Chapter 143: Chapter 120: The first gathering of the three disciples! Huazhu and Niudao give it a small try! _1

In the Super Spacious Training Room, a master and his three disciples meet for the first time.

Su Mei, Li Jingming, and Wang Xinfei all possess the Respecting Teacher’s Ring. With the ring activated, their original positions temporarily gain higher status.

E-class - Superior Level · Knight.

D-class - Superior Level · Bug Catcher

C-class - Superior Level · Horse Racing Knight.

From lower class to middle class, everything was in perfect order.

Ye Hanjun and Su Mei had been together for a while now, so they knew each other well enough.

However, the three disciples had no previous interactions with each other, so Ye Hanjun asked them to introduce themselves to each other to establish initial familiarity.

As expected, Li Jingming came from a decent background. His father was a minor rich merchant in the Blue Frog Kingdom.

Although their family assets couldn’t compare to the Wang Family, they were much better off than ordinary people.

As such, ever since he embarked on The Path of Controlling Spirits, Li Jingming didn’t need to worry about auxiliary resources, thereby focusing more efficiently on his own growth.

As for Wang Xinfei.

Although she didn’t lack in resources and her daily necessities and life-saving equipment were even higher end than Li Jingming’s.

She hadn’t laid a solid foundation in her past seventeen years.

Despite having access to resources that ordinary people couldn’t reach, she could have broadened her cognition.

She could have had a better understanding of the characteristics, skills, advantages and disadvantages of wild Fond Spirits... or the ability, weakness, and growth pattern of their positions...

But the knowledge she actually learned was just about equal to Su Mei’s. Compared with Li Jingming, who was steady, smart and very hardworking, the gap was apparent.

This was a weakness that couldn’t be ignored and needed to be urged to make up for.

In Ye Hanjun’s view, whether encountering an attack from a wild Fond Spirit or dealing with malicious human beings,

The more one understood, the more confidence they had to face dangers unfazed and respond calmly, thereby having a greater chance of ultimately becoming the victor.

"Alright, the introductions end here."

"Now you are all tied in the same boat. Support each other behind the scenes and continue to maintain a bland relationship on the surface, balance it by yourself."

"Yes," agreed Su Mei, Li Jingming, and Wang Xinfei, the three disciples responded all at once.

"Li Jingming, Wang Xinfei, have you tried the Death Challenge in the Gate of Life and Death in these two days?" inquired Ye Hanjun.

It’s been nearly two days since they returned to the academy. Based on the regularity of using it once every 24 hours, they should’ve experienced the "fake death" at least once.

"Tried it."

Li Jingming showed a hint of recollection, expressing his deep awe:

"The battle avatar in the Gate of Life and Death... is incredibly powerful!"

"My ’Ghost-Faced Moth’ and I came across a ’Red-eye Meat-eating Rabbit’ summoned by a Clay-based Illusion."

"With the advantage of flying and higher class, the earlier battles were very simple."

"But as the rounds continued to stack up, more and more Red-eye Meat-eating Rabbits swarmed us, and I began to feel helpless."

"Later, I was judged for ’procrastinating and unwilling to fight’. The rabbits piled up on each other, even though my moth and I kept flitting in the sky, we couldn’t avoid getting swamped..."

"Being trampled to death by ground-dwellers while in flight is indeed quite pitiful."

Ye Hanjun could feel that helplessness, which wasn’t much different from when the Pink Ostrich faced off against the Shield Armor Turtle.

Because disciples participate in the Death Challenge independently, the battle avatar drawn each time is always random.

One can imagine that because of their flying advantage, they would just fly to the sky when they couldn’t beat the enemy on the ground.

Li Jingming and his Ghost-Faced Moth were destined to be the combination that would trigger the killing mechanism the easiest, and the various shadows of death they will face in the future may not be few.

"I also experienced it once, and then I met a ’Conical Wolf’ created by a Great Completion Clay Body."

Wang Xinfei took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"In the first round, relying on Kui Kui’s sturdy armor, it was easy to defeat."

"In the second round, faced with two Conical Wolves, I was a bit injured, but it wasn’t a big deal."

"In the third round, I successfully defeated three Conical Wolves by relying on the new ability granted by the Respecting Teacher’s Ring."

"In the end, I stopped at the fourth round, where four Conical Wolves surrounded us. Coupled with the stacked injuries from previous rounds, Kui Kui took a hit to the head, and the battle stopped."

Ye Hanjun slightly nodded.

When she first entered the Trial Ground, the site where she descended from the sky was a wolf’s den.

It seems that Wang Xinfei met the battle avatar of the wolf leader that was killed by her bare hands.

However, being unable to proceed past the fourth round showed a somewhat weak combat prowess...

After considering this, Ye Hanjun began giving instructions to the three of them:

"Today is the first meeting, and I will plan the future growth for each of you. By setting up a unique plan, I will help your positions and Fond Spirits grow faster and more effectively."

"But before that, in order to familiarize you three with each other and reduce some barriers, let’s play a little game."

With a flash of yellow light, Huazhu, who had been contracting its body, stood straight and elegant beside Ye Hanjun.

"The three of you form a team. You can arrange your abilities, skills, and strategies as you wish and do your best to defeat me, as long as you don’t use any magical tools."

"If you think you can’t defeat me, then try your best to touch the hem of my clothes. If you can do that, there will be additional rewards for you."

As soon as he finished, the training room fell silent.

Su Mei, who was slightly stunned, shifted her gaze.

When her eyes fell on the Desert Witch, her mouth slowly opened, and her limbs became somewhat rigid.

Following Su Mei’s gaze, Wang Xinfei and Li Jingming both took a sharp breath, their chests felt as if they were pressed with a huge rock and could not fall back no matter what.

"This is... the Desert Witch?"
