After he finished speaking, a brief silence fell around the long table.
The girls looked at each other in bewilderment.
Their hearts were indeed filled with all sorts of questions.
About this team, about this mysterious young captain, and the titled Douluo seniors around him.
It also concerns the unknown future that awaits them.
My friends all seemed to have something to say, but also a little nervous.
Dongfang Yao wanted to start something, so she was the first to break the silence.
She raised her hand, like a student actively participating in class.
"Captain! We're going to be a team from now on, shouldn't we come up with a catchy and awesome name?"
Dongfang Jing glanced at her, but slowly shook his head.
"Dean Edmund has given us many preferential treatments, including food, accommodation, and a good training environment."
"What he wants is simply for Purple Star Academy to make a name for itself in this Soul Master Competition."
"So our team is called Purple Star Academy Team."
With Dongfang Yao taking the lead, the other girls also loosened up a bit.
Zhu Zhuqing, who had been silent all along, raised her eyes and looked at Dongfang Jing.
"Brother Jing, who will be responsible for guiding our cultivation from now on?"
What she cares about most is strength, and the methods to become stronger.
"I."
Dongfang Jing's answer was simple and direct: "I will take charge of all your training."
"Master, Sister Xue'er and the others will only offer you reasonable advice when necessary."
Hearing this, the girls present showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever.
A level 64 Soul Emperor who is not even sixteen years old.
This talent and this strength are enough to convince them all.
Moreover, his composure and wisdom, far beyond that of his peers, made them instinctively willing to listen to him.
Dongfang Jing's strength and character are undeniable.
If he were to teach us, we might actually reap unexpected rewards.
"What about the training courses and the venues?" Ye Lingling asked softly, her voice tinged with curiosity.
"You don't need to worry about the venue. There's no need to compete with other students in the academy for a place to practice simulation. I have a better way, and I'll take care of everything tonight."
Dongfang Jing's answer remained calm.
But his expression suddenly turned serious.
"But there is a prerequisite before that."
The boy's sharp gaze slowly swept over the group of girls.
Finally, he lingered a little longer on Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu.
"All of you must swear an oath with your martial spirit."
"From now on, we will never reveal anything that happened at Purple Star Academy to anyone other than members of this team."
"Including your friends, parents, and elders in your respective families."
The atmosphere instantly became tense upon hearing this.
There was clearly no threat in Dongfang Jing's words.
These girls, however, inexplicably felt an irresistible weight.
It seems... anyone who dares to disobey will be punished by heaven!
Dongfang Jing's gaze swept across the faces of the girls one by one.
He didn't know much about Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing.
But judging from their personalities, they don't seem like the type of girls who like to talk too much.
What truly worried him were Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Xiao Wu.
Ning Rongrong is backed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Dugu Yan's grandfather was Dugu Bo.
As for Xiao Wu... she still had Tang San on her mind.
Although Dongfang Jing was not afraid of any of these people.
But he didn't want to attract unnecessary trouble.
He didn't make any absolute statements or point out the consequences of breaking his oath.
But that invisible pressure made all the girls present tense up.
"Anyone who doesn't want to can leave now," Dongfang Jing added as a final remark.
Almost the instant his words fell.
Brigitte, who had been smiling silently, softened her gentle smile slightly, and her fingers holding the teacup paused slightly.
Sitting beside her, Ah Yin still had that gentle, motherly demeanor. But her gaze towards the girls held a deeper intensity.
As for the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, they didn't even bother to pretend.
The air temperature around Xue Di plummeted, and Bing Di's orange-gold eyes revealed undisguised scrutiny and warning.
That feeling couldn't be clearer.
They were telling these younger generation members not to think they could get away with this now, because if they dared to break their oath and reveal what happened here, they would definitely not have a good ending!
An indescribable sense of oppression enveloped the entire living room.
The girls then suddenly realized what was happening.
These were the seniors who had chatted with them pleasantly and were very kind.
Actually, I'm not familiar with them at all!
The older generation only focused on Dongfang Jing.
The kindness of the seniors was only because of Dongfang Jing!
If they dare to do anything that harms the interests of Dongfangjing, the consequences will be unimaginable.
This made the girls even more curious about the boy's mystery.
They finally understood that the cultivation they were about to begin might allow them to undergo a complete transformation and achieve a leap in strength.
But behind this power must lie some earth-shattering secrets that absolutely cannot be known to outsiders!
In deathly silence.
Zhu Zhuqing was the first to stand up.
Without any hesitation, she raised her right hand, her expression solemn, and became the first to swear an oath with her martial spirit.
"I, Zhu Zhuqing, swear by my martial soul, the Netherworld Cat, that from this moment forward, I will never reveal anything that happened within the Purple Star Academy to anyone outside of this team. If I break this oath, may my martial soul shatter, and I be unable to cultivate for the rest of my life! May I die and my cultivation vanish!"
For her, this was the only chance to break free from family constraints and change her destiny.
Even if it meant paying a much higher price, let alone just swearing to keep it a secret, she would be willing to do it.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Lingling also stood up.
She took a deep breath and solemnly swore the same oath.
She believed in Dongfang Yao and was willing to believe in this amazing young man.
Immediately afterwards, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Xiao Wu also made their vows.
They weren't stupid; they all understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Seeing that everyone had made their vows, Dongfang Jing nodded in satisfaction.
The oppressive atmosphere in the living room dissipated.
He stood up and continued, "The cultivation of a Soul Master can be generally divided into three parts: meditation, theory, and practical combat."
"When it comes to meditating on your soul power, you can arrange it according to your own condition and circumstances."
"Starting next week, my master, Biji, will teach you theoretical knowledge about soul beasts, martial souls, and the history of the continent every Friday."
"I will be in charge of the daily physical training and combat training. Of course, you can also try to challenge Sister Yin and the others."
Upon hearing this, the women shook their heads vigorously.
Fighting a Title Douluo? Are you kidding me?
The atmosphere became lively again.
After answering several questions from the girls, Dongfang Jing smiled and looked around, finally fixing his gaze on the clock on the wall.
"That concludes today's meeting. You will learn about the specific task arrangements tomorrow."
