224: Weakness is the original sin!

"Out of dozens of people, only about ten have guts, and out of those ten, only three have brains—and two of them are girls. Tsk tsk."

Qi Tian watched the crowd grappling with the Green Wind Wolf, sighing.

"They are no match for the Green Wind Wolf."

Xiao Yuan muttered.

Qi Tian shrugged, "They won't die. Even if they do, it's because they're incompetent. In this world, a few deaths are perfectly normal."

In the battleground, the Green Wind Wolf's attacks seemed swift but were not lethal. If it killed one person, it would be killed the next second. However, it had been enraged, and every strike severely wounded the students!

"Wang Xiang, think of something!"

One cold-faced youth shouted at the Dark Element girl.

Wang Xiang frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Xiao Shan and Yu Wei will launch a frontal assault, Xiao Yu will distract its vision, and I will deliver the final blow!"

Hearing this, the other three First-Tier practitioners nodded and simultaneously unleashed their skills, charging forward!

"Blazing Fist!"

"Hurricane Drill!"

"Blazing Sun!"

A sun the size of a basketball shone brightly in front of the Green Wind Wolf, effectively obstructing its vision, and immediately two skills slammed into it!

Boom! Boom!

Although their skills couldn't inflict fatal damage on the Green Wind Wolf, they broke its defense and consumed its energy!

The Green Wind Wolf roared, entering a complete frenzy!

At the same time, a powerful sense of danger suddenly surged in its heart!

But it was too late to dodge!

Poof!

A figure skillfully closed in behind the Green Wind Wolf, and a cold flash swept past; the wolf's tail snapped off immediately!

"Awooo!"

The Green Wind Wolf let out a cry of pain!

"It worked!"

Everyone's face lit up with surprise and joy; the attack had finally taken effect!

After Wang Xiang severed the Green Wind Wolf's tail, she showed no joy; instead, her brows were tightly furrowed!

Because the Green Wind Wolf was now enraged! With its vision restored, it immediately turned around and slammed a claw down toward Wang Xiang!

The force carried by this claw was extraordinary. If Wang Xiang failed to dodge, she would likely be killed instantly!

"Beast!"

"Stop!"

Xiao Shan and the others roared in anger, attempting to provide support.

Wang Xiang's face was pale. She channeled all her power and barely managed to transform into a shadow, escaping just as the wolf claw struck her!

However, her skill range was limited, and she was still within the Green Wind Wolf's attack radius. When her figure was forced to materialize, the Green Wind Wolf attacked again!

Her companions' support arrived, and their skills mercilessly blasted the Green Wind Wolf!

Unfortunately, the opponent was already seeing red and completely ignored their attacks, focusing only on Wang Xiang!

"This is bad!"

The sharp claw struck before her again, and a trace of despair flashed in Wang Xiang's eyes.

Was she still too weak?

Just then, a figure descended from the sky, slamming heavily onto the Green Wind Wolf's back!

The latter's eyeballs immediately became bloodshot, and its body was pressed firmly onto the ground!

Everyone looked toward that figure, realizing it was their instructor, Xiao Yuan!

And then, a youthful figure, hands clasped behind his back, arrived amidst a tread of light, landing steadily beside Xiao Yuan.

It was Qi Tian, oozing confidence.

Qi Tian glanced at the Green Wind Wolf and said lightly, "Can't tell the King from the Ace, huh?"

The Green Wind Wolf whimpered, its eyes filled with terror.

Qi Tian waved his hand, "Xiao Yuan, take it to the kitchen and hand it over to the chef. We're having extra food tonight."

"Understood, Brother Qi."

Xiao Yuan didn't waste any time. Several times smaller than the Green Wind Wolf, he simply dragged the wolf by one of its hind legs toward the kitchen.

Everyone: ... They looked at Qi Tian with eyes full of reverence. This instructor had left too deep an impression on them!

He was practically a demonic existence, incredibly strict with them—the kind who would push them to the brink of death, provided they didn't actually die!

And although he was only two or three years older than them, he had actually cultivated to the terrifying Fifth-Tier!

Was this what a monster was?

In comparison, even the most monstrous students in their class, like Wang Xiang, seemed overshadowed.

Qi Tian looked at the crowd and said softly, "Assemble."

As soon as he spoke, everyone reflexively lined up quickly, terrified that being a second late would result in inhuman torture!

The formation gathered, with some empty spots left over, representing those who were non-combat casualties.

Qi Tian said flatly, "Your performance this time... I am very disappointed!"

Everyone's heart tightened.

Qi Tian scanned the group and then pointed at one person, "You tell me, why am I disappointed?"

The person who was singled out froze for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Reporting! Is it because we didn't dare to counterattack and failed to unite?"

Qi Tian pointed to another person, "You speak."

"Reporting, Instructor. It's because we failed to overcome our fear of the demonic beast."

Qi Tian then looked at Wang Xiang, "Wang Xiang, you speak."

Wang Xiang said calmly, "Instructor, I believe the most fundamental reason is that we are too weak! If we were strong enough, one person could sweep aside the Green Wind Wolf!"

Qi Tian nodded in satisfaction, "What you said makes sense. Weakness is the original sin."

"I won't feed you any inspirational nonsense. The world is like this now: without strength, the only outcome is death! So, you complain every day about the training time being too long... Heh, I want to tell you all, this is not a time of peace. No one will tolerate your bad habits! Do you know about the Little Sun Country? They are currently being invaded by an army of demonic beasts, and hundreds of thousands of people die to these beasts every day. When do you think... it will be the Dragon Country's turn? If that time comes, who will you rely on? Who will your relatives rely on? Will you rely on me? Dream on..."

Everyone listened to Qi Tian's reprimand, not daring to refute him in the slightest, while also showing expressions of deep thought.

Not far away, Mo Ming watched this scene, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

"This kid has finally grown up!"

But the next second, a sentence from Qi Tian made his face darken.

Qi Tian just shrugged and said, "When the Demonic Race invades and the world is destroyed, your instructor will run faster than all of you!"

Everyone: ... Qi Tian smiled faintly, "What's wrong? Did you think your instructor would fight to the death to protect the Human Race for the sake of the greater human cause?"

Xiao Shan raised his hand, "Instructor, isn't that the case? Isn't the reason we cultivate so that we can go to the front lines?"

Qi Tian said lightly, "I hope you continue to maintain that passion."

When you realize that the people you are fighting to protect are a bunch of brainless idiots, you'd rather give up!

That's just how the world is: every man for himself, or be destroyed by heaven and earth!

"Returning to this lesson, everyone except Xiao Li, Wang Xiang, Xiao Shan, Yu Wei, and Zhao Xiaoyu, start running one hundred laps around the track!"

As Qi Tian finished speaking, the crowd didn't wail; they just moved silently, seemingly accustomed to it.

Qi Tian glanced at the few of them and said, "You can go eat now."

Wang Xiang and the others walked silently toward the cafeteria.

When only Qi Tian was left standing there, he sighed, "How boring it is to teach a bunch of rookies! Lao Bai, when are you coming back to take me flying?"

...
