Chapter 259: Purifying the Black Dragon Bloodline (Third update, for 21,000 recommendations)

Two days later, in the First-Year Elite Class classroom!

At this time, it was once again time to decide the teams; unlike last time, there were only three team leaders this time: Li Zhangsheng, Zhao Shuyi, and Zhang Yi.

Hmm, Xu Xiangzhi had been demoted!

Last week, Xu Xiangzhi's performance was too poor, which was also the main reason he was demoted.

There were 17 students left in the First-Year Elite Class. This time, the drawing process was as follows: each of the three team leaders would first randomly select four team members, and the remaining two students would be assigned by Instructor Lu Qian based on the strength of the teams.

During the drawing, most of the students stared intently at Li Zhangsheng, hoping that Li Zhangsheng would draw them.

If Xu Xiangzhi's performance as a team leader last week could be described as extremely terrible, then Li Zhangsheng's performance could be described as very excellent; he led his team to win the Weekly Best Team with an overwhelming advantage, and what's more, not a single person died, he was kind to others, and he was recognized by the Elite Class as the strongest.

As long as one could latch onto this big shot, there was a significant possibility of simply lying back and winning.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng was the first to go on stage and casually drew four slips of paper.

"Li Jingyi, Li Runfeng, Li Tianyu, and Chen Yunsheng!"

When reading the names, Li Zhangsheng was visibly surprised; this was just too coincidental, and he couldn't help but glance at Instructor Lu Qian, who was standing to the side.

"This old man can guarantee fairness, openness, and impartiality!" How could Instructor Lu Qian not see that Li Zhangsheng was doubting him?

This could only be called a coincidence; besides, there were only 14 slips of paper in the box in total, so the probability of drawing the other three members of the Li Clan Four Heroes had not reached the point of being negligible.

After the drawing, Li Zhangsheng returned to his seat. He expressed great satisfaction with this drawing; the other three members of the Li Clan Four Heroes were all Second Rank and were also clansmen with whom he had a good relationship. As for the final person, Chen Yunsheng, he was his teammate from last week, and they had already developed a certain level of tacit understanding.

"The Weekly Best is in the bag!" Li Zhangsheng thought to himself. His luck this time was too good; if such a team couldn't win the Weekly Best, then he might as well jump into a latrine and eat dung.

On the other side, the expressions of Zhao Shuyi and Zhang Yi were both unsightly, but they still suppressed the displeasure in their hearts and finished the drawing.

Both of their expressions were unsightly; it was clear that their luck was not very good.

"For the last two extra students, I will use them to balance the teams! Wang Ding, you go to Zhao Shuyi's team; Luo Jie, you go to Zhang Yi's team!"

Under the arrangement of Instructor Lu Qian, the two extra people were assigned to the other two teams, giving them a numerical advantage.

Both of these teams had three Second Rank students; Zhao Shuyi's squad had Xu Xiangzhi and a Second Rank student who had recently advanced, while Zhang Yi's squad had Luo Jie and Yuan Yongyan.

Although they were inferior to Li Zhangsheng's squad in the number of Second Rank students, the individual abilities of Xu Xiangzhi, Luo Jie, and Yuan Yongyan were stronger than the other three members of the Li Clan Four Heroes, and these two squads also held a numerical advantage. From the perspective of the lineup, it seemed that anyone had the possibility of becoming the Weekly Best.

However, true combat power cannot be judged solely by appearances. Li Zhangsheng's squad knew each other well, and in terms of tacit understanding and cooperation, they were undoubtedly far superior to the other two squads; this point alone could give them a great advantage.

During the assignment session, Li Zhangsheng drew Instructor Qian Yuanfei again. He did not feel disappointed; after all, Instructor Qian Yuanfei's strength was there, and possessing a top-grade unicorn, he could even be compared to Instructor Lu Qian.

"This is the task list; take a look at what kind of task you want to accept?" Instructor Qian Yuanfei handed the task list to Li Zhangsheng. Given Li Zhangsheng's cautious mindset, he could almost guess that he would choose an Ordinary-level Task again.

Unfortunately, the reality was different from what Instructor Qian Yuanfei imagined.

After discussing with his teammates, Li Zhangsheng pointed to the task list and said, "We will accept a Difficult-level Task for clearing out Demonized Fairies!"

If they were teammates he wasn't very familiar with, Li Zhangsheng would still choose to play it safe, but the teammates he drew this time were all acquaintances, so there was no need to consider cooperation issues. Moreover, compared to last week's team, his teammates were also more capable.

"Alright, this is your task information!"

Instructor Qian Yuanfei shrugged and handed a piece of paper to Li Zhangsheng, which contained the detailed information of the task.

Task: Clear out the Demonized Fairies of Tianhu Mountain!

Objective: Slay one Elite-level Demonized Fairy, three Upper Rank Demonized Fairies, twenty Middle Rank Demonized Fairies, and two hundred Inferior Level Demonized Fairies!

Note: There are no Demonized Fairies above Leader-level in Tianhu Mountain and the surrounding area!

Reward: 300 Academic Credits!

"While it's still early, let's set off now and strive to finish before dark!"

After leaving the Academy, Li Zhangsheng's squad released their Flying Demon Pets one after another and flew toward Tianhu Mountain.

Tianhu Mountain is located within a hundred-mile radius of the Abyss Gate, adjacent to Tianlang Mountain. At the speed of the Flying Demon Pets, they could arrive in one or two hours.

After arriving at Tianhu Mountain, Li Zhangsheng's squad began their assault, resolving all the Demonized Fairies they encountered along the way.

Li Zhangsheng kept his Mental Power projected at all times; whenever he encountered a high-quality Demonized Fairy, he would be delighted by the hunt and, after purifying it, take it for his own use.

……

Boom~

It was now evening, and a Demonized Dadi Manxiong fell heavily to the ground, never to stand up again.

Li Zhangsheng's squad successfully completed their first Difficult-level Task, during which they encountered almost no danger.

"Congratulations on completing the Difficult-level Task; this task rewards 300 Academic Credits! Among them, Li Zhangsheng gets 145 credits, Li Jingyi gets 50 credits, Li Runfeng and Li Tianyu get 40 credits, and Chen Yunsheng gets 25 credits!"

Instructor Qian Yuanfei's voice rang out; Li Zhangsheng had obtained almost half of the reward.

Because his teammates were stronger, Li Zhangsheng's reward inevitably declined, but the overall efficiency had improved to a certain extent. Judging by the current efficiency, they could basically complete one Difficult-level task of clearing Demonized Fairies every day.

Regarding Li Zhangsheng's contribution, his teammates could only express envy; his strength was comparable to a Third-rank Royal Beast Master, his efficiency in slaying Demonized Fairies was extremely high, and the Elite-level Demonized Fairy was finished off by him in a one-on-one fight, with no one else able to intervene.

After digging out the Demon Core and bear gall of the Dadi Manxiong, Li Zhangsheng looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's go to a small town dozens of miles away to rest for the night, and we will continue tomorrow morning. Does anyone have any objections?"

Everyone said in unison, "No!"

Riding their large Flying Demon Pets, they soon arrived at a small town dozens of miles away. This place was just outside the influence of the Demonic Qi, and occasionally, the figures of other Monster Tamers could be seen.

After finishing dinner, Li Zhangsheng went to his room in the inn and took out various materials and tools from his Space Ring.

Among them, there were three barrels of blood from a Venomous Flying Dragon, and one of the barrels had a heart the size of a basketball floating in it; yes, he was preparing to purify the Black Dragon Bloodline.
