    “Why bother when she can just get what you want?” First Clone knew Xu Fan’s intention for setting up an entrance test.


    “Fine, for your sake, let her be a third-generation disciple,” Xu Fan said.<div>


    First Clone had indeed solved quite a few troubles for Xu Fan, so he decided to agree to this matter.


    At this time, in the Sect Master Peak’s cafeteria, a little girl was pestering the Sect’s Chief Chef, wanting to be his apprentice.


    Er Tie looked helplessly at this scene. Simr things had happened before in the Volcanic Mountain Immortal Town; his little sister also clung to a chef’s hand, wanting to be his apprentice.


    “Little girl, why don’t you focus on cultivating immortality instead of learning cooking? It’s not suitable for a young girl like you,” said the Golden Core strong man who had be Hidden Spirit Sect’s Chief Chef.


    “Master, please ept little Yuan’s bow.” The little girl’s eyes were firm, ready to bow down to the Chief Chef.


    At this moment, Er Tie pulled his sister up and walked away.


    “Master just told me that you have passed the entrance examination, now you are a third-generation disciple of Hidden Spirit Sect. I’ll take you to the Hidden Spirit Academy,” he said.


    “From now on, you can enjoy delicious food every day.”


    Er Tie’s words hit Er Yuan’s weak spot; she stopped struggling, looking back at the Hidden Spirit Sect’s Chief Chef with a clear intention of returning someday.


    At Hidden Spirit Academy, members of two sses werepeting against each other in a simtion game, wearing helmets.


    Inside the game, arge arena had eighty students fighting against each other, dividing thepetition on both sides.<div>


    On one side, they were led by Li Leihu with the Ten Thousand Thunder Body, and on the other side by Lin Mowan with the Wood Source Sacred Body.


    At the moment, a young girl in a green dress was standing on the battlefield facing a young man.


    “Would you dare to stop using tree vines to trip us?” Li Leihu shouted at his “archenemy”, as the strongest squad leader of ss One, he couldn’t ept that his ss lost to ss Two.


    “Don’t talk nonsense, at worst, your ss can lose again. After all, you are already used to losing,” the young girl in a green dress said with augh.


    The proud expression on her face made Li Leihu feel extremely humiliated.


    Li Leihu thought of the time when he dered to his father that his team had only ced second; that happy and proud look on his father’s face made him feel that he must lead his ss topete for the first ce.


    “Little Wood, your tree vines can’t trap me this time!” Li Leihu said as a war de appeared in his hand, leading the front row of his ss to charge towards ss Two.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    “Front row, keep up! Use the Fire Book to clear the ground, and water and wind attribute brothers, create fog,” Li Leihu said while running.


    “You’ve grown some skills, but I’m not bad either,” said Lin Mowan arrogantly. She then cast a spell that made the ground grow a forest in front of her, creating a fog-filled array.


    In the foggy forest, countless snake-like tree vines were flying, pulling out a disciple of ss One from time to time, then being killed by the ss Two disciples.


    At this moment, loud thunder erupted from the foggy forest as a thunder-infused de light burst out, directly eliminating four of the ss Two students.<div>


    Seeing its great power, Lin Mowan gritted her teeth and adjusted the positions of the foggy forest trees with her seal.


    At this moment, outside the battlefield of the two sses, Er Tie and Er Yuan were watching and considering which ss to join. This was a small welfare that First Clone had fought for Er Yuan.


    “Big brother, which ss should I join? Both of these sses seem so powerful,” said Er Yuan, watching the distant battle. Although ss One was being suppressed, they were still putting up a good fight.


    “I think you should go to the first ss. It’s all about closebat, and you’re so clumsy; you’ll never learn magic.” Er Tie said, stroking his chin.


    “I want to learn magic.” Er Yuan pouted. In her opinion, casting spells at a distance was the proper way for cultivators.


    “You studied at the Volcano Immortal Town’s school for half a year and still couldn’t master even a simple hand seal. You can’t learn those techniques.”


    “Just join ss one and hurry up.” Er Tie said and took Er Yuan offline to enroll in the Hidden Spirit Academy.


    Er Tie watched as the puppet led Er Yuan into the ssroom before leaving and called a Spirit Boat to fly to Number One Clone’s residence.


    At the Holy City of the Moon Fox Demon n, the Four Great Demon Sovereigns gathered.


    “We must get our four ns’ Artifact Refining masters back.” The Moon Fox Demon Sovereign said, sitting in the main seat of a great hall.


    “Yes.” The Wood Mouse Monster Sovereign nodded. He had almost exhausted his n’s resources to get an Artifact Refining master for them.<div>


    “Now, we have two methods. The first one is to gather the mortals with spiritual roots that our four ns have captured so far and use them to exchange for those four refining masters.”


    “The second method is to ask our allies among the Mahayana demon ns to go to the Steel Great Wall and force the Human n Venerables to hand over the refining masters,” said Moon Fox Demon Sovereign.


    “What about those attacks from the sky?” Frost Wolf Demon Sovereign asked. Although he knew that there must berge-scale Dao Artifacts attacking them from the sky, no Demon Sovereign dared to go investigate because those attacks could potentially kill them.


    “Let’s try both ways. First, we use the mortals with spiritual roots to trade, and at the same time, we send people to the neighboring great ns to ask their Demon Sovereigns for help.” Wood Mouse Demon Sovereign said.


    “I think it’s feasible.” Earth Bear Monster Venerable said. Among all the demon sovereigns present, he had suffered the least losses and contributed the least.


    The other three demon sovereigns rolled their eyes at Earth Bear Venerable’s words, thinking he was disparaging.


    “Let’s do as decided. Another thing, each of your ns must have spies controlled by the Human n’s divine abilities. You better be cautious,” the Moon Fox Demon Sovereign warned them with a gloomy expression in his eyes. Recently, he had lost more than a hundred refiners and finally found out who was responsible.


    “Understood.”


    At this moment, in the Demon World, in a deste area billions of miles away from Moon Fox n’s territory, a vast underground base had been built.


    Countless sky-based weapon satellites were hidden in the sky, carrying fire spirit shells.


    A pure white Earth Crystal Spider was idly watching a line of puppets collect Fire Spirit Fine Ore.


    “Pu Tao Number One, when will your mastere back? I haven’t finished learning my divine abilities,” said the Earth Crystal Spider, baring its sharp teeth.


    “For unknown reasons, the teleportation array has been sealed. Once it’s restored, my master will return. Please be patient,” a Void Refining Puppet replied.


    By now, the Void Refining Puppet had been modified to carry shells made of Fire Spirit Fine Ore all over its body.


    “What if your master neveres back? Your collected spiritual ore would be useless then,” the Earth Crystal Spider said, looking at the puppets collecting spiritual ore.


    “The probability of that happening is zero. One day, I will receive a signal from my master. Until then, my mission is to collect resources for self-preservation and storage.”
