Yan Luo has four thick bone spikes on his back. When he repelled Zhong Jiudao and Xue Yunting, he manipulated two of the bone spikes to chase after them, while the remaining two protected him. Chi Miaomiao's attack was easily blocked.
Chi Miaomiao naturally didn't intend to gain any advantage from Yan Luo with this attack. In just a moment, Xie Huai'an unleashed a chilling burst of icy energy that froze Yan Luo's entire body, including his bone spurs.
The freezing time of Xie Huai'an's eighth-level cold aura has increased. It has been tested in previous training that it can freeze a ninth-level opponent for two seconds. Two seconds is neither long nor short. It is not enough to kill the opponent, but it is enough to seriously injure the opponent.
Xie Huai'an wouldn't use this move lightly; it consumes a lot of energy and is only used when he's confident he can seriously injure or kill the opponent.
This is just training; of course, you can use it however you like.
Two seconds, a breath, and Zhong Jiudao and Xue Yunting appeared in front of Yanluo with incredible speed. As cracks appeared in the ice, their weapons were already aimed at Yanluo.
During this period, Xue Yunting and her brother advanced from the peak of the sixth rank to the seventh rank, with a significant increase in speed and strength. Xue Yunting was gradually able to keep up with Zhong Jiudao's pace.
To be honest, Zhong Jiudao felt quite upset. His talent was insignificant compared to the younger generation. Chi Miaomiao and the twin sisters had reached the eighth rank one after another, while Zhong Jiudao had been stuck at the peak of the eighth rank for a long time. Xue Yunting and her brother had also slowly caught up.
It's believed that they will catch up with everyone soon. Yanluo's Ninth Squad is gradually catching up with the old-brand ninth-tier squads. The Ninth Squad was established in the last three years, so it's understandable that its strength is not strong.
The perspective shifts back to the training session, where Zhong Jiudao swings his longsword toward Yanluo's neck, while Xue Yunting thrusts her spear straight toward Yanluo's heart—these are the two weak points of the corpse demon.
Once the head is severed and the heart is ruptured, the ghoul will die immediately and completely. According to data records over the years, some ghouls may recover even if their heads are severed but their hearts are not ruptured, so ghoul hunters must finish them off.
Only by completely eliminating the root of the problem can we prevent future troubles; this ancient truth is deeply ingrained in people's minds.
The weapon struck Yanluo, causing cracks to appear in the ice on her body. The bone spikes behind her were the first to break through the ice, barely managing to block the attack. Yanluo managed to escape the ice and get away from the group, giving herself a chance to catch her breath.
Yanluo's simulation was very accurate, and everyone learned a lot from training with Yanluo.
This failure to defeat Yanluo also marked the failure of the training. Opportunities often only come once, and if you don't seize them, there won't be a second chance.
Yan Luo gave Xue Yungan no chance. In an instant, the four bone spikes transformed into one incredibly thick bone spike, sweeping away Xue Yungan who was raising his shield to defend. After learning magic, Fan Qianning became even more powerful. The moment Xue Yungan was knocked away, several huge fireballs rushed straight towards Yan Luo's face.
The purpose of magic for Fan Qianning was to delay the enemy's attack. Xue Yungan was her first line of defense, and magic was her second. Yan Luo nimbly dodged the fireball and suddenly appeared in front of Fan Qianning, startling her.
Everything happened incredibly fast. In just a few seconds, Yan Luo was in front of Fan Qianning. Fan Qianning had no way to resist. The killing formation needed time to be set up, which meant that everyone had lost.
Yan Luo pulled Xue Yungan, whom she had slammed against the wall, to his feet, brushed the dust off him, and nodded affirmatively at him.
Xue Yungan at the seventh rank is very powerful, but he is still not strong enough to face a ninth-rank opponent. This is not a novel where you can fight across ranks. Only by cooperating with teammates can you win the battle and go home alive.
Everyone had a premonition that the Corpse Demon Organization was about to make a move, but no one knew when. The Xue siblings were all training desperately, which made Zhang Bichen, who lived with them, feel very sorry for them.
You won't grow if you're not ruthless to yourself; your enemies will only be ruthless. You must fight desperately to gain a chance of survival in battle.
Yanluo's simulation training was more rigorous than that of ordinary ninth-tier corpse demons, and everyone had indeed improved, which made Yanluo very gratified. He didn't expect everyone to make significant breakthroughs, but their growth was something to be very happy about.
The Xue siblings have lived up to everyone's expectations. It's not easy for them to go from the fifth rank when they first joined the team to the seventh rank now. Yanluo is proud of them.
The team is now working together very well, and this excellent teamwork can offset many problems, such as the issue of skill level.
After giving some pointers to the group, Yan Luo and Zhong Jiudao sat aside and watched them train. Zhong Jiudao was visibly disappointed, which was understandable.
Each generation is stronger than the last, and Zhong Jiudao felt sad that he had not been able to break through for so long.
Yanluo knew the reason.
Zhong Jiudao has never been able to move on from the past. He is still stuck on the night his wife and daughter were brutally murdered. His virtuous wife and lovely daughter were swallowed by the corpse demon. This is his inner demon.
Zhong Jiudao resented his former weak self, but nothing could be undone. Unable to move on from the past, he couldn't break through his limitations or wholeheartedly face Xia Qianzhen.
He was still somewhat dazed, having inexplicably met Xia Qianzhen, inexplicably been slept with by Xia Qianzhen, then inexplicably ended up together, and even inexplicably had a child.
It's not that Zhong Jiudao treated Xia Qianzhen badly; he just couldn't completely break free from the past.
Yanluo couldn't offer him any advice.
Zhong Jiudao understood the reasons, but he was in pain because he couldn't move on. Half of Zhong Jiudao's heart belonged to Xia Qianzhen, and the other half to his deceased wife and daughter; such a heart could not break free from its constraints.
Only Zhong Jiudao himself can figure it out and break free from this predicament in order to reach the highest level.
Yan Luo patted Zhong Jiudao on the shoulder. Neither Yan Luo nor Zhong Jiudao spoke; they understood each other's meaning.
Zhong Jiu forced a smile and gave Yan Luo a strained one.
"Little Luo, want to do it again?"
Yan Luo smiled and nodded, then stood up, ready to torment everyone a second time.
Meanwhile, Su Qing and the others, having picked up Xia Qianzhen, drove to Sinclair Zoo.
Tu Yier and Xia Qianzhen sat in the back row. Tu Yier was very happy to be able to go out and play with Xia Qianzhen. Xia Qianzhen also liked Tu Yier very much. Children are often amazing. Last time, Tu Yier said that the child in her belly was a girl, and Xia Qianzhen chose to believe her.
Su Qing was driving. She glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Xia Qianzhen playing with Tu Yier.
"Xiaxia, have you experienced any discomfort since becoming pregnant?"
Xia Qianzhen and Tu Yier paused for a moment, and she shook her head at Su Qing in the front row.
"I just feel a little nauseous, but otherwise I'm fine."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Huang Jindie found it hard to believe that Xia Qianzhen, who was two years younger than her, already had a child. It seemed unbelievable.
Su Qing looked ahead and continued, "You and Brother Jiudao will be living together. If you need any help, just call us. Don't be shy."
