Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

"I will pass on the message."

After giving the handsome middle-aged man in front of him a deep look, Gu Rong indicated that he understood. He then affectionately patted Ning Rongrong's head before opening the spatial portal and leaving, eager to relay these matters to Tang Chen and the others.

"There are still three hours until dawn. Go back and get some sleep. You have a cultivation mission tomorrow."

He gestured for Ning Rongrong to go back and rest, while Lao Yue continued to study the chess game on the board.

"Yes, teacher!"

Ning Rongrong obediently agreed, but before leaving, she moved the chessboard and solved the puzzle.

The teacher's chess skills are really bad; he can't even solve such a simple game.

"Hey, this girl."

Old Yue's clone was so angry he laughed. That girl really had no respect for elders.

Not long after Ning Rongrong left, a figure suddenly appeared, exactly like Lao Yue's clone. It was Tian, ​​who had transformed into Lao Yue's template again.

After casually storing Old Yue's clone into the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, Tian Hao sat down and pondered everything that had just happened, only feeling at ease after confirming that there were no flaws.

The previous clone of Lao Yue was just a clone he cultivated specifically to deal with this situation. He also put on a show, dragging Gu Rong over as an audience member, and shifting all the blame onto Tang Shenwang to avoid affecting Ning Rongrong's future development.

"That inheritance should have already been passed on to the entire Haotian Sect through the ancient banyan tree, and there will definitely be a great harvest in the end."

As he played with a chess piece, Tian Hao thought about his previous battles with his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

The old father-in-law's divine power clearly contained the aura of Zixia, and his footwork also showed traces of the Zixia Step, indicating that he had clearly inherited that legacy from the ancient banyan tree.

This is also the deeper reason why he used his sword energy clone to give Gu Rong that inheritance; everything was under his control.

Actually, there was no other way to do it this way. Compared to the Spirit Hall, which had him as a cheat code, the Clear Sky Sect was growing too slowly and it was difficult to produce many god-level Clear Sky Hammers.

Therefore, it needs to be nurtured to allow the chives to grow more and stronger.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Purple Cloud Qi cultivated by the Purple Cloud Meditation Method has a pit, a very clever pit, which ensures that even the Asura God cannot see it, and it is waiting to be unleashed in the future God War.

"Am I being too insidious?"

Thinking about that trap, Tian Hao couldn't help but ask himself, feeling like he was becoming more and more cunning, even tricking his father-in-law, and again and again.

Although Tang Chen and his two grandchildren were seriously injured and lost the crucial new Killing City, all three were suppressed by the laws of the plane.

However, they are all in poor condition right now and have no ability to create another killing city. They can only endure the discomfort of being suppressed and slowly recover from their injuries.

What made the three of them want to vomit blood even more was that the source of this disaster was actually Tang San, on whom they had placed high hopes. He had really screwed them over.

What happened here naturally didn't affect Shrek Academy. After arranging a month of targeted team training, Yu Xiaogang finally decided to start the second phase of the training plan ahead of schedule.

He originally planned to conduct three months of basic training, which would be to help the team get along and improve their physical fitness.

As the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's leader, although his martial soul is not the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, he still understands the importance of physical fitness.

Whether you are a weapon spirit master or a beast spirit master, you must pay attention to physical fitness training.

However, these children were much better than he had expected, especially Ning Rongrong and the other two girls, whose physical abilities had surpassed those of his own disciple, Tang San.

This is all thanks to that body-refining method. Although I envy it, I have no way to get my hands on it.

However, since the children have achieved the required results, it is only natural that the second phase of special training should begin. The earlier the better, as it will leave more preparation time for the Soul Master Competition in the future.

After speaking with Flander, Yu Xiaogang led the group to the Soto Arena, and Tian Hao, disguised as Lao Yue, was naturally in the group as well.

As usual, the first round consisted of singles and doubles battles. Thanks to Ao Jiu'er's addition, no one in the eight players had to be rotated out to fight.

After the singles and doubles battles are over, it will be the team battle that Yu Xiaogang has prepared.

"Because of Manager Ao's arrangement, we know the name of the opposing team in advance. Your opponent this time is the Mad Warrior Team."

Team battles differ from previous one-on-one and two-on-two battles, placing greater emphasis on teamwork, even prioritizing individual skill.

In the world of Soul Masters, there are countless examples of the weak defeating the strong through teamwork, so no team-type opponent should be underestimated.

A team can have many different combinations due to the different types of Soul Masters and development paths. The specific combination depends on the opponent's understanding of team combat.

Everyone listened attentively to Yu Xiaogang's story.

"One more thing, because Ning Rongrong's soul power level has exceeded level 50, she is a Soul King. Once she joins the battle, you can only directly face level 50 team battles, which is not suitable for you who are new to team battles."

Therefore, in this battle, Ao Jiu'er will replace Ning Rongrong and form a team with you.

Yu Xiaogang felt quite helpless as he revealed the last thing.

Ning Rongrong's opportunity was due to her luck, and no one can say anything about it. However, it is indeed not suitable for her to participate in the competition now. Otherwise, according to the rules of the Great Soul Arena, team battles would be decided based on the person with the highest soul power level in the team.

It's not good to directly confront a level 50 Soul Master team, so we can only send Ao Jiu'er instead.

Without the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, the team's strength will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Dai Mubai and the others nodded, not surprised at all. In fact, they had already guessed it after Yu Xiaogang said that he would be participating in a team battle that night.

They are very self-aware. Although they are all very talented and can even fight opponents of higher levels, team battles require more cooperation to unleash their full combat power.

They had practiced a lot before, but this was their first real team battle.

"Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, I only have one thing to say about our opponents this time: take out their support-type Soul Master first, and absolutely do not let him use..."

Yu Xiaogang glanced at Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing and gave them a special instruction, but Tian Hao interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

"Don't say that."

Everyone turned to look, wondering why this person wouldn't allow them to speak.

Tian Hao looked at Yu Xiaogang with a disappointed expression. Yu Xiaogang's eyes twitched involuntarily at the sight of Tian Hao's disappointed fatherly expression, and he felt a surge of dissatisfaction.

He stood up and walked to Yu Xiaogang, using his height advantage to look down slightly at his close friend who had given him many good things, even a martial soul.

“Master, Yu Xiaogang, I’ve heard some things about you. Although I wasn’t in the village for that wedding, I heard about it afterward.”

I've been watching you closely lately, and I can even sense your inner emotions occasionally. I can see that you're eager to prove yourself, but these children are not tools for you to use to prove yourself.

Don't forget your role; you're just their teacher. Don't do anything or make decisions outside the scope of a teacher's responsibilities.

These words made Yu Xiaogang's expression turn extremely cold and hard, especially when the topic of his wedding from back then was brought up, which touched a raw nerve with him.

"I don't think my words and arrangements just now exceeded the scope of a teacher's responsibilities."

Forcing himself to remain calm, Yu Xiaogang retorted, still adhering to his own principles.

Seeing the two locked in a standoff, Flander was anxious, but there was nothing he could do to stop them.

He can't afford to offend either side!

Tian Hao remained calm as he looked down and said, "That was just an extension of your own thinking, Yu Xiaogang. The children were merely tools for expressing your tactical ideas. It did not benefit the children's growth at all, and might even have hindered the development of their own tactical thinking."

They are destined to leave the academy in the future. Will they have the opportunity to investigate each enemy they encounter in advance?

I know that you and Flander have your eyes on the Soul Master Competition, and the main purpose of training these children is to win the championship in the Soul Master Competition and prove yourselves.

But those are just your goals; don't impose them on the children. The children have paid tuition to attend school; they don't owe you anything.

Ultimately, all you want is victory, or to put it more bluntly, fame and fortune. You, Yu Xiaogang, want fame, while Flander wants both. However, given his greedy nature, he should be more fixated on fortune.

You don't consider the children's future at all, or rather, you've put it in a secondary position.

Is this the kind of thinking and behavior a teacher should have?

A barrage of questions left Yu Xiaogang speechless, his face turning pale.

Flander, standing nearby, opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but didn't know how to do so.

Honestly, what they said seemed to make some sense; at least he couldn't deny some of what they said.

“You should reflect on your own actions. Until you figure things out, I will temporarily take over the teaching of the children.”

Tian Hao glanced indifferently at Yu Xiaogang, whose face was growing paler, then walked back to his original chair and clapped his hands to signal the children to come over.

"teacher!"

Tang San approached his teacher, looking worried, and his dissatisfaction with Teacher Yue grew stronger.

His teacher treated him like his own child and taught him diligently over the years. He regarded his teacher as his father. Now that his teacher was being criticized like this, how could he not be angry?

"He's right, I was too selfish. Let it go, you're a team."

His stiff face twitched into a bitter smile. Yu Xiaogang told his disciple not to stray from the group, then turned and walked away.

He needs some peace and quiet.

"Focus on the battle, I'll keep an eye on your teacher."

Flander gave Tang San a reassuring look and then chased after him.

Although Tang San was dissatisfied, he still took Xiao Wu and walked over.

"You will definitely encounter all kinds of opponents in the future, and you may even be targeted by some people. There will be opponents who can restrain you. You will all graduate and go out into the world. It is impossible to maintain a team forever."

Therefore, at school, as your teacher, I will arrange for you to receive training in this area.

Generally speaking, the highest priority in combat is to exploit one's strengths and exploit the enemy's weaknesses. The second priority is to face a Soul Master of the same type. If both sides have the same advantages, then it comes down to raw strength.

The worst situation is facing an opponent who can counter you, which puts you at a significant disadvantage.

The battles at the highest level, where you exploit your strengths to defeat your weaknesses, are the easiest, but they only occur when you have the upper hand, such as when you actively target someone.

Do you know why the Grand Soul Arena chooses to randomly assign opponents? It's to help our Soul Masters improve in these areas to the greatest extent possible, and that's the true meaning of real combat.

Therefore, in the upcoming team battles, I need you to identify the type of opponent as soon as possible, and then find an opponent who counters you. Use this method to maximize your improvement and find ways to address your weaknesses in team battles..."

Tian Hao was earnest in his persuasion, and Dai Mubai and the others listened attentively. Even Tang San and Xiao Wu, who harbored resentment towards Tian Hao, had to admit that this idea was superior and genuinely meant well for them.

Just as Tian Hao was bluffing, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open, and a burly man walked in. He was definitely over two meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body. It was clear at a glance that he was a power-type Soul Master.

Kuangxi's gaze swept over everyone in the lounge, finally landing on Zhu Zhuqing, who had the most voluptuous figure, and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of fervor.

"Little girl, you have a nice figure. Why are you wearing a mask? Let your brother take a look."

As he spoke, Kuangxi strode forward and reached out to grab Zhu Zhuqing's chin.

Before his hand could even get close, a slender foot encased in a high-heeled combat boot suddenly kicked out, the immense force sending the massive body flying out of the lounge. The gust of wind it generated slammed the door shut, and the incredible speed of the kick left Mad Rhino unable to react.

"hiss!"

Ma Hongjun and Oscar gasped in surprise. They had only known that Zhu Zhuqing was fast and agile, but they never expected her to be so strong.

That big guy weighed at least four or five hundred pounds, but Zhu Zhuqing kicked him away with one kick. The force of the kick was so strong that it could close the door, which shows how strong he was.

Even after Dai Laoda's martial soul was possessed, he probably didn't have this much power.
