Godslayer: At the start, the power of the Five Elements transforms into Iron Fist Tiger.

Seeing how well-behaved Ling Yue was, Instructor Han decided to give him some face and not let him lose face in front of the new recruits.

call--

A whooshing sound rang out, and Instructor Han, holding a knife in his right hand, slashed at Ling Yue's right hand, which was also holding a knife, in a tricky manner.

Ling Yue's eyes lit up at this, and he had already figured out how to make Instructor Han lose face!

clang--

A dull sound of metal striking metal rang out, originating from the point where Instructor Han and Ling Yue's two knives met.

"What?!" Instructor Han was shocked, because he saw that the knife he had given Ling Yue was emitting a golden light!

However, before Instructor Han could react, Ling Yue swung his wooden sword, imbued with the power of the Golden Spirit, at Instructor Han's long sword.

Without any surprise or sound, there was a thud as Instructor Han, holding the knife hilt, dropped the blade to the ground.

Instructor Han: ......

All new recruits: ......

"Wait, what's going on?!" Instructor Han's eyes widened. Wasn't the Forbidden Ruins sealed off? How can this kid still use them?!

Ling Yue's feignedly cold voice rang out: "It's just a small trick."

Instructor Han gritted his teeth: "No more using this ability. This doesn't count. Let's continue!"

Instructor Han then walked toward the weapons rack, and to prevent any accidents, he picked up an iron knife.

"Come again!"

Instructor Han swung his iron sword at Ling Yue's wooden sword, whose golden light had already dissipated.

Whoosh—but the next moment, Ling Yue's wooden sword suddenly burst into flames, the flames emanating from his palm and enveloping the sword.

What remained was instantaneous melting. Before Instructor Han's iron sword even made contact with Ling Yue's flaming wooden sword, it was melted by the fire elemental power of the wooden sword and turned into molten iron.

Instructor Han's hands and face were flushed, whether from the heat or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

"Come again!"

Instructor Han was not satisfied and took out an iron knife again, slashing at Ling Yue.

However, Ling Yue was prepared. Before Instructor Han could even take out his sword, he had already reached the edge of the training platform. The wooden sword in his hand emitted a green light and then gradually extended from a length of one meter to ten meters!

Instructor Han looked at the one-meter-long iron sword in his hand, then glanced at Ling Yue's ten-meter-long broadsword ten meters away...

"How about it, Instructor Han? Do you want me to give you an extra nine meters to run?"

Han Li: ...You have to play with a smile during the game, or I'll beat you to a pulp!

Instructor Han was on the verge of tears. His voice grew low and somber: "You can leave now. I want to be alone."

"Huh? Instructor Han, aren't you going to run nine meters?" Ling Yue, holding a ten-meter-long broadsword, patted Instructor Han's shoulder with the back of the sword after Instructor Han didn't respond for a while, indicating that he shouldn't mind. Then he put the wooden sword back to its original state and walked off the stage.

"Brother Yue is amazing!" Baili Pangpang was also shocked, never expecting that Ling Yue would not only kill but also destroy his spirit.

Cao Yuan, standing to the side, was not to be outdone, but his tone was relatively calm: "Brother Yue is indeed very capable."

Lin Qiye smiled in a rather unkind way. Although he felt sorry for the new instructor Han, he couldn't help but find it really funny!

It took Instructor Han quite a while to come to his senses.

"Hey you, the chubby kid who just said he was rich, come up here. Yes, you. Come up here and demonstrate for me." Instructor Han was very anxious at this moment. He desperately needed an opportunity to establish his authority in front of the new recruits, and this cute-looking chubby kid was a suitable choice.

"Oh, oh." Baili Pangpang lowered his hand that was pointing at himself and slowly walked onto the martial arts stage.

"Do you know how to use a knife?" To prevent any mishaps, Instructor Han felt more cautious than ever before.

"Reporting to the instructor, I have never learned to use a sword." Baili Pangpang answered honestly. He usually used a sword-wielding blade to strike weak points, so it was at most self-taught.

"Hmm, what's your Forbidden Ruins? Does it make things metallic, or breathe fire, or make things grow longer, like that???" Instructor Han was like someone who'd been bitten by a snake once and was now afraid of ropes for ten years. Asking so many questions made the already not-so-bright Baili Pangpang even less bright.

"Instructor, I don't have any forbidden artifacts, but—" I have many highly dangerous forbidden items. Before Baili Pangpang could finish his sentence, Instructor Han excitedly interrupted him.

"Alright! Here's a knife, let's practice!" Instructor Han was completely relieved to hear there was no forbidden energy. Without the forbidden energy, the rest of the questions were just nonsense! He couldn't wait to use this chubby kid to establish his authority!

Baili Pangpang hurriedly accepted the wooden knife handed to him by Instructor Han, but before he could react, the wooden knife appeared in front of him.

"Watch closely, students, this move is never too much of a gambler's errand—" Instructor Han said as he thrust the wooden sword in his hand toward Baili Pangpang's neck.

However, as expected, the unexpected still happened.

Suddenly, the necklace on Baili Pangpang's chest emitted a dazzling golden light, and a golden light shield protected Baili Pangpang's entire body.

Snap————

Baili Pangpang looked down in bewilderment, only to see a section of the blade, missing its hilt, lying on the ground, making a clattering sound. Looking up again, Baili Pangpang saw Instructor Han, his face dark, holding a knife hilt...

"Instructor Han, I can explain!!" Baili Pangpang tried to bend down to pick up the fallen blade and put it back on Instructor Han, but was blasted away by the enraged Instructor Han.

"Alright, you can go now!" Instructor Han said, throwing the hilt of his knife at Baili Pangpang's feet in a fit of pique.

Whoosh! — Another burst of flame erupted from Baili Pangpang's wrist, burning straight towards the hilt of the knife that Instructor Han had thrown at him.

The hilt was instantly burned to ashes by the flames, and then blown away by a sudden gust of wind...

Baili Pangpang really couldn't explain himself at this point, and could only offer an awkward, slightly shy smile. (●'?'●)

Instructor Han: ╰(艹皿艹 )

"It's okay, one is better than two, not three. Han Li, you can definitely do it!!" Instructor Han gritted his teeth in anger, wanting to teach this chubby boy a lesson, but he was also afraid that the boy might have something else on him.

"Next!" Instructor Han waved for Baili Pangpang to step down, and then began the third round of selecting people.
