59: sparring partner

Tuesday arrived, and Lin Shu woke up in his room.

At this moment, Hei Ye and Tu Yao were sprawled out sleeping by the bed like two puppies.

Tu Yao was emitting human-like snores, continuous and unbroken, though thankfully not too loud.

Fortunately, the room was large enough, and there was still ample space.

However, after two days of training, Lin Shu was still somewhat unsatisfied.

After all, the days of averaging 140 proficiency points per day in the Otherworld were too comfortable; now, returning to 45 a day felt a bit off.

The difference was like heaven and earth, and for a time, he couldn't avoid this feeling.

He needed to find an Otherworld space where he could continuously kill wild spiritual objects.

The more, the better, and it would be even better if the average level was a bit higher.

If such a place existed, Lin Shu was confident that he could complete Hei Ye's first evolution within this month.

Thinking too much was less effective than doing, so Lin Shu began to inquire among people on WeChat.

This included his mentor, Bai Sheng, Wu Song, and the principal.

These were all well-informed and influential individuals who should be able to help him find such a place.

He sent over his requirements; currently, no one had replied, perhaps they were considering if such a place existed.

Lin Shu wasn't in a hurry; this was also a way to plan ahead.

He woke up Hei Ye and Tu Yao, who were lying on the floor, and fed them high-grade nutrient solution and some spiritual objects.

Currently, his resources were still quite abundant, allowing him to spend freely and rapidly increase their levels.

Although his current rate of improvement already far exceeded that of his peers, Lin Shu still felt it was a bit slow.

Lin Shu pondered in his heart about what he currently needed.

The two little ones quickly finished their food, and Lin Shu took them to the equipment room.

The equipment room was very lively at this moment, with several senior students training enthusiastically.

Normally, they wouldn't come this early.

Gao Feng was also among them, which was normal.

Min Hu, Chu Xin, and Ling Shi were also there; it was only eight in the morning, and all members of the school team had arrived at the equipment room.

Seeing Lin Shu's puzzled expression, Min Hu began to explain to him.

"Tomorrow is the official start of the Binzhou Cup."

"The senior students have been intensifying their training and preparations these past few days."

Hearing this, Lin Shu finally remembered this matter; he had actually forgotten.

"So that's how it is."

Just then, Teacher Xu Liliang and Gu Zhenbang also arrived at the venue together.

Watching the few of them train diligently, they couldn't help but nod; they at least showed some attitude.

Gu Zhenbang then clapped his hands, signaling the four to come over.

Upon seeing the teachers, the few of them immediately stopped their machines and came to wait by the side.

"Well done, everyone. Tomorrow is the official start of the Binzhou Cup."

"What is our goal?"

"Top four!" * 4

"Very good. I've also had a general look at the starting rosters of other schools."

"Our strength is also among the very top of all schools."

"As long as we don't encounter any strong contenders for the championship."

"I don't think this goal is difficult."

This information was publicly released by some schools and couldn't fully reflect their strength, but it still had some value as a reference and could also boost his students' confidence.

The four of them all nodded, apparently having seen these materials and also having some thoughts about the goal of reaching the top four.

Perhaps they could really do it?

"Tomorrow's opponent is not particularly strong."

"But everyone, don't underestimate your opponent. I don't think I need to tell you the principle of a lion using its full strength to catch a rabbit."

"I have already applied to the principal for rewards; as long as we can reach the top four, you will receive them."

"I won't elaborate on the specifics, but I'm sure everyone will be satisfied."

"However, if the results are too poor, I think you all know my methods."

Goodness, this was hitting them with a stick and then offering a sweet date, but the allure of the mysterious reward was still very high.

The four of them were all very excited, and their fighting spirit gradually ignited.

Gu Zhenbang was also very satisfied to see such a scene.

He then looked at Lin Shu, then at Ling Shi, Chu Xin, and Gao Feng.

An idea formed in his mind.

The spiritual object levels of these four were 21, 24, 25, and 30 respectively.

This would serve as some training for the four members of the school team, and it was a four-on-four match, which would be very helpful for both sides in this kind of melee.

"Alright, Lin Shu, Ling Shi, Chu Xin, and Gao Feng, you few come over."

"I see that your spiritual object levels are quite good; you can serve as sparring partners for the senior students, which will help you understand some aspects of team battles."

"What do you all think?"

Lin Shu's expression didn't change; he just nodded. The other three looked at each other, all feeling there was some disparity in strength.

Of course, as sparring partners, they were sufficient.

Min Hu scratched his head awkwardly on the side; everyone else had something to do, while he could only watch. He was still too weak at the moment.

Oh, he could also serve tea and pour water... The four members of the school team also nodded, having no objections to this suggestion.

"That's good, since everyone has no objections."

"Let's go to the battle arena outside."

After saying this, he strode out of the equipment room and headed towards the adjacent battle arena.

Within Canglan No. 2 High School, only the school team had a high-standard battle arena that could meet the needs of team battles.

Everyone followed, and even Min Hu hurried along, wanting to join the fun.

Upon arriving at the battle arena area.

They were greeted by a huge area divided by blue lines.

The center of the field was the battle area covered in black dye, very large, about the size of four basketball courts.

"Teacher Xu and I will each lead a team."

"After a brief discussion of tactics, we can begin."

Xu Lihuang pushed up his glasses and came to the team formed by Lin Shu.

The official members would naturally be commanded and led by Gu Zhenbang.

Gao Feng's spiritual object, the Sky Feather Eagle, had a great advantage in air superiority; the opposing team had no flying-type spiritual objects.

It also happened to be the highest-level spiritual object in the team, so the core of this match still rested on him.

Chu Xin's Frost Battle Penguin, which had just evolved yesterday, could serve as an important front-line warrior, absorbing the opponent's firepower.

This would create space for the Sky Feather Eagle to attack from a distance. As for Lin Shu's Shadow Mantis, it could only act as an assassin for harassment.

Its level was too low to quickly finish off the opponent, which was a bit of a pity.

And Ling Shi's spiritual object was a Purple Ghost Poison Scorpion, which could also provide many auxiliary effects.

At first glance, the team lineup was quite reasonable, it was just that the levels were a bit low.

Otherwise, the outcome would not be so easy to determine.

He immediately told them his thoughts, explaining each person's role and also mentioning the opposing team.

"The core of the opposing team is the Lightning Spirit Cat; if we can target it, that would be best."

"It is also the main offensive method of the opposing team."

Upon hearing this, the four of them nodded, knowing they could only try their best, as the gap was still too large...
