Jiang Chen looked up and was slightly startled. The five arrivals were four men and one woman, all with the strength of Paladin Knights, and moreover, they were all from the Flame Dragon Kingdom.

"Greetings, Mr. Dragon King. I am the leader of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group, Blood Kylin." The burly man leading the group scanned the crowd before smiling and looking up at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, his brow furrowing slightly, "I am Dragon King. Are you all... soldiers from the Flame Dragon Kingdom?"

Jiang Chen lowered his voice for the last two words, "cavalry," so that only he and Blood Kylin could hear.

Blood Kylin's eyes narrowed slightly as he chuckled, "No, we used to be, but not anymore! However..."

Turning to glance at Chen Jiantao and the others, Blood Kylin smiled slightly, "It seems like your brothers here are!"

"Li Zhen?!" A cry of surprise suddenly rang out. Jiang Chen turned to look as Chen Jiantao stared at a man behind Blood Kylin, a look of astonishment on his face.

The man's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Chen Jiantao with a frown, "Brother, you've mistaken me for someone else!"

"No, I couldn't possibly mistake you, it's you, you..." Chen Jiantao began with an excited expression.

"Xue Yu!" Jiang Chen called out sharply, interrupting Chen Jiantao's words as he turned and swept a glance over Xuan Long and the others.

Xuan Long and the others instantly understood, and they started sprinting around, withdrawing from within a hundred meters of Jiang Chen and the others.

Jiang Chen and Xuan Long understood that this wasn't about distrust between them, but rather a mutual understanding. Since Chen Jiantao recognized someone from the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group, an old legend from the mercenary world might just be true, and Xuan Long and the others needed to avoid any suspicion.

"Are you really cavalry?" After Xuan Long and the other brothers of Long Yan had left, leaving only the brothers of Long Ya and the people of Dragon Soul present, Jiang Chen asked Blood Kylin solemnly.

"You're Chen Jiantao of Long Ya's Xue Yu?" Before Blood Kylin could answer, Li Zhen frowned and softly asked Chen Jiantao.

"I am Chen Jiantao, and are you really Instructor Li Zhen?" Chen Jiantao asked excitedly, looking at Li Zhen.

Blood Kylin's brow furrowed slightly as he examined Jiang Chen, "Mr. Dragon King, may I inquire about your identity?"

"Chief Instructor of the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team, Jiang Chen," Jiang Chen replied calmly.

"What?"

"You are that mysterious Chief Instructor of Long Ya?!"

"You guys are...?"

Blood Kylin and the others looked at Jiang Chen, surprised.

"And these are..." Jiang Chen swept a glance at the other four and looked inquiringly at Blood Kylin.

"Oh, this is Azure Dragon, Li Zhen is Bai Hu, this one is Vermilion Bird, and this is Xuan Wu. These four are the four deputy leaders of our Dragon Soul Mercenary Group," Blood Kylin introduced the others.

"Introduce yourselves!" Jiang Chen turned and glanced at Xue Yu and the others.

"Long Ya's Xue Yu!"

"Long Ya's Feng Lang!"

"Long Ya's Xie Long!"

"Long Ya's..."

Everyone took turns announcing their names, and Chen Jiantao excitedly looked at Li Zhen, "Assistant Instructor Li, you're really not dead? Are you guys...?"

"Xue Yu, there's no Li Zhen here, only Bai Hu!" Bai Hu interjected, his eyes meaningfully looking at Chen Jiantao.

Chen Jiantao paused for a moment and then quickly understood, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, only Bai Hu, only Bai Hu!"

"Dragon King, is Dragon Tooth's withdrawal... because you're transferring the battle abroad?" Kylin's face held a puzzled look as he gazed at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Who told you Dragon Tooth was withdrawing?"

"Isn't it... in our country..."

Kylin was surprised as he looked at Jiang Chen.

"In the domestic competition, didn't Dragon Tooth win? As long as they win the match against the Flying Eagle Special Combat Squadron half a month from now, Dragon Tooth will remain the best in special combat operations. And they will always be the best!" Jiang Chen spoke confidently.

Chen Jiantao and the others puffed up their chests, looking resolutely at Kylin and the others as if to prove again that Dragon Tooth is indeed the peak of special combat forces!

"Let's not dwell on that for now. You guys are..." Apparently, Kylin had some doubts that Dragon Tooth could defeat Flying Eagle, but he didn't linger on the matter and changed the subject.

"Training troops!"

Jiang Chen spoke blandly, "Long Yan is the mercenary group I formed. It's fitting to use Long Yan to train Xue Yu and the others. Although they can also experience some life-and-death situations domestically, it's too little. If they want to defeat Flying Eagle, they must go through more life-and-death trials!"

"It seems that Dragon King truly wants Dragon Tooth to continue existing!" Kylin said somewhat emotionally.

The situation of Long Yan at the moment wasn't optimistic. It seemed their reputation had soared, but in fact, as their reputation rose, they also became the target of many other mercenary groups, with more people wanting to rise above them by stepping on them.

When Kylin and others came to find Jiang Chen, they had analyzed Long Yan's current situation. In two words, formidable! All the battles involving Long Yan, especially since the period following the combat with Dark Spider, had conveyed the message of being 'formidable.' This made them puzzled, as those who could form a mercenary group weren't fools; they must be aware that it would be better to lie low for a while, but Long Yan kept on being so formidable!

When they learned Jiang Chen was training troops, Kylin and the others got it.

Jiang Chen and his team didn't have enough time. The second life-and-death assessment for Dragon Tooth was about to start soon, and they had no time to lie low. Meanwhile, Jiang Chen, risking the potential fall of Long Yan after Chen Jiantao and the others left, was training Dragon Tooth's members, which brought Kylin and others a sense of relief!

However, Jiang Chen had no intention of letting Long Yan fall.

What Jiang Chen thought was a rebirth from fire. There was less than a year left for the situation with Scar, and he was about to go to Jincheng as well. Long Yan had to grow rapidly!

"Team Leader Kylin, you didn't come today just to probe our depths, did you?" Jiang Chen asked softly.

Kylin chuckled and shook his head, then his expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I came to ask for your help!"

"Help?" Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned, looking somewhat puzzled at Kylin.

"Here's the thing," Kylin began softly, "The Northern Confederation and Beihai National have jointly developed a kind of gene drug. This drug greatly stimulates the human body's potential, capable of turning an ordinary person into a martial artist or other types of formidable individuals."

"What?!" Jiang Chen was startled and stared at Kylin with an incredulous look. "How is that possible?"

"Mr. Dragon King, human potential is infinite. Martial artists are also tapping into human potential, so why can't it be achieved with drugs?" Kylin said with a light laugh.

Jiang Chen furrowed his brows and said sternly, "Martial artists work on building meridians and Dantian. Even if one uses auxiliary drugs, it's only to expand and strengthen the meridians. To use drugs to make an ordinary person become a martial artist, the meridians would need to be expanded several times over in a short period, which would definitely affect the person's lifespan. That is unacceptable!"

"I never knew Mr. Dragon King was also knowledgeable about medicine!"

Kylin was taken aback when he heard this.
