Chapter 339: Chapter 168: Devil, Madman, Succubus_2

At these words, a look of discontent spread across many faces, and Long Dangdang could even sense a harsh cold atmosphere flowing from Zisang Liuying standing beside him.

"There’s no need to be upset. If you are dissatisfied, prove it with your strength in the upcoming three months of training," said the middle-aged man indifferently, "Due to some peculiar reasons, among you, students belonging to the Spirit Furnace Academy have joined the demon hunting team before even completing their studies. From my personal perspective, I wouldn’t want such a situation. But since you’ve been chosen, everything you’ll encounter in the training is what a real demon hunter will face. Your age won’t afford you any preferential treatment."

His voice suddenly took on a stern tone, and his gaze held a domineering force, "Firstly, let me tell you, beginning from now, whenever you face danger, there won’t be any drills. Everything will be real. Those who fail to pass this three-month training will be stripped of their demon hunter qualifications, their equipment will be seized, and they will be sent back from where they came, also losing forever the possibility of becoming demon hunters."

"Perhaps some among you perceive demon hunting as just a profession. But let me tell you, all demon hunters are heroes. All demon hunting teams are carrying on the legacy of heroes. Maybe you do not know what it means to be a hero. Being a hero doesn’t just mean glory and radiance. It mainly involves sacrifice and devotion. Every demon hunter is a hero of the Federation. Without the sacrifices of the previous generations of demon hunters, the Federation wouldn’t enjoy the peace and happiness it has today. While demon hunters get the best resources from the Federation, in return, they need to undertake the most difficult and dangerous tasks. As the instructor for you reserve demon hunters, I will have stringent requirements for you. Because unqualified demon hunters are sent to their death—I’d rather have you fail at my hands than throw your lives away. So what you will face next will be truly the most brutal, painful, and helpless trials in this world. During the next three months of training, the Federation allows me a death rate of up to ten percent. So, I need to emphasize again, this is not a drill, nor a virtual world where you can resurrect. Once a forbidden spell is used, you truly die."

As he said the last sentence, his gaze swept over towards Long Dangdang’s group. The students from the Spirit Furnace Academy also subconsciously focused their gaze on Ling Menglu. The previous scene had left a deep impression on them, turning Ling Menglu into the most brilliant star of the Spirit Furnace Academy.

The middle-aged man continued, "Let’s introduce ourselves now. You are not qualified to know our names yet. You can call me Devil. The one on my left is the Madman and the one on my right is Succubus. That’s all you need to use to refer to us. I believe, in the next three months, we will leave a profound impression on you. Now, the team leaders shall lead your respective teams and follow me."

Having spoken, the Devil Instructor turned around and headed towards the depths of the Temple Academy’s Main College.

There was a teleportation array formation located in the Main College of the Temple Academy, too, one that was even larger than the one in the Spirit Furnace Academy. When the Devil Instructor brought them there, the magic array formation was already activated, but it was yet unclear as to where it would teleport them.

This large teleportation array formation was ample enough to accommodate all of them quite comfortably. Following the flickering of lights, everyone was transported.

Long Dangdang keenly realized that this time, the teleportation process lasted longer than his previous experiences. Even though he couldn’t pin an accurate time, the twisty feeling made him feel a little dizzy. By trying his best to adjust his own condition, he was barely able to maintain his physical state.

After an unknown period, brilliance suddenly filled their surroundings and the twisting sensation vanished. The next moment, they were already in mid-air.

Yes, mid-air.

Because the intense sensation of weightlessness took effect almost immediately. Accompanied by it were shrieks and exclamations of surprise.

Who could anticipate that they would be transported to mid-air, even at a high altitude?

Paired with severe weightlessness, all sixty-one people abruptly started to fall at high speed like in free fall.

"Oh no!" exclaimed Long Kongkong as he began to plummet. Same were the cases with Tao Linlin and Ming Xi from the Overhanging Bright Moon demon hunting team. But falling the fastest were, indeed, Long Dangdang and Wang Changxin. Ling Menglu exclaimed in shock and Yue Li let out a scream.

Everyone in the sky was in chaos—those who were heavier fell faster, while those lighter descended more slowly. The roaring wind brought along by the plunge blew so hard that they could barely open their eyes, and the panic stemmed from the intense weightlessness was mentally and physically exhausting.

Long Dangdang forcefully suppressed his fear. His first reaction was to look downward. Beneath them was a vast forest, an endless expanse of green. Their distance from the forest was about a kilometer. Falling from such a height, without any means to slow down, meant certain death.

Just then, above him not far away, dense light elements gathered, and Ling Menglu’s voice followed, "Dangdang!"

Long Dangdang forcibly controlled his body to half turn in the air and looked up. He saw Ling Menglu full of golden light. A golden figure merged into her body, and golden wings spread out. This was indeed the Angel’s Advent.

Long Dangdang didn’t dare to delay. In front of his chest, the Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace emerged. The Redirecting force fell directly on his cousin. With the help of the furnace’s pull, he instantly stabilised his figure. At the same time, he spread both arms and legs.

His left hand grabbed Long Kongkong, who was falling beside him. His right hand grabbed Tao Linlin, and his left foot hooked onto Ming Xi.

Ling Menglu accelerated in the air and caught up with Yue Li, hugging her.

Wang Changxin’s falling speed even surpassed Long Dangdang’s, and she was now quite far from them. Long Dangdang rapidly recited a spell, and the levitation technique hit Wang Changxin.

Wang Changxin’s rapidly falling body slowed in the air. Just as Ling Menglu prepared to pounce on her, suddenly a flash of light blossomed behind Wang Changxin and a pair of white wings spread out.

Spirit Wings! 6th Rank!

Sister Wang is 6th Rank? Long Dangdang was overjoyed.

Wang Changxin spun in the air. She was obviously not good at flying. Although she had released her Spirit Wings, she only barely managed to control her descent, looking somewhat frantic.

Apparently, they were not the only ones in a state of chaos; a similar situation happened to all the demon hunting teams.

For a moment, in the sky, various glows flickered frequently. There were those displaying their equipment, casting magic, and 6th Rank powerful experts deploying their Spirit Wings. Everyone was strenuously rescuing their teammates. All around them, the sixty-one reserve demon hunters were in complete chaos.

It was in such moments that the strength and quality of different teams became apparent.

The calmest and most composed team was Zisang Liuying’s. Zisang Liuying who had reached the 6th Rank, spread a pair of Wings of Wind behind him. In addition, he released a swirl of green cyclone, keeping his partners circling around him. Tang Leiguang also spread a pair of thunder-attribute Spirit Wings behind his back, holding a 3rd Grader knight who had not reached the 6th Rank. The 5th Rank knight seemed very calm, showing no signs of panic.

Being able to become a reserve demon hunter means they’re all geniuses, especially students from the Spirit Furnace Academy. These 3rd graders, who, in only three years, managed to pass the demon hunter team selection competition, spoke volumes of their talent. Keep in mind, they were up against excellent graduates from the Temple Academy’s Main College, including some 6th Rank powerful experts. However, many 6th Rankers were eliminated by them.
