Chapter 1110: Screening Team Members
Ye Liuyun has been busy cultivating during this period; if it weren't for a clone assisting his cultivation, his progress would have been even slower.
Now he and his clone together fully employ the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, absorbing and condensing the Mysterious Origin. It is estimated that in short order his realm will break through again.
Inside the Xuan Kong Shi, everyone and the Monster Beast know that Ye Liuyun is about to have a great battle, so each person is diligently cultivating, seizing the time to improve strength.
At daybreak, Ye Liuyun promptly rushed to the training ground.
What he did not expect was that his teammates had already arrived early.
Moreover, they independently arranged the formation, lining up straight, with no one whispering or commenting.
In contrast, members of the other teams showed envious expressions on their faces.
Feng Changming had already been waiting here.
At this moment he was surrounded by a group of disciples, all of whom had requested to join Ye Liuyun's team.
It turned out that these disciples, after communicating last night, without needing comparison, all knew that following Ye Liuyun gave a greater chance of survival.
So they immediately expressed their desire to join Ye Liuyun's team.
This unintentionally boosted the honor of Ye Liuyun's teammates. Thus, as soon as they arrived at the training ground in the morning, they voluntarily formed a line to welcome Ye Liuyun.
Even Feng Changming was surprised by the change in these disciples.
"It seems a good leader can indeed affect a family's future!" Feng Changming thought to himself.
He immediately decided that if Ye Liuyun defeats the Cheng Clan this time, he will apply to the family, sparing no cost, to keep Ye Liuyun.
He also knows this is relatively difficult. In terms of status, wealth, and even women, Ye Liuyun lacks nothing.
But for the future of the Feng Clan, he feels any price is worth it.
When Ye Liuyun entered, he was immediately welcomed by everyone.
In contrast, Feng Wanxing was completely ignored and stood alone, isolated.
Soon after, Feng Yuanhai also arrived.
He had only been temporarily shocked yesterday and fainted. Because of a divine artifact's protection, his injuries were not serious.
However, everyone's gaze at him was full of mockery; no one approached to greet him.
Everyone knew that Feng Yuanhai opposed Ye Liuyun and was utterly defeated.
And Ye Liuyun was clearly to become the final Team Leader.
Thus they all wanted to distance themselves from Feng Yuanhai and Feng Wanxing, lest Ye Liuyun kick them out of training.
Even Feng Wanxing kept a far distance from Feng Yuanhai. Yet he felt uneasy and dared not lift his head.
Feng Yuanhai also knew he was unwelcome, but he stubbornly remained there. Though others' mockery humbled him, he had no intention of leaving training.
Ye Liuyun observed both of their behavior.
What he cared most about was their attitude toward him.
But he found that their gazes toward him were not filled with hatred.
"It seems they're not beyond saving!"
Ye Liuyun also thought these two might merely suffer from the aristocratic arrogance, and decided to give them another chance.
"All right, everyone is present!" Feng Changming said at this moment: "Today I will announce an important matter: the family has decided that Ye Liuyun will serve as your Team Leader for this occasion…"
Before he finished speaking, the disciples below began to cheer.
Feng Yuanhai and Feng Wanxing cast complicated looks at Ye Liuyun, mixing envy with worry.
Feng Changming waved his hand, silencing the disciples, and continued: "Your life‑and‑death authority is also handed to Ye Liuyun. From now on, your training is under Ye Liuyun's charge. I only assist."
Upon hearing this, some disciples still felt uneasy.
Because they had all heard that Ye Liuyun truly killed someone yesterday!
But Ye Liuyun's former teammates were indifferent. They all knew he was not one to misuse authority casually.
Next, Feng Changming directly handed these disciples over to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun first addressed the disciples below the stage: "You all know I can truly kill! So decide now—either obey orders or quit immediately; don't wait for me to act."
He waited a moment, saw no one leaving, and said directly: "Since no one quits, we will begin today's training. Apart from my teammates from yesterday, everyone else, come introduce your strength to me."
Ye Liuyun did not waste words, but immediately began questioning each person, then, based on their traits, assigned them into the battle formation.
Only at the end did Feng Yuanhai and Feng Wanxing find Ye Liuyun.
"Previously I was wrong, I shouldn't have opposed you; I hope you can forgive me!"
Feng Yuanhai came up and directly apologized to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun smiled: "Competition is not wrong! But competition is meant to improve each other, not to belittle each other."
Then he added: "I'm not that petty, nor will I hold a grudge against you! This is a major matter for the Feng Clan, and also for the younger generation. I hope you, too, can think more for the greater picture!"
Feng Yuanhai looked at Ye Liuyun and nodded seriously.
Then Feng Wanxing, following suit, apologized to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun magnanimously did not hold a grudge against the two, and likewise placed them into the battle formation.
Moreover, to train these new members, Ye Liuyun positioned them at the front of the team.
Even Feng Changming kept nodding continuously. Ye Liuyun's magnanimity indeed did not disappoint him.
That day's drills were smoother than when he first trained his own team.
Because they knew the power of the formation and that Ye Liuyun truly could strike lethal blows, they unusually adhered to the rules when faced with profit and threat.
Afterward, Ye Liuyun had the new and old members practice offensive drills against each other.
The training results even surprised Feng Changming.
"Rest for one hour. After one hour, line up and enter the Secret Realm for real combat. This also marks the official selection of the final candidates to enter the Secret Realm."
Ye Liuyun also announced the official start of selecting the final candidates.
Everyone dispersed on the spot; some rested and meditated, others went back to fetch items and make preparations.
Feng Xiaoxiao directly ran over to find Ye Liuyun.
"Big Brother Ye, you won't eliminate me, will you?" Feng Xiaoxiao's realm is a bit lower, and she fears Ye Liuyun will eliminate him.
Ye Liuyun, however, laughed and said: "Whether you're eliminated or not depends on your own performance! I can only tell you, the realm is not my only standard."
Actually, Ye Liuyun is still quite satisfied with Feng Xiaoxiao's performance.
