Yan Tianyang's words were full of confidence in Jiang Fan.

Wei San also noticed this.

"I know that with Jiang Fan's talent, his future achievements are immeasurable, but he still needs enough time to grow. I estimate that the Li Family won't have to wait too long."

Yan Tianyang turned to look at him; beneath his sharp, angular eyebrows, a pair of piercing eyes were as captivating as those of a hawk.

"Every genius has a bumpy road. If someone always paves the way and clears the thorns for them, what's the point of having a genius who never experiences bloodshed and storms and always has a smooth journey?"

Wei San naturally understood this principle.

"But didn't you arrange a protector for Ye Qizhen?"

"They're different; don't you understand the principle of individualized instruction?"

"What's the difference? Aren't they all Spirit Master?" Wei San boldly continued to ask.

Yan Tianyang is generally good-tempered with his subordinates as long as work isn't the topic of conversation.

"The same? Have you ever seen a Spirit Master wielding a large sword, charging ahead and completely overwhelming Martial Artist of the same or even higher level?"

Wei San was speechless for a moment.

Yan Tianyang asked again, "Have you ever seen a Spirit Master who can summon demonic beasts at the same time? And who can blow up the instrument that tests the Soul Threshold?"

Wei San was speechless.

"That's why I said they are different and need to be taught according to their individual needs."

"But Jiang Fan really keeps surprising me. Although I don't know why he can't contract with any monsters other than Big Black, it doesn't mean he can't in the future."

Yan Tianyang learned about Jiang Fan's unilateral contract with the dead demon beast in Yuanwu immediately. Later, he learned from the Crazy Old Man that Jiang Fan had successfully contracted with Big Black.

Speaking of that Big Black, the Crazy Old Man had also mentioned the mutated Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito to him.

The aura of the Crimson Flame Phoenix... Big Black...

Yan Tianyang frowned, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

That evening, Jiang Fan began packing his things, preparing to move into the dormitory permanently.

strength!

Ultimately, you need real skill!

Jiang Fan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with an urgent desire to improve his strength.

The next day.

Yuanwu officially began teaching in the new semester.

In the morning, we will explain theoretical knowledge, such as how to deal with different types of monsters when encountering them in the Inner Wilderness Zone.

Jiang Fan sat in the classroom, gazing out the window, his brows slightly furrowed.

This is such a waste of time!

No, he can't keep wasting time.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up.

Swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to Jiang Fan's action.

The chubby guy sitting next to Jiang Fan, who was engrossed in eating snacks, stopped and looked at Jiang Fan with a puzzled expression.

The teacher, who was holding a book and lecturing, was also stunned.

" Jiang Fan, why did you suddenly stand up?"

Jiang Fan cut to the chase. "If I master all the theoretical knowledge in this semester's courses, does that mean I don't need to attend?"

One sentence stirred up a huge wave!

No one expected Jiang Fan to say such a thing.

That's a whole semester's worth of theoretical knowledge; any book you pick out is thicker than a coin standing upright.

They just received their new textbooks yesterday, okay?

The lecturer's face darkened. " Jiang Fan, I know you have exceptional talent, but even with the greatest talent, theoretical knowledge is still essential. We Martial Artist are not ordinary warriors, much less reckless brutes. This semester, we will mainly study the weaknesses of various demonic beasts so that when we encounter them in the future, we won't just blindly hack and slash with our weapons."

"I know."

After Jiang Fan finished speaking, seeing that the teacher was about to continue lecturing, he didn't give the teacher a chance, closed the book, and started reciting directly from the first word on the first page.

Two hours later, he had memorized all the contents of the four books he was to study this semester, word for word.

This was no problem for Jiang Fan, who had already become Intermediate Psychic.

Did I mispronounce a single word?

The only sound in the quiet classroom was Jiang Fan's voice.

"No... no, you're all right!" The lecturer swallowed unconsciously after saying that.

"Then I'm leaving."

After saying that, Jiang Fan left the classroom without looking back.

After a long silence, the fat man's excited voice broke the stillness.

"Talking too much is tiring, but I still want to say it: my Brother Fan is awesome! He memorized an entire semester's worth of material in one night, without missing a single word!"

At this moment, the fat man's admiration for Jiang Fan reached an unprecedented level.

After leaving the classroom, Jiang Fan did not go directly out the main gate. Instead, he went to a corner of the schoolyard wall, put on a mask and a baseball cap, and jumped over the high wall.

In order to earn money to upgrade Big Black, Jiang Fan specifically researched a lot of information online.

He originally wanted to follow the example of Fortress No. 31 and find a studio to join.

However, a search revealed that there was no workshop inside Fortress No. 1, but rather Mercenary Guild with stricter management.

Simply join a mercenary squad, acquire and complete missions, and you will receive corresponding rewards.

Before long, Jiang Fan arrived at the Mercenary Guild's main hall.

The first thing that catches the eye is a screen suspended in mid-air, with tasks displayed in red and blue text that rotate 360 degrees.

Below, a large crowd gathered, creating a noisy atmosphere filled with various invitations to team up.

The sounds of arguing and fighting over people were particularly loud.

"Come join our squad, we're just short an archer."

"Hey! So your squad is short of archers? Who doesn't need archers?"

"Hey you two, you came later! I saw this archer first, okay? Have some manners, why are you fighting over her?"

"..."

Jiang Fan shook his head. It seemed that archers were always in high demand, whether it was Fortress No. 31 or Fortress No. 1.

At that moment, a female staff member dressed in business attire walked over with a standard professional smile on her face.

Hello, is this your first time here?

"How did you know?" Jiang Fan asked, puzzled.

"I can tell just by looking at you, and you're not wearing a pass either."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan looked around and noticed that everyone inside had a name tag hanging around their necks.

"No pass, no entry?"

The female staff member smiled and replied, " The Mercenary Guild has clear rules that ordinary people are not allowed to enter. The minimum requirement for entry is Early-Stage Second-Rank Martial Artist."

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow slightly, "The threshold is Early-Stage Second-Rank Martial Artist?"

"Yes, after all, most of the missions issued by the Mercenary Guild are to go to the Inner Wilderness Zone, and of course some are to go to the Outer Wilderness Zone. It is naturally inappropriate for First-Rank Martial Artist to do these missions."

Jiang Fan nodded in understanding, saying that Fortress No. 1 truly lived up to its Fortress No. 1, far surpassing any of the outer fortresses.

"Do you still want to go in?" the female staff member asked politely.

"Yes, I'm at the Middle-Stage Second Rank."

After saying that, Jiang Fan immediately unleashed his qi and blood to prove his point.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll process your pass right away."

The female staff member was very efficient; she processed Jiang Fan's pass in less than three minutes.

Jiang Fan took the pass and glanced at it briefly.
