Oscar was incredibly excited but didn't forget to express his gratitude: "Many thanks, Hall Master Lin Yu!"
A few days later, with the help of the Hall of Judgment's higher-ups, Oscar obtained his Fourth spirit ring, and his spirit power instantly broke through to Spirit Ancestor 42.
His life began to transform at this very moment.
On the other side.
Shrek Academy, near Soto City, was now completely empty.
Because Shrek Academy had too few students, in this life, there were only Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong, a total of five people.
They hadn't even met the minimum requirement of 7 people for a Spirit Master Competition team.
Coupled with Shrek Academy failing to qualify for the Spirit Master Competition, and Flander and Yu Xiaogang wanting Tang San and the others to participate in this competition, Shrek Academy had no choice but to collectively leave for Heaven Dou City.
They planned to merge into Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Everything seemed to be developing according to the original plot, but it was upon their arrival at Heaven Dou Royal Academy that changes and turning points began.
They successfully joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy and were not turned away.
In the original story, the Shrek Academy group couldn't join Heaven Dou Royal Academy and instead went to Liu Erlong's academy because they had offended the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, Prince Xue Xing, Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo, and others.
And they renamed the academy founded by Liu Erlong to Shrek Academy.
But in this life, Qian Renxue had abandoned her Heaven Dou infiltration plan early, leaving only the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, who no longer needed to pretend to be a dissolute noble. He quickly took on the role of Crown Prince and the backbone of the Royal family.
Therefore, Xue Beng did not have any conflict with Tang San and the others.
As for Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo, they were already in Spirit Hall and would certainly not have conflicts with Tang San and the others. So, with these two incidents not occurring, the Shrek Academy group successfully joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
At this point, Shrek Academy could be said to no longer exist.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong were now students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
With the addition of Tang San and the others, the strength of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team in this life would undoubtedly be even greater.
Time flew by, and three months later.
It was time for the Spirit Hall Team to finalize its 12 participating members.
Lin Yu arrived early at the core disciples' training ground, and the 50 reserve members had already gathered.
Lin Yu already had a few confirmed participants in his hand, and he announced directly: "Today is the day to confirm the participants. Do you all remember what I said three months ago about who can represent our Spirit Hall Team in battle?"
"There is only one rule: meritocracy!"
"And among you, those whose spirit power has reached Spirit King 50 undoubtedly prove their ability and strength."
"Therefore, I hereby announce that Dugu Yan, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, who are above Spirit King 50, will be the main members of the Spirit Hall Team!"
"If anyone disagrees, you may challenge them to a one-on-one duel."
Lin Yu's voice echoed, but no one dared to come out and challenge.
Because no one could truly defeat Dugu Yan, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.
Currently, Dugu Yan's spirit power had reached a terrifying Spirit King 59, almost breaking through to the Spirit Emperor realm, at only 19 years old!
Hu Liena was Spirit King 52, at 18 years old!
Xie Yue and Yan were Spirit King 52, at 20 years old.
The four were undoubtedly the strongest among all core disciples, in a league of their own, so no one dared to defy them.
Lin Yu continued, "Since the Spirit Master Competition is a 7-on-7 team battle, the team will naturally need support systemSpirit Masters. Among you, Xu Yu and Oscar are undoubtedly the most outstanding in support ability."
"I announce Xu Yu as a main member of the Spirit Hall Team, and Oscar as a substitute member."
Xu Yu was currently the strongest support system core disciple in Spirit Hall, with Spirit Ancestor 45, a Brilliant Gold Scepter Spirit, and was 23 years old. He was one of the main members of the Spirit Hall Team in the original story.
Although he barely appeared in the original story, and many didn't even know his name, as Spirit Hall's strongest support, Xu Yu undoubtedly had extraordinary qualities.
His Spirit was not as powerful as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile PagodaSpirit, but his abilities were excellent. His support abilities were diverse, including healing, amplification, weakening enemy Spirit Ability attacks, and accelerating teammates' Spirit Ability releases, including Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
Oscar, currently at Spirit Ancestor 43, was indeed no match for Xu Yu.
Oscar's true power began to manifest after his Fifth Soul Skill.
"Now, our Spirit Hall Team's seven main members have been confirmed: Captain, me, Lin Yu."
"Vice-Captain, Qian Renxue."
"Main members: Dugu Yan, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, Xu Yu."
"Substitute member Oscar, leaving four more substitute members."
"The remaining four substitute member slots will be determined by strength, through one-on-one PKs, to select the strongest four!"
"I will never give up. I want to participate in the Spirit Master Competition and represent the Spirit Hall Team!" Zhu Zhuqing silently clenched her fists, her desire intense.
She wanted to face the Star Luo Royal Academy on the stage of the Spirit Master Competition and personally defeat her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun!
Under Spirit Hall's training, Zhu Zhuqing grew rapidly. Coupled with her early consumption of the Immortal Herb Narcissus Jade Bone and the cultivation resources of whale jelly provided by Lin Yu, at only 13 years old, her spirit power had already reached Spirit Ancestor 41!
But at this level, it was still very difficult to represent Spirit Hall in battle.
In her full-out battles, Zhu Zhuqing defeated several core disciples who were also Spirit Ancestor level.
With a bit of luck, she barely scraped into the Spirit Hall Team as the last substitute member.
"I won, I can also represent the Spirit Hall Team in battle now." Zhu Zhuqing lay exhausted on the ground, panting heavily.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's strenuous effort, Oscar couldn't quite understand: "Zhu Zhuqing, at your age, you could totally participate in the next competition five years from now!"
"By then, you'll definitely be a core main force of our Spirit Hall, shining brightly in the competition, a true powerhouse. Why push yourself so hard now?"
Oscar was a bit confused. In his opinion, Zhu Zhuqing, even with all her effort now, could only be a substitute member.
If she waited another five years, an 18-year-old Zhu Zhuqing would be terrifying.
She would surely rise to fame in the Spirit Master Competition, becoming the focus of all attention.
But only Lin Yu and Dugu Yan knew that Zhu Zhuqing didn't care about fame or fortune; what she pursued was power and defeating Zhu Zhuyun on the competition stage.
If she missed this competition, she wouldn't be able to compete against Zhu Zhuyun.
"You don't understand," Lin Yu said to Oscar, then announced, "Alright, I announce that the remaining four substitute members are Zhang Ping, Sun Chuantao, Li Kai, and Zhu Zhuqing."
