60: Meihu Island
After a brief tactical briefing, the team battle was about to officially begin.
Gao Feng even encouraged everyone for this.
"Everyone, don't feel pressured. Attack as soon as you see them. Even if you injure them, it's a huge profit."
"Let them taste our power!"
Xu Lihuang also nodded in agreement, concurring with this statement.
This speech instantly cleared the minds of Chu Xin and Ling Shi, who were originally a bit unconfident.
That's right, it's normal for us to lose. The other side is different; they should be the ones worrying.
At this moment, the four members of the school team, led by Li Shuheng, were discussing.
"Everyone, be serious. If we win, we need to win beautifully."
"Otherwise, Teacher Gu, you all understand."
Upon hearing this, they all nodded heavily. Everyone understood this.
"Alright, is everyone almost ready?"
"We can start. You guys, don't be too serious, and be careful with your attacks."
This was just a sparring session; it wouldn't be good to get genuinely angry.
The two teams stood on opposite sides, then summoned all their Beasts, ready for battle.
As Gu Zhenbang's starting signal fell,
the two sides instantly engaged in battle. Everyone's objective was very clear: attack the core directly.
For a time, the field was filled with various skills: currents, vines, wind blades, and more appeared wantonly across the arena.
The four school team members did not use any high-level skills; otherwise, this sparring session would be meaningless, and the battle would end instantly.
Gao Feng's Sky Feather Eagle dodged attacks in the air while also seizing opportunities to attack below. In the back and forth, it was hit a few times, but fortunately, the offensive power was not too high after being offset by defensive skills.
Meanwhile, Li Shuheng's Lightning Spirit Cat could attack steadily under the protection of Lei Wu's Martial Giant Ape, and the situation quickly became one-sided.
At this moment, Lin Shu directed his Black Night to ambush in the chaotic battle. His main target was not the Lightning Spirit Cat.
After all, with protection, he couldn't achieve a single-point breakthrough at the moment, so he aimed his attacks at Chen Yujia's Water Ripple Element and Lan Mengzhu's Grass Vine Wildwood, which also protected his own safety.
It seemed the two girls hadn't expected to become targets and had no defenses whatsoever.
They simply threw their skills at the Frost Battle Penguin.
Black Night loved such situations, as waves of blade energy came from behind him.
By the time the two girls reacted, they had already been attacked. Although they took hits, the damage wasn't too great, as there was quite a level difference.
They only sustained minor injuries, and when they tried to catch the ambusher, they found he had already vanished.
Thus, Black Night moved on the edge of a knife, attacking indiscriminately.
This caused a lot of trouble for the four school team members, who decided to deal with this annoying mantis first.
Facing the encirclement of four Beasts, Black Night naturally couldn't resist. He was controlled in place, unable to move, and directly lost combat capability.
What followed was a one-sided battle, and Lin Shu's team was quickly defeated.
A battle surprisingly took ten minutes, and their Beasts still had many visible wounds.
Gu Zhenbang was very displeased to see this scene.
"You guys are really impressive, only taking ten minutes, and without your Beasts being seriously injured."
"You defeated your junior classmates whose average Beast level is only 25."
Hearing such obvious sarcastic remarks, the four lowered their heads in shame. They hadn't expected Lin Shu's Beast to be so troublesome to deal with; its speed was too fast and it was too evasive.
They also lacked experience in defending against assassin-type Beasts, and for a moment, they couldn't think of a countermeasure.
"You all should think about it yourselves."
"How should you deal with such situations in the future?"
"You're just bullying the junior classmates because their Beast levels aren't high enough."
"Otherwise, you all, hmph."
Gu Zhenbang snorted with a displeased expression.
Lin Shu hadn't expected that his actions would expose everyone's problems.
However, this was also a good thing. It was much better to be embarrassed now than during a competition.
"Teacher Xu, go to the medical office and call someone over."
"Once they're healed, we'll continue."
"I want to see if you're truly foolish."
After the medical treatment, everyone began several more rounds of sparring.
However, Black Night's surprise attacks in these subsequent rounds were not very effective. With precautions in place, he couldn't achieve such good results.
Gu Zhenbang's expression only returned to normal after seeing the improvement.
The day's training ended there, and everyone left the school team and returned to their rooms.
Lin Shu picked up his phone to check if the questions he asked that morning had been resolved.
He found that, apart from his mentor, no one else had thought of such a place.
"Why would he think of going to the Otherworld? What's going on?"
"Forget it, I won't ask too many questions."
Gu Li was also quite surprised when he saw Lin Shu's message. Was this some special hobby?
He thought about it again. Since there was such a need, he would just help his student.
"My Black Night, after all, likes the environment in the Otherworld, and his level-up speed has increased quite a bit."
Although his mentor didn't ask too many questions about the reason, Lin Shu still roughly explained why.
Black Night had to take the blame for this.
Black Night lay on his side, seemingly sensing that his name was mentioned. His two antennae on his head spun non-stop like antennas.
Gu Li also stroked his chin in thought after seeing Lin Shu's reply.
Staying in the Otherworld increased his level-up speed by quite a bit?
Beasts were diverse, and each species and individual was different, with varying physiques.
He had encountered many such special cases in his many years as a Beastmaster.
It was also within his acceptable range.
"Okay, I understand."
"I do know a few such places. The most suitable one currently is Meihu Island in Haizhou."
"However, I don't have much free time during this period."
Looking at the place recommended by his mentor, Lin Shu's face lit up with joy. It was good to have a place; as for his mentor being busy, it didn't matter.
"Thank you, mentor, for your help."
"It's okay, I can go by myself."
"No, after all, the Otherworld is still unsafe."
"It just so happens that your Big Brother Wu Song has time, so let him take you. It's also good for your protection."
Gu Li rejected Lin Shu's suggestion to go to the Otherworld alone, as his Beast's level was currently low.
If any accident occurred in the Otherworld, he wouldn't be able to protect himself and still needed someone to accompany him.
Lin Shu also didn't refuse; his mentor was very right.
"Then I'll trouble mentor and Big Brother Wu."
"No problem. Next Monday, another instructor will take over the Praying Mantis Martial Hall."
"So the earliest would be Monday."
"No problem, this time is quite good."
"Alright then, you can contact Wu Song when the time comes."
"Okay, mentor."
And so, the conversation ended.
Lin Shu put down his phone, a smile on his face. This time, he had solved one of his problems.
He just hoped there would be more wild Beasts on Meihu Island.
That way, he could grind more proficiency...
