Chapter 107 Reserve Team
Kong Xuan is not even thirteen years old yet. A twelve-year-old Soul King is unprecedented in Ren Jun's mind.
Kong Xuan's combat talent and cultivation speed are both top-notch. His previous strength has already constantly refreshed Ren Jun's understanding, but now that he has broken through to the Soul King level, Ren Jun can't help but be surprised.
Kong Xuan calmly replied, "Just a while ago."
Upon hearing this, Ren Jun suddenly realized that Kong Xuan had disappeared from the academy for more than half a month to obtain a spirit ring.
In fact, Kong Xuan only broke through yesterday, and he wouldn't let too many people know the secret of his ability to condense his own soul ring.
Looking at Kong Xuan, Ren Jun's expression kept changing, seemingly reflecting his inner struggle.
Ren Jun's feelings for Shrek Academy are now a mix of love, hate, or simply a sense of indifference; even he himself is unsure.
He suddenly felt a little afraid to meet the Shrek people, fearing they would call him a traitor.
But there was also a certain anticipation to see his students defeat Shrek Academy, thus proving how ridiculous Shrek Academy's pride was.
Seeing the struggle on his face, Kong Xuan said, "Teacher, most of the selected reserve team members are only fourth-level soul masters. I think that even if the students in our class are a little weaker in cultivation, they will not lose in a real fight."
Kong Xuan suddenly changed the subject, bringing Ren Jun back to his senses. He asked, "You want the students in your class to compete for spots on the reserve team?"
Kong Xuan replied, "That's right!"
"Even if they become members of the reserve team, they probably won't have many opportunities to play this year, and it's even less likely that they'll get to play in the match against Shrek Academy."
Ren Jun is from Shrek Academy and participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament more than a decade ago, so he naturally knows it very well.
Kong Xuan gave a strange smile: "That's not necessarily true, but it's good to broaden one's horizons."
He thought to himself, "Whether these reserve team members can even have a chance against Shrek Academy depends on the performance of a certain Grand Elder."
"good!"
Ren Jun thought for a moment and said, "I'll go talk to the dean and try to get you a chance."
Ren Jun was quite confident in the abilities of the students in his class. Whether they were Soul Masters or Soul Instructors, they could prove themselves by demonstrating their strength if they wanted a spot in the reserve team.
Ren Jun acted swiftly, gathering several students from the class the very next day.
Battlegrounds, Battleground No. 76.
Xu Wei leaned close to Kong Xuan and whispered, "Brother Xuan, what's the matter that the teacher called us here for?"
Kong Xuan glanced at him: "Good news!"
Not receiving a definite answer, Xu Wei didn't ask any further questions.
Based on his understanding of Kong Xuan, he knew that even if he asked, Kong Xuan wouldn't tell him, but it was clear that Kong Xuan knew the inside story.
Xu Wei glanced around. Besides himself and Kong Xuan, Kong Ling, Xu Tianyi, Gu Yuena, Shui Ling, and Huo Yuhao were also present.
There are seven people in total, which looks like the configuration of a proper seven-person Soul Master team.
For a moment, Xu Wei felt that there might be a team battle coming up.
He wasn't the only smart one; everyone except Xu Wei had similar suspicions in their minds.
Not long after everyone arrived, the class teacher, Ren Jun, led the group into the Soul Arena.
These people were dressed in the uniforms of the Soul Guidance Department and looked no older than them, but each of them wore a badge on their chest indicating their Soul Guidance Department level.
These people are at least Level 4 Soul Masters, which means they all have at least the cultivation level of a Level 4 Soul Master.
The two leading figures were recognized by everyone; they were the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Xiao Meng Hongchen, who frequently visited the Soul Master class to see Kong Xuan.
Walking at the back of the group, what caught their eye was a tall, elderly man.
He had a full beard and short white hair like steel needles, giving him a fierce look.
At that age, one would naturally be a teacher at the academy.
And everyone present recognized him: Ma Sheng, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, a titled Douluo and a level nine Soul Master!
Meanwhile, this Mr. Ma will also be the teacher leading the team to Xingluo next semester to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Competition.
When the two sides met, compared to the bewilderment in Xu Wei and his companions' eyes, these Soul Masters seemed to be filled with fighting spirit.
When they looked at the group of Soul Masters, their eyes were filled with hostility.
Clearly, they knew why they had come.
At this moment, Ren Jun stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament will be held next semester. This is the grandest and most important event on the entire continent, and all participants are genius soul masters under the age of twenty from various academies!"
"The people standing in front of you now are the reserve team members for this competition. None of them are over fifteen years old, including two Soul Kings and five Soul Masters."
Upon hearing Ren Jun's words, a look of pride appeared on the faces of the reserve team members.
Those who were selected were naturally geniuses who had distinguished themselves from all over the country.
Some of them even looked at Kong Xuan and the others with provocation, but unexpectedly, they did not see any shock on the faces of these Soul Master students. It was as if the Soul Masters who were not yet fifteen years old were nothing special.
And that is indeed the case; Kong Xuan, who has already become a Soul King, needs no further explanation.
Among the others, besides Huo Yuhao, Xu Wei, who has the lowest cultivation level, now has a soul power of level 37, and he is only twelve years old.
Becoming a Soul Master before the age of fifteen is practically a certainty.
Therefore, things that one can easily do are naturally not surprising.
Ren Jun glanced at Kong Xuan and the others and said, "I selected you from the class myself, and I think you are qualified to be reserve team members!"
"But whether you're qualified or not, it all comes down to your ability. Do you dare to play a match against the current reserve team?"
Judging solely from their cultivation levels, the reserve team led by Xiao Hongchen held an absolute advantage.
The two Soul Kings, in particular, put a lot of pressure on the Soul Master class.
However, with Kong Xuan, their class monitor who could challenge opponents with ease, they didn't feel that he was invincible. On the contrary, they were eager to try.
"What is there to be afraid of!"
Xu Tianyi, who was usually taciturn, was the first to speak.
As a martial arts fanatic, he has always been open to any activity that tests one's strength.
It was precisely because of his single-minded pursuit of excellence that his strength improved rapidly over four years.
Not only has his soul power surpassed others, but he is now at level thirty-nine.
He not only achieved his original goal, but also accomplished the second ring of the millennium.
Although the others didn't say anything, Ren Jun had already seen the answer in their eyes.
He turned to look at Ma Sheng, who was not far away, and asked, "Old Ma, how about a seven-on-seven match?"
Ma Sheng's gaze swept over the two teams, and his gruff voice rang out: "Then let's have a team battle..."
But before he could finish speaking, a voice suddenly rang out: "I disagree!"
