Chapter 1111: Magnanimous and Tolerant

There were a few girls in the team, which actually made the team more cohesive.

So if Feng Xiaoxiao didn't make any major mistake, Ye Liuyun wouldn't eliminate her.

As for cultivation level, the eighth and ninth levels of Creation made little difference for battle formations.

In individual combat, Feng Xiaoxiao had a third-rank Earth Sovereign Qing Lin Wolf, which was sufficient to handle danger.

But he couldn't say that now, or else someone would accuse him of favoritism.

"Hmph! I'm ignoring you!" Feng Xiaoxiao pouted and ran off, showing great dissatisfaction.

Ye Liuyun could only smile helplessly.

After an hour, the team regrouped.

Ye Liuyun also invited Feng Changming to join the team for observation.

Before entering the Secret Realm, he reminded everyone present once again.

"If any disciple is eliminated by me, don't waste words—leave immediately, or I'll just strike and kill you!"

He said this warning solely to avoid having eliminated disciples nagging and arguing with him later.

Everyone felt nervous, especially Feng Yuanhai and Feng Wanxing.

They couldn't tell whether Ye Liuyun had truly forgiven them or was just pretending to be magnanimous, so they were quite uneasy.

"Set out!"

At Ye Liuyun's command, the team set out into the Secret Realm.

After entering the Secret Realm, they directly chose to advance along the middle path.

As the team marched, Ye Liuyun began continuously eliminating people.

Those who couldn't keep the pace, were slow to react, or dragged their feet were eliminated even before battle began.

As soon as battle began, Ye Liuyun also summed up each engagement, eliminated some unfit candidates, and constantly adjusted personnel.

Next, some new members, relying on their familiarity with formations, began to show off and recklessly advance.

Likewise, after summarizing, Ye Liuyun eliminated those who sought personal glory.

Soon, the team was reduced to about a hundred people.

These roughly hundred were disciples who followed orders relatively well, reacted quickly, had some countering ability, and knew to prioritize the overall situation.

Feng Yuanhai and Feng Wanxing were still in the team.

They had been acting cautiously all day, fearing Ye Liuyun would catch them at a fault.

The two of them were not only the strongest in strength, but also quicker to learn and comprehend new things, quickly grasping the importance of consistency for this formation.

Therefore, when they trained, they never sought to show off just because they were strong, and sometimes even reminded others not to make mistakes.

Ye Liuyun observed their performance.

"Indeed, smart people learn anything quickly! If these two fix their minor flaws, they could become very useful in the future."

Ye Liuyun directly sent a mental transmission to Feng Changming, recommending he pay attention to these two.

He also made his suggestion: "These two need to be sent out to temper themselves!"

Feng Changming had actually been paying attention to them all along.

He just didn't expect that Ye Liuyun would not only not take revenge on them, but also discover their strengths and recommend them to him.

Their team soon advanced to the monster zone of the ninth level of Creation.

Now, facing these low-level monsters, hardly anyone made mistakes.

So Ye Liuyun needed the team to keep moving forward to test their mentality and reactions under pressure.

In his hand, he also took out the Vajra Divine Bow, ready to provide support at any moment.

Feng Changming also prepared himself to intervene and rescue if needed.

Indeed, when facing first-rank Earth Sovereign monsters, some disciples with unstable minds would reveal their flaws.

Ye Liuyun would then eliminate them, adjust the formation, and continue forward.

Then he led the team into the domains of second- and third-rank Earth Sovereign monsters to test their pressure resistance.

Finally, after locking the team size at sixty, he led everyone out of the Secret Realm.

"That's about enough! Keep ten more as reserves!"

Ye Liuyun also gave Feng Changming the list of the ten people he was about to eliminate.

"Even if these ten are to be eliminated, they should still participate in the training camp. Don't announce it yet, lest it disrupt their training." Ye Liuyun told Feng Changming.

Feng Changming took the list, didn't even look at it, and directly burned it with True Essence.

"It's all up to you to decide—no need to ask me!"

Feng Changming expressed his absolute trust in Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun, without pretense, led the remaining people to continue rehearsing possible dangers they might face.

After that, the training camp became much easier; Ye Liuyun trained formations only half a day each day, then entered the Secret Realm for practical drills every three days.

The remaining time was left for each person to return to cultivation and prepare for entering the Secret Realm.

After ten days passed, because Ye Liuyun delayed announcing the final list, some people couldn't sit still.

The first to come find Ye Liuyun was Feng Xiaoxiao; afterward, Feng Yuanhai and several other disciples also came to see him.

They all worried they might be excluded.

Seeing how worried they were, Ye Liuyun directly announced the final list.

To that end, Ye Liuyun specially talked with those who had been eliminated.

Although those people were very dissatisfied, after Ye Liuyun pointed out their problems, they had nothing to say.

In the end, they all stayed obediently as reserve members, training together.

As for the official team members, Feng Yuanhai, Feng Wanxing, and Feng Xiaoxiao were among them.

Feng Yuanhai and Feng Wanxing, at this moment truly believed that Ye Liuyun was indeed magnanimous, able to set aside past grudges.

In their hearts, they only now began to truly admire Ye Liuyun.

"He really is far stronger than us! No wonder he can become a Prince!" Feng Yuanhai exclaimed to Feng Wanxing while resting.

"Indeed! Just that magnanimous spirit, I truly cannot match!" Feng Wanxing also expressed sincere admiration.

Their current performance also earned the teammates' respect, and under Ye Liuyun's lead, no one mocked them any longer.

Later, Ye Liuyun adjusted the formation, even joining in himself to fight alongside everyone.

In the next real battle, their combat power improved again, now barely able to handle an Earth Sovereign Fourth Layer monster.

This utterly surprised the teammates; some of their Zao Hua Realm disciples actually could stand up to an Earth Sovereign Fourth Layer monster.

Besides training, Ye Liuyun constantly strived to raise his realm.

Finally, before entering the Secret Realm, he raised his realm to Sixfold Creation and stabilized it.

Once his realm rose, his strength surged dramatically.

But he did not become careless because of it.

He still does not know whether Mo Tianheng is foe or friend. Yet he knows Mo Tianheng's strength very well, especially his use of Heaven and Earth Power, far beyond his own.

Moreover, Mo Tianheng's current realm has already reached the Ninth Layer; he is expected to soon ascend to the Earth Sovereign Realm, his cultivation speed far surpassing Ye Liuyun's.
