The master goes down the mountain, I have nine invincible masters!

Chapter 3908 A Combination of Kindness and Strictness!

"You're already this excited after killing just a few enemies? You all better behave yourselves!"

As the sound rang out, a faint light flickered at one of the exits, and a figure slowly emerged.

It was Ye Junlin!

"Tian... greets the Sect Master!"

Upon seeing Ye Junlin, the noisy juniors immediately became serious and quickly lowered their heads to call out.

They had grown up hearing legends about this Lord of Heaven, and deep down they felt a mixture of fear and respect for him.

Even though Ye Junlin stood there motionless, they felt as if a mountain-like aura was pressing down on them.

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

Even many of his former subordinates were slightly surprised when they saw this scene, and looked at Ye Junlin.

"Do you know why I made you stand guard outside?"

After Ye Junlin came out, his somewhat cold gaze swept over the younger generation.

All the younger generation shook their heads.

One of them bowed to Ye Junlin and said, "Please enlighten me, Sect Master."

I'm afraid you'll all die!

Ye Junlin said coldly.

The younger generation was taken aback at the same time.

Ye Junlin continued, "On the battlefield, things change in an instant. Judging from your previous performance—"

"You, you, you... and all of you."

Ye Junlin pointed at some of the younger members of the group and then said coldly, "How did you all perform just now?"

Upon hearing this, the younger generation all looked ashamed and lowered their heads deeply.

They were the younger generation who were vomiting and scared.

Previous performance...

It was a complete mess!

"You're not speaking, which clearly means you know you're not performing well. If we let you into the battlefield, by the time you finish vomiting, they'll have already chopped your heads off!"

Ye Junlin spoke without holding back: "Whether on the battlefield or on the path of cultivation, the most taboo thing is arrogance and conceit, and one must not be complacent because of a small victory!"

"Avoid arrogance and impetuosity—these four words are not just empty words!"

"You youngsters, you performed terribly, yet you're still smug after your victory!"

"How can someone with this kind of mentality go far?!"

These words filled the younger generation with remorse, causing them to bow their heads deeply and clench their fists tightly.

It wasn't an angry clenched fist.

Instead, she hated herself for being so useless, for performing so poorly in front of her idol, the Lord of Heaven!

Many of his former subordinates who were watching this scene nodded slightly upon hearing this.

They were there before, and they knew the cruelty of the battlefield all too well.

He had previously seen his offspring undergo a transformation and felt genuinely happy.

However, they overlooked the fact that they should not let their offspring become too complacent!

That would actually harm them.

"The sect leader is right. You juniors are far too arrogant. You've only won one battle, yet you're already so proud and conceited. If we fight again, you will pay the price for your arrogance!"

Xiahou Hao also walked over and reprimanded him in a cold tone.

The younger generation's mixed feelings of respect and fear towards Ye Junlin stemmed from the legends they had heard about him since childhood.

As for Xiahou Hao, they had personally experienced his majesty.

They dared not speak, their heads bowed low, their fists clenched tighter and tighter, and they secretly made vows in their hearts.

I absolutely must not make this mistake again!

This may seem like a small mistake, but it can be extremely easy to lose your life!

"but--"

At this moment, Ye Junlin suddenly changed the subject, a smile appearing on his lips as he looked at several of the younger generation.

"You guys did a great job. You got into the zone from the start and had a blast killing the enemy."

Upon hearing this, the younger generation all smiled.

It's not easy to get a compliment.

Then, Ye Junlin looked at the few people who had been reprimanded earlier: "Your performance was actually not bad."

Those people were stunned for a moment, their eyes showing surprise and disbelief.

Even though I'm in such a terrible state, the sect leader still praises me?

"Ordinary people, when they go to the battlefield for the first time, are so frightened by the bloodshed that they vomit, and some even defecate and urinate. Some are even so frightened by the bloody and cruel scene that they die on the spot."

Ye Junlin chuckled: "Although you were initially struggling, you adjusted your state very quickly afterward. In this respect, you have already surpassed most people in this world. What you lack is simply experience!"

He knew very well that he couldn't simply suppress these younger people.

Suppressing education is not a sustainable strategy.

Some people can rise up under pressure, while others will be driven to self-doubt and even become despondent.

You need to give someone a beating, then offer them a sweet treat.

A combination of kindness and severity.

This statement is not only about how to manage subordinates, but also about how to educate children.

Unbeknownst to him, Ye Junlin had come to regard these juniors as his own.

Although his age in this life is far less than that of those younger generations.

But that kind of heartfelt, soul-deep intimacy can never deceive you.

"Sect Master, we...we will definitely continue to work hard and strive to perform even better next time!"

"That's right, Sect Master, rest assured, we will never let you down!"

"Sect Master, we will certainly live up to your expectations!"

"..."

The younger generation felt both ashamed and grateful, because Ye Junlin had taught them and given them a way out, which made them feel even more that they could not let Ye Junlin down.

"Ah."

Seeing their attitude, Ye Junlin nodded in satisfaction.

These younger generation members are all promising talents.

"Besides what I've mentioned above, there's one more thing you must remember!"

Ye Junlin glanced around and said in a deep voice, "The reason I had you guard the outside this time, and the people who came out weren't particularly powerful—they were well within your capabilities—is to teach you a lesson—"

"Even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it must go all out!"

Upon hearing this, the younger generation once again straightened up and solemnly cupped their hands in a fist salute to Ye Junlin.

"Sect Master, we will remember this!"

"Keep the teachings in mind."

Everyone clasped their fists and bowed deeply.

Seeing their performance, their elders, Ye Junlin's former subordinates, smiled again.

Although the current ruler of the Heavenly Dao is very young, his experience is extremely profound.

They are far better at educating children than people like themselves.

It's truly a blessing to follow someone like that!

"Just remember that. There's another battle coming up, and you won't be able to just wait around like this anymore."

Ye Junlin's eyes suddenly turned cold: "The next battle will be yours, as you charge into the enemy camp head-on with me!"

"At that time, anyone who is even slightly unaccustomed to it may perish on the spot!"

"But at the same time, it will also have the best effect on you to hone your skills."

"The real transformation is surviving the battlefield!"

"Do you dare to join me in storming the enemy camp?!"
