64: It’s great that you think so!

Meanwhile, in another Ancient Battlefield ruin.

Hua Nan Four, a team composed of new students ranked among the top twenty in the South China region.

The three males and two females, hailed by the outside world as ‘South China Geniuses,’ were now utterly dispirited, a chill permeating their entire bodies.

Above them, an dark purple Mantis, exuding an alien and terrifying aura, let out a chilling laugh.

From the five individuals' sweaty states, it was evident they had launched several offensives, but all to no avail.

The Captain of Hua Nan Four had a pale face, his sword-wielding hand trembling slightly:

“What kind of monster is this?”

…

After receiving the reward from his second exclusive treasure chest, Ye Ze was initially delighted, but then couldn't help but wonder:

“Legendary exclusive skill!”

“…Just a temporary skill enhancement, can that really be called legendary quality?”

Among a Summoner's exclusive skills, enhancement types are common, such as strengthening summoned beast attributes, increasing damage, and so on…

Ordinary temporary skill enhancements could at most be considered excellent quality.

Yet, this skill book could reach legendary… which made Ye Ze curious about its effect.

Just then, a notification sounded:

“The Void Hunter has killed 5 trial participants, gaining 5000 experience!”

“Level: 14 (20275/22100)”

Before dealing with these ten people, Ye Ze had sent the Mantis out alone to deal with Hua Nan Four to secure the kills.

Facts proved: an average team, even a full five-person squad, couldn't withstand the Mantis's attacks.

Even if 'average' here referred to the fourth-ranked team selected from countless universities in one of the five major war zones nationwide.

After a spatial fluctuation, the Mantis warped back.

Coincidentally, Ye Ze was about to use the skill enhancement to test its effect on the Mantis's ‘Hunter’ characteristic…

“'Skill Enhancement - Super' is active!”

“Hunter — After defeating a powerful enemy, any body part of the Void Mantis can evolve…”

Enhanced:

“Hunter - Super — After defeating a powerful enemy, four body parts of the Void Mantis evolve simultaneously, and corresponding attributes are increased!”

(When the next skill is enhanced, this skill's enhancement becomes invalid.)

—

After defeating one powerful enemy, from being able to choose only one part to evolve, now it can evolve four parts simultaneously!

At the same time, it can also gain attribute boosts from the evolution of the four parts!

Almost quadrupling the skill's effect!

“As expected of legendary quality!”

It's worth noting that to increase the effect of a legendary skill like ‘Hunter’ by four times, the benefits are unimaginable!

The only pity is that it can only affect one skill at a time.

“But fortunately, I can control it myself; I just need to enhance the ‘Hunter’ effect in time when the Mantis kills a powerful enemy.”

Now, killing one powerful enemy will enhance four body parts, increasing attributes by at least 80 points!

Ye Ze was already impatient.

“I hope there are strong enough opponents in this instance!”

However, hope was rather slim.

Killing fifteen more students, including five from East China, brought in another 7500 military merits.

Adding the previously accumulated 4000, and Ye Ze's own 2150 points, he was almost able to enter the fourth floor of the Demon Suppression Army headquarters' treasury!

At least, a legendary treasure was almost within his grasp.

Ye Ze was even more motivated, and once again activated the copied ‘Hunting Vision’…

However, he unexpectedly discovered that five people were actually charging towards him!

His gaze shifted slightly, quite surprised: “This time, it seems a formidable person has arrived.”

…

A spatial fluctuation appeared, and five people materialized out of thin air not far from the military camp.

“Is the reconnaissance result correct?”

“Yes, there's only one lone person nearby!”

“Either they're the last ‘lone wolf’ of a team, or a guardian. Either way, we can get points!”

Liu Anran, who had asked the question, now looked at the team rankings.

Her Hua Zhong Two team was ranked fifth, with a chance to rise higher.

“Alright.”

Since it was five against one, the five people made no tactical preparations whatsoever.

Liu Anran was currently clad in a light blue magic robe, her starry eyes twinkling, appearing even more mysterious and elegant.

With a wave of her small hand, spatial power directly teleported the five of them to the target location.

And upon seeing Ye Ze before her, Liu Anran's calm expression instantly turned to surprise:

“How is it you?!”

Hearing their Captain's exclamation, the four teammates' movements, which were about to strike, immediately paused.

Ye Ze couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile, “What a coincidence.”

Although this was his Teacher's precious daughter, this was also a Central China team… an extra 300 military merits per person!

Being quick with my attack is my last bit of gentleness.

“You're actually a guardian?”

Liu Anran looked at him with a complex expression, finding it very difficult to understand why Ye Ze would be recruited as an Instructor?

Could it be that her old man used his connections?

It shouldn't be… what benefit would it be for him to have Ye Ze as an Instructor?

Among her teammates, a slender, fair-skinned long-haired youth coldly scrutinized Ye Ze.

As a teammate, he had never seen Liu Anran display such complex emotions.

The long-haired youth's expression was stern… could he be Liu Anran's ex-boyfriend?

Besides an ex-boyfriend, what other identity could make her emotions so complex?

…

Monitoring Department.

Seeing his Hua Zhong Two team facing off against Ye Ze, Wei Zheng immediately became interested and looked at Wan Feipeng with a smile:

“How about it, Old Wan? Shall we make a bet this time?”

Upon hearing this, Wan Feipeng, who had always had great confidence in Ye Ze, immediately fell silent.

Because he had seen the strength of the five members of Hua Zhong Two…

He could only say that Central China truly lived up to its reputation as the strongest of the five major war zones; the strength of its second team was comparable to the first teams of other major regions.

Extremely terrifying!

Although Wan Feipeng had lost his confidence, he was still unconvinced and angrily said:

“If you've got the guts, go one-on-one!”

“What kind of skill is it for your five people to fight one?”

Wei Ping from the headquarters interjected: “You, Instructor, are considered a master even in the Demon Suppression Army; aren't you ashamed to let a group of new students fight you one-on-one?!”

Wan Feipeng snorted coldly, showing an expression of disdainful indifference.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The entire Monitoring Department was filled with cheerful air.

…

In the instance, Liu Anran had no intention of letting Ye Ze off.

In her consideration, if she let Ye Ze go, it would merely allow other teams to harvest points; it was better for her to do it herself!

“Let me say this upfront, this is the Special Training Camp battlefield, and I will not hold back!”

Liu Anran said with an indifferent expression.

Hearing this, Ye Ze also smiled happily:

“It's great that you think that way!”
