"How's the fight going up there? Let me see!" Some instructors who had just been pushed to the back of the crowd were trying desperately to squeeze their way back in front of the screen.

Ever since the battle in the dormitory area began, the signal in the basement had been somewhat unstable.

The ceiling lights flickered as the ground shook violently overhead, and dust fell from the ceiling, coating the instructors' faces.

"Chief, is this really the kind of commotion someone at the Cup Realm can make?"

"What's Lin Qiye pulled out this time? Still, this rain of weapons looks more like an ability from Michael's Divine Ruins than summoning mushroom people."

"Should we move somewhere else? We're ten meters underground, but what if Wang Mian's blade goes astray, or Lin Qiye brings down a meteor or something—"

"Don't jinx it! I wouldn't put anything past that kid!" Instructor Hong hurriedly covered the mouth of the instructor who was frowning up at the ceiling.

"Good thing the chief called in the Masked Squad this time! Though I think even calling the Phoenix Squad over to deal with these freaks wouldn't be excessive."

Yuan Gang looked thoughtfully at the static-flecked screen.

Mysterious beings had been appearing in Daxia with increasing frequency in recent years. So many geniuses had emerged from a single new recruit training camp that he was personally delighted. Perhaps in a few years, the long-vacant fifth special squad would finally be formed, effectively easing the pressure on the current four.

The other recruits who possessed ultra-high-risk Forbidden Ruins, along with the young master of the Baili Family, had displayed terrifying strength, but it was still within his understanding.

Lin Qiye, however, truly baffled him.

Was Michael's Mortal Divine Realm really that absurd?

He hesitated for a moment, then picked up a radio and shouted into it, "Wang Mian, stop fighting! Now have all your squad members gang up on Lin Qiye. I want to see where his limit is! And whether that fellow Zhou Meng will come out again! If he does, get all the recruits somewhere safe immediately, then unleash your realms!"

The opportunity was too rare. He had to find out what Lin Qiye was really capable of.

This was for the recruits' training, but even more so for Daxia's future!

Wang Mian, who had been locked in combat with Lin Qiye, frowned. He immediately activated his Time Divine Ruins and put some distance between them.

Lin Qiye was momentarily taken aback. Puzzled and a little provocative, he asked Wang Mian, "Why'd you stop? Running out of steam? If you're tired, you can admit defeat and take off your mask and hand it over!"

Wang Mian shook his head. "Qiye, orders from above. Sorry about this!"

Just as Lin Qiye was wondering what he meant, he suddenly sensed different attacks closing in from all four directions.

A vortex carrying fragments of buildings, a giant hammer, an illusory figure behind him, a sudden increase in gravity, and a slight sluggishness in his own movements.

Holy shit, why are the other four suddenly coming after me? Weren't they being held off in different places?

"Hey! Someone hurry and save Qiye!" Baili Pangpang shouted anxiously. He had just been fighting Moon Ghost with various forbidden items, but Moon Ghost had vanished in an instant.

Shen Qingzhu also realized something was wrong.

"Fuck, we were careless! I thought tying these guys down would give Lin Qiye plenty of room to duel Wang Mian. Why have they suddenly started ganging up on Lin Qiye again?"

But by the time the recruits reacted, it was too late.

Attacks from five directions reached Lin Qiye in an instant.

Even with Starry Night Dancer enhancing him, he could not dodge every attack. The hammer struck him hard in the front, sending him flying more than ten meters into the rubble and kicking up a great cloud of dust.

"Captain, aren't we giving this kid too much credit? No matter how powerful his Divine Ruins ability is, he's only at the Cup Realm. Even though we've used up most of our mental power, I doubt anyone here could withstand a surprise attack from all five of us." Tianping slowly descended from the sky.

"Did Chief Yuan get tired of watching and want us to finish this quickly? Sigh, I wanted to chat with Mo Li a little longer." Rose sighed and looked at Mo Li, who was racing toward them.

Mature, commanding women were her favorite!

Seeing Lin Qiye sent flying, Shen Qingzhu's eyes dimmed at once.

It seemed there was no way to complete the task of removing a mask.

It was not that he had his eye on the reward of a year without training. He simply refused to accept what Yuan Gang had said, but now that there was no hope left, he could not help feeling regret.

But there was only one person on the field now who was staring fixedly at the rubble where Lin Qiye had landed, as though facing a formidable enemy.

"Don't let your guard down! Stay sharp! The battle's only just beginning! Everyone, release your realm restrictions! Bring out your full strength!" Wang Mian suddenly shouted.

"Whirlpool, get all the other recruits somewhere safe!"

Apart from Lin Qiye, he was the only God's Agent on the field, and he had a clearer sense of gods than anyone else present.

Wang Mian had clearly sensed Lin Qiye's original Cup Realm aura vanish from the rubble where he had fallen. In its place was another fellow with an immensely powerful aura!

Boundless Realm? Klein Realm? How could this be!

Just switching personalities could unleash such overwhelming pressure?

The other members of the Masked Squad also realized that something seemed wrong.

Even on some of their most dangerous missions, they had never seen their captain look as though he were facing such a formidable enemy.

They did not dare be careless. Everyone focused their minds and instantly released their realm restrictions!

The Masked Squad members' eyes flashed, and their entire bearing changed completely. Their vast River Realm and Sea Realm mental power swept across the entire training camp.

Now they, too, sensed the powerful pressure coming from the rubble. It was far above their realms!

Whirlpool immediately used his Forbidden Ruins ability to control a massive vortex. With Tianping's help, he transported all the recruits nearby, including Baili Pangpang, Shen Qingzhu, and the others, in one sweep to a corner of the camp.

This place would soon become an even more brutal battlefield than before!

Because they were about to face Lin Qiye's second personality, a fellow whose realm had reached Boundless, or even Klein!

"Huh? How did we get here? Where's Qiye?" Baili Pangpang asked anxiously.

"Fatty, didn't you feel it? Those Masked Squad guys just unleashed their realms! So that's the River Realm and Sea Realm? Just standing next to them made my legs shake." Shen Qingzhu's voice trembled with excitement.

"Where's Qiye? Let go of me! Let me help Qiye!" Cao Yuan, back in his normal state, was panting as he tried to rush back.

He had come to the new recruit training camp to find the person who could redeem him of his sins, and that person was Lin Qiye. Naturally, he wanted to leave a good impression on Lin Qiye.

"Are you going up there to get yourself killed? No matter how strong your Forbidden Ruins are, you're still at the Cup Realm. But the Masked Squad have unleashed their River and Sea Realms!" Mo Li grabbed the reckless fellow.

"But what about Qiye? Isn't Qiye at the Cup Realm too?" Cao Yuan challenged.

All the recruits fell silent in that instant.

That's right, isn't Qiye at the Cup Realm too? Why did the Masked Squad unleash their realms? Didn't they say they'd suppress themselves to the Cup Realm to compete with us?

"Come on! Let's get closer and take a look!"

At that moment, a figure rose from amid the dirt and bricks in the rubble, brushed the dust from his clothes, and gently shook his head.

"That hammer hit really was brutal!"

A strange smile suddenly appeared on "Lin Qiye's" lips.
