Chapter 32: with translation of chapter title

This time it was already afternoon; inside the Tiandou Grand Soul Battle Arena it was already a sea of people, including the main Dou Hun Tai and the remaining twenty Dou Hun Tai, all fiercely conducting Soul Battles, countless bettors shouting hoarsely, as if the ones fighting were them.

Gu Xuan and the others followed Qin Ming into the Royal Battle Team's resting room; for a genius Soul Master team like theirs, which often comes here to Soul Battle, the Grand Soul Battle Arena always prepares a special resting room for them.

All members of the Royal Battle Team now possess silver Soul Battle badges; they can be said to be an extremely strong team.

In the Grand Soul Battle Arena's ranking, it begins with the iron Soul Battle badge, then the bronze Soul Battle badge, then the third-level silver, followed by gold, purple gold, sapphire, and ruby—seven levels in total.

The Royal Battle Team now stands at the third level, with all members holding silver Soul Battle badges—a rarity for their age—so each of their Soul Battles is a headline act, bringing the Grand Soul Battle Arena a considerable sum of gold soul coins, and they themselves have consequently earned a substantial income.

After entering the resting room, Qin Ming directly signed them up for Team Soul Battle; the best way to hone their team coordination is through combat, so Qin Ming gave Gu Xuan no time to adjust, instead letting them adjust in battle.

Losing isn't frightening; what's frightening is being unable to afford to lose.

Qin Ming saw Gu Xuan's talent, so he wanted to use this method to let Gu Xuan lose once, in order to better temper him.

Of course, this is Qin Ming's idea; Gu Xuan himself doesn't mind, because he is too familiar with his own team—frankly, having them cooperate in a team battle is truly no problem for Gu Xuan.

Moreover, this morning Gu Xuan also discussed the operation of their second soul skill with Shi Mo and Shi Mu; after Gu Xuan shared his idea with them, both felt it was feasible.

Although that would cause control of the soul skill to increase geometrically, if they could achieve the level Gu Xuan described, they could definitely be considered a powerful combat force with integrated offense and defense.

Moreover, most importantly, Gu Xuan directly gave them a cultivation method for divided attention control.

Although this method is not a secret in many major powers, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's divided attention control cultivation method is the most complete, because it is a technique that every Soul Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda needs to cultivate.

Shi Mo and Shi Mu naturally felt grateful for Gu Xuan's selflessness and generosity; having already been convinced by Gu Xuan's strength, they now approved of him even more.

After Qin Ming signed them up, he also helped Gu Xuan register a Soul Battle badge, using his real name; since it was his first registration, his Soul Battle badge level is the lowest iron Soul Battle badge.

However, he directly registered under the Royal Battle Team, so even if he has an iron Soul Battle badge, it doesn't matter, because the team's level matches the highest badge level among its members.

So even if they all have iron Soul Battle badges, as long as there is one person with a silver Soul Battle badge on the team, their team counts as a silver Soul Battle team.

After Qin Ming finished everything, he brought back the opponent's data.

After Qin Ming handed the data to everyone, he remained silent, merely watching from the side and observing each person's movements.

Looking at the opponent's data, everyone began to analyze; the opponent is also a silver Soul Battle team, and they have already won seven consecutive matches, making them a very strong team.

Their average age is in the teens, and they all have fire-attribute martial souls; however, when Gu Xuan saw their data, his expression changed slightly, because the opponent turned out to be the dark horse team from the Continental Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament in the original work—the Blaze Academy's Blaze Team.

The opponent's captain is Huo Wu, vice-captain is Huo Wushuang; they are biological siblings, both possessing extraordinary talent.

In the original work, Huo Wu debuted at eighteen with soul power already at rank forty-three, while Huo Wushuang at twenty was at rank forty-two; both have quite good talent.

Generally speaking, those who can break through to Soul Ancestor around twenty years old and to Soul Emperor around thirty are talents with the potential to impact the Titled Douluo realm in the future; even the least among them can impact a Soul Douluo.

Don't think only Titled Douluo are the strongest; although that is indeed the case, most Titled Douluo live in seclusion, while Soul Douluo are the main high-level wanderers of the continent, and even all Soul Douluo in the entire Soul Master world together number only a few hundred, so having the potential and talent to impact the Soul Douluo realm is already rare talent.

And Gu Xuan's opponents this time are precisely the Blaze Team from the original work; with less than three years until the next Continental Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament, they currently possess the strength of high-level Soul Elders, and since they come from the same academy, this will definitely be a tough battle. After seeing the data, Gu Xuan directly began assigning the participants; it was simple: everyone except Ao Si Luo would go up.

Ao Si Luo naturally was dissatisfied with this arrangement, after all, there was no opportunity to show his face, so he naturally was unhappy.

However, Gu Xuan didn't leave him out just because this kid is mischievous; this is the result Gu Xuan obtained after reviewing the Blaze Team's data, so even if Ao Si Luo is extremely unhappy, he didn't say much.

After all, before Gu Xuan arrived, they had already experienced many Soul Battle matches, so they naturally knew that the best lineup to counter would yield the best effect.

The seven members of the Blaze Team are the same as those in the original work's Continental Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament; it's just that their soul power levels aren't that high yet.

Captain Huo Wu is now only fifteen, with soul power at rank thirty-seven, martial soul: Fire Shadow, control type.

Vice-captain Huo Wushuang is sixteen, rank thirty-seven, martial soul: Unicorn Fire Explosion Dragon, strong attack type.

Member Huo Lie, rank thirty-five, martial soul: Fire Crane, swift attack type.

Huo Jun, rank thirty-five, martial soul: Fire Crane, swift attack type.

Huo Yu, rank thirty-four, martial soul: Fire Star, support type.

Huo Yun, rank thirty-four, martial soul: Fire Star, support type.

Huo Chui, rank thirty-four, martial soul: Fire Leopard, strong attack type.

This is the information of the Blaze Team members, which also includes introductions to their soul skills; however, the information is marked as not absolute, because the opponent may have hidden abilities, so it can only serve as a reference.

Gu Xuan arranged the tactics based on this information, and no one else objected, though Ao Si Luo felt some resentment but didn't say anything.

Gu Xuan patted Ao Si Luo's shoulder and said, 'Don't worry, you'll have a chance to go out in the future.'

Ao Si Luo resignedly replied, 'Alright, but you guys had better win.'

Gu Xuan smiled slightly and replied, 'Rest assured, I'm here.'

Regarding Gu Xuan's words, Ao Si Luo had no rebuttal; although Gu Xuan's soul power is currently the lowest among them, his combat strength is the strongest, so he couldn't refute.

At that moment, the room's loudspeaker announced: 'The next team match will be Royal Battle Team versus Blaze Team; please have both sides' Soul Masters proceed to the preparation area to get ready for the match.'

Hearing this announcement, Gu Xuan took the lead: 'Brothers, although this is our first time participating in Team Soul Battle, I believe our coordination can be the best—let's go!'

Everyone replied, 'Let's go!'

Afterward, everyone left the room and arrived at the preparation area.
