Li Shanzhu, you are a healing-type ability user. Your target is your teammate, your own brother, not an enemy. Don't make such a ferocious expression!
Control your spiritual energy, control your spiritual energy! Your spiritual energy is your teammate's HP, don't waste it!
Li Shanjun, you are a strength-type awakened one. To become stronger continuously, you must constantly tap into your body's potential. Don't stop. Put all your strength into every punch. Don't worry about your body collapsing; your body's recovery is much stronger than that of normal awakened ones. Push harder! Are you not eating?
Keep going! If you can't, take a spirit recovery liquid! Do you still want to become a regular member?
Training ground No. 5 is located in a spacious open-air forest, covering about ten mu.
In the training ground, a bare-chested youth with bulging muscles was sweating profusely, furiously striking a wooden stake as thick as two people embracing. Each punch carried astonishing force, and the ground beneath his feet was already covered in sweat.
Behind him, a girl with her hair tied in a bun, a youthful face, large breasts, and wearing denim shorts and a t-shirt, was pursing her lips. Her small hands were constantly waving, and as she waved, streams of green airflow continuously flowed into the bare-chested youth's body, rapidly healing the wounds on his fists caused by striking the stake.
The two people giving instructions were a man and a woman. The man was dressed in black from head to toe, with a spiky hairstyle and sunglasses, looking cool as he spoke sternly to the bare-chested youth.
The woman had long blue hair cascading down her back, wearing form-fitting jeans and a white shirt. The hem of the white shirt was tucked into her jeans, revealing a slender waist that could be held in one hand. Her voice was sweet but also carried a hint of sternness as she guided the girl in releasing healing spells.
*Clap clap clap!*
Just as they were training, a crisp sound of applause interrupted the heated training atmosphere.
They all turned to look and saw four people, led by Si Junfang, followed by an unfamiliar youth, Wang Ange, and Su Caiying, slowly approaching.
The training was interrupted, and upon seeing Si Junfang, they all greeted her with smiles.
The bare-chested youth, Li Shanjun, was a youth who loved to train. He looked a bit disappointed when his training was interrupted, while his sister, Li Shanzhu, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me introduce the new member. This newcomer's name is Yu Zhibo, nicknamed Little Fish," Si Junfang pushed Yu Zhibo forward and introduced him with a smile.
"Don't introduce such weird nicknames!" Yu Zhibo complained inwardly, but it wasn't appropriate to say anything in this situation, so he could only give a dry smile and nod to the four members of the third team in front of him.
Then, Si Junfang pointed to each of them one by one and said, "This guy with the spiky hair is Li Fang. His ability is sound waves. This young lady with blue hair is Wang Yan, a water-type awakened one. Both of them are D-class awakened ones. The remaining brother and sister, the brother is Li Shanjun, and the sister is Li Shanzhu. You'll be training with them in the training ground from now on."
After the introductions, Li Fang, the spiky-haired one, began to scrutinize Yu Zhibo. "So this is the newcomer rumored to be very powerful in the group. He became a regular member immediately upon joining. His talent is astonishingly strong, and he looks quite honest. His intelligence probably isn't high. I need to get along with him. If nothing else, with his abilities, if I can go on missions with him, I can earn quite a few merit points just by tagging along."
"Strange, why is everyone looking at me so strangely? I don't have any hostile intentions. Could it be because I'm too handsome? Indeed, keeping this spiky hairstyle was the right choice; it perfectly highlights my delicate facial contours. Huh? The team leader is walking over. What is she going to do?"
Si Junfang walked up to Li Fang with a dark expression, raised her right hand high, clenched her fist, and punched Li Fang hard on his spiky hair, gritting her teeth and saying, "You scoundrel, look if you want, but I've warned you how many times! Don't just blurt out your thoughts!"
Everyone present, except for Yu Zhibo, had a constipated look on their faces, clearly accustomed to Li Fang's strange habit.
Si Junfang shook her head helplessly, glanced at Li Fang who was covering his head and crouching down, and said to Yu Zhibo, "Although Li Fang occasionally acts up, his strength is still good. And this habit of his is related to his ability. Because he's a sound wave ability user, he sometimes unintentionally transmits his thoughts from his abdomen."
Yu Zhibo nodded with a dry laugh, "What strange teammates."
Li Fang had clearly seen that video in the group, so he was particularly enthusiastic towards Yu Zhibo. With a grinning smile, he lunged forward and slung an arm around Yu Zhibo's shoulder. "Brother, hello. Please guide me well in the future. Remember to call me next time we go on a mission. My sound wave ability is incredibly strong, and I can also sing battle songs to boost team morale."
"Alright!" Yu Zhibo replied politely, his expression a little forced.
"This Li Fang seems to have social omnipotence syndrome."
"Then you all train well. Little Fish, if you have any questions you don't understand, you can ask Li Fang or Wang Yan. Your task today is to first master the method of absorbing spiritual energy. One of these two will teach you this."
As Si Junfang spoke, she looked at the two girls again. "Ange, Caiying, you two also hurry up and complete your missions and reach D-class quickly." With that, she turned and left.
Wang Ange and Su Caiying gave him encouraging smiles and made a thumbs-up gesture before leaving one after another, leaving Yu Zhibo and the remaining four looking at each other.
Perhaps due to awakening her water-type ability, Wang Yan's temperament was somewhat similar to Lin Wanjun. After Si Junfang left, she smiled at Yu Zhibo and asked, "Little Fish, Li Fang and I will be responsible for guiding you next. Who do you want to train with?"
Yu Zhibo scratched his head. He felt that the women in the third team were all quite formidable, always liking to tease him like a child, which made him a bit uncomfortable.
Wang Yan called him so intimately right after meeting him, which made him think she was the same as the team leader and the others. Li Fang, on the other hand, seemed to have low intelligence, so he chose Li Fang.
"Brother, good choice!" Li Fang gave him a thumbs-up.
Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a little resentful. It seemed her sister was being rejected.
Yu Zhibo: "My choice was indeed correct. If I had gone with Wang Yan, I would definitely have been teased."
The Li Shanjun siblings looked at him with envy. "He's so valued right after joining the bureau. I'm so envious."
Soon, the brother and sister were taken away by Wang Yan to continue training, while Li Fang led Yu Zhibo to another side of the training ground.
As they walked, Li Fang spoke to Yu Zhibo. "The team leader said you're a composite-type awakened one. I haven't encountered this type of awakened one before, but I have a lot of experience guiding newcomers. Ange and Caiying were both trained by me. So, before I teach you, I need to understand your abilities. Besides the eye abilities, you should have other skills, right? For example, turning into a wild dog."
He, Li Fang, a D-class expert, had been in the Ability Bureau for seven or eight years and had seen all sorts of situations. He believed he definitely had something to teach Yu Zhibo.
Yu Zhibo knew that after his awakening, many videos of him had circulated within the third team. Moreover, these skills were his exclusive abilities, and it was difficult for others who were not part of the ninja sequence to imitate them. So, he directly said, "That transformation into a wild dog is the Transformation Jutsu. Besides that, I also have the Body Replacement Jutsu and the Great Fireball Jutsu. These jutsus require hand seals to be performed."
"Hand seals?" Li Fang was completely bewildered.
"Yes," Yu Zhibo nodded.
Li Fang pondered for two seconds. "It's hard to tell anything just by talking. How about this, show me a Great Fireball Jutsu."
"Okay!" Yu Zhibo agreed. He also wanted to see how strong a D-class expert was.
Yu Zhibo retreated to a distance of ten meters, formed the opposing seal, and then said, "I'm starting now!"
Li Fang nodded solemnly.
Immediately, Yu Zhibo's hands became a blur, and he silently recited: "Snake-Ram-Monkey-Hare-Horse-Tiger! Great Fireball Jutsu, activate!"
With the intermediate proficiency of the Great Fireball Jutsu, Yu Zhibo performed six hand seals in two seconds. After completing the seals, his spiritual energy was significantly depleted. Then, it transformed into a rolling hot current that surged up his throat and was finally expelled from his mouth.
A thin stream of flame, emitting astonishing heat, extended one meter forward before suddenly expanding into a scorching fireball that swept towards Li Fang.
Feeling the immense heat emanating from the fireball, Li Fang's face showed surprise. He wanted to use his basic echo wave to disrupt the fireball's core structure, but he sensed the spiritual energy within the fireball was wild and uncontrollable. If he didn't control it well, it might explode prematurely and cause friendly fire.
So, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Hmph!"
With this shout, an invisible sound wave emanated, condensed into a sphere, and collided with the air, producing a grating noise like scraping glass. It collided with the approaching fireball and then completely shattered the fireball in mid-air.
After the fireball was dispersed, the sound sphere, still carrying momentum, expanded in the air and then exploded silently, creating a huge crater on the ground.
Not far away, Wang Yan, who was supervising the training of the brother and sister, heard the loud commotion and couldn't help but turn her head to look.
Upon seeing the collision between the fireball and the sound sphere, Wang Yan exclaimed, a smile appearing on her face. "Little Fish is that powerful? He's not even E-class yet, and he's already forced out Li Fang's Exploding Sound Ball."
Beside her, the Li Shanjun siblings had even forgotten to train, looking at the scene with shock.
"Is this the strength of a newcomer who became a regular member of the Sacred Bureau immediately? It's terrifyingly strong!" the two of them thought.
Li Fang was a D-class expert, but Yu Zhibo, like them, was F-class, yet he was incredibly fierce.
"Then what's the point of my diligent training?" Li Shanjun felt a sense of loss, but after looking at his sister beside him, his gaze became firm again. He then turned and punched the thick wooden stake.
Wang Yan glanced at Li Shanjun and nodded approvingly, saying, "Don't feel discouraged. You're a strength-type awakened one. If you train to A-class, you'll be able to shatter the void with a single punch. Then, brute force will overcome all techniques. A mere fireball will be like cotton in your fist. Keep it up, I have high hopes for you!"
"I don't want to be a burden!" Li Shanzhu also clenched her small fists and then desperately released healing spells for her brother.
Wang Yan smiled. "The young ones in the third team all seem quite good!"
