Chapter 40: Get Ready

"You should also prepare Fan Lin. You will be playing next when they all finish."

"????" Zeng Xin. He blanked for a moment as he thought that he won't have to fight again after defeating their leader.

But he didn't say anything. And after a while, it was over. Dai Mubai and Zhuqing both lost against the combination of Ma Hongjun and Oscar and Ma Hongjun and Ning Rong Rong as he had never fought against them in a team.

The fight between Tang San and Xiao Wu was a tie.

After the fight, everyone again gathered in front of Grandmaster.

The Grandmaster said in a deep voice :

"In these few battles, except for Tang San and Zeng Xin, you all disappointed me."

"Dai Mubai, you know that Oscar is an auxiliary system spirit master. But why did instead of first eliminating an auxiliary system spirit master you fought against Ma Hongjun, giving Oscar the chance to give his sausage to Ma Hongjun?" Grandmaster harshly berated Dai Mubai. On the other side hearing, this Ma Hongjun puffed up his chest as he looked in Dai Mubai's direction provokingly.

"And you Ma Hongjun and Oscar, you two also don't be proud. Ma Hongjun when you are fighting in a team with an auxiliary system spirit master, what should be your importance is to protect him and not letting your opponent easily approach him. But instead of protecting him, after getting sausages you rushed off to fight Dai Mubai?" Grandmaster immediately also berated Ma Hongjun seeing him acting proud.

"Tang San, do you know where you lost? In the fight against Xiao Wu, you were immediately charmed by her as soon as the fight started even though knowing about her ability. You were careless." Grandmaster explained slowly. Xiao Wu at the side was giggling as she put her tongue out and teased Tang San.

"Xiao Wu, your third spirit ability is 'Teleportation'. It can be said that you were the bane of Tang San but were caught in his Cobweb Binding. When you used Teleportation and immediately used your Waist Bow, why did you relax your vigilance?Giving Tang San a chance to use his third spirit ring ability." Grandmaster berated Xiao Wu as he saw her making face and teasing Tang San.

"You're a student of the monster academy. You all should have been monsters but now looking at all of your situations, I can't say that you all fit the category to be called 'Monsters'. The only advantages you all have against the other spirit master is your inherently strong spirits. I bet you can't defeat those seasoned and experienced spirit master who has battled spirit beast for a long time."

Everyone heads were lowered in shame. They knew that what Grandmaster was saying was true and they can't say anything in response.

"As punishment for today's mistakes, I've prepared a basket with stones for all eight of you. Originally I wanted you all to carry those basket in your backs and do ten laps in a row." Grandmaster said as his eyes are sharp as he continued, " But you all can escape this punishment, if you managed to do one thing."

Everyone ears immediately perked up as they looked at Grandmaster with curious gazes. Grandmaster looked at Zeng Xin, who immediately felt that something was wrong but before he can even say anything, Grandmaster eyes flashed for a moment as he said :

"You all can avoid the punishment, only if, you all managed to defeat Fan Lin."

"....." Everyone.

"..." Zeng Xin.

Everyone looked at Grandmaster with looks saying that 'Are you kidding!'

'Defeating that monster was not possible for any one of them.'

"Teacher, do we have to fight Brother Lin now? But none of us can beat him and our spirit power is also exhausted right now?" Xiao Wu pouted.

Everyone else also nodded in agreement. Even though they were proud and won't admit defeat easily, but they know their limits. Fighting against Zeng Xin who can fight against teacher Zhao Wuji evenly without using his spirit ability, don't talk about fighting as Zeng Xin was already at a different level compared to them.

"Who said you are fighting individually? I mean you seven of working together to defeat him. Not one but all seven of you. This is the ultimate goal I set for you seven as a whole." Grandmaster said plainly.

Everyone interest immediately piqued. Though they knew they can't defeat him individually but if seven of them fight together, they still have a chance. Tang San had also became interested as he also can't defeat Zeng Xin even after using all his hidden weapons.

Seeing everyone still silent. Grandmaster again spoke :

"Why, can't you all seven beat a single person at the same level as yourself?"

Everyone immediately straightened up and looked at Grandmaster with confidence.

"Then, after recovering your spirit power, the seven of you will be fighting against Fan Lin. If you win, the punishment will be exempted."

All seven of their eyes opened wide, as they all felt that they all were a little underestimated except Tang San.

But the rest of them felt like a fire has been ignited in their hearts.

Do Grandmaster looked down on them too much?

Anyway, they are all seven monsters and if they can't manage a single person, they should just stop cultivating.

Although every single one of them knew about Zeng Xin's strength but they still have the confidence to defeat Zeng Xin .

Moreover if they won, they would be exempted from the punishment.

This immediately made their fighting spirit soar which has almost been depleted.

"Defeat him? I don't believe that if we seven of us together can't defeat Fan Lin." Ma Hongjun walked out swaggeringly as he said, , "Brother Fan, it's not personal but don't blame me for not being polite later."

Ma Hongjun knew that he was no match for Zeng Xin but there were seven of them, he didn't believe that they can't defeat him.

"Brother Lin. I won't hold back." Xiao Wu said in a small voice.

"Zeng Xin, you're done." Dai Mubai stood up and said with his usual arrogant tone, "Hmph, wait till you're beaten later."
