At last, after taking some time to look over his options, Lu Yuan chose a team!
"Fire Fox Team. Requirement: ice-type ability user. Contact: 186..."
It was the Fire Fox Team!
Their requirement was exactly something Lu Yuan could meet. The others either required a certain level of strength or a certain age; some even specified gender!
But...
Wasn't this requirement a little too simple?
Lu Yuan read it again and narrowed his eyes.
Ice-type ability user.
Did they really only require someone to awaken an ice-type ability?
"Whatever. I'll call them first and see what happens. At least I meet their requirements..."
With that in mind, Lu Yuan hurriedly took out his phone and called the number the Fire Fox Team had left in the team recruitment section.
Beep, beep, beep~
The call was answered quickly.
"Hello, who is this?"
A woman's voice came through the phone.
From the sound of it, she was probably a woman in her twenties.
"Hello, I'm Lu Yuan. I saw the information you posted in the team recruitment section. I awakened an ice-type ability, so I meet your requirements."
Lu Yuan replied.
"Little brother, you're in luck! Our team was just getting ready to enter the Underground World to hunt vicious beasts, and we're about to set out. I can't believe you called at just the right time!"
"We're at the Jiangzhan City Supernatural Ability Base, at (detailed location). Come on over!"
The woman on the other end replied.
"Okay."
Lu Yuan nodded, then hung up.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Jiangzhan City Supernatural Ability Base.
"Sister Zhou, does that mean we're getting a new team member? And a young little brother, at that?"
A tall, skinny young man asked, a hint of a smile on his lips.
"Mm. He's at the Jiangzhan City Supernatural Ability Base right now. I gave him our location, so he should be here soon!"
Zhou Wan, captain of the Fire Fox Team, nodded.
Then Zhou Wan added, "Don't say anything until everything's settled."
A few minutes later,
Lu Yuan found the Fire Fox Team's location according to Zhou Wan's directions.
Lu Yuan took a closer look.
The Fire Fox Team had four members: two men and two women.
"Lu Yuan, right?"
Lu Yuan nodded.
"You're the newcomer who wants to join our team? First, prove that you're an ice-type ability user."
Zhou Wan smiled slightly as she spoke.
"Will this do?"
Lu Yuan snapped his fingers. The next moment, a snowflake quietly appeared on his fingertip.
"That's plenty." Zhou Wan nodded, then said with a smile, "Little brother Lu Yuan, that means you're officially part of our team!"
Lu Yuan's eyes widened. "It's that simple? There aren't any other requirements? Like strength or anything..."
Zhou Wan said with exasperation, "Isn't being ice-type a requirement? It's a rare type. I've had this recruitment post up for two weeks, and you're the only person who's contacted us so far."
"As for strength, right now, we only need someone who's awakened an ice-type ability. When the time comes, you can just stay in the back and provide support. We only operate in the shallow regions, and Huo Huo and I can keep everyone safe without any problem!"
Lu Yuan looked puzzled. "Who's Huo Huo?"
"Huo Huo..." Zhou Wan smiled slightly and took a Containment Ball from her pocket. "She's my Companion Beast. I spent a whole year making my way in the otherworld before I could afford her!"
The Containment Ball opened, and a flash of light passed. A fox-like Companion Beast appeared before them.
Its entire body was covered in fur woven from pale yellow and fiery red.
Its eyes were a vivid crimson, as if flames were burning within them.
Its body was well-proportioned, with long limbs that gave it an elegant appearance.
It swished its tail lightly, and in the next moment, tiny sparks appeared at its tip!
No wonder they're called the Fire Fox Team. It's because of this fox.
Lu Yuan thought to himself.
"By the way, I'll be upfront with you. You're a newcomer, after all. If you find you can't adjust once we enter the otherworld, don't push yourself too hard. Just leave on your own."
Zhou Wan's playful expression disappeared, and she spoke seriously.
Lu Yuan nodded to show he understood.
Though, as a newcomer, he could certainly go in and get some experience,
he couldn't hold the others back too much, let alone become a burden to their team...
"Actually, you're pretty good. At least you're aware of that. A lot of newcomers show up without bringing anything at all."
Zhou Wan smiled as she spoke, her gaze unconsciously flicking over Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was wearing a combat suit with a weapon strapped to his back, which gave him a good first impression—not only to the staff member he'd met earlier, but to Zhou Wan as well.
Zhou Wan took a look, and sure enough, she noticed something!
She suddenly spotted a small circular emblem on Lu Yuan's combat suit.
The top half of the emblem bore a design, while six bold, free-flowing characters were printed across the bottom—
Shencheng Supernatural University.
Those six characters carried tremendous weight. Shencheng Supernatural University was one of the country's top universities, and it was right there in their own Guangkuo Province. Its reputation was second to none!
