Chapter 60: Black Robe Internal, Strength is Supreme, Fusion of External Soul Bones

After having breakfast.

All the Slake trainees gathered on the field, clearly fully recovered and radiant.

Fulangde, with all the teachers, stood opposite the trainees.

His gaze was very solemn.

First, he introduced the other teachers in the academy to the four newly arrived trainees.

Li Yusong, Lu Qibin, Shao Xin.

Two Soul Emperors and one Soul Saint.

And also Zhao Wuji and Fulangde.

The tiny Slake actually has three Soul Saints and two Soul Emperors!

In fact, the four new trainees had already met these teachers; Xiao Xian had long ago taken them to visit each one.

But Fulangde's purpose was merely to bring out the Master.

Sure enough.

Fulangde walked to the Master's side, draped an arm over the Master's shoulder, and said, "Finally, this one, I'll give everyone a detailed introduction…!"

Fulangde carefully presented the Master's top ten martial soul competitiveness, stating that he is the strongest in the martial soul world's Martial Soul Theory and the wisest Soul Master.

When these were mentioned, Dai Mubai and the other trainees were stunned.

Although it sounded impressive, they were a bit confused.

Until Fulangde said that the Master is also Xiao Xian's and Tang San's teacher!

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were instantly shocked!

Their gazes burned as they stared over!

In their minds the same thought flashed simultaneously: this unremarkable middle‑aged man is actually Xiao Xian's teacher!

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also looked toward the Master.

Although their time together was brief, Xiao Xian's impact on them was immense.

His powerful Self‑Created Soul Technique, the world‑rare external Beast Martial Soul, and the strength of a Soul Elder at such a young age!

Even in the Star Dou Great Forest, he wielded his martial soul with ease, leisurely scouting and hunting Soul Beasts.

Even thousand‑year‑old Soul Beasts were slain on the spot!

Not to mention the three senior trainees.

Only they had seen the most genuine, most powerful Xiao Xian!

On the Grand Battle Soul Arena, that incomparable heroic bearing remains deeply etched in their minds to this day!

Behind Fulangde, the few teachers raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

Xiao Xian's teacher.

In their hearts, just those five words were enough to prove the Master's greatness.

After Fulangde finished his detailed introduction of the Master, he continued, "From today onward, the Master will have full responsibility for your instruction!"

The trainees, having been sufficiently persuaded, quickly nodded.

The other teachers behind Fulangde, of course, had no objections.

Previously they taught solely based on their own martial soul experience; now with such a formidable figure joining, they could not be more pleased.

Fulangde looked at everyone and nodded with satisfaction.

Finally, he looked at the Master and asked, "Xiao Gang, do you have any further additions?"

The Master nodded, his face as stiff as always.

He said calmly, "The academy has only the eight of you; to me, you are a single entity. From now on, I will devise targeted teaching methods, and aside from cooperation, I do not wish to hear any dissenting voices."

The Master's gaze swept over the eight, and his calm voice continued, "From today onward, you will no longer be divided into new and old trainees; you will receive completely unified instruction."

"Of course there's also the Ranking, Number One, Dai …"

Before the Master's voice finished, everyone simultaneously turned to Xiao Xian.

Number One naturally made them think of Heibao Yihau.

The Master paused; had they looked at someone else, he would have simply continued according to his original plan, ignoring their reaction.

But they looked at Xiao Xian…

"What, have you already had a Ranking before?" the Master asked calmly.

The group stared at each other, then looked at Xiao Xian and Tang San.

Since standing on the field, Xiao Xian kept his head down, eyes half‑closed, doing who knows what.

Seeing this, Tang San raised his hand, gave a slight smile, and said, "Master, there is something similar."

"Our code names in the Soul Battle arena happen to be Rankings, and we've been using them for a while."

"Senior brother's code is Black Robe No. 1, Oscar Black Robe No. 2, Dai Mubai Black Robe No. 3 …"

Tang San quickly recited everyone's Rankings.

Ma Hongjun is Number Four, he himself is Number Five, Xiao Wu Number Six, Zhu Zhuqing Number Seven, Ning Rongrong Number Eight.

The Master nodded, but frowned slightly; he couldn't discern any pattern.

"Ahem…!" Dai Mubai cleared his throat lightly, stepped forward, "Master, I have an unrefined suggestion."

The Master glanced at Dai Mubai, "Hmm, go ahead."

He demands absolute cooperation, but not a one‑man rule; matters beyond training can still be discussed.

Dai Mubai glanced at Xiao Xian, then excitedly said, "All our code names are Black Robe. Not long ago, in the Grand Battle Soul Arena, I heard an interesting theory."

"Those Soul Masters speculated that we are an organization called Black Robe."

"Within Black Robe Internal, a competitive mechanism is employed; Rankings aren't fixed—whoever is strongest becomes Black Robe No. 1!"

"Cough… I think we might be able to adopt this method!"

"Personally, I think this could effectively boost our cultivation motivation!"

Master's already stiff face became even stiffer; he slightly frowned and pondered for a moment.

The other trainees were also startled.

Dai Mubai's idea is to have them duel regularly?

Leaving the soul ring disparity aside, there are three Support Type Soul Masters here!

Zhao Wuji stood behind Fulangde, a teasing smile on his face.

Oscar gave Master a pitiful look, hoping he wouldn't agree; his number two role was going fine.

Xiao Wu was eager to try; she's a violent rabbit who has always liked fighting.

Zhu Zhuqing was also a bit intrigued; she joined Slake just to get stronger, stronger, and stronger!

Ning Rongrong pursed her lips, indifferent; she's a Support, originally number eight, with the lowest soul power, so it doesn't matter.

Tang San was also somewhat tempted; he's Tang San, why is he ranked fifth?

Even if he's not as good as senior brother or Dai Mubai, beating Oscar or Ma Hongjun wouldn't be hard, right?

Only Ma Hongjun muttered, "I knew it, violent maniac."

Master saw their reactions, glanced at the unflinching Xiao Xian behind him, and lightly nodded at Dai Mubai, "Your idea is good, I agree."

"Specific combat rules and Ranking method, I need to discuss them with Fulangde and the teachers."

"From today onward, publicly you are Slake's monsters. Secretly, you are the Black Robe Organization."

"As Dai Mubai said, within Black Robe Internal, strength is paramount, a competitive system is enforced, Rankings are not fixed; whoever is strongest becomes number one!"

"Today is a day off; you may disperse now, and gather here tomorrow at dawn."

The teachers left one after another, and Xiao Xian opened his half‑closed eyes.

He smiled lightly, looked at Tang San and the others, and said, "I have something to attend to, I'm leaving first."

Xiao Jue sprinted back from outside the academy.

Xiao Xian tapped his foot, flipped up, and sent Xiao Jue rushing toward the woods outside the academy.

Having obtained an external attached soul bone, of course it must be used.

Tang Hao would occasionally come over for a glance.

He intends to experiment with this external attached soul bone, to see if he can suppress its aura and fluctuations.

After all, the Soul Guide Device still contains a hundred‑thousand‑year one.
