Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 65 Training Partner

"Wow, amazing! Li Fei has surpassed me in just two years?!" Zhong Weibiao stared at Li Fei in disbelief. He had witnessed the entire battle, and although he didn't know what had happened inside the black mist, Li Fei's smile and Meng Shenji's words told him that the stronger Education Commissioner had probably suffered a loss in silence.

"Captain, will Li Fei's arrival threaten your position?" the vice-captain asked, leaning over.

"What can I do if I'm not as strong as him! If he's the captain, I'll accept it!" Zhong Weibiao gritted his teeth and said with a somewhat disappointed expression.

"But he only trained with us for a little over a month in three years. The brothers are not satisfied!" the vice-captain said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Captain!" The other team members around him immediately echoed.

Zhong Weibiao fell silent and did not answer their questions.

To gain respect, strength is only one aspect; sharing joys and sorrows is essential for building a strong bond. They had trained together for three years and had long wanted to entrust their backs to each other with peace of mind. How could they trust a stranger who was stronger than them?

"So, with the Dream Cult, can I rejoin the team?!" Li Fei asked with a smile.

"Okay! Where do you want to stay?!" Meng Shenji glanced at Zhong Weibiao and the others in the distance, whose faces looked unwell, and then turned to ask in a deep voice.

"Captain Zhong and the others have excellent teamwork, and the team doesn't lack any extra power-attack type Soul Masters. I'll just be a substitute player and participate in the individual competition when I have free time!"

Seeing the expressions on Zhong Weibiao's face, Li Fei understood what they meant. They were simply afraid that he would compete for the captain's position based on his abilities, so naturally he wouldn't make a fool of himself by forcibly taking the position.

"Okay, you'll be a substitute for the first team from now on!" Meng Shenji nodded in satisfaction and agreed.

Li Fei glanced at Zhong Weibiao and the others, cupped his hands in greeting to Meng Shenji, and left the training ground to head towards his dormitory.

Meng Shenji glanced at Li Fei, then pulled Zhong Weibiao and the others to start training again.

……

Back in his dormitory, Li Fei didn't see Ge Liang. He figured Ge Liang was probably training hard with the second team. After tidying up his dusty bed, he sat cross-legged on it, contemplating the mysteries of Qi and blood, constantly comparing it with the soul power within his body. This had become a daily routine for him.

Although Qi and blood are fundamentally different from soul power, they do have many similarities in application, such as the variation of hard and soft forces, the application of strength, and methods of tempering the body...

Through these methods, Li Fei's application of Qi and blood has improved significantly, and his Qi and blood have increased considerably. As his Qi and blood have increased, his body has also become stronger. In two months, his physical strength increased from 6,000 jin to 7,000 jin.

"Li Fei, you're back!"

After cultivating for a while, Ge Liang returned. Seeing the changes in the living room, he immediately realized that Li Fei had returned.

"Yeah, if we don't come back soon, we might not graduate!" Li Fei joked.

"To celebrate your return, let's go have dinner!" Ge Liang patted Li Fei on the shoulder and laughed, looking genuinely happy.

At this time, the school cafeteria was already closed, so the two went to the Zijin Hotel in Tiandou City, found a private room, and ate and chatted.

"Li Fei, tell me, what was the point of me joining the second team?! For two whole years, I've reached level 32 Soul Master, but I can only be a substitute player!" After taking a sip of strong liquor, Ge Liang began to pour out his grievances.

"What's the big deal?! I'm a substitute player too! Once your soul power exceeds level 40, becoming the captain of the first team won't be a problem!" Li Fei comforted him.

"That's true! With a few more years of training, becoming captain will be a piece of cake with my Yazi Martial Soul!" Ge Liangxin was easygoing and quickly came to terms with it. "However, Li Fei, didn't I hear you were kicked out of the team for taking too long a leave of absence?!"

"Because I'm good enough, the Dream Education Committee granted me special permission to become a substitute player!" Li Fei said with a smile.

"I remember your soul power was already level 35 when you took leave. What's it now?!"

"Level 45!"

"Damn! You bastard!..." Ge Liang was speechless for a moment. He was truly impressed by this guy. His soul power level had already surpassed that of Zhong Weibiao!

Li Fei inadvertently showed off a little, then continued chatting with Ge Liang, inquiring about what had happened at the school and in the Heavenly Dou Empire over the past two years. As the son of an imperial marshal, Ge Liang also knew quite a bit about what was happening in the empire.

In just two years, many officials in the empire were replaced, and the Crown Prince's power began to grow, becoming comparable to that of Prince Xue Xing. Li Fei could see the admiration for the Crown Prince in Ge Liang's eyes.

"It seems those spirit masters have begun to exert their power, and there are definitely more people hiding. However, with such a large-scale operation, intelligent people like Xue Ye and Xue Xing will surely become suspicious!"

Listening to Ge Liang's account, Li Fei began to ponder the situation of the Heaven Dou Empire. He was also amazed by the power of the Spirit Masters, who had managed to bring so many Spirit Hall members into the Heaven Dou Empire in just two years.

"Frequent changes in officials will definitely arouse suspicion. It seems I need to find some time to remind Xue'er to slow down her actions and replace her with lower-ranking officials, gradually undermining the entire empire from the bottom up!"

They quickly figured out the problem. Even a marshal's son like Ge Liang knew about it, which showed how big Qian Renxue's actions were. Mainly, she was too young and didn't consider things comprehensively enough.

After chatting with Ge Liang for a while and listening to some gossip about the school, the two returned to their dormitory to rest. They took some time to go to the general store to have Sister Ying deliver the advice to Qian Renxue, and then Li Fei began to focus on preparing for the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition.

On the arena!

"Red Tiger Roar!"

Li Fei activated his perception soul skill, easily dodging the attacks from Zhong Weibiao and the others. A confident smile appeared on his lips. His right fist turned crimson, and with a single punch, the air exploded. A terrifying shockwave transformed into a crimson tiger under the influence of his soul power, roaring as it blasted Zhong Weibiao off the stage!

"Sun Ji, are you an idiot?! Li Fei has already knocked you, Zhong Weibiao, down, and you still haven't managed to control him and create an opportunity for your teammates! And Guo Tianqi, you're a defensive Soul Master, is your shield just for show?! Can't you step forward and block Li Fei's attack?!" Meng Shenji, watching from below the stage, started cursing loudly.

He could certainly see that this was due to the difference in practical experience between the two sides. Zhong Weibiao and the others had only fought against students in the Soul Arena and the school, while Li Fei had definitely experienced many life-and-death battles. Every strike he made carried an unparalleled domineering aura, making Zhong Weibiao and the others hesitant and timid.

Even so, it shouldn't be the case that seven Soul Masters can't defeat one Soul Master! That's why Meng Shenji was so angry.
