With the assignments settled, the flying boat was nearing its destination.
Xiao Qiyue led Su Ye and the others to the Deployment Platform on the boat's flank. Once Su Baye gave the order, they would drop straight in.
The platform was vast, and members of several other teams had already gathered there.
One team stood out in particular.
Every member wore the standard Golden Light Armor of Fengying Country.

Niels's face darkened.

Niels turned to him and said through gritted teeth,
"Look how arrogant he is! He's only at the Transcendent Ninth Heaven. He got lucky
