situation and complete the handover.

Qin Ming was actually from Shrek Academy. No wonder he favored Shrek Academy at the Soto City Grand Arena. Dugu Yan felt a chill run down her spine, nodded slightly, and accepted Qin Ming's choice. She didn't want a spy in her team.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to leave the team, it suits her just fine.

On the other side, after learning about the situation from Xue Beng, Xue Ye and Xue Qinghe immediately realized that Dai Mubai wanted to use this Soul Master Competition to compete for the position of Crown Prince.

In contrast to Davis, the two also felt that Dai Mubai was too useless, so they did not intend to interfere.

On the contrary, they were happy to see Dai Mubai seize the position of Crown Prince with the help of their Heaven Dou Empire, so that they could use it as an excuse to make trouble later.

Silent all night.

The following morning, with the mediation of Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng, the members of Team Two reluctantly accepted the addition of the Shrek Seven Devils.

During this time, Yu Tianheng did not reveal his relationship with Yu Xiaogang, only referring to him as "Master".

The incident that Yu Xiaogang caused back then has aroused the dissatisfaction of the entire family. If his identity is exposed, he will probably be arrested and punished by the family, which is obviously not what he wants to see.

Let's wait until the team achieves good results in the Soul Master Competition before going back to the clan to discuss it.

After the formal introduction, training began.

Taking this opportunity, Yu Xiaogang also learned more about the team's training program.

Then, a lot of ideas popped into my head.

However, he also knew that in order to implement this, he had to first gain the trust of the second team members and establish his authority.

Therefore, under the pretext of familiarizing himself with soul skills, he quickly arranged for his disciple Tang San to spar with the original members of the second team. And the result, naturally, was that Tang San won repeatedly.

With such a capable disciple, the master must be equally skilled. In an instant, all the members of the second team were convinced.

Yu Xiaogang was quite satisfied; his back straightened considerably, and he looked indifferent, like a wise man.

"They really thought they were trained by me?" Zhu Wu felt like he was watching a clown.

A few days later, Tang San, who was still thinking about Tang Clan's hidden weapons, asked Yu Tianheng Tian Dou City if there were any good blacksmith shops.

Yu Tianheng immediately thought of and recommended the Power Clan, and provided the detailed address of their blacksmith shop.

So, taking advantage of his free time, Tang San rushed to the blacksmith shop of the Power Clan to seek cooperation and ask for a part-time job, showing off his Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique on the spot. The disciples of the Power Clan were shocked, and since Tang San happened to share the same surname, they couldn't help but make connections, so they immediately summoned the clan leader, Titan.

Upon asking, they learned that Tang San's father was named Tang Hao. After some probing, Tang San immediately knelt down and shouted "Young Master!"

Then, the next day, Tyrone joined the second team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Because there were too many participants, Yu Xiaogang proposed that they hold internal sparring sessions before the start of the Soul Master Competition preliminaries, with the losers being eliminated, which would also put some competitive pressure on them.

For a time, Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing, who were at the bottom in strength, felt immense pressure and became even more diligent in their cultivation.

Of course, Ma Hongjun was forced by Flander, while Zhu Zhuqing did it voluntarily.

"Zhu Qing and I have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so there shouldn't be any problems." Dai Mubai wasn't afraid of Zhu Zhu Qing being eliminated at all, but in order to defeat his older brother Davis, who was much older than him, he still put in a lot of effort to cultivate, hoping to break through level 40 before the competition.

He was already level 38 two months ago, so there's still hope that he can level up 2 times in a year.

Time flies. Three months later, under Zhu Wu's watchful gaze, Yu Xiao began to work on her skills and adjust her original training program.

If the project is fine, then increase the difficulty and rearrange the combinations. Is your body struggling? Then add a medicinal bath.

The recipe brought by Dugu Yan was personally overseen by Dragon God Douluo, so there's absolutely no problem with it. The team is already using it; they just need to increase the dosage, since the academy is paying for it anyway.

As for why the academic affairs office agreed, one can only say that Yu Xiaogang is very good at bluffing.

"The familiar recipe, the familiar taste." Zhu Wu said that he was very familiar with this scene.

"Has Yu Xiaogang gone mad?" Ning Rongrong was speechless when she learned about the situation a few days later. She didn't think there would be any problems with the training program personally planned by the teacher. On the contrary, she thought that Yu Xiaogang's self-righteous modification would cause problems sooner or later.

"Let them be," Dugu Yan said indifferently. "Anyway, it's not us who are being harmed, so let's just pretend we didn't hear about it."

"I'll talk to the team leader later. The team doesn't need intensive training right now; just maintaining their current form is enough."

Ning Rongrong nodded slightly, no longer dwelling on it, and continued training with the team as usual.

Nine months passed quickly.

As the Soul Master Competition was about to begin, Yu Xiaogang began his commentary on the competition in the living room of Team Two's dormitory.

His gaze swept over the crowd, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Tang San, his disciple, has a soul power level of 37. He has increased his level by 3 in a year, and if things go as expected, he should be able to break through to level 38 before the finals. Although breaking through to the Soul Master level is hopeless, it is still extremely impressive. This cultivation speed is much better than Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai.

Xiao Wu and her disciple both possess innate full soul power, and now Xiao Wu's soul power is also at level 37, showing no signs of falling behind, which is quite impressive.

Yu Tianheng is level 42. He was already level 39 in Soto City. Now, one year and two months later, his soul power is still at level 42, which is average. After all, absorbing a soul ring will increase one level, meaning he has only increased two levels in over a year. Dai Mubai and Shi Mo are both level 41, and they have also only increased two levels in the past year. They just obtained their soul rings and broke through to the Soul Master level, so their progress is also average.

Shi Mo is level 39, Tai Long is level 39, Oscar is level 34, Ma Hongjun is level 32, Zhu Zhuqing is level 32, plus a level 37 agility-attack type soul master, for a total of 11 people.

As the only flying Soul Master in the team, and also a fire-attribute one, Ma Hongjun felt he could be useful when facing the veteran powerhouse Tianshui Academy.

Zhu Zhuqing can form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Dai Mubai, making their combined combat power comparable to that of a Soul King.

Oscar goes without saying; his third soul skill is comparable to a divine skill, so he must be kept.

After careful consideration, he finalized the team configuration.

As for competing for the top position, although Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation level is low, she can form a martial soul fusion skill with Dai Mubai. 1 plus 1 is greater than 2. If they want to compete for the top position, they must defeat these two in a 2V2 battle. Yu Tianheng and others do not need to compete. No matter how they combine, they cannot defeat those who do compete.

Oscar, as a support Soul Master, doesn't need to compete for a higher position. Ma Hongjun can fly, giving him a natural advantage over ground-based opponents.

The so-called competition for promotion was just him giving her a way out.
