Chapter 83 The Mentors' Worries
"Even if Zuo Chen is wearing a pendant shaped like a Kunpeng, it doesn't mean that he released the real Kunpeng, does it?" Instructor Chang's rebuttal was tinged with guilt.
Everyone here is a human sperm that has lived for hundreds of years. Anyone could guess that it was strange for Ah Chen to pull out a necklace during such a fierce battle.
However, You Kunpeng did not continue to argue with Instructor Chang, but smiled and said, "I was just guessing."
Moreover, even if Zuo Chen could actually summon a Kunpeng cub, it wouldn't be considered a violation of the rules.
After all, as we mentioned in the initial prompts, the rule for this competition is—there are no rules.
Even if this Kunpeng cub was a gift from Zuo Chen's elders and our system failed to detect it, it is reasonable for him to be carrying it.
Moreover, unlike Meng Hanhai, he did not use the high-level shield bestowed by his elders from the very beginning.
Instead, it persisted until everyone else could no longer hold on before summoning the young Kunpeng, scaring away the remaining Black Fiend Falcon flock.
Moreover, this Spirit Realm Trial was already beyond the limits. Wasn't our original plan to wait until the children couldn't hold on any longer, then throw in a swarm of Tier 3 Green Poison Bees to drive away the Black Shark Flamingos?
“Exactly! These kids have already exceeded our target of killing thirty more than we anticipated,” Long Qiushuang, the combat department head, chimed in.
She was especially happy today because nine of the twenty people who passed the second stage were from the combat department.
Although four were lost due to Meng Hanhai's miscommand after entering the Spirit Realm, weren't there still five left?
Furthermore, in the previous battles, all five of them displayed exceptional bravery; not one of them was a coward!
The only drawback was that Zuo Chen from the talisman-making class performed so well that he overshadowed the combat class.
However, there's nothing to be jealous of. After all, Zuo Chen is someone that all the department heads have their eyes on, but he was tricked into going to the Talisman Making Department by that shameless Instructor Chang.
Judging from Zuo Chen's spectacular battles along the way, he was simply born to fight, and he was no less capable than those children who started wielding swords at the age of three.
Not to mention the giant net of divine sense he constructed, which trapped hundreds of fourth-tier raptors. Even if it was only for a short while, it was enough to make him stand out among all the students.
Seeing that everyone had tacitly accepted that A-Chen was carrying a mythical beast cub with him, Instructor Chang stopped defending him.
After all, the child summoned the divine beast cub to help everyone, not just for his own benefit.
In this respect alone, he far surpasses Meng Hanhai of the combat department.
"Time waits for no one. The gray fog is invading faster and faster. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had to force these children to grow so quickly and send them to the Spirit Realm for trials so early," the dean sighed.
"Isn't that right? I just hope that when the gray fog fully invades, our Ten Directions Academy can preserve a group of outstanding talents," said Instructor Chang.
"Hey! If you ask me, there's no need for you guys to be so sentimental. If it really comes to that, the worst that can happen is death. Losing your head is just a small scar, what's there to be afraid of?" Long Qiushuang said, waving her fist.
Everyone laughed, looking at this iron lady, feeling that she was more courageous than most of the men among them.
The sixteen-person team in the Spirit Realm was completely unaware of the worries and concerns of their mentors; they were currently facing a vast expanse of mud and swamp, deep in thought.
Since everyone here is a cultivator, a swamp shouldn't be a problem for them at all. They could easily get through by flying on their swords or using a teleportation talisman.
But this swamp is special. You can use spiritual power at the edge of the swamp, but not even a leaf can float across the center of the swamp.
They witnessed Ah Chen wrap a leaf in a teleportation talisman, activate it, and then the talisman teleported to the center of the swamp, where it floated gently down into the mud, along with the leaf.
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat when they saw that scene.
If Ah Chen hadn't wasted a teleportation talisman beforehand to conduct this experiment, they might have fallen into the swamp halfway through their flight on their swords.
Moreover, they had no idea what kind of ferocious beasts were lurking beneath the swamp.
