With the return of Xu Yang and Dugu Yan, their team's life continued its regular rhythm.
Cultivation, training, and crafting Soul Tools became a repetitive cycle.
However, Xu Yang didn't find it monotonous, except for the fact that Dugu Yan had inexplicably become a constant presence by his side.
Every time Xu Yang rested or crafted Soul Tools, Dugu Yan would sidle up to him, directly expressing her feelings without any pretense, which left Xu Yang, a single dog in two lifetimes who no longer believed in love, somewhat at a loss.
What was all this about?!
Helpless, Xu Yang could only pretend not to notice, allowing Dugu Yan to get close as long as it didn't affect him.
Later, during training, Yu Tianheng and the others noticed the abnormal Soul Power levels of Xu Yang and Dugu Yan, especially after seeing Xu Yang's exaggerated Soul Ring configuration, their mouths dropped wide enough to fit a ball.
They simply couldn't believe that someone could achieve a Ten Thousand Year third Soul Ring.
Even if one ate Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber as a meal, a Ten Thousand Year third Soul Ring was impossible. The Spiritual impact brought by a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast alone was something a quasi-Soul Elder couldn't withstand, especially since this quasi-Soul Elder had broken through from level twenty-three to level thirty in a short period, their Spiritual Power must be insufficient.
Of course, they also guessed that Xu Yang and Dugu Yan were definitely hiding something from them, otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have asked for leave around the same time, returned around the same time, and even broken through to the Soul Elder realm.
Coupled with the fact that Dugu Yan had been clinging to Xu Yang during this period, it further confirmed their guess.
Among the group, except for Osler, Yu Feng, and Ye Lingling, the other three had notified their families, preparing to investigate what the two had been doing during this time.
Not to mention the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, as one of the Upper Three Sects, they had sufficient power, while the Xuanming Sect behind the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers was only stronger than the Lower Four Sects, except for the absence of a Titled Douluo.
Xu Yang understood Yu Tianheng's thoughts, but he didn't stop him, nor was he worried. Even if he allowed people from these two sects to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, as long as they didn't have the concept of Immortal Herbs in their minds, they wouldn't be able to figure out the problem even if they racked their brains.
Moreover, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was guarded by Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo. The current Dugu Bo was not the original level ninety-one, but level ninety-three, and his Spirit was the Sub-Dragon Species Horned Dragon. Without a Super Douluo, it was impossible to enter.
The Titled Douluo of any force could not be easily moved, let alone a Super Douluo.
Didn't you see that there would always be a Super Douluo stationed in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, never leaving, for the safety of the sect.
Therefore, Yu Yuanzhen could not easily leave the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School. It was only possible for Yu Luomian, the Violet Lightning Douluo, but the current Yu Luomian was really not necessarily Dugu Bo's opponent.
Soon, two months passed in this monotonous academy life.
During this period, their future Royal Fighting Team, led by Qin Ming, had developed some tacit understanding, and they also had a certain understanding of each other.
"Your training together has been sufficient, and you won't get much improvement if you continue like this. So your next training will be actual combat, held in the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, competing in Soul Fighting matches with Soul Master teams from all over the Heaven Dou Empire to hone your team battle skills."
In the team's living room, Qin Ming sat in front of everyone, talking about the next arrangement.
"Teacher Qin Ming, will our opponents be Soul Elder teams or Great Soul Master teams?!" Osler raised his hand and asked.
"Among you, Yanzi and Xu Yang have reached level thirty Soul Elder, so the opponents you will face are Soul Elder teams!" Qin Ming said with a smile, not caring at all about the faces of Shi Mo and the others falling.
"How are we supposed to fight this?!" Osler clutched his head in a comical gesture.
Although it was a comical gesture, it was also their true thoughts. Their Soul Power was only at level twenty-three or twenty-four, not at the peak of Great Soul Master at level twenty-eight or twenty-nine, they simply couldn't compete with a Soul Elder who had one more Soul Skill.
"What?! Can you only fight Soul Masters of the same level? You must know that each Spirit Hall team is terrifyingly strong, with several Soul Masters in the team far exceeding your level."
Qin Ming frowned slightly and challenged in a cold voice.
"So what if they are Soul Elders?! We'll just fight!" Yu Tianheng stood up and said in a deep voice. As he spoke, he stared intently at Xu Yang, his eyes filled with stubbornness. He knew that if he didn't work hard, he might really not be able to catch up with Xu Yang, or even Dugu Yan.
And fighting beyond his level was the first step in his desperate cultivation.
Xu Yang simply smiled slightly, as if he didn't see the stubbornness in Yu Tianheng's eyes. He was naturally very interested in the Soul Fighting competition. It had been three years since he awakened his Spirit, and other than being abused by Ning Haiyan, he had only fought against Yu Tianheng and others. There hadn't been many battles with opponents of the same level, so he could take this opportunity to have a good fight.
With Yu Tianheng taking the lead, Shi Mo and the others naturally had no objections and expressed that there was no problem.
The rules of the Spirit Arena in each city of Douluo Continent are the same: first individual matches, then duo matches, and finally team matches. Each Soul Master can only participate in one match of each type per day.
The Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, as the Great Spirit Arena located in the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, is the most top-notch in the entire Douluo Continent. There are even Soul Emperor teams fighting here to amuse those nobles.
Of course, the prize money for the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena matches is also very high, often more than twice the amount of other Spirit Arenas.
Therefore, Soul Masters come here to fight in droves, with the aim of earning more.
"My arrangement for you is that you must participate in the team battle, and choose one of the individual and duo matches to participate in. Each person must participate every day."
In the hall of the Great Spirit Arena, Qin Ming looked at everyone and made arrangements.
Everyone had no objections to Qin Ming's arrangements and began to choose the events they would participate in.
First, Shi Mo and Shi Mo unhesitatingly chose to participate in the duo battle. The two are twins, their hearts are connected, and they cooperate tacitly. It is difficult to have opponents in the Great Soul Master stage when teaming up.
"Then I can only team up with Xu Yang. After all, we are the only two Soul Elders in the team!" Dugu Yan hugged Xu Yang's arm and said to the others with a smile.
Xu Yang struggled a few times, but failed. He had no choice but to let Dugu Yan hug him.
"Yanzi..." Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan with some resentment. She is a support Soul Master and doesn't have much combat power. She definitely can't participate in the individual competition, so she can only choose the duo competition, and the best candidate is Dugu Yan, her good friend.
It's just that she didn't expect that Yanzi, this thick-browed and big-eyed bestie, would betray her and choose to team up with that dog man.
"Lingling, don't look at me like that. I'm participating in the Soul Elder battle, so I really can't team up with you." Dugu Yan felt a little flustered by the look, her eyes dodged, and she replied with a smile.
Ye Lingling didn't speak, just stared straight at Dugu Yan.
