167: Boys and girls growing up

The Yuanhuang Squad's evening simulated training made Xiao Fan, who had been proficient in various combat techniques since childhood, begin to question his life.

There's a saying, 'scattered like stars, gathered like a pile of shit,' which perfectly describes the current situation of the Yuanhuang Squad.

Furthermore, Xiao Fan himself had almost no team combat experience. Well, it wasn't just him; no one in the entire team had ever fought a formal team battle.

Kong Fangxiang couldn't use Lawful Utterance casually; if the opponent was too strong, the backlash would be too great, and he'd be better off fighting with his fists as if possessed by a demon.

Destiny was even more unreliable; besides affecting Zhuge Tianming himself and Xiao Wu, it couldn't be used on anyone else.

Lin Xianhuo was a typical example of having no team awareness whatsoever. She'd get carried away in a fight, charging forward with her Fire God Blade, often getting separated from the team. Xiao Fan would shout himself hoarse into his headset, but she seemed not to hear, or if she did, her reaction was delayed.

The one who performed best, surprisingly, was Yun Jinyu. Perhaps because he was willing to play a supporting role, he honestly stayed at the very back, constantly using his abilities to create layers of wooden shields, ice barriers, and even fortresses, protecting Ding Dong and Xiao Fan inside.

Xiao Fan also planned to focus on a support role because his Space Laws, if used at the right moment, could have miraculous effects!

Finally, Xiao Fan thought to himself, 'Let's take it slow; there's still time.' He believed his team had huge potential that just hadn't been developed yet, and they would definitely get better day by day. But he would absolutely not seek out Ling Tianlei for sparring, because he felt he probably couldn't beat him.

Little did he know, Ling Tianlei was even more frustrated.

Lin Lianshen and Nicole completely let themselves go; he wondered if their brains had been squeezed by a door.

One was singing, the other was riding on wind-fire wheels, and after fighting for a bit, both of them would disappear. When they returned, they'd start giggling foolishly, leaving him speechless.

The remaining four team members, however, were fine and quite cooperative.

Until a team member cautiously told Ling Tianlei, 'Actually, sometimes when you fight, your attacks are indiscriminate. Look, my butt has been electrocuted three times by you.'

Ling Tianlei could only smile sheepishly.

And their team wasn't even the worst.

Ye Kuang's team was the worst. The entire team of seven had no team awareness, fighting individually. They would scatter during a fight, and Ye Kuang's two Myth-Grade subordinates, both with significant backgrounds, often argued until their faces were red and necks were thick, blaming each other, and eventually even came to blows.

It would be quite a spectacle if, during the team ranking competition, the members of the Dragon King Squad started fighting each other.

Xi He, not to mention, had no communication throughout. Every time she fought, she'd get angry, feeling her teammates had no brains, and would be so infuriated she'd want to beat them up, then burn Wang Qingtian to vent her frustration.

Ying Zheng, on the other hand, had the best synergy. All seven Calabash Brothers played support, with Ying Zheng as the main damage dealer, simple and brutal.

The Light Squad, originally held in high regard, was even more indescribable. The captain, Song Mingguang, seemed to be a love-struck fool, constantly running off to find Hei. After being given the cold shoulder, he'd return with his head down, heartbroken and completely uninterested in training. This happened every day, and his team members were almost driven to despair.

While others had unreliable team members, their team actually had an unreliable captain, and this captain was the one who initially seemed the most dependable.

Therefore, Xiao Fan's subsequent days were a process of adaptation, as his daily rhythm underwent many changes.

During the day, he had to do all sorts of strange tasks, helping people water flowers and plant trees, doing manual labor, and getting up early in the morning to make Longjing tea for an old lady.

The old lady was very gentle and had a kind smile. Although her face was full of wrinkles and her hair was white, her demeanor was incredibly elegant.

Time never defeats a beauty!

The old lady liked to hold her Longjing tea and bask in the sun. The hot steam enveloped her, and she would quietly look at the sky, perhaps staring blankly for an entire morning, her gaze reflecting all that had passed.

Now, Xiao Fan maximized all his daily tasks, earning over a thousand super god points.

Many people couldn't understand this, wondering, 'Is this guy crazy from poverty?'

These thousand-plus points weren't easy to earn. He had to get up early every morning and work until evening, like a laborer, and the tasks were repetitive every day. For the Geniuses of the Super God Class, this was truly a torment.

And a thousand points really weren't much. The items these Geniuses coveted almost all cost hundreds of thousands of points, or even millions. They wouldn't even bother to glance at Divine-Grade Martial Arts; they all had to be the best Myth-Grade ones.

How long would it take to earn a thousand points a day? It was better to strive for good rankings in various competitions and training camps.

However, everyone had to admit that Xiao Fan was truly diligent.

During this time, Xiao Fan's relationship with Grand Secretary Liu grew better and better.

When Grand Secretary Liu learned that several of his formulas were all correct, he was so excited that he even played a song and started dancing in his office, completely letting himself go.

Then, he had a crazy idea and decided to start writing even more explosive formulas, but Xiao Fan felt that this Gelao might be overestimating him a bit.

My Physical Body isn't that strong yet!

Things like 'storm plus volcanic eruption with Space Laws injected' were too outrageous.

Xiao Fan felt he would explode into fragments and turn to dust on the spot.

However, to his surprise, through their continuous discussions, they actually came up with a big killer move!

Using the principle of a hydrogen bomb to highly compress three elements—wind, lightning, and wood—to produce Fusion, combined with a volcanic eruption, the impact force was terrifying, capable of blasting a large hole in the walls of the Element Test Chamber.

This was already extremely frightening.

Because this was Di Yi Academy's Element Test Chamber, and its four high walls were made of the Materials with the highest anti-Demonic Technique properties!

Xiao Fan named this move Nuclear explosion fire. Although it currently required several seconds to charge, he could use it and then use a teleportation gate for precise targeting, so he didn't have to worry about accuracy.

Thus, the first form of Calamity, Nuclear explosion fire, was initially completed.

However, Grand Secretary Liu was still not satisfied. Every day, he would look at Xiao Fan with extremely hungry eyes, as if he were a peerless beauty, and then kindly persuade him, hoping he would try to fuse Space Laws with elements.

Xiao Fan really didn't dare to mess around; it wouldn't be good if he actually disappeared.

Zheng Qiong, seeing Revered Master and Xiao Fan's relationship grow closer, completely gave up, feeling helpless.

What else could he do?

Finally, two weeks passed, and Xiao Fan decided to give the poorly integrated Yuanhuang Squad a break, saying it was for work-life balance. But in reality, the Martial Arts Pinnacle Tower was opening tomorrow.

Xiao Fan was going to climb the Tower.

And the Martial Arts Pinnacle Tower also had a ranking list, so this matter immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. Myth-Grade Geniuses were all proud and hoped to secure a place on the ranking!

But before that, Xiao Fan's Heavenly Heart and Six Viscera had been completely Cultivated.

He walked excitedly towards the Element Test Chamber because he felt a more powerful force beckoning him.

He discovered that Yuanhuang Form seemed to be just an embryo!

Myriad Paths Heavenly Devil Art still had deeper mysteries!

He would know tonight after testing it!
