"No, no, it's fine," Liu Erlong waved her hand. She was willing to trust Qingling simply because Qingling's character made her incapable of deceiving anyone.
If even Qingling were a liar, Liu Erlong wouldn't dare believe anyone in this world.
"Qingling, your speed of advancement is simply incredible," Liu Erlong exclaimed. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that such a prodigy could exist.
"Uh… it's okay, I guess," Qingling replied modestly.
The reason Qingling's soul power had advanced so quickly was her participation in the god-level examinations of the two deities.
Without that, she would probably still be just a low-level soul master who had barely stepped into the Soul Saint rank.
Think about it—does this sound fair to soul masters who haven't reached the Soul Saint level?
"Erlong sister, stop standing around chatting. Let's head to the inn ahead, eat something, and talk while we eat."
"Sure."
Soon, Chen Qingling and her two companions entered the inn ahead, ordering a table full of signature dishes and chatting happily.
"Erlong sister, we're heading back to the academy now."
"Go ahead."
"Wait… Qingling, you're not planning to participate in the All-Continent Elite Competition, are you?" Liu Erlong suddenly remembered something and exclaimed.
"Yes," Qingling confirmed.
Liu Erlong's expression changed slightly. "Qingling… I think Spirit Hall has some ulterior motives for holding the All-Continent Elite Competition twice in advance. I'm worried it could be dangerous for you."
"Thank you for your concern, Erlong sister. Many people have said the same to me."
"No matter what, I will participate in the All-Continent Elite Competition. With my level, Spirit Hall won't be able to trap me at all."
"This is a battle to make a name for myself across the continent, laying the foundation for becoming the number one."
Seeing Chen Qingling's determined face, Liu Erlong twitched her eyelids.
She truly had no idea what kind of father could have raised such a prodigy!
So young, yet with such lofty ambitions. In a few years, she would certainly become the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent, possibly even the strongest!
"It's wonderful… back when I was young, I too had lofty ambitions like Qingling. But…"
"Reality is cruel. I couldn't achieve it, and I don't know if I'll ever reach Titled Douluo in my lifetime."
"Erlong sister, I believe you will definitely make it," Qingling encouraged.
"Thank you for your kind words. Alright, you should head back now, it's getting late."
"Alright." Qingling took Xiao Wu's hand, heading back toward the Four Elements Academy.
......
Sea God Island.
"Great-grandson, are you really going to Spirit Hall?" Tang Chen remained silent for a long moment, looking at Tang San before him, his expression extremely complex.
Once upon a time, his relationship with Qian Daoliu of Spirit Hall had been rather tense, nothing more than neutral.
Yet now, his great-grandson had chosen to join Spirit Hall.
"Great-grandfather, everything I do is to target Chen Qingling," Tang San explained.
"I've already thought things through. Chen Qingling is a variable that must be eliminated."
"My own strength is too weak; I must cooperate with Spirit Hall members who oppose Chen Qingling."
"As long as Chen Qingling is eliminated, I will leave Spirit Hall, which holds no further use for me."
"You don't need to worry about this point, great-grandfather."
Tang Chen shook his head helplessly. Although he had spent little time with Chen Qingling, she didn't seem as bad as Tang San claimed!
Perhaps there was some huge misunderstanding between them.
"Great-grandfather, I'm leaving. I'm going to participate in the All-Continent Elite Competition."
At this moment, Tang Hao, who had quietly been standing beside his great-grandfather, spoke.
"Xiao San, aren't you taking too big a risk?"
Tang San grinned. "Don't worry. I'll go in another disguise, wearing a mask. Qingling won't recognize me."
"Even if she does, with Spirit Hall and the two gods protecting me, nothing will happen."
This time, with all his trump cards revealed, Tang San wasn't afraid of losing to Chen Qingling.
If his friends were here, they would certainly be shocked to see that Tang San's soul power had reached the Soul Saint level!
Thanks to re-studying with the God King's memories and the help of the two god-level examinations, he had become extremely powerful.
......
Back at the Four Elements Academy, Chen Qingling and Xiao Wu heard from other students that everyone participating in the competition should gather at the central square and then hurry to the venue.
Soon, when Chen Qingling and Xiao Wu arrived, the seven-person team was complete.
The four vice-deans nodded in satisfaction at the sight of the team.
The seven-person team consisted of: Chen Qingling, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian, Xiao Wu, and Yu Tianxin.
With Chen Qingling participating, this edition of the All-Continent Elite Competition practically guaranteed victory for the Four Elements Academy.
After all, Chen Qingling alone could wipe out an entire team.
Could they not get first place with her? What a joke.
"You are the seed team of the Four Elements Academy. Get to know each other."
"Chen Qingling will serve as team captain. Any objections?"
"No," they all replied.
Who would dare object?
They had all heard of Chen Qingling's name.
In front of her, none of them even counted as prodigies.
Even six of them together were no match for one of Chen Qingling's fingers— the gap was insurmountable.
"From now on, you are teammates who must fight side by side. Don't cause conflicts among yourselves."
After saying this, the four vice-deans left, giving the young people some private space.
They didn't worry at all about conflicts arising.
With Chen Qingling's strength, she could serve as captain and manage the team, preventing disputes.
"Hello, Captain. I'm Feng Xiaotian. We met a few years ago," Feng Xiaotian spoke first, breaking the silence.
"Ah ha…" Chen Qingling responded awkwardly. The awkwardness could fill a whole apartment!
Could you stop saying such cringe things? Really!
Chen Qingling took a deep breath, assuming her role as captain.
"From now on, you all must follow my orders. No one is allowed to disobey. Understood?"
"Yes."
"Good. Dismissed," Chen Qingling clapped her hands, signaling the team to disperse.
"Uh… Captain, shouldn't we practice some teamwork first?" Shui Yue'er asked timidly.
Chen Qingling paused for a moment, thinking.
Practice teamwork? Is that necessary?
Considering her own strength and the level of their opponents?
Completely unnecessary!
She alone could already crush any team. Were it not for the seven-person team requirement, Qingling would go alone.
Not to belittle them—one person was just more efficient.
"No need."
"So… how should we fight then?"
"Adapt as needed, okay?" Chen Qingling winked. "Or you can practice on your own. I don't need to join."
"This…" Shui Yue'er hesitated, thinking about Chen Qingling's strength, and decided it was better to forget it.
Any further practice, perfect combinations, or teamwork…
Was useless in the face of absolute strength.
