Chapter 339: Chapter 73: A Monster has Emerged Among Us – Part 3 Chapter 339: Chapter 73: A Monster has Emerged Among Us – Part 3 “This could indeed explain why some gold rank targets take so long to complete their tasks.”

“Everyone’s limit is set in stone, at most they’re on a par with their opponent. After considering the identity, background, origin, and additional strengths of the target, aside from the advantage of striking by surprise and without any forethought, the Gold Rank assassins don’t really have anything more to offer.”

“But this also suggests that the Heavenly Judge’s method of grading, and the assessment of the target’s strength, is the same for everyone, with individual variations nonexistent. Of course, there’s also a certain element of luck, but it’s not a decisive factor.”

Feng Yin concluded with a sigh.

The Heavenly Judge’s discernment is in fact impressive, absolutely right on the money.

Having confirmed the above, Feng Yin closed his eyes and began to meditate and rest, in order to ensure he is in the best possible condition.

It’s only the second day today, and it will be a few days before classes formally start, so it’s a good idea to make use of this time.

Everyone had the same idea, to use this time for training. All were sitting here practicing, quiet as a mouse.

After all… this is also a pre-study assessment.

No one’s a fool. There’s a reason for this five-day buffer period. It’s probably intended partly to test the temperaments of the trainees, because currently, there must be instructors watching everything that happens here.

Above them in the sky.

Ten figures stood proudly in mid-air.

And between these people on the ground and the ten people in the sky, there was a thin fog.

This thin fog was not ordinary. From above the fog, you could see the face of every person below, every detail was clear. But from below the fog, you couldn’t see anything above at all.

If Feng Yin knew this, he would surely complain in secret, isn’t this just like the one-way glass in another world! How unique!

At this moment, the ten people were all looking at the fog, their gazes deep, because the fog was more than just one-way glass.

What they were looking at were the small ripples spread out in circles.

The whirlwind of energy displayed by the attendees below was like a funnel, with each whirlwind corresponding to a person below.

This displayed the current state of each person’s cultivation, how they attracted spiritual energy, how they broke through the interference of the dense fog to seep into their bodies. The whole process was reflected in the fog above, not a single thing missing.

If one looked casually from above, one would see ripples spreading out on a calm surface like raindrops falling on water.

And the ripples, their size and positioning, were all more or less the same.

For the ten viewings instructors, it was boring after a while. The frequency of everyone’s aura and spiritual wave depended on their cultivation, and unless there was a sudden breakthrough, the fluctuations in their aura wouldn’t differ much. Of course, if there was a significant difference, it might mean that something had gone wrong with the person’s aura, like a demonic possession or something!

But at this moment, viewing was part of their job, and despite the boredom, they had to watch attentively. They all exchanged glances.

There really wasn’t much to see!

Among the ten instructors, all saw the same thing. With a relatively illustrative comparison, some were as big as chicken eggs, some were as big as duck eggs, some were as big as goose eggs.

There were differences in size, but it was just the difference between large raindrops and small raindrops. At least for them, none of it was amazing.

“Guess our group is going to be the last again.” One of the instructors sighed.

The other instructors all dimmed their eyes simultaneously.

Because the final ranking of the trainees would also affect the well-being of the instructors.

The job of a Gold Rank Trainer is also a technical one, and the instructors for each group were basically fixed, unless someone had a major task and couldn’t be spared, or if there was an accident, then they would be replaced by someone else.

Unless there were special circumstances, or if these instructors didn’t do anything biased in the training, it would last for five to ten terms.

Of course, after ten terms and twenty years, at least half of the ten instructors would have been replaced.

After all, a clay pot would eventually break on the well, and a general would eventually die on the battlefield.

Some instructor groups would even see three or four changes of personnel after ten terms.

And the trainees in Feng Yin’s group had been at the bottom for three terms in a row.

“Our group’s best result in the past was third in the mass ranking, which is barely acceptable, but the individual record is quite dismal… there was just one time when one guy broke into the top ten, at… tenth place.”

One of the instructors sighed, “It’s all about timing and luck. The monsters almost always pop up in other groups. How can we compete?”

“Actually, this is not bad.”

Another instructor said, “Even though we all gathered here for this training, we are after all from different countries. If these trainees have mediocre performance, we won’t have to deal with any conflict… it can actually be more harmonious.”

“What if a genius shows up, and he lands in our Chu country? Wouldn’t the rest of you from other countries turn green with envy? That wouldn’t be comfortable either, would it?”

“Bullshit, why didn’t you say it’s a genius from our Qin country?”

“Huh… Can’t our Great Qi produce a genius?”

“It seems like our Yan state has been overlooked…”

“…”

The instructors went back and forth. Initially, the atmosphere had been harmonious, but as soon as the matter of nationality was brought up, the harmonious atmosphere gradually became more tense.
