Chapter 318: Return, Before the Assessment

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After calming Fang Youli down, Xu Ning gathered his three in-name disciples around him.

"All of you have made great progress over the past two months. I am very satisfied."

Xu Ning first expressed his affirmation of their progress. "Over the next four months, I hope you can all break through to the astral qi realm, but it is best to break through to the origin returnance realm."

Not long after they advanced to the dao realm, he had set a goal for them to break through two realms in a row for the next four months.

If outsiders heard this, they would definitely think it was wishful thinking.

But the three of them did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.

Xu Ning had refined special medicinal pills according to each of their own unique circumstances. In addition to Xu Ning's deep understanding of martial arts, he had carefully guided them over the past two month, affirming their belief that they could fulfill Xu Ning's expectations.

"Yes, Master!"

The three responded confidently.

Afterwards, the three of them returned to the Small Tree World.

"Xu Ning, you have to take Fang Youli's issue seriously…"

Zhang He's expression was a little serious.

"I know."

Xu Ning nodded. "Over the past two days, I have begun to develop a pill that can restrain his instinctual outburst."

Both Zhang He and Xu Ning knew very well that Fang Youli was the most likely candidate to have an exceptional performance during the assessment.

Time flew by.

Another four months went by.

"Half a year is up…"

Xu Ning stood on the top of a mountain. Everything below was covered in white snow.

"It's time to return to the Core Sea Demon Sect…"

Xu Ning called his three disciples out of the Small Tree World.

"Master."

Fang Youli, Bian Huang, and Ling Jie bowed respectfully.

Compared to half a year ago, the temperament of these three disciples had changed greatly.

Over the past four months, the three of them had reached the third stage of the dao realm.

Among them, Fang Youli was the first to advance, while Ling Jie was the slowest.

This advancement speed was even faster than Xu Ning back then.

After all, Xu Ning did not have enough resources at that time. He had obtained all of his resources through his own exploration and adventures.

But these three people had an unlimited amount of resources, and additionally, they were guided personally by him.

Of course, this was only because they were in the elementary level of dao realm, that's why Xu Ning could make them improve so quickly.

But once they reached the mid level of dao realm, their advancement speed would inevitably slow down. Even if Xu Ning gave them as much guidance, their advancement speed would not be as fast as before.

"Half a year has passed, it is time to return to the Core Sea Demon Sect and wait for the assessment."

Xu Ning glanced at the three of them.

After Xu Ning finished speaking, the three of them shivered.

After cultivating for half a year, it was time for them to show what they were capable of.

The three of them were under tremendous pressure. Among the three, Fang Youli was in a better state as he was carefree as always, but Bian Huang and Ling Jie felt pressured.

They all knew that their performance would directly affect their master Xu Ning.

It could even determine the future of the top circles in State Wansheng.

This kind of pressure made them feel a little suffocated.

"Relax your mind."

Xu Ning also noticed their mental state.

He said comfortingly, "There is no need to feel any pressure. I don't care about being the sect master of the Core Sea Demon Sect. You just have to do your best and live up to your efforts. Even if you don't get a good result in the end, I won't blame you."

These words touched the three of them.

"Master, we will do our best!"

Bian Huang cupped his fists and said firmly.

"We will definitely not disappoint you!"

Ling Jie also gritted her teeth.

"Me too."

On the side, Fang Youli raised his head and puffed up his chest, his eyes shining in anticipation.

The situation of Fang Youli losing control was now under control.

Four months ago, after Fang Youli and Bian Huang fought and the former injured Bian Huang, Xu Ning had developed a pill that targeted Fang Youli's loss of rationality.

Before a battle, as long as Fang Youli swallowed this one pill, he would be able to maintain his rationality.

Although this was merely curing the symptoms and not curing the root of the problem, it was the best solution right now.

Caw!

A cry rang out.

Zhang He arrived on a mid level dao realm flying demon beast.

He had already put away the Small Tree World.

"Let's go."

Xu Ning said and jumped onto the back of the flying demon beast.

Fang Youli and the other two followed closely behind.

The flying demon beast turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the falling snow.

…

A few days later.

"We are back!"

Xu Ning and the others finally returned to the island where the Core Sea Demon Sect was located.

"The three of you, follow me to see Elder Wei."

Xu Ning called Fang Youli, Ling Jie, and Bian Huang to follow him and find Elder Wei.

"Elder Wei!"

Xu Ning greeted Elder Wei.

"Xu Ning?"

Elder Wei glanced at the three disciples behind Xu Ning with a surprised expression.

Three origin returnance realm masters.

One had to know that half a year ago, the two of them were only in the void realm ninth stage, while the remaining one was in the void realm eighth stage.

"It seems that your ability to train disciples is also first-rate."

Elder Wei chuckled.

"Elder Wei is too kind."

Xu Ning smiled.

"There are still ten days before the final assessment day. So far, no one has returned except for you."

Elder Wei said.

"No one is back yet?"

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows. "It seems that they are all taking the final sprint."

"The competition between your disciples will be held at the Island Heart Peak in ten days. At that time, not only will the Sect Master attend, the Grandmaster will also be there."

Elder Wei said.

In State Wansheng, the only person called the Grandmaster was Duan Huiye from the Duan imperial family.

"The Grandmaster will also attend?"

Xu Ning was a little surprised.

When he had gone overseas for the previous operation, Xu Ning had seen Duan Huiye once when he appeared for a short moment.

Duan Huiye's aura back then gave Xu Ning a huge shock.

When Fang Youli, Bian Huang, and Ling Jie heard this, the pressure on them increased.

The Grandmaster was the strongest person in State Wansheng. He was a legendary figure.

In a few days, they would be stared at and judged by him.

This made their hearts pound.

"Your disciples have good foundations. Maybe there are surprises this year."

Elder Wei added before falling silent and recording the information of the three disciples.

Afterwards, Xu Ning took his three disciples to the courtyard at the foot of the island and waited for the assessment to begin in ten days.

Over the next few days, in addition to Xu Ning, the other five seeds and their disciples also returned to the island.

According to Xu Ning's investigation, apart from Duan Chaomian, who had cultivated a disciple into a dao realm fourth stage master, the strongest ones were merely in the dao realm third stage.

This made Xu Ning more confident.

Fang Youli was now at the peak of the origin returnance realm, so he totally had the ability to fight above his realm.

If he seized the opportunity well and if the rules were relatively favorable to him, he might even win in the final assessment..

Ten days later.

On the Island Heart Peak.

Xu Ning arrived first with Fang Youli, Bian Huang, and Ling Jie.

Afterwards, Yu Qiao and the other three seeds also brought the disciples they had groomed to the Island Heart Peak.

Duan Chaomian was the last to arrive.

When he arrived at the Island Heart Peak, Xu Ning and the others glanced at him and the three disciples behind him.

Duan Chaomian looked calm and confident, as if he was extremely confident in the results of this assessment.

Behind him, there was a male disciple who looked quite eye-catching.

This disciple had a feminine appearance. He was wearing a wide robe, and his long hair covered half of his face.

'Is that Pei Bing…'

Xu Ning's gaze paused on this disciple for a moment.

He had already learned from the previous news that a disciple under Duan Chaomian had advanced to the core materialization realm, and his name was Pei Bing.

Pei Bing was the personal disciple of a dao realm ninth stage hidden master in State Wansheng. His aptitude was considered outstanding, even in the entire State Wansheng.

Duan Chaomian had spent a lot of effort to temporarily recruit him.

Duan Chaomian stood still with his three disciples behind him.

'Comparatively speaking, the three disciples under me are not inferior at all…'

Xu Ning thought to himself after sensing the abilities of other disciples.

The three disciples of Duan Chaomian were the strongest among them, with one of them in the fourth stage of dao realm, and the other two being in the third stage.

Aside from him, Xu Ning and Yu Qiao's disciples were the strongest among the rest. Their disciples were all in the third stage of dao realm.

As for the other three seeds, one of them had two dao realm third stage disciples, one dao realm second stage disciple, and as for the other two seeds, they both had one dao realm third stage disciple and two dao realm second stage disciples.

Before the final assessment began, their strength on the paper had already been clearly distinguished.

While Xu Ning was checking the competition, Duan Chaomian was also thinking.

'Except for Xu Ning and Yu Qiao's disciples, the others are no threat to me at all.'

Duan Chaomian's gaze swept across Fang Youli. 'It's just that that disciple feels a little strange. Maybe he is a miraculous weapon… However, the gap between the third and fourth stages of dao realm is the watershed between the elementary and mid level of the dao realm. It is quite difficult to fight someone above your realm. Moreover, Pei Bing's foundation is extremely strong, so it is impossible for him to be easily defeated by someone below his realm.'

Duan Chaomian glanced at Pei Bing with a relieved look in his eyes.

Whoosh!

Soon after, a few more figures appeared.

These people were all elders of the Core Sea Demon Sect.

Among these elders, except for Elder Wei, they were all veteran elders, and it was time to step down.

At that time, Xu Ning and the others would then take over.

After the elders appeared, Xu Ning, Duan Chaomian, Yu Qiao, and the others did not react, however, the disciples were generally feeling a little uneasy.

This was the first time they had seen so many top-notch dao realm masters gathered together.

Everyone waited for a while.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a ball of black fog appeared out of thin air.

The black fog dissipated, and two figures appeared.

One was a black-haired black-robed man, while the other was a silver-haired teenager.

The two of them did not take the initiative to release their auras, but by just standing there, their auras were like surging waves.

The disciples behind Xu Ning, Duan Chaomian, and others turned pale when they saw the two appear. They were almost overwhelmed by this aura.

"Greetings, Grandmaster! Greetings, Sect Master!"

The elders, Xu Ning and the rest bowed respectfully.

Afterwards, the disciples also woke up from their daze and greeted in unison.

Duan Huiye and Duan Huiyao waved their hands and sat on their r their respective seats.

"The final assessment between the seeds begins now."

After seeing Duan Huiye and Duan Huiyao sit down, Elder Wei said.

"The content of the first assessment is very simple. The six teams will draw lots and two sides will fight against each other, there will be three rounds and the first to two wins."

Elder Wei added some details as he explained.

Afterwards, the draw began.

Xu Ning and the others walked forward and took out a bamboo stick from Elder Wei's hand.

Below the bamboo stick, it was marked with different colors.

Those with the same color would fight each other.

The color of Xu Ning's bamboo stick was the same as the color of the bamboo stick in the hand of a seed named Fan Xingjian.

Among Fan Xingjian's disciples, one was in the third stage of dao realm, while the other two were in the second stage.

Fan Xingjian shook his head when he saw that his opponent was Xu Ning.

Although he knew that there was a high probability of defeat, Fan Xingjian did not feel regretful.

After knowing the strength of Xu Ning, Yu Qiao, and Duan Chaomian, he knew that no matter what, he would definitely not win.

However, he was already satisfied with just being an elder.

Xu Ning's draw was good, but Yu Qiao's draw was a little more awkward.

Her opponent was Duan Chaomian.

Defeating Duan Chaomian in three rounds would not be easy for Yu Qiao.

Duan Chaomian frowned slightly when he saw the opponent he got was Yu Qiao.

Yu Qiao's three disciples were all in the third stage of the dao realm.

Although the overall combat power on his side was stronger, in this fight, his disciples would definitely have to expose their trump cards in the upcoming fights.

If he fought other opponents afterwards, he would be at a slight disadvantage.

However, compared to drawing Xu Ning, drawing Yu Qiao was not the worst result.

At least he didn't have to encounter that strange disciple among Xu Ning's disciples.

"The draw is over, let the assessment begin!"

Elder Wei waved his hand and a barrier appeared on the Island Heart Peak.

Inside the barrier was the venue of the assessment.

"Xu Ning's disciples, Fan Xingjian's disciples, get ready!"

Elder Wei announced the first group to fight.

'So I'm in the first group…'

Xu Ning was still calm.

He turned his head and looked at Ling Jie. "Ling Jie, you are up first."

"I'm first?"

Ling Jie was already a little nervous. And now that she was the first to fight, she was even more nervous.

"Relax, you are no weaker than anyone on the other side."

Xu Ning smiled and said firmly.

This gave Ling Jie more confidence.

"Understood, Master."

Ling Jie's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Fang Youli and Bian Huang also cheered Ling Jie on from the side.

Afterwards, when Elder Wei announced the start, Ling Jie puffed out her chest and strode into the barrier.

The disciple on the other side had already entered the stage.

The disciple was a male disciple in the third stage of the dao realm. He was the strongest disciple under Fan Xingjian.

This disciple was under a lot of pressure.

He knew that once he was defeated, Fan Xingjian would definitely not have the opportunity to turn the tides of the assessment.

With this thought in mind, the two introduced themselves and began to fight..

Pak! Pak! Pak!

Ling Jie waved a black and gold whip.

The power of dao realm was attached to the long whip, causing astral qi to surge and explode with muffled sounds.

This black gold whip was a secret treasure.

It was not given to her by Xu Ning, but by the family behind Ling Jie.

Ling Jie had been using this black gold whip for many years, so she had long mastered it.

The disciple on the opposite side did not back down.

13 flying knives circled around him.

One of the flying knives was a secret treasure, while the other 12 knives were first-class dao weapons.

The flying knives were arranged into groups, and under the control of the disciple on the opposite side, they formed a flying knife formation that attacked Ling Jie fiercely.

For a moment, the two were evenly matched. Neither side could tear apart the other's defenses.

"Can Ling Jie hold on…"

Behind Xu Ning, Bian Huang was a little nervous. He looked at Ling Jie with genuine concern in his eyes.

Bian Huang and Ling Jie were similar in age, and they had practiced under Xu Ning for so long, so the two had long developed feelings for each other.

Therefore, when Ling Jie's battle was in a stalemate, he was a little nervous.

"It's no problem, Ling Jie will definitely win."

At this moment, Fang Youli replied.

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows. Fang Youli thought the same as he did.

"Why do you think Ling Jie will definitely win?"

Bian Huang asked Fang Youli.

Fang Youli crossed his arms in front of his chest. "A feeling."

"Although I can't specifically sense the strength and weakness of the two, I can feel that although the two are evenly matched, Ling Jie's strength is still stable, as if she is waiting for the final critical hit. Although her opponent's aura is fierce, he always has a sense of weakness. It's like an arrow at the end of its flight, but he still has to hold on."

Fang Youli said.

"Senior Brother Fang, why don't I feel the same?"

Bian Huang tilted his head and looked at Fang Youli. "I even think Ling Jie is at a disadvantage?"

Fang Youli glanced at him and said, "Then you have felt wrong."

Xu Ning heard his words and the corners of his lips curled up.

Fang Youli was right.

'To be able to sense the enemy's weakness so clearly, this ability is extremely terrifying…'

Xu Ning glanced at Fang Youli secretly. 'If he can sense the enemy's state at any time in actual combat, then he will have a huge advantage in combat.'

Sure enough, not long after, the situation inside the barrier changed.

The disciple on the opposite side controlled the flying knife formation and attacked Ling Jie again.

But Ling Jie suddenly changed her defensive state. The black gold whip was like a black python as it rushed towards the disciple on the opposite side.

The disciple quickly controlled the flying knives to defend, but he was still a step too late.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Ling Jie's black gold whip lashed out more than a dozen times.

More than a dozen astral qi exploded in front of the disciple's chest.

The disciple's mouth was bleeding, his face pale. He wanted to counterattack, but Ling Jie's black gold whip was already wrapped around his neck.

As long as Ling Jie exerted more force, his head would be cut off.

"Victory has been decided!"

Before the disciple on the opposite side could admit defeat, Elder Wei announced the result outside the barrier.

After hearing the result of her victory, Ling Jie finally smiled.

She did not embarrass her master in the first fight.

"Excuse me."

Ling Jie put away the black gold whip.

"My skills were inferior, you are impressive."

The disciple sighed and returned Ling Jie's courtesy.

Afterwards, Ling Jie walked out of the barrier and walked to the front of Xu Ning.

Confidence began to appear on her face.

"Ling Jie, well done."

Xu Ning was not stingy with his praise.

"Thank you, Master."

After being praised by Xu Ning, Ling Jie's smile widened.

Afterwards, Ling Jie stood behind Xu Ning.

She began to calm down. Ling Ling Jie knew that this was only the beginning. There would definitely be more difficult challenges ahead.

"The second battle, Bian Huang you are up."

Xu Ning said.

"Yes, Master."

Bian Huang strode into the barrier.

This time, his opponent was only in the dao realm second stage.

After greeting each other, he took out his longsword secret treasure and fought against his opponent.

In just a dozen breaths, the opponent was defeated.

It was indeed difficult to win with a difference in realm.

After all, not everyone could do what Xu Ning did. Ever since he began practicing martial arts, he had always been able to fight opponents above his realm.

"Xu Ning's side wins!"

Elder Wei announced the result again.

"You let me win!"

Bian Huang cupped his fists and left the barrier.

After the two fights ended, Xu Ning had eliminated Fan Xingjian.

Fan Xingjian, who was disqualified, could only sighed slightly, but he was not too disappointed.

After all, this result was expected.

"Next, Yu Qiao against Duan Chaomian!"

Elder Wei announced the next match.

Duan Huiyao and Duan Huiye, who had calm expressions just now, also glanced sideways.

The two looked at each other, then looked at the barrier.

In fact, Duan Huiye was the one who suggested the content of the final assessment.

With regards to this, Duan Huiyao was conflicted. He could clearly see that this rule was beneficial to Duan Chaomian.

However, Duan Huiyao finally compromised under Duan Huiye's advice.

"Begin!"

Duan Chaomian and Yu Qiao both sent out their disciples that were groomed by them.

Pei Bing, who was in the fourth stage of dao realm, was not sent up by Duan Chaomian immediately.

The two disciples on the stage began to fight.

'The foundations of both of these two disciples are not bad…'

Xu Ning was also paying attention to the fight inside the barrier.

Now that he was watching the fight between the two, he could observe the details of their fight in advance, or even wait for them to force out each other's trump cards.

In that case, they would gain an advantage in information for the next few battles.

'But it seems that Duan Chaomian's disciple is still stronger…'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

The strength of the two on the stage was similar to Bian Huang and Ling Jie.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The fight inside the barrier was quite intense.

After a long time, Yu Qiao's disciple revealed a flaw, and it was caught by Duan Chaomian's disciple.

Afterwards, the situation inside turned quickly. In just a few breaths, Duan Chaomian's disciple won the first round.

Afterwards, the second disciple from both sides went on stage.

Even now, Pei Bing still did not appear.

Yu Qiao's expression was a little solemn at this moment.

She had already sent out her strongest disciple.

Yu Qiao originally planned for this disciple to fight against Pei Bing at the end, but now it seemed that if she didn't let him come out now, there would be no third fight.

Even if she was going to lose, she had to win at least one round.

Compared to Yu Qiao's seriousness, Duan Chaomian was much more relaxed.

He knew very well that even if he lost this round, as long as Pei Bing went on stage, the final result would be his victory.

Pei Bing was his greatest trump card..

Chapter 321: Battle of Attrition

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yu Qiao's disciple began to fight with Duan Chaomian's disciple.

This time, Yu Qiao's side obviously held the advantage.

But even so, Duan Chaomian's disciple did not feel impatient although he was temporarily suppressed.

Instead, he was calm as he responded to his opponent's moves.

'The disciples recruited by Duan Chaomian are indeed powerful…'

Xu Ning also looked at the two fighting. 'Although there is a difference in strength, his combat experience, mental state, and combat wisdom are one level ahead… It is hard to say who will win this battle…'

Xu Ning had a high opinion of Duan Chaofang's disciple.

Sure enough, not long after, Yu Qiao's disciple began to be a little impatient.

He clearly had the upper hand and held a considerable advantage, but he was unable to turn this advantage into a victory.

In addition, he was on the verge of being eliminated, so his movements and mental state were a little distorted.

'The situation might reverse…'

Xu Ning had already predicted the outcome of the fight.

"Ha!"

At this moment, Yu Qiao's disciple suddenly attacked. This was similar to Ling Jie's unexpected attack.

However, this disciple did not obtain the same advantage as Ling Jie.

After he attacked, he was easily dealt with by Duan Chaofang's disciple. Obviously, Duan Chaofang's disciple had expected that his opponent would lose his mental state and launch a desperate attack.

All of this was calculated.

'Not good!'

When Yu Qiao's disciple failed to land his attack, he realized that he had revealed his weakness.

He quickly wanted to remedy the situation, but Duan Chaofang's disciple did not give him the opportunity to. Duan Chaofang's disciple changed from his defensive position to taking the initiative to attack.

Duan Chaofang's disciple, who was initially attacking like a drizzle, suddenly attacked like a storm.

The change in style caused the opponent to not react in time.

Bang!

Finally, Yu Qiao's disciple couldn't hold on anymore. He was hit in the waist by a strand of astral qi, and his body was instantly stained with blood as he was sent flying.

"Duan Chaofang's side wins!"

It was at this moment that Elder Wei announced the result.

Yu Qiao's side did not even win a single round.

'Truly powerful…'

Xu Ning admired Duan Chaofang's disciple who had just obtained victory.

His mature performance just now was something none of his three disciples could achieve.

Other than Fang Youli who could secure the fight with his strength, Bian Huang and Ling Jie were definitely not his opponents.

'Let's see what the content of the next round is about…'

Although there were two seeds who had not yet to send their disciples, their disciples were lacking in terms of realm. Even the winner would not be able to defeat the disciples of Xu Ning and Duan Chaomian.

'I didn't even win one round…'

Yu Qiao's face was full of unwillingness.

But since it had come to this, she had no choice but to accept it.

The competition between her and Duan Chaomian ended in her defeat.

'I hope Xu Ning's disciples can create a miracle…'

Yu Qiao sighed in her heart, although she felt that the probability of this happening was not high.

Because up until now, Pei Bing, Duan Chaomian's strongest disciple, had not been revealed.

Afterwards, under Elder Wei's guidance, the other two seed disciples began to fight.

Soon, the winner was decided.

Among the two of them, the seed that had two dao realm third stages and one dao realm second stage won.

With that, the first round of the assessment was over.

The victors all had disciples with the higher overall realm, so there was no situation where the weak had defeated the strong.

In that way, it seemed that Duan Chaomian's side held the strongest advantage.

"It seems that Duan Chaomian has a high chance of winning…"

Duan Huiyao transmitted his voice to Duan Huiye with a slightly dissatisfied tone.

Not necessarily…"

Duan Huiye responded, "The disciple next to Xu Ning is no ordinary character…"

"Mmm…"

Duan Huiyao nodded silently.

They all noticed a strange energy in Fang Youli's body.

Even the two of them felt unfamiliar with this strange energy.

"The second round of the test will be a battle of attrition between two disciples!"

Elder Wei stood up again and explained the rules.

"This time, the three of you will draw lots to compete in order. After one person is eliminated, the next person will be selected according to the order of the drawn lots. If one person on one side successfully defends the arena and meets the opponent of the same group, they will automatically skip this fight and be replaced by the next person in the order."

Soon, Elder Wei explained the rules.

'Battle of attrition…'

Xu Ning, Duan Chaomian, and the other female seed, Lu Weiwen, pondered at the same time.

They all knew very well that according to this rule, the person in third place would be more advantageous.

However, this advantage was not that great.

"Let's draw lots!"

Elder Wei took out three bamboo sticks.

Xu Ning and the other two selected one stick each.

'Three?'

After Xu Ning took out the bamboo stick, he saw his number at the bottom of the bamboo stick.

'Three? I'm actually the last one…'

Xu Ning gave a soft smile. This was a considerable advantage.

In theory, the further back one was, the greater their advantage.

"I am the first in line."

Duan Chaomian was expressionless, as if the order did not affect him at all.

"I'm second."

Lu Weiwen said.

"I'm third."

Xu Ning also showed his bamboo stick.

"Okay."

Elder Wei nodded. "In this case, after resting for a moment, Duan Chaomian and Lu Weiwen will send their disciples up first."

"Yes."

The three of them responded before retreating.

"Master, who are you going to send first?"

Xu Ning returned to the three of them and Fang Youli asked.

"Ling Jie will be first, Bian Huang will be second, and you will be the last."

Xu Ning quickly gave an answer without much thought.

The strongest was naturally the last in a battle of attrition.

Xu Ning's answer completely matched their expectations.

Ling Jie and Bian Huang also knew that the two of them could not last until the end.

Only Fang Youli was strong enough to fight against Pei Bing.

"Just do your best like how you have done. I won't blame you if you fail."

Xu Ning assured them once more.

"Understood, Master."

After calming their hearts, they could relax more and do their best.

"Okay, Duan Chaofang, Lu Weiwen, send up your disciples!"

The break was over and Elder Wei said to the two sides.

Afterwards, both sides sent their disciples.

The final round of the assessment had officially begun..
