Countless sword beams rained down, forcing the instructor to retreat repeatedly.
Hela extended countless tentacles from his left hand, pulling out the two straight swords stuck in his body and tightly binding them.
There wasn't a drop of blood on the knife.
Then Hela looked at the instructor who was being beaten down by Ye Yiqing, and decisively swung out the two bone whips behind her.
The thick bone whip sliced through the air, lashing out at the two combatants from both sides.
The instructor glanced out of the corner of his eye and ducked down again to avoid being attacked from both sides by the bone whips.
Seeing that the two bone whips were already in front of him, Ye Yiqing stopped slashing at the instructor and quickly retreated to dodge.
But this also created distance between him and the instructors.
Ye Yiqing looked at Hela and smiled helplessly, without blaming her. Then he turned his gaze back to the instructor and stared intently at him.
The instructor stood up, gripped his straight knife, and began to breathe heavily.
He looked at Hela, who had already pulled out her knife, whose clothes had only two holes and who was completely unharmed, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes, but then he understood.
He concluded that Hela definitely possessed the strength of a ' High Rank ' being, and was also a [ Symbiote ], seemingly with regenerative abilities.
This is a bit tricky...
Dealing with Ye Yiqing, who was at the same cultivation level, was already difficult enough, but then another one came along.
The instructor was starting to despair. Hela had control of both straight swords, and his swordsmanship was inferior to Ye Yiqing's. Losing was only a matter of time.
The instructor's eyes darkened again, and he began to doubt himself.
Hela withdrew her bone whip and then lashed it at the instructor again. This time, she swept one bone whip high and one low, while countless tentacles from her right hand reached out to interfere and try to snatch the bell.
The instructor gritted his teeth and launched a counterattack, charging directly at Hela.
Faced with the attack of the two bone whips, the instructor turned his body and passed through the gap between the two bone whips while swinging his knife to cut off the small tentacles around him.
Finally, he stepped directly onto the ground and stood before Hela, swiftly severing the tentacles that were binding Hela's straight sword.
Freed from the tentacles' restraint, the two straight swords spun rapidly like wild horses, deflecting the two bone whips Hela had just retracted.
At the same time, the instructor slashed down with the back of his knife, striking Hela on the back of the neck.
The force of the blow twisted Hela's neck, but Hela kept her eyes wide open, showing no sign of fainting.
The arm whose tentacles had been severed immediately began to wriggle and transform into a left hand.
He then used a grappling technique he learned from Liu Xiaogang to grab the instructor by the neck and forcefully slam him to the ground.
The tentacles on its right hand also quickly extended, tightly binding the instructor's limbs and rendering him unable to move.
The instructor's mind raced once more, and two straight swords flew swiftly, intending to sever Hela's tentacles.
Ye Yiqing suddenly made a move, unleashing two sword energies that stopped the two straight swords flying towards Hela.
Ye Yiqing then sheathed his katana and pushed off with both legs.
He leaped nearly ten meters into the air, then grabbed two straight swords in mid-air with both hands.
Landed smoothly.
The two straight swords trembled incessantly in Ye Yiqing's hands, trying to break free from Ye Yiqing grasp, but Ye Yiqing held them firmly with his powerful grip.
Seeing that his twin swords were once again under Ye Yiqing's control, the instructor struggled again, but when he realized he couldn't move, he gave up, closed his eyes, and let the two of them do as they pleased.
Hela used her tiny right tentacle to reach for the bells on the instructor's waist and removed all five of them.
"Miss Hela, how do you plan to divide this bell?" Ye Yiqing walked to Hela's side, gripping his twin swords.
Hela held up five bells in front of her with her tentacles, then considered the number of bells she needed.
Aside from myself and Keke, it seems there's really no one else I can give bells to. However, Xing Lan previously said that I could make more friends by giving bells, so the more bells the better.
Hela turned to look at Ye Yiqing, about to speak, when she saw Ye Yiqing suddenly looking ahead as if facing a formidable enemy.
Hela followed the gaze and saw Chief Instructor Li Hu, who had fought her one-on-one earlier, walking over carrying a katana and wearing somewhat torn camouflage clothing.
Instructor Li Hu was taken aback when he saw Hela suppressing the instructors, and then looked at Ye Yiqing was ready to make a move at any moment.
With just one glance, Li Hu could discern the other's cultivation level from the aura emanating from him.
Then, looking at the other instructor, his expression began to turn somewhat strange.
"No, Qin Gucheng, your luck..."
"You've encountered both of the only two ' High Rank ' recruits in this cohort..." Before he could finish speaking, a sword aura shot straight at Li Hu's face.
Li Hu's expression hardened, and he quickly raised his katana to face the sword energy.
Bang--!
The sword energy collided with the massive katana, instantly unleashing a deafening metallic clang.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Yiqing grabbed Hela by the back of her collar, lifted her up like a chick, and then ran away, dragging the two huge bone whips with him.
"They got away?!" Li Hu blocked the attack and watched the two figures flee in disbelief.
Qin Gucheng got up from the ground with a sullen face. "They took all my bells, so there's really no reason for them to continue fighting."
Watching Ye Yiqing and Hela run off into the distance, the instructor slowly smiled. "Looks like this year's class isn't so weak after all."
"Hmm." Qin Gucheng nodded, his head slowly lowering. "I feel like I might not be able to teach them."
"Shut up! As an instructor, you must first and foremost be confident! You can't deny yourself entirely because of some things that happened before, understand?" Li Hu suddenly raised his voice.
"Yes, I understand." Qin Gucheng nodded, but his head remained lowered.
Li Hu sighed as he looked at Qin Gucheng.
Then he raised the katana in his hand, looked at the two cuts on it, and sighed again.
"Stop AFK! Hurry up and use your iron plate to block our damage!"
Ye Ciqing was launched into the air by a stone pillar that rose from the ground. Watching the approaching explosion, he roared at Keke, who was crouching down with her head in her hands.
"No, no, I can't help it." Keke, her voice trembling with tears streaming down her face.
"My ability only works on cubical metal; once the shape changes, I lose control..."
Keke looked at the iron block that had been twisted into a pretzel and burst into tears again.
"I'm speechless, what a garbage ability!"
Ye Ciqing waved his hand, and several bones flew in front of him, blocking the explosion, before he landed steadily on the ground.
"Shameless! Two instructors at the ' High Rank ' level ganged up on three of us new recruits! Do you have no conscience?!" Ye Ciqing conjured a bone spear in his hand and angrily threw it at one of the instructors.
The instructor slightly raised his hand, and a stone wall rose up, blocking the spear.
