"What exactly is your current formation and layout? You should have come up with some plans by now, right?"

Qin Ming looked at Zeng Fu'an and several classmates who seemed to be temporary squad leaders, his tone calm.

He knew that everyone had spent a long time working together and thinking about this graduation assessment, and did not want to forcefully take away the right to speak just because of his temporary addition.

Furthermore, given his current abilities, he is quite confident in his ability to succeed whether he is working with a team or fighting alone.

However, everyone's gaze swept over the three extraordinary spirit beasts behind Qin Ming, and they exchanged glances with each other.

Finally, Zeng Fu'an took the lead and said, "Qin Ming, why don't you tell us your thoughts first?"

"That's right, Qin Ming. With your strength joining us, our side has been completely transformed. Our previous conservative hiding strategy is no longer suitable," another classmate chimed in, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that everyone was more motivated than he had imagined. Their previous strategy of avoiding battle was more of a rational assessment of the difference in strength than a lack of fighting spirit.

This suited him perfectly.

"Okay," Qin Ming said without hesitation. He cleared his throat and walked to the simple sand table in the center of the hall. "Currently, we have a total of 39 people here, including myself, while the opposing 'Hunter' team has 10 people. We have an absolute advantage in numbers."

The crowd nodded; this was one of the main sources of their previous confidence.

"However," Qin Ming changed the subject, "the senior students generally have one more spirit beast contracted than us, which means that the number of spirit beasts they can deploy on the battlefield at the same time may be close to or even exceed 20."

More importantly, there's the level difference. According to my information, two of the opposing team's main spirit beasts have already broken through to level 36, and the main spirit beasts of the other eight are all above level 30.

As Qin Ming slowly recounted these harsh statistics, the slight excitement that had just risen was doused with cold water, and everyone's mood fluctuated again, their faces showing solemnity and dejection.

"However, we are not without a chance of winning." Qin Ming's voice rose a few decibels, filled with encouragement.

"We have the advantage of terrain—this simulated jungle environment is complex, making it easy to hide and maneuver. We also have the advantage of manpower—we have more people, and with proper coordination, we can create a local advantage of numerical superiority."

He paused, then pointed to a spot on the sand table that represented a high vantage point: "The key is that we must find a way to deal with one of their level 36 feathered eagles."

His aerial vision poses a significant threat to our concealment and movement. If the battle drags on and he manages to locate us one by one, the situation will be extremely unfavorable for us.

"Qin Ming," Zeng Fu'an couldn't help but wink and interject curiously, "How do you know so much information? You even know the other party's specific level and the type of spirit beast?"

Qin Ming rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Did you really think I was on vacation these past few days? I have my own ways of getting around to it."

He took out his phone and fiddled with it for a bit. "Never mind, I'll send it to our group chat. You guys can receive the list of hunters and the information on known spirit beasts. Let's brainstorm and see if we can find any breakthroughs or targeted solutions."

"Remember," he lowered his voice, "read this intelligence quietly, don't let it get out."

"We understand!" everyone assured, eagerly taking out their phones to check, and a chorus of exclamations and discussions filled the hall.

With specific information, everyone's thinking immediately became more active.

"These grass-type Pokémon are our No. 2 Burning Fat Squad!" A squad leader pointed to several names on the list, full of confidence.

His main character is a wind-type spirit beast, while his teammates are skilled in fire-type. With wind and fire working together against grass-type, their chances of winning are indeed quite high if they cooperate well.

"Then we'll take on these few who are good at ground raids, our No. 3 digging team! We'll make sure they get stuck in the pits and can't get out!" Another team immediately claimed the target as well.

Shen Yanqing spoke calmly, his sharp gaze sweeping over the list: "Leave that level 36 Feathered Eagle to me and Qin Ming. With my Black Crane and Qin Ming's Keda working together, even if the outcome is uncertain for a short time, we can definitely keep it firmly in the air, preventing it from having any other chances."

With this kind of distribution, the seemingly powerful hunter team appears to be being dismantled little by little.

"Actually, from this perspective, we've already had a give-and-take relationship!" one student exclaimed excitedly, their morale clearly soaring.

"Qin Ming, what are you still thinking about?" Zeng Fu'an noticed that Qin Ming was stroking his chin, and his gaze did not seem to be completely fixed on the sand table or the list. Instead, he would occasionally glance at the chubby boy next to him who was huffing and puffing and seemed to be savoring something.

Qin Ming snapped out of his reverie, a mysterious smile playing on his lips: "Actually, I have another idea. If it goes smoothly, it might be able to turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop. Even if it doesn't go smoothly, there won't be any major losses; consider it a surprise move."

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on him, and Qin Ming glanced at the round figure again, so everyone followed suit.

Seemingly sensing everyone's gaze, the chubby little boy tilted his head back, his eyes filled with confusion: "Huh?"

Little Fatty's spatial abilities previously only allowed him to travel on his own. Although the space inside his body was enormous, it couldn't hold spirit beasts, so it hadn't been exposed much.

But now, with Elder Chu's "endorsement" and Little Fatty's "Void Escape" really needing various practices to improve its stability, Qin Ming felt it was time to show his skills.

"Little Fatty," Qin Ming squatted down and patted his turtle shell, "try later and see if you can... 'send' a few away..."

"Hmm!" Little Fatty snorted and glared, not quite satisfied with Qin Ming's explanation.

"What great training material! It's delivered right to our door. It's much more difficult than live fish and shrimp, and it can even talk and give feedback!" Qin Ming encouraged patiently.

The chubby boy tilted his head and thought about it. It seemed to make sense.

"Qin Ming, what kind of riddle are you playing? Does Little Fatty have some kind of killer move that can decide the outcome?" Zeng Fu'an couldn't help but ask.

Qin Ming smiled and then asked in suspense, "Do you guys know Little Fatty's attributes?"

"Isn't it soil or rock? Or... something like a stomach of steel?" Everyone speculated.

Qin Ming laughed, annoyed. "Who wants to be the first to try? Don't worry, nothing serious will happen, at most... you'll just feel a little dizzy."

The group looked at each other, both curious and a little timid. Finally, one student who had made a contract with the Earth Pig was chosen by the group.

"I...I'll give it a try?" The student looked at the chubby boy, feeling a little apprehensive, but still full of anticipation for the "unique move" Qin Ming had mentioned.

"Little Fatty, go! Be a little more careful," Qin Ming instructed.

"Hmm!" Little Fatty took a deep breath, and the mysterious patterns lit up slightly, with a strange spatial fluctuation emanating from him.

The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, the space in front of Little Fatty distorted like water ripples, and a dark crack appeared!

Before the student and his giant pig could react, an invisible suction force suddenly pulled them in!

The crack closed immediately, as if nothing had happened.

The entire preparation hall was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

"Empty...space!?" Several seconds passed before someone stammered out in surprise, their eyes wide open.

Almost at the same time, on the open ground not far away, space opened up again like a bursting bubble, and with a "poof", it "spit out" the classmate and his earth pig!

The student's face was deathly pale, his eyes were unfocused, and after landing, he staggered a few steps, then suddenly foamed at the mouth with a "whoosh," and tried several times to get up but could not, eventually collapsing to the ground.

The Earth Pig may have had more acute senses than humans. Although it was thick-skinned and tough, it was in just as bad a condition and ended up lying down next to its Spirit Master.

The fervent expressions on the students' faces gradually froze and turned into a deathly silence.

In fact, Little Fatty's "Void Escape" is not unstoppable. If one is prepared or has sufficient energy, one can struggle against it.

However, none of the people and spirit beasts present had ever come into contact with spatial energy before. When they encountered this unimaginable method for the first time, they were momentarily distracted and were swept into it.

Once inside, you have no control over your own destiny.

Qin Ming stroked his chin, feeling that the effect of this move was unexpectedly good.

Sending one "Hunter" to the battle tomorrow is not a loss, sending two is a huge profit, and sending three will directly secure victory...

Anyway, with Little Fatty's defensive capabilities, even if he were to be surrounded and attacked, he would be more than capable of protecting himself.

He glanced around at the quiet students and asked with a smile, "You've all seen the results. So, who else wants to try?"

"..."

"This is a rare opportunity!"

Just as someone was about to say something, a heavy thud came from behind as the pig struggled again and then collapsed. Everyone swallowed hard.

"Forget it...forget it..."

"I suddenly feel that being down-to-earth is really good..."

"This good fortune... let's leave it to the senior students..."
