Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 28 Selection Competition (Part 3)

Lin Yizhang pulled Ye Lingling to a chair and asked, "Lingling, what brings you here?"

Ye Lingling said, "Our support-type Soul Master competition is very simple. The judges will directly evaluate our support abilities to determine the rankings. I have already been selected."

Lin Yizhang nodded knowingly; there was indeed no comparison between support-type Soul Masters.

Just then, Lin Yizhang saw three elderly men walking towards him.

These three elderly men were none other than Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin, the three members of the college's teaching committee.

Lin Yizhang and Ye Lingling quickly stood up and bowed.

Meng Shenji waved his hand and said, "Young friend, what's your name? I just watched your battle with Yu Tianheng, and you did very well."

Lin Yizhang replied, "This junior, Lin Yizhang, was introduced to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy last semester by Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo."

The three education committee members, including Meng Shenji, were taken aback when they heard the name Poison Douluo.

They only knew Dugu Yan, but had never heard of Lin Yizhang.

Lin Yizhang mentioned the name of the Poison Douluo to let them know that he also had some connection with important figures, which would make it easier to talk to them in the future.

Meng Shenji laughed and said, "I see. I think you are quite strong, young friend."

With you and Yu Tianheng by our side, I believe that our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy has a good chance of winning the next Soul Master Elite Tournament.

Once you become a member of the team, the academy will allocate more cultivation resources to you.

I hope you will cultivate diligently and bring glory to the academy in the future.

Lin Yizhang said, "Thank you for your guidance, Education Commission, but I have something I would like to discuss with the three members of the Education Commission."

"Oh, what is it? Please speak freely, young friend," Meng Shenji said.

"After Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and I decided to secure a spot in Team One, we'd parachute into Team Two," Lin Yizhang said.

The three education commissioners were all taken aback when they heard this.

Zhilin Education Committee member was the first to ask, "The three of you are all top-tier in terms of strength."

If joining the first team guarantees a spot in the finals, why would you choose the second team?

Moreover, the second team's strength is significantly different from that of the first team.

Even with the addition of the three of you, the second team might not necessarily qualify for the Tiandou Division.

Not to mention making it to the finals. You guys better think this through.

The Pan-Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament is your best chance to make a name for yourself throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

You must not act impulsively.

Lin Yizhang said, "Thank you for the reminder from the Education Commission, but the three of us have already made up our minds."

We Soul Masters have nothing to fear in a battle. We believe we can lead Team Two to defeat all our opponents.

They made their way to the finals step by step.

Meng Shenji said, "I think your strength is still a bit questionable."

Based on the information of the participants from previous years, the teams that qualify for the Tiandou Division each year are...

Among their seven main members, at least four to five are Soul Masters, and there are even high-level Soul Masters. Your second team...

Sigh, you should not be too blindly confident. There are quite a few genius soul masters in the empire.

I still advise you to stay on the first team; that way, your chances of winning the championship will be much greater.

Although if the three of you can secure a spot in the first team, you can decide whether or not to go to the second team.

However, our Heavenly Dou Empire has not won the championship in several tournaments.

I hope you can all stay on the team and bring glory to our nation in the future.

Lin Yizhang said, "I know the three education committee members are also under a lot of pressure. How about this?"

The competition will not begin for another four years. Three years later, we will lead Team Two to compete against Team One.

If our second team loses, the three of us will then follow the Education Commission's arrangements to decide whether to merge into the first team.

Having a year is enough time for us to integrate into the team.

But if our second team wins, we hope the Education Commission will agree with our opinion.

If our second team can beat the first team, it proves that our second team also has the strength to enter the finals.

That will ensure that both teams from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy can advance to the finals.

Even if the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy doesn't win the championship, it won't be a disgrace.

That way, the three education commissioners won't be under too much pressure, okay?

The three education commissioners exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement.

After the three education commissioners left.

Ye Lingling chuckled, "I was worried that our ideas wouldn't pass the test of the three education committee members, but you managed to get them through with just a few words."

Lin Yizhang chuckled and said, "That's right, I'm a clever and witty young man."

The three education commissioners were simply worried about what would happen to the three of us after we left the team.

This resulted in a significant loss of strength for one team, making it impossible for them to compete for the championship.

They didn't expect the second team to make it to the finals.

Ultimately, this resulted in the academy achieving such poor results that they were punished by the Heavenly Dou Royal Family.

What I just said can ensure that the college achieves good results.

Of course they wouldn't refuse.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the referee went up on stage again to ask if anyone else wanted to challenge Yu Tianheng.

The result was predictable: no one dared to accept the challenge anymore.

Given his outstanding performance, the judges let him go second.

Lin Yizhang jumped onto the ring and challenged everyone.

His own level 27 soul power did not deter others from challenging him.

Even though he had just demonstrated considerable strength in his battle with Yu Tianheng.

After several Soul Masters took to the stage to challenge, Lin Yizhang successfully secured the second spot.

After stepping down from the stage, he planned to go with Ye Lingling to the nearby Soul Fighting Arena to check on Dugu Yan's situation.

I didn't expect to run into her as soon as I stepped out.

"Yanyan, did you make the cut?" Lin Yizhang asked.

Dugu Yan nodded and said, "My third soul skill is extremely powerful, so I dare not use it lightly."

So I only used the first two soul skills to fight them.

Therefore, it took a bit longer.

"Okay, Ye Lingling and I have also sorted it out. We just met with three members of the Education Commission."

I told them about our plan to airdrop the second team.

Finally, we agreed that three years later, we would lead Team Two to have a battle of wits against Team One.

"Only if we win will the Education Commission approve our actual transfer to the second team," Lin Yizhang said.

"We still have three years, so let's work hard to cultivate."

"We'll strive to reach the Soul Master level, and then we'll definitely be able to defeat Team Two," Dugu Yan said confidently.

After forcing the toxins into the Eight Spider Spears, Dugu Yan felt that her cultivation speed had increased significantly.

Unaffected by the flaws in her martial soul, she became even more dedicated to cultivation.

Feeling inspired by Dugu Yan's positive attitude, Lin Yizhang and Ye Lingling were also full of energy.

Lin Yizhang is eager to break through to level 30 as soon as possible, given his current soul power level of 27.

He sometimes thought about having Dugu Bo take him to his herbal medicine shop.

That way, I can quickly become a Soul Master by absorbing immortal herbs.

But Lin Yizhang couldn't think of a reason to tell Dugu Bo.

After all, Dugu Bo is still suffering from the poison, so he probably won't easily take outsiders to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye can suppress the toxins in his body, which is his life-saving place.

He wouldn't have taken himself there without a reasonable reason.

Although Dugu Bo did not recognize those herbs, he knew they were extraordinary.

It would be troublesome if I was in such a hurry that Dugu Bo mistakenly thought I was after his herbs.

After much thought, Lin Yizhang decided it would be better to wait until he could help Dugu Bo detoxify and gain his absolute trust before going to him.

With a level three soul power, you only need to cultivate for about eight more months.

Moreover, breaking through the level 30 barrier through self-cultivation would likely be beneficial to oneself.
