Military Squad 73843
In the air, Lin Xiao watched the Pingan District mansion getting further and further away from him; he never got to take that bath he wanted!
The Military Martial University had already sent someone, and he was officially embarking on a new journey!
The journey was silent.
"Student Lin Xiao, we are about to reach our destination!"
Lin Xiao opened his eyes. Had they arrived?
He looked into the distance, and what greeted his eyes was an extremely massive, fortress-like infrastructure.
It exuded an ancient aura, built from countless heavy metals, giving off a strong sense of security.
He walked in alone, holding a special letter of introduction.
"Oh, a new recruit!"
The speaker was an old soldier with several scars on his arm and one blind eye, yet his face showed no signs of pain. Instead, he looked at Lin Xiao with interest.
"Counting the time, the College Entrance Examination should be over; he must be with the previous batch!"
These old soldiers had been here for many years and knew the ropes well, guessing the reason immediately.
Lin Xiao walked among them, clearly feeling a faint, terrifying Evil Qi lingering in the air.
Was this their welcome ceremony?
Lin Xiao's body unconsciously emitted a faint bronze-golden glow, and a powerful pressure directly suppressed the Evil Qi.
"Oh? He's got something!"
Most of the old soldiers nodded slightly at the sight, then continued with their work as if nothing had happened.
Lin Xiao continued forward, arriving at the entrance of a large hall.
In the center of the hall, several youths just like him were already standing, some of them looking a bit nervous.
Clearly, the oppressive and tense atmosphere here made them uncomfortable.
"Isn't that Lin Xiao? I didn't expect him to choose Military Martial University too!"
Someone recognized Lin Xiao, feeling a slight excitement.
After the National College Entrance Examination, Lin Xiao's popularity was very high; almost everyone in their cohort knew him.
Lin Xiao quietly walked forward and stood in the first row. The others, seeing this, subtly moved back a bit, making way for the big shot!
Young men arrived one after another; most of them had a determined look in their eyes, likely already aware of their future fate.
Suddenly,
Lin Xiao's eyes flickered; someone was coming!
Several people in military uniforms walked towards them.
The leader was a man with a square face, his expression serious, looking at everyone with inherent authority.
"Letter of introduction?"
Everyone took out an envelope, and Lin Xiao also handed over his special letter of introduction.
"You all pick your people!"
Lin Xiao was still confused when he suddenly heard his name. He quickly looked over and saw someone on the stage pointing at him, signaling him to follow!
"Lin Xiao, sixteen years old, Fourth-tier Late Stage Peak? Dual SSS-rank Ability talent?!"
The person walked ahead, looking at the information in his hand, and couldn't help but turn to look at Lin Xiao, especially when he saw Dual SSS-rank Ability.
"I didn't expect to pick such a peerless Genius!" He smiled, unconcerned.
"You're Lin Xiao, right? I'll give you a brief introduction. This is the Southern Battlefield. My name is Xuan Yu, captain of Military Martial 73843 Squad! I will also be your captain for a period of time. Welcome to Military Martial 73843 Squad!"
"Military Martial 73843 Squad?"
"That's right. Every new recruit will be randomly assigned to a squad. Of course, if your strength becomes strong enough in the near future, you can apply for a new squad number yourself."
Xuan Yu led Lin Xiao to a camp.
"Captain, another new recruit?"
"Looks like a pure greenhorn. How strong is he? Why don't I test him first?"
Inside the camp sat several old soldiers, their bodies exuding a strong Evil Qi, having seen many battles and killed many enemies!
"Listen to me, everyone!"
"This is Lin Xiao. He will be our new member of Military Martial 73843 from now on! Lin Xiao, say hello to everyone!"
After an introduction,
Lin Xiao and the others made simple contact. This squad, besides Captain Xuan Yu, had a total of seven members.
The overall strength of the squad was not weak!
Captain Xuan Yu had the highest cultivation, reaching Fifth-tier Late Stage Peak, while the other teammates were generally in Fifth-tier Middle Stage.
"Kid, I didn't expect you to be so young yet so strong!"
This person, Nie Yang, an A-rank Ability Awakened Ones, had spent a considerable amount of time on this battlefield. He served as the intelligence officer in this team!
This was related to his Awakening talent.
"Alright! Everyone's familiar now. We just received an A-rank mission. Everyone, prepare immediately. This mission is quite difficult!"
Captain Xuan Yu immediately became serious.
"Yes!"
The squad members moved with extreme skill. In just a moment, everyone was ready to go!
"Lin Xiao, since you're new, you'll observe this mission throughout. Remember one thing: anything can happen on the battlefield, so you must protect your own safety as much as possible!"
After Xuan Yu finished speaking to Lin Xiao, he immediately waved his hand, and Military Martial 73843 Squad set off!
Along the way, Lin Xiao followed closely, his pace unhurried. He had no idea what this mission was about or what the target was!
The squad, led by Xuan Yu, arrived at a relatively secluded location.
The Captain gathered everyone around.
"Now I will inform you all of the objective for this operation!"
This was their squad's tradition; everything would be announced at the last minute to ensure foolproof execution!
"This mission is for a miniature mine. According to intelligence, there are only a small number of Azure-Winged Feather Clan guarding the site. We need to kill all the Azure-Winged Feather Clan and excavate the mine!"
"Azure-Winged Feather Clan?"
Lin Xiao frowned. What was that? A mutated beast?
Xuan Yu didn't explain much. He looked at Nie Yang, who immediately nodded and began to meditate on the spot!
A very subtle fluctuation emanated from the air. Under the powerful mental perception, Lin Xiao immediately sensed that this mysterious fluctuation was coming from Nie Yang, which was very surprising!
"Captain! There are a total of twenty-three Azure-Winged Feather Clan. The highest cultivation among them is a Fifth-tier Late Stage individual; the others are generally in Fifth-tier Early Stage!"
"Hmm, are there any other hidden enemies?"
"There are no traces of other enemies nearby!"
It was as the mission intelligence said, but it was a tough nut to crack!
But Xuan Yu was prepared; he took out a set of Formation Plates from his sleeve.
"Is this a Sky-Sealing Formation?"
A teammate exclaimed. This was a Formation, and it was quite valuable!
Xuan Yu looked at everyone: "The Azure-Winged Feather Clan's advantage is in the air. This Sky-Sealing Formation can firmly suppress them. At that time, I will handle the Fifth-tier Late Stage one, and you all deal with the rest. Any questions?"
"We will complete the mission!"
"Lin Xiao, you stay here and keep an eye on the surroundings at all times. If anything unexpected happens, notify us immediately!"
Lin Xiao nodded helplessly. He really wanted to say, "Actually, my strength isn't weak!"
Nie Yang walked up and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, next mission you won't even be able to stay behind!"
Perhaps this was a form of protection for new recruits!
"Everyone! Move out!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately rushed towards a small mineral vein not far away.
Captain Xuan Yu took the lead, arriving at the battlefield first. Without a word, he directly threw out the Sky-Sealing Formation Plate.
A mysterious Formation pattern enveloped the area. The Azure-Winged Feather Clan, who were initially soaring in the air, all fell to the ground, their leader's face filled with shock.
"Not good, it's humans! Kill them!"
They struggled desperately, trying to fly again. This was their Domain, but there was an inexplicable suppressive force here, preventing them from taking flight!
"Brothers, kill!"
Xuan Yu erupted with a powerful Special Ability, directly attacking the only Fifth-tier Late Stage Azure-Winged Feather Clan.
The remaining people each engaged two to three Azure-Winged Feather Clan in a fierce battle. Without their advantage, the Azure-Winged Feather Clan couldn't display much of their strength.
Not far away, Lin Xiao was carefully surveying the surroundings. His gaze swept over the Azure-Winged Feather Clan.
Are these mutated beasts?
In the fierce battle, every member of the Military Martial squad gave their all. On the battlefield, an accident could happen at any second, and they dared not delay!
At this moment, several Azure-Winged Feather Clan had already been killed, and this sight stimulated their leader!
A powerful cry echoed across the land, filled with endless anger and sorrow.
"Not good, he's calling for help! Everyone, finish this quickly!"
Xuan Yu inwardly thought, "Not good." He erupted with full power. If they dragged it out until the enemy's reinforcements arrived, their entire squad could even be in danger!
Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly at this moment; he was ready to act!
"Lin Xiao, keep an eye on the surroundings! Report any movement immediately!"
Xuan Yu didn't have time to say more; he had to kill this scum as quickly as possible. Only then could they break the deadlock!
The other teammates were also pushing their limits, even resorting to exchanging injuries for injuries!
"Hold on! Our rescue is coming soon!"
The Fifth-tier Late Stage Azure-Winged Feather Clan was defending with all its might. It roared frantically, watching its clansmen fall one after another, its eyes filled with hatred. It had to kill all these damned humans here!
Just hold on a little longer!
Suddenly,
Lin Xiao's figure appeared in the middle of the battlefield.
"Lin Xiao, didn't I tell you to observe the surroundings?! Why are you here?!" Xuan Yu roared furiously. He hadn't killed the scum in front of him yet and was very anxious!
"Captain, their reinforcements seem to have arrived!"
Lin Xiao's gaze swept to the west. Under his powerful mental perception, he clearly detected a fluctuation rushing towards them, moving very fast!
"What?! How could they be so fast?!"
Hearing this, Xuan Yu's expression became extremely grim. Could this mission be a failure?
Damn it, he even used the Sky-Sealing Formation!
But, if they didn't retreat now... Didn't the intelligence say there were no other enemies nearby?
Helpless, he could only say to everyone, "Retreat!"
The teammates also showed unwillingness on their faces, but no one refuted. On the battlefield, a soldier's duty was to obey orders!
Just as everyone was preparing to withdraw from the battlefield, Lin Xiao suddenly spoke up.
"Captain, I think we still have a chance!"
"Lin Xiao, listen to the Captain, retreat!" Nie Yang quickly rushed forward, grabbing Lin Xiao's arm, ready to flee.
Disobeying orders on the battlefield was a very serious disciplinary violation. Even a new recruit would receive severe punishment!
Xuan Yu remained silent, clearly, his meaning was explicit: retreat! He didn't want to say it a second time!
"Boom!"
Lin Xiao suddenly erupted.
He instantly moved, appearing in front of the Fifth-tier Late Stage Azure-Winged Feather Clan before anyone could react, unleashing a heaven-shaking Fist Intent.
The powerful attack shook heaven and earth. The Azure-Winged Feather Clan had no way to dodge.
In its vision, it was as if God had descended to grant it death!
"Bang!"
The Azure-Winged Feather Clan, which had just been fiercely battling Xuan Yu, vanished just like that, leaving no bones behind!
This scene stunned everyone.
Xuan Yu even stopped his retreat, his eyes filled with an incredulous expression.
"Lin... Lin Xiao... you... you, you, you..."
Nie Yang covered his mouth, utterly stunned. Could he be hallucinating?
The other teammates also stood rooted to the spot; this scene was too shocking.
"Captain, why don't we try again!"
Lin Xiao retracted his fist. The Special Ability within him began to surge, and a powerful pressure radiated outwards, a pressure that made everyone tremble!
