When Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei returned to the real world once again, an overwhelming sense of fatigue swept through their bodies. This qualifier was too tough, especially for Lan Xuanyu. Back in the dormitory, there was uniformed breathing echoing in Dorm 333 within a short while.
These three people slept for a total of 24 hours before they were satisfied and woke up.
The final results of Heaven Luo Planet’s qualifier was already announced. Lan Xuanyu’s team was the champion once again, while Bing Tianliang’s team had achieved second place.
Only Lan Xuanyu’s team managed to go on to the next level from Heaven Luo Academy. The rest of the teams were eliminated. This was the cruel part of the qualifier.
It was definitely not easy to stand out from all your peers of the same age in Heaven Luo Planet.
Also, through the conversation with Dong Qianqiu, Lan Xuanyu found out that the competition over at Heaven Luo Planet wasn’t considered intense. It was more intense over at Heaven Dou Planet; there were probably much stronger peers over at the Mother Planet. The upcoming test by Shrek Academy inner court would be the toughest test that everyone has to go through. If one wanted to get into the top 30, it wouldn’t be easy for sure.
What surprised Lan Xuanyu was that Liang Shushi’s team, which they had killed in the qualifier, was in the top ten as well. Perhaps they had accumulated enough points at the beginning.
The semi-final would be held at the Mother Planet, Douluo Planet Shrek Academy. In fact, considering the distance, they would have to leave in 20 days.
Heaven Luo Academy had announced that their Elite Junior Class for this round would be ending, so students who failed to stand out in the qualifiers would be scattered to various classes and skipped to their third year. They would go straight to the intermediate level. Even though they didn’t make it to Shrek Academy, they were still far superior than their peers.
As for Lan Xuanyu, Qian Lei, and Liu Feng, Ji Hongbin would be personally training them for 20 days. Like the old saying goes, ‘Sharpening one’s spear before going to battle.’ They had achieved such great honor for the academy during the qualifiers, so the academy naturally had high hopes for them and would show them great support. The academy would reimburse all expenses to Douluo Planet, and the team would be flying in the spacecraft’s business class cabin. This was the third class and was much better than the fifth-class cabin that Lan Xuanyu had previously sat in.Next, the academy had purchased a batch of rare ingredients for them. There were even some good stuff that were like treasures, and they had gotten a dietitian to plan their nutritional diets.
They had preferential treatment for everything.
To Heaven Luo Academy, it was very important to them whether the team gets into Shrek Academy or not because this meant whether Heaven Luo Academy was allowed to send a teacher there for training. At the same time, if they could produce one or even three Shrek Academy students, it would improve their reputation by multiple folds.
They even bought the tickets for the Spirit Ascension Platform for them, and they would be following Ji Hongbin to train for ten days then enter the Spirit Ascension Platform to improve and work hard for themselves.
Soul World.
Private training ground.
A private training ground required as much as five Soul coins per hour — this sort of virtual currency was actually more valuable than Federation coins in some sense.
And at this moment, Ji Hongbin was standing at one side of the training ground, while Lan Xuanyu, Qian Lei, and Liu Feng were at the other side.
“From today onward, you will be going through ten days of special training. The special training method is simpler, but it would definitely be more painful. I require all of you to hang on until the last minute and second. Understand?” Ji Hongbin said sternly.
The trio looked at each other and had a foreboding feeling inside them. What did he mean by ‘hang on until the last minute and second’?
Nobody dared to question the dignified Devil King.
Ji Hongbin continued, “Each of us is an entity. Whether during our cultivation or daily life, when we’re faced with something foreign or new, we will either accept or reject. When pressure comes, everyone has their own ability to resist it. This is true both physically and psychologically. And every time the pressure is lifted, we will improve and become stronger against the pressure so that we can deal with it better the next time we face the same pressure. Hence, there is a saying, ‘Without pressure, people are weak.’ Therefore, the special training is to let all of you develop your own potential by resisting pressure. Are you ready? ”
Qian Lei still couldn’t hold it in and asked, “Teacher Ji, what sort of pressure?”
Ji Hongbin looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes, “You guys will find out very soon.”
As he spoke, he suddenly took a huge step forward. At this moment, he was about 10 meters away from the trio and the moment he stepped forward, there was only half a meter between them. But it was also at this moment that the trio’s hearts began beating faster and had a fear that arose spontaneously.
The Ji Hongbin before them swelled up all of a sudden, and a tremendous pressure came down on them.
The trio could not move at all. In that instant, Lan Xuanyu felt like he was facing the Good and Evil Centaur once again. The pressure came from all sides, not just mentally but physically as well.
There were always rumors about Ji Hongbin being the strongest man in Heaven Luo Academy. But actually, nobody had seen this teacher in action before. This was the very first time, and when that tremendous pressure was produced, the trio were flabbergasted.
Their Soul Powers were triggered as well as the power of their bloodlines. But that pressure was too strong, and the severe pain felt as if their bodies were about to collapse.
Liu Feng’s right arm was heating up, the Silver Moon Wolf Right Arm was automatically protecting its master. He could clearly feel every vein in his body constricting due to this pressure; it felt like there was insufficient blood supply throughout his body. This was completely opposite from the feeling of enhancement from Lan Xuanyu’s double Blue Silver Grass because one was outward while the other was inward.
Ji Hongbin stopped moving, and various Soul Rings began rising from his feet.
Purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black — a total of eight rings rose up and encircled his body. Behind him, a gigantic black shadow rose up slowly as well.
Then, that shadow grew bigger, and the fear in the trio’s hearts intensified quickly. They felt like their bodies couldn’t handle the pressure anymore.
But compared to the intense pressure that their bodies had to withstand, the fear in their hearts were extreme.
Eight rings — what did this mean? Soul Douluo rank! And six of them were 10,000 years.
Simply put, if Teacher Ji was the one facing the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger in the additional test, he would probably be able to crush it very easily.
Other than Teacher Nana and Prince Le, whose strengths were still unknown to him, this was definitely the strongest person that Lan Xuanyu has ever met. Under immense pressure, Lan Xuanyu was thinking whether Teacher Ji could also destroy the spaceship just like Prince Le! He must ask him later.
However, this thought barely came into his mind before his body couldn’t take it anymore.
That pressure was simply too strong. The first to collapse was Qian Lei. His main ability was to summon and didn’t have much battle power. He could only rely on his Soul Power and Spiritual Power to take on the pressure. His Spiritual Power was alright, but his Soul Power cultivation wasn’t strong. His physical attributes were average too, so how could he tolerate it!
His nose started bleeding, and his trembling body was about to slump onto the ground.
As Liu Feng had an additional Right Arm Bone, he was in slightly better condition than Qian Lei. However, he was an agility type; physical attributes weren’t very strong either.
