Chapter 375: Lineup, Shen Mingluan’s Team

Forest Academy, team competition venue.

“It worked!”

Shen Mingluan clenched her fists and said to the students opposite her, “Junior Wang has agreed. He’ll come over later!”

There were three students opposite her, two men and a woman.

In the venue, there was a female teacher in charge of the competition and helping them with their daily training.

The university team was very complete in all aspects.

Hearing Shen Mingluan’s words, the three teammates smiled knowingly and were a little excited.

“Wang Che?” The female teacher smiled and said, “He agreed to be your substitute?”

“Yes, Teacher Chen!” Shen Mingluan pursed her lips and smiled, “Before the preliminaries, many teams wanted to invite him. Unfortunately, those teams were not invited. I think he might be more obsessed with farming and fighting alone, so he won’t participate in the team competition.”

“Moreover, in the past two months, he hasn’t chosen a team to participate in the school’s team preliminaries. I thought I wouldn’t have a chance. After the preliminaries yesterday, I asked without much hope today… I didn’t expect him to actually agree.”

Shen Mingluan was clearly a little surprised, but she was more surprised.

“Although he’s only a first-year student, he and his soul pets are very strong.” Shen Mingluan emphasized.

“I know.” Teacher Chen nodded, “I’ve seen the Two Kings Competition last year at the Winter Agricultural Festival and the Heavenly Gate Fire Seed behind with my own eyes. In the Earth Fire Competition in the entire war zone, his personal points suppressed all the teams. Although his points are a little exaggerated, his personal strength is indeed very strong. Now that it’s been so long, his strength must be even stronger.”

“But the team competition is not a stage for one person after all. It still depends on cooperation. Your team’s configuration is already very complete. If he comes, it might not be suitable for your team.”

“You still have to be mentally prepared.”

Shen Mingluan nodded and said, “I understand, so I asked him to come and experience it.”

“Using the training competition?” Teacher Chen looked at the people opposite them.

It was the team from the North River Academy who had agreed to train today.

There was an appointment for the training matches for all the universities.

As for how much they would expose in the training competition, the various teams definitely knew their limit.

However…

“Yes.”

“That will probably affect his confidence.” Teacher Chen shook his head helplessly, “The few opposite are not pushovers. If they knew that Wang Che was in the training competition, they might even target him crazily. These are all old opponents.”

“It’s not like our team doesn’t have anyone else.” Shen Mingluan smiled.

At this moment, the few people opposite walked over.

The one in the lead was Zheng Shaoyang.

“What are you talking about? When are we going to fight?” Zheng Shaoyang walked over casually, “Everyone knows what they’re capable of. It’s just a training competition. There’s no need to delay, right?”

“I’m waiting for someone,” Shen Mingluan said. “There’s a new substitute in the team.”

“Substitute?” Zheng Shaoyang smiled, “Yo, which trump card? Your school only has those few who can fight. The members are fixed, right? Don’t tell me it’s Wang Che.”

“Heh, you’re right.” Shen Mingluan blinked.

“…” The corners of Zheng Shaoyang’s mouth twitched.

“Are you afraid?” Shen Mingluan asked.

“Afraid?” Zheng Shaoyang’s body trembled, “There are rules in the team competition. It’s worlds apart from the competition and the individual competition. He can beat me easily in the individual competition, but in the team competition… I’ll let him know what the dangers of this world are.”

With that, he walked back, clearly preparing to go.

“Little girl, don’t tell me you want to use Wang Che to…” Teacher Chen vaguely saw through something.

“No!” Shen Mingluan denied.

“I haven’t even said it…” Teacher Chen shook his head helplessly.

Before long, Wang Che arrived.

“I haven’t seen the competition venue in a long time.” Wang Che glanced at the competition venue.

He immediately saw Zheng Shaoyang, an old acquaintance.

“This way, this way!”

Shen Mingluan waved at Wang Che.

Wang Che walked over and nodded with a smile.

“Let me introduce you first.”

Shen Mingluan pointed at the three teammates beside her and said, “This is a teammate with the same surname as you, Wang Ka.”

“Wang Ka?”

Wang Che glanced at one of the students with dark red hair.

He was fair, tall, and thin. His hair was a little flowing, and his eyes were sharp. He looked very extraordinary.

“That’s right.” Wang Ka introduced himself, “My soul power is Level 23, my martial soul is a Number Card. It can assist, heal, and control. Ahem, it can basically try them all.”

A jack of all trades, master of none.

Wang Che nodded and said, “That’s very comprehensive.”

Wang Ka laughed, “Indeed. I have two soul pets. Only one can be used in battle. The other has not been nurtured for long and has yet to reach a thousand years of cultivation.”

As he spoke, the purple soul ring on his body flashed and a round soul pet jumped out.

“This is…”

Wang Che took a look, “Mental-type soul pet, Nonsense Beast?”

The Nonsense Beast was a very interesting mental-type soul pet. It was very rare.

Its combat strength was very limited because many of its soul skills were used as support.

It could not learn complicated mental-type soul skills either.

However, this Nonsense Beast was actually very popular in the team.

This was because it had a very powerful soul skill. Nonsense Talk was also its most famous soul skill.

Nonsense Talk: Use your powerful mental strength to focus in your mouth and let out a series of strange cries. It can offset the enemy’s enhancement effect and cause slight mental confusion to the enemy, disrupting the opponent’s soul power. The greater the difference in mental strength, the stronger the effect.

The Nonsense Beast looked like a pig without a tail, but its nose was like a lion’s.

Its ears were not that big and were fat.

Other than this move, the Nonsense Beast also grasped Intent Control, Mental Control, and Spirit Halo.

It was a pure mental-type little beast.

Among them, the most useful was the Spirit Halo.

It could increase mental strength, the perception of the body, reaction speed, and so on.

With the increase in mental strength, it could use soul skills faster. At the same time, it could increase its immunity to control and have a better grasp of the battlefield. To Battle Soul Masters, with the increase in mental strength, the battle senses would be sharper.

“Roar!”

The Nonsense Beast ran around Wang Ka. It looked very healthy with a soul power cultivation of only three thousand years.

Mental-type soul pets’ cultivation was rather difficult to increase.

Its physical strength was relatively weak in all aspects.

“My mission in the team is to be a support,” Wang Ka said bluntly. “Our team’s lineup is more traditional with the three for one style.”

“Three for one?” Wang Che could roughly tell from the name.

Three would protect one.

“That’s right,” Shen Mingluan said. “Two Battle Soul Masters and two support.”

“There should be many who take this route, right?” Wang Che thought about it.

“There are indeed many, because they’re practical enough, especially for us. We can go very far.” Shen Mingluan pointed at the second male student and said, “This is Ludi, his martial soul is the Seven Star Disc. He’s also a Skill Soul Master with soul power of Level 25. His first soul pet is already 3,500 years. The second soul pet is 2,000 years.”

For a second year student, this soul pet’s cultivation was actually very high.

Especially in the Forest Academy, as a Skill Soul Master, it was definitely very high.

“My ability is rather pure.” Ludi wore a pair of glasses. His hair was a little messy, he looked a little lazy and handsome, but his eyes were very bright, “The current two soul skills of the Seven Star Disc are both relatively pure Heavenly Pivot Divine Light. They can provide a powerful soul power cultivation increase for soul masters or soul pets. The increase is 15% when stacked.”

“Soul power increase?” Wang Che was surprised.

Among the many enhancement effects, the soul power cultivation increase was very strong.

This was because it directly increased one’s soul power cultivation! It was the most direct way to increase a soul pet’s fighting strength.

As for soul power cultivation, it affected all aspects of a soul pet, including the power of soul skills, physical strength, and so on.

Wang Che had only felt that the military Skill Soul Masters had soul skills that could increase soul power. For example, his Lightning Technique only stimulated the life force potential, but it did not have the effect of increasing soul power.

Activating life force potential could increase a soul pet’s all-round attributes, but it didn’t include soul power.

However, the stimulation of life force potential also directly affected the soul pet’s attribute soul skill.

As for soul power cultivation, it was basically related to the power of all soul skills.

Be it conventional or attribute soul skills, any soul skill required soul power to activate.

Therefore, there were very few soul skills that could increase soul power cultivation.

If used on a five thousand year soul pet, 15% was equivalent to a 525 year increase in soul power cultivation.

This increase was huge.

It looked like a small increase, but the increase was actually very exaggerated.

To soul beasts within ten thousand years, every thousand years was a hurdle. The difference in strength was huge!

“Impressive.” Wang Che praised, “This is the first time I’ve seen a soul skill that increases soul power.”

As expected of Shen Mingluan’s team.

“Typically, it can only be used on soul pets below ten thousand years of cultivation or Contract Soul Masters below Level 50.”

Ludi modestly said, “Of my two soul pets, the second one has fighting strength, but it’s relatively weak. In the team competition, I can only send one soul pet, but it can be replaced. Therefore, the first one I usually send is still my first soul pet, the Pure Water Spirit, the Water Margin Qilin King.”

The purple soul ring flashed and a puppy-like water-blue soul pet appeared in front of him.

The Pure Water Spirit was called an Elemental Elf in the ancient era. Even a newborn was of the extremely rare grade.

The more famous ones were the grass-type Wood Warlord, the fire-type Flame Lotus Tyrant, the mountain-type Thousand-Layered Rock Lord, and the flying-type Gale Feather Lord.

Their evolution form and appearance would not change much, but their quality could rise to the level of a King.

Among the various attributes, they were all very powerful.

The elemental form was a pure energy body. It had an extremely strong immunity to physical soul skills. Although it was not as immune as the ghost-type soul skills, it was still immune to at least half of the damage.

It also had a considerable effect on restraining damage, so its self-preservation ability was very strong.

While being tanky, it also had various abilities.

The Water Margin Qilin King’s combat strength was average, but its support ability was outstanding.

“The last one is Bai Xiaoluo.” Shen Mingluan pouted, “She’s also the only Battle Soul Master in our team. Her martial soul is the Legacy grade White Moon Leopard.”

“White Moon Leopard?” Wang Che was extremely surprised.

He knew this.

It was an ancient soul beast with a unique skill.

Wang Che was really surprised that it was a martial soul.
