Each squad understood the current situation: the enemy was strong and we were weak, and we were a disorganized mess. If we didn't unite, none of us would be able to achieve Divine Miracle.

Organizing such a large group of people inevitably requires a leader.

So, who will be the team leader?

Shen Shangchi and his two companions also searched carefully for Fifth Master and his group.

But they hid very well.

Despite the large number of people, they were not exposed.

The most important part of the script Li Yang gave Shen Shangchi was that he had to pretend to be eager to be the team leader.

Shen Shangchi certainly has the ability to compete for the team leader position.

Only in this way can we force Fifth Master to reveal himself.

With the preliminary work completed, the Divine Miracle explorers gathered around the fortress are now discussing who should lead the team.

Shen Shangchi stepped forward immediately.

He shed his disguise, revealing his true, dashing young master appearance, and began to travel and persuade:

"I am Shen Shangchi, a student of the Star Magic Department of Central Capital Star. I can be the team leader!"

Shen Shangchi is truly the most suitable person to do this.

Firstly, Shen Shangchi belonged to the Zhongdu Military Academy, but not the Agronomy Department; secondly, Shen Shangchi was capable of protecting himself, and because of his Shen Family background, even a vicious organization like the Hunting Blade was reluctant to get involved.

The Heavenly Chosen of the Shen Family certainly has the prestige and ability to be the team leader.

Once his identity is revealed, people will actually be inclined to let him be the team leader.

The problem is, Fifth Master absolutely doesn't want someone with ties to the Agronomy Department to be the team leader.

Yan Wu became somewhat anxious upon seeing this.

His teammates even said, "Fifth Master, we can't let this greenhorn be the team leader!"

"Yes, he's a student at the Zhongdu Military Academy. If he really believes it's Li Yang, we won't be able to use him as a tool to kill someone else."

Yan Wu's expression shifted between light and dark.

They did indeed gather the elite explorers of the Divine Miracle, and those fools actually believed his story, preparing to launch Strong Attack on the fortress.

Yan Wu's original idea was to send them to their deaths in a series of attacks.

It doesn't matter if there's no organization or discipline.

It would be best if these people launched a mindless attack, forcing Li Yang to fight back. If Li Yang accidentally killed someone, he would have an excuse to punish her.

However, the current situation is becoming somewhat delicate.

These young idiots didn't launch a mindless attack; instead, they stayed on the perimeter and even tried to unite and act together.

They probably learned their lesson after suffering so many losses in the first half of the month.

Of course, these five or six hundred Star Plant were indeed daunting, and even the most reckless person wouldn't dare to rush forward blindly.

Yan Wu used this terrifying fortress to incite the crowd, but the fortress was so terrifying that it made everyone afraid to take action.

At this moment, Shen Shangchi stepped forward to take over as team leader, which truly reflected the will of the people.

Yan Wu would never allow Shen Shangchi to be the team leader.

What if Shen Shangchi and Li Yang were to face off head-on...?

This is too easy to expose!

Yan Wu couldn't slander Shen Shangchi yet, because at this moment Shen Shangchi believed that it was the Divine Miracle Core and was focused on attacking the fortress.

Kong Daban appearance, said, "Boss, you take care of this team leader!"

The Kong Daban at this point is no longer the original Kong Daban.

The Soul Fragment occupied his Spirit Sea and took control of his body.

The Soul Fragment had only one purpose: to seize the Ninth-Grade Lianxin while everyone was attacking Li Yang.

At present, Soul Fragment and Yan Wu have the same goal: they don't want Shen Shangchi to be the team leader, so as to avoid any unforeseen changes.

Yan Wu was still hesitating.

If he becomes the leader, he can lead everyone in Strong Attack on the fortress.

But the problem is...

Yan Wu did not want to expose himself so explicitly.

Even if he kills Li Yang, he may still face retaliation.

That Half-Step Supreme in the Agronomy Department is no pushover...

What if she finds a clue and identifies me...?

Yan Wu's confidant clearly knew what he was thinking and said, "Boss, what about the 30,000 merit points? We'll find a small Realm Domain to hide in, and even Ninth-Grade Supreme won't be able to find us!"

These words tempted Yan Wu.

Kong Daban's eyes darted around, and he added, "Boss, Li Yang has only been enrolled for half a year. Her teachers might not pay much attention to her!"

Yan Wu glanced at the square-headed idiot and said, "You don't know anything! Li Yang is Nature Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer. Her teacher must value her highly, otherwise no one would offer three hundred million for her head!"

Kong Daban chuckled sheepishly, scratched his head, and said, "What should we do then? If Shen Shangchi clashes with Li Yang and exposes his true colors, our plan will be ruined."

Yan Wu finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'll be the leader. As long as we don't leave a single survivor, no one will know it was me."

Those around him were shocked by his words; Yan Wu was trying to kill everyone!

But on second thought, it did seem feasible.

Those five or six hundred Star Plant are no joke.

If Yan Wu can do a good job as team leader, he can really bury everyone in the mess.

If Divine Miracle seekers are dead by then...

Yan Wu and his group will then be able to keep their identities hidden!

Moreover, Yan Wu also saw the current situation clearly. With only fifty or sixty people gathered, if they were not used properly, no one would be able to take down this fortress.

Yan Wu really had no choice but to become the team leader.

Yan Wu said in a deep voice, "Help me build momentum, I'll be the leader!"

Shen Shangchi knows very well that if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way.

When the voice of another campaign leader came out, he knew that Yan Wu and the others were losing their composure.

Even so, Shen Shangchi did not give up the competition; he continued to lobby and demonstrate his abilities.

Until Yan Wu approached him in front of everyone and said, "Let's have a duel. Whoever wins will be the team leader!"

Shen Shangchi's expression changed drastically at that moment.

Yan Wu did not want to kill Shen Shangchi now.

The eldest young master of the Shen Family does possess some fighting ability; it would be best if he could use that ability wisely.

Shen Shangchi said dryly, "I'm from the Star Magic Department, I'm not good at dealing with people..."

Yan Wu wanted to use this opportunity to establish his authority, so he calmly said, "I can give you three moves."

He stood there with an imposing presence, truly exuding the aura of someone commanding the entire team.

In contrast, although Shen Shangchi was tall, he was too thin, and with his fair skin, he looked like a pretty boy.

People already had some prejudice against scions of aristocratic families, so they felt that Yan Wu was more suitable to be the team leader.

Yan Wu said, "Please make your move. I guarantee I won't retaliate for the first three moves."

Shen Shangchi struggled for a moment, then said irritably, "Does that make me look like I'm bullying you? There's no need for that. I originally wanted to lead everyone to break through the core. Since you're confident, then you do it."

When he said his last sentence, his voice trembled slightly, clearly showing that he was all bark and no bite.

Yan Wu didn't think too much about it.

No matter how cautious he was, he never imagined that he, the hunter, would become the hunted.

Shen Shangchi, Lü Shunshun gave him a thumbs up. "Not bad acting."

Shen Shangchi: "Just playing myself."

Lü Shunshun: "..."You really are all bark and no bite!

After the three of them successfully completed their mission, Lü Shunshun returned to the fortress first.

Li Yang was waiting for her to return.

After Lü Shunshun explained the situation, Li Yang nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister."

She looked at Jiang Yuqing and said, "I'll give you a chance."

Jiang Yuqing: "???"

Li Yang said, "In a moment, you'll pretend to be a lackey of the Divine Miracle Core and tell everyone that I've taken students from the Zhongdu Military Academy hostage."

Jiang Yuqing said dryly, "Isn't this a bit too embarrassing?"

Everyone was speechless.

So, in Jiang Yuqing's mind, a bandit's wife is less shameful than a lackey, right?

Li Yang said, "You don't have to go then."

Jiang Yuqing quickly replied, "I'll go, I'll go! I can do it!"

Xia Putao and Shen Shangchi were still lurking within the main force.

Li Yang waited for them to give her a signal.

After Yan Wu finished his mobilization speech, Li Yang had Little Ox Niu manipulate Star Plant to tie up several people from the Department of the Agronomy Department.

The show is about to begin!

Before Yan Wu and the others could launch their attack, Li Yang pushed the "hostages" from the Department of the Agronomy Department out.

Jiang Yuqing were really going all out for the sake of Shock Points.

He made no attempt to disguise himself; he simply stepped forward wearing the uniform of the Star-Slaying Military Academy.

He specially prepared a "Roaring Pill" for himself. The effect of this pill is to strengthen his throat after taking it, so that his voice has a natural reverberation and can be carried for miles.

Li Yang deliberately had Little Ox direct several Third Grade Realm- looking Thousand-Hand Flower of the Third Rank to tie up Feng Yiqiao, Lin Zhaoqin others, and place them on the outermost edge of the fortress.

The scene was extremely creepy.

The Thousand-Hand Flower was already quite aggressive, and several Agronomy Department students, all around seventeen or eighteen years old and pretty, were now bound hand and foot, their eyes filled with terror.

Jiang Yuqing, the only one not tied up, also appeared to be acting erratically.

He shouted, "My master said that if you try to Strong Attack the fortress, she will kill all of you one by one!"

Everyone witnessed this breathtaking scene.

They all felt a chill run down their spines.

Who is that?

"How did they get arrested?"

"What is the Divine Miracle Core?"

Yan Wu immediately sensed something was wrong. He stepped forward and said, "This is a good thing; it means the Divine Miracle Core is afraid of us!"

These words reassured many people, but someone asked, "What about those who are tied up? I think they're all students..."
