Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"You two little ones are really something."

He looked at Wang Teng and Dai Mubai, his eyes filled with lingering fear.

"They've managed to create an explosion of this scale."

"If we hadn't dealt with it earlier, neither of you would have escaped."

After saying that, Flander looked the two of them up and down and continued, "Judging from this, this battle of spirits is a draw between you two, no objections?"

Dai Mubai was panting heavily, his body covered in sweat and dust, looking rather disheveled.

He looked at Wang Teng, who was also teetering on the brink of collapse, not far away, with a complicated expression.

Before the war started, who could have imagined that it would end in a draw?

But the facts are undeniable, leaving him no choice but to acknowledge them.

"Dean, I have no objection."

Dai Mubai's voice was a little hoarse. After speaking, he shook his head, it was hard to tell whether he was sighing or mocking himself.

Wang Teng, supporting himself on his knees and trying to calm his breathing, said in a very soft voice, "I have no objection either."

Flander nodded, looked at Wang Teng, and asked, "So what's next?"

"Should you wait until you recover your soul power before fighting the mistress, or...?"

Wang Teng straightened up, looked at Tang San standing in the crowd, and shook his head.

"Never mind, Dean."

That's enough for today.

Wang Teng said calmly, "I've already challenged Xiao Wu and Boss Dai enough."

"As for the mistress... let's forget about her."

Wang Teng knew in his heart that he was definitely not in a good condition to play another match today.

Moreover, to be honest, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass does have some effect on him.

Wang Teng currently has no good way to deal with the vines that suddenly sprouted from under his feet and the poison attached to them.

Therefore, since the goal has been achieved, there is no need to confront Tang San.

Flander didn't press the matter, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, then so be it."

"It's getting late, haven't you all had breakfast yet?"

Only after he said that did everyone realize that they were indeed a little hungry.

But when everyone walked toward the canteen, chatting and laughing, they found that the canteen door was open, the stove was cold, and the pots were empty.

Teacher Shao Xin, who was in charge of the cafeteria, was standing at the door with a bowl of rice in his hand. When he saw them coming, he chuckled and said, "I was so engrossed in your fight that I forgot to cook."

Everyone: "..."

Ma Hongjun cried out, "Teacher Shao, aren't you trying to kill us?"

Laughter rang out at the entrance of the cafeteria. The sun had fully risen, its warm rays making people feel cozy.

After the meal, with the help of Teacher Shao Xin's various recovery candies, Wang Teng quickly regained his physical strength and soul power.

The candies come in red, green, and yellow varieties, each with different effects. They melt in your mouth and have remarkable results.

After that, he joined the others to continue the training tasks that he had not yet completed for the day.

Under the sunlight, the sounds of Wang Teng and others running and training echoed across the Shrek Academy's playground once again.

Inside the cafeteria, Flander and Yu Xiaogang sat at a table in the corner, discussing the previous battle.

At this moment, the canteen was empty, with only the occasional sounds of training outside the window breaking the tranquility.

"Xiao Gang, you've seen the previous battles, and you know Wang Teng's strength. So, what about your previous ranking..."

Flander looked at Yu Xiaogang with a hint of expectation in his eyes, waiting for his answer.

Yu Xiaogang, however, crossed his arms and frowned deeply, remaining silent for a moment.

His gaze fell on the table, as if he were pondering some profound question.

It's clear that Yu Xiaogang is unsure of what to do when faced with the unexpectedly powerful and formidable Wang Teng.

My once clear thoughts were now disrupted, as if a stone had been thrown onto the calm surface of water.

Flander didn't urge Yu Xiaogang; he simply reached out and pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a glint of light.

He waited silently for Yu Xiaogang to make a decision, a habit he had cultivated over many years.

Long ago, when Flander and Yu Xiaogang were adventuring across the continent together, it was always Yu Xiaogang, as the wise one, who made the decisions.

Whether facing a formidable foe or encountering difficulties, as long as Yu Xiaogang was there, Flander felt confident.

Over the years, Flander has grown accustomed to this way of getting along.

However, even though Wang Teng was Shrek's student, and even though he was a promising talent that Flander had personally recruited from outside, he still managed to achieve this.

However, Flander ultimately entrusted Yu Xiaogang with the assessment of Wang Teng's value.

He trusted his old friend's 'vision and wisdom'.

After a while, Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then he said to Flander, "I still stand by my original judgment."

Yu Xiaogang's voice was not loud, but his tone was firm.

"Are you really going to do this?"

"Wang Teng's current combat strength is second only to Dai Mubai among the eight of them."

Upon hearing this, Flander looked at his friend in disbelief, his eyes filled with surprise and incomprehension.

Chapter 192 The Discussion Between Yu Xiaogang and Flander

Could it be that Yu Xiaogang, in order to save face, is unwilling to change his initial judgment even though he knows he is wrong?

Flanders wondered to himself.

Yu Xiaogang seemed to have seen through Flander's thoughts, so he quickly explained, "Flander, let me explain. I have my own reasons for putting Wang Teng in the reserve position."

"First of all, Xiao San and Dai Mubai are indispensable core combat forces in the team."

"Although Wang Teng and Dai Mubai fought to a draw in the previous battle, I think you should have realized that the reason for that battle was that Dai Mubai was not familiar with Wang Teng's methods, and Wang Teng gained an advantage by taking advantage of the surprise."

"Therefore, Wang Teng was able to take advantage of Dai Mubai's carelessness and barely manage to achieve a draw with him."

Yu Xiaogang paused, picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and continued, "However, even though Wang Teng had the upper hand, he still couldn't completely defeat Dai Mubai in the previous battles, as you saw."

"Moreover, Wang Teng's innate soul power is only at level five, so his cultivation speed is naturally much slower than Dai Mubai's."

"The future is long, and the gap between him and Dai Mubai will only widen."

"So, even though they fought to a draw this time, if you look ahead, Wang Teng will become increasingly powerless when facing Dai Mubai, until he is no match for him at all."

"Therefore, I put Wang Teng after Xiao San and Dai Mubai, you have no objection to that, right?"

After listening to Yu Xiaogang's analysis, Flander was a little reluctant, feeling that it was unfair to Wang Teng, but he still nodded in agreement.

Rationally speaking, he could not refute Yu Xiaogang's reasoning.

"From this perspective, Wang Teng's long-term value is indeed not as high as Dai Mubai's."

"But why did you put Wang Teng on the bench?"

"Even if Wang Teng is not as good as Dai Mubai in the future, his current combat strength is still stronger than others."

"Even if his cultivation speed is the slowest, if we let them form a team to participate in the Soul Master Competition two years later, I think Wang Teng's soul power might be a little lower than Fatty and Zhu Zhuqing's. However, I think his actual combat ability might far surpass the two of them."

Flander asked in confusion, as he still felt it was a bit unreasonable to put Wang Teng on the bench.

"Flander, don't rush, let me explain slowly."

Yu Xiaogang raised his hand, signaling Flander to calm down, and continued, "I mentioned Xiao San and Dai Mubai before. Besides them, Ning Rongrong and Oscar are also indispensable members of an excellent team."

"Ning Rongrong needs no further introduction. She has a level nine innate soul power and her martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"In short, the combat effectiveness of a team is completely different with her and without her."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul's support capabilities are top-notch across the entire continent; you know that better than I do."

"As for Oscar, he is your disciple, and a food-type soul master with innate full soul power, a rare find in a century."

"Food-type Soul Masters are rare to begin with, and those with innate full Soul Power are one in ten thousand."

“Oscar’s future is limitless. He can not only provide the recovery sausages needed for battle, but more importantly, his potential has not yet been fully developed.”

"Therefore, Oscar is an indispensable core member of Shrek Academy's team."

"Oh right, besides those two, there's also Xiao Wu."

"Xiao Wu is also born with full soul power. Her cultivation speed, her potential, and the various soul skills she has mastered are all top-notch."

"I think that even if Xiao Wu accidentally lost to Wang Teng before, it is obvious that Xiao Wu's future value far exceeds that of Wang Teng."

"Therefore, it was entirely correct of me to place Oscar, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong in front of Wang Teng."

Yu Xiaogang continued his analysis.

Yu Xiaogang's tone was calm at first during his analysis, but the more he spoke, the more determined his eyes became, as if he was trying to convince Flander and himself.

"call--"

Flanders took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair.

At this point, he had almost accepted Yu Xiaogang's analysis and believed that Wang Teng might really only be able to occupy a substitute position in the team.

However, his feelings as the dean of the academy, and his expectations for Wang Teng, still led him to ask, "Then, what about Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing?"

Why did you put both of them before Wang Teng?

"Just like I said, even two years from now, I feel that neither of them will be a match for Wang Teng."

"Fatty's problem with his internal fire has been bothering him. Although Zhu Zhuqing is diligent in her cultivation, I think Wang Teng is clearly superior in terms of practical experience and combat awareness."

"The two of them..."
