Chapter 551: Chapter 278: Elite Team (Part 2) Ron looked at the six students in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. The "Elite Team" composed of these six people was one of the greatest achievements of his teaching this month. Through "Extraordinary Recognition," he selected these six exceptionally talented Apprentices from over a hundred students. Although their starting points were different, they all showed potential beyond their peers and a thirst for knowledge. "Thanks for everyone’s support." Ron nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over each young face: "However, more important than me is your progress. Each of you is working hard to learn, and that is more precious to me than any gift." The silver-haired youth, Herman, possessed the rare second-tier "Multi-Dimensional Resonance" talent. He was the strongest in the group and also had the highest level of potion-making skills. He said excitedly: "Master, following your suggestions last week, I have successfully achieved the Energy Secondary Cycle you taught, improving efficiency by nearly half!" "Well done, Herman." Ron affirmed: "Next week, I will teach you more complex cycle models. If mastered properly, the efficiency can be improved further." Another member of the Elite Team, the red-haired girl Lucia, was an Apprentice with a strong bloodline sensing talent. She shyly said: "Master, as per your suggestion, I studied the adaptation mechanisms of Abyssal mutants and found some interesting patterns. I organized my observations into a report." "Leave it on my desk. I will read and review it later, and give you individual guidance after the next class." Ron nodded and encouragedly nodded to the red-haired girl. Lucia’s research potential on Abyssal creatures even surpassed some Advanced Apprentices. The six students took turns reporting their progress, and Ron patiently provided feedback and new guidance. These extraordinary young people all showed astonishing potential in their respective fields of expertise. And Ron, like a gardener, meticulously nurtured these gifted seedlings. The blessings they brought were much purer and stronger than ordinary students, now all accumulated by him. After finishing the exchange with the group members, Ron indicated that they could leave: "Alright, the holiday has begun. Go and take a good rest. But don’t forget the personal research tasks I assigned. I look forward to seeing your results." After the students left one after another, only Ron and Liss, who had been waiting by the side, remained in the classroom. The girl had already begun to tidy up the materials and tools on the demonstration table, her movements skillful and careful. "Liss, you can leave these materials for the Cleaning Golem to handle. You don’t need to worry about these trivial tasks." Ron said while organizing his teaching materials. "It’s alright, Master." Liss carefully placed the precious Multi-phase Potion sample into a specially made protective box: "These potions are too valuable. I feel more at ease organizing them myself. Besides, it’s also part of learning, isn’t it?" Ron nodded gently, expressing his recognition of this capable assistant’s attitude. Although Liss’s Spiritual Talent was not outstanding, the talent and incredible diligence she showed in Magic Potion Making made her an indispensable member of the Elite Team. "How have your recent progress been?" Ron casually asked while putting his teaching materials into the Spatial Bag. As a Master, he was aware of each student’s situation, but personal interactions often brought more details. Liss’s face immediately lit up with a bright smile: "Thanks to your blessings! Since I adjusted the Spiritual Power cycle path according to your suggestion, my Meditation efficiency has improved a lot. Now I can maintain a deep meditational state for up to an hour every day!" She carefully stowed away the last instrument, her face brimming with uncontrollable joy: "Moreover, last week I successfully formulated the improved version of the ’Awakening Potion’ you taught. Its effect is stronger than the standard formula, with side effects reduced by more than half. Senior Herman says this level is already top-tier among Apprentices of the same period." Ron nodded, feeling somewhat gratified. Liss’s progress was indeed satisfying, even faster than his initial expectations. From being an ordinary Magic Potion Apprentice to now being able to independently formulate improved Magic Potions. This leap achieved in just a month was enough to prove her potential and efforts. "Keep up this state, and you will be one step closer to the goal of becoming a Professional Alchemist." Ron affirmed, while avoiding excessive praise to prevent complacency: "However, there is still room to improve on the stability of your Awakening Potion formulation, especially in high-temperature environments." "I noticed that too!" Liss promptly nodded, stopping her actions: "When the temperature exceeds 37 degrees, the effectiveness declines rapidly. I am trying to address this issue by adjusting the timing of adding ’Moonlight Stone Powder’." During their conversation, they had already packed up and walked out of the classroom. In the hallway, a few students who had not yet left stepped aside upon seeing Ron, with some even saluting respectfully. "Your prestige among students is growing higher and higher, Master." Once those students walked away, Liss whispered: "Everyone says that your class is one of the most popular teaching assistant courses at the Crystal Tower in the past decade." Ron smiled faintly, not reacting much to such evaluations. In his view, such superficial fame certainly helped establish a foothold within the School. But the truly important thing was the pure blessings accumulated through teaching, and the relationships built with all the talents.
