SOUL LAND IV (DOULUO DALU) : ULTIMATE FIGHTING - Chapter 713 - The Branch Competition Will Be Even Harder

713 – The Branch Competition Will Be Even?Harder

“Will the sparring match with the branch be more difficult than challenging the sixth years ?” Lan Xuanyu asked.

Due to the difficulty points that Yin Luohong had given him just now, defeating the sixth years would give him one difficulty point, but defeating the branch would give three. This was very obvious, the branch might be more difficult to deal with.

“En, it’s the graduates from their Inner Court that will be sparing with you guys. They are all between twenty-three and twenty-five years old and are basically at the peak of their strength. The strongest among them is an eight-ring Soul Master,” Xiao Qi added.

Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but feel helpless. “I knew it, this mission isn’t simple either!”

Xiao Qi looked at him with a faint smile and said, “Weren’t you very confident just now?”

Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly. “That’s only when it comes to the competition between us and the sixth years of our academy! I’m very familiar with them, but we don’t know much about the seniors from the branch. But it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Xiao Qi said in a low voice, “There must be no problem. Do you know what the requirement for the branch’s students to get into our Inner Court is? One of the prerequisites is to win the sparring competition with us. If they win once, the branch will get three slots to get into the Inner Court. This is not only a battle of honor, but also a battle of resources. Whether it is the Outer or Inner Court, the reason for reducing the number of students is because there is a limit to the amount of resources. You will understand this when you get into the Inner Court in the future.”

Lan Xuanyu frowned slightly and said, “Don’t worry, we will definitely do our best. Oh right, Teacher Tang, how is the production of the Sky Wings going? We should have gathered enough resources to exchange for some of them.”

Tang Zhenhua: “I’ve been working on it. How much resources do you have to exchange for ?”

Lan Xuanyu said, “I only wanted to change half at first, but it seems like I’ll have to change all of them at once.”

“All of them? Where did you get so many resources?” Tang Zhenhua asked in surprise.

Lan Xuanyu coughed. He felt that there were some things that he couldn’t hide anyway, so he immediately told them about the Purple Flame Pirates.

Hearing his words, Xiao Qi’s eyes widened. “You guys are too bold, actually attacking a pirate crew! What if you failed ? Could you bear the responsibility if the entire class got exterminated ?”

Lan Xuanyu lowered his head in embarrassment and didn’t refute.

Xiao Qi was even more furious. “Lan Xuanyu, the first thing you have to do as the class monitor is to ensure the safety of your classmates. What did I tell you? And you’re acting as pirates ?”

Lan Xuanyu said in a low voice, “Teacher Xiao, if we want to grow quickly, we need a large amount of resources and we need to engage in real battles to gain experience. Isn’t this the meaning of our Sky Fighter missions? If there isn’t any danger, what’s the point of training?

“The Tang Sect rented such a good warship for us. Could it be that we really only treat it as a means of transportation ? Then it won’t be of much help to our growth. Don’t worry, the Tang Sect’s warship is very advanced and isn’t something those pirate warships can compare to. Even if we can’t defeat them, we can still escape. Furthermore, the identity of a pirate is quite helpful to us and will make the process of completing the Sky Fighter missions easier. With this identity as a cover, we can do many other things.”

Xiao Qi raised his voice. “You want to do something else? Are you planning to destroy the Sin Planet? Lan Xuanyu, I’m telling you, don’t mess around!”

“Alright, alright.” Tang Zhenhua quickly tried to smooth things over. “This matter does sound a little risky, but Xuanyu is right. With the Tang Sect’s warship’s technological advantage, even if they can’t defeat them, it wouldn’t be a problem for them to escape. Xuanyu, you must be careful not to fall into pirates’ ambush and never let anyone find the pattern of your movements, understand?”

Lan Xuanyu was smart enough to know that his teacher supported him. He quickly nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely take note of this.”

Tang Zhenhua patted Xiao Qi’s shoulder and sighed softly. “Haven’t I been researching soul technology with the Tang Sect recently? I only found out how advanced their technology is after researching with them. And this is only what they allowed me to see. There must be something more advanced that we haven’t seen yet.”

Xiao Qi furrowed his brows, clearly unable to let it go. He had deep feelings for the Star War Experiment Class and valued these children very much and was afraid that something would happen to them.

Lan Xuanyu probed, “Teacher Xiao, don’t worry, we will definitely be more careful in the future. This time, we happened to encounter a pirate crew intercepting us. At that time, we either had to fight or escape. If we couldn’t defeat the other party, we would definitely have run away. We didn’t initiate a fight.”

Xiao Qi: “What do you plan to do next?”

Lan Xuanyu said, “I will bring our team to complete the sparring competition, while the others will continue with the team battle missions. With both teams working together, we will be able to complete the missions faster. Don’t worry, with me not around, I will let them take on some level two missions. With their strength, it will definitely not be a problem.”

Xiao Qi nodded his head and said, “Lan Xuanyu, remember this, no one is to be missing in class, understand?”

Lan Xuanyu’s expression turned solemn as well. “Don’t worry, I will make sure of that. We brought back a portion of the resources this time to exchange for the Sky Wings, and the other portion is for me to head to the Tang Sect to upgrade our warship’s weapons, equipment, and power equipment to ensure its safety.”

“En.” Xiao Qi sighed and smiled bitterly. “Maybe I was too worried about you guys. A young eagle has to spread its wings and fly high, but you guys are flying too fast and I can’t keep up. Teacher Tang, please give them more advice on exchanging weapons.”

Tang Zhenhua laughed. “It’s the same for me. Their class is the class with the strongest cohesion I’ve ever seen. It is because of this that everyone is working hard to not drag the class down. Xuanyu is indeed a very qualified class leader. Under his leadership, our Star Wars Experimental Class is growing so quickly.”

Lan Xuanyu chuckled and said, “Teacher, don’t praise me first. I have a question to ask both of you. What if we get into the Inner Court in the future? Does the academy have enough resources to support us in the Inner Court?”

Xiao Qi was shocked. “The entire class getting in? How is that possible?”

Lan Xuanyu shrugged and said, “It might not be impossible. If we have sufficient resources, I predict that our class will grow very quickly in the future.”

Tang Zhenhua smiled bitterly. “From the perspective of resources, the academy definitely doesn’t have that many resources to support so many students in the Inner Court at the same time. So, if you have such thoughts, it means that when the academy finds out that your class is too strong, they will increase the difficulty of getting into the Inner Court and will block most of the students.”

Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows. “Is it really impossible?”

Tang Zhenhua said, “It’s very difficult, unless the abilities you guys have displayed can make the academy willing to groom you guys at all costs. Of course, it’s definitely not a problem for you to enter the Inner Court, not only because of your abilities, but also because of your status as the successor of the School of Life.

“By the way, I have to remind you that the position of the successor of the School of Life will not only bring you benefits, but it will also bring you a lot of pressure. Everyone in the School of Life School is looking at this position. The person in this position will be Elder Shu’s successor and the only one who can communicate with the Eternal Tree. Even if he doesn’t have much talent in battle, he will definitely be able to cultivate to god rank thanks to his relationship with the Eternal Tree. So, when the time comes, the competition will be very intense.”

Xiao Qi looked at Lan Xuanyu with worry in his eyes. Lan Xuanyu was indeed growing stronger faster, but his soul power was still increasing too slowly.

In the entire Star Wars Experimental Class, it was common to have five rings and there were even students with six and seven rings, but Lan Xuanyu only had four.

At his age, a four-ring soul master wasn’t considered bad, but he wasn’t considered outstanding in Shrek Academy. It was fine in the academy as the teachers valued his potential, but in the School of Life, the opponents he would have to face in the future were at least Title Douluos. The pressure on him was undoubtedly immense.

With regards to this, Lan Xuanyu was very optimistic. “Teacher, there will always be a path before the mountain, and Elder Shu will definitely live longer.”
