Chapter 36: Undead Bone Dragon Team (Please collect, recommend tickets, monthly votes!)

Afterwards, Qin Ming started commenting on the others; except for Gu Xuan, the first person he commented on was naturally the team captain Yu Tianheng.

"Tianheng, based on Gu Xuan's tactical arrangement, you did quite well this time; your strength is evenly matched with Huo Wushuang, preventing him from diverting to execute their tactics—that alone is enough."

"However, there is one point I need to remind you of; this point is based on Gu Xuan's performance, so you don't need to feel pressured."

Qin Ming said, Yu Tianheng nodded and replied, "Teacher Qin, please speak."

Qin Ming said: "If you could fight above your level like Gu Xuan does, that would be even better; the opposing side is the Blazing Fire Academy's ace team, undoubtedly they are all talents as well; Gu Xuan can suppress a Soul Master two levels higher in soul power than him; if you could also achieve this, your future accomplishments will reach a new height."

Afterwards Qin Ming looked at the others besides Gu Xuan: "You are also like that; I know this demand is harsh for you, but Gu Xuan can do it, so I think you have no reason not to."

Upon hearing this, the others also had fiery eyes, because Qin Ming had a point that stimulated them: Gu Xuan can do it, so what right do they have not to? "Teacher Qin, I will strive to improve myself; we all acknowledge Xiao Xuan's talent and strength, and we are also learning his training method, so rest assured on this point; given time, I think we may not surpass Xiao Xuan, but we will definitely make you look at us anew." Yu Tianheng replied earnestly.

Not only Yu Tianheng, but the others are likewise.

Qin Ming nodded in satisfaction, then continued to comment on Du Gu Yan.

Qin Ming's materials are very detailed; this also proves that he is indeed a responsible and capable good teacher.

After the comments, Qin Ming had intended to let them relax a bit, but Gu Xuan refused, because he still wanted to continue Soul Battle.

In the Grand Soul Battle Arena, besides a team Soul Battle, there are also individual Soul Battle and duo combination Soul Battle each day.

Because Gu Xuan actually did not consume much soul power in the recent match, it undoubtedly supports his continuing Soul Battle; he also wanted to give himself some pressure, so he chose to stay.

And since Gu Xuan stayed, the others also felt embarrassed to leave, but each was full of vigor, because chasing after Gu Xuan they were not just talking—they were serious.

Moreover, it's only three o'clock in the afternoon now; the day is still long, enough for them to recover their soul power before continuing Soul Battle.

Moreover, they have this private lounge, which is also very convenient.

Because Ye Lingling is a support-type Soul Master, and the others were recovering their soul power, Gu Xuan first conducted an individual Soul Battle by himself, then teamed up with Ye Lingling.

The way this teaming works is that in a duo combination, each person can only be in one combination; previously Ye Lingling was in a combination with Du Gu Yan, and if she wanted to reteam with Gu Xuan, she would first need to dissolve her combination with Ye Lingling, settle the points, and then team up with Gu Xuan.

Du Gu Yan was somewhat dissatisfied with this, after all, deep down she also somewhat wanted to team up with Gu Xuan; after all, this kid is not only handsome but also strong! Teaming with him is naturally the easiest.

However, Ye Lingling is a support-type Soul Master, she lacks direct combat ability, and Gu Xuan is the strongest among them; only by him leading Ye Lingling can she progress more quickly.

Therefore, for the sake of her close friend's future, Du Gu Yan could only bear to let go.

After dissolving the combination with Du Gu Yan, Ye Lingling reteamed with Gu Xuan; because Ye Lingling already possesses the Silver Soul Battle Badge, even though Gu Xuan currently only has the Iron Soul Battle Badge, their team is of Silver Soul Battle Badge rank.

As for the team, Gu Xuan didn't mind; in fact, this made him even more satisfied, allowing him to skip beating up novices and jump straight into high-level matches.

His and Ye Lingling's combination is called the Undead Bone Dragon, meaning that with Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia, he becomes an indestructible bone dragon. Ye Lingling feels deeply grateful that Gu Xuan proactively offered to bring her along, for although she is a support-type Soul Master, she also wants to become stronger; she is somewhat aloof in temperament, but not cold-hearted.

"Gu Xuan, thank you." Following behind Gu Xuan, Ye Lingling's voice sounded softly, very pleasant.

Gu Xuan paused, turned his head to look at Ye Lingling's eyes, and softly said: "You're being so polite, duck; it seems I treat you as one of our own, but you merely regard me as an outsider."

Gu Xuan deliberately said that, also to give Ye Lingling some more guidance, to make her more optimistic.

But unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Ye Lingling panicked and stammered: "No… no… not… not… like that… I… I really…"

Gu Xuan, helpless, extended his right hand, placed his big hand on Ye Lingling's head, and comforted: "Alright, just teasing you."

Upon hearing that, Ye Lingling breathed a sigh of relief, her sparkling eyes fixed on Gu Xuan; for some reason, if it were someone else, that hand would surely not reach her head.

But when Gu Xuan's hand reached out, she not only did not dodge, nor did she feel any particular strangeness; she also did not know why.

Perhaps because over these past two days, Gu Xuan gave her the feeling of being a selfless older brother, unconditionally trusting and helping them, just like Teacher Qin.

Although they had only been in contact for a few days, Ye Lingling felt as if Gu Xuan were already an older brother she had known for a long time, or like a teacher.

Moreover, not only Ye Lingling, but the other members of the Royal Battle Team are also like this; and this is also why Gu Xuan chose from the outset to portray himself as a selfless individual.

He has sufficient background, talent, and strength, so doing all of this comes naturally.

Of course, this premise is that they are not narrow-minded people; otherwise, even if Gu Xuan behaved as selflessly and approachably as possible, it would be of no use.

Fortunately, Gu Xuan had understood them beforehand, not only from the original work, but also from his usual observations.

Do you think Gu Xuan went to see Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) in a day just to take advantage of him? That would be completely wrong.

Our Gu Xuan, the young master, is with a busy person; he won't do meaningless things.

When he came to find Xue Qinghe, he told him he wanted to join the academy to study a bit and, incidentally, meet some peers of his age; and as Xue Qinghe is the crown prince, his recommendation was naturally the Heavenly Fighting Royal Academy.

Gu Xuan then took the opportunity to obtain Yu Tianheng and their data, and then studied it carefully……

Gu Xuan first conducted an individual Soul Battle; since his Soul Battle Badge was still only the Iron Soul Battle Badge, during the individual Soul Battle his opponent was merely a Soul Elder of the same thirty-third rank, and Gu Xuan went up and quickly settled the fight with a pinching grip.

Then it was his and Ye Lingling's turn for the combination Soul Battle; the two of them are now on the way to the preparation area.
