Everyone wore different expressions, but they were all clear-headed people and knew full well how difficult it was to cultivate the Nine-layered Thunder Blade.

Moreover, Yang Wu had mastered the Nine-layered Thunder Blade before setting out. In other words, he had spent absolutely less than a month cultivating it—perhaps even less.

The veteran members of the Fire Hammer Squad felt as though their entire worldview had been shattered, each of them deeply shaken.

Their sense of superiority as "seniors" was instantly crushed by Yang Wu's potential.

Though they could not imagine just how high Yang Wu's comprehension was, they were all inferior to him in terms of talent.

So, with Yang Wu's talent, what level had he reached now?

"We really picked up a treasure, and not just an ordinary genius." It was only after more than ten seconds that Gao Feng spoke in shock, his tone brimming with disbelief.

The Fire Hammer Squad began discussing Yang Wu's future role in the team, and they immediately grew excited.

Clearly, with a genius—and a powerhouse who had already begun to grow—joining them, the entire Fire Hammer Squad would benefit.

Yet they also felt a faint concern... Yang Wu possessed such talent and comprehension that his future growth would undoubtedly be extremely rapid.

Perhaps before long, Yang Wu would surpass them... and might even enter the headquarters training camp.

While everyone was still stunned, Yang Wu had already quickly reached the back of a sedan overturned on the highway and silently looked toward the Unicorn Wild Boar ahead.

This Unicorn Wild Boar was covered in black fur, each strand like a black steel spike. Its dark gray horn that thrust toward the sky resembled a sharp blade!

Beneath the lingering rays of the evening sun, the horn reflected a chilling glint that made one's heart turn cold.

An ordinary Advanced Fighter would likely lose the will to fight upon encountering this Unicorn Wild Boar!

"The Unicorn Wild Boar is completely inferior to me. I'll end its life with one slash!"

After all, this was Yang Wu's first battle. He had to make it a splendid one and start with a victory.

"Boom..."

After discovering the watchful Yang Wu, the Unicorn Wild Boar suddenly charged toward him.

The Unicorn Wild Boar was enormous, like a tank speeding down the road, and it rammed straight toward Yang Wu's cover—the Dilapidated Sedan.

Yet as the Unicorn Wild Boar was about to crash into him, Yang Wu neither dodged nor retreated.

His terrifying strength, Blade Technique, and Movement Technique were the source of his confidence.

Just as the Unicorn Wild Boar came within range, the Tier 1 Blood Shadow Battle Blade in Yang Wu's hand flashed with cold light and slashed first toward the Unicorn Wild Boar's neck.

Supported by Yang Wu's overwhelmingly powerful Giant Strength, three violent, merciless, dazzling waves of Hidden Strength erupted from his waist and arms!

True Nine-layered Thunder Blade Second Layer, threefold power burst!

The Blood Shadow Battle Blade let out a shrill howl like ghosts weeping and wolves howling as its razor-sharp edge swept through the Unicorn Wild Boar's body as easily as lightning!

Clang!

Yang Wu calmly sheathed his blade and stood with his hands behind his back, not even glancing at the Unicorn Wild Boar still charging forward on momentum.

The charging Unicorn Wild Boar suddenly slowed to a stop. Then, without any warning, its massive head violently separated from its body!

Thud.

The boar's head rolled to the ground, while scalding blood gushed from its neck like a fountain.

"Freak!"

"Monster!"

The Wei Brothers each uttered one of those words.

"Unbelievable. Microscopic-level Movement Technique, Proficient-level Saber Technique?" Gao Feng was also full of disbelief.

Microscopic-level Movement Technique, Proficient-level Saber Technique?

The moment Gao Feng finished speaking, every team member froze.

"It can't be Microscopic-level Movement Technique and Proficient-level Saber Technique, right?" Chen Gu was equally incredulous.

The others were no better off, all of them wearing shocked expressions.

Every Warrior present understood the significance of Microscopic-level Movement Technique and Proficient-level Saber Technique.

After all, most of them were Warriors stuck at the Advanced Fighter level. How could they not understand their weight?

Countless Primary General-level Warriors had yet to attain Microscopic-level Movement Technique and Proficient-level Saber Technique.

Yet this genius, who had only become a Warrior a month ago, had already comprehended them?

Was he really a rookie Warrior?

In any case, every one of them highly approved of Yang Wu's performance thus far.

At that thought, the veteran members of the Fire Hammer Squad all revealed faint smiles.

As Veteran Warriors who had walked the line between life and death countless times, they all knew that some so-called geniuses did indeed possess excellent physical qualities.

But when some geniuses fought Monsters, they might not even be able to display half their strength—perhaps not even a tenth of it.

That was why Veteran Warriors like them, who had endured countless life-and-death battles, generally looked down on so-called geniuses.

Yet Yang Wu's first battle had been this outrageous. Clearly, Yang Wu's talent in combat was also exceptional.

"But who's going to teach him Blade Technique?" Wei Tie and Wei Qing wore helpless expressions.

The surrounding members of the Fire Hammer Squad exchanged glances and shook their heads as well.

Proficient-level Saber Technique was already a fairly high realm, at least far stronger than the Blade Technique of the Wei Brothers.

Yet among the veteran members of the entire team, only the Wei Brothers used sabers.

"That power!" Luo Feng seemed still caught up in Yang Wu's slash, and he could not help but be secretly astonished. Had Yang-ge been hiding his strength before?

He knew far more about Yang Wu's situation than most people, yet he had never expected Yang Wu's strength to have become so formidable.

While the other team members remained shocked, Yang Wu excitedly walked toward the dead Unicorn Wild Boar.

The Tier 1 Blood Shadow Battle Blade easily removed the horn along the Unicorn Wild Boar's head.

[You have carved off a Unicorn Wild Boar horn as loot. Perform Ten Thousand Times Amplification?]

The prompt appeared, but Yang Wu did not choose immediately. After all, everyone was watching.

The most valuable material on a Unicorn Wild Boar was this horn. If sold to the Limit Martial Hall, it would probably fetch around 10,000 yuan!

With Ten Thousand Times Amplification, that would become 100 million. One Slash 99999999—it was practically like playing on a Private Server.

Materials from Beast General-level Monsters were even more valuable. Five million was merely the Starting Price.

But for Yang Wu, the Starting Price would be 50 billion. Even a High Lord might not be worth that much.

Luo Feng and the others had still been stunned by Yang Wu's strength.

But when they saw Yang Wu cutting off the Unicorn Wild Boar's horn with the expression of a miser guarding his wealth, they were immediately speechless.

It was only 10,000 yuan?

Was that really necessary?!

"Yang Wu, don't treat that horn like some treasure. If you sell it to the Limit Martial Hall, it's only worth 10,000 yuan. You'll only get a few dozen Contribution Points." Gao Feng held his forehead and sighed.

"Even if you sell it to the Underground Alliance, it'll only fetch a little over 10,000."

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Haha, you all know that I spent my money on Pu'er Tea before. I've been short on money lately!" Yang Wu spoke utter nonsense with a straight face.

Not long afterward, Yang Wu and the others encountered another High Beast Soldier along the way. This time, Luo Feng took the field.

Luo Feng naturally performed very well too. His Microscopic-level Movement Technique and First Layer Thunder Blade also left the others greatly shocked.

Especially when they learned that Luo Feng had comprehended the First Layer Thunder Blade because of Yang Wu's guidance, they were stunned beyond measure.

After discovering Yang Wu and Luo Feng's strength, the Fire Hammer Squad clearly began treating the two of them as the future mainstays of the Fire Hammer Squad.
