"Fatty, Little Ao, among our original Shrek teammates, only the two of you haven't reached level forty. You need to work harder and try to reach level forty before the Spirit Master Tournament qualifiers."
Grandmaster looked at Ma Hongjun and Oscar. Without the help of immortal-grade herbs, their spirit power was only around level thirty-six. Dai Mubai had only reached over level forty because he was a few years older.
However, a fourteen-year-old high-level Spirit Elder was actually considered a genius on the continent. But because of the shadow Heart of Fire Academy cast on them in the Spirit Arena competition, they had trained diligently and undergone rigorous special training this year. Even though their strength had improved significantly, Grandmaster was still not satisfied with them and was still increasing the intensity of their training.
For this, the three chairmen of Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's academic affairs all praised Grandmaster: "As expected of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang! He's not even satisfied with such geniuses, which shows how strict his teaching is and how superb his level is!"
After being called out by Grandmaster, Oscar and Ma Hongjun both scratched their heads awkwardly. Their condition was not good; their faces showed signs of fatigue, and their dark circles were heavy, which was likely due to being overwhelmed by the training.
"We will continue to work hard."
Their current team had more than nine people, but only seven teammates could participate in the Spirit Master Tournament. This meant that whether they could get a chance to play would depend on their individual abilities, survival of the fittest, or choosing a formation based on the enemy's lineup, otherwise they would become reserve players.
Ma Hongjun licked his lips, glanced at Ye Lingling, and said to Yu Xiaogang, "Grandmaster, my evil fire accumulation has no stable outlet, which greatly affects my training. If you could let Lingling be my girlfriend and help me release my evil fire from time to time, maybe I really can break through to level forty before the qualifiers."
Yu Xiaogang looked at Ma Hongjun intently, "If she is willing to be your girlfriend, then it's up to you. She is a core Spirit Master of the Heavenly Dou-level in the academy. As a teacher, I cannot interfere with such matters."
Seemingly sensing Ma Hongjun's lewd and vulgar gaze, Ye Lingling frowned and moved even further away from the Shrek people.
Ever since these Shrek teammates merged, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had not stopped harassing her, making them seem very flirtatious and vulgar.
Moreover, they had also corrupted her original teammates.
Dai Mubai often said to them, "Training is too tiring, it's time to reward ourselves. Want to go find some girls tonight?"
At first, her battle team teammates only treated it as a joke and laughed it off, not taking it seriously. But as they spent more time together and became more familiar, Yu Tianheng and Shi Mo, after going out with Dai Mubai one night, completely changed.
They became addicted, and whenever they felt tired after a few days of training, they would go do what they called "rewarding themselves." Afterwards, when they returned to special training, they even learned to tell dirty jokes.
This made Ye Lingling, as the only remaining girl in the team, feel very offended.
"Thanks to Little San's strategy, using the scent of herbs to lure Spirit Beasts here, otherwise, with such strong Spirit Beasts, we probably wouldn't have succeeded in hunting them so easily."
"Alright, since everyone who needed to absorb a spirit ring has succeeded, it's time for us to go back and prepare for the upcoming Spirit Master Tournament."
"Little San, let's go."
Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San's shoulder. All his hopes were now placed on this disciple.
