Hmm?Upon hearing this instructor named Xing Yun openly share his shortcoming, the team members exchanged glances, plunged into silence.
Unable to perform Guardian Beast Co-operation, then why could he be an instructor just like the others?
Lin Su's gaze flickered slightly.
For some reason, he felt a faint sense of familiarity emanating from this not particularly tall man.
Moreover, why was he unable to engage in Guardian Beast Co-operation? seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Being able to stand on this battlefield as an instructor for the co-operation training camp, Lin Su believed that the man before him definitely possessed the qualifications to learn the arts of beast coordination.
Could it be... his bond synchrony index was too low, resulting in an inability to maintain a stable co-operation state?
He couldn't help but speculate.
Seemingly catching the hint of skepticism in the team members' eyes, Xing Yun chuckled with a trace of pride in his eyes, "Although I can't engage in Guardian Beast Co-operation, but..."
He slowly extended a hand, pulling off a pendant around his neck that resembled a small stick.
The small stick swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a two-meter-long black staff. The staff's exquisite patterns shimmered with strange light. What was once an inconspicuous pendant now suddenly burst forth with a terrifyingly powerful momentum. This force almost materialized, causing the very air to freeze in that moment.
This kind of presence was unparalleled by any of the beasts summoned by the other instructors!
Not even the instructors themselves after coordinating with their guardian beasts!
In this instant, Xing Yun's not particularly large figure seemed to suddenly be imbued with boundless strength. Gripping the black staff with swirling patterns, he made a simple movement.

Chop!
That single motion caused Lin Su's pupils to violently constrict.
Seeing this strike reminded him of when he first saw Lin Father perform the stick technique "Chop."
Such a masterful staff technique was unexpectedly wielded by a mighty Blue Star Beast Tamer!
As Xing Yun's staff chopped down, it was as if a pillar from the heavens had collapsed, and boundless dark energy erupted violently. A soul-shaking thunderous boom spread, and the immense force seemed to split heaven and earth. Where Xing Yun pointed his staff, the already damaged training ground seemed to be crushed by tremendous force, the earth imbued with dark power sinking to form a bottomless pit.
Dust rose in all directions, and an unbounded Energy Storm swept in instantly. The swirling dust and raging storm threw the members who had just stabilized their stances into disarray again. Amidst the rampaging Energy Storm, they could not maintain their footing, eventually collapsing heavily to the ground, one by one.
"Huff!"
With a casual swing, Xing Yun unleashed a gust of wind that cleared the dust filling the air.
He looked at the other team members picking themselves up from the ground and then at Lin Su, the only one who had stood his ground, using the tip of his spear to pierce the earth, clenching the spear shaft with both hands, struggling to maintain his balance. A glint of admiration flickered in his solitary eye.
"The nine of them are no match for me."
It was not until this moment that Xing Yun spoke again, his voice still as calm and gentle as before, but coupled with the meteor crater-like pit, it seemed domineering and boundless.
Lin Su slowly straightened up, pulling his long spear out from the ground, his eyes unable to conceal his astonishment.
Is this...
A martial arts expert?!
He finally understood why this instructor named Xing Yun gave off a somewhat familiar feeling.
In the world of divine martial arts, he had been studying martial arts under Lin Father's tutelage recently, spending every day in the training ground with the passionate Lin Family disciples. The man before him had an aura very similar to that of a martial artist, and the abilities he displayed were starkly different from the Beast Tamers he knew, more in line with martial artists.
Could the power just demonstrated be the Yuan force of a martial artist?
The action so similar to that of a martial artist forced Lin Su to consider this possibility.
In the world of divine martial arts, martial artists are forged through adversity. Falling behind in the technology race meant that the earliest Beast Tamers failed to discover the secrets of evolution in time, which led to the sudden rise of divine martial arts.
So with the aid of technology, perhaps Blue Star could also discover an entirely new path to martial arts.
Could it be that the Alliance had actually discovered a martial arts path similar to that of the divine martial world?
But if that was the case, why hadn't it been widely promoted earlier?
If so, wouldn't Blue Star possibly become a second divine martial world?
At this moment, countless thoughts surged through Lin Su's mind, but above all was bewilderment.
The fact that someone from Blue Star utilized a technique theoretically exclusive to the divine martial world completely exceeded his understanding.
As the dust settled, the other nine instructors stepped forward once again, lining up alongside Xing Yun.
Regarding Xing Yun's recent claim that none of the nine was his match, they didn't have much objection.
In the military, it's the strength that talks. If you can't beat someone, you can't beat them. It's better to think about how to advance beyond your rivals than to be resentful.
"Alright, we are done with our introductions," Li Hong spoke with detachment, "Now, it's your turn to choose."
"In the military, everything is determined by strength. The strong have the priority, so your selection order will start with the strongest and continue in that order," Li Hong's gaze swept over the crowd, eventually fixing on Lin Su, "Due to time constraints, we won't be testing strength one by one. This time, we'll go by your rankings in the practical combat portion of the entrance examination."
