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

"Hmm... that person from the [Qi Min] realm from the forbidden area just now is definitely out of the question. This red-haired woman is no good either; she looks like a trained martial artist. And this one, no good, no good!"

"It's up to you!"

Instructor Han mentally analyzed the appearances of the many new recruits one by one, using their appearance and posture to determine whether they posed a threat.

Instructor Han pointed to Cao Yuan, who was standing at attention with a standard crew cut. In his opinion, this young man was somewhat strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He was definitely trying his best to pretend that he was very strong, but in reality, he was probably the opposite. His combat experience and ability were definitely not strong!

Cao Yuan, who was called over, was clearly taken aback for a moment, but after hesitating for a moment, he still came forward.

But this behavior was exactly what Instructor Han interpreted as a sign that he was feeling guilty!

This time, Instructor Han was more confident than ever before. Without asking any questions, he picked up a wooden sword and threw it at Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan frowned slightly, hesitated for a long time before finally reaching out his hand, but because he was too slow, the wooden knife fell to the ground.

Instructor Han narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a somewhat unfriendly tone, but only he knew what he was really thinking.

"What do you mean by that? You should know that on the battlefield, a sword is a Night's Watchman's life. How can you be a Night's Watchman if you can't even hold your own life in your own hands?!"

Cao Yuan's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, and his tone remained calm: "I cannot touch the knife."

"Oh? Is it because you don't know how, or because you're afraid?" Instructor Han's heart finally settled down. Another recruit who didn't even dare to hold a knife, how could he possibly beat him? With the power of the Forbidden Ruins?

"Because it's impossible."

"???" Instructor Han was a little confused. What the hell? Could it be that you can turn into a ruthless killer the moment you touch a knife?

"I order you to pick up the knife on the ground and fight me!" Instructor Han's tone was somewhat gentle. Perhaps because of Ling Yue and Baili Pangpang in front of him, he found Cao Yuan very pleasing to the eye.

Cao Yuan was helpless at this, but after thinking about it, he couldn't lose face in front of the two noblemen, so he gritted his teeth and picked up the wooden knife from the ground.

Apart from Ling Yue, even Lin Qiye and Baili Pangpang, the new recruits below the training platform, all retreated ten meters, fearing that they would be slaughtered by the Black King.

Meanwhile, Instructor Hong and his team, who were playing cards in the lounge, also sensed the danger.

"What happened? Something's wrong?!"

"I don't know, go check it out!"

The moment Cao Yuan touched the hilt of the knife, Instructor Han sensed something was wrong. He tried to stop him, but it was too late!

Cao Yuan gripped the hilt of his sword with one hand, slowly rose, his face gradually contorting into a ferocious grin as he let out a 'hehehe' laugh.

Cao Yuan's body quickly burst into flames of malevolent energy, burning away his recruit uniform. Black malevolent energy enveloped Cao Yuan's entire body, making him appear like a mysterious humanoid figure.

Possessed by the Black King, Cao Yuan slung the wooden sword over his shoulder and slowly walked toward Instructor Han.

"You guys get out of here!!" Instructor Han sensed the Black King's aura and quickly turned to shout at the audience below. However, he only saw Ling Yue below the stage, while the others were already ten meters away from them.

Instructor Han: ??? The city is full of tricks, I want to go back to the countryside!!!

Faced with Cao Yuan's wooden sword burning with murderous intent, Instructor Han suddenly remembered the time when Ling Yue burned it down to just the hilt. He then threw the wooden sword at Cao Yuan, attempting to buy some time.

However, when faced with the knife thrown by Instructor Han, Cao Yuan actually used a wooden sword to cut it into three pieces!

He grinned maliciously again and slashed at Instructor Han.

At that moment, Instructor Han suddenly gave up resisting. He felt that going to Beijing was better. At least in Beijing, there were no ability users who could turn wooden swords into metal and extend them into ten-meter-long cleavers, no chubby little guy covered in forbidden items, and no crew-cut guy who would transform into a different person the moment he touched a sword...

"Once this is over, I'll resign and go back to Beijing!"

For a moment, Instructor Han's mind was racing with a myriad of thoughts, his thoughts never having been so active.

clang--

An iron knife appeared in front of Instructor Han; it was Ling Yue!

Ling Yue, before transforming, appeared in front of Instructor Han and blocked the attack for him.

Black King Cao Yuan grinned maliciously, then swung his wooden sword swiftly, each strike possessing the strength of a Zhan Realm expert.

Even Ling Yue, who was in the pool realm, was struggling against Cao Yuan's chaotic yet powerful attacks.

He then decided to stop pretending!

"Five Elements Power, Transform!"

Ling Yue stepped back two meters, placed his left hand in front of him, and was then enveloped in golden light.

"Roar!!" In less than a second, Ling Yue completed his transformation, and the Iron Fist Tiger roared at Cao Yuan.

For a moment, Cao Yuan, who was possessed by the Black King, had a moment of clarity in his eyes, but they were quickly filled with killing intent again.

Clang—another sound of metal clashing.

With a single punch, Iron Fist Tiger broke the wooden sword burning with malevolent energy in Cao Yuan's hand.

"Freeze!" Iron Fist Tiger tightly restrained Cao Yuan's hands with one hand, while his other hand emitted an icy blue light.

Finally, Iron Fist Tiger pointed his blue-glowing hand lightly, and the blue light instantly froze Cao Yuan into an ice block in the direction of his finger, while the black evil aura also vanished without a trace.

"Holy crap, Brother Yue is awesome!" Baili Pangpang, who was watching the show from a distance, really didn't expect that Ling Yue would use ice attribute energy under the metal attribute. In fact, this move was also something that Ling Yue came up with on the spot.

Since he could use the power of the five elements even when he wasn't transformed, why couldn't he use it after transforming? Thinking of this, Ling Yue used the Freeze ability in Iron Fist Tiger form, and to his surprise, it actually succeeded!

"I thought Cao Yuan was going to get beaten up..." Lin Qiye was speechless. He originally thought Ling Yue would knock Cao Yuan unconscious like last time, but he didn't expect it to be such a gentle way.

Well, after seeing that Cao Yuan wasn't in such a terrible state, he decided to retract the three seconds of silence he had spent mourning for Cao Yuan.

"Instructor Han, what happened?" Instructor Hong arrived late at this time. He was surprised to see Ling Yue still in Iron Fist Tiger form, while Cao Yuan, who had turned into an ice block, was ignored.

Instructor Hong checked again to confirm that his Forbidden Realm was sealed, but why could Ling Yue still use it?

In fact, this is a difference in thinking between dimensions, or what is called habitual thinking.

Instructor Hong and the others all believed that Ling Yue's Five Element Locks belonged to the Forbidden Ruins. After all, everyone in this world had awakened the Forbidden Ruins or the Divine Ruins of Gods. Even if someone was strong, they would belong to the King Ruins or the Divine Ruins.

They couldn't have imagined in a short time that Ling Yue's Five Elements Lock didn't belong to any category at all. At most, the power aspect had been slightly modified by the system, with all the power directed in a way that was good for Ling Yue.

Just like how Piggy Hero's Five Elements Lock transformation has a time limit, while his transformation does not, and how Piggy Hero cannot master the power of the Five Elements without transforming, while he can easily master it.

"Ling Yue, how can you still use the Forbidden Ruins?" Instructor Hong asked after confirming that the problem was with Ling Yue by circulating the Forbidden Ruins within his body multiple times.

Ling Yue scratched his head; this kind of question was indeed a bit of a brain drain for him. But in order to conceal this trump card, he chose to go along with the thoughts of these natives.

"Oh, so that's why my Five Elements Lock was suppressed!"
