Chapter 146 Ye Lingling in the Qualifying Round
A short while later, Yang Wudi returned to the secret chamber.
Yang Wudi looked at his grandson, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Podi, is it worth paying such a high price for a mere year?"
Yang Podi simply shook his head slightly: "Shi Nian's martial soul is special and has great potential for cultivation. Moreover, it can play an unexpected role in some situations."
Father Yang Zhentian was still a little worried: "But aren't you afraid that when Shi Nian reveals that he killed these people on behalf of our Po clan, we'll offend even more people?"
Yang Podi simply smiled slightly: "These scoundrels deserve to die. Even if these powerful forces find out, we will only say that we are acting on behalf of Heaven. These powerful forces will not turn against us for the sake of these few people. We can bear it, but Shi Nian cannot."
"Shi Nian is only a Soul Saint right now. If a Soul Saint were to act on behalf of Heaven and kill these people, these major forces would probably crush him without hesitation. In the future, if he joins our Breaking Clan, it would be a kind of restraint."
"Moreover, with Shi Nian's martial spirit and abilities, he could kill these people without anyone noticing. He should know better than others what to do and how to choose. After all, at Shi Nian's age, this ten-thousand-year-old Illusionary Spirit Flower is extremely attractive to him, and it is probably his last hope for breaking through."
Grandpa Yang Wudi was still a little hesitant: "This ten-thousand-year-old Illusionary Spirit Flower is indeed quite good, but it's a bit of a pity. Aren't you afraid it will break through to the Title Douluo level?"
Yang Podi shook his head: "With Shi Nian's potential and physical attributes, he can probably only cultivate to the level of a high-level Soul Douluo at most. To break through to the Title Douluo level, he would need other opportunities."
After some discussion, the group finalized the plan. Grandpa Yang Wudi didn't think too much about it; instead, he took the Ten-Thousand-Year Illusionary Spirit Flower to study it. He left the brain work to his grandson.
It's no wonder that Yang Podi values Shi Nian so much. Shi Nian's martial soul is indeed somewhat unsolvable. In the world of Douluo Continent, Shi Nian's martial soul can be considered a unique soul-searching technique. It can even modify a person's memories through illusions, making it an unsolvable existence. It can often produce unexpected effects.
In the following period, Yang Podi stopped paying attention to Shi Nian's affairs and focused on cultivating with his teammates.
Time flies, and soon it was time for the qualifying rounds to begin.
During this time, Ye Renxin arranged for someone to inform Ye Lingling that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wanted to exchange for Ye Lingling's self-created soul skill, and hoped that Ye Lingling would be careful.
To Yang Po's surprise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not come to visit. Could it be that they had other plans? After all, this self-created soul skill was quite good, and it had more room for development in the future.
On the last day of training, everyone stepped off the plum blossom stakes. It seemed that everyone had made a lot of progress. Although no one had improved their soul power level, they were all close to breaking through.
Yang Tianyue, in particular, was jumping around excitedly: "Brother, your training method is really good. I feel that my soul power has improved a lot. In a month or two at most, I will be able to advance to the Soul Master level."
"And I feel like I can jump higher now, and my speed and strength have improved."
Yang Podi looked at everyone and nodded in satisfaction: "Everyone has done very well in this month of training. Whether it is training or fighting, we need to relax and rest. In the upcoming promotion matches, I will give everyone a chance to play, as many matches as possible, and strive for everyone to make a breakthrough in the promotion matches."
That evening, everyone returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where they would join the teachers and the rest of the academy to participate in the qualifying rounds.
The qualifying rounds were held in a closed environment, in a military camp outside Tiandou City. The camp was surrounded by 10,000 armored soldiers, and no one was allowed to leave during the qualifying rounds.
The sixteen teams participating in the qualifying rounds included not only the top six teams from the Tiandou region, but also the top teams from various regional qualifying rounds. In short, it can be said that the elites from all the Soul Master academies in the Tiandou region were gathered together.
Regarding the arrangements for the qualifying rounds, Yang Podi's requirement for everyone is: try your best to play well in every game, the result is not important, the most important thing is whether you can make a breakthrough in the game and whether you can achieve a breakthrough for yourself.
If the qualifiers rely on team strength, the qualifying rounds are a display of individual ability. Moreover, Emperor Xueye once said that the top three teams with the most wins in the qualifying rounds will receive the support of the empire, provided that they serve an empire.
These rewards from Emperor Xueye were essentially meaningless to Yang Podi, or rather, to the members of the Heaven Dou Second Team. If anyone in the Heaven Dou Second Team needed a Soul Ring, their elders would personally help them obtain it, and these elders were mostly Soul Douluo or even Title Douluo level experts, which seemed more reliable than the promises from the Heaven Dou Empire.
On the first day of the competition, when it was the turn of Tian Dou Team 2 to take the stage, to everyone's surprise, the first player to go on stage was Yang Tianyue, instead of Niu Meng, Dugu Yan, or Yang Ping'an as everyone had expected.
Normally, on the first day of the competition, everyone wants to get off to a good start. The first and last players to go on stage are usually the two strongest members of the team, especially the first player, whose goal is basically to win the reward from Emperor Xueye. After all, all teams start strong, then weaken, and finally exhaust themselves. The first player to go on stage is often very important.
But Yang Podi didn't care about that. The first five players were decided by rolling dice, which made Yang Tianyue want to play more.
The first five players only play one game, and regardless of the outcome, they are immediately removed from the field and handed over to the next teammate to continue the game.
The second to last place is Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan is just one step away from a breakthrough, which is a slight lack of enlightenment. Fighting more battles is often the best way to break through.
Yang Ping'an was the last to appear. Although he didn't care much about winning or losing, he didn't really want to lose either. Yang Ping'an and Dugu Yan were the last two, and they could fight continuously, so they basically wouldn't lose, or rather, it would be very difficult for them to lose.
The first opponent they drew was Barak Academy, and the first one to go on stage was also their captain, a level 42 Soul Master.
Yang Tianyue, at level 39, faced off against a level 42 Soul Master. This might seem difficult to everyone, but unexpectedly, Yang Tianyue went all out from the start. She wielded the Soul-Breaking Spear with the agility of a dragon emerging from the sea. Although the battle was arduous, she actually won.
Everyone present was stunned. Wasn't it too easy for a Soul Master to fight a Soul Cultivator? The opponent was, after all, the captain of the Bala Academy of Sciences, and had a wealth of combat experience.
To everyone's surprise, after Yang Tianyue defeated her opponent, she left the court before the referee could even ask if she wanted to continue the next match, leaving the referee speechless.
The second to take the stage was Niu Kui, who also faced a Soul Master. Relying on his strong defense and extraordinary strength, he easily won. However, after winning, Niu Kui left the stage immediately without even thinking about playing another match.
After Niu Kui, Niu Meng, who was at level 45, was sent out. Facing Niu Meng's formidable strength, Niu Kui defeated him with just a little effort. However, after winning, Niu Meng left the arena, and Yang Yuxuan was the next to appear.
Yang Yuxuan faced another Soul Master on the other side, and despite his best efforts, he still failed. This was also the only defeat for the Heaven Dou Second Team.
After Yang Yuxuan, Ye Lingling actually took the stage, leaving everyone confused. Normally, there wouldn't be a support Soul Master on the field during the qualifying rounds.
However, facing the opponent who defeated Yang Yuxuan, Ye Lingling was not intimidated at all. With her agile skills and fast speed, she was able to fight fiercely with her opponent.
Moreover, during the battle, she would occasionally use a self-created soul skill, which would produce a ball of light in her hand to attack her opponent. What's even more ridiculous is that Ye Lingling can also cast a healing soul skill on herself. The opponent finally managed to inflict damage on Ye Lingling, only to have her heal herself, which made the opponent so angry that she almost vomited blood.
After a long and drawn-out battle, Ye Lingling finally emerged victorious, leaving all the spectators speechless. "You're a healing-type Soul Master, and a girl at that, do you have to be so fierce?"
The countless support-type Soul Masters below the stage seemed to be filled with envy as they watched Ye Lingling's self-created Soul Skill, especially the little witch Ning Rongrong, who seemed to be pondering something.
The sixth person to take the stage was Dugu Yan, but unlike the others, Dugu Yan actually played two consecutive matches. The walls were filled with poisonous mist and green gas everywhere. She easily defeated her opponent, even though the opponent was a Soul Master, she didn't feel much pressure.
Team Tiandou won easily, with everyone except Yang Ping'an getting a chance to play.
On the second day of the competition, something even more surprising happened. The first player to appear for Team Tiandou 2 was Ye Lingling, while the opposing team's captain was the academy's captain, a level 42 Soul Master.
Just when everyone thought that Team Tiandou 2 had voluntarily conceded defeat, Ye Lingling once again surprised everyone. The situation became extremely unbelievable: a level 48 healing-type Soul Master was fighting against a level 42 power-attack-type Soul Master. Moreover, the opponent's Martial Soul was the Mighty Vajra Bear, which was obviously powerful but slow and not agile enough.
As a result, this match became the longest of all the Soul Fighting matches, with the two sides fighting fiercely for more than an hour. Ye Lingling used her agile skills to dodge around and occasionally used her self-created Soul Skills to launch surprise attacks. Moreover, she would immediately heal herself if she was injured.
The Soul Master on the other side seemed very angry and forcibly launched his fourth Soul Skill to attack, which did cause some damage to Ye Lingling. However, Ye Lingling recovered immediately with a healing Soul Skill, which made the Soul Master on the other side grit his teeth. It was like a series of attacks that were as fierce as a tiger, but the effect was basically non-existent.
Unfortunately, the Soul Master opposite her couldn't outrun Ye Lingling, nor was she as agile. The closer it got to the end, the angrier she seemed to get.
The battle lasted for more than an hour before Ye Lingling finally won with great difficulty, surprising everyone.
