I was so scared that I put all my points into health.

Chapter 62 "Special Education" and "Painful Yet Pleasant" in the Arena

At this moment, Alpha and Allen were clearly in dire straits. The prolonged battle had left them exhausted, their speed and strength far diminished, like candles flickering in the wind, teetering precariously under the elemental spirits' relentless onslaught. They had barely been knocked down and hadn't fully recovered before being swept into the next wave of attacks. Guild Master Winnie had anticipated this and had specifically arranged for a high-ranking priest to stand by. Thus, Alpha and Allen were repeatedly resurrected and healed, only to be beaten black and blue again.

Wang Xiaoyi, on the other hand, remained firmly standing there. Facing the elemental spirits' attacks, his calm expression didn't change at all, as if all the attacks were nothing more than trivial matters. Not only that, he also took this opportunity to frantically increase his skill proficiency.

At first, he was cautious, focusing only on using support skills. However, as the battle progressed, he realized that using offensive skills was also suitable in this situation. So, he didn't hesitate to cast Holy Light as well. Not only that, he also made full use of his elven envoy advantages, quickly learning several elemental spells.

He unleashed the wind elemental magic Wind Blade Strike, where sharp wind blades coalesced in his hand and shot towards the nearby elemental spirits like arrows. He also cast the water elemental magic Ice Shard Pierce, where several sharp ice shards rapidly condensed around him before piercing towards the enemy. Finally, he unleashed the fire elemental magic Flame Burst Arrow, where arrows formed from condensed flames hurtled towards the enemy. Although the damage dealt by these skills was currently only in the single digits, it didn't matter to him; as long as the skills were used, his proficiency would increase.

As he cast his spell, the small orb of light beside him spun merrily. This orb possessed a unique ability: it could enhance Wang Xiaoyi's magical reserves. Whenever Wang Xiaoyi cast a spell, the orb, like a greedy little sprite, rapidly absorbed the free magical elements in the surrounding environment, then transformed these elements into a form of magical power that Wang Xiaoyi could use, as if collecting magical treasures scattered in the air for its master's use.

As time went by, Alpha and Allen began to calm down. They started to think about how to use the skills they had learned in their first and second job advancements to fight back.

Alpha Thief once again unleashed his second-tier skill, "Shadow Strike Assassination." His figure vanished instantly, rushing towards a lone fire elemental like a ghost. The moment he approached the elemental, a chilling glint flashed from his dagger, and before the elemental could react, it was struck in a vital spot by his powerful assassination attack.

Paladin Aaron also began to unleash his power. He raised his greatsword high with both hands, chanted an ancient incantation, and then released "Divine Judgment." A dazzling light ripped through the sky, and divine power crashed towards an earth elemental spirit like a surging wave. Unfortunately, these elemental spirits were level 50, a full 20 levels higher than them, so despite their efforts, they were unable to defeat them.

Meanwhile, on Wang Xiaoyi's side, although the elemental spirits' various elemental magic attacks dealt him negligible damage, his own automatic healing spells could replenish the health he received. However, the elemental spirits' physical damage was not to be underestimated. For example, the water elemental spirit had around 5000 health points and a physical attack of about 80-100; the fire elemental spirit had about 4500 health points but a physical attack of 150-180; the wind elemental spirit had around 3500 health points and a melee physical attack of 60-80, but it was fast and agile. Wang Xiaoyi would still take physical damage, but his damage reflection skill was almost 100% effective. Thus, in this continuous counterattack, the number of elemental spirits was slowly decreasing.

Sometimes, several elemental spirits would attack simultaneously, and Wang Xiaoyi's auto-healing and auto-healing spells couldn't keep up. At this point, the auto-holy light spell would activate again. The holy light projectiles would hit several elemental spirits, dealing only 1 damage, but triggering a stun effect. During this brief respite, even if Wang Xiaoyi was occasionally hit by elemental spirit attacks, his health would slowly recover thanks to the effects of the auto-healing and auto-healing spells. Alpha and Allen, as if receiving some kind of command, would attack the stunned elemental spirit whenever Wang Xiaoyi activated his auto-holy light spell. While they couldn't eliminate it, doing so increased their skill proficiency and also increased the damage they dealt to elemental spirits.

President Winnie stood on the sidelines, quietly watching Alpha, Allen, and Wang Xiaoyi's every move under the elemental spirits' attacks. At first, Alpha and Allen were like two headless flies, getting beaten up by the elemental spirits' attacks and frantically fleeing across the battlefield. Alpha's agile movements became chaotic, and Allen's defense was no longer as orderly as it had been at the beginning; their eyes were filled with panic and helplessness.

However, as time went on, the situation changed significantly. Alpha and Allen gradually recovered from their initial panic and became increasingly calm and collected. Alpha began to skillfully utilize his speed advantage, weaving through the gaps in the elemental spirits' attacks, looking for opportunities to counterattack. Allen also stopped passively defending as before; he began to use his skills more flexibly, methodically dealing with the various attacks from the elemental spirits.

Seeing this change, President Winnie's lips curled into a slight smile, her eyes filled with satisfaction and pride. The special training she had set up was truly effective. However, looking at Wang Xiaoyi, who was performing exceptionally well, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This Wang Xiaoyi is really a big surprise."

President Winnie had initially predicted that Wang Xiaoyi, like Alpha and Allen, would be badly injured by the elemental spirits' powerful attacks and run around the battlefield aimlessly. After all, his fighting style seemed rather peculiar, and he was indeed at a disadvantage in terms of offensive power. However, things unfolded completely differently than she expected. Wang Xiaoyi stood there like a steadfast mountain, calm and composed.

President Winnie stood below the stage, watching with great interest as Alpha and Allen gradually calmed down from their initial panic and disarray under the elemental spirits' attacks. Then she looked at Wang Xiaoyi, the biggest surprise of this special training. She had initially thought he would be like Alpha and Allen, battered and bruised by the elemental spirits' powerful attacks, fleeing the battlefield in a sorry state. But unexpectedly, he was the most composed of the three.

President Winnie's eyes darted around, thinking, "I can't let him be so carefree." So, in a flash, she leaped onto the arena herself. Her hands moved rapidly, chanting ancient incantations, instantly unleashing her elemental magic. In a flash, various elemental forces converged, hurtling towards Wang Xiaoyi, Alpha, and Allen.

The elemental magic seemed to come alive, raining down on them with a deafening roar. Alpha and Allen had never witnessed such a fierce attack from their guild master, and they were terrified, scattering in all directions. Alpha, like a frightened rabbit, dodged left and right, searching for a place to hide; Allen, equally panicked, could only frantically try to defend himself with his shield, staggering backward.

Looking at Wang Xiaoyi again, he remained standing there, unfazed, letting the magical attacks rain down on him. His various resistance bonuses were like child's play against these attacks; they were like tickles, unable to cause him any real harm.

Seeing Wang Xiaoyi's unmoved attitude, President Winnie was instantly enraged, an indescribable anger welling up inside her. With a glare, she grabbed a nearby leather whip and lashed it at Wang Xiaoyi. This beating put Wang Xiaoyi in a difficult position. He dodged the whip clashes in a flurry of howls, looking rather comical. But there was no resentment on his face, for he knew this was the president's test. Despite the excruciating pain, he gritted his teeth and endured it, secretly hoping that this "whipping" from the president would make him stronger.

The setting sun cast its last rays upon the arena floor, signaling the end of this brutal training session. President Winnie clapped her hands in satisfaction as she saw Wang Xiaoyi battered and bruised. Wang Xiaoyi was truly exasperated; why was he so arrogant? Had he not at least put on a show? Alpha and Allen would have been fine then.

After the afternoon training session ended, President Winnie invited Wang Xiaoyi and the others to have lunch together. So, the group left the arena and headed to a place filled with warmth and delicious food.
