Chapter 159 Reserve Members

"Third Brother, what are you looking at?"

A sudden voice interrupted Tang San's thoughts.

He looked away, regained his composure, and shook his head. "I wasn't looking at anything. I just thought someone was watching me."

The result might be that he's been a bit tense lately.

After all, the big competition is just around the corner.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong turned her head and cast her gaze in the direction where Tang San had been looking.

However, unlike Tang San, she did not remain unseen by anyone.

She saw the backs of a man and a woman. The girl was tall, and the boy standing next to her was slightly taller than her. The two were walking very close and seemed to be talking about something.

She noticed that the girl was wearing a dark green short skirt, and she looked somewhat familiar.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like she'd seen those two people somewhere before.

But no matter what, I can't remember.

Just then, Xiao Wu's voice rang out, "Perhaps you're mistaken?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong lowered her eyes and thought to herself.

Perhaps she misread it?

After all, it was just a view from behind.

After the other party finally looked away, Wen Ning shrugged. "I knew it. Even if I appeared in front of them, they might not recognize me."

Her tone was so certain.

But Qi Lin, who was standing to the side, said, "You can't recognize them from behind. You should be able to recognize them if you stand in front of them."

After all, Wen Ning doesn't have an average face.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ning chuckled lightly, "Then I definitely can't stand."

"By the way, are we going to draw lots to decide which team we'll be playing against tomorrow?"

She suddenly remembered this.

Because it's an elimination tournament, the winners are determined by a draw.

However, it seems that the decision was made by drawing lots by the team captain.

Bibi Dong replaced Xie Yue as the team captain.

In other words, the one to be drawn at that time will be Xie Yue.

As for why the captain was changed, Wen Ning had some guesses in his mind.

That is, Bibi Dong didn't want Hu Liena to be under so much pressure.

After all, as the captain, he has to bear the greatest pressure.

Furthermore, considering the current strength of the seven members of the Golden Generation, Xie Yue is indeed the strongest in terms of overall strength.

No one objected to him being appointed as the team leader.

Xie Yue naturally did not refuse and accepted it readily.

"Yes, the teams we play against will be decided by a draw by the team captains."

A unified lottery ceremony will be held at that time.

However, each college has regular players and reserve players. During official matches, the team leader can decide whether or not to let the reserve players play.

Wen Ning felt that the reserve players did not need to play, but even so, there were still arrangements for the reserve players.

The Spirit Hall's reserve team members are all composed of Spirit Masters.

The captain and vice-captain of the reserve team are stronger than Qi Lin and Feng Qi.

The reserve team captain is a level 47 offensive Soul Master with the Martial Soul Giant Ape.

The reserve team's vice-captain is a level 45 agility-attack type Soul Master with the Martial Soul Cheetah.

Both of them are stronger than Qi Lin or Feng Qi.

Even Wen Lin, they might not be convinced.

However, because Wen Lin was stronger than Feng Qi and Qi Lin, and was also Wen Ning's older brother, no one targeted Feng Qi.

However, this does not mean that Feng Qi and Qi Lin are not being targeted.

Just like right now.

Qi Lin and Wen Ning were walking back to the Spirit Hall when someone suddenly appeared. "Oh, the competition is about to begin. Is Qi Lin already certain of victory?"

The man's voice was full of sarcasm, as if he looked down on Qi Lin.

Before Qi Lin could speak, he spoke again, "You still have the leisure to stroll around here? You must be very confident, right?"

"If you have that kind of confidence, and you end up holding the team back, I hope you'll choose to let someone stronger play instead of shamelessly clinging to your starting spot."

The man's words became increasingly sharp and sarcastic, making the listener very uncomfortable.

Wen Ning stood beside Qi Lin, quietly watching the man in front of her spew profanities.

Finally, after the man stopped talking, she finally spoke, "So... you're the stronger one?"

Wen Ning's words carried a hint of doubt, as if she were questioning something.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

The man, who had originally looked fierce, softened his expression considerably when he saw Wen Ning.

Even her tone wasn't as harsh as before. "Xiao Ning, that's not what I meant."

He was just so angry.

On what grounds?

Why can't he be a regular player?

His strength is clearly greater than Qi Lin's!

And then there's Feng Qi, who is clearly not as strong as me, yet he can still become a regular member. So why can't he?

Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue have all reached the Soul King level, and he has no objection to them being the main team members, because their strength is sufficient.

He was convinced that Wen Ning was a regular member of the team. She broke through to the Soul King level at the age of thirteen, and there was no one in the entire Douluo Continent who cultivated faster than her.

It's still a top-tier martial soul.

But what gives Feng Qi the right to do so?

What gives Qi Lin the right to do so?

Just because they have a good relationship with Wen Ning and the others, can they become regular team members?

Actually, Wen Lin was also not entirely convinced.

However, since this person was Wen Ning's older brother, he could pretend not to see it.

Because he knew that His Holiness the Pope now valued Wen Ning even more than Hu Liena.

He had no need to provoke Wen Ning unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, the only relatively strong members of the reserve team are him and the vice-captain.

Although the others were all Soul Masters, they were still no match for Feng Qi and his group.

There are only two positions available. Why can't he replace Qi Lin and Feng Qi and let himself and the vice-captain go up?

Wen Ning stared at him, calmly asking, "Then... what do you mean? Do you want to fight him?"

"Of course I'm not afraid of him."

The man's voice was loud and clear, his eyes were firm, and there was a hint of provocation in his gaze as he looked at Qi Lin.

It seems he really wants to compete with Qi Lin.

Qi Lin does have a good temper and usually doesn't get angry easily, but in this situation... the fact that Qi Lin can hold back his anger makes him practically a doormat.

Therefore, when Qi Lin heard this, his eyes flashed with anger, and he immediately said, "You think I'm afraid of you? If you dare..."

He had barely begun to speak when Wen Ning interrupted him, "If you guys fight now, and Qi Lin isn't in good form tomorrow, affecting the match, are you going to take responsibility?"

Wen Ning's words were directed at the man in front of her.

Cheng Hu's eyes widened slightly upon hearing Wen Ning's words, as if he had realized something.

"Xiao Ning, what are you saying? If Qi Lin isn't in good form tomorrow, just substitute a reserve player."

"What if the reserve players are even better than him?"

If the previous remarks were subtle sarcasm, now they've gone straight for the kill.

Qi Lin's face instantly turned ugly. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he could speak, Wen Ning said, "Then why don't you go and say something to His Holiness the Pope?"
