Douluo: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 19: The Team's First Mission

As the team leader, Xie Yue reported the team's list to the academy. After the academy reviews and approves it, they will be assigned tasks.

Ye Jingqiu didn’t think it was her illusion. Shen Qingqing always seemed particularly...respectful when facing her?
This feeling reached its peak now that they were alone together.

After dinner in the evening, Hu Liena followed Xie Yue away, leaving only Ye Jingqiu and Shen Qingqing to go to the dormitory.

Ye Jingqiu didn't look away, but even so she could still clearly feel that Shen Qingqing was staring at her. It was different from the malicious look in her eyes. In short, it was a very strange feeling.

She coughed lightly, trying to remind Shen Qingqing to be more restrained, but who would have thought that instead of restraining herself, the latter moved one step closer to Ye Jingqiu.

She turned sideways somewhat uncomfortably.

Shen Qingqing lowered her voice and said respectfully, "Shen Qingqing greets the Saint."

Ye Jingqiu suddenly stopped and turned to look at Shen Qingqing. As she guessed, this Shen Qingqing was the agile attack soul master that Bibi Dong mentioned.

She turned her head and looked around. The sky was filled with stars. Everyone was busy walking towards the finish line and no one paid any attention to the two of them.

Ye Jingqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't call me that in the Spirit Hall Academy from now on. No one here knows my identity."

Shen Qingqing quickly covered her mouth and chuckled, "I understand, I understand. I hide my identity, understand the people's feelings, and have fun with the people. Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense."

Ye Jingqiu frowned slightly and looked at Shen Qingqing. What words were being used?

"Did His Holiness the Pope ask you to join our team?" Ye Jingqiu asked curiously.

Shen Qingqing smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I told you, but you can't tell my master."

Ye Jingqiu raised her eyebrows slightly. Isn’t her master a ghost?
Then she nodded.

Shen Qingqing said, "Let me state in advance that this isn't eavesdropping. I overheard my master and Elder Ju gossiping one day and heard them say that you were at the Spirit Hall Academy and were forming a team."

After a pause, Shen Qingqing smiled shyly, "I wanted to join your team, so I asked Elder Ju a few questions indirectly. Coincidentally, after arriving at the academy, I was assigned to your class, so I recommended myself to the captain."

As for why she asked Yue Guan indirectly, it was because Shen Qingqing knew her master too well. He usually spoke less than three serious words to her in a day, let alone these gossips.

Ye Jingqiu didn't think much of it after hearing this. "Since we've joined the team, we're teammates now. You don't have to worry about my identity. Just call me by my name and we can get along normally."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing's eyes brightened, "I understand, Saint..."

Shen Qingqing reacted immediately and quickly changed her words, "Qiuqiu——"

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly, and the two of them walked towards the dormitory together.

……

I have to say that the efficiency of the Spirit Hall Academy is really high.

However, the team's application was approved within one day, and the academy immediately assigned the team their first mission.

Upon hearing the news, Xie Yue immediately called everyone into the small conference room. When Yan saw the task list, he frowned in disdain, "Team Tianyi? Could you come up with a worse name?"

Song Liyang shouted, "One day, one day, the best in the world!"

Now Yan looked at Song Liyang with great disgust, and Ye Jingqiu took the task list from Song Liyang's hand.

The first mission of the Tianyi team: follow two students from the Plastic Level Class 5 to the Beast Hunting Forest to hunt for the second soul ring.

Ye Jingqiu frowned slightly and said, "Aren't all the soul beasts kept in the Beast Hunting Forest low-level?"

Xie Yue looked at Ye Jingqiu in confusion. "The soul beasts in the Beast Hunting Forest are all captives of the two empires. Although their levels are low, the first two soul rings we need are only hundred-year soul rings. The soul beasts in the Beast Hunting Forest are more than enough for us."

"Although the soul beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest are of high level, they are also more dangerous. According to the academy's management, there will be a Soul Sect-level instructor leading the hunting team in the forest this time. However, he will not take action unless he encounters a thousand-year-old soul beast."

"There are very few thousand-year soul rings kept in captivity in the Beast Hunting Forest. They only allow us to broaden our horizons, face soul beasts in advance, and prepare us for hunting for the second soul ring in the future."

Ye Jingqiu nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. When she hunted for her first soul ring, she went to the Star Dou Great Forest. Bibi Dong only mentioned the things in the hunting forest casually, so she didn't know much about it.

"How come someone has reached level 20 after only three months of school?" Ye Jingqiu couldn't help but ask.

Xie Yue smiled knowingly upon hearing this. "You just arrived and didn't know this, but we have four classes of freshmen: Plastics Class 1, 2, 3, and 4. The next two classes, Class 5 and Class 6, are for those who entered this year but didn't reach Level 20 and were promoted to Black Iron Class."

Ye Jingqiu said thoughtfully, "Does that mean that as long as they successfully obtain the second spirit ring in the Beast Hunting Forest this time, they can advance to the Black Iron level?"

Xie Yue shook his head. "This is time-limited. If you can't reach level 20 and obtain a second spirit ring within three months of the start of school, you can only wait until the end of the second school year to advance to the Black Iron level."

Song Liyang said with a surprised look on his face, "So they will reach the Black Iron level with us in the future?"

Yan said seriously, "It's hard to say. We might not be able to reach the Black Iron level next year."

Hu Liena shook her head and said, "It's unlikely. The students in Class One and Class Two are the most talented." After a pause, Hu Liena's gaze fell on Lu Si'en. "If Lu Si'en wasn't a support-type spirit master, he would probably be in Class One."

Just as Hu Liena said, all the soul masters in Class One are from the Control, Power Attack, and Agility Attack departments. The remaining Soul Masters from the Auxiliary, Food, and Defense departments are all assigned to Class Two and onwards.

Song Liyang nodded thoughtfully, "I was saying that when school started, I noticed that your class didn't have any support-type spirit masters or defense-type spirit masters. So that's how it is."

Song Liyang was obviously in a low mood.

Ye Jingqiu observed this and said, "Perhaps individually, support-type spirit masters, defense-type spirit masters, and food-type spirit masters may be a little weaker in combat, but they are all indispensable to a team."

"By providing buffs, defense, healing, and recovery, you greatly enhance the combat effectiveness and survivability of the entire team. You are very important."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Si'en suddenly looked up at Ye Jingqiu, as if he had heard some unbelievable news.

Ye Jingqiu was stunned, and nodded at Lu Sien with a slight smile on his lips.
