Xiang Xiaofang felt a warm current washing over him. His body that had stopped feeling anything suddenly started to feel comfortable. Specially his lower body felt rejuvenated. He started to feel his right leg that was unresponsive for several years. His damaged left leg also felt much better and a little less stiffer than before. Even his long dead little brother revived.

Xiang Xiaofang was unable to believe the changes happening to his body. His body was damaged by the dying all out flame attack of an immortal saint. And after that incident a long time had passed and his injuries became a normal state of his being. So for that reason those old wounds were way more troublesome to heal than a new wound.

Before completely losing his motivation and soul, he tried to search for a method to heal his injuries. But after doing a lot of research he came to realize that only a saint rank immortal cultivator specialised in healing arts or a demigod rank person would be able to heal him. Other than that a legendary alchemist could also create required potions or pills to heal him. But a legendary alchemist was even rarer than the previously mentioned two options. So he had lost all his hope of recovering.

But now like a bolt out of the blue, a savior appeared in his life. He was once more filled with hope but with also worry. After not fighting for many years and living like a vagabond, his strength had deteriorated and he was not as good as he was before.

Soon, Elena was done with the healings and Xiang Xiaofang was completely healed. He could feel his body overflowing with vitality. He tried to stand on his right foot and was able to do it. It was a very exciting moment for him. But just as he was getting overly excited Elena's next words poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

"Hmm, even though your wounds are healed now, your current body condition is terrible. You will probably not be able to even beat some of the strongest A rankers with your current strength let alone a S ranker. Forget about becoming a ruler, you first need to get back your previous strength."

All the excitement that Xiang Xiaofang was feeling suddenly calmed down. But a fire bloomed in his heart and became determined to follow his childhood dream of becoming a king.

Then Elena gave him some money and said -

"This is the price of your items that I just bought. Take this rest for the whole day. Then come and meet me in the Spring Soaring Park tomorrow morning. I will give you a bit of training there. Now you're my second disciple from this nation. You have a senior brother who is still young but with a lot of potential. You will meet him tomorrow too. Don't be late."

Saying so Elena left the restaurant and Xiang Xiaofang sat there open jawed after suddenly becoming a disciple.

...

Elena was in a good mood after finding a fellow avenger and another good student. In her life while saving the world, there were many cases when many people helped Elena and taught her a lot of things. Elena liked those people a lot and wanted to become like them.

For that reason, she liked to take students and she enjoyed teaching them new things and making them stronger. You can say it was Elena fulfilling her own desire instead of doing a charity and she never disagreed with that opinion. She was a selfish person and she accepted it easily.

And today he got her hands on another great talent. Even though Xiang Xiaofang had reached the S rank he still had some potential left in him. And most importantly he was blessed by her good friend, high goddess of Malevolent Corruption, Sophianiya. So obviously she was going to help him for her friend's sake too.

...

After returning back to the inn, Elena found Lin Yan to be busy with the new strategy game. She did not let him know that she was back and waited for him to come back to his senses after finishing this round of the virtual game.

It's been just a little bit over 2 hours since Lin Yan started to play the game. So in that regard, according to Elena's previous command, this should be the last round of the game for Lin Yan. Now Elena was curious to see if Lin Yan would be like an obedient student or a game addict.

Soon, Lin Yan came back to his senses and he still had an excited look on his face. He checked the time and realised that now it was time for him to stop playing this game anymore. But he was just enjoying this new activity way too much. And he did not realise that Elena had already come back, so he was torn between the decision to stop playing or to play one last time as his teacher would not know about it.

He had a hard time choosing and almost chose to play the game. But after some long internal struggle, he finally gave up his desire to play more. His teacher had told him to play for only 2 hours and he was going to do just that. She must have a reason to not let him play for over two hours and he was going to follow his teacher's commands fully.

"Fufu, it took you quite a long time to make up your mind, Yan'er."

Hearing that voice, Lin Yan jumped up from his bed. He did not expect Elena to be inside the room. He quickly stabilized himself and greeted Elena -

"Welcome back, Master. How was your trip ?"

Elena went close to Lin Yan and ruffled up his hair and replied -

"It was good. I also find you a junior brother. You have to take care of him from now on."

Hearing that Elena took in a new student, Lin Yan was overjoyed. He knew that Elena was an excellent teacher so he wanted her to have more students to know about her greatness. He imagined a 10 year old diligent boy as his junior and was very eager to meet him in person. So he asked -

"When will I be able to meet my junior brother ?"

"Both of us will train with him tomorrow. So that time you will be able to meet him. You will also help him train as it will be his first time I will be training him. So as a senior you have to take care of him."

"Yes, I will do my best to take care of my junior brother."

Elena knew that Lin Yan was imagining and she was laughing off her mind imaging his expression after finally seeing his new "Junior".

...

About 50 kilometres away from the Nine Ring City, inside a deep and dark forest, a lot of monsters were gathering. There were several kinds of monsters and weirdly they were not fighting with one another.

Normally whenever one species of monster encounters another species, then most of the time they would end up fighting each other. So one place having several types of monsters staying there without fighting each other was definitely a special situation.

Monsters were not the only ones present in that place, two humans were also there observing the monsters. There were over three hundred plus monsters and all of them were quite strong too. If this force had a Grandmaster rank powerhouse, then they would be able to even destroy the Nine Rings City.

Those two were speaking with each other.

"Senior brother Lu, when will we start to attack the Nine Rings City ?"

"Elder Fuyang is coming to support us in this operation. The Nine Rings City had a Grandmaster rank powerhouse of the Hell's Paradise sect as the city protector, so he will take care of him."

"Oh, that elder Fuyang, who is known as the "One Man Army". He had tamed a high A ranks flying monster and had more than 20 tamed beasts. He is also the strongest elder of our Beast Control sect. And his strength is just below grand elder Gu. With him here we would definitely be able to easily destroy the Nine Rings City."

"Absolutely. The Hell's Paradise sect had always been a great obstacle to our Beast Control sect's path. Now with the destruction of the Nine Rings City, they will lose one of their main suppliers of armaments which will weaken them greatly."

"Haha, then we are going to rise soon."

While those two students were laughing a large black crow type monster came down from the sky. On the back of the crow monster, a tall and slim man with slick black and long hair was standing. This young looking man was none other than the strongest elder of the Beast Control sect, Gu Songjiyuan.

He had also brought 20 more sect members of the Beast Control sect. They were going to control these three hundred plus monsters to wreck havoc on the Nine Rings City. Their morale was very high as this surprise attack was completely unknown to the Hell's Paradise sect and they also had their strongest elder with them. So they were very confident of their victory.

Danger was coming toward the Nine Rings City.
