Storm Squad

That evening, Wang Yi sat in a chair in his study. On the laptop screen opposite him was Lin Youyu, her long hair loose over her white pajamas.

Her jet-black, silky hair cascaded around her. Beneath her thin lace nightgown was a delicate figure and skin as white and smooth as milk.

The two were video chatting.

"So you're heading to the Wilderness Area tomorrow?" The maiden bit her rosy lip, worry surfacing in her bright, watery eyes. "I heard the Wilderness Area is full of monsters. It's very dangerous."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. The Limit Martial Arts School has arranged a formidable Martial Artist squad for me. We'll act together and only operate in ordinary towns near the Base City. We won't go anywhere especially dangerous," Wang Yi reassured her.

"I'll be in the Wilderness Area for half a month at most, then I'll be back."

In truth, even after returning, he would only stay in Jiangnan City for a few days before reporting to the Global Headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts School. He would not return again until the end of the year.

He would have very little time to spend with them.

But since he had already chosen this path, he could only steel his heart and keep walking forward.

Besides, Lin Youyu and the others had their own studies and lives. They all had to attend university, and over the next few years, they were destined to spend more time apart than together.

I still need to become stronger as soon as possible... Wang Yi felt an urgent pressure. Even if not for himself, he had to improve his strength quickly for Chen Yan and the others. If I could buy an Intelligent Fighter Jet, traveling back and forth would be much more convenient.

The next morning.

"Son, be careful out there."

"Take care of yourself."

Wang Yi packed his things and made all the necessary preparations. A perfectly fitted gray-black combat uniform made him look even more valiant and upright. Two war sabers were strapped to his back, and he carried a combat backpack. Fully armed, he exuded an air of sharp, grim competence.

Under his family's watchful eyes, he set off for Jiangnan Base City.

Jiangnan Base City, Limit Main Hall, first-floor lobby.

"Wang Yi, let me introduce you. This is the Storm Squad, one of Jiangnan Base City's most renowned elite Wargod-level Martial Artist squads." Zhuge Tao, one of the four giants of the Jiangnan General Association, smiled.

Across from Wang Yi sat five fully armed Martial Artists, all men, radiating an air of hardened competence.

"This is the captain, Jiang Feng."

The tallest among the five was a man in his thirties wearing a yellow combat uniform, with a scar on his left cheek. He smiled faintly.

"Wang Yi, I heard from Director Zhuge that you're a rare genius in Jiangnan Base City. Now that I've met you, you truly are an outstanding young talent. Looking at you makes me feel old."

"Hello, Brother Jiang," Wang Yi said politely. "I'm still young. There are many things I need to learn from all of you."

Seeing how humble and well-mannered Wang Yi was, the five members of the Storm Squad felt considerably more favorable toward him.

Originally, when the Jiangnan General Association assigned them this task, the Storm Squad's captain had been rather unwilling. He had seen many geniuses, and most were arrogant and unruly. They were difficult to discipline, too. He had no interest in taking on such a thankless, exhausting job as being a nanny.

Which Martial Artist who spent all year roaming the Wilderness Area had not licked blood from the edge of a blade and endured countless life-and-death battles? They were all full of fierceness. They might not be unyielding to the end, but if one wanted their sincere acknowledgment, status and influence alone were not enough.

Especially since he had heard that this time, the other party was a green kid fresh out of school.

But he could not easily refuse a mission from the Limit Main Hall, so in the end, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

But judging by Wang Yi's temperament now, he seemed quite easy to get along with.

After chatting with Wang Yi for a while longer, the members of the Storm Squad exchanged glances and secretly nodded to one another.

Seeing that it was about time, Zhuge Tao rose with a smile. "Gentlemen, Wang Yi will be in your care on this trip."

Captain Jiang Feng said solemnly, "Rest assured, Director Zhuge. This time, we're only going to a few Wilderness towns with low danger levels. As long as we don't encounter High-level Beast General level monsters or a large monster horde, there definitely won't be any problems."

Jiang Feng's squad was very powerful. Every member was at the Wargod level, and Captain Jiang Feng himself was a veteran Wargod-level Martial Artist who had long since made a name for himself. He had personally hunted High-level Beast General level monsters more than once and was also a well-known figure among the Martial Artists of Jiangnan Base City. His character was decent as well.

That was why Zhuge Tao had chosen the Storm Squad.

And Jiang Feng's squad had a very simple task: bringing along a newcomer.

That newcomer was undoubtedly Wang Yi.

Jiang Feng glanced at Wang Yi and thought to himself, For the General Association to hire our elite squad specifically to guide one newcomer, it seems this newcomer is highly valued by the Limit Main Hall.

The matter of Wang Yi being recommended by the Jiangnan General Association to the Elite Training Camp was known only to a few high-ranking officials and relevant personnel at headquarters. Even Jiang Feng and the others had no idea just how talented Wang Yi truly was.

Zhuge Tao had not told them either.

"Alright, it's about time. Let's set off." Jiang Feng checked his watch and stood up. "Wang Yi, is there anything else you need to prepare?" The other four also looked toward Wang Yi.

"No, Brother Jiang," Wang Yi said, rising as well.

"Good. Then let's go!" Jiang Feng paused. "From now on, you can just call me Captain."

"Yes, Captain," Wang Yi corrected himself.

Although Jiang Feng was not as strong as he was—Wang Yi's Mental Power could now easily kill even an elementary War God-level Martial Artist—Jiang Feng was kindly taking him out for experience. Wang Yi could not fail to appreciate the favor, so he had to be polite.

"Hmm!" Jiang Feng nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand. The five members of the Storm Squad, along with Wang Yi, gathered their gear and strode out of the Limit Main Hall in high spirits.

They boarded a military off-road vehicle bearing the emblem of the Limit Martial Arts School.

Inside the vehicle.

"Wang Yi, we'll drive to the train station shortly, then take the train out of the Base City to the military base in the Wilderness Area," Captain Jiang Feng explained. "It's your first time entering the Wilderness Area, so you must be careful. Not only of monsters, but also... people."

"Yes, I understand, Captain." Wang Yi's heart tightened.

The Wilderness Area was fraught with danger. Aside from monsters, there was also the malice that could come from humans at any time.

After all, there were no laws in the Wilderness Area to restrain anyone! Martial Artists killing one another there for all sorts of reasons was hardly uncommon, and everyone knew it.
