Chapter 45: The Belated Monitoring Mission
Meeting Tang Ya and Xu Sanshi was just a small episode, and Wang Nan's college life soon got on track.
As he got older, his courses also changed. Theoretical courses were basically all completed, and more was focused on training and actual combat.
Sun He's teaching method has never changed. In every practical class, he personally competes with each student to help them improve their shortcomings.
However, as the students' abilities grew, he had to show some real skills in the practical classes.
"Wow--"
Along with the familiar sound, Sun He's abacus beads fell to the ground again.
"Okay, let's stop here for today." Sun He put away his martial spirit and looked at the students in front of him, "Wang Nan and Ling Luochen will stay for a while, the other students can go back. Remember to recall what I taught you after you go back, and don't fall in the same place twice."
Watching the students leave the fighting spirit area, Sun He called Wang Nan and Ling Luochen to his side.
"I asked you to come here because of the Soul Fighting Competition." Seeing the puzzled looks of Wang Nan and Ling Luochen, Sun He explained, "I know that the Soul Fighting Competition has been over for a year, but there is actually one thing you haven't completed."
"In fact, every time after selecting the reserve contestants for the Fighting Spirit Contest, the academy will arrange a monitoring mission. One is to let the reserve contestants understand the obligations of Shrek Inner Court disciples and the role of the monitoring team, and the other is to initially train the cooperation between you."
"However, due to special reasons, your team was incomplete last year." Sun He glanced at Wang Nan, "Also, there are not inspection missions suitable for your strength every year, so the academy postponed your mission until now."
"Come on, I'll take you to meet two official members of the Shrek Supervisory Group. They will tell you the details of the mission."
Seeing Ling Luochen nod, Sun He spoke again, "I know you don't like to talk much, but as I said before, a control-type soul master must not only control the enemy, but also control teammates."
"You are the brain of a team and are responsible for the coordination between your teammates. Since you have chosen to become a control-type soul master, you must at least learn to communicate with your teammates."
"I, I know."
"Okay, let's go. It just so happens that one of the two official members leading the team this time is a control-type spirit master. You can also learn from her and see what a real control-type spirit master can do."
The three of them talked as they hurried on their way, and soon they arrived at the shore of Poseidon Lake, where three inner court disciples were standing, one of whom was Ma Xiaotao. The other two were also girls, one of whom looked familiar, but Wang Nan had forgotten where she had seen her before. However, Ling Luochen's eyes moved slightly, and it seemed that she was someone she knew.
"Okay, I'll take you here." Sun He stopped and looked at Wang Nan and Ling Luochen. "No soul master's growth is smooth sailing. The road of soul master is destined to be accompanied by battles and dangers, but as a teacher, I hope that you can protect yourselves in this and all future missions."
After saying that, Sun He nodded slightly at the two inner court disciples and then left.
"Senior Sister." Ling Luochen rarely took the initiative to speak.
“Luochen, come here.” The inner court disciple who was called Senior Sister by Ling Luochen nodded slightly, then looked at Wang Nan, “You must be Wang Nan, right? In fact, we should have known each other earlier, but you missed the Fighting Spirit Competition.”
"My name is Zhang Lexuan, and this is Han Ruoruo."
Wang Nan looked at the two senior sisters, his eyes lingering on Han Ruoruo for half a second. To him, these two were no longer "strangers", and one of them might even become his family member.
As for Zhang Lexuan, he also remembered where he had seen her. Two years ago, when he had just passed the second-year assessment, Moon taught him some methods of using mental power. At that time, it was Zhang Lexuan who helped Moon return to Poseidon Island, and the two had met once. However, Wang Nan had changed so much in the past two years that Zhang Lexuan could not recognize him.
"Senior Sister Zhang, Senior Sister Han." Wang Nan greeted them and briefly introduced herself. Soon, several other reserve contestants also arrived.
"Senior Sister Zhang."
Last year, Zhang Lexuan led Shrek Academy to win the championship of the Fighting Spirit Competition and showed her amazing strength in the competition, which made several reserve players present admire her very much.
"We all know each other. I won't say more. We gathered here for the Shrek Supervisory Group's inspection mission."
At this point, the faces of several reserve players became serious.
"This inspection mission comes from the Douling Empire. There is a coastal city in the southeast of the Douling Empire. In recent years, there have been more and more cases of missing children in the city. Although it is within the territory of the Douling Empire, it is more often under the jurisdiction of the surrounding sects. Therefore, it is inconvenient for the Douling Empire royal family to take action, so they asked the academy for help."
"Although we have not completely confirmed that it was done by an evil soul master, no matter who it is or who the soul beast is, as long as it endangers ordinary people, it is within our monitoring range. This is your first mission."
"You have no objection to me leading the team on this mission, right?"
The seven reserve players all shook their heads.
"Well, you may not recognize this person next to me. This is Han Ruoruo, one of the last Shrek Seven Devils. If there is a battle in this mission, Senior Sister Han will be in charge. Okay, we will disband today. When you go back, you can prepare yourself and set off together tomorrow."
After explaining everything, Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo flew towards the Sea God Island. Ma Xiaotao glanced at Wang Nan, then spread her wings behind her, turned around and followed.
……
At night, Wang Nan did not meditate, but lay down on the bed to take a nap. After all, he had to go on an inspection mission tomorrow, and he didn't know what he would encounter along the way, so he probably wouldn't have much time to sleep.
"Xiao Nan, are you asleep?" Gong Yangmo's voice was rarely serious.
"Not yet, why haven't you slept yet?"
"I can't sleep." Gong Yangmo simply turned over. "Before, I just thought about entering the Shrek Inner Court, but I never thought that the Inner Court would have to complete such an important monitoring mission. I'm a little excited to think about leaving tomorrow, and of course a little nervous."
Wang Nan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "You are a support-type soul master, so don't rush too far forward. Also, some evil soul masters have very strange abilities and their attack methods are hard to defend against. They may attack again after becoming corpses, so don't be careless."
In any case, after three years of living and eating together, the Gong Yang Mo in front of Wang Nan is no longer the cold words in his memory of his previous life, but a living man with a sense of justice. He does not want the things in his memory to happen again.
"Thank you for your concern, Xiaonan. I will protect myself." Gong Yangmo blinked, "You have to protect yourself too."
