"Yes, A San, you've known us for over two years now. Are you really willing to just leave like that?"

" Shen Xu is right," Yi Tang said. "Furthermore, Tang Fan is a newcomer. Although he is quite talented in archery, firstly, he has never cooperated with us before, and his strength is only at the Early-Stage Third Rank. Secondly, he is still young, and his combat experience is certainly not as rich as yours. Most importantly, he has never been to the Outer Wilderness Zone."

"I agree with what Yi Tang said. The most important thing is that Tang Fan has never been to the Outer Wilderness Zone. Everyone knows that the Outer Wilderness Zone is far more dangerous than the Inner Wilderness Zone, but only after going there do they realize that the dangers of the Outer Wilderness Zone are far beyond their imagination."

Even the most arrogant geniuses need a while to adapt after entering. "Adapt" is a bit of a mild word; a more accurate description is "survival."

The three men's words of persuasion made A San feel much better, but they also made him very proud, feeling that his position in the team was irreplaceable.

Actually, from the beginning, A San never intended to really leave the team. After all, he had become familiar with the team and was more comfortable operating within it.

Moreover, because he was an archer, his teammates often gave him the lion's share of the benefits.

He doesn't think he would receive this preferential treatment from any other team, which is also related to the situation of the Sharp Edge Squad in recent years.

Two years ago, the struggling Sharp Edge Squad spent a considerable amount of money to recruit him, hoping he could bring hope to the team.

The reason he said that was to make it clear to everyone who was more important, himself or Jiang Fan.

It seems that he is still the most important person after all.

He really is just a greenhorn, fresh out of school! He wants to take his place too.

Thinking of this, A San subtly gave Jiang Fan a provocative look.

Despite receiving that unfriendly gaze, Jiang Fan remained calm throughout.

From the very beginning, he noticed that the other person was looking at him with resentment and malice, and even when staring at his back, he could still "see" it clearly.

A San was somewhat displeased by Jiang Fan's nonchalant reaction and turned to look at Wei Cangyue.

" Captain Wei, no offense, but our squad must complete the mandatory assessment set by the Divine Wind Camp by the end of this month. If we fail, the team will be disbanded. Are we really going to take a complete rookie with no experience? You know, our mission isn't just about completing the assigned tasks; more importantly, it's about killing as many monsters as possible and obtaining enough crystal cores."

Monsters only form crystal cores when they reach the Fourth Rank rank. The Divine Wind Camp team conducts an assessment every month, and the most important criterion for the assessment is the quantity and quality of the crystal cores.

"We've always barely passed the assessments before, but we failed the first two times. If we fail again this time, our Sharp Edge Squad will have to disband!"

Yes, if they fail again this time, the group will be disbanded!

Bu Yingjun, Yi Tang, and Shen Xu were in low spirits, some with their heads drooping, some gazing at the sky, and some standing there blankly with vacant eyes.

Unlike Ah A San, the three of them, like Wei Cangyue, were members of the Sharp Edge Squad during its most glorious period, rising to fame as former captain Wang Feng made great achievements in the Outer Wilderness Zone.

Back then, just mentioning the Sharp Edge Squad Divine Wind Camp Battalion, from the greenhorn recruits to the highest commander, know about their glorious Sharp Edge Squad.

Similarly, they also experienced Wang Feng's death, and their teammates either died, were injured, or left to find other places, until only the four of them remained.

Therefore, they absolutely cannot accept the disbandment of the Sharp Edge Squad.

But A San's words served as a wake-up call for them.

With only fifteen days left until the end of the month, can they really complete the task within the stipulated time?

Thinking of this, the three of them looked at Wei Cangyue in unison, their eyes filled with confusion and uncertainty about the future.

It's important to know that the increased difficulty of the previous two Divine Wind Camp assessments resulted in them not only failing to meet the standards but falling far short!

They originally thought that Wei Cangyue would have the same heavy and confused look on his face as they did, but to their surprise, Wei Cangyue laughed heartily, revealing his teeth.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely pass this test!"

Wei Cangyue spoke with absolute certainty! His spirits were soaring!

It seems that no matter how difficult the assessment becomes, it will be difficult to diminish his confidence.

Where does his confidence come from?

A San and Bu Yingjun were initially puzzled, but then a flash of inspiration struck them, and they all looked at Jiang Fan at the same time.

No way?

Him? Expecting him to bring hope to the whole team?

He's just a greenhorn who's only just been promoted to the Early-Stage Third Rank. He should be grateful if Outer Wilderness Zone, especially since Wei Cangyue said he's 100% sure he can pass.

Are you kidding me? Or has Wei Cangyue lost his mind because he can't accept the possibility of the team disbanding?

Finally, it was the A San who broke the silence with his shrill voice.

" Captain Wei! Are you serious?"

Wei Cangyue nodded, pointed to his face, and put on a very serious expression.

Do I look like I'm joking?

Having confirmed that Wei Cangyue was not joking, A San subconsciously opened his mouth wide.

The remaining three were also dumbfounded.

After a brief silence, Wei Cangyue reached out and patted A San on the shoulder, grinning.

"Trust me, stay with the team, and I guarantee we'll succeed on this mission."

Just kidding, with Jiang Fan, a Spirit Master, around, it would be difficult for them to even think about it.

This wasn't because of Jiang Fan's combat ability, after all, Jiang Fan was only at the Early-Stage Third Rank.

The key is Psychic Power!

Whether in the Inner Wilderness Zone or Outer Wilderness Zone, no electronic devices are allowed, making it difficult to detect surrounding dangers.

We only realize danger when it's right next to us.

However, Spirit Master are different; they can use their Psychic Power to cover the surrounding environment and detect danger in advance.

This allows one to avoid danger as much as possible and find a suitable target.

For example, the overall strength of their team is above the Fourth Rank Middle Stage, with the highest being Wei Cangyue, who High-Stage Fifth Rank.

Therefore, for their team, it would be best to choose a Four Star monster.

Normally, the type of monster a team encounters is not something they can decide.

If you're unlucky and encounter a high-level monster, then you're in for a life-or-death run.

If we were to encounter such a situation, injuries would be the least of our worries; total annihilation could be the real possibility, let alone completing the mission.

Such incidents are commonplace in the perilous Outer Wilderness Zone.

However, with Jiang Fan, a Junior Psychic, their field of vision extends to at least 100 meters around them.

Don't underestimate those 100 meters. In the Outer Wilderness Zone, where shrubs and vines intertwine everywhere, an ordinary Martial Artist's vision cannot penetrate these densely packed obstacles.
