"Although I have always emphasized that martial souls are the foundation we must not ignore, we also cannot, because of this, abandon those methods that can effectively enhance our overall combat strength.
Soul tools are very sensitive and indeed not something that everyone can use without restraint at the moment. But precisely because you cannot casually use soul tools in battle under normal circumstances, soul tools can completely become a means for you to turn the tables at the critical moment. Therefore, it is still very necessary for you to practice using soul tools proficiently."
At this point, the Master paused slightly, as if confirming whether the students had already understood his meaning. After confirming that no one had any objections to this arrangement, he continued:
"Considering that this kind of life—fighting in the virtual combat room in the morning and engaging in real combat at night—will be extremely exhausting, how to arrange your time in the most efficient way and adjust your state properly is also something you need to experience and learn during this stage of intensive training.
I can give you a hint: opponents in the virtual combat room can be simulated at one hundred percent. Using the virtual combat time in the morning intelligently will make things much easier for you. Do you all understand?"
"We understand."
At eleven o'clock in the morning, this temporary meeting held at Oscar and Aos Qin's home officially ended. The teachers dispersed on their own. Flander took Ma Hongjun and left the city directly in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest. The students who had nothing else to do prepared their lunch themselves.
Three days later, Ma Hongjun returned from the Star Dou Great Forest. After activating his martial soul, the purple soul ring that appeared above his two yellow soul rings marked that Ma Hongjun had officially crossed the first major threshold on the path of a soul master's cultivation—Soul Elder.
However, Ma Hongjun was not very satisfied with the effect of his third soul skill.
First of all, although the soul skill "Phoenix Wing Soaring" allowed Ma Hongjun to break free from the limitations of the ground and made his Phoenix martial soul a true flying-type martial soul, this skill did not bring him the powerful attack power he had long dreamed of.
After activating Phoenix Wing Soaring, his second soul skill "Bathing Fire Phoenix" would be automatically ignited. Whether it was the temperature of the flames or his defensive ability, both would be greatly enhanced. However, considering that among Ma Hongjun's soul skills, the only truly offensive skill was Phoenix Fire Line, this type of enhancement skill could not fundamentally improve his offensive capabilities.
In other words, Ma Hongjun still lacked effective offensive methods. His strongest attack method was still the self-created soul skill "Phoenix Spreading Wings," which he had not yet fully mastered.
And the reason Phoenix Spreading Wings was not enough was that it could not truly grant Ma Hongjun the ability to fly. Otherwise, Phoenix Wing Soaring would have been a completely useless soul skill for him.
Secondly, Phoenix Wing Soaring had another fatal flaw. Because activating this skill was essentially equivalent to simultaneously activating both the second and third soul skills, the soul power consumption required to maintain it was extremely terrifying. With Ma Hongjun's current soul power at only around level thirty, he simply could not use this skill for long periods of flight.
One week after the second stage of intensive training began, the Master brought everyone the news that the virtual combat room was ready for use. From that day onward, the students began a life of constantly traveling between Suotuo City and Shrek Academy.
During the virtual battles in the morning, the students would take the opponents they encountered the previous night as their combat targets. In this way, they could save the time originally used for reviewing battles and instead use it to recover their physical and mental states. This was the true meaning of the hint the Master had given earlier.
Busy time always passed quickly. The eight Shrek students, who were dizzy with busyness due to their training tasks, had soon been fighting continuously in the Suotuo City Grand斗魂 Arena for an entire month.
Today was the 31st day since the second stage of training began. After tonight's斗魂 battles ended, the eight students would迎来 the first points settlement since their斗魂 life began.
Wearing an ordinary white mask and simple sportswear, Aos Qin skillfully wandered alone through the various sub-arenas of the Grand斗魂 Arena. Eventually, he found a sub-arena with relatively fewer spectators, walked in, and sent its arena number to the other Shrek students via his phone.
After about ten minutes, Aos Qin, standing near the registration window, finally saw the students gradually gathering toward him. Like Aos Qin, the other students were also wearing their own clothes and ordinary paper masks that cost two copper soul coins each.
As for why the situation had become like this, we must go back to three weeks earlier.
At that time, the Shrek Seven Devils team had not only achieved an excellent record of seven consecutive victories in team battles, similar to the previous Berserk Team, but each member of the team also had equally eye-catching results in one-on-one and two-on-two battles.
Outstanding results combined with special and eye-catching military-style team uniforms allowed the eight members of the Shrek team to gain extremely high popularity in the Grand斗魂 Arena in just one week.
The enthusiastic fans were unwilling to miss any opportunity to get close to their idols. Once they discovered the members of the Shrek team, they would swarm forward, making it impossible for the students to move freely.
After experiencing several such incidents of being surrounded, the students learned their lesson and no longer entered the Grand斗魂 Arena together in neat uniforms as before.
Every day, the students would draw lots to choose one person to enter the Grand斗魂 Arena first. This person would find a sub-arena with fewer spectators and determine it as the venue for that night's斗魂 battles. After that, the other students would enter the venue separately according to the arena number they received, wearing their own clothes, and complete the gathering.
Only after finishing the registration for the night's斗魂 battles and obtaining the qualification to enter the rest area reserved for competitors would the students change into their uniforms in the rest area.
Today, the representative chosen by lot was Aos Qin. As usual, the students holding their斗魂 badges lined up at the window to complete the registration for tonight's battles. However, after the staff member at the window received Dai Mubai's badge at the front of the line, he did not quickly complete the registration as usual.
"Shrek Seven Devils Team? Are you members of the Shrek Seven Devils Team?"
The staff member first confirmed Dai Mubai's identity in surprise. After receiving an affirmative answer, he immediately dropped his work, took Dai Mubai's斗魂 badge, and ran rapidly into the staff passage behind him.
This scene made Dai Mubai freeze on the spot. Although he was wearing a mask, Aos Qin could imagine that Dai Mubai's expression must be full of the classic philosophical three questions: "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"
Since the斗魂 badge was still in the staff member's hands, the students had no choice but to wait patiently in place. Fortunately, the staff member did not leave for long. About five minutes later, he returned to his post.
What puzzled the students was that the staff member still did not help Dai Mubai register for the competition. Instead, he politely returned Dai Mubai's斗魂 badge.
At the same time, a supervisor-level staff member who had met the students several times before appeared in front of them.
The newcomer first bowed elegantly to the students to express his apology, then spoke:
"Please forgive my abrupt interruption of your schedule. My surname is Ao, and I am a supervisor at the Grand斗魂 Arena. I am here on behalf of the Arena to discuss some matters with the esteemed members of the Shrek Seven Devils Team. May I ask whether you would be willing to move to the VIP room for a conversation?
Of course, the Grand斗魂 Arena will never force you to do anything you are unwilling to do. And regardless of whether you agree to what we discuss or not, the Arena is willing to pay one hundred gold soul coins as compensation for the time we have taken from you."
