Chapter 79: Helping Tian Shui's Main Team Members Improve Their Strength
Tian Shui Academy was no exception and had begun preparing for the team member selection within the school.
After the selection, they would undergo a two-and-a-half-year collective training specifically for the Soul Master Tournament.
However, Ye Wen, who knew the plot, was very clear about which seven or so future core members would be selected for the Tian Shui Academy battle team.
They were, starting with the team leader, Shui Bing'er, and vice-captain, Xue Wu, who could combine their martial souls for a fusion skill with high strength.
Then there was Shui Bing'er's younger sister, Shui Yue'er.
Along with the other four main team members, they were: Yu Hairou, Shen Liuyu, Gu Qingbo, and Qiu Ruoshui.
Three years later, the soul power levels of these seven main members of the Tian Shui Academy battle team were three Soul Sects and four Soul Elders.
Shui Bing'er was level 44, with two others at levels 41 and 42, and the remaining four had soul power levels ranging from 36 to 39.
One was a control-type Soul Master, one was a support-type, three were assault-type, one was a speed attacker, and one was a ranged attacker.
Looking at this lineup, it had one control-type, one support-type, and the rest were all battle-type Soul Masters. The team leaned more toward a strong assault lineup, but the overall strength was still decent.
The strength of this lineup in Tian Shui Academy wasn't that high because they lacked powerful amplification-type support. Xue Wu, the main support, was essentially a control-type support Soul Master.
With three assault-type, one speed attacker, and one ranged attacker, there was only one Soul Sect, whose battle power wasn't outstanding. It was nowhere near the strength of the strongest combatants like Thunder, God Wind, or Blaze.
Let alone compare them to the likes of Spirit Hall, Tiandou Royal Academy, or Xingluo Royal Academy.
So, Tian Shui Academy's strength relied heavily on Shui Bing'er as the core.
Shui Bing'er used her control skills to coordinate with the other core battle abilities to strengthen the entire team. Meanwhile, the fusion skill between Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu was also their trump card for victory.
But with this level, reaching the top four in the tournament would be far from enough!
If Ye Wen created his own academy to compete, his academy would definitely secure one spot in the top four.
The second powerful contender would definitely be Spirit Hall.
Shrek Academy, on the other hand, didn't need to worry. Ye Wen had already taken the Immortal Herb, and without it, truth be told, only Tang San from the Shrek Seven Devils would be able to keep up with this year's Soul Master Tournament.
The others, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, probably didn't even have one Soul Sect; most of them were around level 30.
Their strength was considerably weaker. But with Tang San there, they could barely make it to the top 16 or top 8, but certainly not the top four.
In fact, it was Xingluo Royal Academy that would be a tough opponent. With Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, two high-ranking Soul Sects, the rest of the members were almost all Soul Sect level.
Xingluo was much stronger than Tiandou Royal Academy. In Ye Wen's memory, it was at least the third strongest team after Spirit Hall and Shrek.
So, Xingluo Royal Academy would certainly have a spot in the top four.
This almost locked in three spots, making it very difficult for Tian Shui to make it to the top four. They would need to surpass Tiandou Royal Academy.
They would need to be stronger than God Wind and Blaze Academies, and even stronger than Thunder Academy, which had a natural advantage over Tian Shui.
So, the current strength of Tian Shui Academy made it difficult for them to reach the top four in the upcoming Soul Master Tournament.
However, Ye Wen was confident that within this year, he could help Tian Shui Academy's main team members improve their battle power to a level that would make it possible to reach the top four.
If necessary, he could give one or two Immortal Herbs to boost one or two members' strength even further.
"Alright, let's settle on this plan. If there's nothing else, we can disperse. I'm going to find Shui Bing'er," Ye Wen said as he stood up and left the room.
He then made his way to find Shui Bing'er.
He intended for Shui Bing'er to gather the future main team members so that, in their free time after classes and during weekends, they could train with Ye Wen, Xie Hu, Xiao Bai, Ice Emperor, and Snow Emperor.
Ye Wen and the other soul beasts were all water and ice element-based martial souls, carrying the memories of tens of thousands of years of soul beast history.
Their battle techniques and combat awareness were top-notch, so a year of training would drastically increase Tian Shui's main team's battle capabilities.
Secondly, they would deepen their understanding of martial souls and elemental control. Ye Wen and the others were also masters of elemental control.
Thirdly, they would work on improving their physical strength. They would ask the Titan Great Ape for help using its gravity control domain, which was the best method for strengthening the human body, as it could train all aspects of a Soul Master's physique.
This was even more effective than Zhao Wujie's gravity suppression.
Training under such gravity would also accelerate the speed of soul power improvement, as people often unlock their full potential when facing tremendous pressure.
With these few methods of training, Tian Shui Academy's future main team would easily improve by a level.
At this moment, Ye Wen had already found Shui Bing'er, and they were talking as they walked.
"Why are you suddenly acting so nice today, wanting to help us get stronger? Come on, did you do something bad?" Shui Bing'er asked suspiciously.
"What bad thing could I have done? I just want to help everyone," Ye Wen said, glancing at the alluring Shui Bing'er. He didn't mention yet that he planned to leave.
"Alright then, I'll let the others know. They should be very happy, and you can teach them to train," Shui Bing'er smiled.
Everyone knew that Ye Wen's teaching abilities, skills, knowledge, and cultivation methods were superior to even Shui Xiuzhen's. Most of the female students couldn't wait to be guided by him, and now they were happy to have him teach them for a whole year.
"Then it's settled. In the coming year, we can organize training whenever we have free time."
"Okay!"
Thus, Ye Wen, Xie Hu, Snow Emperor, and Ice Emperor began their year-long training with the main members of Tian Shui Academy, focusing on improving their strength.
But Ye Wen and the others' soul power was also rapidly increasing. Within two months, Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor, who had been stuck at level 19, finally broke through to level 20.
Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor both condensed their second soul rings. Ice Emperor's second soul ring was 3,000 years old, and Snow Emperor's second soul ring was 6,000 years old.
"Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, now you can absorb the Immortal Herbs I gave you."
"Hehe, we've been looking forward to this for a long time."
The two little beauties exchanged a smile and then simultaneously took out the Immortal Herbs Ye Wen had given them.
"Let's start."
"Okay."
Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor both consumed the Immortal Herbs, and their soul power began to surge once again.
Their levels started rising rapidly, one after another!
It was almost like Ye Wen's experience, where after condensing their soul rings and absorbing the Immortal Herbs, their soul power surged by nine levels in one day, reaching level 29.
