Hell, run away, the little milk baby is coming to the underworld again.

Chapter 1648 A Step Apart

At first, when Xiao Yanbao saw that some elves came out of the Spirit Array so quickly, she thought that the array could not eliminate many elves.

I'm afraid I'll have to undergo a third assessment.

Xiao Yanbao pondered in her heart what method she should use for this third assessment.

However, after the first Pokémon appeared, not many more Pokémon appeared in succession.

The elven chieftain seemed to have guessed Xiao Yanbao's thoughts. "Spirit Lord, this teleportation array is not so easy to pass. Those elves who can emerge within half a quarter of an hour are the best of the best. No more than half of the elves will be able to emerge by the end of the quarter of an hour."

Xiao Yanbao: If that's really the case, then I don't need to take the third assessment.

Near the end of the fifteen-minute mark, Xiao Yanbao noticed a large number of elves starting to rush out.

But just as they were about to step out of the Spirit Array, the Elf Chieftain deactivated it.

Xiao Yanbao took a look and realized that it was just a little bit short. If the Elf Chieftain had gone easy on them, many more elves could have escaped.

The elves, who were just a step away, let out a chorus of wails.

Damn legs, why can't you run any faster?

Just one step away, only one step away.

If it were much worse, that would be fine.

The elven chieftain put away the Instant Spirit Array.

The elves who were just one step away from leaving gathered around, pleading, "Chieftain, please, we're just one step away, please let us go."

The elven chieftain said coldly, "It's not passed, it's not passed. The Spirit Lord is watching. Are you asking me to cheat in front of the Spirit Lord? What right do I have to be the chieftain then?"

So the elves went to ask Little Yanbao for help again.

“Spiritual Lord, we were just one step away, just one step! The old patriarch finished the assessment a step ahead of us, otherwise we could have passed. Spiritual Lord, please let us go with you. We will definitely not hold you back.”

If the clan chief is unforgiving, then shift the blame to the clan chief.

The elven chieftain was furious. These brats, just to fight alongside the Spirit Lord, actually dared to slander him to his face.

The time was set, so why did he finish early?

Xiao Yanbao: You've all shifted the blame to the old clan chief, so of course I have to shift it too.

"This assessment was presided over by the old clan chief, so the decision is up to him. He can end it when he wants, or make it unacceptable when he wants. My decision doesn't count."

The old clan chief stretched out his hand, and a feather duster appeared in his hand.

He lashed out at the elves who had just tried to shift the blame onto him, yelling as he did so: "You little bastards, you've really grown some guts! You actually dared to slander me right in front of me! Don't even mention being one step away, even if you were only half a step away, it's because you're not capable enough. You've been slacking off all this time, and now you're anxious and regretful. There's no medicine for regret in this world. Why did the other elves manage to get out, but you were just one step away? Instead of looking for the reasons within yourselves, you only think about shifting the blame. I'll make sure you get a good spanking today."

The drill ground immediately became lively.

When Xiao Yanbao saw the feather duster, she thought of her older brother.

My mother used a feather duster to beat my brother.

It seems that the fighting techniques are quite consistent across different interfaces.

A feather duster is a universal tool.

After a long period of chaos, only the handle of the feather duster remained in the old clan chief's hand; all the chicken feathers had been pulled out.

Those elves who were trying to shift the blame were all clutching their backsides and grimacing.

This time, the old patriarch was truly angry and showed no mercy to his men.

Just by looking at that feather duster with only the handle left, you could tell the old clan chief was really going all out.

The old chieftain examined the duster handle in his hand again and again, then ordered the elves who were being whipped, "Each of you make me a feather duster, or you can forget about ever leaving the elven race."

Such a threat is far more terrifying than being beaten up.

Although unwilling, I had no choice but to obediently do as I was told.

The old clan chief was incredibly unreasonable. He broke the feather duster himself, and their buttocks were still sore. They got whipped and now they had to pay for the feather duster. What a loss!

Little Yanbao was having a great time watching this.

His mouth was never closed.

As long as the feather duster doesn't hit you, you'll be happy no matter who it hits.

Those who failed to escape the Instant Spirit Array were initially quite frustrated, but after seeing those who were just one step away from being beaten, their frustration instantly vanished.

Finally, seeing that the number of participants was about right, Xiao Yanbao decided not to conduct a third round of assessments.

"Those who pass the Instant Spirit Array test can come with me to fight in the Demon Realm. Although you have all passed the test, it is up to you whether you go or not. You are not forced to go. If you do not want to go, you can tell the old clan leader quietly."

Hearing Xiao Yanbao say that, the elves whose bottoms had just been whipped felt even more pain.

Oh no, how come we were just one step away?

"Spirit Lord, if any of those who passed the test don't go, will we have a chance to take their place?"

Xiao Yanbao originally didn't have such thoughts.

But Xiao Yanbao nodded, "Okay, considering they had just been hit with the duster."

So those who got whipped just stared longingly at the elves who passed the test, hoping someone would suggest they not go.

This is their last chance.

Unfortunately, not a single person suggested not going.

Even when elves offered to buy it with spirit stones, not a single one was tempted.

Although these elves have passed the test, they have not yet overcome their fear of fire.

Although these Pokémon aren't scared away by fire, they can't use their attacks when facing it, so they still need more training.

Actually, Xiao Yanbao had already made up her mind before she came to the Elf Clan.

Each elf who went to war was given a fire-avoidance talisman.

Fire cannot harm them.

So the elves who went into battle trained in the training ground for two days, wearing fire-avoidance talismans.

They are no longer afraid of fire.

The main reason is that Xiao Yanbao's fire-avoiding talisman is very effective.

The elves knew what was going on.

With confidence comes boldness.

Those elves who couldn't go with Xiao Yanbao and couldn't participate in the training still came to watch, their envy palpable.

The emotions of the elves are the purest; they have never felt such intense envy before.

Because of this assessment, the elven race began a fierce competition, pushing each other to the brink of destruction.

Nobody wants to have that opportunity again; we were just one step away.

I never want to experience that regret of missing out by just one step again.

Especially those elves who had been whipped.

They are the ones who caused this infighting.

Years later, the Elf race also secured a place in various realms because of this intense competition.

In the end, the old clan chief did not go with Xiao Yanbao and the others, but was led by Yinla.
