Of course, that sparring session that left the entire Sun Moon Team "shutting themselves away" was merely a whim of Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan's original intention was simply to teach these arrogant Geniuses a lesson and humble them.
To prevent them from becoming too inflated due to their increased strength, which might lead them to underestimate their opponents later.
Therefore, after this.
Liu Yuan did not continue to strike them in that extreme manner.
Instead, he returned to the usual rhythm.
Leading the team.
Training.
However, after that "baptism", the training enthusiasm of Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, and the others was higher than ever before.
After all.
No one wanted to be sent off the ring by their captain with just two skills again.
That was a humiliation!
It was also motivation!
...
In the blink of an eye, another month passed.
The boring yet fulfilling special training finally came to an end.
At this moment.
Only half a month remained until the official opening of the All-Continent High-Rank Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament.
Bright Capital.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy.
Today's weather was exceptionally clear, with not a single cloud in the sky.
The academy's largest central square was already packed with people.
Banners were fluttering.
Red flags were waving.
This was a grand departure ceremony.
It was to see off the warriors who were about to travel far to the Star Luo Empire to participate in the competition.
Tens of thousands of students from the academy had almost all spontaneously gathered here.
They wore neat uniforms, their faces filled with fanatical worship and anticipation.
Their gazes.
Were locked tightly on the front of the square.
There stood the students representing the academy in the battle.
They wore specially made dark green team uniforms, their postures upright like javelins piercing the sky.
Standing at the very front was naturally Liu Yuan.
His expression was calm, his hands behind his back, and his Aura of standing like a mountain remained as immovable as a towering peak, even in front of these tens of thousands.
Behind him.
On the left was Ma Rulong, and on the right was Xiao Hongchen.
Further back were Meng Hongchen, Mi Jia, Xiao Xiaofeng, and the other main team members.
Everyone exuded a heart-palpitating, murderous Aura.
"Silence!"
Suddenly.
A majestic voice, amplified by the spirit tool loudspeaker, instantly spread across the entire square.
The originally noisy crowd instantly quieted down.
You could hear a pin drop.
On the high platform.
An old man with a short, stout figure but an astonishing Aura walked slowly to the front of the stage.
It was the Dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy, Jing Hongchen.
His eyes were like lightning, slowly scanning the tens of thousands of students below, and finally, his gaze fell upon Liu Yuan and the others.
A trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
This was the strongest team he had ever seen since he took charge of the academy!
Without exception!
"Students."
Jing Hongchen spoke.
His voice was loud and full of energy.
"The All-Continent High-Rank Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament is about to begin."
"This is the highest stage for young Spirit Masters across the entire continent!"
"It is also the best battlefield to test the strength of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy!"
At this point, Jing Hongchen's voice suddenly rose.
"Some people say that Soul Engineers are inferior to Spirit Masters."
"Some people say that we can never defeat that so-called 'Number One Academy on the Continent' — Shrek."
"They have occupied that championship throne for far, far too long!"
"So long that it has made them forget reverence, so long that it has made the world think it is only natural!"
Jing Hongchen waved his fist fiercely, the fat on his face trembling—it was a tremble of excitement.
"But!"
"I want to tell you!"
"The era has changed!"
"This year, we possess an unprecedentedly strong lineup!"
"We have the most advanced spirit tool technology, we have the most talented students, and we even have a captain who can create miracles!"
Jing Hongchen took a deep breath and roared:
"This time, we have only one goal!"
"That is —"
"The championship!"
"Bring that damn trophy back to the Sun Moon Empire for me!"
"Sun Moon Invincible!"
"Sun Moon Invincible!"
"Sun Moon Invincible!"
