My Name Is Cao Benqi

"Hahaha, brother Cao Benqi, my name is Kailun. I am an Immortal spirit who achieved enlightenment through the Law of Wind. Welcome to the squad I lead. Before you arrived, there were already four others in our team, all of whom are World Lord combatants. It's a pity none of them were World Lord combatants right from the start like you. However, our squad's strength is extremely formidable. Let me introduce them to you..."

Qin Cang understood the importance of a disguise, so he had changed his external name to Cao Benqi, and all his past records were fully prepared. Demon Wing Venerable was quite reliable when it came to getting things done.

Although the real Cao Benqi had not yet been born, Qin Cang's goal was to take the place of Yan Emperor and make the name of the entire Yan God Clan resound throughout the universe. He absolutely could not allow a race guided by a God King to wither away in a secret realm.

For the current stage, using Yan Emperor's original name as his own could be considered a different kind of replacement!

Through the brief introduction from the Immortal spirit named Kailun, Qin Cang gained a general understanding of the World Lord squad he led.

Before long, Qin Cang and Kailun arrived at a dining table where four people were already seated. Clearly, they were all members of the squad, and without exception, all four were World Lord combatants.

After all, most Immortals possessed a sense of pride. For a World Lord to join, they generally had to be a World Lord combatant, or at the very least, possess strength approaching that level.

"Captain, we have a newcomer? You have to introduce us." A petite woman with transparent wings on her back laughed.

Qin Cang recognized that this woman likely hailed from the Butterfly Spirit Race, a branch of the Winged Human Race. She was extremely skilled in illusions. According to Kailun's introduction, she was the second-strongest fighter in the squad, and her illusions were so potent that they could briefly confuse even an Immortal spirit.

"Hahaha, everyone, welcome Cao Benqi to our squad! Our team has welcomed a new World Lord combatant, which is worth celebrating. Today's tab is on me!" Kailun waved his hand grandly, and everyone was naturally very happy.

"Many thanks, Captain! Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

With Kailun acting as the bridge, Qin Cang quickly began chatting with his new teammates and gained a clearer understanding of everyone's strength.

The strongest in the squad was undoubtedly Kailun, the Immortal spirit. He used a spear as his weapon and practiced the Law of Wind, granting him extreme speed, which was consistent with the characteristics of those who practiced the Law of Wind.

However, in Qin Cang's eyes, Kailun's strength was not particularly impressive; he could only be considered average among Immortal military lords, though it was sufficient for the outskirts of the Third Battlefield.

The Butterfly Spirit woman, named Lan Ying, had decent illusions capable of briefly confusing Immortals, but this was limited to those with weak willpower. She was very useful against certain enemies, but when facing those with strong willpower or life forms without souls, she would be nothing more than a sitting duck.

Of the other three, one was a tall youth wearing earth-yellow armor named Gu Shi. He gave Qin Cang a good impression, but unfortunately, he hailed from a God Kingdom and it was almost impossible for him to break through to become an Immortal.

Of course, Qin Cang would not reveal this information. After all, the human race strictly sealed such data. The potential of humans born in God Kingdoms and secret realms was almost locked; without a great opportunity, a human born in a God Kingdom would reach their limit at the World Lord stage, while those from secret realms would find their end upon becoming Immortals.

Naturally, special life forms within secret realms were exceptions; they were the darlings of the universe and could not be judged by the same standards.

As for the last two, one was a werewolf World Lord wearing red armor named Lie Feng. He carried a battle blade on his back, and his murderous aura was clearly intense; he was obviously the squad's primary close-combat fighter.

The final World Lord combatant was a beast tamer named Kuin!

One had to understand that the profession of a beast tamer was extremely rare. After all, the cost of raising a beast was immense, and one had to balance it with their own cultivation. How many resources could an ordinary World Lord spend on themselves, and beyond that, how much could they spare for a beast?

Furthermore, breaking through to become an Immortal depended on oneself, not the strength of a beast. This left Qin Cang very puzzled. Toiling away to raise a beast to Immortal strength while neglecting one's own cultivation, only to die of old age in the end—was that not putting the cart before the horse?

However, while he didn't understand it, he respected it; every profession existed for a reason.

According to Kailun, the beast raised by this tamer named Kuin was so strong that it could briefly contend with an Immortal. Almost all of Kuin's strength resided in this beast; his own strength had not reached the level of a World Lord combatant, but by relying on his powerful beast, he had earned the title of World Lord combatant.

An illusionist, a beast tamer, two frontline fighters, and an Immortal spirit—now with the addition of Qin Cang, this was the entire squad.

On the outskirts of the Third Battlefield, such a squad could not be called elite, but it certainly wasn't bad. At the very least, it was sufficient for hunting down weaker alien teams.

"Hahaha, Cao Benqi, what are you skilled in? Tell us about it. Being a World Lord combatant during your rookie period is extremely rare. If you didn't have a specialty, you wouldn't have earned that title," Kailun asked.

"That's right, Cao Benqi. Tell us what you're good at so we can divide our labor and formulate tactics in the future. That's the only way to bring out our strengths and defeat even more powerful enemies," Kuin added with equal curiosity.

"Since everyone is asking, I won't hide it. Captain, everyone, I have achieved significant accomplishments in the Law of Fire, and my claw techniques are quite decent. I am relatively skilled in close-quarters combat," Qin Cang laughed. He revealed a little bit of his hand, though he didn't mention being skilled in spear techniques or the like. His claw techniques were enough for now; even though he had only been practicing them for three years, Qin Cang was confident that he could kill an Immortal military lord with his claws alone. At this stage of the team, that was enough to handle most crises.

"You're skilled in claw techniques and close-quarters combat?" Lie Feng said happily. "I am also highly skilled in close-quarters combat. Cao Benqi, we must have a good spar when we have the time."

"Shut your mouth. He just arrived and you're already talking about sparring? You're just bullying him because he doesn't know the rules of the Outer-Region Battlefield. You've got nothing but fighting and Hunyuan Units in that head of yours," Lan Ying said, showing Lie Feng no mercy. Lie Feng didn't get angry, and the others nearby just smiled without saying a word, clearly accustomed to this dynamic.

"Good! Close-quarters combat, especially claw techniques—as far as I know, there aren't many experts who use them, but every one of them is terrifyingly strong. With Cao Benqi joining us, our squad is even more certain of succeeding in that matter. Hahaha, drink, drink..." Kailun was very happy and kept urging everyone to drink, especially after learning that Qin Cang was skilled in close-quarters combat.

"What matter are you more certain about? I don't understand what you're talking about," Qin Cang asked. It seemed this team was planning to pull off a big job, but hadn't done it yet because their strength was previously insufficient. Now that he had joined, it seemed their strength was finally enough, and they were preparing to make a move. He had just arrived at the Outer-Region Battlefield and was already getting into something this exciting!

I like it!

"Cao Benqi, don't worry. With you joining us, our success rate is over fifty percent. This is a big deal; if we pull it off, we could retire on the spot!" Kuin laughed, clearly very tempted by the prospect.

"Haha, Cao Benqi, don't worry. In a few days, we'll go out to hunt a few alien squads and test your strength along the way. Then you'll know what this big deal is. Drink, drink..." Kailun laughed.

Seeing that none of them were willing to say more, Qin Cang stopped asking. He would know what he needed to know when the time came.
