Chapter 24 - Training

___________________________

While John was enjoying the day, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang on the other hand, were having a serious conversation.

"Tang San, why did Xiao Wu leave?" Yu Xiaogang curiously asked. He also felt sad after knowing that she leave.

"Teacher, Xiao Wu is a soul beast." Tang San just clenched his fist while still remembering what happened that day.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San. He then decided to just asked Flender later.

"Then, what about that John?" Yu Xiaogang asked. He was still thinking how John can have such demeanor.

Tang San's face then became ugly as he heard his name. But he still replied "He's strong."

Yu Xiaogang finally knew that there must be a problem. He sighed and ordered "Okay, you can withdraw now. Take a rest and prepare for tomorrow."

"Yes, teacher" Tang San replied before leaving.

After Tang San left, Yu Xiaogang then think "There must be some problem with that John."

He then moved towards Flender's office.

.................

After arriving, Yu Xiaogang saw Zhao Wuji and Flender talking.

"Xiaogang, I thought you're making a training plan, why are you here then?" asked Flender after seeing Yu Xiao gang.

"I am curious about that student John." Yu Xiaogang answered before taking a seat.

Upon hearing his words, Flender and Zhao Wuji paused for a bit.

Yu Xiaogang saw their reactions upon hearing the name John. He was now thinking that there must something with that student John.

"Is there any problem with that kid?" Yu Xiaogang curiously asked.

Flender who heard him, answered "Well, it's not actually a problem but John was really peculiar."

"It's better for Zhao Wuji to explain." Flender passed the explanation to Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji then tell Yu Xiaogang all the things that happen. From the beggining until they head to Star Dou Forest.

After explaining for a while, Yu Xiaogang's face can only show amazement and fear at the same time.

"Is there really such a clan?" Yu Xiaogang curiously asked.

"We also don't know as John never talked about his clan." Flender shooked his head.

Yu Xiaogang then now feel that John's future was very bright. With his skills and attitude, he was bound to become a powerful existence in the future. He thinks that Tang San could only looked up to John someday.

"What do you think? Can you handle him?" Flender asked while looking at Yu Xiaogang.

"There's no need to worry." Yu Xiaogang confidently answered. He was not just thinking how to handle John. He was also planning to make John his disciple.

"I better go back and prepare for tomorrow" Yu Xiaogang stood up and then leave.

After Yu Xiaogang left, Zhao Wuji then asked "Boss, is it really okay for grandmaster to teach them?"

"Well, Yu Xiaogang is very intelligent. I know he can handle them and might discover some of the secrets of John." Flender answered.

Zhao Wuji did not respond and just looked at Flender.

"Well, you withdraw as I had also other things to do." Flender ordered. Zhao Wuji then left.

'I hope you good luck' Flender thought while thinking of Yu Xiaogang.

..................

---Early the next morning---

John and Zhu Zhuqing was now on their way to the academy.

After they arrived at the field, they saw Yu Xiaogang and the others.

When Yu Xiaogang saw them. He then said angrily, "John, Zhuqing why were you not in the breakfast."

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, John then replied without showing fear "Grandmaster, you might already know that I am not staying in the dorm and maybe Zhuqing will be too. And also the food we ate was more healthy than what we can eat here"

Yu Xiaogang frowned after hearing John's reply. He already knew that John was living in the hotel but he still hope that he will go to the academy and eat breakfast together.

While Yu Xiaogang was thinking, Tang San and the others were shocked when John said that Zhu Zhuqing will live with him from now on.

They all had different expressions, but most shocked of them all was Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong.

Dai Mubai intently looked at Zhuqing and then John. He was now angry but he still keep it to himself. He knows that John was powerful and can kill him anytime. He could only endure it and let them be for now.

Ning Rongrong on the other hand was thinking when does Zhu Zhuqing hooked up with John. She can't believe that the cold Zhu Zhuqing actually fell in love with John.

After replying, John and Zhu Zhuqing found a place to sit on the ground.

Yu Xiaogang then adjusted his look and accepted John's arrangement. His gaze then swept the other student.

"I have already understood each of your spirits and capabilities. Starting from today, I will start your strengthening training. John, step forward." Yu Xiaogang said.

John then stood up and moved forward. He already had a hunch of what will happen.

Grandmaster then looked at John, saying "I will give you one task. Starting from now, you have to fight all of them together."

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, John was shocked a bit as it was different from the original. He then smiled and looked at Tang San's group.

Tang San and the others were startled by Yu Xiaogang's words but some were also excited like Tang San and Dai Mubai as this was also an opportunity to beat a shit out of John.

"Now, stood up and take you positions. I want to see how you battle." Yu Xiaogang said. But he was actually also excited to see John's power in person.

They then followed Grandmaster's ordered.

After a while, two side now can be seen on the field. John was on left while the others occupied the other.

"John Hendrix, spirit: Karyu, thirty-fourth ranked battle spirit elder." John replied and then three white spirit rings floating above his body.

Yu Xiaogang and the other were shocked upon seeing John's spirit rings. They all thought when does John became a spirit elder.

Tang San and the others' expression changed after seeing John's spirit ring. Zhu Zhuqing on the hand was not surprised as she already knew some secrets of John. They then released their spirits afterwards.

Tang San was the first to initiate an attack "1st Spirit Ring Ability: Bind"

Countless blue silver grass then moved towards John to bind him. Unfortunately, John's speed was extraordinary together with the skills he had.

John then immediately dashed directly at Ning Rongrong.

Upon seeing John, Tang San then shouted "Protect Rongrong".

Dai Mubai then dashed towards Ning Rongrong and used a spirit ability "1st Spirit Ring Ability: White Tiger Shield Body Barrier"

Tang San also supported and use his newly acquired spirit ability "3rd Spirit Ring Ability: Spider Web Restraint"

A web about 6-7 meters in diameter was shot to ensnare John. John then thought that Tang San might also kill a Man Faced Demon Spider but it wasn't the sprit beast where he gained a spirit bone.

Upon seeing their preparation, John then used "Spirit Ability: Swift Flight Mushroom Sausage"

John directly ate it and fly.

"W-What!!?" They were all shocked especially Oscar. They then confirmed that John could copy and use their spirit ability.

While John was on the air. He then motioned his hand to write something

***Nadare***

A dragon came out and roared becoming a lot of fireballs. John then attacked.

Upon seeing John's attacked they all thought to defend and attacked at the same time.

Ning Rongrong then used "Seven treasure words, first spoken: Strength."

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun then lined up and used "1st Spirit Ring Ability: Phoenix Fire Wire.", "2nd Spirit Ring Ability: White Tiger Intense Light Wave."

Their attacks collided with John. The aftershocks could be heard throughout the Academy which causes Flender and Zhao Wuji to immediately head to the source of the shocks.

When they arrived they saw John fighting with the other student while Yu Xiaogang was looking at them.

Flender then moved closer and asked "What are they doing?"

Yu Xiaogang looked back and saw Flender and Zhao Wuji. He then replied "I want to see how they fight and also know their limitations."

They then observed the fight again.

"You cannot win, its better to surrender." John went down and said while looking at Tang San's group.

Tang San and the others were unwilling to surrender. Especially when Tang San and Oscar were now also a spirit elder.

"I, your father, have a big sausage" Oscar chanted. Six sausages then came out. Tang San and Co. then ate it eat to recover.

John just looked at them and let them eat.

After a while, Dai Mubai then used "3rd Spirit Ring Ability: White Tiger Vajra Transformation"

Zhu Zhuqing also moved forward, she also wanted to used the skills John gave her.

Ning Rongrong then immediately used "Seven treasure words, second spoken: Speed."

After feeling that their speed increased, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing dashed forward to fight John in close combat. Zhu Zhuqing attacks causes the others to be shocked after seeing her. The others then thought of how could she become strong in such a short time.

John smirked and then write something.

***Homura***

A new dragon came out. They paused after seeing the new dragon. They all thought what would be the 3rd spirit ring ability of John.

Yu Xaiogang and the others were also looking seriously.

The dragon roared and then became a whip. It then wrapped around John's arms and legs. It was also another thing that different from Recca.

Tang San and the other didn't know why does the whip wrapped around John.

John looked at them while smiling.

Tang San and the others then continue to dash forwards as they had the advantage in numbers.

Zhu Zhuqing then used "2nd Spirit Ring Ability: Hell Hundred Claws"

Tang San also supported by using his 1st and 2nd spirit ring abilities to immobilize John.

John found it slightly difficult to blocked Zhu Zhuqing's and Dai Mubai's attack and the constant binding of Tang San while holding back.

After a little while, Dai Mubai found an opportunity and lunched a very powerful punch on John's chest.

John saw it and blocked it using both his arms. After being hit, John moved backwards.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing were already exhausted after all those attacks. They then looked at John whose face was still okay. They then figured out that John's 3rd spirit ring ability allows him to increase his strength especially in close combat.

"Is that all?" John said while looking at them.

Dai Mubai then shouted "Fatty, use all your spirit power and attack."

Ma Hongjun who was just two meters behind John then use "2nd Spirit Ring Ability: Bathing Fire Phoenix", "1st Spirit Ring Ability: Phoenix Fire Wire"

Ma Hongjun unleashed almost all of his spirit power through this attack.

Tang San and the other smiled after they saw Ma Hongjun's attack. They all think that John wouldn't be able to dodge the attack.

Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Zhao Wuji also thought the same.

John looked back and smile. He then used "Spirit Ability: Spirit Avatar Vigorous Vajra Bear"

John then transformed into a bear but unlike Zhao Wuji whose height surpassing five meters, John was just three meters tall.

Upon seeing his transformation, all of them were dumbfounded. They did not think that John could also used Zhao Wuji and most especially it was Zhao Wuji's 7th Spirit Ring Ability.

Yu Xiaogang and Flender were surprised seeing it. Zhao Wuji on the other hand cannot describe how he feels after seeing his 7th spirit ring ability was used by others.

Ma Hongjun's attacked hit John but it did not even leave any scratch at all. Ma Hongjun then sat down on the ground after his spirit power was almost exhausted.

Tang San and the others then all thought that it was impossible to win. They could only surrendered unwillingly.

John then canceled his transformation. He looked at Ma Hongjun and the others. He then used "Spirit Ability: Big Recovery Sausage"

Six sausages then came out and John gave it to them.

They looked at it for a while and decided to eat it. They were surprised that it has the same effect like Oscar's but the most important thing is that it was not stinky.

After a while, claps could be heard.

Clap.Clap.Clap

They all looked and saw Grandmaster clapping. They also saw Dean Flender and teacher Zhao Wuji.

Yu Xiaogang was very astonished by John's power and can saw unlimited potential on him. It greatly convinced him that he must make John his disciple.

"Good Job everyone, I know you all did your best. But there was still some place for improvement." Yu Xiaogang commented.

"John, I never thought that you were very powerful. But you did a very bad move earlier and that is, why did you just let them eat Oscar's sausage. Why did you do that?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

"I want to give them some hope." John amusingly replied. 0

"Y-You!!" Yu Xiaogang cannot believe the reason behind John's action. He was angry and then sighed.

"Don't do it next time." Yu Xiaogang sighed and reprimanded.

Yu Xiaogang was about to say something when suddenly Zhao Wuji walked towards John and stared at him.

"I want to question you and I hope to get your reply. How can you use my spirit abilities?" Zhao Wuji asked while looking at John.

John looked at Zhao Wuji and can feel that he was angry inside. He then smilingly replied "It's a secret."

"Y-You!!!" Zhao Wuji was furious by John's reply. He was about to punch John when suddenly he heard Flender.

"Zhao Wuji" Flender calmly said. Even though he also wanted to know. He doesn't want to force John to say it. He still think about John's clan. Just by looking at John's abilities, he was afraid to think that maybe all of their clansmen were the same. Forcing John might caused a disaster.

Zhao Wuji then stopped. He angrily looked at John for the last before leaving. He cannot get through the feeling when someone used his hardwork ability just like that.

"I'm sorry about Zhao Wuji's behavior. I will talk to him later and maybe imposed some punishment." Flender said before leaving.

Yu Xiaogang also knew what was running on Flenders mind. He then looked at them and said.

"Your first class now ended. Come back here again tomorrow. Withdraw."

Flender then leave.

Ma Hongjun then looked at John and said "John, you're really powerful."

Tang San and Dai Mubai also looked at John. They also admitted that he was strong but they still not forget their hatred towards him.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar on the other hand also looked at John while admiring his strength.

Ning Rongrong was about to apologize to appease their misunderstandings when suddenly John interrupted.

"Zhuqing, let's head back." John said while looking at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Mmm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

They then left together.

Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Ning Rongrong then left, leaving Dai Mubai behind.

"I need to become strong" Dai Mubai murmured while looking at their backs. He then left with a determination to become strong and beat John.
