Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"That's Wang Teng."

"I heard that he suddenly joined the team, causing one of us to go from being a regular player to a substitute player."

"I wonder if this person is really as formidable as the captain described?"

Although everyone spoke in hushed tones, the courtyard was spacious, and every word drifted clearly into Wang Teng's ears.

Wang Teng remained expressionless, simply standing there quietly, his gaze sweeping over each of the six people's faces, taking in their expressions.

Some were curious, some were unconvinced, and some were expressionless, waiting to see what would happen.

It seems these people don't have a very good impression of themselves.

"Ahem, we can talk about other things later. Now, please introduce yourselves."

Feng Xiaotian coughed twice and urged.

As soon as he finished speaking, the six people spoke in turn.

"Mo Hui, Martial Soul: Wind Eagle, Soul Power: Level 43."

The first to speak was a tall, thin young man, the one who had been injured by Yu Tianxin on the street yesterday.

His complexion has improved considerably today, and he speaks in a flat tone, revealing no emotion.

"Liu Shan, Martial Soul: Flowing Cloud Banner, Soul Power: Level 41."

The young man standing next to Mo Hui spoke up. He was not tall and spoke in a low voice. After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyelids.

"Ling Yi, Martial Soul: Gale Leopard, Soul Power: Level 41."

This was a fit young man who spoke with his chin slightly raised, his gaze fixed on Wang Teng with a scrutinizing air.

"Summer, Martial Soul: Swift Wolf, Level 39."

A young man of medium height took half a step forward, his voice loud and clear, quite open and honest.

"Fang Qing, Martial Soul Hyacinth, Level 38 Soul Power."

The only woman among the six, she had delicate features and a gentle voice. After speaking, she pursed her lips, seemingly a little nervous.

“Sun Jun, Martial Soul: Gale Sword, level 41 Soul Power.”

The last to speak was a taciturn young man who stood at the far end, holding a long sword. He briefly stated his name and martial spirit before saying nothing more.

After the six people finished their introductions, all eyes turned to Wang Teng.

"My name is Wang Teng, my martial spirit is the Explosive Spinning Top, and my soul power is level 39."

Wang Teng spoke up neither humbly nor arrogantly, paused, and then added, "By the way, Feng Xiaotian and I have a martial soul fusion technique."

Upon hearing this, the people opposite him were clearly taken aback and exchanged glances with varying expressions.

Spirit fusion skills are not something that can be achieved casually; there are only a handful of such skills across the entire continent.

Since Wang Teng can use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with the captain, the significance of it is naturally different.

"Oh, I see."

"It seems we were just unlucky this time."

"So what do we do now? Who should be our substitute?"

The group began to whisper among themselves again, but their tone had softened considerably compared to before, and their hostility had largely subsided.

"Alright, everyone, listen to me."

Feng Xiaotian clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back to him.

"Our Kamikaze team has two things to do today."

"The first thing we need to do is select a player to be changed from a regular player to a substitute player."

"The second thing is that we need to do some teamwork training in the coming days."

After Feng Xiaotian finished speaking, his gaze swept over everyone's faces.

"Captain, about the substitute players..."

Mo Hui hesitated before speaking, only saying half of what he meant, but everyone understood.

Before Wang Teng arrived, these six people had spent every day together and had a deep bond. It didn't matter who played or who was a substitute, since they trained and played together anyway.

But now that Wang Teng has joined halfway through, someone will inevitably have to step down from their position as a regular team member, which makes everyone present feel uneasy.

"All right."

Feng Xiaotian pondered for a moment, then looked at the two of them and said, "Xia Ri, Fang Qing, you two are level 39 and 38 respectively."

"The replacement players need to be chosen from the two of you."

Chapter 326 Summer Challenge

Feng Xiaotian's words were blunt, but they were also true.

Although the Soul Master Competition does not have strict requirements on the level of Soul Power, the higher the Soul Power of the official team members, the better.

Xia Ri and Fang Qing had relatively low soul power in the team, so it was expected that they would be singled out.

"Captain, I'm quitting."

No sooner had Feng Xiaotian finished speaking than Xia Ri stepped forward, her voice crisp and clear.

He glanced at Fang Qing, then turned to Feng Xiaotian and said seriously, "Although my soul power is level 39, which is one level higher than Fang Qing's, I am a power-attack type soul master."

“Our team already has two offensive-type Soul Masters, Captain and Mo Hui. In comparison, Fang Qing is a healing-type Soul Master, so she is more useful than me.”

"Therefore, I volunteer to be a substitute player."

Xia Ri spoke frankly and openly, moving everyone present.

Fang Qing's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but Xia Ri waved her hand to stop her.

"Good brother, I'm sorry."

"I did this for the sake of our Kamikaze team."

Feng Xiaotian stepped forward and patted Xia Ri's shoulder heavily, his tone tinged with guilt.

"Captain, before I leave the official team, there is one more thing I want to say."

Xia Ri raised her head, her gaze passing over Feng Xiaotian and landing on Wang Teng.

"what's up?"

Feng Xiaotian asked.

"I want to challenge Wang Teng."

Xia Ri spoke slowly and deliberately, her eyes revealing her seriousness.

"Summer, you..."

Feng Xiaotian frowned, wanting to stop him.

"All right."

Wang Teng took a few steps forward, stood in front of Xia Ri, looked at him calmly, and said, "I accept this challenge."

"Everyone's soul power is level 39, so I'm not taking advantage of you."

"Now, I'll make you willingly withdraw from the official team."

Wang Teng's tone was not heavy, but it carried an undeniable confidence.

Upon hearing this, Xia Ri's eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression became even more serious.

"Everyone, step back and give them space."

Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Feng Xiaotian stopped trying to stop them.

He waved his hand, leading the others to retreat and clearing the arena in the center of the courtyard.

A tense atmosphere filled the space between Wang Teng and Xia Ri. The two stared at each other, neither making the first move.

On the bluestone ground beside the arena, a few fallen leaves were swept up by the wind and then fell silently back down.

"Martial Soul: Swift Wolf!"

"Awoo—"

Before he finished speaking, a slender wolf shadow appeared behind Xia Ri. Its body was bluish-gray and its eyes were eerie green. It was his martial soul, the Swift Wolf.

The wolf shadow raised its head and howled, the sound echoing in the courtyard, carrying a hint of wild ferocity.

"A speed-type martial soul?"

"It seems we need to be wary of his initial strong attack."

Wang Teng looked at Xia Ri across from him, pondering to himself, while simultaneously circulating his soul power, a silvery-white light slowly flowing between his palms.

"Martial Soul: Explosive Spinning Top!"

Wang Teng casually waved his hand, and a silver-white light fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of light appeared, and a silver-white top the size of a washbasin appeared on the arena between the two, landing steadily on the ground.

"Click-click-click—"

The spinning top rubbed violently against the bluestone floor, producing a piercing metallic sound.

Tiny sparks flew out from the contact surface, clearly visible in the sunlight.

"Swift Wolf, possess me!"

Xia Ri let out a low shout, and his aura suddenly changed.

Wang Teng had seen many beast spirit masters possessed, and most of them were half-human and half-beast, but Xia Ri's Swift Wolf possession was completely different.

Xia Ri seemed to have truly transformed into a wolf.

His limbs became long and powerful, his body leaned forward, his hands supported him on the ground, his ten fingers like claws, firmly gripping the bluestone slab.

Summer's back was hunched, his eyes gleaming with a ghostly green light, and he lay prone on the ring like a predator poised to pounce.

"Game start!"
