Chapter 150: The Secret to Becoming an Elite Jonin
The seven who had volunteered were, unsurprisingly, all among the top ten freshmen.
They were Ling Yiyi, Ge Long, Zhong Hang, Zhang Dong, Yang Liu, Xia Xueqing, and Su Bai.
Xu Meng, Gao Pei, and Bai Chun hadn't signed up. They knew their own abilities and didn't want to embarrass themselves.
As for the other students, they were even less interested in signing up. The moment they thought of the Iron-Horned Sheep's enormous size and ferocious temperament, they lost all desire to take part.
Everyone knew that the better they performed, the more attention they'd get from the academy, and the more resources would be directed their way. But fighting an Iron-Horned Sheep was no joke.
It was a real Magic Beast, nothing like a weak one such as the Long-Eared Rabbit.
Most of them could barely keep their composure when facing a Long-Eared Rabbit. An Iron-Horned Sheep? That would be no different from throwing their lives away...
Deng Rong wasn't surprised by their reaction. Those Iron-Horned Sheep were vicious, so it was only natural that the students were afraid.
After all, they had only just graduated from high school. They were still very green, and he hadn't expected any of them to break the record. The only person he truly cared about was Su Bai.
If any of these freshmen could surprise him and break the academy's thirty-year-old record in one fell swoop, he was sure it would be Su Bai.
Powerful strength, excellent combat instincts, and the ability to stay calm.
Deng Rong's gaze swept over all the freshmen. After a moment's thought, he said, "It's getting late today. I'll take you to your accommodations first. Get a good night's rest. Tomorrow morning, meet here at six sharp.
