"Do we need to borrow people from other forces?"
Xue Tianxing shook his head and quickly rejected the idea.
The soul masters from other forces may not be reliable, and they are likely to reveal the strength of Barak Academy. If they are caught, it will be more trouble than gain.
Xue Tianxing stood up and paced back and forth in the training room, his heart full of anxiety.
"Wait, maybe we can start with attribute matching?"
Xue Tianxing suddenly stopped and a gleam of inspiration flashed in his eyes.
The current configuration of the Barak Academy team:
I am a strong attack type, Shui Bing'er is a control type, Shui Yue'er is a quick attack type, Oscar is a food type auxiliary, Dugu Yan is a control type, and Ning Rongrong is an auxiliary type.
The team already has strong attack, agile attack, control, and support, but the only thing missing is a defensive soul master.
"If we can find a defensive spirit master, it will not only complete the team's configuration, but also enhance the team's survivability."
Xue Tianxing stood in the training room with a frown on his face, and kept recalling the list of the younger generation of soul masters in the Barak Kingdom in his mind.
A defensive soul master is an important guarantee for the team and can protect teammates from damage, but he thought about it over and over again and still couldn't find a suitable candidate.
There are a few defensive soul masters in the kingdom, but either their soul power level is too low, not even at level 40, or their martial souls are ordinary and their defensive abilities are mediocre, which cannot meet the needs of the team at all.
"Forget it. Since we really can't find one, let's just have six people compete this time."
Xue Tianxing shook his head helplessly.
Although six people would be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers when fighting against seven, given the strength of their team, Xue Tianxing did not take the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy seriously.
As for the Continental Soul Master Competition in two years, he could only hope to meet a suitable defensive soul master in the coming time. If he really couldn't find one, he could only select a soul master with decent qualifications from Barak Academy, train him in advance, and put together a seven-man lineup.
After figuring this out, Xue Tianxing stopped worrying about it, turned around and left the training room, and walked towards the academy's training ground.
At this time, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Oscar, Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong were conducting daily training on the training ground. Shui Bing'er controlled the ice element to build a defensive barrier, while Shui Yue'er flexibly shuttled between the barriers and practiced dodging skills. Oscar and Ning Rongrong stood aside, releasing auxiliary soul skills from time to time to increase their soul power, while Dugu Yan was studying new poison-using techniques.
"Everyone, stop for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Xue Tianxing walked forward and spoke to the group. Everyone stopped training and gathered around. Xue Tianxing continued:
"A week from now, the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe, will lead the Tiandou Royal Spirit Master Academy's team to Soto City. They have invited us to a sparring match. We will then go to the Great Soul Fighting Arena in Soto City to fight them."
"Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy?"
A hint of excitement flashed across Shui Bing'er's eyes. She stopped controlling the ice element and spoke with anticipation.
"Finally, I have a decent opponent! Apart from battling you, Tianxing, I've been sparring with Yanyan lately. I'm almost exhausted."
Dugu Yan also put away the poison sac in her hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"Yeah, fighting against Tian Xing, we're no match at all. We don't even have the chance to use our full strength. Fighting against others isn't very challenging either.
The Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy is the top academy on the continent, and their team should be quite capable. It's a good opportunity for me to try out my newly researched poison techniques."
Shui Yue'er also nodded, her eyes full of eagerness to try, and then she also said:
"I've long wanted to compete with spirit masters from other academies to see how strong our Barak Academy is."
Although Oscar and Ning Rongrong did not appear as excited as the other three, they also showed anticipation.
Oscar patted his chest and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I will provide you with the best soul power supplies when the time comes, and ensure that you can display your strongest strength."
Ning Rongrong also said:
"My Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda will also bless everyone's speed, strength, and defense. I will definitely not hold you back."
At this moment, Ning Rongrong seemed to have suddenly thought of something, frowned, and asked Xue Tianxing:
"Brother Tianxing, I remember that each team needs at least seven people to participate in the Continental Soul Master Competition, right? Including you, there are only six of us now, and we're still short of one more person. Where are we going to find one?"
As soon as Ning Rongrong said this, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er and others also reacted and looked at Xue Tianxing in confusion.
Before, everyone was immersed in the excitement of competing with opponents and forgot about the number of participants.
Xue Tianxing was well prepared. He looked at everyone and said slowly:
"I've thought about this.
There are still about two years until the Continental Spirit Master Competition. We can use these two years to slowly search for suitable candidates and see if we can find a strong defensive spirit master to join us."
Xue Tianxing paused and continued:
"If we really can't find a suitable one within the next two years, then we'll have to select a spirit master with decent qualifications and strength from Barak Academy before the competition to temporarily fill in the team and complete the seven-man lineup.
Although this may affect teamwork, it is the only solution."
After hearing Xue Tianxing's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
Shui Bing'er said:
"That's fine. We still have two years left. We can slowly search and maybe find a powerful defensive spirit master to take our team's strength to the next level."
Dugu Yan also echoed:
"That's right. If we really can't find one, we can choose one from the academy. We'll spend more time with him and we should be able to form a good synergy quickly."
Seeing that no one objected, Xue Tianxing smiled:
"Since everyone agrees, we must seize the opportunity to train hard in the coming week, especially strengthening teamwork and striving to show the style of our Barak Academy in the competition with the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy!"
"good!"
Everyone responded in unison, their eyes filled with fighting spirit.
In the next few days, six people could be seen training hard every day on the training ground of Barak Academy.
Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan studied how to coordinate the use of control soul skills to maximize the restriction of the opponent's actions;
Shui Yue'er, with the assistance of Oscar and Ning Rongrong, practiced attacking techniques while moving at high speed;
Xue Tianxing would occasionally point out the shortcomings of several people and adjust the tactical arrangements.
Five days later, Xue Tianxing and his group left Barak City and headed towards Soto City.
