Phantom Squad

9:00 AM.

Having just seen off his eldest sister Yang Yun and her family, Yang Wu received a call from an unknown number; it turned out to be the delivery of the secret manual he had purchased on Extreme Home.

"Mr. Yang Wu, this is the secret manual you purchased on Extreme Home. You can open it using your fingerprint."

In an exquisite garden within Mingyue Residential Quarter, a delivery man handed a sealed alloy case to Yang Wu.

Yang Wu slid his finger across the sensor on the case.

With a 'beep', the alloy case opened smoothly, revealing a book about half a centimeter thick, along with several discs inside.

"Mr. Yang Wu, once you have confirmed everything is correct, please sign here!" The delivery man handed over a professional delivery note with a smile.

Yang Wu took the note, verified the information, and signed his name.

"Mr. Yang Wu, I believe you are already aware of the taboos regarding the purchase of secret manuals."

The delivery man smiled and said, "However, according to the rules, I must repeat them to you... The copyright of the manual belongs to its creator. The creator of World Destroyer is the world's number one powerhouse, Hong. The purchaser only has the right to study it, not the right to disseminate it. You must never privately copy or teach the contents of the manual. Once discovered, you will face joint pursuit by the two major martial arts halls, the HR Alliance, and the five great powers!"

"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded with a smile.

If not for this reason, he could have simply practiced the Blazing Spear Technique he had obtained in the simulator first.

After everything was settled, Yang Wu brought the manual home. Just as he was about to open it and try practicing, he suddenly received a call from Wu Tong, the chief instructor of Yangzhou City.

Wu Tong was also staying in Mingyue Residential Quarter at the moment; he had called because he wanted to chat with Yang Wu about something.

Yang Wu, of course, gladly agreed to go.

A few minutes later, Yang Wu walked into the Limits Pavilion. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Wu Tong already waiting there.

"Uncle Wu!" Yang Wu greeted him with a smile.

"Yang Wu!" Greeting him back with a smile, Wu Tong led Yang Wu into a reception room on the second floor of the Limits Pavilion.

After they were both seated, Wu Tong asked with a smile, "Yang Wu, I heard that Supervisor Zhuge intended to arrange for you to go to the global Basic Training Camp, but you refused?"

"Yes, Uncle Wu, is there a problem?" Yang Wu smiled.

Previously, Supervisor Zhuge's assistant had indeed called Yang Wu to ask if he was interested in going to the global Basic Training Camp, but Yang Wu had declined.

For Yang Wu, who possessed a simulator, the Basic Training Camp would not be of much help.

"Yang Wu, according to Supervisor Zhuge's instructions, I am supposed to arrange a rather formidable martial arts squad for you. Do you have any squads you are interested in joining?" Wu Tong asked with a smile.

If it were an ordinary genius, Wu Tong could have directly contacted a War General Level squad, because for any newcomer, no matter how talented, they would always be a bit of a burden to a squad at the beginning.

But Yang Wu was different!

Wu Tong now knew Yang Wu's full strength from Zhuge Tao: a physical fitness at the low-level War General Level and specialized-level spear techniques. Strictly speaking, his strength already exceeded that of Wu Tong, so the squad he joined needed to be stronger.

Given Yang Wu's current strength, Wu Tong definitely had to discuss it with him in advance; otherwise, it would be bad if he ended up doing more harm than good.

"Not yet!" Yang Wu shook his head and said, "Uncle Wu, most of the friends I know, even those who are martial artists, are mostly Warrior Level martial artists who only passed the Quasi-Martial Artist assessment a few years ago. Such strength is a bit too low for me. Among the War General Level martial artists of our Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Yangzhou City, there is only you, Uncle Kong, and Brother Chen. I was just planning to ask you all for help!"

In fact, Yang Wu had originally intended to try joining the Fire Hammer Squad with Luo Feng, but he later abandoned that idea.

For one, the strength of the Fire Hammer Squad was already a bit low for Yang Wu; even the captain of the Fire Hammer Squad, Gao Feng, was only about as strong as Yang Wu.

Secondly, not long after Luo Feng joined the Fire Hammer Squad, he went to the Elite Training Camp, and the Fire Hammer Squad would then face the risk of disbanding.

Therefore, Yang Wu changed his mind and planned to find a stronger squad to join.

"Then what kind of martial arts squad do you intend to join?" Wu Tong asked with a smile.

"The stronger, the better, of course!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "Uncle Wu, you know my strength. If you have any squads you are familiar with, you can introduce one to me!"

Hearing Yang Wu's words, Wu Tong pondered for a moment and said, "Yang Wu, I was originally going to help you contact the Flying Eagle Squad where Kong Quan is. The Flying Eagle Squad has three War General Level martial artists and is quite famous throughout the Jiangnan Base City. But since you intend to join a powerful squad, I do have a better one to recommend to you, though I'm not sure if you'll be able to get in."

"Uncle Wu, which one are you talking about?" Yang Wu asked with anticipation.

"The Phantom Squad!" Wu Tong said with a complex expression.

"The Phantom Squad?" Yang Wu asked in confusion. He had just become a martial artist and did not know much about the squads in Jiangnan Base City. Even the Fire Hammer Squad was only familiar to him because of the original story.

"Yang Wu!" Wu Tong said with a hint of regret, "The strength of the Phantom Squad is enough to rank in the top three even in the entire Jiangnan Base City! I can try to help you contact them and give you a chance to join, but it depends on whether you can seize it!"

"Rank in the top three in the entire Jiangnan Base City?" Yang Wu was tempted. If he joined such a squad, it would definitely be a great help to the improvement of his strength.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu!" Yang Wu thanked him while logging into Extreme Home to look up information about the Phantom Squad.

He didn't know until he checked, but he was shocked once he did.

This Phantom Squad was one of the top-tier War General Level elite squads in Jiangnan Base City. The team had five members in total, all of whom were War General Level martial artists. Among them, two were high-level War Generals, and three were mid-level War Generals.

Those were high-level War Generals!

One had to know that even the supervisor of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Jiangnan Base City, Zhuge Tao, only possessed the strength of a high-level War General. For a single squad to have two supervisor-level experts—how terrifying was that?

"How does it look?" Wu Tong said with a smile from the side, "I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

"Uncle Wu!" Yang Wu was a bit puzzled now: "How are you..."

Logically speaking, with Wu Tong's strength, it was unlikely he would have any connection with the Phantom Squad, let alone be able to give Yang Wu a chance to join them.

"Haha... I know what you kid want to say!" Wu Tong laughed, his expression both proud and dejected.

"Your Uncle Wu here was once a member of the Phantom Squad!"
