Chapter 319 Returning to the Assessment

After calming Fang Youli down, Xu Ning summoned his three disciples to his side.

"You have all made tremendous progress in the past two months, and I am very satisfied."

Xu Ning first affirmed the progress of the three: "In the next four months, I hope that you can all break through to the Qi Refining Realm, and it would be best if you could try to reach the Origin Returning Realm."

Having only recently advanced to the Dao Realm, he set another goal: to break through two realms in four consecutive months.

To outsiders, this would surely seem like wishful thinking.

However, the three parties involved did not feel anything was wrong with what they were listening to.

Based on their specific circumstances, Xu Ning refined special pills. Coupled with his profound understanding of martial arts and his meticulous guidance, they all believed from the bottom of their hearts that they could do their best to meet Xu Ning's expectations.

"Yes, Master!"

The three responded with confidence.

Afterwards, the three returned to the Little Tree Realm.

"Xu Ning, we need to take Fang Youli's problem seriously..."

Zhang He's expression was somewhat serious.

"Know."

Xu Ning nodded: "These past two days, I've started working on developing a pill that can counteract its loss of rationality..."

Both Zhang He and Xu Ning were well aware that among the three, Fang Youli was the most likely to stand out.

Time flies.

Another four months have passed.

"The six-month period is up..."

Xu Ning stood on a mountaintop, surrounded by a blanket of white snow.

"It's time to return to the Danhai Demon Sect..."

Xu Ning summoned the three of them out of the small tree realm once again.

"Master."

Fang Youli, Bian Huang, and Ling Ju bowed respectfully.

The three of them had undergone a tremendous change in temperament compared to six months ago.

During these four months, under Xu Ning's dedicated guidance, all three of them reached the third level of the Dao Realm, the Origin Realm.

Among them, Fang Youli advanced the earliest, followed by Bian Huang, and Ling Ju was the slowest.

This promotion speed is even faster than Xu Ning's back then.

After all, Xu Ning at that time did not have enough resources; he obtained all his resources through his own exploration.

These three, on the other hand, have unlimited resources and receive personalized guidance.

Of course, it was only at the initial stage of the Dao Realm that Xu Ning was able to help them progress so quickly.

Once they reach the middle stage of the Dao Realm, their advancement speed will inevitably slow down. Even if Xu Ning continues to provide such care and guidance, their advancement speed will not be as fast as before.

"Six months have passed; it's time to return to the Danhai Demon Sect to await the assessment."

Xu Ning's gaze swept across the three people's faces.

After Xu Ning finished speaking, all three of them felt a tremor in their hearts.

After six months of arduous training, the time has come for my skills to truly shine.

All three were under immense pressure. Fang Youli was somewhat better off, as he was more easygoing, while Bian Huang and Ling Ju felt the heavy burden.

They all knew that their subsequent performance would have a direct impact on their master, Xu Ning.

It could even determine the future landscape of Wanshengzhou's top social circles.

This sense of oppression made them feel somewhat suffocated.

"Relax your mindset."

Xu Ning also noticed the state of the three of them.

He reassured them, "There's no need to feel pressured. I have no obsession with the position of Sect Master of the Danhai Demon Sect. You just need to do your best and be worthy of your efforts. Even if you don't get a good result in the end, I won't blame you."

These words deeply moved all three of them.

"Master, we will certainly do our utmost!"

He clasped his hands in a fist salute and said firmly.

"I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Ling Ju also shook her head.

Me too.

Beside him, Fang Youli stood tall and proud, his eyes gleaming with a sudden burst of brilliance.

Fang Youli's irrational outburst has now been brought under control.

Four months ago, Fang Youli fought with Bian Huang, resulting in Bian Huang's injury. Xu Ning then developed a pill to target Fang Youli's loss of rationality.

Before a battle, Fang Youli only needs to swallow one of them to maintain his rationality.

Although this method only addresses the symptoms and not the root cause, it is indeed the best solution at present.

Yo.

A chorus of cries.

Zhang He arrived riding a flying demonic beast at the mid-stage of the Dao Realm.

At this point, he had already put away the small tree realm.

"Let's go."

Xu Ning said, and then leaped onto the back of the flying monster.

Then, Fang Youli and the other two followed closely behind.

The flying monster transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the endless snow.

……

Several days later.

"I'm back!"

Xu Ning and his group of five finally returned to the island where the Danhai Demon Sect was located.

"The three of you, come with me to see Elder Wei."

Xu Ning instructed Fang Youli, Ling Ju, and Bian Huang to go find Elder Wei immediately.

"Elder Wei!"

Xu Ning greeted Elder Wei.

"Xu Ning?"

Elder Wei glanced at the three people behind Xu Ning, his expression showing some surprise.

Three Grandmasters of the Origin Realm.

Just six months ago, the three of them were only at the ninth level of the Void Realm and the eighth level of the Void Realm.

"It seems your skill in training disciples is also top-notch."

Elder Wei chuckled.

"Elder Wei is too kind."

Xu Ning smiled as well.

"There are ten days left until the final assessment. So far, no one else has returned except for you."

Elder Wei said.

"Has no one returned yet?"

Xu Ning raised an eyebrow: "It seems they're all making their final sprint."

"The competition between your disciples will be held at Island Heart Peak in ten days. Not only will the sect leader participate, but the grandmasters will also participate."

Elder Wei said.

In Wansheng Prefecture, the only one known as a Grandmaster is Duan Huiye of the Duan imperial family.

"Will Grandmasters participate too?"

Xu Ning was slightly surprised.

Duan Huiye had made a brief appearance when they were on an overseas mission, and Xu Ning had seen him once before.

Duan Huiye's imposing presence at that time greatly shocked and impressed Xu Ning.

Upon hearing this, Fang Youli, Bian Huang, and Ling Ju felt even more pressure.

A Grandmaster—that's the strongest person in Wansheng Prefecture, a legendary figure.

In a few days, they found themselves being watched by his gaze.

This made the three of them's hearts pound.

"Your disciples have a good foundation; they might achieve the best possible outcome."

Elder Wei said one more thing, then said no more. He recorded the information of the three people again.

Afterwards, Xu Ning led the three of them back to the courtyard at the foot of the mountain on the island, to wait for the assessment to begin in ten days.

In the following days, apart from Xu Ning, the other five seeds and their disciples also returned to the island.

According to Xu Ning's investigation, apart from Duan Chaomian's subordinates who trained a Grandmaster at the fourth level of the Dao Realm and the Core Formation Realm, the strongest of the others was only at the third level of the Dao Realm.

Xu Ning felt more confident about this.

Fang Youli is now at the peak of the Origin Realm, and has the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels.

If I seize the opportunity well and the rules are relatively favorable, I might be able to win in the final assessment.
