Chapter 23 A Bold Decision
Once Yu Tianheng's Thunder Fury was activated, he would not stop until his spirit power was exhausted, unless he chose to stop himself.
Finally, after a full-force attack that still yielded no results, Yu Tianheng stopped his movements.
He gazed at the Black Tortoise Shadow, which remained unyielding, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Dragon Chen's strength shocked him, and he was happy to have such a powerful teammate.
But he was also unwilling to accept that he couldn't break Dragon Chen's defense.
As a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and with the potential to inherit the position of Sect Master in the future, he held a certain family pride in his heart.
But at this moment, he had to concede.
"Dragon Chen, I lost. Your Black Tortoise defense is truly extraordinary."
Dragon Chen retracted his Spirit and humbly said:
"You concede too easily, Captain. Your attacks also opened my eyes. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier Beast Spirit. To withstand your ferocious attacks, I also gave it my all."
"You are too humble."
The two exchanged a smile, and Yu Tianheng frankly accepted his defeat.
Dugu Yan, Shi Mo, and others gathered around, their faces filled with genuine admiration.
Dugu Yan exclaimed:
"Dragon Chen, your defense is truly amazing! That Black Tortoise Shadow is practically an unbreakable shield!"
Shi Mo chuckled:
"Yes, my tortoise defense is simply not worth mentioning in front of that Black Tortoise."
Ye Lingling said:
"Brother Chen's defense is indeed solid, but the Captain's attack is also very powerful."
"Of course. That's a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, haha~"
Everyone was laughing and chatting, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
Qin Ming stood aside, his eyes full of gratification and expectation:
"Yu Tianheng and Dragon Chen's performances were both excellent, and with the impressive strength of the rest of you, I see the future hope of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I believe that in the next Soul Master Competition, the Royal Fight Team will definitely shine brightly and achieve unprecedented results."
The few looked at each other, their gazes firm.
Qin Ming looked at Dragon Chen and continued:
"Dragon Chen, I've always had a question. Your profile doesn't mention your innate spirit power level. Could you tell me what your innate spirit power is?"
"I have innate full spirit power at level ten."
As soon as he said this, the surroundings instantly fell silent, and everyone's faces were filled with shock.
Innate full spirit power was an extremely rare existence on the Douluo Continent, meaning that from the moment of Spirit awakening, one possessed extraordinary talent and potential.
"As expected…"
Qin Ming nodded thoughtfully.
He seemed to have already anticipated that Dragon Chen possessed innate full spirit power.
He just didn't know why he had only recently joined the Academy.
Yu Tianheng exclaimed:
"No wonder you were able to reach level thirty-two at such a young age. So you have innate full spirit power."
Even though Yu Tianheng possessed the top-tier Beast Spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, he had not achieved innate full spirit power.
Dragon Chen's talent naturally made him envious.
The others also looked at each other, their eyes filled with both surprise and relief.
Fortunately, Dragon Chen was a teammate and not an opponent.
"Dragon Chen, from the moment you awakened your Spirit, you had the qualification to obtain your first spirit ring. It's truly enviable."
Dugu Yan said with a smile, her usual arrogance replaced by a touch of sincerity.
Dragon Chen didn't want to attract too much attention, so he looked at Dugu Yan and quickly changed the subject.
"Sister Yan, we've all demonstrated our Spirit Abilities, and you're the only one left."
Everyone's gaze shifted to Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan confidently stepped forward and, under everyone's gaze, released her Bi Phosphorus Snake Spirit.
After Spirit possession, a rhomboid green scale appeared between her eyebrows, and her green eyes became exceptionally sharp, exuding a cold aura.
Her body became extremely flexible, her legs merged together to form a thick snake tail, which she used to support her body by swinging it back and forth.
Then, she demonstrated and described her Spirit Abilities in front of everyone.
Her first Spirit Ability was Bi Phosphorus Red Poison, also known as Excitatory Poison.
This toxin could stimulate nerves, increasing speed and strength by twenty percent.
Her second Spirit Ability was Bi Phosphorus Blue Poison, also known as Paralysis Poison.
This toxin could eliminate pain and also provide a thirty percent increase in defense.
Her third Spirit Ability, Bi Phosphorus Purple Poison, was a pure poison Spirit Ability.
When Dugu Yan activated this Spirit Ability, she could spit out a concentrated purple toxic mist from her mouth that would spread in the air towards her opponent.
As long as one touched even a little, they would turn into pus and die within a short time.
This was undoubtedly her most lethal move to date.
After Dugu Yan finished demonstrating her Spirit Abilities, there was a moment of silence, everyone shaken by her strange and powerful poison techniques.
Oslo couldn't help but swallow, and joked:
"Sister Yan, your poison techniques are truly terrifying. I wouldn't dare provoke you easily in the future."
Dugu Yan smiled slightly, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes, but she quickly returned to composure.
Qin Ming praised:
"Very good, Dugu Yan. Your poison techniques can play a crucial role in team battles. However, remember that the Soul Master Competition has relevant rules: it's mainly about sparring, and subduing your opponent is enough. Do not recklessly use poison to take lives."
"Teacher, I understand."
"Alright, everyone has demonstrated their Spirit Abilities. Next, we should cooperate more closely and improve the overall strength of the team to be fully prepared for the next Soul Master Competition. I believe that as long as we work together, nothing is impossible."
Qin Ming looked at these young and vibrant Spirit Masters, his heart filled with hope.
~~~~~~~~~~
In the days that followed, the members of the Royal Fight Team began their planned training.
They not only continuously improved their individual strength but also focused on teamwork and tacit understanding, and the overall strength of the team also increased significantly.
Yu Feng and Oslo both broke through the bottleneck of level thirty, and under Qin Ming's leadership, the group hunted Spirit Beasts in the Sunset Forest to help them obtain their third spirit rings.
During his studies at the Academy, Dragon Chen often took leave to return to Guang'an Hall in Heaven Dou City.
Qin Ming knew that he was developing detoxification pills for Dugu Yan, so he didn't restrict him too much.
However, when Dragon Chen was not present, the team was missing a member.
To ensure that training continued normally, a temporary main player was added to the school team.
His name was Shi Mo, he was Shi Mo's brother, and like Shi Mo, he was a defense-type Spirit Master. His Spirit was the Black Tortoise, and his spirit power was one level lower than Shi Mo's.
After Shi Mo joined the team, Dragon Chen spent even more time at Guang'an Hall.
He spent a lot of time and effort developing detoxification pills, which had a slight impact on his cultivation progress.
However, his spirit power had also reached level thirty-nine, just one step away from breaking through to level forty, already surpassing Yu Tianheng and being the highest-level existence in the team.
As Dugu Yan's spirit power increased, the effectiveness of the detoxification pills Dragon Chen developed became weaker and weaker.
Even though he had mastered all the medical skills taught by Shopkeeper Wang, he couldn't solve this problem.
Dragon Chen knew that he didn't have much time left and had to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as soon as possible.
One day, Ye Lingling came to find Dragon Chen, full of joy.
"Brother Chen, I finally broke through to level thirty."
"That's great! We can go to the Sunset Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts again. You are about to obtain a thousand-year spirit ring, and your healing ability will definitely improve a lot."
For Dragon Chen, this was a good opportunity.
This time, he made a bold decision to venture into the forest center.
