Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed since Wu Changkong made his move!

I witnessed Wu Changkong's strength.

The students in Class 5 were exceptionally enthusiastic during training and practice, and there was not a single complaint.

As a result of such hard work, the overall quality of the students in Class 5 has been continuously improved.

As trainees who received special training from Wu Changkong, Zhao Tao, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin made rapid progress.

First, in terms of soul power level, after a month of training, the soul power of all four has improved compared to the past.

Among them, Zhao Tao and Gu Yue's soul power has increased by 2 levels, reaching level 19 and level 17 respectively.

As for Xie Xie and Tang Wulin, their soul power levels increased by 1 level each, reaching level 19 and level 12 respectively.

Besides their soul power, the four of them have also become increasingly coordinated and attuned to each other under Wu Changkong's practical training and guidance.

Under Zhao Tao's organization and command, a set of effective tactics were developed.

Having undergone specialized training and developed a comrade-in-arms relationship, the atmosphere in the four-person room became much more lively than before.

Especially Gu Yue, under Zhao Tao's deliberate care, has basically opened up.

She often smiled when talking to Zhao Tao.

Although we're still far from being lovers, we're already considered friends.

However, when facing Xie Xie and Tang Wulin, Gu Yue remained aloof, as if she were on a different level from them.

Of course, after spending this time together, Gu Yue's hostility towards humans has lessened considerably.

And finally, the time came for the promotion tournament to begin.

To avoid disrupting classes, the promotion competition will be held every afternoon after class.

To prepare for the start of the promotion tournament, a 100-meter-diameter arena was built on the playground of the intermediate department of Donghai Academy using heavy metal plates.

Around the arena, soul guide devices were installed to generate soul guide shields, preventing the aftershocks of the battle from affecting the academy.

When the bell rang, the students of Class 4 and Class 5 of Grade 1 arrived at the playground.

As for the other students watching the game, there weren't many, after all, this was just a competition for lower grades.

"Now, the first match of the promotion tournament officially begins, with Class 5 of Grade 1 challenging Class 4 of Grade 1!"

"Teacher Wu Changkong, please confirm the number of participants!"

Long Hengxu, acting as the referee, stepped onto the ring and announced the start of the match, his eyes filled with anticipation.

After all, he also wanted to know just how strong the students that Wu Changkong was protecting and nurturing were!

Three students from my class participated.

Upon hearing Long Hengxu's words, Wu Changkong replied calmly.

As Wu Changkong finished speaking, Zhao Tao, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie stepped onto the arena.

This decision to participate was the result of discussions among the four of them.

When facing the weakest enemy, give Tang Wulin, who is a substitute, a chance to play and experience the true battle spirit.

At the same time, it can also be seen as conserving some strength for the later matches.

"Galon, Lin Zunyuan, Moss, the three of you go!"

Seeing that Wu Changkong had already selected the contestants, Kong Hanwen, the homeroom teacher of Class 4, Grade 1, also sent his class's contestants.

"Fifty meters apart, ready, go!"

Seeing that both sides were ready, Long Hengxu gave the order to start the match.

The next moment, Zhao Tao, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin also pounced on their respective opponents.

The ensuing battle was, of course, a resounding victory.

Summoning the Time Burial Sword, Zhao Tao easily killed the opposing captain, Galon, a powerful attack-type Soul Master with the War Wolf Martial Soul, with a single strike.

The thousand-year soul ring he displayed instantly became the focus of the entire audience, drawing gasps of amazement!

As for Xie Xie and Tang Wulin's performances, they were equally impressive!

Holding the Light Dragon Dagger, Xie Xie moved swiftly, closing in on the opponent's support-type Soul Master, Lin Zunyuan, in almost a flash.

Faced with an agility-type Soul Master getting close, Lin Zunyuan, being a support-type Soul Master, was naturally powerless to fight back. He was struck by the end of the Light Dragon Dagger by Xie Xie and was subsequently eliminated.

Meanwhile, Moss, the last student in Class 4 of the first year, whose martial soul was also a dagger but whose soul power was only level thirteen, was targeted by Tang Wulin.

Although Tang Wulin's soul power level was not as high as Moss's, his battle was still overwhelming. He used the "Entangle" soul skill to bind Moss, and then finished him off with a punch.

The entire battle was utterly crushing; Zhao Tao and his two companions won in less than five seconds.

"Class 5 of Grade 1 wins! They advance to Class 4 of Grade 1 and will face Class 3 of Grade 1 tomorrow!"

Seeing this, Long Hengxu announced the results of the battle without hesitation.

"Yes, we won!"

Tang Wulin jumped up excitedly after winning the first battle.

In their usual combat training, even with the combined efforts of the four, Zhao Tao and the others were still easily suppressed by Wu Changkong.

At this moment, Tang Wulin finally tasted the sweetness of victory.

"Brother Tao, the dance instructor's training is incredibly effective!"

"Three months ago, I could have easily defeated my opponent, but it certainly wouldn't have been such an easy, one-hit kill!"

Xie Xie, standing to the side, was also filled with surprise and admiration for Wu Changkong.

"This is just the first battle, nothing to be proud of. Let's keep going!"

Looking at the excited Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, Zhao Tao simply smiled faintly.

If it were his first time traveling through time and defeating a powerful opponent, he might be as excited as Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.

But at this moment, Zhao Tao's heart was as still as water.

After all, he knew that his ultimate enemy in the future would definitely not be just a few Great Soul Masters.

Instead, it was the divine sense of Tang Hao and A Yin, who were the masters and cores of the plane, and Tang San, the sea god.

He needs to become stronger, and he must become stronger!

Only in this way can he achieve redemption for himself, for Na'er and Gu Yue, and even for the entire Douluo Continent!

......

Before we knew it, it was the afternoon of the next day.

The match against Class 3 of Grade 1 also started as scheduled!

According to the agreed tactics, Tang Wulin, who was a substitute, would not participate in the battle this time.

Gu Yue, Zhao Tao, and Xie Xie took turns stepping onto the arena.

As for their opponents, they are quite unique, being triplets who look almost identical – Gu Tianri, Gu Tianyue, and Gu Tianming!

Just like their appearance, all three of them also possess the Skyhawk, a bird-type martial spirit known for its speed and flight.

As Long Hengxu announced the start of the battle, the three of them simultaneously chose to possess their martial souls, and a pair of gray wings appeared on their backs almost at the same time before they took to the air.

"Zhao Tao, I admit your Class 5 is very strong, but we're in the sky, you can't attack us at all. Just wait for the challenge time to run out and then obediently admit defeat!"

Looking at Zhao Tao, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie on the ground, Gu Tianming, the leader of the three brothers, smiled smugly and began to mock them.
