Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 115 The Captain's Position: The Most Capable Takes It

As for the sense of urgency, that's the change brought about by Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu.

One thing must be acknowledged: the talent of Soul Masters varies, and cannot be compared between individuals.

However, those who can enter Blazing Fire Academy are at least geniuses, or at the very least, elites among their peers of Soul Masters.

Even if someone is at the bottom of the class in the academy, their talent for cultivation won't be too bad. Not to mention the students selected for the Blazing Fire Team, who are among the most outstanding students in the academy.

As two of the best students in the academy, it's one thing for the captain to be one level behind in soul power when they are close in age, but it would be quite outrageous if he were two levels behind.

Otherwise, when they stand on the Soul Master Competition stage, the captain will have five rings while they only have three. Even if no one says anything, they will still feel ashamed.

Looking back at previous Soul Master Tournaments, there have been significant differences in the strength of teams from different academies. However, if we only consider members of the same team, the gap between the strongest and the weakest has never been two major levels.

Therefore, compared to the original work, with Huo Wushuang and the other two, who had already advanced to the fifth-ring Soul King level, as role models, Huo Yun and the other three were definitely more motivated to cultivate.

With greater motivation to cultivate and the additional soul power boost from the transcendent soul ring, it's normal for there to be some improvements compared to the original work.

It's also worth mentioning that this wasn't just the case for the Blazing Fire team; the Skywater team also experienced similar changes.

In the original Soul Master Competition, only three of the seven members of the Tianshui team were four-ring Soul Masters: Shui Bing'er, the team leader; Xue Wu, the vice-captain; and Yu Hairou, a team member.

However, nowadays, among the four who were originally below the fourth ring level, excluding Shui Yue'er who had cheated, the remaining three have all cultivated to the level 39 Soul Master.

Qiu Ruoshui, who has just entered level 39, will most likely not be able to break through level 40 before the start of the competition, but the other two, who have already cultivated to the peak of level 39, should be able to advance to the fourth-ring Soul Master before the start of the competition or during the competition.

It's not just the Blazing Fire Team and the Skywater Team; the seed students that other advanced Soul Master academies on the continent are focusing on cultivating have also improved to some extent compared to the original story.

After all, every legitimate advanced soul master academy isn't exactly poor, haha. They might not have enough resources to equip multiple outstanding students with super-limit soul rings, but they certainly can focus on cultivating one or two.

Even though the secret of whale glue was exposed and its already high price skyrocketed several times over, it was still not so expensive that even advanced soul master academies couldn't afford it.

Yan Zhenming was the first to notice Mu Yang's arrival. Upon seeing Mu Yang, Yan Zhenming was taken aback. He repelled the attacks from Huo Wu and the others, announced a suspension of training, and then turned to Mu Yang, saying, "Kid, why don't you come along too?"

"Alright! But I'll only be a food-type Soul Master, so Uncle Yan, please go easy on me."

Mu Yang said with a smile.

Upon hearing the sound, the six members of the Blazing Fire team noticed Mu Yang standing by the training ground.

"Xiaoyang, are you really willing to part with your girlfriend?"

Huo Wushuang said sarcastically.

"Brother, that's not Xiaoyang's girlfriend, she's clearly an older sister!"

Huo Wu also joked.

"Yes, yes, they're sisters!"

Huo Wushuang nodded seriously.

Clearly, the siblings were somewhat dissatisfied with their younger cousin, Mu Yang, who spent most of his time at Tianshui Academy and could only come back two or three times a year.

If it were your younger cousin who was getting married, that would be one thing, but you, Mu Yang, are a man. How can you become a live-in son-in-law at Tianshui Academy?

Criticism is necessary, and it must be severely criticized. This unhealthy trend must not be allowed to grow!

Mu Yang quickly waved his hand to deny it: "You two, don't talk nonsense. Yue'er and I don't have that kind of relationship."

Especially your brother Wushuang, be careful Bing'er doesn't overhear you, otherwise I won't stop her from teaching you a lesson.

"You won't stop me? If you ask me, the fact that you just stand by and watch without helping to beat me up is already a sign of our long-standing cousin relationship."

Huo Wushuang rolled his eyes at Mu Yang, not forgetting that the two of them possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

"Ahem~, seriously, we're training!"

Clearing his throat, Mu Yang walked into the center of the field.

"Very good, now all seven members of the team are here. You have three minutes to plan your tactics."

Nodding slightly, Yan Zhenming said with a smile.

"Xiao Yang, how do you suggest we fight?"

Huo Wushuang asked Mu Yang.

"You're still the captain, so you're in charge."

Mu Yang waved his hand dismissively.

"I'm still the captain? What are you talking about? Wait a minute... are you trying to steal my team captaincy?"

Huo Wushuang stared wide-eyed, asking incredulously.

"Brother Wushuang, just tell me how you got this captain position!"

"Of course, it's because I'm strong that I became the captain!"

Huo Wushuang said without hesitation.

Of course, in terms of strength, she is one level higher than him and has a special talent: Fire Dance with the Fusion Ring is stronger than him. It's just that Fire Dance, as the younger sister, is letting him, the older brother, have an advantage in this matter.

"That's right, the captain's position should be given to the most capable! Let me reintroduce myself, Mu Yang, a level 58 food-type Soul King, who knows a tiny bit of self-created Soul Skills."

Nodding, Mu Yang said with a smile.

Bing'er is the captain of the Tianshui team, so I, Mu Yang, must also become the captain of the Blazing Fire team, right? Ice and fire perfectly match my own icy flames.

"Level 58?!"

As soon as Mu Yang finished speaking, Huo Yun and the other three were filled with disbelief.

Huo Yun, in particular, clearly remembered that when he advanced to the third ring, Mu Yang advanced to the second ring, and his soul power level was ten levels higher than Mu Yang's.

In less than six years, he became a level 44 Soul Master, while Mu Yang became a level 58 Soul King.

Both are human, yet in the same amount of time, Mu Yang actually increased his soul power by 24 levels more than him?

What did you eat to cultivate so quickly?

"It's all over, it's all over."

At this moment, Huo Wushuang's face was filled with grievance.

In the past, the Blazing Fire team was not weak, but it was not the strongest either. In the qualifiers and promotion matches, the Blazing Fire team was undoubtedly one of the main players.

However, by the time they reached the finals, the Blazing Fire team was basically relegated to a supporting role and rarely had the potential to win the championship.

The Blazing Fire team finally rose to prominence this year, with a very high chance of winning the championship. But now, I, who was originally the team captain, have to step down and give way. I'm so sad and disappointed.

"Don't worry, Brother Wushuang, once I'm in the captain's seat, I'll appoint you as the vice-captain."

Mu Yang patted Huo Wushuang on the shoulder with a generous expression and offered a word of comfort.

"Vice-captain?"

Huo Wushuang raised an eyebrow.

It doesn't seem like it's impossible?

At this moment, the expert finisher, Huo Wu, delivered the fatal blow: "No way, I'm the team's vice-captain, no one can take that away from me!"

Huo Wushuang: "."

That hurts, sis!

I've revised the previous chapter. In the original story, when the Soul Master Competition started, only Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu were four-ring Soul Masters.

In addition, the fourth soul skill, the emerald light that appears after consuming the Jade Guardian Ginseng, is changed to crystal radiance.
