Chapter 270: Three-Time Consecutive Weekly Best (Second Update, Requesting Everything)

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap—

In the room, a dense sound of clapping collisions rang out; one by one, the runes shattered completely, declaring yet another failed attempt by Li Zhangsheng.

Haa—

Li Zhangsheng let out a light breath and muttered to himself, "That's the 37th failure!"

Ever since his cultivation increased greatly after consuming the Star Fruit, Li Zhangsheng had wanted to condense the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Secret Technique Imprint, but unfortunately, after dozens of attempts, not a single one had succeeded.

The Bloodthirsty Frenzy Secret Technique Imprint was composed of over two hundred runes; if even the slightest mistake occurred during the process, or if he was even a fraction of a second too slow, it would ultimately end in failure.

At this time, the morning glow had already appeared on the horizon, and there was one hour left until the assembly.

Li Zhangsheng did not immediately proceed to the next attempt, but instead worked hard to calm the distracting thoughts in his heart to avoid affecting his state of mind, while simultaneously recalling the steps just taken to find his errors.

Li Zhangsheng did not want to make the same mistake a second time.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng opened his eyes. Even though he had not slept all night, his spirit remained vigorous.

"Again!"

Li Zhangsheng had a resilient personality; even after failing 37 times in a row, he showed no signs of decadence. Each failure made his movements more proficient and allowed him to accumulate a wealth of experience from failure.

After adjusting his mental state to its optimal level, Li Zhangsheng's ten fingers flew, pinching out exceptionally complex hand seals. His movements were extremely fast, and only streaks of Residual Shadow could be seen.

At the same time, in Li Zhangsheng's Consciousness Sea, 92 starlights shone brilliantly, and wisps of Mental Power began to linger around his fingertips. Following his actions, they finally transformed into an illusory ball of Mental Power light.

The next moment, the ball of light began to spin rapidly, manifesting profound and unfathomable runes that circled around Li Zhangsheng according to a certain rule.

Before these runes dissipated, Li Zhangsheng had to condense the Secret Technique Imprint first, otherwise, this attempt would once again end in failure.

This was undoubtedly a very difficult task; the difficulty of an Advanced Secret Technique's imprint was not on the same level as an Intermediate one.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng successfully condensed over two hundred runes. These runes floated and sank around him, ethereal and uncertain, operating according to a specific rule.

Without hesitation, before the runes dissipated, Li Zhangsheng's hand seals changed. Under the control of his Mental Power, these runes began to combine one by one in a specific way.

Hum, hum—

Soon, a nearly tangible Secret Technique Imprint took shape. A humming sound rang out in the void, faintly resonating with the surrounding heaven and earth.

"Success!" Looking at the Secret Technique Imprint in front of him, Li Zhangsheng no longer kept a stern face and revealed an expression of relief.

Under the control of his Mental Power, the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Secret Technique Imprint turned into a streak of light, instantly surging into Li Changsheng's Seal Hall acupoint and disappearing.

It was also at this moment that, with Li Zhangsheng as the center, a mysterious and profound special fluctuation swept through the surroundings once again.

Hum—

The moment he accepted the Secret Technique Imprint, a hum sounded in the void once more. Li Zhangsheng's body trembled uncontrollably like a winnowing sieve; his aura was deep and vast like the sea, mysterious and unfathomable, and it was a long time before it finally calmed down.

In his Consciousness Sea, the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Secret Technique Imprint surged into the depths of Li Zhangsheng's soul, going deeper than the Breath Concealment Secret Technique and the Mental Acceleration Secret Technique.

In the future, he would only need a single thought to instantly activate the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Secret Technique, provided, of course, that he had enough Mental Power.

Half an hour later, Li Zhangsheng finished his personal hygiene and began to rendezvous with his teammates to continue the task.

This time, they were still performing a Difficult-level Task to kill a wanted criminal.

……

Ten days later, Yuanling Academy!

On this day, Li Zhangsheng led his team back to Yuanling Academy.

This was already his third time leading a team, and his teammates had naturally changed again. Like the results of his previous two times leading, his team still had no casualties, and they had been the best team of the week for three consecutive times, stabilizing his reputation and status.

Li Zhangsheng's squad returned to the First-Year Elite Class classroom immediately.

Compared to two weeks ago, the First-Year Elite Class had lost three more members; one was eliminated, while the other two lost their lives during the execution of tasks. Unexpectedly, one of them was a Second-Rank Beast Master.

In one month, the number of Second-Rank students in the Elite Class had shown a trend of erupting; every week, people advanced to the Second Rank. At this time, the remaining 14 people had almost all reached the Second Rank.

When Li Zhangsheng sat in his seat, his desk-mate Zhang Yi hurriedly said, "Brother Li, congratulations on being the best team of the week again!"

Before Li Zhangsheng could reply, Luo Jie leaned over proactively, holding his head high and saying proudly, "That goes without saying, just look at who is leading the team! I feel that as long as Brother Li is the captain, even if he were leading a few pigs, they could still become the best team of the week!"

The Thousand Mechanism Fan in Luo Jie's hand had the four characters 'Self-Satisfied' written on it. It was no wonder he was self-satisfied, as it was just this week that Luo Jie had become Li Zhangsheng's teammate.

"It's a pity I couldn't be in a team with Brother Li!" Zhang Yi said, opening his conspicuous Thunder God Mouth, and could not help but sigh. He and Li Zhangsheng were both captains, so naturally, they could not be assigned to the same squad.

While the Yuanling Three Musketeers were chatting, four Instructors arrived at the classroom together. When Instructor Lu Qian stood on the podium, the previously lively atmosphere was instantly cleared away.

"The old rules: first, eliminate the student who performed the worst this week!"

As soon as Instructor Lu Qian's voice fell, the expressions of most students became serious, fearing that Instructor Lu Qian would call their names.

"Wang Ding, you are eliminated!" This time, Instructor Lu Qian did not hide anything and directly stated the name of the eliminated student.

Li Zhangsheng shook his head; he had somewhat anticipated this result. Wang Ding had been his teammate during the first period, but unfortunately, he still had not advanced to the Second Rank even now. Especially since his team was at the bottom this period, the evaluation of him would naturally not be high.

Upon hearing his own name, Wang Ding's expression did not change much; clearly, he had prepared in advance.

However, Wang Ding could not help but feel unwilling in his heart; if he were given a little more time, he believed he would definitely be able to advance to the Second Rank.

Unfortunately, he no longer had the chance!

No matter how hard he worked, he was ultimately still First Rank. Due to the gap in strength, his contribution could not be compared to the Second-Rank students.

Wang Ding took a deep breath and handed his student token and the Academy Medal representing an Elite Class student to Instructor Lu Qian.

"I believe that with your diligence, you will definitely be able to take a step further before long. I hope to see you here again next year!"

Instructor Lu Qian offered a word of comfort, and while confiscating the medal, he transferred 100 Academic Credits to Wang Ding's student token.

Wang Ding took the student token, bowed solemnly to the instructors, and left the Elite Class with a lonely back.

In this way, the number of students in the First-Year Elite Class plummeted to 13.

After Wang Ding left, Instructor Lu Qian continued, "The best team of the week this time is still Li Zhangsheng's squad. I will first announce the rewards given to them!"
