And it's the very best of the best!
Actually, he had been spying on the screen the whole time, and he also saw the word "weak" mentioned by one of the netizens.
To be honest, he was indeed very angry and upset when he first saw it.
But he had to admit that he was indeed very weak when facing Jiang Fan, especially when facing Jiang Fan who had summoned the Twenty-Three Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros.
Now, seeing Jiang Fan accept the challenge, he was even more terrified.
Because deep down, he firmly believed that even if Jiang Fan didn't summon the Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros, he would still be no match for him.
Especially something like a Life-and-Death Arena...
The thought of Jin Yi's fate made Shan Taixiao shudder uncontrollably.
The more I think about it, the more frightened I become... The more I think about it, the more I regret it.
In any case, I should try not to go back to school in the future.
The scene changes.
The taxi stopped on the road in front of the Mercenary Guild.
As soon as Jiang Fan entered the hall, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
The first to come up and greet us were a few members of the Shattered Star Squad, with whom we had collaborated several times before.
" Tang Fan, it's been a long time. Why haven't I seen you on missions lately?" asked Wang Xuan, the captain of the Shattered Star Squad.
As a temporary member of the Shattered Star Squad, Jiang Fan was not required to accompany the team on every mission, unlike the regular members.
"I have some things to take care of," Jiang Fan replied.
"So, you're here today because you're planning to go on another mission with us?"
No sooner had Wang Xuan finished asking than another voice came from behind him, before Jiang Fan could reply.
" Tang Fan is with us today, and he will be with us from now on."
The unusually familiar voice drew the attention of Wang Xuan and the others.
Upon seeing Wei Cangyue's familiar face, a look of shock and subtle surprise appeared on his face.
When Wei Cangyue first met Tang Fan, he tried to win him over, but Wei Cangyue tried to persuade him, he didn't persist.
It's not that Wei Cangyue doesn't value Tang Fan; those who know, know. It's just that Jiang Fan's Martial Artist strength is too low, while the Sharp Edge Squad led by Wei Cangyue is Divine Wind Camp squad, with an average strength of over the Fourth Rank Middle Stage.
Wei Cangyue just said that Tang Fan has joined the Sharp Edge Squad starting today. Is that true?
Is Tang Fan only at the Middle-Stage Second Rank?
I'd given up trying to persuade them, so why did they suddenly join?
Or was Wei Cangyue just joking with them?
" Captain Wei! You're not kidding, are you? He's only at the Middle-Stage Second Rank, and you want him to join us?" One of the gray-robed men carrying a bow and arrows in the Sharp Edge Squad shouted out.
As the designated archer of the Sharp Edge Squad, A San may not be particularly talented in archery, but he works exceptionally hard because he loves it, and he doesn't hold the team back too much.
When Wei Cangyue last met Tang Fan, he took the initiative to invite him out, which made him feel gloomy and resentful towards Jiang Fan.
However, since Tang Fan's strength was only at the Middle-Stage Second Rank, he didn't pose too much of a threat to him.
But less than a month later, the Captain Wei said they had already let Tang Fan join, which he found hard to accept.
"How could I joke about something like this?" Wei Cangyue said, wrapping his arms around Jiang Fan's neck.
" Tang Fan was indeed only at the Middle-Stage Second Rank before, but he is now at the Early-Stage Third Rank."
His words stirred up a huge controversy.
Everyone was stunned, dumbfounded, and shocked!
I couldn't believe my ears.
"This—this—how is this possible? How can anyone advance in strength so—so quickly?" A San was so shocked he couldn't even speak properly.
Not only him, but the Shattered Star Squad, who had cooperated with Jiang Fan more than once or twice, were also speechless with astonishment.
Wei Cangyue was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and secretly pleased, thinking to himself:
This is nothing. If you knew that Jiang Fan was actually only a Junior Psychic, haha...
The expressions are definitely going to be hilarious!
Unfortunately, he had to keep this secret for Jiang Fan. This was not only to prevent other teams from poaching him, but also to ensure Jiang Fan's safety.
"Really? Tang Fan, show us what you've got!" A short, gray-robed man from the Sharp Edge Squad jumped out and said, his face full of interest.
To prove his strength, Jiang Fan unleashed a small burst of his qi and blood.
"Holy crap! It really is Early-Stage Third Rank!"
The short, gray-robed man spoke excitedly, scrutinizing Jiang Fan with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.
" Captain Wei, you're really something, managing to find such a freak."
"That's right, otherwise I'd be the captain." Wei Cangyue didn't even think about being modest.
Two other companions also gathered around.
"Hello, my name is Yi Tang."
"My name is Shen Xu." Shen Xu extended his hand.
The short, grey-robed man immediately chimed in jokingly, "Call him Kidney--"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Xu had already placed a knife against his neck.
"Hehe, just kidding, just kidding."
The short, gray-robed man chuckled and removed the knife from his neck, prompting his companion Yi Tang, to immediately join in the mockery.
"You have the nerve to criticize others? Why don't you introduce yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan knew that there was a story behind the short companion's name.
"Ahem! Just call me Yingjun."
Yingjun?
Jiang Fan carefully examined the face of his shorter companion. The face wasn't exactly ugly, but it was definitely not Yingjun either.
Seemingly seeing through Jiang Fan's meaning, the short, gray-robed man immediately became unwilling and started howling.
"What kind of look is that? My name really is Yingjun, and my parents gave me that name! If not, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
He spoke so earnestly and even swore such a solemn oath; it would be hard for Jiang Fan not to believe him.
"Then why don't you just say your surname is Bu?" Shen Xu was clearly retaliating.
Jiang Fan repeated the words to himself in his mind, then silently said "okay."
Looking at this harmonious scene, A San felt as if he were the outsider. Gradually, a darker gloom enveloped him, and his eyes as he looked at Jiang Fan seemed to be filled with venom.
After a period of commotion, Jiang Fan managed to integrate into the new team.
Just as Wei Cangyue was about to explain the mission to the Outer Wilderness Zone, A San suddenly spoke up.
" Captain Wei, actually, several squads have tried to recruit me more than once or twice before, but since our Sharp Edge Squad doesn't have any archers, I was too embarrassed to ask you directly. Now that you have real archers, there's no need for me to stay any longer."
A San deliberately emphasized the word "truly," and while saying this, he also glanced at Jiang Fan intentionally or unintentionally.
Although the words were phrased in a roundabout way, anyone with a normal IQ could understand them.
A San means that if he's there, Jiang Fan won't exist; if Jiang Fan is there, he won't exist.
" A San, don't be like this. Jiang Fan is just a newcomer. Why make things difficult for a newcomer?"
Bu Yingjun had the best relationship with A San in the team, so when he heard that A San wanted to leave, he quickly tried to persuade him to stay.
