"We have a fully furnished guest room if you really intend on staying here tonight." Yuan said to the Manager and pointed at a certain room down the hallway.
"I don't need any room." The Manager said, and she proceeded to leave the building, returning to the training area with the sealed demon.
"Does she really intend on staying out there the whole night? It makes me feel kind of guilty." Chu Liuxiang asked out loud as she looked at the Manager's lonely figure through the window in their room.
"Let her do as she pleases. It's not like I didn't offer her a room." Yuan said.
The following morning, after a light breakfast, everyone gathered at the training area.
"Since we stopped with the first group yesterday, the second group will start things off today."
"Meixiu, Wang Ming, Shi Lang, Wang Bingbing, and Wu Zao. You're up." Yuan said to them.
Once they were prepared after a short warmup, Yuan removed the seal on the demon for the third time.
"FUCKING LIVESTOCKS! HOW DARE YOU MESS WITH ME?!" The demon immediately became enraged the moment it came out of its seal.
"Let's go!"
Wang Ming was the first to act, followed by Shi Lang.
After Yuan's lecture yesterday, they focused on trying to suppress their fear towards the demon as they confronted it.
Of course, it was easier said than done, and they were still overwhelmed by fear for the first few minutes. freeweɓnøvel.com
However, as they fought the demon, their fear began to reduce, allowing them to fight more efficiently.
Wang Ming's sword attacks were sharp and powerful. Shi Lang was incredibly precise with his spear.
The two of them danced beside each other in front of the demon to keep it at bay from the others, who would attack the demon from its blindspot.
Because of their near perfect teamwork, the demon could barely retaliate, and when it would try to retaliate, an arrow would appear from its blindspot and blow a hole in its face, halting its movements for a second, which is enough for the others to catch their breath and continue their onslaught.
After ten minutes of relentless effort from group two, the demon became sealed again.
"I'm exhausted." Wang Ming fell onto his butt afterward.
"Did you guys secretly practice together? I must say, your teamwork is almost impeccable." Yuan asked them.
"No, but if you spar enough with someone, you subconsciously predict their movements and instinctively react accordingly." Shi Lang said.
"Yes, and since we all lived in the same place, we all ended up training with each other." Wang Bingbing said.
"Furthermore, there are not many disciples within the Jaded Garden that could keep up with us, so we end up practicing with each other more than we like." Wang Ming sighed.
"I see… It makes perfect sense then." Yuan nodded.
After pondering for a moment, he asked them, "Do you guys feel confident enough to fight the demon by yourselves now? If you're not, we can continue fighting in smaller groups."
"Fighting the demon alone?" They all swallowed nervously at such a thought.
Seeing their reaction, Yuan smiled, "I guess it's still too early. After all, it's only the second day. Alright, you will continue fighting in groups, but since it's clearly too easy with your current numbers, I will split the group even smaller."
"The new first group will be Wang Ming, Xi Murong, and Meixiu."
