What a formidable Divine Wind, just to meet someone, three of the sub-arenas were completely demolished, forcing the Arena to reschedule the competition. As soon as the competition ended, the Overlord Soul Hunting Team faced a hefty compensation claim from the Arena, along with a three-match suspension as punishment. The captain of Overlord Soul apologized profusely, his face darker than the bottom of a pot, while the troublemaker Divine Wind had no self-awareness, shouting enthusiastically at Yun Sheng: "Little Loli, your match is about to start, I’ll come over to cheer for you later!" Before he could finish, he was grabbed by the collar by the Overlord Soul Hunting Team’s captain and forcibly escorted out. As Divine Wind was dragged away, the hunters by his side all wore enigmatic expressions. The tornado from before had thoroughly exposed the strength of Overlord Soul. Not to mention the tornado, the Wind Wings Divine Wind used to fly through the air earlier were far more sophisticated than the Floating Technique. The Wind Wings looked lifelike, coming in two forms: Magic Wings and Fighting Spirit Wings. To form Fighting Spirit Wings, one must at least have the cultivation of a Martial Arts Sect Master; as for Elemental Wings, that would require at least the power of a Sky Mage. Now, if you casually ask any Hunter Soldier Team, which team they’d least like to face, Overlord Soul would surely be their top choice, followed by Hei Hu. At the very least, Hei Hu kills opponents but leaves the body intact. If one unluckily falls into Divine Wind’s hands, they might end up with not even a trace of bone left. As Overlord Soul Hunting Team was banned from competing for three days, every five-person Hunter Soldier Team was overjoyed with their luck, but those set to compete after three days began to worry. The uniform conclusion among the Hunter Soldier Teams was to forfeit the match when facing Overlord Soul Hunting Team, since every team had the opportunity to admit defeat twice. After being forcefully removed from the sub-arena, the captain of Overlord Soul quickly let go of Divine Wind, kneeling on the ground with an air of helplessness, and kowtowed several times. It turned out that this ’captain’ was not the real leader of the Overlord Soul Hunting Team, but the enigmatic Divine Wind himself. "This subordinate apologizes, but your actions earlier were too risky. You have exposed your own strength and also drawn Great Zhou’s Hunters’ attention to us," the captain set up a Magic Restriction to prevent anyone else from overhearing their conversation. The tornado had almost drawn the attention of the entire Arena’s guards, and there were no people from Great Zhou nearby now. "General Batuo, I was merely executing justice on behalf of the heavens. That opponent’s Hunter Soldier Team, disguised as bandits along the border, plundered several villages, and dishonored many women. Dying at my hands is the most merciful end they could’ve hoped for," Divine Wind’s face still looked carefree, but his eyes were filled with a serious killing intent. Divine Wind would not forget the ruins and widows and orphans he had come across in the villages after entering Great Zhou. "Let’s put the Hunter’s matters aside for now. You also need to watch your behavior, you are getting too close to that Doll Summoner," as an Elf Descendant, the Royal Family of Xianju Country seldom interacted with the Human Clan. In their view, humans are usually extremely cunning and calculating. That Summoner from the Huangteng Hunting Soldier Team is young, but relying on the innate sharpness of an Elf Descendant, Batuo feels that Yun Sheng is far from simple as she appears, especially given her eyes full of wisdom. The Elf Clan believes that the eyes are the windows to the soul, the best reflection of a person’s wisdom. """ The chaos just now unsettled most people, yet that little girl observed it all with an icy detachment. Her words and composure didn’t seem to belong to an ordinary person; such early wisdom should not exist in a child. "I don’t know why I feel drawn to her, but the first time I saw her, I sensed an unusually strong kinship, as if we had known each other for a long time," Divine Wind mused, squinting her beautiful eyes reflectively. "But she is not an Elf Descendant, Divine Wind King; you have forgotten the Elves’ warning. Elf Descendants should not deal with humans; it will bring misfortune to you," the team captain advised earnestly. "I am aware of these matters, and not everyone is bad, at least the little loli isn’t," Divine Wind’s gaze kept drifting towards the sub-arena not far away. She whispered in her heart: "Little loli, don’t let me down. I believe you can join me in reaching the B-level Hunter Soldier Team." "Your Majesty, the purpose of our journey, while the competition is minor, the main goal is to find that secret cave. We have found a few local Tomb Raiders, and with their surveying, we believe the ancient tomb will soon be discovered. If we can acquire that artifact, your Summoning Technique will surely advance to the next level," the captain revealed with a hint of joy. They had traveled thousands of miles, following the Divine Wind King from Xianju to Great Zhou, and as the deadline for completing the mission approached, they could not contain their excitement. Yet Divine Wind appeared indifferent; her mind had already wandered to the other competition taking place. The first round of assessments for Yun Sheng and the others was about to begin. Right before the assessment started, Feng Kuo still cautiously inquired whether Yun Sheng was sure about participating in this assessment. Yun Sheng knew what Feng Kuo was worried about. "Boss Feng, you don’t have to worry, besides healing people, Doctors are those who experience life and death most frequently in the world; I am much stronger than you can imagine," Yun Sheng reassured, her face still adorned with dimples, looking innocently adorable. Boss Feng and the rest didn’t believe her words; how old was Yun Sheng, to have seen more death than them? Yet no one doubted her statement, for the mature air of someone who had seen through life and death that emerged in her expression during her words stirred an unusual emotion in them. Yun Sheng still remembered when she had just learned Medical Skill and encountered her first patient dying despite medical futility; for a while, Yun Sheng even lost the will to continue her medical studies. After learning of this, Yun Sheng’s grandfather only told her one thing: "As a Doctor, it is your duty to let patients live and to let them die without pain." Seeing that Yun Sheng was unharmed, they began their assessment competition. The referee for Yun Sheng and her team was still Zhan Ziyuan. "Sub-arena nine, C-level Hunter examination begins. Both teams, line up." The four members of the Huangteng Hunting Soldier Team lined up one by one, but the opposing Trench Hunting Soldier Team showed not a hint of movement. "Dual Cultivation of Demon and Magic, Feng Kuo, Martial Artist Wenren Xu, Mage Mu Nanyan, Summoner Yun Sheng," Yun Sheng had already shown off Little Black, and now she made no attempt to conceal it, letting Little Black stay by her side. The match was utterly predictable; Huangteng’s so-called C-level Hunter Soldier Team’s top presence delivered an outstanding performance in this round, giving their opponents no chance to breathe, swiftly defeating the four Hunter Soldiers of the other team. The first round of assessment passed smoothly. """
