Chapter 254 Despair
“Why not?” Ling Han said calmly. “The rules only restrict age, not status or strength. Besides, my current age is ‘just’ in line with the requirements.”

Qi Xue immediately understood Ling Han's meaning. Ling Han's apparent soul power was only level 46, which was already a monster among his peers, and he was not yet 25 years old, still within the threshold for the competition.

As for true combat strength... that's something the rules can't measure at all. The Pavilion Master is going to personally take to the field, turning this tournament into the perfect stage for the Beast God Pavilion to make a name for itself and to strike at the Spirit Hall!
"Then...the team members?" Qi Xue asked tentatively. She already had a vague guess in her mind.

A sharp glint flashed in Ling Han's eyes as he rattled off a series of names: "Tang Ya, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Xiao, and Hu Yanli."

"As for backup candidates, Feng Bailong's son Feng Ming and Tuoba Xi's son Tuoba Xi will be selected. The remaining backup candidates for the Holy Radiance Dragon Emperor Academy and the Dragon Emperor Branch will be randomly selected from the Beast God Pavilion."

He paused, then added, his tone carrying an absolute sense of control: "But I will never take action unless absolutely necessary."

Even though Qi Xue was somewhat prepared, upon hearing the list and Ling Han's additions, she couldn't help but gasp, her mind racing through the information of these members:

Tang Ya, a level 66 control-type battle spirit emperor, with the Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit and six black spirit rings!

Dugu Yan, a level 48 control-type battle spirit master, with the martial spirit Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor and two yellow and two purple spirit rings.

Ye Lingling, a level 43 healing-type weapon spirit master, with the Nine-Hearted Begonia martial spirit and two yellow and two purple spirit rings.

Ning Rongrong, a level 48 support-type weapon spirit master, possesses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as her martial spirit and two yellow and two purple spirit rings.

Xiao Xiao, a level 66 control/defense type Battle Soul Emperor, possesses twin martial souls: Nine Phoenixes Come to Court and Three Lives Suppressing Soul Cauldron, and twelve black soul rings!

Hu Yanli, a level 52 offensive type battle spirit king, with the martial spirit Diamond Mammoth and spirit rings of two yellow, two purple and one black.

Add to that Ling Han, the Pavilion Master, whose soul power is "only" level 46, but whose true combat strength is unfathomable and who has four red soul rings (including one blue-gold one)!

This lineup... Qi Xue couldn't even imagine the enormous impact and shock it would bring to the entire Soul Master world when the Pavilion Master and the others displayed their strength on the field!
Twin Martial Soul Emperors, Blue Silver Emperor Soul Emperors, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas, Nine Heart Begonias... These are beings whose mere appearance would cause a sensation on any given day, yet they have all gathered in one team!
This doesn't seem like going to participate in a competition anymore; it's practically going to a one-sided, crushing battle!

As Ling Han said, apart from the two Soul Emperors, Xiao Xiao and Tang Ya, as well as Ning Rongrong with top-notch support abilities and Ye Lingling with absolute healing abilities that make it impossible for her to die, Hu Yanli and the others, including the few candidates, will probably be more focused on training and getting a feel for the atmosphere in the real battle.

"Understood!" Qi Xue suppressed her shock and replied respectfully, "I will immediately convey the message to the ladies and Hu Yanli, and begin the registration process for the competition."

"Go ahead." Ling Han waved his hand.

Qi Xue bowed and stepped back, her steps quickening slightly. She could almost foresee the unprecedented storm that Wuhun City would face a month later.

The news quickly reached the ears of those involved.

…………

Inside the core area of ​​the Beast God Pavilion, in the exclusive mimicry training ground.

Wang Dong'er stood to the side, watching Xiao Xiao demonstrate the Nine Phoenixes' Arrival Flute with great interest. Wang Qiu'er stood beside her with her arms crossed, her eyes filled with a hint of scrutiny and approval. Ye Guyi sat in meditation not far away, surrounded by holy light, seemingly trying to break through that bottleneck. When Qi Xue told them about Ling Han's decision, Wang Dong'er was first taken aback, then pouted, her pink-blue eyes filled with confusion and a hint of grievance: "Ah? My husband is going to lead the team to participate in the competition?"

"Why didn't you take me, Sister Qiu'er, and Sister Gu Yi with you? We're definitely much better than those people!" She was referring to Tang Ya and the others.

Although Wang Qiu'er didn't speak, her golden eyes looked at Qi Xue with a questioning gaze. Ye Guyi also slowly opened her eyes.

Qi Xue quickly explained, "Miss Dong'er, Miss Qiu'er, Miss Gu Yi, the Pavilion Master does not think that the three of you are lacking in strength."

"On the contrary, it is precisely because the three of you are so exceptionally strong that the Pavilion Master has made other arrangements. The Pavilion Master's intention is that this competition is more about showcasing the strength and potential of the younger generation of our Beast God Pavilion to the mainland. The three young ladies, as the top combat force of our Pavilion, are the pillars of our strength."

"Besides, with the strength of the three of you participating in this kind of competition, it is indeed a bit... well, too eye-catching."

She phrased it rather tactfully, but her meaning was clear: Wang Dong'er and her two companions were too strong, and it would be unfair for them to participate in the competition.

Hearing this, Wang Dong'er was still a little upset, but after thinking about it, she realized it made sense, so she muttered, "Okay, okay, then we'll cheer for our husband from down here."

Wang Qiu'er nodded slightly, accepting the explanation. Ye Guyi also closed her eyes again and continued meditating.

Xiao Xiao blinked her bright eyes, a hint of curiosity and eagerness in them: "This is my first time participating in this kind of competition. It sounds very interesting. My martial soul should be able to help, right?" She was very confident in the abilities of her twin martial souls.

Meanwhile, Tang Ya, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and Hu Yanli, who was named, also received the news one after another.

Tang Ya was cultivating when she heard the news, and a resolute look appeared on her gentle face.

She knew this was the Pavilion Master's trust in her and a test. "Xiao Ya will certainly live up to the Pavilion Master's expectations," she murmured to herself, her aura of blue silver emperor surging forth.

Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling were studying the combination of support and treatment when they heard the news. A hint of excitement flashed in Ning Rongrong's bright eyes: "Finally, we can go out for a walk! And in Wuhun City!"

"Lingling, we must show everyone what true top-tier support and healing are!" Ye Lingling remained aloof, but nodded slightly, a hint of fighting spirit in her eyes.

When Dugu Yan heard that she had been selected, a hint of ruthlessness and pleasure flashed in her bewitching green eyes.

The Spirit Hall… she remembered it very clearly; her grandfather, Dugu Bo, had suffered a lot of humiliation there. “This time, I’m going to give you a ‘surprise.’” She licked her lips, like a venomous snake poised to strike.

Hu Yanli was flattered and surprised. He did not expect to be selected. Although he might only be a substitute, it was enough to make him extremely excited. He secretly made up his mind to do his best to perform.

Soon, all the members who had been named were summoned to Ling Han's presence.
