Chapter 14: Winning Over the Team

Xie Yue stood there quietly, his gaze deep and contemplative.

In his battle with Yan just now, he had gone all out, yet he still lost.

Yan had not even displayed his full strength. The external soul bone Blazing Wings—remained unused.

Xie Yue knew that if Yan had truly unleashed those Blazing Wings, his defeat would have been even more decisive.

However, he did not feel discouraged or frustrated.

On the contrary, he was utterly convinced by this loss and even felt a surge of excitement.

Because he understood that only by fighting strong opponents could he grow faster.

Xie Yue smiled as he walked over to Yan, patted him on the shoulder, and praised him:

"Yan, you're truly strong. Looks like I'll have to work even harder, or I really won't be able to keep up with you."

Xie Yue had always been someone who could handle defeat.

His personality was straightforward and without pretense like a Mature kid.

Yan appreciated this quality in him.

He was willing to befriend people like Xie Yue and improve together.

"You're already very strong. That's why I lost to you so many times before. From now on, let's work hard together."

At that moment, the other team members gathered around, still reflecting on the intense battle they had just witnessed.

Sun Chuantao laughed:

"Boss, Brother Yan, you two are amazing! Four-ringed Battle Soul Masters are really on another level!"

Xie Yue grinned and encouraged him:

"Chuantao, no need to envy us. You're not far from level forty either. Train hard and strive for an early breakthrough."

"Don't worry, Boss. I won't slack off."

"Alright, you all should stop calling me 'Boss' now. It's time to change that."

As Xie Yue said this, his gaze unintentionally fell on Yan.

Everyone understood what he meant.

He looked serious, leaving no room for argument.

In the Spirit Hall Team, strength alone determined status.

After today's battle, Xie Yue deeply realized that the gap between him and Yan was not just a mere half level in soul power.

That was why he made such a suggestion.

Hearing her brother's thoughts, Hu Liena was unwilling to accept it.

"Brother, what are you saying?! You are the leader of our Spirit Hall Team—no one can replace you! Even if Yan won this time, you can't just say that!"

As she spoke, she turned her gaze toward Yan, her face filled with anger.

Her words were full of support for her brother and hostility toward Yan, as if Yan's victory was some kind of provocation against her.

But Xie Yue gently patted his sister's shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

"Nana, stop making a fuss. You should also change how you address him. Don't always call Yan by his name so casually. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have made it out of Death Canyon safely."

The other team members exchanged glances, unsure of how to respond.

They didn't know whether to intervene in this sibling dispute or simply stay silent.

Noticing the awkwardness and confusion among the group, Yan jokingly said:

"Nana is right! No one can replace you in everyone's hearts. You will always be the leader of the Spirit Hall Team. Losing this time doesn't mean you'll lose next time. If it makes you feel better, you can call me 'Brother Yan' until you defeat me—how about that?"

Yan's playful remark eased the tension in the air.

Everyone burst into laughter.

It was exactly what they wanted to hear.

The atmosphere immediately lightened.

Yan was a year older than Xie Yue, and now his strength surpassed him. Calling him Brother Yan seemed appropriate.

In everyone's eyes, Xie Yue and Yan had always been evenly matched.

However, compared to the bold and aggressive Yan, Xie Yue was more composed and steady, making him the more suitable leader.

Though Yan seemed to have changed recently, they weren't sure if it was temporary or a lasting transformation.

Besides, as the team captain, Xie Yue had always been responsible and deeply respected by his teammates.

Xie Yue scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Brother Yan, then it's settled."

"Alright. If you defeat me in the future, you can change it back."

"Mm."

Xie Yue glanced at his sister beside him.

"Nana, from now on, you should also call him 'Brother Yan'."

"Hmph~ I don't want to!"

Hu Liena pouted, looking completely unwilling.

Yan didn't mind at all.

Whatever Hu Liena did now wouldn't affect his mood.

His modest attitude just now had won over the entire team, and everyone respected him even more.

They felt that Yan had become much more approachable, no longer as intimidating as before.

At that moment, Xu Yu suddenly stepped forward, his face filled with concern.

"Boss, Brother Yan, you both worked hard just now. Let me heal you."

"Mm, alright."

Xie Yue and Yan exchanged glances.

Although they had only suffered minor external injuries during the battle, the fatigue in their bodies and the tension in their minds were undeniable.

Xie Yue, having fiercely fought against the Blazing Sand Prison, was more severely wounded. His arms and cheeks bore visible burns from the flames.

Xu Yu slowly released his martial soul. A golden scepter appeared in his hand, radiating dazzling light.

Around the scepter, two yellow and one purple soul rings floated and rotated gently, emitting a brilliant glow.

Golden light gradually flowed from the scepter, spreading outward until it completely enveloped Xie Yue and Yan.

Bathed in this golden halo, they felt a warm yet powerful energy seep into their bodies, like a fresh spring flowing through every corner.

Yan closed his eyes, savoring this miraculous energy.

It was as if a cool stream was coursing through his body, washing away his exhaustion and pain, replacing them with comfort and tranquility.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that his external wounds had completely disappeared, as if they had never existed.

Under Xu Yu's healing, both Xie Yue and Yan quickly regained their strength.

"Xu Yu, thanks."

"Brother Yan, no need to be so polite. This is my duty."

Just as they were basking in the lighthearted atmosphere, two figures slowly approached from the distance. Their silhouettes grew clearer and clearer.

Zhang Ping, who had sharp eyes, was the first to recognize them. She softly reminded her teammates:

"Teacher Lin and Teacher Liu are here."

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively turned in the direction Zhang Ping had indicated.

These two were the Spirit Hall Team's instructors—highly experienced and exceptional mentors.

Yan's memory held detailed information about them.

The older man with a graying beard was Lin Zhendong, the team's head coach. He was an Eighty-Five Rank Assault System Battle Soul Douluo, possessing the powerful Black Tiger Martial Soul.

The other man, who had a tall and refined figure, was Liu Can, a Sixty-Six Rank Agility System Battle Soul Emperor. His martial soul was a Leopard, granting him exceptional speed.
