157: Team Strength

"There are a total of three stages of missions in the Martial Saint Secret Realm. Only by completing the previous stage can you enter the next stage."

"The missions issued by the Martial Saint Secret Realm are different each time, and so far, the first stage mission has not been cleared."

"However, that was because the strength of the previous participants was too weak. Judging from the lineup participating in the Martial Saint Secret Realm this time, conquering the first stage mission is inevitable."

"The key is, who will be the first to complete the first stage mission!"

"The first person to complete the first stage mission will definitely receive a special reward. Perhaps only the first person to complete the first stage mission will be eligible to receive the final Martial Saint Secret Realm reward!"

Perhaps seeing the atmosphere inside the airship was too quiet.

The young man sitting to Li Ziyu's right, with short golden hair and a mixed-race appearance, was the first to speak about the information within the Martial Saint Secret Realm.

After speaking, without waiting for the others to object, he continued on his own:

"When we go in, we'll be a small team. While we have this free time, why don't we all introduce ourselves?"

"My name is Chen Xing, and I am a Level 5 Mental Power Master. However, the Mental Battle Skill I mainly cultivate is defensive, so I can act as the team's shield during missions."

After speaking, Chen Xing snapped his right hand in the air.

A small shield made of air appeared on his palm, and he looked at Li Ziyu with a smug expression:

"I can block the full-force attack of a Fifth-level Advanced Martial Artist at most."

Before coming in, he already knew the role he needed to play in the Martial Saint Secret Realm this time.

His main role was to assist Li Ziyu.

Although he was somewhat annoyed, he also knew that with his strength, the probability of him obtaining the Martial Saint Inheritance in the Martial Saint Secret Realm was close to zero.

So he accepted the task of being an assistant in exchange for benefits.

"Wei Jianguo, Fifth-level Advanced Fire Element Martial Artist."

"I'm good at using staff techniques. My combat power is decent, and I can serve as the team's assault expert."

Sitting diagonally opposite Li Ziyu was a young man dressed in camouflage combat fatigues.

He had a neatly buzzed haircut and a stern, resolute expression, instantly giving off a reliable and tough impression.

Wei Jianguo paused, then added:

"My combat power is roughly equivalent to a Fifth-level Peak Martial Artist."

"Whoa! Combat power comparable to a Fifth-level Peak Martial Artist, that's impressive, brother! As expected of a genius from the Southern Military Region's Morning Star Training Camp!"

Chen Xing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Wei Jianguo with surprise.

Li Ziyu also asked:

"Brother, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty-eight."

Wei Jianguo answered truthfully without hesitation.

"Twenty-eight... that's still very impressive."

Li Ziyu nodded.

At twenty-eight years old, he possessed strength comparable to a Fifth-level Peak Martial Artist. From Wei Jianguo's strength, he could roughly deduce the general level of the Military Region's Morning Star Training Camp.

Very strong.

Not at all inferior to the geniuses who graduated from the Four Famous Schools.

In fact, they were even a notch stronger than the geniuses from the Four Famous Schools.

One must know that Wang Xinyang, the top person at Kyoto Martial Arts University, had only just entered the realm of a Level 5 Martial Artist.

"It seems the military's power is much stronger than that of the Four Famous Schools."

"But that's right, after all, military personnel have to bear the responsibility of protecting the country and constantly fight fierce beasts on the front lines. It's normal for their strength to be greater than that of the academy faction."

Li Ziyu thought to himself.

However, the military's geniuses were still a bit behind Ji Wudi, who reached the Fifth-level Peak Martial Artist stage at twenty-three from Ji Dao Martial Hall.

"Tsk, no matter how strong he is, he can't compare to a monster like you who can defeat a Fifth-level Peak Martial Artist in your first year of university..."

The girl sitting directly opposite Li Ziyu muttered softly when she heard Li Ziyu's praise.

Seeing Li Ziyu looking at her, the girl's face couldn't help but flush, and she explained in a low voice:

"I didn't mean anything else, I was just marveling at Student Li Ziyu's strength and talent."

"I watched all of your matches in the National Youth Martial Arts University League."

As the girl said this, Chen Xing and Wei Jianguo also couldn't help but nod.

Indeed, Li Ziyu's talent was simply monstrous.

Although they were a bit displeased with this auxiliary mission.

They had to admit that if Li Ziyu continued to grow, in due time, Great Xia would likely gain another Level 8 Grandmaster.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Mei Wan'er, and I am the Young Commander of the Thunder God Battle Group.

Um... my martial artist strength is Fourth-level Advanced."

Fourth-level Advanced, Li Ziyu was slightly surprised after hearing the introduction.

Anyone chosen by Yu Ningmo to be assigned to this team was at least a Level 5 Martial Artist.

What was the deal with Mei Wan'er being a Fourth-level Advanced Martial Artist?

Could it be that Mei Wan'er was Principal Yu's relative?

Was Principal Yu putting Mei Wan'er with him in a team because she wanted him to take care of Mei Wan'er?

Li Ziyu carefully looked at Mei Wan'er's face, trying to find evidence that Mei Wan'er and Yu Ningmo were relatives.

Being stared at by such a handsome and imposing super genius like Li Ziyu.

Mei Wan'er felt her earlobes burning, and her self-introduction voice also lowered, her expression shy:

"Although my martial artist realm is low, I mainly specialize in using hot weapons."

"If I'm in a favorable terrain, I might even be able to heavily injure a Fifth-level Advanced Martial Artist."

After Mei Wan'er finished speaking, she quickly looked up at Li Ziyu's face, then her cheeks flushed again, and she quickly lowered her head.

At the same time, her petite body shrank back.

"Tsk tsk, being handsome really has its advantages."

Chen Xing looked at Mei Wan'er's shy appearance from the side, then glanced at Li Ziyu's face, his expression full of envy.

"It's rare for martial artists to use hot weapons."

Li Ziyu looked at the red sniper rifle quietly placed on the seat beside Mei Wan'er, which was even taller than Mei Wan'er herself, and nodded knowingly.

There were quite a few Level 1 and Level 2 Martial Artists who used hot weapons.

But for martial artists above Level 2, their full-speed running could exceed that of a high-speed car, making it almost impossible to hit them with ordinary hot weapons while they were moving.

However, since Mei Wan'er said she could snipe a Fifth-level Advanced Martial Artist, it seemed her sniping skills were indeed good.

Moreover, the muzzle of her sniper rifle was almost as big as a grenade launcher, clearly it had been modified.

Hot weapons had little effect on killing fierce beasts, but for martial artists, they were still a threat.

However, once a martial artist reached the Level 6 Martial Artist realm, they would comprehend True Intent.

They could constantly attach their vital energy and blood to the surface of their body, forming an indestructible protective shield.

At that point, they would basically not fear the lethality of hot weapons.

"Mei Wan'er, the Young Commander of the Thunder God Battle Group, I know you. I've seen your video online where you used a sniper rifle to intercept Gatling gun bullets."

"Your talent with hot weapons is very strong!"

Wei Jianguo, who had been silently standing with his arms crossed, looked up at the sniper rifle beside Mei Wan'er, his expression somewhat admiring as he spoke.

Although martial artists rarely used hot weapons now.

But as a military man, Wei Jianguo always held a special affection for hot weapons.

In the video, Mei Wan'er stood directly opposite a Gatling gun, holding a sniper rifle and using it to accurately shoot down Gatling bullets, which greatly shocked him.

"Student Li Ziyu, you don't need to introduce your strength. We all watched your matches in the National Youth Martial Arts University League."

"You should be the strongest among us!

However, our opponent this time is Liu Yang, a Level 6 Intermediate Martial Artist and a second-generation disciple of Ji Dao Martial Hall!"

"Level 6 Martial Artists have already mastered True Intent and can release their vital energy and blood to defend against enemies.

There is an insurmountable gap between Level 6 Martial Artists and us Level 5 Martial Artists!

But don't worry, no matter how strong the opponent is, we will assist you in completing the mission!"

Chen Xing was the first to speak.
