Chapter 106: Zhu Zhuqing Officially Joins Monster Academy, Training Begins!
"So, everyone is a soul beast? Na'er, Snow Empress, are you both as well?" Zhu Zhuqing's lips trembled slightly.
"Mm, yes, Snow Empress is the Ice Snow Woman, and this is what her soul beast looks like. As for Na'er, she can't transform," Na'er said seriously.
"Zhu Zhuqing, now that you know our true identity, as you've seen, we are all 100,000-year soul beasts in human form, not real humans," Ye Wen's voice slowly echoed.
He continued, "Now, you have the choice to leave or stay. Whatever you choose, we won't force you to stay."
"If you want to leave, we won't stop you, but you can't reveal our soul beast identities to anyone."
Ye Wen, who had the power to create a godly realm in the future, had already decided that his godly realm would not only include beasts but could also house some human deities. Humans could also ascend to godhood in his divine realm and attain divine positions.
And Zhu Zhuqing was one of the humans Ye Wen wanted to take in. He had the confidence that he could train her into a deity.
"No wonder he said that even the Spirit Hall could protect me. With this group of powerful soul beasts, what does the Spirit Hall have to fear?"
Zhu Zhuqing finally understood some things. She took a deep breath, beginning to consider the choice Ye Wen had given her.
Indeed, when she first saw them, Zhu Zhuqing was shocked, even terrified. It was no joke. In the presence of such a terrifying and massive group of soul beasts, could a human not panic? She even thought about escaping from this place, fleeing from these frightening soul beasts, but that was just a momentary reaction from the shock.
As her emotions gradually calmed down, thinking about the time spent with everyone over the past few months, Zhu Zhuqing could sense their kindness. She had gotten to know each of them well.
Most of them were kind and friendly, even better than most humans, with no hidden agendas or schemes. Of course, there were some with more sinister personalities, like Xie Hu.
But among them, there was a leader, a boss, and that was Ye Wen. With Ye Wen around, even someone like Xie Hu with a bad temperament was well managed.
As for Ye Wen's impression on Zhu Zhuqing, he had both righteous and dark qualities. He wasn't exactly a good person, nor a bad one, but he treated his own people and those around him very well.
In short, Zhu Zhuqing could accept their personalities.
After a period of hesitation, a crazy idea surged in Zhu Zhuqing's mind, and a passionate smile gradually appeared on her face. "I won't leave! I, Zhu Zhuqing, will stay with you!"
"Good!"
"Great!"
Everyone immediately shifted back to their human forms, smiling at each other.
Snow Empress extended her hand in a friendly gesture. "Zhuqing, from now on, you are a true member of our group."
"Welcome!"
Ye Wen also extended his hand. He wasn't surprised at all that Zhu Zhuqing accepted their soul beast identity and chose to continue as a partner.
Thus, Zhu Zhuqing officially became a member of their group.
"Now, let me explain the group training content for the time leading up to the Soul Master Tournament," Ye Wen had already discussed this with everyone.
He explained, "The Soul Master Tournament is primarily a 7v7 team competition. Although each of us is very strong individually, our team coordination is practically zero. And the most important thing is that we don't have any support-type soul masters among us."
"So, the focus of our training will be on team combat, team coordination, and synergy. If we don't have any coordination, even with our current strength, it will be difficult for us to win the championship."
7v7 team combat is completely different from individual battles, especially on a stage like the Soul Master Tournament.
Not only does team coordination need to be exceptional, but the lineup will also need to be optimized, selecting the strongest soul masters for the team.
The lineup is crucial!
Typically, a team would have control-type soul masters and support-type soul masters. These two types are key to any team.
Monster Academy's disadvantage is that we lack a support-type soul master.
Don't underestimate the role of a support-type soul master. A powerful support can significantly increase the whole team's combat strength.
In other words, a team of seven all at Soul Ancestor level could, with the addition of a support, reach the equivalent strength of a Soul King.
And if a team is perfectly coordinated with a top-notch lineup, the combined power of seven could be far greater than seven individuals.
Even if we don't have a support, if we don't train team coordination, adding all seven together might make us weaker.
Without coordination or synergy, we could interfere with each other, weakening the team's power.
So, even though we're strong individually, winning the championship isn't guaranteed.
After all, the Spirit Hall's team still has some strength, with three Soul Kings and the rest being Soul Ancestors.
Ye Wen continued, "In addition to training for team combat for the tournament, we also need to lay a foundation for future cultivation. So, apart from team combat, we'll also focus on physical training to improve our physique, and finally, individual strength and soul power level cultivation."
"These are the three main aspects of our training."
"No problem!" Everyone responded enthusiastically.
"Since there are two years until the Soul Master Tournament, let's all work hard during this time. Now, the training officially begins!"
Thus, Monster Academy began preparing for the Soul Master Tournament, focusing on team combat training, physical training, and individual cultivation to enhance their strength.
For physical training, the Titan Great Ape and Er Ming's gravity control domain allowed them to undergo comprehensive physical conditioning. This was the best form of physical training.
Three months passed without notice.
Everyone's team combat ability, physical strength, and soul power showed significant improvement and change. Several members had broken through major levels, advancing to the next stage and adding soul rings.
Xie Hu broke through to level 40, with his fourth soul ring reaching 10,000 years, his current soul power at level 44.
Na'er broke through to level 40, with her fourth soul ring and a 60,000-year soul power, currently at level 45.
Xiao Bai broke through to level 40, with her fourth soul ring at 10,000 years, currently at level 43.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu both reached the Soul Elder rank, with their soul power at level 31.
The others were still at the Soul Elder rank, yet to break through.
However, their cultivation together was speeding up noticeably, and they were growing stronger every day.
