Douluo Continent: Starting from Killing Arou with a Single Sword.

Chapter 73 Preparation

next day

Glass Academy

As a directly affiliated academy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, its decor is among the best in the Douluo Continent. Not only is its area one of the largest, but its furnishings are also the newest and finest. It's worth noting that the academy dedicates a significant portion of its resources to cultivating outstanding students.

At least in terms of nurturing students, both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall attach great importance to it.

After a night's rest, everyone had recovered quite well, so Ning Mumu called them all out.

"The reason I called everyone here today is simple: the Continental Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament is just over a year away, and this time, we must represent Liuli Academy in the competition!"

Ning Mumu scanned everyone's expressions one by one. Very good, everyone's fighting spirit was high.

She continued, "The previous year's seniors achieved a commendable runner-up position, narrowly losing to the Spirit Hall. However, this year, our goal is the championship, we aim for first place!"

"We've all been through a lot these past few days and have matured a lot. We should also understand that there are always people more capable than us and things beyond our understanding. But only by climbing high mountains can we look down at the valley floor, and only the strong can stand atop the mountains."

"Everyone's talent is top-notch, even among the best in the entire Douluo Continent. However, that doesn't guarantee us the championship."

"Basically, the Spirit Hall wins the championship every year. Why is that?"

Ning Mumu paused for a few seconds, waiting for the others to think.

"Because of the gap. As far as I know, in every Soul Master Tournament, the Spirit Hall's teams have players in the forties or even the fifties. And what about us? In the last tournament, the highest level at Liuli Academy was forty-eight, which was strong, but still not enough."

"You should all be aware of your own abilities, right?"

Ning Mumu asked sharply, and seeing everyone nod, she continued, "So, from now until the Soul Master Competition begins, I hope everyone can form a championship-winning team, with each person reaching the strength of a Soul Grandmaster. Is that difficult?"

"It's not difficult!" they all said in unison.

Ning Mumu nodded in satisfaction, liking everyone's answers.

The purpose of this pep talk was actually quite simple: to get the team members back on track. They had trained and grown up together over the past few years, and their teamwork was exceptionally strong.

However, even the youngest among them, Lin Feng, was only seventeen years old, and none of them were very mature. Ning Mumu could sense everyone's determination to win the Soul Master Competition, but this determination was more about pride. They seemed to lack motivation for the competition, only believing that the next champion would be them.

She was too confident, and this confidence largely stemmed from Ning Mumu. Even though she was very young, she was already the backbone of the team. Everyone felt that with Ning Mumu around, they had a protective umbrella, and they were fearless and would succeed no matter what they did.

This kind of mentality is really detrimental to everyone's development. The members of the Liuli Squad all have their own strengths; they should focus on amplifying those strengths.

"Then, over the next year, you will receive the most rigorous training at the Glass Academy."

Ning Mumu finished speaking with a smile before starting to distribute the items. This time, she wanted to cultivate a Glazed Tile Team that would shake the Douluo Continent, making the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School the number one sect in the world!

With Ning Mumu's advice and help, the spiritual lake in the sect was finally completed. Three hot spring pools were built: one for Ning Fengzhi and his two companions, one for Ning Rongrong and her team, and one for the students of Liuli Academy.

With the nourishment of the Spirit Lake water and the guidance of Ning Mumu's marrow cleansing and meridian tempering, the impurities in everyone's bodies were basically gone, and their physical condition improved considerably. Therefore, their fourth spirit rings were all at the ten-thousand-year level.

For over a year, Ning Mumu not only refined pills herself, but also took on two apprentices to help. The increase in the number of pills also boosted the strength of the students at Liuli Academy. As for the auction house, well, there weren't enough for even her own students, let alone for the auction house.

Of course, if winning a championship could be achieved simply by taking medicine and soaking in a bath, then there would be no need for effort. Therefore, the team spent more time on training trips, and the training content became more extensive. The team members killed at least a considerable number of criminals and spirit beasts, greatly improving their mental fortitude.

It can be said that Ning Mumu's training has been remarkably effective.

The current members of the Liuli Squad are as follows:

Ning Mumu, age: 15; Soul power: unknown; Soul rings: Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul with no soul rings, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul with a total of six soul rings; Soul skills: mainly self-created soul skills, strength unknown.
