“Hu-ha… Hu-ha…” Sweat kept dripping down Fang Yuan’s face. He had actually won the race against the Forest Wolf.
In the past two months, he had almost brushed past death every day.
Not only him, but his pet beasts, especially Xiao Jin, had also achieved a huge improvement.
In the past, Fang Yuan still looked like a weak student, but now, he could run 20 kilometers in one breath. His figure could now compare to the Chinese action stars in his previous life. To be an excellent trainer, one actually had to have a good body to be able to support a strong mental power.
Now, Fang Yuan’s mental power had reached 12,000, twice the amount when he first entered the school. Now, he could support five platinum peak pet beasts fighting at the same time.
It was the same for Xinyu. When she was a freshman, she learned theoretical knowledge. However, because her talent was learning ability, she learned two trainer skills, “Topaz” and “Listening” under her poor mental power. In fact, it would not take long for her to be possessed by the unicorn’s consciousness when she used the “Topaz”.
Both of them were wearing extremely cool clothes because Huang Ying did not allow them to wear academy uniforms during training.
It was already late autumn. However, both of them had just finished their exercise and their bodies were drenched in sweat, so their clothes were not much different from the transparent ones. It was just that they were extremely tired now, so they laid on the beach and panted heavily.
“Today is the last day, right?”
“Yeah. Two months have pa.s.sed like a dream.”
“Heavens, please don’t have this dream again.”
Just as the young man and young woman were resting and chatting on the beach, the academy’s princ.i.p.al and four teachers were looking at a black dot on the map with solemn expressions. This dot seemed to be a living thing, sometimes big and sometimes small, flickering constantly.
Ouyang Xinglan sighed and said, “The expansion of the devil world is actually so fast. I wonder how the trainers at the front line are doing now.”
Sima Kaile, who had always argued with him, didn’t refute him anymore. If the Devil World expanded, then the outcome of those warriors who stopped the expansion of the devil world would be obvious.
Sima Kaile said, “If it expands further, shouldn’t we go to the front line together?”
“We can not.” Princ.i.p.al Shangguan said, “You all need to nurture a batch of elite warriors now. The quality of the new students this year is especially high. I believe that they are not inferior to the elites of the Devil World.”
Moreover…
He turned around to look at the picture frame hanging in the middle of the office and said, “When the Devil World really expands to an unstoppable stage, the role of our Heavenly Secret Pavilion will be revealed.”
Linghu Yiren closed his eyes at all times and smiled confidently as he said, “Why does the demon world appeared in our Fire Country? Has there been any similar situation in other countries?”
“Of course. Do you think that our intelligence agencies are to be trifled with?” Princ.i.p.al Shangguan said. “This is not a conspiracy of foreign countries against us, but a conspiracy of the demon world against the human world. As for the other countries which you mentioned, they are not our enemies, but our allies.”
Linghu Yiren smiled and said, “Yes, Princ.i.p.al, but don’t forget that besides dealing with the demon world, we also shoulder the responsibility of protecting Fire Country. If we really have to sacrifice ourselves, I can gladly accept it, but I hope to leave the hope of surviving to my students.”
Huang Ying had not said a word. In front of these big shots, he was the one with the lowest status and power. Only when he quarreled with Ouyang Xinglan could he show his presence.
Sure enough, Ouyang Xinglan turned his gaze to him and asked, “Huang Ying, do you have any objections?”
“My students have gone to the devil world to explore, and they haven’t returned yet,” Huang Ying said remorsefully. The reason why he had arranged for Xinyu and Fang Yuan to train freely in the past two months was because he had gone to look for the third and fourth year students, who had gone to the devil world and never returned. But the moment he stepped into the devil world, he discovered that the pet beasts and trainers of the devil world were even more powerful.
What surprised Huang Ying the most was that his students had become members of the demon world’s legion, and they had actually attacked Huang Ying, without the slightest regard for their teacher-student relationship.
He had not told anyone about all of this. After entering the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, it was normal for them not to contact their families for a few years. It it was because in the eyes of the outside world, Heavenly Secret Pavilion was a very mysterious university.
In actual fact, Heavenly Secret Pavilion was both a university and the front line of Fire Country’s battle against the demon world. That was why Heavenly Secret Pavilion was especially strict in recruiting students. The weak simply could not survive in this world.
…
Fang Yuan took a hot bath in his dormitory and even placed a little yellow duck in the bathtub.
He had discovered a strange thing. In the past two months, other than Xinyu, he had not seen a single person. The senior brothers and sisters that Xinyu had mentioned earlier had not returned. When he asked Xinyu, she did not know either. She only knew that they had gone out to gain experience.
The so-called training was to bring a pet beast to look for fortuitous encounters. Usually, they would be able to obtain materials to upgrade their pet beasts, equipment exclusive for pet beasts and if they were lucky, they could even obtain new pet beasts.
However, this was a school after all. Even if it was a fourth-year internship, they should still come back to the dormitory occasionally to take a look.
Fang Yuan vaguely felt that something had happened to them, and Huang Ying had gone to look for them.
Huang Ying had not come to look for them for the past two months. Every day, he would send messages to ask them about their progress, telling them not to slack off.
This made him feel even more suspicious.
However, he did not have any friendship with his senior or senior sister. He had not even met them, so he was not worried at all.
The only thing he cared about was that he felt that there was still a certain level of danger in Heavenly Secret Pavilion, which was completely different from other schools.
…
After taking a shower, he went to Xinyu’s dormitory to eat.
While he was chatting with Xinyu, a serious-looking Huang Ying appeared in front of them.
“Teacher Huang.” Xinyu immediately stood up, saluted and said, “We have successfully completed the mission!”
“Mm.” Huang Ying forced a smile. This small detail was captured by Fang Yuan, which confirmed that there was indeed a problem.
“Your mental power training will end here for now. As long as you have enough mental power for use, it is enough. When you have pet beasts above the star brilliance grade, your mental power will increase even faster.” Huang Ying was worried that Fang Yuan would mention the matter of his 1.3 million mental power again. In actual fact, Huang Ying’s mental power was not that strong. There was a special reason why it was shown as 1.3 million. Even the princ.i.p.al was not that high. He was worried that Fang Yuan would get into a dead end.
However, it was obvious that he was thinking too much. Fang Yuan only wanted to improve himself and did not care how much others were stronger than him. He had his own way of winning.
“I’m glad that you guys have completed the second year mental power training course. From now on, you guys are officially Huang group’s students.”
???
Weren’t they considered Huang group’s students before this?
“From tomorrow onwards, we will learn the skills of a trainer. I will formulate a method for you guys to become stronger. I will also set a small goal for you guys.”
“It is now September. Before December, I hope that your strongest pet beast will at least reach the peak of diamond!”
Huang Ying did not want to do this this either, but… he did not have time.
