Chapter 95 Clique Exclusion? Quasi-Soul Emperor!
Qin Mu could completely understand their mentality.
After all, from their perspective, they had worked hard for several years just for this continent-wide high-level soul master elite competition.
Now that his spot has been snatched away by someone who was parachuted in, he is naturally very resentful.
But bound by orders from above, they had no choice but to accept their own position.
Even though Xie Yue and Yan knew how powerful he was, it was still difficult for them to change their stereotypes.
Actually, Li Kai was right about one thing.
An individual's strength is ultimately limited. In the end, this competition will test the teamwork and tacit understanding between teams.
However, there are exceptions, such as when an individual's strength is so great that it can rival that of a team.
Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, a glimmer of hope reappeared in Li Kai's eyes.
Not only Li Kai, but even Xie Yue's eyes lit up.
For Xie Yue, the identity of this captain was extremely important.
This time, their team has three five-ring Soul Kings!
This would have been impossible in a normal competition.
Even a team with just one Soul King is enough to put the entire team in the top three.
What's more, there are three Soul Kings among them.
In addition, the other four people are all above level 45.
Thus, in everyone's eyes, the championship of this competition was almost a sure thing.
However, if Xie Yue is the captain, then he will naturally receive more resources from the Spirit Hall in the future.
Conversely, if someone is just an ordinary team member, the difference in treatment between them and the captain is significant.
After all, to become the captain of a team, in addition to having the ability to be recognized by everyone, one also needs to have strong command skills and a good overall perspective.
Only in this way can we lead the team to the end and win the final championship.
"Are you serious? You're going to fight all four of us by yourself?"
Li Kai had also heard about some of Qin Mu's deeds.
According to his understanding, Qin Mu was already at level 46 two years ago.
With his talent, he will almost certainly reach the fifth ring within two years.
But what Qin Mu is proposing now is not a one-on-one fight, but rather that four of his teammates take on one of him!
These four individuals are not ordinary contestants, but rather core trainees carefully cultivated by the Spirit Hall.
Each person's strength is above level 45.
Even if the four of them joined forces, Xie Yue, who is now the captain, would not be a match for them.
We might even need to add Yan to have any chance of stopping them!
No matter how powerful Qin Mu is, can he possibly face four opponents of the same level at the same time?
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.
"Everyone here is an outstanding individual, a pillar of the Spirit Hall in the future."
"If I make a boast in front of you all and then fail to deliver, wouldn't I be slapping myself in the face?"
"With Senior Xie Yue as a witness, I believe you wouldn't think I would resort to any underhanded tricks, right?"
Qin Mu smiled, his smile brimming with confidence.
Seeing Qin Mu's arrogance, Xie Yue couldn't help but frown.
Although she desperately wanted Qin Mu to fail, she still reminded him, "Even if the four of them aren't as strong as a Soul King, they're not far off."
"In addition, after years of cooperation, even some of the teachers from the Sixth Ring Road in the academy have a hard time getting rid of them."
"Qin Mu, do you really want to do this?"
Qin Mu remained silent, his gaze fixed on Li Kai, awaiting his decision.
Seeing this, Hu Liena also wanted to offer some advice.
However, she still keenly sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere.
Although it wasn't obvious, everyone seemed to have an invisible aversion to Qin Mu.
Hu Liena considered it for a moment and thought that although Qin Mu was sometimes a bit flamboyant in his actions, he was usually very confident.
In addition, there was the miracle he created when facing Lin Hui before.
This time, Hu Liena chose to believe Qin Mu.
Perhaps, only after Qin Mu truly demonstrates his strength will they accept him!
Yan, standing to the side, chose to remain silent.
Ever since Qin Mu taught him a lesson, Yan had been thinking about getting revenge on Qin Mu.
But as time went on, the gap between Qin Mu and himself seemed to be widening.
Now that there's an opportunity to suppress Qin Mu, Yan couldn't be happier to step in himself.
But this time, he was smarter and didn't become the first to stick his neck out.
"Alright! In that case, I'd like to experience the strength of Qin Mu, the number one genius of the Spirit Hall Academy!"
Li Kai didn't hesitate for long and immediately agreed.
After all, this competition was a sure-fire way for him to make money.
Because of the intervention of higher-ups, his status as a formal team member no longer belonged to him.
If he loses, he'll at most get a beating; otherwise, he won't lose anything.
If he wins, he might actually be able to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament again as a formal team member.
In the future, I will rise to great heights and become a pillar of the Spirit Hall!
While he was thinking, Li Kai had already walked to one side of the competition stage.
At the same time, Zhang Ping and the other two did not speak, but they stood with Li Kai in perfect unison.
Xie Yue and the other two tactfully left the arena.
Seeing this, Qin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
"As expected, although it was an arrangement made by higher-ups, they still preferred him to leave!"
"In that case, I should demonstrate my strength even more and convince them!"
Qin Mu slowly walked to one side of the competition stage, his right hand already holding the pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer in his palm.
With the appearance of the Clear Sky Hammer, five spirit rings slowly appeared on Qin Mu's body.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black.
Five spirit rings, exceeding the optimal ratio, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
Although it was expected, everyone still couldn't help but gasp when Qin Mu actually released five spirit rings.
Unlike Hu Liena and the other two, Qin Mu is only seventeen years old!
A quasi-Soul Emperor at the age of seventeen—there is probably only one like him in the entire Douluo Continent!
However, Li Kai and his three companions did not lose their fighting spirit; instead, they all released their martial spirits.
"Qin Mu, a level 60 offensive-type quasi-Soul Emperor, please enlighten me, senior students!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present froze as if they had been stared at, and the scene fell into a deathly silence.
According to Li Kai and the others' guesses, no matter how talented Qin Mu is, his current soul power should be around level 51 or 52.
After all, Qin Mu is only seventeen years old, and to possess such soul power is already unprecedented and unparalleled.
But when they heard that Qin Mu's soul power was level sixty, Li Kai and the other three paused in their actions.
If Qin Mu is just a newly promoted Soul King, then they are 80% confident of defeating him.
But Qin Mu in front of me is a quasi-Soul Emperor with a Soul Power level of 60!
