Chapter 491 - 223: Eight, Eight-legged Cattle Horse?! _1
After Ying Xiu left, Ye Hanjun closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes within himself.
The elevation from the 3rd to the 4th order often corresponds with a surge in job authority experience points.
First, there was Bai Qin, then Lin Pingfan.
Plus the contributions from other disciples over the recent period.
Ye Hanjun felt a sense of fullness, his "Instructor" job authority had reached its peak. Under normal circumstances, he should be able to break through all at once.
"Something’s wrong... very wrong..."
After expending three days and nights and countless attempts,
Ye Hanjun, massaging his brow, was forced to awaken from his meditative state.
"What’s going on?"
Goose Immortal rushed in from outside the cave, fluttering its flippers, his face full of impatience.
It has been stuck at the "Jade Infant’s Perfection" for too long.
Although Bro Sand Sculpture could easily suppress it, as they were of the same level, it somewhat disgraced the dignity of the elder brother.
"With 100% experience points, I still can’t breakthrough..."
Ye Hanjun paid no attention to Goose Immortal’s impatience. He furrowed his brows, lost in deep thought:
"When it comes to the 1st and 2nd order, advancement is as natural as water flowing along a river. There has never been such a situation before."
"The most probable reasons are two-fold. Firstly, the "Instructor" position might not be capable of vertical job transfer and might require a detour."
"When I tried to breakthrough head-on, I encountered a barrier as tough as iron. Even if I were to bang my head against it, it would be impossible to overcome."
"But it’s irrational. The Lord’s job authority is so special. How can it lack even the first job transfer direction?"
Huazhu had been staying in the cave, eating the meat of the storm wolf to refine the wind element within, while playing with Guagua.
As Ye Hanjun awakened, she immediately shifted her attention, listening attentively to the Lord’s thoughts.
"Guagu~~~"
Little Guagua was riding the Sixth Grade Golden Lotus, revolving around the big tadpole, cheering it on.
Ye Hanjun patted its little head, hinting that it needn’t worry, then continued to explain:
"I also believe that the Instructor’s advancement path should not be interrupted so simply."
"Therefore, I am inclined towards the second possibility. Maybe because of the dual job authority, small order advancements may not be essential."
"But for the 4th and 7th order, which will inevitably trigger job transfer, I may need to completely fill the experience points for both of my job authorities, then challenge them at the same time..."
Goose Immortal sighed a breath of relief, hurriedly inquiring:
"Then how many are left for your other job authority? Helping you beat Mo every day, it should be almost there, right?"
"About 85% to 90%. In two or three months, I will definitely max it out."
Ye Hanjun was extremely confident in his estimate, firmly believing that he would not be mistaken.
His biggest concern was that the ancient records repeatedly mentioned that advancing dual job authorities is fraught with difficulties.
If the "Instructor" and "Demon Servant" are both fully leveled up and still cannot advance, what then?
With this in mind, Ye Hanjun’s expression became even more solemn.
He had not had a direct feeling of this before, but now he faintly felt something was amiss.
But for now, he had no better solution. What he could do was periodically activate the demon altar, feed Mo daily, leave it upright and let it return horizontally.
...
Ye Hanjun officially closed himself off to meditate.
His attention was no longer on trivial matters, such as the war between the Blue Frog Kingdom and the Grass Frog Country, the Blue Frog Kingdom’s crown prince, and the second prince who feared that he would join the other two kingdoms. They were trying to locate him to negotiate...
Ye Hanjun didn’t care about any of these.
The location of the Ghost Lotus Waterfall was hidden enough that, unless someone inside disclosed it, it would be hard to find.
He lived a very regular life, getting up at six in the morning, cooking a nutritious meal, taking Huazhu and Goose Immortal into the Gate of Life and Death to participate in the Death Challenge.
After coming out, he would beat down Mo and let it enjoy the full measure of pain, happily returning to its Contract Space.
At noon, and in the afternoon, Ye Hanjun would go to a hill fifty miles away.
The Mercenary Group that Steals Fire was stationed there, temporarily acting as their base.
During this time, Goose Immortal would train Sand Sculpture, while also training the Fond Spirits such as the Pink Winged Dragon, Faceless Demon Moth, Wood Bird, Swift Light Bat, and Frightening Wolf King Bird, using them as a mold for effective training.
Of course, not everyone was seen every day.
The Mercenary Group that Steals Fire, under the command of Dongfang Xu, was gradually getting on track.
They would regularly take on some high-difficulty mercenary tasks, then group up to hunt Jade Infant fetus, witnessing the results of their daily training in the actual combat.
Su Mei, Li Jingming, Wang Xinfei, the last three disciples who advanced to the 3rd order, were steadily growing.
Renwo Kuang was relatively independent. When there was no large-scale hunting mission, he went out on his own.
Renwo Lang, under his nurturing, used the time of a month to successfully advance to Jade Infant’s Great Completion, catching up with Dongfang Xu’s progress.
As for Dong Feng, Gu Miaoyu, Tan Ziping, Yan Xuehui, Huo Xin, Yu Yu, Linghu Fei, Ma Nongmei, Zhuang Wenyao... These Ten Talents and Three Majestic who joined the Mercenary Group that Steals Fire all had satisfying results too.
Yu Yu, who had advanced to the 3rd order long ago, her Contracted Spirit "Elegant Pig" finally ascended, successfully evolving into a "Beautiful Pig".
Ma Nongmei, Zhuang Wenyao... Anyone stuck at the peak of the 2nd order without a breakthrough for a long time, all managed to break through within a month and a half.
Those who did not have a scheduled ascending evolution plan had one tailor-made by Ye Hanjun. As for the materials, it was left to them to collect. He would not accompany them the whole way, taking care of them like a nanny.
