There was still about a year and a half until the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament.
All the major academies were selecting team members and beginning their intense preparations.
Blue Tyrant Academy had recently been enjoying immense success, except for Heaven Dou Royal Academy, with Meng Shenji shamelessly revoking their right to use the simulated cultivation system.
However, it didn't matter much, as the simulated environment sponsored by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be completed in another two or three months.
Furthermore, with the arrival of the titled Dugu Bo, the students' cultivation speed had noticeably increased rapidly.
Especially Tailong, who possessed the Mighty Ape, had advanced to level 35 in a short time, and was very likely to enter the Soul Master realm before the Soul Master Tournament.
Outstanding senior students like Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, and Jiang Zhu had also broken through to the Soul Venerable realm. Among the
newer students were excellent students like Yu Tianheng at level 38 and Dugu Yan at level 37.
With four students who were highly likely to break through to the Soul Master level before the competition, the Blue Tyrant Team had already taken shape.
Compared to Liu Erlong, who walked with an air of confidence, Meng Shenji looked at the academy's reports with a worried expression every day.
The Royal Fighting Team's highest-level members were currently the level 36 Shi Mo and the level 35 Shi Mo, both of whom were defensive-type Soul Masters.
Without any offensive-type Soul Masters, relying solely on agility-type Soul Masters like Oslo would leave the team lacking in direct firepower during matches.
"Sigh, one wrong step leads to another,"
Meng Shenji lamented. This lineup was absolutely uncompetitive in the Soul Master Competition.
If it weren't for the Heaven Dou Empire's guaranteed admission, they probably wouldn't even have a chance in the preliminaries.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaowei was at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, trying to persuade Ning Fengzhi.
"Uncle Ning, you can't just keep Rongrong at home all the time. She still needs to go to school."
"Our Blue Tyrant Academy has everything we need now, and she can even
spend time with me to build a bond." "Besides, if someone tries to kidnap us again in the future, at least we won't be too scared to move."
Ning Fengzhi took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"You two need to build a bond?"
"It's too dangerous for Rongrong to go out alone now. I'm worried about her."
"With Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu in the sect, no villain would dare to mess with her."
Since she was almost kidnapped by Salas last time, Ning Rongrong has been confined to her home for almost two months.
The little princess has thrown countless tantrums in frustration. If it weren't for Yu Xiaowei's occasional visits to play with her, the roof of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would probably have been ripped off.
Yu Xiaowei has always had reservations about Ning Fengzhi's way of protecting her.
He was almost kidnapped himself back then.
In the end, Yu Yuanzhen said domineeringly, 'The Spirit Hall will not attack you again.'
And then he continued to let him roam free.
He was even warned not to go out and cause trouble.
"Those cowards from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School,"
Yu Xiaowei muttered to himself, then said with a smile.
"Uncle Ning, you can't say that. My uncle and two grandfathers have already warned the Spirit Hall."
"The Spirit Hall has also guaranteed that the Salas incident will not happen again."
"You're still keeping Rongrong locked up at home all the time, it's not a good thing."
However, no matter how Yu Xiaowei tried to persuade him, Ning Fengzhi remained unmoved, instead saying something completely out of the blue.
"The spirit bone your family sent is of very good quality."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaowei understood what he meant and immediately patted his chest, guaranteeing it.
"Uncle Ning, don't worry, Rongrong is just going there to learn, there won't be any other extra trouble."
"I'll protect her in Heaven Dou City, Rongrong's spirit bone will definitely not be exposed."
"I promise I will never take her out of Heaven Dou City alone again. If we need to leave the city, I will definitely ask Senior Dugu Bo to take us with us."
Ning Fengzhi nodded in satisfaction, got up and walked away, saying as he spoke.
"Go back. Uncle Jian took Rongrong to your Blue Tyrant Academy early this morning. They're probably having class right now."
As Yu Xiaowei stared in disbelief, he casually walked out.
Somewhat annoyed, he returned to Blue Tyrant Academy.
There, he saw Ning Rongrong in class, running around excitedly, clearly bored after two months of being cooped up.
"That old man Ning Fengzhi, if he's worried about Rongrong's safety, he should just say so! Why all the fuss?"
Burdened with resentment, Yu Xiaowei didn't disturb Ning Rongrong's frantic running around the playground and turned to find Liu Erlong.
With Ning Rongrong's arrival, Blue Tyrant's team roster could be changed.
Currently, they had the most offensive players: Yu Xiaowei, Yu Tianheng, Huang Yuan, and Tailong. They
had Dugu Yan in the control category,
Jing Ling in the agility category , Ning
Rongrong in the support category, and Jiang Zhu in the healing category.
However, aside from necessary rotations during the gauntlet battles, the team competition in the Soul Master Tournament required seven players per team.
Therefore, the main combat personnel needed to be rearranged.
According to Yu Xiaowei's thinking, the only one who could be replaced was Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, or Jiang Zhu.
It wasn't simply because their soul power was the lowest.
More importantly, they weren't irreplaceable.
Especially Jing Ling; it wasn't that Yu Xiaowei looked down on agility-based soul masters, but he felt they were completely unnecessary.
Unless someone like Feng Xiaotian was proficient in both agility and power-based attacks.
In the past two months, he had beaten up no fewer than five agility-based soul masters in the Heaven Dou Arena.
They were not only afraid of the nuclear radiation field's control, but when they attacked him, it was the same old story:
'Master, stop scratching!'
Although his soul power hadn't increased after consuming the Ice-Fire Grass, his physical body had been tempered.
He had noticed this when he beat up Yu Tianxin before; even after the kid transformed into a dragon, he couldn't break through his scales.
Therefore, he felt that agility-based soul masters were truly dispensable.
However, these three were all veteran students, and their feelings for Lan Ba were quite deep. If Yu Tianheng and the others hadn't suddenly joined the academy, they would have been the main fighting force.
Therefore, he needed to discuss this matter with Liu Erlong to see what to do.
After arriving at the familiar little thatched hut, Yu Xiaowei called out several times, but no one came out.
"Huh, strange, where did my older sister go today?"
Yu Xiaowei skillfully picked a fruit from Liu Erlong's vegetable garden, didn't wash it, and took a big bite before pushing open the door and entering the house.
Looking at the mess in the room, Yu Xiaowei raised an eyebrow.
Liu Erlong inherited Yu Luomian's personality; she was usually carefree and would just throw things away after using them.
Coincidentally,
Yu Xiaowei was a Virgo with a slight case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he couldn't stand her messy appearance.
"Sigh—, the capable should do more, what can I do? She's the older sister, and I'm the younger brother."
After sighing, Yu Xiaowei, still chewing on the fruit, began tidying up the house for Liu Erlong.
While tidying the table, an open letter caught his attention.
Sneaking a peek at someone else's letter was a bad thing.
But Yu Xiaowei, with his sharp eyes, caught sight of three words written on it that deeply resonated with him.
'Yu Xiaogang'—
a surge of inexplicable rage suddenly rose within him. He grabbed the letter and began to read.
The more he read, the more ashen-faced he became! The more he read
, the heavier his breathing grew!
