Although Wu Yuhan did not set any strict requirements, as a future great, Jiang Kehan had her own pride. After all, the team she trained should at least be a third place, right?
What methods are there to improve Yang Xiling?
She pondered that the great witches rarely became teachers to others; they were all busy with their own great undertakings.
If middle witches still have the right to be complacent and not pay much attention to their own hearts, then great witches are different. Although they are not in a situation where they have to retreat, it is no less difficult to make them stop than to put a knife to their throats.
Trying to lure people in with benefits alone is unlikely to be very successful.
Otherwise, Wu Yuhan wouldn't have wanted Jiang Kehan to come here as a coach. She's finally found a great witch who's interested, and she's not going to let her go.
"Where can we find a teacher who is proficient in all schools of magic?"
Jiang Kehan muttered to herself, immediately rejecting the Fran witches brought back from the portal.
They themselves still need to learn the "future" of exceptionally advanced magical concepts, making them even more incompetent than Yang Xiling.
As Jiang Kehan pondered, Nuoxi also stepped onto the dueling arena, which temporarily pulled Jiang Kehan out of her thoughts, allowing her to watch her former teammates with great interest.
She still cared about Nuoxi. Nuoxi's somewhat clumsy but determined demeanor had left a deep impression on her, and Nuoxi had always admired Jiang Kehan.
The Thunder Cat Ball was carefully selected and brought over by Jiang Kehan for Nuoxi—doesn't openness and thunder go well together?
However, at this moment, Nuoxi was not facing the powerful Thunder Catball, but the weakest Mountain Catball.
Compared to Thunderball, Mountain Catball is clumsier, and its main attack method is only close-range combat.
Compared to witches, catballs of the same level are mostly at a significant disadvantage, and can only temporarily bully weaker opponents.
Their role in duels is more like support, so even if Nuoxi and Thunder Cat Ball form a partnership contract, it is difficult for them to match a normal Great Witch.
After all, even the Thunder Catball couldn't protect a middle-level witch from the Great Witch.
This can also be seen in the battle between Nuoxi and Shanfeng Miaoqiu.
Nuoxi is a bit petite than Jiang Kehan. Although the two are about the same height, she doesn't have Jiang Kehan's broad chest or smooth thighs.
But it wasn't exactly thin; it had a delicate beauty. However... when facing a mountain cat ball that was over three meters tall and resembled a ghost, it was still somewhat vulnerable.
The shapeshifter chosen by Mountain Catball resembles a ghost, yet unexpectedly possesses a physical form, reaching the pinnacle in both speed and power.
On the surface, the Mountain Cat Ball almost completely overwhelmed Nuoxi, but in reality...
It can only be said that Meowball is still Meowball. Even with such a large gap, it still can't catch up with Nuoxi in her burst state.
Nuoxi held a simple, sharp blade and, with the help of spatial magic and the blessing from the Suzhu faction, was able to temporarily get rid of her opponent for a short time.
Moreover, what stunned Jiang Kehan the most was Nuoxi's eyes, which were calm yet adorned with unwavering determination, as if no matter what the situation, it would not surprise her.
"She looks just like Theresa."
Jiang Kehan murmured unconsciously, prompting Gu Qingci, who was beside her, to ask a question with some confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Kehan smiled and shook her head, a hint of nostalgia in her voice: "I did see glimpses of old friends, but..."
"Noxi has a better future."
Nuoxi, watching the increasingly agitated Mountain Cat Ball in the dueling arena, exhaled a breath of stale air.
Since becoming a witch, she abandoned her original shield and replaced it with a thin, sharp blade, not because she no longer needed to defend herself.
Rather, she knew that mere defense could never defeat an opponent who was already far more powerful. Only by constantly pushing forward and using the sharpest blade to pierce the opponent's heart could she ensure the safety of her teammates.
The core goal of openness is not to be enterprising, but to enable more people to enjoy beauty.
This is the unique "guardian" that Nuoxi discovered from the duel.
Chapter 454 Thank you
The silver light belonging to the forbidden faction flickered in and out of the duel arena. The tampered truth and the mastered knowledge, driven by magic, turned into the purest destruction.
Silver is the last glimmer of brilliance before the all-consuming darkness.
Nuoxi thought with a slight regret, if she hadn't been caught by the mountain cat ball, would she have been able to see the dark scene of the other party being swallowed up?
However, she wasn't too upset. Instead, she smiled, turned into a firefly, and disappeared into the dueling arena.
After Nuoxi was resurrected, Jiang Kehan was already standing behind her. Suddenly, she tiptoed and touched the other's head. Jiang Kehan had wanted to try this for a long time. She was always the one being touched. Finally, it was her turn to touch someone else!
"Well done," she said sincerely.
The fact that Nuoxi was able to hold out in the Mountain Cat Ball until the stage for unleashing the forbidden faction was set up is enough to demonstrate her combat level. In particular, her fearless aura and her quick thinking in the face of danger are a sight to behold.
She is much better than her other teammates. She is very serious at first glance. Nuoxi's future may even be that of the Witch of the End. She has an unwavering heart and enough talent.
Nuoxi squinted her eyes with some enjoyment, and only after Jiang Kehan withdrew her hand did she look at Jiang Kehan with bright eyes and some longing, and asked, "By the way, where has Kehan been these past six months?"
Jiang Kehan's smile became complicated, then slowly faded, and she said softly.
"Maybe he went to save the world, but... I guess I was one of those who were saved."
Nuoxi nodded thoughtfully, then smiled brightly and replied, "Should I thank you?"
Ugh?
Jiang Kehan snapped out of her daze and was about to explain when she saw Nuoxi's serious gaze, as if... she had never doubted the truth of those words.
Really.
Jiang Kehan's inner hesitation was like solid ice meeting a warm current, gradually dissipating in the mist, making her want to laugh.
"Thank you? A witch's thank you is not a word she says lightly."
She withdrew her hand from stroking Nuoxi's hair and explained to her with a hint of teasing that Nuoxi was also a transformation witch and did not understand some of the unique culture of witches.
So, Nuoxi, who had been calm, gradually opened her mouth wide, her fair cheeks flushed a lovely blush, and she became visibly flustered.
"I, that's not what I meant."
Jiang Kehan smiled, took Nuoxi's hand, and looked at her earnestly, saying, "I know, but I felt the gratitude the moment I met you."
"Aren't we all trying to change the world in our own ways?"
The tension of life lies in the courage to leap over cliffs and deep seas, to touch the unreachable sky, knowing full well that one will fall into the ocean immediately after takeoff, without regret.
Jiang Kehan is like this, and so is Nuoxi.
They are all working hard in their own ways, and this attitude is what Jiang Kehan is willing to protect, and it is also the best way to thank her.
"Yes!" Nuoxi nodded emphatically. It was clear that she was no longer the timid and shy child she used to be.
Or rather, her past timidity and shyness did not hold her back; instead, they transformed into tranquility and clarity within her.
Growing up... Jiang Kehan looked at Nuoxi with a smile, feeling somewhat emotional.
Unlike her, Nuoxi has truly entered adulthood, has grown rapidly in her mind, and has something worth spending her whole life on.
so good.
Jiang Kehan suddenly realized that after spending half a year in the Time Gate, she seemed to have become more mature. Facing Nuoxi, who was the same age as her, she had become accustomed to standing from the perspective of someone who had come before her.
They were clearly in the same year.
Jiang Kehan smiled slightly. Once upon a time, she was just like Nuoxi, with sparkling eyes, listening to Li Hui explain the customs of this world to her. In the blink of an eye, it was her turn to explain to the other witches.
But things are alright now.
Jiang Kehan and Nuoxi chatted casually, and the initial slight awkwardness due to not seeing each other for a long time completely disappeared. Instead, they got to know each other better.
Compared to Ariel, Nuoxi's feelings were purer; she simply admired him, which prompted Jiang Kehan to reveal more of her thoughts.
For example, the difficulties that Yang Xiling is currently facing were discussed.
Nuoxi was also a little surprised: "Sister Yang Xiling doesn't usually show this. She's always very easygoing and gives us confidence."
"You wouldn't guess that she was actually hesitant about the future, or even felt sad."
Jiang Kehan stroked her chin, looking at Yang Xiling who had stepped onto the dueling arena again not far away, without taking a break at all, and said.
"Perhaps everyone has a different face, but... I can actually feel Yang Xiling's suppressed heart. She is struggling and roaring, wanting to get a response in the battle."
"It's just a pity that this time, the simple battle could not respond to her roar, leaving her feeling a little lonely."
"Can you help her?" Nuoxi asked earnestly, her eyes filled with sincerity.
“That’s exactly why I came here,” Jiang Kehan said with a light laugh, giving the other party an affirmative response.
But though she said it so easily, looking at Yang Xiling's resolute figure, she was already starting to get a headache.
The sunlight outside the window wasn't scorching, and there was a slight breeze. A witch raised her hand, gently knocked on the door, and stepped into the training ground, following the sunlight.
Then, amidst the surprised looks of others, she smiled and spoke words that resonated deeply with the troubled girl.
"Looks like you need me again, Kehan."
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Kehan turned around instantly. She looked at Li Hui, who seemed to have walked out of the academy where the two had met that morning, and her face was filled with surprise and joy.
Li Hui looked around with interest, then nodded slightly to Gu Qingci, and walked curiously to Nuo Xi, pinching her cheek and praising her gently.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you. Nuoxi has grown up so much."
Nuoxi nodded in surprise. Looking at her former top student and feeling the praise, she felt her heart skip a beat.
Because the person in front of her is the very goal she has been pursuing all along, and the reference point for her continuous progress.
In Nuoxi's eyes, this praise was a gift that made her overjoyed.
"I heard from Wu Yuhan that you were coming here to be a coach, so I guessed that you would blindly agree to other people's requests."
Li Hui looked at Jiang Kehan with a hint of helplessness, but his calm tone was full of doting and tolerance.
"So I came. After all, isn't your business also my business?"
“Spells happen to be something I’m good at, so I’ll teach them.”
She looked meaningfully at Jiang Kehan, who was trying to get away with acting cute, and said this.
"That includes you, Kehan."
Chapter 455 The two foster mothers received a bow from the little lamb!
Li Hui's arrival was like a refreshing breeze after a summer rain, amidst the cicadas' chirping, so cool and sweet that it gently pecked away the sweltering heat and worries in Jiang Kehan's heart.
Unlike Jiang Kehan, Li Hui is a true all-rounder. In terms of talent alone, other witches can only chase after her.
Even...lily.
