Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 78 Training

Because if it were before, the four of them might not have believed that anyone could shake their starting positions.

However, after Jiang Li arrived and Yu Feng was squeezed out, the other three still maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

Only Yu Feng, who had been squeezed out of the starting lineup, was unwilling to accept this and went to tell Yu Tianheng about it.

But the current situation is completely different, because after his defeat, Yu Tianheng said that he was working hard to cultivate and wanted to surpass Jiang Li.

But what was the real reason? Everyone knew the answer in their hearts.

The reason why Yu Tianheng did this, and why he had the confidence to do so, was not only because of his background in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, but more so because of his strength and confidence.

Aside from Jiang Li and Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng can be considered the third strongest member of the Tian Dou team.

With this dual identity, Yu Tianheng dared to do this.

But now that Jiang Li has said these words, everything is different. After all, Jiang Li is undoubtedly the number one player in the Heavenly Dou Team right now.

His relationship with the second strongest fighter, Dugu Yan, is even more extraordinary.

Right now, even Yu Feng, who initially wanted to target Jiang Li, couldn't help but have his mind wander.

After all, currying favor with Jiang Li is far more useful than currying favor with Yu Tianheng right now.

As long as they improve their teamwork, Jiang Li seems determined to protect them.

And the most crucial point is that, among the group, even the weakest one, Yu Feng, possesses the strength of level thirty-one, although he is slightly inferior to Yu Tianheng in terms of martial spirit and soul power.

However, this slight difference will be completely eliminated as the seven become increasingly coordinated.

Seeing the reactions on their faces, Jiang Li couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He wanted to see what would happen next.

Among this group of young geniuses, who would give up their starting position just to be Yu Tianheng's lackey?

Everyone knows that the current Tian Dou Team One is the strongest team in the Tian Dou Royal Academy in hundreds of years.

It is highly likely that they will defeat the Star Luo Royal Academy and even challenge the Spirit Hall team.

Once they achieve both of these accomplishments, the honors they receive as starting players will be enough to guarantee them a successful martial arts career for the rest of their lives.

As child prodigies, none of them wanted to miss this opportunity.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li looked at the four people and slowly spoke.

"I'm not familiar with the four of you before, so in a moment, the four of you will team up to attack me. I want to see how well you coordinate."

The moment the words fell, a look of astonishment flashed across the faces of Oslo and the others.

It's important to know that although Jiang Li is a control-type Soul Master who can counter their side's Yu Feng and Osro.

But Graphite and Stone Mill are both defensive-type Soul Masters, which happens to be the kind of beings that control-type Soul Masters dislike the most.

In addition, Jiang Li had to face four people at once, which made them glance at him.

While none of the four were confident of defeating Jiang Li in a one-on-one situation, the outcome was uncertain in a four-on-one fight.

After all, their respective martial souls are only a hair's breadth away from those top-tier martial souls.

So Shi Mo also stood up and looked at Jiang Li, unable to help but confirm.

"Captain, are you sure? Four against one!"

Finally, even Shi Mo couldn't help but raise his voice.

Jiang Li merely showed a faint expression on his face and nodded slightly.

Seeing Jiang Li's reaction, the four of them didn't waste any more words and immediately pulled him aside to discuss tactics.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but come to Jiang Li's side and whisper to herself.

"Xiao Li, aren't you being a bit too overconfident right now? Those two, Graphite and Millstone, are brothers, and their martial souls are Xuanwu Turtle. In terms of defense, they're second only to the Diamond Mammoth among their peers. Plus, these two have excellent teamwork, and with the other two, aren't you worried...?"

Faced with Dugu Yan's concern, Jiang Li simply shook his head slightly, then transmitted his voice with a somewhat confident tone.

When have I ever done anything I wasn't sure about?

Seeing this, Dugu Yan simply stopped saying anything more.

Because the two main attackers on the other side are agility-based attackers, which are exactly what Jiang Li can counter.

She knew exactly how terrifying Jiang Li's soul power was; he had already reached the Soul Master level nearly three years ago. As long as she dealt with Osro and Yu Feng first...

Even if Jiang Li used his soul power to wear down the remaining two brothers, he could still kill them.

However, Dugu Yan was worried that Jiang Li's actions would provoke the resentment of those people.

Little did they know, this was exactly the effect Jiang Li wanted.

Because the first battle with Yu Tianheng was only to make these people acknowledge his strength, and what he said before was only to intimidate them.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Jiang Li knew that he needed these people to trust him wholeheartedly and listen to him when the team battles in the future.

He had to fight another battle. Only by completely defeating these people would all his previous petty schemes disappear.

On the other side, Oslo and his group were also discussing tactics, but after a short while...

The four of them approached Jiang Li with brimming confidence, then looked at him with a fighting spirit and spoke.

"Captain, we can begin."

Jiang Li nodded slightly and looked at the group, speaking in a deep voice.

"Then unleash your full power."

The moment the words fell, Shi Mo and Shi Mo also instantly completed their Martial Soul Possession, with identical yellow-yellow-purple optimal Soul Ring configurations beneath their feet.

The first spirit rings on the two of them lit up, and a solemn aura emanated from the two Xuanwu Turtle Spirit Masters. The yellow light surrounding them, combined with their thick tortoise shells, clearly indicated that they were ready to meet Jiang Li's attack.

As for Oslo behind him, after the martial soul was possessed, his figure did not change much, except that his face was a little pale and his pupils turned vertical.

Of the four people before him, the one who changed the most after being possessed by his Martial Soul was probably the Wind Chime Bird Soul Master, Yu Feng. A pair of medium-sized wings spread out from his back.

Unlike his three teammates who are currently in a state of temporary beast transformation, his transformation after being possessed by his martial soul is somewhat similar to that of Yu Tianheng.

Its body already possessed many characteristics of a martial spirit. The wings on its back were the same color as the summoned martial spirit, both being brownish-yellow. However, after the martial spirit possessed it, it appeared to have a more solid texture.

Although Oslo and Yufeng had already possessed martial spirits, the two of them stood behind the Shi brothers in a posture of being ready to strike.

They were well aware that they were being countered by Jiang Li. Relying on their numbers to strike first would not give them any advantage. Only after Jiang Li had made his move would they have a chance to defeat him.

Upon seeing the four people's positions, Jiang Li showed no surprise whatsoever.

Clearly, the four of them were employing a true turtle-shell tactic, which is almost the optimal solution when facing an opponent with a Soul Master who can counter their own.

However, Jiang Li's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of approval.

Clearly, these people didn't act like Yu Tianheng, relying on their martial spirits or numbers to seize the initiative.

Upon seeing that the other party wanted him to make the first move and deplete his soul power, Jiang Li naturally could not disappoint them.

However, the four of them never expected that Jiang Li's first move would catch them completely off guard.
