Chapter 93

The next two weeks passed in a flash.

The members of the reserve team all went through a busy half month; during this time they not only had to study as usual, but also go to the Dou Hun Qu after school each day to spar, familiarizing themselves with each other's abilities, which suddenly increased their pressure.

However, the effect was also immediate; they now have a clear idea of each other's strength and abilities.

The strongest member of the Shilake Academy reserve team is actually the one who looks the weakest, Huo Yutong; if she uses her Spirit Eyes martial soul, that's fine, but once she switches to the Ice Sky Snow Girl offensive, it becomes extremely fierce—even Xu San Shi, the strongest in defense, can't last more than ten seconds against her, making her the opponent everyone least wants to face in battle.

By the end of training, they simply handed the task of dealing with her to Tang Wulin; after all, this kid's combat power is second strongest among them, and Huo Yutong in her Ice Sky Snow Girl state is unusually gentle only when facing him.

Speaking of Tang Wulin, although he is the youngest, he possesses the second-highest strength in the team; his terrifying physique gives him extremely strong close-combat ability, and the two soul skills from his soul bone give him a near‑monstrous burst of power—even the Soul Ancestors could do little against him. Only Xu San Shi, at the start, used the sneaky tactic of Dark Mysterious Substitution to jump out of the arena and scored an initial kill on him, but later he was ruthlessly retaliated against by Tang Wulin.

Among the Soul Ancestors, the worst off is Bei Bei; his strength was originally slightly greater than He Caitou's, and he was evenly matched with Xu San Shi, but because his dragon clan bloodline was countered by Tang Wulin, he loses instantly whenever he faces Tang Wulin, and now his win rate is even lower than He Caitou's.

As for the remaining two second‑year students, they're somewhat just making up the numbers—Wang Dong and Zhou Sichen are still too low in rank to intervene in Soul Ancestor‑level battles.

After this period of adjustment, the seven reserve team members understand each other better, and they are also curious about the composition of the main team.

Thus, after two weeks, they finally got to see the members of the Shilake Academy main team as they had wished.

After school, Xuanzi led the reserve team members into the Dou Hun Qu, where seven upperclassmen in red uniforms were waiting for them.

The red uniform is the inner courtyard's exclusive attire, clearly indicating that these people are the main team members of Shilake Academy.

After Xuanzi brought the reserve team members before the main team, he took a big gulp of liquor, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said:

"I believe you've already guessed each other's identities, so I won't elaborate further. Please introduce yourselves, starting with the reserve team."

Everyone glanced at each other, and finally the oldest, Bei Bei, stood up first.

"My name is Bei Bei, outer courtyard fifth‑year, rank forty‑two, assault‑system Soul Ancestor."

He Caitou stepped forward next.

"He Caitou, outer courtyard fourth‑year, rank four soul engineer."

As a soul engineer, he reported his soul engineer rank rather than his soul power level.

Xu San Shi stepped out lazily.

"Xu San Shi, outer courtyard fifth‑year, rank forty‑three, defense‑system Soul Ancestor."

In terms of soul power level, he is one rank higher than Bei Bei.

Fourth up was Zhou Sichen.

"Zhou Sichen, outer courtyard second‑year, rank thirty‑one, control‑system Soul Elder."

Upon hearing this, several members of the main team flashed a look of surprise.

Due to age, second‑year members rarely retain enough strength to survive the mass melee selection, making a reserve team member of his age a genuine rarity.

However, they didn't expect that after Zhou Sichen, all the remaining members would be second‑year students.

Huo Yutong followed closely behind Zhou Sichen, saying: "Huo Yutong, outer courtyard second‑year, rank thirty‑four, control‑system Soul Elder."

Because of the Snow Emperor's power, her soul power level is the highest among the second‑year students.

Wang Dong then stood up. "Wang Dong, outer courtyard second‑year, rank thirty‑one, assault‑system Soul Elder."

Finally, the last to speak was Tang Wulin.

"Tang Wulin, outer courtyard second‑year, rank twenty‑nine, assault‑system Soul Grandmaster."

After breaking through his second soul ring he reached rank twenty‑six, and the left leg bone of the Wind Dragon King from half a month ago gave him another push, leaving him just one step away from becoming a Soul Elder.

The expressions of the main team members turned strange.

"Rank twenty‑nine? That level has never appeared in the Shilake Academy reserve team before—it could be said to be a historic low."

Nevertheless, no one raised an objection, for in Shilake Academy actual combat is what matters most; as long as one is strong in battle, a low soul power level is no problem.

After the reserve team finished their self‑introductions, the main team began theirs.

"Inner courtyard, Dai Yaoheng, rank sixty‑four, assault‑system Soul Emperor."

"Inner courtyard, Chen Zifeng, rank fifty‑seven, assault‑system Soul King."

"Inner courtyard, Xi Xi, rank fifty‑six, agile‑attack system Soul King."

"Inner courtyard, Ling Luochen, rank fifty‑five, control‑system Soul King."

"Inner courtyard, Yao Haoxuan, rank fifty‑five, control‑assist system Soul King."

"Inner courtyard, Gongyang Mo, rank fifty‑nine, assist‑system Soul King."

"Inner courtyard, Zhang Zehao, rank five soul engineer."

Thus, the main team members have all completed their self‑introductions.

They all have reached at least Soul King level, and Dai Yaoheng is even a Soul Emperor‑level powerhouse; hearing this, the reserve team members stared blankly.

These past two weeks they had heard that Shilake Academy had maintained its championship position for a full ten thousand years in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, and now, hearing these self‑introductions, they instantly understood how that was achieved.

Before the age of twenty, other colleges might not even be able to gather a single Soul King‑level powerhouse, yet the Shilake Academy main team consists entirely of Soul Kings—how could they possibly lose?

Among the reserve team members, only Huo Yutong's focus was somewhat different.

The instant she heard Dai Yaoheng's name, she subconsciously glanced at the blond youth leading the main team, and coincidentally the youth also looked at her, a fleeting glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.

He was Dai Huabin's older brother, Dai Yaoheng, and one of her future targets for revenge.

As early as a year ago, Dai Yaoheng had heard the names of Huo Yutong and Tang Wulin because of Dai Huabin's matter, and naturally he would not have a good impression of the two.

However, he was much sharper than his useless brother; that flash of cold light merely appeared for an instant before he concealed it, so no one could notice.

Seeing that both sides had finished their self‑introductions, Xuanzi burped and said:

"Well, I believe you already have some understanding of each other, but that's not enough. In ten days, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will begin. I summoned you here so you can get to know each other better, ensuring that when you go on stage you won't make mistakes due to unfamiliarity."

"As for how to get acquainted, let's do it through a match. You'll be scrambled into two teams for a seven‑on‑seven team battle. As the saying goes, 'no fight, no acquaintance'; after two bouts you should know each other much better."
