Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

Flander said, "We're not strong at all. It's been almost half a month, and we still haven't discovered your Soul Master strength until you activated your Martial Soul yourself."

Chen Luo said, "Don't say that. You guys are still very strong. It's just that after my soul power level reached level 30, Luo Sanpao evolved. Maybe that's why the fluctuations of my soul power became relatively weak, so you haven't been able to notice it."

"No wonder..."

Flanders casually asked, "Could you tell me about what you've been through all these years?"

Chen Luo said, "Sure, let's not talk about things from too long ago. Let's start from when I took Tang San as my disciple. It was because of the change in my mindset after taking him as a disciple that I was able to break through in strength..."

Many things still needed to be said eventually. Chen Luo had already prepared his explanation and was just waiting for Flander to bring them up. Flander was also very patient, only bringing it up now. He was probably too concerned, which is why he was being so careful in everything he did.

Chen Luo briefly recounted his experiences in Notting City, mentioning some essential figures such as Xu Yuanjia and Tang San repeatedly.

To Chen Luo's surprise, Flander also knew Xu Yuanjia, but they had only met a few times.

"That's how I've lived these past few years. I feel like I've been reborn," Chen Luo said, his tone tinged with emotion.

"Yes, as long as we can pull ourselves together, that's better than anything else."

Flander had finished his sake, but hadn't eaten much of the food. He said with some anticipation, "Now that you're at the Soul Master level, I wonder how much our Soul Fusion Technique will improve..."

When he got to the second half of his sentence, Flanders' voice gradually became much softer.

Chen Luo said, "There will be opportunities to see it in the future, and maybe I will be even stronger by then."

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Flander immediately perked up: "Have you really figured it out?"

Chen Luo said, "I've already said it, I've come back to life, what else is there that I can't understand?"

"However, there are some people and some things that we still need time to face. If we rush things, I'm afraid I'll turn back into the old me and be trapped in my inner demons."

Flander nodded vigorously, not mentioning those things again. His face was full of smiles, and his eyes were slightly red and moist.

“I always thought I was the most sentimental person. When did you become so sentimental? We have so much to do in the future. Let’s save some emotions for happier moments later,” Chen Luo said.

Flanders laughed and said, "Hearing you say something like that is a bit unusual for me. I'm usually the one comforting you."

Chen Luo's gaze fell on Flander's empty sake bottle: "The sake in Notting City tastes good, better than the sake in Soto City. Maybe I'll go to Notting City for a couple of drinks sometime?"

“Sure, we can also go see Xu Yuanjia. It’s been so many years, I bet he’s forgotten all about me,” Flander said.

Chen Luo nodded, then, as if he had thought of something, suddenly asked, "Do you have any connections to poach people from the Spirit Hall?"

Flander was somewhat surprised: "Recruiting people from the Spirit Hall to be teachers?"

"Anything is fine, as long as he's in charge of testing martial souls and soul power," Chen Luo said.

Flander was even more puzzled: "Testing martial spirit and soul power? Any soul master will do, why do we have to poach people from the Spirit Hall?"

Chen Luo said, "That person is not simple; he might bring good luck to our academy."

"Hmm? Why is this getting more and more mysterious? Who is it that has piqued your interest so much?" Flander asked.

Chen Luo finally uttered the other person's name: "Su Yuntao".

"Su Yuntao?"

Flander frowned slightly: "I really haven't heard of this name before."

Chen Luo smiled and didn't say anything more, but instead brought up another matter: "You used to run a shop, do you still have any extra space to store soul tools?"

"Have."

Flander asked, "Are you planning to give this to Yu Xiuyuan?"

"Mm." Chen Luo nodded.

Flanders remarked, "You are truly fortunate to be my disciple."

Chen Luo nodded: "They're so lucky to be their teachers."

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

In front of the Shrek Academy building, all eight little monsters were in position.

The news that increasing physical strength could lead to obtaining higher-age spirit rings had spread among all the little monsters, and they were more eager than ever before.

Without any unnecessary chatter, the daily physical intensity training quickly began.

Compared to the individual weight training half a month ago, the little monsters have now entered the team weight training stage. They need to exert the strength of the team to complete the weighted long-distance run, constantly refine their teamwork, and maximize the team's strength.

half a month later.

The eight little monsters gathered in front of the monster teaching building as usual, and Chen Luo, unusually, began to speak.

"You have performed very well in training during this period, and it is time to move on to the next stage. I believe you will all like it."

Chen Luo paused for a moment, then continued, "The advanced training for Soul Fighting will begin tonight! The academy's Soul Fighting Arena is no longer sufficient for you; you should go to a more suitable place."

"Today's training session will be shortened to give you more time to adjust. After dinner, gather here."

"Yes!"

The eight little monsters said in unison, and then went to train very conscientiously.

Chen Luo watched their departing figures, a relieved smile appearing on his face: "Their physical strength can only be improved to this level for now. They've hit a bottleneck in their combat training, and ultimately they'll have to follow Flander's old path. In the Soto Arena, there will be fresh opponents every day..."

Chapter 49 First Battle a Complete Victory (Part 1)

Moon stars are rare.

The silvery moonlight shone down on Shrek Academy, adding to its tranquility.

Eight little monsters gathered in front of the monster teaching building, and Chen Luo stood opposite them.

"What the academy can teach you is how to better utilize your martial spirit, help you obtain better spirit rings, gain more practical combat experience, develop your potential as much as possible, learn about all aspects of martial spirits, and understand the situation of spirit masters on the continent, etc."

"Among them, the most important is practical experience. There are many standards for measuring the strength of a Soul Master, and practical experience is an essential part. Through practical experience, you can better master your Martial Soul and improve yourselves in all aspects."

"You are monsters in the academy. The academy's fighting arena can no longer satisfy you. There are very few students who can fight against you. It's not interesting to always have the same few old opponents. So you need to go to a new place for practical training. The Soto Fighting Arena is quite suitable. Dean Flander and Vice Dean Zhao Wuji will lead the team there later."

Just as Chen Luo finished speaking, Flander and Zhao Wuji arrived.

Once everyone had arrived, Flander didn't waste any words and calmly said, "Let's go, follow me."

After saying that, Flander slowly walked out of the school. At first, he walked as if taking a stroll, but suddenly he began to speed up and was already dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, the eight little monsters dared not delay for a moment, and they all unleashed their soul power and followed closely behind. Chen Luo and the little monsters moved forward together, while Zhao Wuji walked at the very back of the group.

In less than half an hour, Chen Luo and his group arrived in Soto City.

Soto seems even more lively at night than during the day, with all the shops on both sides of the street brightly lit and a constant stream of pedestrians.

Chen Luo and his group made a low-key walk down the street, with a very clear goal. Before long, they arrived in front of a tall building, which was the Soto Arena.

On the way there, Chen Luo had already explained the rules of the Soto Arena to the little monsters in detail. Now that they had arrived at their destination, they went straight in and began the registration process.

The registration was naturally done independently by the little monsters themselves. After registration, they went directly to the preparation area. Chen Luo, Flander, and Zhao Wuji went to the rest area to wait for the little monsters' match.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar had already registered a long time ago and had accumulated a considerable number of competition records. Their Soul Fighting Competition would be the earliest.

Both Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were lucky, as their opponents had soul power levels of 32 and 23 respectively. Already powerful at the same level, they won their soul battles without any surprises, thanks to their absolute advantage in soul power level. Both of their matches were very clean and decisive.

As a food-type Soul Master, Oscar couldn't compete in a one-on-one match, so he teamed up with Dai Mubai. Their opponent was also a combination of a fighter and a support, and they won the match smoothly.

In the rest area, Flander and Zhao Wuji were both getting sleepy. Zhao Wuji pouted and said, "Dai Mubai and the other two are too lucky today. It's a crushing victory with no suspense at all. Matches where you can see the ending from the beginning are really boring."

Chen Luo said, "It's alright. Some of their habits in battle are quite good. A battle that doesn't give the opponent any chance is also quite entertaining."

Flander nodded slightly: "They haven't participated in the Soul Fighting Competition for a while, so winning a few matches to get back into form is a good idea. I just don't know if the others will be so lucky."

Zhao Wuji laughed and said, "It might be a bit difficult. Tang San's Soul Battle Competition is coming up soon. He has only obtained his third Soul Ring and his Soul Power level is only level 32. However, he has encountered an opponent with a Soul Power level of level 38. It's probably going to be tough for him."

"Similarly, Xiao Wu has only obtained her third spirit ring, while Yu Xiuyuan has only obtained his second spirit ring. They have just entered a new level and will be at a great disadvantage in participating in this spirit battle competition. It is too common for them to encounter opponents with higher spirit power levels than themselves."

"But only matches like this are interesting. Bringing them here is to put pressure on them. If the opponents are too weak and the wins are too easy, then it loses its practical significance."

"Yes." Chen Luo nodded.

Flander asked, "Who is Ning Rongrong partnered with?"

“Zhu Zhuqing,” Chen Luo said.

"That's all."

Why are you suddenly concerned about Ning Rongrong?

"I received a letter from her father today."

"So you're going to take good care of her?"

"I guess so, but not entirely... He told us not to show favoritism towards Ning Rongrong because of her status, saying that Ning Rongrong is just a student at Shrek Academy now, and we should teach her as usual."

"Ning Rongrong's performance was quite good."

"Yes, it's much better than I expected. It's mainly because you teach so well and lead by example. If I were a student, I would be inspired too."

"Haha, is it really that exaggerated?"

A smile appeared on Chen Luo's face. At this moment, Dai Mubai and the others had also returned. Tang San's Soul Fighting Competition was about to begin, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Soul Fighting Arena.

Two contestants entered the arena. Tang San's opponent was a burly man, around thirty years old, who looked somewhat fierce.

Tang San's martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and his soul power level is level 32.

Liao Yanghui, Martial Soul Goat, Soul Power Level 38.

This information was already released when the players completed their matchmaking.

After the contestants entered the arena, the host briefly introduced their names and martial spirits, signaling that their spirit battle could begin.

Without any pre-battle taunts, Tang San and Liao Yanghui simultaneously released their martial souls.

Three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, appeared on Tang San's body. Long, dark blue vines spread along the ground, like large, dark blue snakes, quietly undulating and covering an area with a diameter of more than ten meters around Tang San's body.

Liao Yanghui now had two horns on his head, and his body looked even stronger. His body was covered with thick gray-white hair, and three spirit rings, one white and two yellow, slowly rose from under his feet. Although his spirit ring combination was not as good as Tang San's, his spirit power fluctuations were much stronger than Tang San's.

Seeing the Blue Silver Grass surrounding Tang San, Liao Yanghui was on high alert and, unwilling to delay, launched an attack immediately.

Liao Yanghui landed on all fours, his first and second spirit rings suddenly lit up, his hands and feet transformed into hooves, and then he charged towards Tang San at lightning speed.

Tang San remained calm throughout. At the same time as Liao Yanghui launched his attack, his Blue Silver Grass had already been unleashed...
