Good things happened early Saturday morning: Man Sui successfully broke through to the sixth level, which made the little fox jump for joy. Tu Keke was happy for her.
Tu Keke grew increasingly anxious. Her current cultivation focused on building a solid foundation in preparation for a breakthrough in the spring of March.
But is there really still time to wait until March?
Today, Yanluo and Chi Miaomiao arranged for everyone in the Ninth Squad to train together. All four student team members planned to take a break from school for a while to focus on cultivation and training.
When Yan Luo and the other person heard that they were going to the Ghost Hunting Bureau, Tu Keke and Man Sui also insisted on going, saying that they wanted to observe and improve themselves. Since they had nothing else to do, they decided to take them along. Xu Rongyue also wanted to go with them, as she could go see Xu Qinghe, who would train at the Ghost Hunting Bureau on weekends when he had nothing to do.
Xu Qinghe's life is now more fulfilling. He serves as the deputy captain of the 22nd squad and is also a teacher. He is very busy every day, and his salary has also increased.
Upon arriving at the Guangzhou Ghost Hunting Branch, Xu Rongyue dragged Tu Keke and Man Sui to find her sister.
After Yan Luo and Chi Miaomiao reunited with their teammates, they changed into their training uniforms and went to the Ninth Squad's special training room. It wasn't that the Ninth Squad had special treatment, but rather that their strength was so great that ordinary materials were hardly enough to support their training.
The training rooms for the Ninth Squad are all made of ethereal material, as only ethereal material can withstand the training of a ninth-tier team.
Xia Qianzhen didn't come to the Ghost Hunting Bureau with Zhong Jiudao; instead, she went home to play with Su Qing and Tu Yier.
Today's game is still the classic six against one, but the difference is that there are three little girls watching on the sidelines.
This was the first time Xu Rongyue had watched the Ninth Squad train.
When Yan Luo suddenly appeared and saved her and Tu Keke, Xu Rongyue was attracted by Yan Luo's handsome appearance. Later, she kept asking her sister to tell her the story of the Ninth Squad, which also made Xu Rongyue understand Yan Luo better.
Yan Luo is the youngest ninth-tier ghost hunter in the entire Longxia. At the age of eighteen, he had his own team, guarding Yangcheng. He is the guardian of Yangcheng and the guardian of Longxia, and his strength is extraordinary.
After spending a long time as friends with Tu Keke, Xu Rongyue gained a new understanding of Yan Luo.
Yan Luo is very gentle, always like a friendly older brother next door. Xu Rongyue was deeply attracted to Yan Luo, and probably everyone who likes Yan Luo is attracted to him in the same way.
While gentle, Yan Luo is also humorous and witty. Xu Rongyue still remembers when she was anxious, Yan Luo stood in front of her and said that he wanted her to be his girlfriend. Although she knew he was joking, Xu Rongyue was still very happy.
Before her eyes, Yan Luo's ability to fight six opponents at once seemed like a god descending to earth. Everyone's speed was extremely fast, and Xu Rongyue, who had not cultivated, could not keep up with their speed and felt only dizzy.
At home, Chi Miaomiao is usually easygoing and lively. Xu Rongyue didn't expect Chi Miaomiao to be so strong. She makes decisive moves and is agile, always able to launch some unexpected attacks.
If the opponent were a Shiki instead of Yanluo, then the likely outcome would be that Chi Miaomiao would shave off his head with a single slap.
The exhilarating battle made Xu Rongyue's blood boil, while Tu Keke and Man Sui shouted loudly, "Down with Yan Luo!"
The Ninth Squad's teamwork is getting better and better. Yanluo is also figuring out everyone's combat mindset during training with the team members. This way, when fighting side by side with everyone later, she can keep up with each person. Based on the principle of group fighting rather than one-on-one, she can better cooperate with everyone to kill the corpse demons.
Yanluo is the core of the team, the team's safety net, responsible for protecting everyone so that everyone can fight the enemy without any worries and play their greatest role.
Aside from the first squad, the other Tier 9 squads basically operate on this model: with the captain providing backup, everyone rolls up their sleeves and gets to work. Of course, they act rationally, not recklessly; nobody wants to lose an arm or a leg or end up dead in a box.
Man Sui wanted to test her strength after breaking through to the sixth level, so she went upstairs to change into a suitable training outfit and came down. Tu Keke and Xu Rongyue sat in the corner watching her.
The little pink-haired girl has a high fighting talent. She wields a fine steel longsword and works well with Zhong Jiudao and Xue Yunting, along with Xie Huai'an, to restrain the enemy from all sides.
Chi Miaomiao took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Yan Luo, but it was ineffective, as Yan Luo was able to thwart Chi Miaomiao's attacks each time.
Man Sui retreated to Fan Qianning's side, who was setting up a formation. After discussing a few words with Shuoguo Loli, Man Sui ran towards the opposite side of Fan Qianning, while Yan Luo and the others were in the center.
Man Sui emanated a faint blue light, and a huge column of water shot out as she swung her long sword. Fan Qian Ning also swung her Soul-Capturing Banner, unleashing a huge column of fire.
The water and fire pillars attacked the group entangled in the middle. Those who understood Fan Qianning and Man Sui's intentions immediately retreated. Yan Luo withstood the attacks of the fire and water pillars, and at the same time, the water and fire merged and spread out a cloud of water vapor.
The moisture obscured Yanluo's vision, which was the intended effect.
The greatest threat often comes from unseen enemies. Attacks from all sides did not overwhelm Yan Luo; in his eyes, they were all child's play.
Man Sui and the others did not intend to gain any advantage from the water vapor, but rather to stall Yan Luo as much as possible. Fan Qian Ning's formation was about to be completed, and they had to buy her some time.
Yan Luo flicked his hands, and the steam was swept away by the energy he generated, exposing Fan Qianning to him. Fortunately, Xue Yungan was there to shield Fan Qianning from the steam.
Xue Yungan was prepared to meet Yan Luo's attack, and just as he expected, Yan Luo appeared in front of him instantly and threw a punch. The powerful force forced Xue Yungan to block it with his shield, but he only staggered back a few meters, which was quite good.
Zhong Jiudao and the others took turns blocking Yan Luo in order to buy time.
Yan Luo realized their thoughts; if Fan Qianning used [Soul Stealer], then the training would be considered a failure.
A full minute of "Soul Stealing" would have surely killed a ghoul.
We cannot be held back.
As Yan Luo disappeared from everyone's sight, Chi Miaomiao, who had just recovered, shouted, "Up there, protect Ningning."
Without the slightest hesitation, Xue Yungan came to Fan Qianning's side to protect her, but Yan Luo did not intend to attack Fan Qianning, but rather everyone on the field.
Yanluo stood in mid-air, and eight bone spikes attacked the crowd with lightning speed. Only the four eighth-level people reacted in time, while the rest of the people below the eighth level were all knocked down.
Fan Qianning realized what was happening but couldn't run away; she was still setting up her formation and couldn't afford to stop.
Xie Huai'an swung the Soul-Hook Lock in her hand, firmly grabbing the bone spike that was attacking her sister, while she herself was struck by the bone spike and fell to the ground.
With her younger sister's sacrificial delay, Fan Qianning used all her strength to swing the Soul-Capturing Banner at Yan Luo.
"Soul-stealing!!"
Yan Luo's consciousness was instantly pulled into the illusion by Fan Qianning's [Soul Stealing], which marked Yan Luo's defeat.
The minute that Fan Qianning gained by exhausting all her strength would be absolutely worthwhile in a real battle.
