Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 104 Reserve Captain (3.2K)

Although he seemed to value Xiao Hongchen on the surface, he actually did not take Xiao Hongchen seriously in his heart.

Otherwise, Xiao Hongchen would not have been able to seize the initiative, deploy his formation, and vent his firepower to his heart's content.

After defeating Ji Juechen and Xue Nu, he was indeed inflated, forgetting that soul engineers and soul masters are different. Once a soul engineer is given a chance, under fire suppression, even Soul Emperor Xiao Hongchen can suppress him for a period of time.

Looking at the blood on his fingertips, Liuxing shook his head and thought of it as a lesson. Pride and arrogance are not good.

Although this was just a minor injury, it was healed in just over ten seconds under the influence of his life field.

Hearing Liu Xing's words, Xiao Hongchen paused and remained silent for a moment. Then he adjusted his hat, raised the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "The title of the first genius is with you for now, and I will take it."

"Tsk! Now that it's on my head, don't even think about taking it back."

Meteor said disdainfully.

Xiao Hongchen's mouth twitched and his face twisted. As expected, he still hated this brat.

"Pfft!"

Meng Hongchen, who was originally looking worried, couldn't help laughing when he heard the two people bickering, and all the worries in his heart disappeared.

"It seems that my decision was right. Both of us have gained something."

Jing Hongchen showed a satisfied smile. Xiao Hongchen was hit hard, but he did not fall into despair. Liuxing also wiped away the restlessness in his heart. It can be said that everyone was happy.

"Young people should experience more things in order to grow."

Lin Jiayi also smiled. It seemed that the principal's thoughts were more profound than he thought.

Jing Hongchen nodded. He was very satisfied with this selection, but...

Jing Hongchen looked at the dejected Xu Tianzhen and felt a little headache. This little princess was also a troublesome person. He must not let her know that he was secretly manipulating this competition.

With the end of the selection competition, the seven members of the reserve team were also determined.

There are seven people in total, including Liuxing, Liuying, Meng Hongchen, Gu Yuena, Xue Nu, Ye Guyi who won the last round, and Xiao Hongchen who won the resurrection match.

Unless there are special circumstances, the reserve team for this competition will be these seven people.

After a short rest, the seven people changed into their school uniforms and returned to the trial field under the expectation of the teachers and students of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

At this time, the six competition platforms had disappeared, replaced by a huge square platform.

Led by Lin Jiayi, the seven people stood in the center of the platform.

At this moment, it can be said that everyone is paying attention.

As the dean of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Jing Hongchen was all smiles at the moment, congratulating the seven people who had fought their way out of the crowd of hundreds of students.

For him, the happiest thing is seeing all the talented people in the college.

"First of all, congratulations to you, the geniuses of our Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy."

"From this moment on, you will be the reserve team of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Together with the regular team members, you will represent the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and the Sun Moon Empire in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition."

"At the same time, you will receive the same treatment as the regular team members, and the academy will arrange for a ninth-level soul instructor to teach you specifically."

"You have gained not only glory, but also responsibility. Although you may not necessarily participate in this tournament, now that you have joined the reserve team, you will shoulder the hopes of the academy and all its students."

"As we all know, our Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has never won a championship since we participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, and our best result was only second place. As the number one soul master academy in the mainland, This is our pain.”

"As the dean, I hope you will always keep this in mind, work hard, and bring home the championship trophy for the academy."

Jing Hongchen's words were so generous and powerful that they made all the students excited.

Jing Hongchen was right. As a member of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, who wouldn’t want to win back the championship trophy for the academy?

Meteor is no exception. He doesn't like the title of second place. No matter what, he doesn't want to lose.

During the year at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Liuxing also met many friends besides Liuying and the others.

Among them there are even people from other empires, including those from the Tianhun, Xingluo, and Douling Empires.

Gu Yuena's teacher, the eighth-level soul mentor Xuan Ziwen, was also a refugee from the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Even so, he was accepted by the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and even became the disciple of the Sun-Moon Empire's strongest ninth-level soul instructor.

It can be said that as an academy, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is already very good.

At least refugees from other empires can still find a place here.

Therefore, Liuxing has a good impression of this academy. If he can win the championship and help the academy wash away the reputation of being the runner-up for a long time, he will certainly be happy.

……

The next morning, Liuxing and his friends did not go to class, but were called to gather in the Soul Guidance Department's experimental area.

When leaving, Xu Tianzhen looked at Liuxing and the others with a resentful look on her face. Her little face was bitter, and only Nana stayed by her side to comfort her.

Soon, Liuxing and his team arrived at the testing site, and Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen also came here, and the seven reserve team members gathered again.

After a while, an old man slowly came over. This man was tall, with a beard, and short white hair like steel needles. The hair on both sides of the temples was connected to the beard. He had a majestic face and looked unparalleled in majesty. He was not angry. Self-prestigious, exuding a fierce aura.

"I am a ninth-level soul instructor from Mingde Hall. You can call me Master Ma. I am also the team leader for this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. From now on, there are still two months until the competition. I will be training with the seven of you. I hope you will seize this opportunity and improve yourselves as much as possible."

"I've met Mr. Ma."

Ninth-level soul instructors hold a pivotal position in the Sun-Moon Empire. Normally, they are elusive. Now they are in charge of teaching the seven members of the reserve team. Even the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen have to maintain respect for them.

Mr. Ma nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I won't say any more. As members of the reserve team, we will all be partners in the same team in the future. Let's get to know each other."

The seven members of Meteor looked at each other in bewilderment. Didn't they know each other well enough? At this moment, the oldest, Xiao Hongchen, took the lead and stepped forward, saying loudly, "Xiao Hongchen, fourteen years old, fifth-level soul mentor, fifty-three-level soul king."

As the oldest and most accomplished person present, he was the first to step forward.

Meng Hongchen followed closely behind, his voice clear and sweet.

"Meng Hongchen, fourteen years old, fifth-level soul instructor, fifty-second-level soul king."

"Gu Yuena, twelve years old, fourth-level soul instructor, thirty-seventh-level soul master."

"Snow Girl, twelve years old, level thirty-seven Soul Master."

"Ye Guyi, twelve years old, level thirty-fifth Soul Master."

"Meteor, twelve years old, forty-second level Soul Sect."

"Liu Ying, twelve years old, forty-second level Soul Sect."

"..."

After everyone finished introducing themselves, Elder Ma nodded slightly and said, "Among you, Xiao Hongchen has the highest soul power. How about letting him be the captain of your reserve team?"

"Mr. Ma, I object."

The first person to raise his hand was Xiao Hongchen.

"Ok?"

Mr. Ma was slightly stunned and asked, "Why?"

Xiao Hongchen looked at Liu Xing and said seriously, "Soul power level doesn't mean everything. Before I defeat him, I'm not qualified to be the captain."

"Then, Meng Hongchen."

Old Ma looked at Meng Hongchen.

Meng Hongchen raised his hand and said, "Mr. Ma, I recommend Brother Liuxing to be the captain."

The corner of Ma Lao's mouth twitched. It was really weird. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in his entire life.

The two highest-ranking ones didn't want to be captains.

However, he had also heard of Liu Xing's name. He looked at Liu Xing and said, "Then Liu Xing will be the captain of the reserve team."

After saying that, Mr. Ma looked at Gu Yuena and the others, afraid that they would say "I object" again.

"I agree."

"Agree."

"no problem."

Liuying and the others are not interested in the position of captain, but they have no objection to Liuxing being the captain.

After selecting the captain, Mr. Ma started training with the seven of them. It was basically teamwork, with two people in a team, three people in a team, or seven people in a team.

There is also corresponding guidance on soul guides, how to give full play to the advantages of soul guides and how to better stimulate the full power of soul guides.

A ninth-level soul instructor would answer every question, and everyone seized the opportunity to ask questions about any doubts or knowledge they had during their cultivation.

Everyone was already familiar with each other and had some understanding of each other, so the cooperation was very smooth.

Mr. Ma also breathed a sigh of relief. He had led many reserve teams, and this one was the strongest he had ever led, with the strongest background. Fortunately, there were no troublemakers, otherwise it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

Mr. Ma didn't know that it wasn't because there were no troublemakers, but because all the troublemakers had become honest.

After Xiao Hongchen lost to Liuxing, his arrogance was restrained a lot. Although he was still proud, he would not show it as casually as before.

Xue Nu and Gu Yue Na also have difficult personalities. Only when the captain is Liu Xing, will they listen to his words. If it is Xiao Hong Chen, it may not be the same.

This is the first day that the seven of them have formed a team. It will still take time for them to get used to each other, but they are already much better than previous reserve teams.

……

Time passed slowly and a month went by in a flash.

During this period, Mr. Ma taught diligently, and the academy also provided a large amount of expensive training resources to assist.

Although the higher-level Meteors did not upgrade, Gu Yuena, Xue Nu, and Ye Guyi each upgraded one level.

The divisions are now levels thirty-eight and thirty-six.

With the resources provided by the academy, Meteor and Firefly are actually about to be upgraded.

Now the seven of them are able to cooperate skillfully, but in this process, there have actually been conflicts and contradictions.

However, with Meteor as a buffer point, the team conflicts can be quickly eased.

Mr. Ma is very satisfied with Liuxing as the team leader. He doesn't need to worry about anything. Liuxing can manage the team by himself.

He also discovered that several troublemakers in the team only obeyed Liuxing. If he had really followed his original proposal and let Xiao Hongchen be the captain, who knows what chaos would happen now.

Let’s not talk about Xiao Hongchen for now. Ye Guyi and Meng Hongchen are relatively obedient, while Xue Nu and Gu Yuena are more selfish, that is, domineering. They will not cooperate with others unless others cooperate with them.

Liuying, on the other hand, looks gentle, soft, and weak on the surface, but she is even more self-centered than Xue Nu and Gu Yuena.

She fights with great fury, completely disregarding her teammates, except for Meteor, of course.
