Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

"It's been two months. I wonder if they've made any progress. Let's go check on them."

"it is good."

As the leader of the Spirit Hall Academy team, Xie Yue always cared about the growth and progress of the entire team.

The Spirit Hall Academy is located in the heart of Spirit City, not far from the Papal Palace, and the two arrived at the academy quickly.

On the academy's training ground, passionate young people are training hard, sweating profusely.

They were either using their soul skills or engaging in physical training, each of them completely focused, as if trying to unleash their full potential.

When Xie Yue and Yan entered the training ground, the trainees immediately stopped what they were doing.

"Boss, Brother Yan, you're back."

Four young people excitedly gathered around, their faces beaming with smiles.

Xie Yue and Yan nodded in response.

Looking at these four familiar faces, Yan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

These four were their comrades-in-arms at the Spirit Hall Academy, and also their friends.

All four of them were selected from a large pool of trainees, and each one was outstanding, which is why they are called the Golden Generation.

Yan's memory contains all the information about the four of them.

The tall, slender boy was named Sun Chuantao, and he always gave people a sense of stability and reliability.

His martial soul, the Giant Ring Blade, is similar to Xie Yue's Moon Blade; both are offensive weapon martial souls.

Sun Chuantao's soul power has reached level 38, which is the highest level in the team besides Yan, Xie Yue and Hu Liena.

The slightly chubby one is Li Kai, who always has a smiling face. His martial soul is the Black Horned Boar, making him a strength-type soul master with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and his soul power is level 37.

The girl with delicate features and a petite figure is named Zhang Ping. Her Golden Swallow Martial Soul makes her like a fish in water on the battlefield. Her agile movements and unexpected attacks are her specialties. Her soul power is also level thirty-seven.

The other boy, who looked rather thin, was named Xu Yu. He was a support-type Soul Master with a Golden Scepter as his Martial Soul and a Soul Power of Level 36.

Among the seven members of the Spirit Hall team, Xu Yu has the lowest spirit power and the weakest combat strength, but he plays an irreplaceable role.

Because his martial soul is quite special, it can not only provide support and buffs to teammates, but also has a healing effect.

With his assistance, Xie Yue and Hu Liena were able to complete their Martial Soul Fusion Skill in a very short time, which was crucial in battle.

All four of them were older than the three heroes of the Spirit Hall, but none of them were yet twenty years old.

This is a world where the strong are respected, and Xie Yue, as their leader, is naturally addressed as "Boss".

Yan and Hu Liena were both younger than them, but their strength surpassed theirs, so they called them "Brother Yan" and "Sister Na".

Xie Yue smiled and said:

"During the two months I was away, did you all cultivate diligently?"

"Of course! Boss, look at me, I've lost two pounds." Li Kai said with a grin.

"Fatty, stop being so cheeky. How's your soul power improvement going?"

"Boss, I'm still level 37, but I'll be level 38 soon."

"Not bad, keep up the good work."

Xie Yue turned his gaze to the others and gave them instructions:

"Same for you."

"Got it, boss."

The group answered in unison.

Sun Chuantao suddenly asked:

"Boss, where's Sister Na?"

"She was kept by the Pope."

The group exchanged glances, knowing that the Pope's task for the three heroes was to break through level 40 and acquire their fourth spirit ring within three months.

"Don't overthink it. We came back after completing our mission. The Pope probably just wanted to chat with Nana."

"Ah."

Everyone knows that Hu Liena holds an important place in Bibi Dong's heart; Bibi Dong treats Hu Liena like her own daughter. Having not seen each other for two months, they naturally have a lot to talk about.

Xu Yu asked curiously:

"Boss, Brother Yan, you've both obtained your fourth spirit ring and reached the Spirit Master level. What level of spirit power do you have now?"

Xie Yue and Yan exchanged a smile, then replied:

“Nana and I hunted soul beasts that were around 5,000 years old, and our soul power increased by one and a half levels. We are now at level 41 and a half. Yan is different from us, so let him tell you himself.”

Upon hearing this, everyone's gazes turned to Yan, anticipating his response.

Yan smiled and said calmly:

"I hunted down a wounded Flying Fire Fox and forcibly absorbed its six-thousand-year-old soul ring, which increased my soul power by two levels. Now it is level forty-two."

"Level 42?!"

The group was somewhat surprised, as Yan's soul power had become the highest in their team.

"Brother Yan, you're amazing! You're already at level 42 at just seventeen!" Li Kai couldn't help but exclaim.

Yan said modestly:

"It's nothing. The three of us may have started at a slightly higher level than you, but as long as you work hard and find a method that suits you, you will catch up sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, the four looked at each other, all feeling somewhat incredulous.

They couldn't believe these words actually came from Yan's mouth.

Everyone knows that Yan is straightforward and has no bad intentions, but he is a bit flamboyant.

His soul power surpassed that of Xie Yue and Hu Liena, making him the highest in the team. This could have been a source of pride for Yan, but he remained humble and even encouraged everyone, something that would have been almost impossible in the past.

After carefully observing Yan, everyone noticed the change in his eyes.

He really doesn't seem as arrogant as before.

But he exuded an indescribable charm, seemingly more attractive than before.

"You don't need to be surprised, Yan has indeed changed. He is now completely immersed in cultivation. You don't know yet, but in the past two months, Yan not only obtained his fourth spirit ring, but also created a powerful killing move."

Xie Yue didn't intend to tell everyone that Yan had obtained an external soul bone; if they knew, they would be even more shocked.

"What kind of killing move?"

The group looked at Yan with great curiosity.

Before Yan could speak, Xie Yue grinned and spoke first:

"Yan, show everyone what you've got to do. I'll keep you company."

Everyone immediately understood what Xie Yue meant.

"Boss, do you want to spar with Brother Yan?"

Xie Yue nodded.

"Yan, how is it?"

"it is good."

Yan accepted Xie Yue's challenge, wanting to test his current strength.

Chapter 13: A Battle of Self-Created Soul Skills - Full Moon VS Fiery Sand Cage

Before this, Xie Yue and Yan had clashed many times.

Although their strengths were evenly matched, Xie Yue always emerged victorious in every contest.

However, Xie Yue knew perfectly well that it was not Yan's full strength.

He always felt that because Yan harbored deep feelings for his sister Hu Liena, he always held back in his battles against him, as if worried that going all out would damage his relationship with Hu Liena.

But now, Yan seems to have undergone some kind of transformation. He has become stronger, and not only that, his mind has also changed.

Xie Yue noticed this. He sensed that Yan no longer seemed to deliberately hold back in battles as he used to.

This filled Xie Yue with anticipation; he wanted to engage in a true contest with this new Yan.

The team members also felt the tension of the upcoming showdown, and they all stepped back, consciously making room for Xie Yue and Luo Yan to fight.

Just then, Hu Liena walked over gracefully.

"Sister Na, you're here!"

Li Kai greeted her warmly.

"Well, what's going on?"

Hu Liena looked at Xie Yue and Yan, who were standing in the center of the training field, preparing for their battle, with a puzzled expression.
