"If I beat you, you'll take me there?"

Jiang Chen replied with a laugh, "Do you think I'm that eager to join your Flame Dragon Group?"

Both Long Wuhun and Li Feng's expressions changed.

"Chief Instructor Jiang, what do you mean by that?" Li Feng asked in a deep voice.

"If it weren't for several old men from your Flame Dragon Group inviting me over and over again, and since I also wanted to see the selection process of my brothers, do you think I would bother visiting your Flame Dragon for fun?"

Jiang Chen said indifferently, "If I can't go without joining the Flame Dragon, then I simply won't go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen turned to Shen Xiangtian, "I'll wait for your good news."

After giving his instructions, Jiang Chen headed straight for the helicopter that brought them.

"Chief Instructor Jiang," Li Feng called out urgently, lifting his leg to stop him.

Whiz!

A powerful aura burst forth. Long Wuhun moved instantly, attacking Jiang Chen with a raised hand and shouting, "If you want to leave, beat me first!"

Swoosh!

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Chen, throwing a punch at Long Wuhun.

Long Wuhun was taken aback and hastily retreated.

"You think you're qualified to move against the Chief Instructor?" Spirit You looked coldly at Long Wuhun.

Because of what happened with Wu Yati, Spirit You had always felt guilty towards Jiang Chen. Hearing Long Wuhun challenging and even attacking Jiang Chen, rage surged within him and he couldn't hold back.

Whooosh!

The Gale Winds warriors swiftly surrounded Long Wuhun and his companion, looking at them with cold, menacing eyes.

"What's this? Does Dragon Fang like to gang up on the few?" Long Wuhun's face changed as he shouted.

"I got this!" Spirit You growled, lifting his foot to charge at Long Wuhun.

"Spirit You," Jiang Chen spoke lightly, "he's not worth your effort."

Hearing this, Spirit You immediately halted.

"Archer!" Jiang Chen turned to one of the approaching Gale Winds warriors, "He's yours. Finish the fight in one minute. Don't delay your participation in the selection."

"Yes!" Archer responded loudly, his aura erupting forcefully.

Whiz!

An overwhelming aura of bloodlust emerged, fiercely pressing down on Long Wuhun.

Long Wuhun's expression changed, sensing extreme danger from Archer's aura.

That feeling was as if the burly man before him had emerged from a sea of blood, his presence filled with lethal intent!

"Kid, daring to challenge our Chief Instructor, today I'll let you know that Dragon Fang is not to be insulted, and neither is the Chief Instructor!"

Archer roared and charged at Long Wuhun.

Grinding his teeth, Long Wuhun leaped to meet him.

Bang Bang Bang!

Series of muffled sounds followed as the two engaged in fierce combat, with the other Dragon Fang warriors stepping back to give them space to fight.

Li Feng watched the battle between Long Wuhun and his opponent with interest, not intending to intervene.

This was a special approval for the Dragon Fang elite group to participate in the Flame Dragon Group selections, bypassing the initial selections of their military district. This left many in the Flame Dragon Group unclear about the Dragon Fang warriors' strength.

Although they knew their levels were all within those of an Innate Grandmaster, the actual combat skills could not be solely inferred from their levels. Thus, Li Feng also wanted to gauge the Dragon Fang warriors' actual strength through the combat between Long Wuhun and his opponent.

As the fight progressed, Li Feng's expression gradually grew serious, and his eyes showed a stunned look.

Long Wuhun's Kylin Team was the elite squad within the Flame Dragon Group, equivalent to Dragon Fang's elite platoon. All its members were at the Innate Peak level and had rich combat experience. However, in less than a minute, Long Wuhun was already at a complete disadvantage, being overwhelmed by Archer. This was something Li Feng had not anticipated at all.

"Cannon, you have ten seconds left!" a shout suddenly rang out.

Li Feng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Chen, "Commandant Jiang, you underestimate our Flame Dragon Group's elite squad too much. Do you really think he can defeat Long Wuhun within one minute?"

"Not defeat, kill! Our Long Ya warriors must be invincible at the same level!" Jiang Chen spoke indifferently.

"Die!"

A thunderous roar erupted as Cannon, hearing Jiang Chen's shout, panicked and hastened his attack, landing a heavy punch directly on Long Wuhun's chest.

Bang!

Crack!

Long Wuhun, unable to dodge in time, was sent flying, with several ribs in his chest broken.

Sputter!

In mid-flight, Long Wuhun spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes wide with shock as he stared at Cannon.

"Watch my Cannon Hammer!"

Cannon shouted again, his hands crossed, his figure flashed as he chased down Long Wuhun, and as he was about to land, he smashed a double-handed punch down toward Long Wuhun's head.

Li Feng's expression drastically changed, and he moved to rush over.

"Stop!" a stern voice commanded.

Instantly, Cannon's movement halted, his punch stopping just three centimeters above Long Wuhun's forehead.

Pale-faced, Long Wuhun looked up at the massive fist above his head, a few strands of his hair being cut off by the fist's wind, hovering and then drifting down past his eyes.

Cannon glanced at Jiang Chen, withdrew his fist, and fiercely glared at Long Wuhun, "Listen, kid, if you dare to challenge the Commandant again, I won't kill you but I will cripple you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cannon no longer paid any attention to Long Wuhun, turning to face Jiang Chen, "Report to the Commandant, mission accomplished!"

"You should have ended the fight at thirty-seven seconds when that punch shouldn't have missed," Jiang Chen said sternly as he looked at Cannon.

"I... I wanted to irritate him!" Cannon stammered.

"In combat, if you can defeat an enemy in one second, never take an extra fraction of a second, because that extra fraction of a second could give rise to various possibilities. Don't you understand that?" Jiang Chen sharply admonished.

"Commandant Jiang, he did really well!" Li Feng frowned slightly, speaking in a grave tone, "There's no need to humiliate Wuhun like that, is there?"

Jiang Chen thought Cannon took too long, which, in Li Feng's eyes, was humiliating to Long Wuhun.

"Vice-Captain Li, Cannon is my soldier, I don't need you to intervene in how I discipline my men." Jiang Chen gave Li Feng a fleeting glance, then turned back to Cannon, "I've told you many times before, even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. You are about to join Flame Dragon, and the battles you will face there are far more perilous than those with Long Ya. In such dangerous missions, even a slight slackness, a slight error in battle, could lead to mission failure, could lead to the death of teammates!"

"Cannon, I know you wanted to humiliate Long Wuhun, but remember, even in a sparring match, treat it as combat. There's no difference between the two, except for killing and not killing. Only by adopting this habit in regular training can you minimize the chance of error in real combat. Do you understand?" Jiang Chen barked.

"Understood!" Cannon answered loudly, then added with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry, Commandant, I was wrong!"

"Don't tell me sorry, I don't want to hear any apologies from any of you."

Jiang Chen scanned the Long Ya warriors' eyes and shouted loudly,

"Because there may very well come a day when you say sorry to me because your mistakes caused one of our brothers to die. So, from now on, I don't want to hear any apologies from any of you!"

"Yes!" Shen Xiangtian and the rest of the Long Ya warriors loudly responded together.

Li Feng blankly watched the scene before him.

At that moment, he suddenly felt as if the one hundred and nine warriors of the Long Ya elite squad, along with Shen Xiangtian and Jiang Chen, those one hundred and eleven people, had suddenly become one.

One hundred and eleven breaths conflated into a stunning, earth-shattering force.

And the soul of this force was Jiang Chen!

At that moment, he understood what Zhang Zijian meant. Trying to unsettle Jiang Chen from the most crucial place in the hearts of the Long Ya warriors was impossible.

It was pure delusion.

Jiang Chen was the soul of the squad!
