Amon's team had already finalized its roster, and Ilya submitted the list.
Amon, Lei Yin, Bi Da'er, Romier, Bing Lan, Ilya, Yan Jin.
Student-organized teams also had an alternate slot, but Amon's team hadn't yet chosen anyone for it.
This list caused an uproar among the students, especially with Ilya's name on it, which was quite intriguing.
Although Ilya had long agreed to join Amon's side, she hadn't disbanded her previously formed team, maintaining the pretense of actively preparing for battle, catching the other three competitive teams off guard.
Besides that, some of the other names on the list were also surprising. Judging from their usual habits, it was hard to believe that these people would be on the same team.
Bing Lan always maintained a cold demeanor, acting alone and rarely interacting with others.
Romier was universally disliked; almost every student wanted to beat him up.
Lei Yin and Bi Da'er were relatively normal, but interestingly, they had once teamed up to beat up Romier!
The name Yan Jin was quite memorable, but the person hadn't been seen for a long time.
As for Amon... he had extremely low presence.
Seeing this name in a team with two scions of great aristocratic families, Ilya and Bi Da'er, most people's first reaction was:
Who is this? Is there such a person in the academy?
On the training grounds, Bu Leidi held the list that Luoyi had given him, his face unreadable. He said softly:
"I thought Bi Da'er had given up, but I didn't expect him to secretly play this card, getting involved with that woman Ilya. Does this mean that Marquis Fickless and Earl Tieshan intend to deepen their cooperation?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Bu Leidi's first thought wasn't about the academy competition's outcome, but about political matters.
In fact, the Northern Academy had excellent students. If they could truly integrate the entire school's strength and assemble the strongest team, they might be able to compete with the Five Great Elements Academies.
However, due to its special selection mechanism, internal friction was severe. In addition, the team leaders from these great aristocratic families were preoccupied with politics, interests, and connections, lacking the determination to move forward, making it difficult to achieve good results in the Soul Master Competition.
Luoyi scratched the back of his head, looking puzzled. "Are they serious? These people are strong, but they don't seem like they can cooperate at all. I feel like they're worse than Ilya's original team?"
He looked at the people around him and asked, "Has anyone seen them training together?"
"I, I have," said a young man in white.
He was the oldest student in the academy, and also very strong, having been invited by Bu Leidi to be their sparring partner.
"Cheng Shiyang, you've seen them?" Luoyi asked, looking skeptical.
Cheng Shiyang, wearing white, had a strange smile on his face:
"I've seen Bi Da'er and Lei Yin team up to beat up Romier, and Bing Lan once froze Romier into a ball and threw him into the river. Ilya also seemed to have a conflict with Romier, but she couldn't break his defense."
Bettman suddenly whistled. "If that counts as training, then I've also participated, but one thing must be admitted: that Romier's shell is indeed tough."
Bu Leidi clapped his hands and said:
"Although teamwork can't be developed in a short time, it's undeniable that their individual strength is powerful and shouldn't be underestimated."
"That woman Ilya wouldn't do anything meaningless or stupid. Since she chose this team, if there are no political factors involved, then it means that in her eyes, these people's individual combat power is enough to compensate for the lack of cooperation among the members."
"Of course, we don't need to be too nervous; we just need to do our own thing well. To perform better in the selection, we'll increase our training volume by 50% from now on."
"Eh?" Bettman groaned.
Bu Leidi ignored his team members' wails and looked at Cheng Shiyang. "Senior, do you have any problems?"
"Uh... no major problems, but since the sparring time has increased, then..."
"I'll double the sparring fee!" Bu Leidi said directly.
"Young master is generous!" Cheng Shiyang's face showed a sincere smile.
The intra-academy selection was a grand event for the entire Northern Academy. Besides the teams aiming to win, there were also other teams.
Some wanted to showcase themselves in the selection to secure better opportunities in the future, while others specialized in providing sparring services for others, earning money.
Cheng Shiyang belonged to the third type. He had gathered several older students like himself who couldn't participate due to their age and formed a sparring team.
Because they were generally older and stronger, they were the best sparring partners and were very popular. Bu Leidi offered a considerable price to have them serve him exclusively.
At this time of fluctuating emotions and noisy atmosphere, a spirited girl with white and red patterned clothes, long fiery red hair, and dark red eyes arrived at the school gate.
Looking at the long-missed campus gate, she took a deep breath and shouted, "I'm back! Did everyone miss me?"
Some newly enrolled students looked at this unfamiliar and beautiful face, their hearts skipped a beat, and they felt like they were in love.
The older students who had the good fortune to interact with Yan Jin before had a ghostly expression when they saw her, their hearts also skipped a beat.
At this moment, they remembered the terror of being dominated by lava and fists.
A second-year student went over and asked:
"Hello, beautiful lady, are you also a student of the academy?"
Yan Jin showed a simple and honest smile. "Hehehe, you praise me for being pretty... not bad, you have good taste."
She patted the boy's shoulder, acting as if he was very perceptive.
Although this reaction was completely different from what the boy had expected, he was still happy and felt like he had a chance.
"By the way, do you know any powerful students in the school? I want to exchange pointers with them?" Before he could react, Yan Jin asked.
So she's a very hardworking girl who likes to train... With this thought, the boy who was hitting on her smiled:
"To be honest, my strength is also quite good; I'm a formal member of a team in the academy's internal selection. If you don't mind, I can also exchange cultivation insights with you."
He showed a proud look on his face. Being a formal member of a team meant that his strength certainly surpassed that of ordinary students and was at the upper level.
"You?" Yan Jin glanced at him. Originally, she wanted to refuse, but then she thought that since he had praised her for being pretty, it seemed a little impolite to refuse directly, so she nodded.
Twenty minutes later, on the training grounds...
Rising heat, a melting arena, and a boy collapsed on the ground, his eyes vacant...
He wasn't injured, but he was frightened by Yan Jin's terrifying offensive, and for a moment, he thought he would be melted like the ground beneath him.
Some third-year students shook their heads and sighed. To take the initiative to exchange pointers with Yan Jin? How could he be so clueless... You should know that she likes to "mingle" with her classmates the most.
