485: Zhenshan and Death Blade

"In a while, half of the adult giants will leave here, and that will be your chance to act.

Remember, the three of us will not act unless it's a critical moment, but if we do act, it means your team has already failed."

Gu Qinghan spoke seriously, looking at the Professionals who had already been divided into several small teams before him.

After observation, the giants over a hundred meters tall seemed to be the backbone of the giants, and were therefore referred to by them as 'Adult Giants'.

The "three of us" Gu Qinghan mentioned naturally referred to him, Wang Yan, and Lu Chengfeng.

After two days of rest, these two men had also fully recovered, without even leaving any lingering internal injuries.

Lu Chengfeng thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke to Gu Qinghan:

"Boss, I actually have a suggestion. I wonder if you'd like to hear it."

Gu Qinghan looked at him, signaling him to continue.

Lu Chengfeng cleared his throat, looked at the Professionals who had been divided into teams, and said to Gu Qinghan:

"Actually, it's just an idea; how to implement it specifically still depends on your thoughts, Boss.

Wang Yan's ability and mine are actually two extremes. I specialize in flexible offense, and Wang Yan specializes in stationary defense.

I was thinking that the two of us could continuously select suitable individuals from these Professionals and then conduct specialized training and coordination.

After all, the number of Clerics is still small. Shouldn't we make full use of the vast number of Professionals?"

After he finished speaking, he glanced nervously at Gu Qinghan, afraid that Gu Qinghan might be displeased.

But if given another choice, he would still propose this suggestion, because he felt there was a high probability that Gu Qinghan would not get angry.

Gu Qinghan was not an obstinate person, which was why Lu Chengfeng was willing to follow him.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Gu Qinghan stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before speaking again:

"That's a great idea. In fact, I obtained some defensive Pseudo-Holy Profession class change scrolls when killing some monsters earlier.

Now that I think about it, it seems I haven't used those scrolls yet..."

As he spoke, Gu Qinghan took out several scrolls, all of which were class change scrolls formed by merging fragments previously created by Gu Qingyuan.

Mountain Shaker Warriors, a type of Pseudo-Holy Profession that was relatively clumsy but had astonishing defense.

The few previous scrolls for this profession had already been given to suitable people, and they were currently staying in Whale Fall City as a means of defense.

He handed all these scrolls to Wang Yan and said to him:

"You will distribute these scrolls yourself later. Remember one thing: they must be given to trustworthy people.

If there aren't enough, you can write down the names first, and I will find a way later."

He then looked at Lu Chengfeng, thought for a moment, and said:

"I haven't found a Pseudo-Holy Profession that suits you yet, but you can start looking for suitable candidates.

Once I find a suitable Pseudo-Holy Profession class, you can lead a specialized special squad."

His gaze toward Lu Chengfeng held some admiration. He had to admit that the other party's suggestion was truly excellent.

While Clerics were powerful, they were not invincible. A certain number of Professionals cooperating could also contend against them.

What if they were a group of even stronger Pseudo-Holy Professions?

Gu Qinghan roughly guessed the answer, but seeing this scenario come to fruition would require considerable effort on his part.

Hearing Gu Qinghan's words, both Wang Yan and Lu Chengfeng solemnly accepted.

They understood how much trust Gu Qinghan had placed in them through these simple sentences.

Also excited were the Professionals who had already joined Whale Fall City and those who had just joined.

Having experienced the events of the past few days, they all understood the importance of strength even more clearly.

When they faced the threat of death, how could they not have wished to use their own strength to personally slay their enemies?

They had originally thought it was a luxury, but now they had a significant opportunity.

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, half of the adult giants left the village, signaling the start of their operation.

However, there were fewer than two hundred people here in total, and directly facing the remaining giants would definitely be suicide.

After all, the size of those giants was enormous; under a collective charge, everyone would be crushed into paste.

The Professionals crept out from different directions. They had long formulated a plan, intending to start hunting the isolated, non-adult giants first.

At first, one team made a mistake and directly lured out two giants, almost resulting in casualties.

But soon, another team quickly rushed over to save the situation, drawing away the other giant and preventing a major impact.

Although facing giants whose bodies resembled small mountains, the Professionals struggled immensely, yet not a single person was willing to retreat.

Compared to their strength, their character was actually what Gu Qinghan valued the most.

Everyone was doing their utmost to assist the team in inflicting damage on the giants.

Even though every encounter was fraught with danger, they all managed to endure it.

Wang Yan had been watching the fighting of these people, and after a while, he suddenly said to Gu Qinghan:

"I feel that next time we group them, we can slightly reduce the number of people per team.

After experiencing more high-pressure battles like this, these people will undergo a transformation."

His current mindset—that of desperately looking for any chance to counterattack in a hopeless situation—was forged during countless moments on the brink of death.

Gu Qinghan nodded, then suddenly said to the two of them:

"High-pressure battles are necessary, but there must also be corresponding benefits.

Whale Fall City does not keep idlers, but those who remain will be the elite of the elite.

The special teams that the two of you lead later must treat their members with the highest standards and treatment, understand?"

"Understood," the two replied in unison.

"Good. I believe you can do it.

However, since they are special teams, shouldn't they have a name?

Since you are the captains of these two teams, you should come up with the names."

Gu Qinghan's words made Wang Yan and Lu Chengfeng's eyes light up again, especially Lu Chengfeng, who almost burst out laughing.

Although he was now completely subservient to Gu Qinghan, his previous desire to establish his own force had always remained a regret.

If he could have a squad named by himself, it would somewhat make up for this regret.

"My squad will be called Mountain Suppressors."

Wang Yan quickly settled on a name and looked at Gu Qinghan with an inquiring gaze.

Gu Qinghan nodded, then shifted his gaze toward the excited Lu Chengfeng.

"I... I want to name my team Death Blade!

The meaning of this name is twofold: firstly, I want to become a blade for you, Boss; and secondly, I want the enemies to think of death when they see me!"

Lu Chengfeng was extremely agitated, the scars on his face slightly distorted by excitement.

Gu Qinghan still nodded. Although the name was a bit chuunibyou, he could accept it as long as it wasn't too outrageous.

After all, his initial thought was that he would be thankful as long as they didn't come up with a name like "The Team That Does Whatever You Say."

Wang Yan and Lu Chengfeng excitedly went to observe the Professionals' battle; they needed to select suitable people for their future teams.

Gu Qinghan, however, did not focus his attention there, but instead began recalling the information he had obtained in the previous few days.

"Cleric Alliance, Number One..."
