Chapter 208: Why Has the Captain Become Stronger Again?

Three days passed in a flash.

The members of the Seven Treasure Battle Team gathered in the training room to begin their subsequent training.

Surprisingly, the substitute members had all arrived, and no one was absent.

Wang Lang and the others smiled and said, "If the team achieves better results, we can bask in the glory too."

"For the sake of the team's honor, we cannot be slack."

The substitute members were also part of the team; if the battle team won the championship, it would count toward their life resumes.

Qiangu Changkong smiled and said, "Haha, good, then let's train together."

However, the main team members still had to set aside a small portion of time each day for team coordination training.

After all, the finals were the most important, and team training was indispensable.

Once they reached the stage of the finals, the substitute members would have no role, and the subsequent matches would be completed entirely by the main team members.

As for the one-on-one training, Ning Rongrong and Ning Tianyu, the two Auxiliary System Soul Masters, could not participate; the two stood to the side, watching everyone's training while also cheering them on.

Ning Tianyu was an Auxiliary System Soul Master; the finals did not require substitutes, and he could not compete in the promotion tournament either.

Theoretically speaking, his tournament journey had already ended, and he could rest early.

But he highly valued his comrades in the team, so he decided to accompany everyone to finish the promotion tournament.

The one-on-one training had nothing special about it.

Sun Buyu arranged for two people of similar strength in the team to conduct a one-on-one spar.

And the Dean of Academic Affairs, a Soul Saint powerhouse, observed the state of both sides during the match, pointed out their respective shortcomings, and corrected them.

Unsurprisingly, Wu Qi and Feng Xiaotian were paired as opponents.

"Then let us set an example for everyone." Feng Xiaotian laughed heartily and leaped onto the ring.

Ever since Wu Qi broke through to Soul King and returned, the two had never sparred with each other.

Today, it was just right to have a match and see how large the gap between them was.

Wu Qi responded with a faint smile, "Fine, then let us go first."

Ever since his soul power quality improved, Wu Qi clearly felt more enduring in battle.

Might as well use this spar to test exactly how strong he was!

On the ring, the two stood facing each other.

Both being Agility Attack System Spirit Masters, this duel was bound to be a clash of speed.

The members of the Seven Treasure Battle Team retreated to a distance, clearing the area of the ring.

For the sake of secrecy and to avoid the battle team's core members' trump cards being obtained by the outside world, they could only spar in the indoor training ground.

For a Soul King, such a venue was clearly too cramped and could not be fully utilized.

But this was only a spar after all, so there was no need for excessively fierce confrontation.

The ring area was barely enough.

The spar began, and Feng Xiaotian struck first.

"Second Spirit Skill, Gale Wings."

A pair of wings sprouted from his back, Feng Xiaotian soared into the air, sharp claws popped out from between his hands, and he swept toward Wu Qi.

Wu Qi responded calmly, his martial soul wings flapping as he took the initiative to meet Feng Xiaotian.

Spirit Masters above the Soul King level could already be called powerhouses, and their strength had undergone a qualitative change compared to Soul Ancestors.

The speed of the two was unimaginably fast; except for the siblings Huo Wushuang and his sister, who were High-level Soul Ancestors, the others could not see clearly at all.

"Is this Brother Wu's true strength!" Qiangu Changkong silently clenched his fists.

When the two first met, their soul power only differed by one level.

Now this gap was constantly widening, and even their true combat power had been pulled apart by a large margin.

He did not feel inferior or degenerate because of Wu Qi's increase in strength; instead, it stirred up the competitive spirit in his heart, and he would only train harder in the future.

As the Dean of Academic Affairs, Baili Kuan suddenly felt a bit strange, "Old Sun, has Little Wu's strength always been this formidable? I always feel that his soul power is overly abundant."

Sun Buyu was a High-level Soul King, so his perception of Wu Qi's strength changes was not that obvious.

"Dean Baili, really? Hasn't Little Wu always been very strong?"

Baili Kuan did not dwell on it further and continued to watch the spar.

Sunset Forest.

After a period of searching, the father and son finally found the first suitable Soul Beast.

Not far away, a Great Strength Demon Bear was snatching honey and fighting with bees.

Seeing this, Tang San's face turned gloomy, "Snatching the food of other Soul Beasts, what an evil Soul Beast. Dad, let it be this one; this kind of strength-type Soul Beast is very suitable for the Clear Sky Hammer's first Soul Ring."

The Great Strength Demon Bear's age reached seven thousand years, and Tang Hao could not help but feel worried, "Xiao San, with your realm, can you absorb a Soul Ring of such a high age?"

As for Tang San's previous words, he did not pay attention.

Did the Tang family need a reason to hunt Soul Beasts?

Tang San revealed his fourth Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring and explained, "Dad, my fourth Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring has an age of over six thousand years."

"Now with the bonus of the Soul Ring, a seven-thousand-year Soul Ring should not be my limit. If it weren't for the fact that the Great Strength Demon Bear's Soul Ring is quite suitable, I would definitely wait for a higher-age Soul Ring."

Feeling the power on the Soul Ring, Tang Hao nodded slightly, turned his head, and instructed, "Xiao San, hide well nearby, I'll be back in a moment."

A level 95 Super Douluo facing a seven-thousand-year Soul Beast had absolutely no pressure.

Tang Hao did not even bother to activate his martial soul; he used only his fists to beat this Great Strength Demon Bear until it didn't know which way was up.

"Dad's strength is so formidable, I cannot fall behind either." Tang San silently clenched his fists.

At the same time, he imagined in his mind the scene of defeating Wu Qi by relying on the Clear Sky Hammer.

……

Inside the training room.

The exchange between Wu Qi and Feng Xiaotian was not intense; neither side activated high-level soul skills, and they were merely testing each other.

As time passed, Feng Xiaotian's fatigue gradually became apparent, and his flight Speed had declined compared to when he first started.

In contrast, Wu Qi could still maintain high-speed movement continuously, and he showed no signs of exhaustion.

Feng Xiaotian soon realized the problem and was forced to use his Fourth Soul Skill, clashing head-on with Wu Qi while buying himself a chance to catch his breath.

After another three minutes, Baili Kuan announced in a loud voice, "Alright, the sparring ends here."

Once he finished speaking, the two stopped simultaneously and came before Baili Kuan, waiting for him to point out the mistakes they made during the sparring.

"Captain, how did you get stronger again?"

Feng Xiaotian could not help but ask.

Compared to their previous sparring sessions, he clearly felt the pressure increase sharply this time.

Although it looked like a stalemate on the surface, the situation was within Wu Qi's control; every time Feng Xiaotian wanted to break the deadlock, he ended up having to back down.

Wu Qi smiled faintly and replied, "We'll talk about it later."

Baili Kuan spoke up immediately, "The performance of you two has already surpassed the vast majority of Spirit Masters at the same level, but there were still some minor mistakes."

"Feng Xiaotian, when you fell into a passive position on the field, the excessively stirred-up air currents actually became a help to Wu Qi."

"Afterward, with your physical strength declining, you were overly anxious, which caused you to consume more soul power."

"In a life-or-death battle, your mistakes would be fatal."

"Aside from the two situations mentioned above, your overall performance was commendable; you rarely exposed your own weaknesses and did not give your opponent a chance to seize any leverage."
