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

Chapter 88 Gathering

As the sun set, its afterglow bathed the city gates of Tianshui City, turning them a golden hue that was incredibly beautiful. Several luxurious carriages were just entering Tianshui City through the gates, carrying Lin Yizhang and his entourage.

It was getting late, so the group found a luxurious hotel to stay in.

The sparring match between the four elemental academies will be tomorrow morning, which is just the right time for Lin Yizhang and the others to get some rest for the night.

"Yi Zhang, we'll need to go on stage tomorrow, right? The elite soul masters trained by the Four Elements Academy are not to be underestimated. Lin Yan and the other seven alone probably won't have much hope of winning." In Lin Yi Zhang's room, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Lin Yi Zhang were enjoying tea and chatting. The speaker was Dugu Yan.

"Well, I plan to have you replace Lin Yirong and take the main control role; then I'll replace Huang Shenyu and take the main attack role. Lingling, you and Zhang Fan don't need to play for now. On one hand, Yan Yan and I are enough to defeat the Four Elements Academy team; on the other hand, we can hide the true strength of our second team."

"You two have already reached level 50. After participating in this Soul Battle, you can go and obtain your fifth Soul Ring. Before the preliminary rounds begin, just focus on cultivating and increasing your Soul Power level," Lin Yizhang said to the two women.

Both women nodded. Dugu Yan's face was full of excitement at the thought of fighting a strong opponent tomorrow; Ye Lingling, on the other hand, remained calm. In fact, as a support-type Soul Master, she didn't really like fighting, so she didn't feel disappointed that she didn't have to participate.

Zhang Fan might be a little upset when he finds out he won't be playing tomorrow, but he'll understand. After all, he's already a level 54 Soul King. If he participates in the Soul Battle with great fanfare tomorrow, his information will likely be known to other factions soon, which would be very disadvantageous for him.

The next morning, after breakfast, everyone chatted idly in the hotel's side hall to pass the time while waiting for Ling Xu's news.

About half an hour later, Ling Xu came over and said, "I found out that the Four Elements Academy will be holding the Soul Battle at Tianshui Academy this time. The teams from Blazing Fire Academy, Divine Wind Academy, and Thunder Academy have already set off for Tianshui Academy. We can go there now too."

Lin Yizhang called out, "Brothers, let's go wreak havoc! Aren't you excited? Haha."

"Excited!" Lin Yan and Xiao Dong jumped up and cheered.

……

In the rest room next to the Soul Arena at Tianshui Academy, the members of the Tianshui Academy team, along with their team leader, dean, teachers, and many others, are gathered.

Everyone present was an absolute beauty, which shows how unique Tianshui Academy is.

The dean of Tianshui Academy was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties or forties. She was tall, voluptuous, with fair skin and a pretty face. Her name was Shui Ningshuang, and she was the aunt of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

Like Shui Bing'er, Shui Ning Shuang's martial soul is the top-tier Ice Phoenix. Her innate soul power is as high as level nine, and at the age of over fifty, she has already cultivated to level 86 Soul Douluo, truly deserving of a title.

Shui Ningshuang looked at Shui Bing'er and the others and said, "The people from Thunder Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Divine Wind Academy will be arriving soon. Bing'er, are you all ready?"

Shui Bing'er glanced around at her teammates, then looked at Shui Ning Shuang with a determined gaze and said, "We're ready."

"Good, very good. All seven of you main team members will be on the field together later. Except for not being able to use your Martial Soul Fusion Skill, you can use whatever you want. I hope you can defeat the teams from the other three academies. Do you have confidence?" Shui Ningshuang said.

Shuiyue'er said playfully, "With my sister here, beating them up is a piece of cake, isn't it? Hehe."

Everyone covered their mouths and chuckled upon hearing this.

"Well, you guys can't be careless later. Feng Xiaotian from the Divine Wind Academy team is a genius with innate full soul power, and Yu Tianxin from the Thunder Academy team is one of the most outstanding geniuses of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in this generation. In addition, Huo Wushuang and his sister are also rare geniuses. You can't afford to mess things up." After everyone had finished laughing, Shui Ningshuang still gave them a serious warning.

At this moment, a teacher walked in and reported to Shui Ningshuang: "Dean, the people from Thunder Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Divine Wind Academy have arrived at the academy gate."

"Okay, I understand. Bing'er, you all rest here for now. I'll go greet them." After saying that, Shui Ningshuang led the group of teachers out, leaving only one team leader to arrange the Soul Battle matters for the Tianshui Academy team.

At the entrance of Tianshui Academy, the teachers from Thunder Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Divine Wind Academy met and chatted.

The five elemental academies have always been on good terms. However, since the Elephant Armor Sect sided with the Spirit Hall, the Elephant Armor Academy has been excluded, but the relationship between the other four elemental academies remains strong.

This battle between the four elemental academies is highly valued by all sides, as they have close ties and know that each academy has produced a once-in-a-century genius. Therefore, the three deans of Thunder Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Divine Wind Academy have personally led their teams to this event.

Huo Tianming, the dean of Blazing Fire Academy and father of Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, possesses the martial soul One-Horned Fire Typhoon and is an 83rd-level Power Attack type Battle Soul Douluo.

The dean of Shenfeng Academy, who is also Feng Xiaotian's father, is Feng Ming, whose martial soul is the Gale Demon Wolf, and he is an 82-level agility-attack type battle spirit Douluo.

Yu Xiaolei, the dean of Thunder Academy, possesses the martial soul Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and is an 84th-level Power Attack type Battle Soul Douluo.

"Brother Lei, Brother Tianming, it's been a long time! Your strength has improved again! I can't even withstand the pressure of your soul power anymore," Feng Ming said, greeting them first with a joke.

"Not at all. I see you've made great progress. Your soul power has increased by one level recently, reaching level 82, right? Brother Lei and I are still stuck in the same place. Hey, you old man, you're really shameless," Huo Tianming laughed.

"Brother Tianming is right, you old codger have made the most progress, and you still have the nerve to pretend. How about we have a match?" Yu Xiaolei laughed.

"We're not fighting anymore. Today, I'll have my son fight for me. I hope your Thunder Academy kid can beat my son, hahaha," Feng Ming laughed.

"Hehe, our Thunder Academy team is not to be trifled with. So what if your son is a genius with innate full soul power? He's still just a beginner Soul Master. Our team's Heavenly Heart can easily suppress him. Let's see where you put your face then," Yu Xiaolei sneered.

"Haha, it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious. Our Blazing Fire Academy team is no pushover either. Let's settle this with a showdown!" Huo Tianming chimed in.

"Tianming is right, let's see who's better. This is Tianshui Academy, do you really think that just because our Tianshui Academy team members are all female Soul Masters, we're inferior to the prodigies you've trained?" Shui Ningshuang appeared not far in front of the three of them at some point.

"It's been a long time since Dean Shui (How have you been?)" Huo Tianming, Feng Ming, and Yu Xiaolei greeted him.

"Yes, it's been a while. Everyone must be tired from traveling so far. Since everyone's here, let's go inside and chat." Shui Ningshuang invited everyone to go inside the academy to talk.
