Chapter 161 has been approved. Please check it again in the morning.
"And the list of those who went to the Weird Island..."
These words instantly created an extremely tense atmosphere.
Both the Iron Wall Squad and the Shadow Trio involuntarily sat up straight.
Because for them, this is absolutely the most important thing right now!
Especially Shadow, who maintained an icy expression but whose eyes were full of impatience.
Deep within that sealed memory from the final trial, though she couldn't recall the Dragon God's face.
But she would never forget the Dragon God's soul-stirring words.
That was her only hope of survival!
She must go to the Weird Island!
But...
The current Sharp Blade Squad is a defunct force that exists in name only.
By convention, such a team would never be selected to carry out this kind of mission!
"Chief, I..."
Shadow was eager to volunteer for the fight.
However, Wu Chunlan had already See Through her thoughts and interrupted her.
"Don't rush, let Chief Wan read out the central government's transfer order first."
Wan Changzheng, standing to the side, looked solemn and picked up a document stamped with a top-secret red seal from the table.
"First, there's the punishment and commendation for the Sharp Blade Squad."
"Liu Ruyan, the former captain of the Sharp Blade Squad."
"During this trial, dereliction of duty, careless command, and acting arbitrarily indirectly led to the sacrifice of two team members, Steel Ox and Liu Feng!"
"Although they made timely adjustments at the last minute, they still managed to win the championship!"
"But as the team leader, he failed to fulfill his responsibilities of protecting his teammates and overseeing the overall situation!"
"As decided by the Central Committee, rewards and punishments will be clearly distinguished!"
"Effective immediately, Liu Ruyan is removed from her position as captain of the Sharp Blade Squad! She is demoted to a regular member!"
"In recognition of his participation in the defeat of the S-class BOSS, he is awarded two S-class equipment scrolls!"
"You can take this scroll to the Central Base's Supreme Treasury and choose any S-class equipment!"
Upon hearing the verdict, everyone gasped in shock.
Especially Luo Kun, who originally harbored a great deal of Wrath towards Liu Ruyan.
But upon hearing about this severe punishment of being stripped of all his privileges, the anger in my heart instantly vanished.
Being demoted from the position of team leader in public is an extremely shameful stain!
Liu Ruyan sat in her seat, her face alternating between pale and flushed.
She bit her lower lip, closed her eyes, and breathed heavily for a few moments.
Given her arrogant nature, she would have overturned the table long ago if it were any other time.
But at that moment, she held back.
After all, respect for the dead is paramount, and military orders are absolute.
Not to mention...
Those are two S-class equipment scrolls that can be freely selected from the Central Treasury!
This was actually a huge profit for us!
After handing the equipment scroll to Liu Ruyan, Wan Changzheng turned his gaze to Luo Kun and continued reading it aloud.
"Luo Kun, former vice-captain of the Sharp Blade Squad!"
"Performed exceptionally well in the trials, demonstrating accurate combat judgment."
However, due to a lack of decisiveness in action!
"Failure to take timely and forceful measures to stop Captain Liu Ruyan's erroneous command."
"Same principle of clear rewards and punishments!"
Effective immediately, Luo Kun is being transferred from the Sharp Blade Squad and officially appointed as the new captain of the Iron Wall Squad!
"And reward two S-class equipment scrolls!"
"Holy crap?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned!
Xin An, the current captain of the Iron Wall Squad, was completely petrified on the spot.
Sitting next to him, Hu Xiaoxiao joked in a low voice.
"Hey, Captain, you're laid off! You've lost your job!"
Luo Kun stood up, looking completely bewildered, and took the equipment scroll.
He scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed.
He always thought the Iron Wall Squad was pretty good; the members were all sensible and spoke nicely.
But he never expected that he would actually steal Xin An's job!
I can't accept this!
On the other side, Zhao Yan patted Xin An on the shoulder with a smile and frantically winked at him.
"Silly boy, don't look so sad, listen up!"
Wan Changzheng continued reading.
"Shadow, a member of the Sharp Blade Squad, performed almost perfectly in the trial; she was flawless!"
"Stop the argument between the captain and vice-captain immediately! Bring them back to the right path!"
However, due to his strong personal request, his position will remain unchanged, and he will retain his status as a member of the Sharp Blade Squad.
"With special approval from the Central Government, he is awarded two S-class equipment scrolls!"
"Next up are the transfer orders for the Iron Wall Squad and related personnel!"
"Xin An, the former captain of the Iron Wall Squad, has been transferred from the Iron Wall Squad effective immediately due to strategic deployment issues."
"Officially transferred to another unit, serving as the vice-captain of the [Sharp Blade Squad]!"
"Reward: One S-class Equipment Scroll!"
"Zhao Yan, an unofficial temporary team member!"
"He fought bravely and relentlessly during the trials, displaying exceptional talent! Coupled with his early..."
"His resume, which included serving as the deputy captain of the Sharp Blade Squad, was specially approved by the Central Committee..."
"Effective today, veteran Zhao Yan has officially rejoined the team!"
"Return to the Sharp Blade Squad and assume the role of Sharp Blade Squad new captain! Reward: One S-class equipment scroll!"
"Meanwhile, Zhao Yan will lead the newly reorganized Sharp Blade Squad!"
"Representing China, I will undertake a top-secret mission to [Weird Island]!"
"The remaining members of the Iron Wall Squad retain their original positions, and each receives one S-class equipment scroll! That concludes the announcement!"
"Clap clap clap clap!!!"
As Wan Changzheng closed the document, enthusiastic applause erupted!
Xin An and Zhao Yan, the two parties involved, were completely dumbfounded!
Especially Zhao Yan, the old man, was so excited that he was trembling all over.
He was a retired veteran, half of whom was already buried.
I never dreamed that I would ever return to the front lines in my lifetime, let alone become the captain of an elite squad!
The members of the Iron Wall Squad offered their heartfelt blessings.
Congratulations, Staff Officer Zhao! Congratulations, Deputy Squad Leader Xin, on your promotion!
It's important to know that the Sharp Blade Squad is widely recognized as the elite force in the entire army.
As long as he doesn't die, there's a very high chance he'll be able to join the Dragon Squad in the future!
This is truly a meteoric rise to power!
Luo Kun also clapped wildly in the crowd, his hands turning red from clapping.
The guilt he felt for taking someone else's spot vanished instantly; he was happier than if he had just gotten married!
"That was awesome!"
"I'll do anything as long as I'm not on the same team as that idiot Liu Ruyan again!"
"After the meeting, I must go to the logistics department and buy two 100,000-shot 'Big Red' slingshots!"
"Hang it up at the dormitory entrance to ward off bad luck!"
Luo Kun screamed wildly in his heart.
However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of promotion and salary increase...
Hu Xiaoxiao counted on her fingers, realized a problem, and shouted loudly.
"Wait! Chief! Something's not right!"
"Uncle Zhao Yan is the captain, Xin An is the vice-captain, plus Sister Shadow and Liu Ruyan..."
"This brand-new Sharp Blade Squad only has four people at most!"
Where did the fifth spot go?
Silence fell immediately after these words were spoken.
And what about the fifth person?
Just as everyone was puzzled, Wu Chunlan had been silent all along, suddenly smiled.
"Xiaoxiao's observation skills are still so sharp."
Wu Chunlan interlaced her fingers, her tone becoming serious.
"After this boss battle, Sky Curtain airdropped Scarecrow BOSS to the Eagle Country."
"The central Think Tank has reassessed the global situation and believes that the danger rating of [The Weird Island] must be significantly upgraded!"
Sending a young team is simply suicide.
"Therefore, the Central Committee has decided to add a special fifth member to the Sharp Blade Squad."
Do you remember the person you saw when you came in?
Wu Chunlan smiled slightly.
"Wh... what?!"
Boom!!!
The four members of the Sharp Blade Squad were filled with disbelief!
"Chief! You mean... Elder Yue Tian?! He's going to the Weird Island with us?!"
Xin An's voice was distorted.
Central veterans, top-tier combat force in China.
The Interrogator, Yue Tian, actually wants to join their team?!
At this moment, the one who was most affected was Liu Ruyan, who was sitting in the corner!
Her brain was racing, calculating the current ecosystem within the team.
Captain Zhao Yan, a highly respected and hardworking veteran, is someone you can't afford to mess with!
Vice Captain Xin An, a down-to-earth and hardworking up-and-coming commander, and Zhao Yan's confidant, is someone you don't want to mess with!
The members Shadow; they're veterans, not to be trifled with!
The fifth person is Yue Tian, Living Yama among the Central Elders!
Even more unapproachable!
In the end, Liu Ruyan discovered in horror...
I used to be high and mighty, giving orders!
In this brand new team, I've become the lowest-ranking member!
A complete and utter handyman!
"No!!!"
Liu Ruyan let out a heart-wrenching scream from the bottom of her heart!
And just then...
It was six o'clock, and the sound of the Sky Curtain began precisely on time.
[Long time no see, my fellow warriors struggling to survive!]

At this time, the Confucian Scholar Dojo was in ruins.
Jiangnan sat on a stone pillar at the highest point of the temple.
To be honest, this seems to be the first time he's been here since he transmigrated.
A few listened intently to the speech from the Sky Curtain.
Looking at the top-ranked data in the sky and the announcement, Jiangnan innocently stroked his chin.
"This piece of junk..."
"Why do I feel like there's a sarcastic remark about me between the lines?"
"Forget it, someone as kind and unassuming as me, it definitely isn't talking about me, it's probably just a coincidence."
Jiangnan shrugged, ignoring Sky Curtain's rebuke.
What he cares about more now is the reward being distributed.
"Buzz!"
Space torn apart!
A peerless spear, entirely dark red, with countless tiny black chains wrapped around its shaft.
It appeared before Jiangnan with an aura of killing intent.
Jiangnan's eyes lit up, and the moment he reached out and gripped the gun, a stream of information flooded his mind.
[Item]: Godslayer Spear
[Type]: Weird Artifact
[Level]: S-class
[Function - Burning Extinction]: Can burn souls as fuel to deal true damage to the target!
Ignore all physical defenses and destroy the opponent's body from the root!
Note: The standard numerical level of this Weird Artifact is S.
The final level and explosive power depend on the quantity and quality of the burned souls!
No upper limit!
[Information]: Weird Artifact created by a powerful human weapon-forging expert in ancient times in the Barbaric Realm.
[Comment from a master craftsman]: As long as you burn enough fuel and the fuel is powerful enough, even the highest god can be defeated!
I could stab you to death too! Hehehe!
Oh, by the way, just a friendly reminder!
I never said that...
I must burn my own soul!
Don't other people's souls burn brighter?!
