Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 54

Chapter 54: The Military Soul Badge and the Nine-Heart Sea Lantern

Listening to Nan Feihuang’s question, Qin Ming shook his head. “No, Feihuang, you’ve already reached the Silver Dou Soul level, and Xun’s score is also close. Therefore, starting today, I want you to try team battles.”

Although Qin Ming knew that Nan Feihuang and Xun Yu would eventually leave the team, and the Shi brothers would be the ones to participate in the tournament with Yu Tianheng and the others in the future, he couldn’t let the lack of the Shi brothers stop Yu Tianheng and the others from team battle training.

Nan Feihuang, although a strong attack-type Soul Master, is well-rounded in both offense and defense. When Xun Yu summons his infantry, it’s equivalent to having a defensive Soul Master, and their combination can still train Tianheng and others in team battle capabilities.

As for the Shi brothers, they are the least in need of training, because the job of a defensive Soul Master is simply to protect the rear.

In team battles, their job is simply to protect Ye Lingling and Du Gu Yan. It was like that before, and even if they trained for another three years, it would still be the same job. Therefore, the Shi brothers’ departure wouldn’t significantly affect the training.

Instead, this could be a chance for Ye Lingling, who will be without their protection, to learn self-preservation on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, he overlooked a crucial factor: with Nan Feihuang charging forward and Xun Yu summoning a large number of soldiers to stay in the rear, she’d be in danger if anything!

Yu Tianheng walked to the registration counter and handed the list to the receptionist. “Sky Dou Battle Team, seven people registering, team battle, a wagered battle!”

He was clearly a veteran of team battles; his words were concise. However, since they hadn’t yet earned the Imperial Dou title, they registered under the name of Sky Dou Academy.

“Alright, everyone, get ready. Now we just wait for the Dou Soul Arena to arrange our opponents,” Yu Tianheng said as he approached the group. “I have a private room at the Dou Soul Arena; I’ll go rest there first.”

Nan Feihuang pulled Xun Yu aside. “Wenruo, where have you been these days? You’ve been with Ye Lingling the whole time. You’re being a bit too friendless for a friend! And besides, being a simp never ends well!” (Simp is a slang term for someone excessively attentive to someone who doesn’t reciprocate their feelings.)

If Xun Yu were to pursue Ye Lingling in a clingy way, Nan Feihuang indicated he wouldn’t approve.

“Hehehe, Your Highness, you underestimate me. I have indeed been with Lingling these days, but I haven’t been clingy. She’s more than happy to be with me,” Xun Yu said with a smile. He knew that simply showering a girl with attention, especially someone as outstanding as Ye Lingling, wouldn’t work.

The most important thing is to show your own excellence, to let the girl see something that attracts her.

Wasn’t that how Nan Feihuang treated Xue Ke?

That initial gambling debt was just Xun Yu’s way of letting Ye Lingling know his feelings. After that, there was no need for such actions.

Since Ye Lingling disliked getting something for nothing, but she really needed money, Xun Yu simply let her earn what she deserved.

“Your Highness, here’s this month’s earnings,” Xun Yu suddenly tossed a gold Soul Coin card to Nan Feihuang. “There’s about fifty thousand gold Soul Coins in there. My earnings.”

“Xun, you earned fifty thousand gold Soul Coins in just a few months? How did you do it?” Xue Ke exclaimed. Although she was a princess, she wasn’t oblivious to the world outside; because of her admiration for her brother, she also understood the average income in Tiandou City.

Xun Yu’s rate of earning money was nothing short of a miracle.

“Nothing much, just working. Your Highness, my level is now twenty-eight, so I can summon up to fifty-eight soldiers. Fifty-eight people working day and night – digging foundations, building houses, moving cement and all sorts of jobs. On a 007 work schedule (working seven days a week, implying long hours), and getting daily pay, it’s not that difficult,” Xun Yu laughed.

“Wenruo, but I remember that your summoned soldiers are no different from ordinary people; they get tired and can die. Once they reach their limit, you have to summon new ones. Working day and night, where do you get that much Soul Power?” Nan Feihuang was puzzled. Xun Yu wasn’t a Title Douluo; he was just a great Soul Master. How could he squander his Soul Power like this?

“I alone couldn’t possibly do it, but Lingling’s here. Her Nine-Heart Sea Lantern is the best healing ability in the world. It not only heals injuries but also restores stamina. As long as my soldiers don’t die from exhaustion, there’s no need to summon new ones,” Xun Yu explained.

“I only summon them again after Lingling’s Soul Power is depleted. Then, while they reach their limit again, Lingling restores her Soul Power through meditation, and I meditate as well. By the time she’s exhausted again, I’m already full, and the cycle continues. Therefore, my soldiers are on a full 007 work schedule. Your Highness and the Princess can imagine how efficient that is.”

“Furthermore, because of the extended meditation time, both of our Soul Powers have improved recently. We work and cultivate simultaneously. It’s truly a two-pronged approach!”

“We split the earnings seven-three. I get seven, she gets three. This is the result of her hard work, so she’s very happy and can accept it with peace of mind.”

“I see, Wenruo, you’re quite clever,” Nan Feihuang admired. Alternating rest periods to turn his soldiers into a perpetual motion machine and use fifty-eight brothers to help chase a girl and make money at the same time – only Xun Yu could do that.

It was clear that Ye Lingling and Xun Yu’s relationship had improved significantly.

While it wasn’t necessarily love, Ye Lingling at least considered him a friend, and she greatly admired his intelligence.

“By the way, Your Highness, I know you want something from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and some intel from the Heaven Dou Sect. I have a way to get it, and I can also make those two great sects fight among themselves. If I can help you get that, wouldn’t I deserve a title?” Xun Yu said this using a mental transmission technique.

Xue Ke couldn’t hear it.

Mental transmission wasn’t a high-level technique; not only was it in the Dunjia Heavenly Book, many people in this world knew it.

To ensure important information wouldn’t leak, Nan Feihuang had Xun Yu and others learn it too. Unfortunately, it only worked on Xun Yu.

Because Dian Wei always only had one sentence: “Yes, my lord!” Whether it was encrypted or not didn’t matter.

As for Lü Lingqi, her constant screaming would be incomprehensible.

“Really?” Nan Feihuang became interested. He was very ambitious. In the future, if he were to covet the world, the Martial Soul Temple and the Seven Great Sects would be insurmountable obstacles.

If he could create some trouble for them, they wouldn’t be able to focus on him for a long time, which was a good thing.

Only one thing troubled Nan Feihuang. “Wenruo, I’ll remember this, but I can’t openly acknowledge this contribution. I can’t use the fact that you helped me scheme against two great sects as a reason for the kingdom to give you a title.”

“Yes, that’s true. It’s fine. I’m sure I’ll be able to make a contribution that can be openly acknowledged in the future,” Xun Yu smiled.

The people he wanted to use were not limited to those two great sects. It was fine to keep this merit for now. He did need a legitimate achievement that would allow Nan Tianchen to give him a title without any objection.
