Douluo Continent: Transmigrated into Tang San's Younger Sister and Became a God with Two Martia

Chapter 102 Encountering Shi Nian

Tang San, however, noticed something amiss. He frowned and slowly asked, "Master, while the Five Elements Academy is powerful and has obvious strengths, its weaknesses are also quite apparent. Why don't they cooperate? Wouldn't that make them even stronger?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai also looked curious and asked, puzzled, "Yes, Master, if they were willing to cooperate, they should be very strong, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the master, their eyes filled with doubt, all wanting to know the real reason behind it.

The master sighed, a hint of helplessness on his face, and slowly said, "This is because there is a struggle between two major factions in the world of Soul Masters: the Balance Faction and the Extremist Faction."

"Most of the Soul Masters in the Heaven Dou Empire are supporters of extremism. They believe that Soul Masters should focus all their energy on one attribute, pursuing the ultimate attack or defense. Because of this, they develop their abilities in a single direction."

"The Soul Masters of the Star Luo Empire are staunch supporters of the balance faction. They advocate a balance between offense and defense and pursue all-round development. They not only need to have strong offensive capabilities, but also sufficient defensive and support capabilities. This philosophy makes them much less vulnerable in battle."

At that moment, a thought suddenly struck Tang Nian, and she remembered the people from the Spirit Hall. She asked, "What about the Spirit Hall? Which faction do they support?"

The master shook his head with a puzzled look and said, "The Spirit Hall has not publicly supported any particular school of thought, and in fact, people from both schools have joined the Spirit Hall. Our Shrek Academy, on the other hand, takes a path of individual extremism and team balance."

As he spoke, the master's gaze fell on Tang Nian, and he said with a slightly deep tone, "Of course, there is an exception to this, and that is Tang Nian. Although her style is not specifically divided, her strength is extreme, and even in a team, it is not easy for her to take a balanced approach."

"Your team battles are actually not suitable for Tang Nian. She is more suited to one-on-one combat. I believe that even among Soul Kings of the same level or even Soul Venerables, very few people would be a match for Tang Nian."

"However, for you, strengthening your own abilities is very important. For a team, if no one is proficient in an extreme skill, it's best if teammates can fill that gap. Moreover, this team will surpass other teams of the same level. Do you understand?"

Tang Nian nodded, seemingly understanding, and asked, "Then, teacher, has the Balanced Flow style been dominant all these years?"

The master shook his head with feigned profundity and said, "That's not the case. It should be said that the fusion style has gained the upper hand. In all these years, I am not actually the first to fuse the two styles together."

"The people who actually did this were the Spirit Hall. Every student who represented the Spirit Hall in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition did this, and that's why the Spirit Hall always won the championship."

At this point, the master's expression suddenly turned serious. "If your ultimate goal is the championship, then you only have one opponent, and that is the Spirit Hall Academy. The Spirit Hall's true strength is far greater than you currently realize."

Upon hearing this, Tang Nian's expression suddenly turned serious, and she slowly said, "Master, I'll return to the academy first."

Ma Hongjun turned to look at her, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Aren't you going to watch their match?"

Tang Nian shook her head and said, "I want to go back and train a little longer. Since the Spirit Hall Academy is so strong, I should also make myself stronger."

The master looked at her, but ultimately didn't say anything in refusal. He simply said, "Don't overwork yourself. In that case, you should go back now."

Tang Nian nodded and turned to leave.

However, what she didn't know was that Tang San also came out shortly after she left.

Tang Nian walked ahead, her head bowed, seemingly lost in thought. Her enthusiasm was palpable. Tang San's eyes flickered as he followed closely behind, wanting to see what was wrong with her lately.

Just then, not only Tang San behind them, but also Tang Nian in front of them noticed that something was wrong.

She had been away from the Heaven Dou Arena for quite some time, and it shouldn't be far from Shrek Academy. At her usual pace, she should have arrived long ago.

But for some reason, this road feels unusually long today. We've been walking for so long, but we still haven't seen the gates of Shrek Academy.

Moreover, it was morning, and the sunlight should have felt warm on her skin, but for some reason, Tang Nian felt a sense of unreality.

Tang Nian couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, or perhaps it was a woman's intuition, but she just felt wary of this place.

Sensing something was wrong, Tang Nian immediately stopped. Heavy footsteps sounded behind her, and for some reason, they seemed somewhat familiar.

Although the person didn't speak, Tang Nian quickly recognized that it was Tang San.

She slowly began to speak, "Brother—"

Tang San didn't dare to delay and quickly walked to Tang Nian's side, lowering his voice to ask, "You've noticed something's wrong too?"

Tang Nian nodded slowly.

Just then, a faint figure appeared in front of the two siblings not far away.

"You two are indeed outstanding disciples of Shrek Academy. Unfortunately, it's too late for you to discover my existence now."

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

Tang Nian and Tang San had both seen the newcomer before; it was Shi Nian, a teacher at Canghui Academy and a Soul Saint of level seventy-two.

Tang San instinctively pulled Tang Nian behind him, frowning and looking wary as he asked, "Teacher, what brings you here?"

Shi Nian spoke calmly, "I've been looking for a time when you're alone, but unfortunately, you and your Shrek crew always act together. However, I've finally found that opportunity today. It's just a pity about the little girl behind you."

As time passed, the scene here changed; it was no longer the bustling Tiandou Street.

Instead, it was in a desolate, uninhabited forest, where the wind rustled through the trees.

Tang San reacted quickly, instantly taking out the Zhuge Crossbow and shooting it at Shi Nian, but Tang San's little plan failed.

The Zhuge Divine Crossbow seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving no trace on Shi Nian's body.

Tang Nian quickly realized something was wrong and said, "Brother, this shouldn't be the real scene. It's his martial spirit, so it must be virtual."

Shi Nian couldn't help but glance at Tang Nian again.
