It was not just the other squad members—even Zhang Yi himself was stunned.

After all, Chen Jian had never told him exactly what level Xiao Yang's strength had reached.

He had originally thought Xiao Yang was, at most, an Advanced Warrior.

"A Psychic?"

"You're a Psychic?!"

Wang Jiabao asked in shock.

"Your strength has actually reached the Junior Warlord level?!"

Lü Hong, beside him, asked in equal astonishment.

Xiao Yang had no intention of hiding anything.

"That's right. My strength has already surpassed ten thousand kilograms."

"And I am indeed a Psychic."

Unlike Luo Feng in the original story, who did not know much about Psychics and only wanted to conceal his identity, Xiao Yang had no intention of hiding it.

He knew that without talent, it was simply impossible to become a Psychic.

Revealing his identity as a Psychic would instead earn him greater regard from others.

Psychics hunted monsters and made money much faster.

If Xiao Yang wanted to obtain the complete World-Destroying Secret Art as soon as possible, he had to use his Psychic abilities to make money faster.

Of course, the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall might send him to the Elite Training Camp when the time came.

Then he could sign a genius contract and obtain the complete World-Destroying Secret Art for free.

Xiao Yang did not mind that either.

After all, he could just grab the benefits and graduate at light speed.

After receiving Xiao Yang's confirmation, the Mad Wolf Squad members looked at him with burning eyes.

A Psychic!

That was incredibly rare on Earth!

And he was such a young Junior Warlord. That was terrifying as well.

Zhang Yi sighed with emotion.

"I never expected you to already possess such strength."

"No wonder Chen Jian had been acting so mysterious before."

"Since you possess this kind of strength, I think you can officially join our squad."

As he spoke, he turned to the other squad members and asked,

"What do you think?"

The others did not hesitate in the slightest.

How could they possibly refuse such a talented Psychic with limitless potential?

"No problem!"

"I agree!"

"Xiao Yang, welcome aboard!"

"He definitely qualifies!"

They all spoke up in turn.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi turned back to Xiao Yang again and said with a wide grin,

"Welcome to the Mad Wolf Squad."

Xiao Yang also smiled and said to them,

"I hope you'll all guide me from now on."

Before long, they packed up, ate together at the HR Mall, then took a vehicle out of the base city toward the military camp beyond the city.

After replenishing their supplies at the military camp, they waited until evening before leaving the camp and entering the Wilderness Area.

"Our destination this time is City 092."

"It's a small city."

"We originally planned to take you to a small county town first to see your strength."

"But now that we know you're a Junior Warlord and a Psychic, we don't plan to waste any time."

"There are fewer Beast Warlords in county towns, and the returns are low. We can't be bothered going there."

That afternoon, under the excuse of learning one another's combat styles, they had also taken the opportunity to assess Xiao Yang's strength.

After all, they could not simply believe whatever Xiao Yang said.

The Wilderness Area was no place for jokes.

During their sparring session, Xiao Yang had shocked them once again.

Especially Lü Hong.

Since Xiao Yang was most skilled with a spear, they had intended to have Lü Hong offer him some pointers.

But instead, they discovered that Xiao Yang had already mastered the World-Destroying, First Layer!

One had to know that even Lü Hong did not know World Annihilation!

A 1.8-fold force output was already considered quite impressive within the squad.

They also came to understand that Xiao Yang was an all-around genius.

It was precisely because they knew Xiao Yang's strength that they decided to head directly to City 092.

As they moved swiftly along the highway, they introduced Xiao Yang to the situation in City 092.

The Mad Wolf Squad spent most of its time operating in City 092, so they were quite familiar with the place.

As Xiao Yang listened to them, he curiously surveyed the surroundings.

Since transmigrating here, this was his first time entering the Wilderness Area.

The old highway had long since fallen into ruin.

In some places, the ground was even split by long cracks.

Abandoned cars were scattered everywhere along the highway.

From time to time, they could see various darkened bloodstains.

The weeds on both sides of the highway had even grown onto the road in places.

With his powerful hearing, Xiao Yang could occasionally hear sounds coming from afar.

Along the way, they encountered some Beast Soldiers.

But with their strength, they basically killed them in a single strike without any effort at all.

In this way, they traveled along the highway for three full days before finally catching sight of City 092.

From a distance, Xiao Yang could already see the high-rise buildings ahead.

That was the destination of their journey.

"Come on, let's go to the usual place."

As he spoke, Zhang Yi led everyone to the outskirts of City 092.

After entering the city, even though they were only in the suburbs, everyone began to act more cautiously.

Even when they encountered Beast Soldiers, they tried their best not to let them make the slightest sound.

They basically had Chen Mingxiang kill them with his staff.

This prevented the scent of blood from the Beast Soldiers' deaths from being detected by other monsters.

Once those wild beasts grew and turned into monsters, their sense of smell became greatly enhanced, allowing them to detect blood from far away.

Before long, they reached the roof of a high-rise building in the suburbs and began observing the area.

"Rest for a while, then let's find a Junior Beast Warlord to warm up with first."

Zhang Yi looked at the group as he spoke.

Neither Xiao Yang nor the other squad members objected.

Although Xiao Yang was quite powerful and they had come directly to City 092,

this was still his first time in the Wilderness Area.

So he still needed to adapt in the suburbs first.

Otherwise, there were Lord-level Monsters within City 092!

Given Xiao Yang's strength, a Junior Beast Warlord was a suitable opponent for him.

With the Mad Wolf Squad's strength, a Junior Beast Warlord could not stir up the slightest trouble.

Unlike the Beast Warlords in county towns.

The Beast Warlords in small county towns were always followed by large numbers of Beast Soldiers.

But in big cities, quite a few Beast Warlords roamed alone, especially Junior Beast Warlords.

These solitary Junior Beast Warlords were perfect for Xiao Yang to use to get accustomed to the Wilderness Area.

Zhang Yi had mentioned this to Xiao Yang on the way here.

Xiao Yang had not refused.

He was preparing to find a Beast Warlord to test his skills against first.

After all, he had barely fought monsters before.

Those Beast Soldiers were too weak. Xiao Yang could kill them instantly, so they offered no training value whatsoever.

On the rooftop, each of them held binoculars and watched a different direction.

The building they were on could be considered the tallest in the suburbs.

From there, they could see most of what was happening within several kilometers.

Before long, Wu Hao was the first to spot something.

"I see a lone Tiger Mastiff. It should be a Junior Beast Warlord!"
