196: End and Test

Then, in the subsequent battles, Lin Heng showed them what it meant to say, “Nothing is impossible.”

In the arena, facing the Spirit Beast summoned by his opponent, a white tiger with black stripes on a white background appeared in front of the opponent.

Because of what Xu Yan had said earlier, whether he believed it or not, this team member, numbered 7, couldn't help but pay more attention when facing Lin Heng. As soon as the battle began, he didn't choose to test the waters but directly commanded his Spirit Beast to unleash its Domain.

However, the white tiger summoned by Lin Heng was clearly not a defensive counter-attacking Spirit Beast like Xu Yan's Xuan You, nor did it have any intention of experiencing the opponent's Domain.

The moment the Domain formed, the white tiger in front of Lin Heng directly raised its right front paw. It didn't choose to approach the opponent or anything; it just directly swiped down at the air in front of it.

As the tiger's paw swung, the newly formed Domain, which had yet to display any power or special effects, was instantly sliced into five parts, then rapidly dissipated, revealing the original battle arena once more.

Appearing along with it was the body of a Spirit Beast, divided into five parts and then rapidly dissipating in the arena.

From start to finish, the battle only lasted for the few breaths it took for Lin Heng's white tiger to raise and swing its paw.

This extremely swift battle once again astonished everyone present, and also brought immense joy to Zhang Che and the other five on Xu Yan's left, as well as Kong Ji and the other Coaching Team members.

The appearance of Xu Yan and Lin Heng was an absolute effective reinforcement for the current school team, allowing them greater room for maneuver in the upcoming University League and the opportunity to strive for better results.

After a brief moment to compose himself, he reiterated to Lin Heng the same reasons he had given Xu Yan earlier, also prematurely ending Lin Heng's challenge and setting his final ranking at seventh place. Afterwards, he announced to everyone that this school team selection had concluded successfully and instructed the team members to return to their training.

As for Xu Yan and the other new members who had joined the school team, they were told to return and wait. Over the next few days, the Coaching Team would contact them sequentially for a more specific strength test and to provide corresponding cultivation plans.

Watching the departing crowd, Xu Yan greeted Lin Heng, then likewise stepped into the Teleportation Array, returning to his dorm.

The school team didn't make Xu Yan wait long. On the morning of the second day after the school team selection concluded, Xu Yan received a message from Kong Ji, stating that if Xu Yan had no other commitments, he should go to Training Ground B7 in the afternoon for a more specific strength assessment.

Having no other commitments, Xu Yan replied with an acknowledgment, and in the afternoon, he arrived punctually at Training Ground B7 via the Teleportation Array.

Stepping out of the Teleportation Array, he found Kong Ji and several other staff members already waiting in the training ground, along with various testing equipment.

Seeing Xu Yan's arrival, Kong Ji quickly walked up to him. After a brief greeting, he directly said, “Xu Yan, I won't beat around the bush. Your performance during the school team selection has basically secured you a spot on the roster for the upcoming University League ahead of time.

The purpose of calling you here this time is to conduct a more detailed strength test for your Spirit Beasts, so that our Coaching Team can arrange them accordingly in the upcoming University League based on your strength.

As for privacy, you can rest assured. All staff present, including myself, have signed confidentiality agreements, so there's no need to worry about your information being leaked.

If there are no problems, please summon your Spirit Beasts so the staff can test them with the instruments. Of course, if there's anything inconvenient, you can also directly bring it up.”

Listening to Kong Ji's words, and then looking at the instruments behind him.

Hmm, as expected, he recognized all of them. He had a certain understanding of the functions of these instruments, and a large portion of them he had even operated himself.

After confirming that none of these testing instruments involved projects that he and his Spirit Beasts couldn't accept, Xu Yan nodded to Kong Ji, then activated his mental power to summon his Spirit Beasts.

With a flicker of thought, the six Spirit Beasts—Zhu Yan, Wuxiang, Xiong Nian, Chiming, Qinglan, and Xuan You—appeared before Xu Yan and Kong Ji.

Looking at the six Spirit Beasts with varying attributes, but clearly well-cultivated just from their size and condition, Kong Ji couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

As expected of the most talented student in the Cultivation Department of the Third Academy in recent decades. This level of cultivation alone was enough to create a significant gap in strength between his Spirit Beasts and those of the same rank.

After hisFeeling, he instructed the staff to test the six Spirit Beasts in front of them, then led Xu Yan to a nearby lounge to sit down.

“Xu Yan, while the test is ongoing, I also have a few things to say to you.

I have some connection with your mentor, having received a favor from him. Before the school team selection began, your mentor also contacted me, asking me to look after you if you successfully passed the selection.

Of course, this doesn't mean I'll favor you with school team resources or anything like that; school team matters will still follow school team rules. What I can do is speak to you frankly, and whether you take it to heart and whether it proves useful is entirely up to you.”

Xu Yan had already learned about the relationship between Kong Ji and Mo Yi from Mo Yi after passing the school team selection, and also knew that his mentor had entrusted Mo Yi to look after him. Thus, Xu Yan was not surprised by Kong Ji's words. After respectfully expressing his gratitude, he adopted an attentive posture.

“After the school team selection, due to your performance and Mo Yi's entrustment, the Coaching Team temporarily collected your public information and records from your awakening until now. We had notified you of this in advance and received your authorization.

Based on the information we collected and analyzed, the final results show that other aspects are fine, but there are some issues primarily concerning combat experience and mindset.

Regarding combat experience, although you've had many battles in secret realms and the Third Academy, there haven't been many true life-and-death combat situations. This has led to the combat style of your first three Spirit Beasts appearing somewhat soft and lacking ruthlessness and decisiveness to those who are truly seasoned in battle.

This isn't a major problem; it just means we'll add more combat training during the upcoming intensive training.

The main issue is your mindset. In my opinion, you are a bit too rule-abiding and too pure-hearted.”
