As the battle progressed, Jeff found his situation to be easier and easier.
He was surprised by the drastic change once he received assistance from Carn, feeling quite shocked.
'She was struggling to control the Elentalist earlier, but now she's doing it with ease.' Jeff thought, swinging his battle axe at another staggered Raburle.
Normally, it would take him at least 2-5 minutes to kill one of them when being surrounded by so many Raburles. Yet thanks to Carn, the ti was shortened to just 1 minute for each kill.
After all, Carn was not only disrupting one of the Raburles for him to kill but also hindering the nearby Raburles with the second Elentalist she had summoned.
Added to the fact that Xu Feng buffed him repeatedly and healed him in a tily manner, he didn't have to focus on defense and could place all his attention on offense.
"The battle should be over in around 5 minutes." Xu Feng said after a brief calculation. Unless there were so more external factors interrupting them, the Raburles should soon resolve.
Sure enough, there wasn't so cliche or coincidence of more monsters coming from out of thin air to interrupt the battle as the final Raburle died under Jeff's bloody battle axe.
"Phew, it's finally over."
As soon as the battle ended, Carn slumped to the ground, exhausted and fatigued, her forehead filled with sweat.
"Have so water," Xu Feng kindly offered, glancing at her with a warm smile. She might have been exhausted, but Xu Feng was already impressed by her fast improvent.
Her improvent helped solidify his thinking that she was definitely filled with hidden potential.
After all, what was said and done, the rumors of Carn being the infamous demoness that killed nurous experts were only heard through third parties.
Xu Feng himself had never interacted with the demoness in his past tiline.
However, seeing Carn's fight personally resolved that tiny bit of doubt in his mind. The rumors were definitely not exaggerated in the slightest if Carn was to continue to improve and rise.
"Thanks," Carn gladly accepted the water and drank a mouthful of it before feeling refreshed. Her mana was practically emptied out when she attempted to utilize Elental Command nurous tis.
"How was my performance?" She turned to Xu Feng and asked, hoping to hear his evaluation of her combat style.
"You want the truth or half-true and half-lies?"
"..."
Unamused, Carn held a deadpan expression as she stared at him.
Hearing such a response normally ant the performance was diocre, and the other party was just trying to be nice by asking if they wanted to hear the truth or lie to deceive them.
"No need to look so sulkingly," Xu Feng consoled. "The performance is decent, but it can definitely be better next ti."
Before Carn could respond, Jeff suddenly interjected, "That's quite a harsh statent. Without Lunar Wraith's assistance, I might have a hard ti isolating the Raburles and dealing with them effectively."
"Save your flattery for next ti," Xu Feng rolled his eyes and pointed at the Raburle corpses. "Go collect those corpses and bring them over here first. Or do I need to remind you how a rcenary should act?"
Unable to rebuke, Jeff begrudgingly turned around and proceeded to gather the corpses. Even though most of the effort was made by him, he was a hired rcenary at the end of the day. It was his duty and job to do all this nial work.
While sending Jeff away from interrupting him, Xu Feng resud his focus on Carn.
"You might think I'm being harsh or nitpicking, but think back to the battle earlier. Just how many tis did I need to heal Jeff?" He questioned softly.
Instead of explaining to her about the process, he wanted her to think critically about it. Given her potential, Xu Feng was positive she would gain more if she were to figure it out herself.
anwhile, Carn started to knit her brows, trying to recall the earlier battle.
'My control of the two Elentalists wasn't that great, but it wasn't bad either. I assisted Jeff in lessening his pressure, but it wasn't perfect.' Carn pondered silently.
She recalled that there were many occasions that she whiffed her skill, allowing a few Raburles to approach Jeff and inflict damage on him.
Had it not been for Xu Feng constantly supporting from behind, Jeff's current state would have been terrible. He would win, but it wouldn't be in his near clean slate— to the point that he still had enough stamina to gather the corpses.
Despite thinking so, Carn pursed her lips and responded, "I'm just starting to grasp the concept, so isn't your grading too harsh, Feng? Do I look like so genius that can instantly comprehend and master it?"
Stunned for a mont, Xu Feng beca amused by her response.
How unexpected was the response she gave?
If it were Zhao Kai, he would have scratched his head, foolishly laughed, and said he'd do better.
However, Carn realized she was inexperienced and argued that her performance could be considered decent already. Not allowing him to take her down a notch.
Nodding his head, Xu Feng didn't reprimand her and instead approved such a response.
What he wanted was people with self-confidence and a relentless attitude that prevented others from bringing them down.
"Alright, your performance was good enough for your current skills." Xu Feng smiled calmly.
"But I do expect you to continue to improve. After all, you wouldn't want to be kicked again by
who evaluates you as soone with high potential, right?" He cheekily added, riling her up.
"You really are a shrewd person, Feng." Carn flatly comnted. "You want
to join your future guild, but you are refusing to complint . Is that how you're supposed to recruit people?"
Xu Feng simply shrugged his shoulders in response. To be precise, he didn't want to recruit people, but talents that he had an eye on.
What was the point of recruiting tons when they were incapable of matching against one talented individual?
