After three hours of long queuing, two applicants exhaled in relief when they finally managed to successfully applied.
They could not help but to shook their heads when they saw these 3 rows of long queues. If not for Shen Murong acting as the security guard, some would have already skipped the line at the front out of impatience. If that happens, riots would definitely ensue.
”Hey, did you hear that? They only have 5 more slots!” one of them spoke out.
”What? That's too little! How will their selection process will be then?” replied the other, surprised.
”I heard its some kind of a duel between shortlisted applicants.” said the man as he cupped his chin.
”Damn! This is even harder than my job interviews! If it is going to be a duel, there is now way I would be able to win!” the other cursed out between his teeth, feeling depressed.
”Calm down! The final verdict would be decided by the Lord himself, Duan Li! Regardless if someone won or lost, each have their equal chances before him!”
The two of them continued to discuss their strategies IF they got shortlisted. After all, the total number of applicants has reach well over a thousand already!
It would be a miracle if they got the chances and be shortlisted.
...
Soon, the recruitment ended for the day as Shen Lu, Wang Xiolun and Xiahou Yu closed down their booths and prepared to leave towards their respective classes for the day.
”You guys have classes today?” asked Duan Li as he approached them.
”I have classes both in the morning and the afternoon.” Wang Xiolun replied as he nodded. His tone and body language was now more polite towards Duan Li.
”Me too! Today is gonna be full time for me! I hate the classes for today, the teachers are way too strict!” Shen Lu remarked with a sigh.
Xiahou Yu thought for awhile with her index finger on her chin and then answered, ”I only have classes in the morning and free by the afternoon! Although, I have plans after that. I might be coming home early though.”
Hearing these, Duan Li nodded.
”I see, what about you?” Duan Li said to Shen Murong.
”I don't have any classes today, but I have to return to my clan and report. But don't worry, I won't say anything that I'm not supposed to divulge out. Wouldn't want to cause trouble for myself anyway.” Shen Murong replied.
After some small talks between them, each went their separate ways with different emotions each.
”Looks like Shen Lu's class must be quite stressful. As expected of a Strategist.” Duan Li commented as he looked at their disappearing figure from the distance.
Now, only he was left alone in the residence court.
At this moment, Duan Li's party could be considered to be all-rounded for a group battle. They have three Warriors with him included, one Spellcaster and one Strategist. The only class they were lacking right now was an Alchemist.
Before a group battle, the role of Strategists would be to deploy tactics and manuever nodes for their course of actions during a battle. They must ensure that all things are considered as best as they could.
Meanwhile, during the battle, the roles of Warriors are far more straightforward. Each could be designated as either the vanguard or the rear-guard.
As for Spellcasters, they are more flexible between attacking, defensive and supportive roles. However, these are predetermined before the battle by the Strategist. The reason being was that, although they were flexible, they tended to exhaust their spiritual Qi sooner than the others!
Thus, their enemy targets are far more specific than the Warriors. For defensive roles, they were more needed to protect the backs of both vanguards and rear-guards, with inclination towards the former. As for supportive roles, they were to cast healing and recovery magic, as well as buffs for allies and debuffs for the enemies.
In other words, the key elements for a successful battle would be to make good use of these Spellcasters!
However, the roles of an Alchemist were also equally important.
This was because, although they would usually have the weakest battle prowess out of all the classes, their pills and elixirs could add more advantages and reverse the tides in an unlucky situations during a battle!
With their means, they could help allies significantly both before and during the battle in many different ways, either buffs or recovery. Furthermore, after the battle, they would be the person most needed on the battlefield to distribute recuperative pills and elixirs for the next incoming battle.
Thus, an Alchemist was actually the lifeline of a party!
”Hmm.. even though I am quite capable in producing pills and elixirs myself, mine is quite unorthodox. Having an orthodox Alchemist whom produces pills and elixirs based on the situations would be far more beneficial in a group battle.” thought Duan Li as he flipped the applicants paper one by one.
In his opinion, what he needed the most right now would be Spellcasters, Alchemist and Warriors according to their priority level. For Strategist, he decided that Shen Lu was enough for now.
Thus, he separated all the applicants into categories based on their classes and star ranks. The rest, he would have to depend on Shen Lu for the shortlisting process.
”That's done! Now I need to finish reading the whole loads of books that my disciple borrowed for me. I guess I could finish reading them all today.” he said as he went to the reading room.
...
After five hours, Duan Li had managed to read all hundred books and he could feel his brains to be overheating from absorbing too much of information at once.
”My reading speed had become even faster! However, the feeling of my brain overheating like now is not something I would like to feel every single time after reading..” Duan Li sighed.
Guess there were still limits he couldn't overcome naturally despite the seemingly omnipotent abilities he was bestowed with.
He could extend it if he were to eat pills or elixirs, but unless he was desperate enough, he wouldn't do it. After all, even though he loves reading books, he was not a maniac.
”Let's see.. what should I do next?” Duan Li sat in the room as he cupped at his chin.
He had concocted some improved Battle Pills of his own version and read a whole pile of books. The only thing he needed to do right now was to rest for a bit!
