"What! What did you say?"

Zhang Zijian, Xu Wannian, and Long Jianfei all exclaimed in shock, staring blankly at Shen Xiangtian, seeking confirmation from him.

"Don't be surprised, I've not misspoken. The elite company of Long Ya is now composed of nine Heavenly Level Martial Artists and one hundred Earth Level Martial Artists,"

Shen Xiangtian said with a slight smile, nodding firmly, "Moreover, they have all mastered the combined combat methods recorded in the training cultivation techniques. Chen Jiantao and the other eight have previously coordinated to kill an Innate Grandmaster outside, and not just one.

So, even if Captain Long himself were to take action, Flying Eagle would definitely lose!"

In an instant, the entire exercise directorate fell silent.

There was not even the sound of breathing.

Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at Shen Xiangtian, shocked by his words.

Nine Heavenly Level, over a hundred Earth Level warriors—such military strength was unheard of, and it wasn't just about one special warfare squad. Five months ago, even the Five Great Special Warfare Brigades couldn't muster such forces.

And those nine Heavenly Level Martial Artists, they actually used coordination to encircle and kill Innate Grandmasters? And more than one?

Shock and disbelief were written all over everyone's faces. They all felt that their previous understanding of martial artists had been seriously flawed. Since when could Heavenly Level Martial Artists kill Innate Grandmasters?

If all of this was true, then it was all crafted by Jiang Chen in the span of just five months.

My God, what kind of monster is this General Instructor Jiang?

"Good!" Zhang Zijian suddenly roared, jolting everyone back to reality: "Damn it, that's fantastic!"

"No wonder! No wonder the people sent by General Instructor Jiang to protect his woman were sent back, no wonder he has so many powerful warriors. This, this is simply a machine for producing powerhouses, a Heavenly Level guard, how could they care for anything less!" Xu Wannian also had a moment of realization.

At this moment, Xu Wannian suddenly found that the polite remark he had made that day had come true.

If someone could train so many powerful warriors in just five months, sending five Semi Innate warriors for protection was indeed barely better than nothing. If they wanted Semi Innate experts, couldn't they just spend a year to train them?

At this moment, Xu Wannian started to consider whether he should send an Innate Grandmaster instead. Such an impressive General Instructor must be wooed!

As for Long Jianfei, he was completely dumbfounded. Thinking about what he had said to his team members before, he could feel his face burning with embarrassment.

My God, it turns out that I have been the one full of arrogant pride all along.

"Commander Zhang, give the order," Shen Xiangtian said, looking directly into Zhang Zijian's eyes.

Zhang Zijian nodded firmly and turned to pick up the walkie-talkie for all-staff communication on the table, pressed the button, and bellowed: "Attention, everyone, this is Zhang Zijian. The confrontation will end in one hour. By then, the side with more remaining people will be victorious!"

"Attention, everyone, I am..."

After repeating the command three times, Zhang Zijian put down the walkie-talkie and stared intently at the spots of light on the screen.

After the orders were given three times, the small cluster of lights that hadn't moved on the screen for three days quickly separated into nine groups, rapidly heading toward the encircling direction of the Flying Eagle operatives.

In the directorate, everyone was staring intently at the screen full of light points, even the quite confident Shen Xiangtian, who was feeling a mix of nerves and indescribable excitement.

Now that the elite company had moved out, the reason Shen Xiangtian had given such an order was to show everyone.

Today, Long Ya, with a force of 109 members, will wipe out half the strength of the Flying Eagle Special Combat Squadron, and that too within one hour!

He wanted to prove:

Long Ya is the absolute best in special combat!

There was no longer any sound in the director's department; all the people, including other staff members, were all gathered behind Zhang Zijian and others, watching the screen with its flickering dots.

They wanted to witness this moment—whether Long Ya would retreat or reclaim its title as 'the best in special warfare,' it was something very worth seeing.

As time passed, the dots on the screen became smaller and smaller, and a countdown timer in the top right corner slowly decreased from 60 minutes.

Beep beep beep!

Suddenly, the screen flashed twice, and the countdown timer in the top right stopped at 5 minutes 32 seconds 47, and in the center of the screen, four large characters appeared: 'Combat Over!'

When they saw these four characters, everyone was shaken, their gazes uniformly fixed on the remaining dot of light on the screen—a green one!

"Haha, we won!"

Shen Xiangtian's eyes flashed with excitement as he clenched his fist and swung it through the air, uncontrollably shouting aloud.

"We won! We've won! Long Ya is saved!"

Zhang Zijian took a deep breath, his eyes moistening, tears swirling in his eyes. He looked up toward the sky, trying hard to keep the tears from falling, but they could not be controlled. Unable to help himself, Zhang Zijian closed his eyes, letting the tears stream down from the corners.

"We lost." Long Jianfei looked at the remaining green dot on the screen with a wistful, disheartened expression.

But then he laughed, exhaled deeply, and his eyes revealed a joyous light.

He didn't want Long Ya to be disbanded either, as Shen Xiangtian had said. Long Ya had sacrificed too much for the country, including this time when Dongfang Zone called up elites to form Dragon Soul; otherwise, Long Ya would not have fallen to the point of being disbanded like it was before today.

But now, Long Ya had reclaimed its status. It was fortunate for Long Ya and also a fortune for the nation.

"Report!"

Chen Jiantao's resonant and forceful voice broke the silence in the director's department through the intercom on the table.

Zhang Zijian grabbed the intercom, pressed the button, and said excitedly, "Speak!"

"Reporting to Commander Zhang, mission completed. We have annihilated the Flying Eagle Special Combat Squadron and captured alive 125 elite members of the Flying Eagle Special Combat Squadron. Awaiting Commander Zhang's orders!" Chen Jiantao's voice was filled with suppressed excitement.

"What?"

Zhang Zijian exclaimed incredulously, looking at Xu Wannian, who stared back with a face full of shock, turning toward Long Jianfei, who at that moment was completely dumbfounded and speechless!

"You... you guys actually captured the elite company of the Flying Eagle Special Combat Squadron?!" Zhang Zijian could hardly believe his own words.

"Report, yes, we've captured the elite company of the Flying Eagle Special Combat Squadron."

Chen Jiantao's voice carried a hint of reverence. "When we were heading back, the head instructor had said, if we are to fight, then fight with spirit; winning against Flying Eagle is not enough. If we couldn't capture half of the elite company of Flying Eagle alive, then we wouldn't be worthy to be soldiers of the head instructor, and it would be a disgrace to him.

Now, we've done it. We've captured two-thirds of the Flying Eagle elite company. We haven't disgraced our head instructor. Please give your orders, Commander!"

That statement shocked everyone!
