Tang Qing's words precisely struck at their deepest desires!
Only number one!
One of the trainees couldn't help but raise his arms and shout.
His voice was like the fuse that lit a powder keg.
"Only first place!!"
Only number one!!!
Thousands of students shouted in unison, their voices surging into a torrent that soared into the sky, making the entire square buzz.
The light in their eyes was so intense it could melt steel!
Xue Qinghe, standing behind Tang Qing, was startled.
As she gazed at the man's retreating figure, she felt that the aura of dominance and self-importance emanating from him was so dazzling, so... captivating.
There is no second in the dictionary, only first.
What a perfect example of "only number one"!
This man is truly domineering to the core!
A strange light flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes.
She, Qian Renxue, the future Goddess of Angels, is destined to conquer a man like this!
...
Two beautiful figures stood out among the enthusiastic crowd below the stage.
One of them was wearing a bright green student uniform, with long hair of the same color braided into a scorpion braid hanging down his back.
With a stunning figure and gorgeous face, she is none other than Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
The girl beside her wore a white dress that accentuated her slender figure, with her long, straight legs peeking out from under the hem.
She has long hair, delicate and beautiful features, and a quiet temperament. She is Ye Lingling, the Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master.
Ye Lingling was looking up at Tang Qing on the stage with her pretty face upturned, her beautiful eyes filled with shock, and she was muttering to herself.
"There is no second in the dictionary, only first..."
These words stirred up a tidal wave in her heart.
"Moreover... this Blue Silver King looks to be about the same age as me, how can he be so powerful, so... domineering."
She turned her head to look at her best friend, Dugu Yan, and couldn't help but ask.
"Yanyan, your grandfather is a subordinate of the Blue Silver King. Tell me quickly, what kind of person is this Blue Silver King?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan withdrew her admiring gaze, a sense of pride and honor appearing on her face.
She lowered her voice and asked, "What kind of person?"
"I'll only tell you one thing: my grandfather, the mighty Poison Douluo, couldn't even last a single move against the King."
Ye Lingling's pupils suddenly contracted.
Dugu Yan looked at the figure on the stage who captivated her, and continued speaking.
"In my opinion, this Blue Silver King is the most outstanding and powerful man I have ever seen. Looking across the entire continent, there is no one of his age... no, there is no one at all who can compare to him."
"He is like the sun in the sky, the most dazzling presence wherever he is."
Dugu Yan's tone was filled with undisguised admiration.
Her captivating peach blossom eyes were fixed on Tang Qing, as if she wanted to etch his image deep into her soul.
Ye Lingling was completely shocked.
Defeat Poison Douluo in one move?
Just how terrifying is the Blue Silver King's strength?
Dugu Yan clenched her fists, her eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.
"Lingling, did you hear that? The King just said that anyone who can get into the top three in the academy competition will have the opportunity to become his personal disciple!"
"I believe that with our talents, we can definitely secure two of those spots!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's eyes lit up instantly.
Become the Blue Silver King's apprentice?
That is the glory that every young soul master on the entire continent dreams of!
A thought suddenly struck her, and she realized a crucial point.
"I've heard that... the Blue Silver King's martial soul contains a vast life force and is of the life type."
My Nine-Heart Begonia is a healing-type, so if... if I could become its apprentice, that would be wonderful!
The thought of receiving personal guidance from this strongest person on the continent made Ye Lingling's heart race involuntarily.
However, just as the two women were looking forward to the future, a slightly spoiled and annoyed voice suddenly came from behind them.
"There are only three spots available, and you two are asking for two?"
"Hmph, you'll have to ask me first, whether I agree or not!"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling turned around upon hearing the sound.
A girl wearing the same uniform but with a completely different demeanor stood with her arms crossed, looking at them with a hint of arrogance on her pretty face.
The girl had short pink hair, delicate features, fair skin, and a tall, straight figure. Her long, shapely legs were particularly eye-catching under her uniform skirt.
It was none other than Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Ning Rongrong?"
Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow; she naturally recognized this young woman from a prestigious family.
Ning Rongrong gave a light snort, strode forward with her long, straight legs, and met Dugu Yan's gaze without showing any weakness.
"What, is that not allowed?"
"The teacher's personal disciples are naturally reserved for the most capable. You two want to take them all with you? You're really disrespecting others."
Dugu Yan was known for her fiery temper, and she was about to retort immediately.
Just then, on the platform, the figure who had always attracted everyone's attention made a move.
Tang Qing slowly raised his right hand and pressed it down lightly.
With just a simple gesture, the deafening roar of the crowd instantly fell silent.
In a square with tens of thousands of people, you could hear a pin drop in an instant.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on him, waiting for him to continue.
Tang Qing's indifferent gaze swept over the freshmen below the stage, and his voice rang out again.
"There are less than three months left until the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies."
"Over the next three months, the academy will organize an internal competition to select seven team members to form the Blue Silver Team and represent the academy in the final battle."
He paused, his gaze lingering briefly on the directions of Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong.
"Those who rank in the top three in the final points can become my disciples and be my personal students."
These words ignited a fire in the hearts of all the trainees.
If before it was just a vague and distant hope...
Now, Tang Qing has clearly laid out this path to the peak before them!
"also..."
Tang Qing changed the subject, his tone becoming slightly playful.
"The three who become my disciples will not only receive my personal guidance, but each of them will also receive a special reward."
"A reward... even more precious than a soul bone."
"boom!"
The crowd erupted in chaos.
More precious than a soul bone?
What does that even mean?!
For Soul Masters, Soul Bones are the most coveted treasures, supreme objects capable of turning fathers and sons against each other and brothers killing each other.
But now, the Blue Silver King is saying that the reward he gives to his disciples is even more precious than a soul bone!
What a masterpiece! What a grand vision!
