Chapter 40

“Chu Zhou, you’re too abnormal! You’ve just advanced to a martial artist, but your Life Field Energy level has already reached 17 and your combat strength has reached 2,300… How did you do that?”

Shi Meng stared at Chu Zhou in amazement, as if Chu Zhou was a monster, on the way out of the Battleaxe Martial arts school.

“I accidentally achieved it while I was cultivating…” Chu Zhou chuckled.

What an accident!

Shi Meng rolled his eyes.

“Chu Zhou, your biggest gain this time… Is not the start-up fund rewarded by the martial arts school, nor the reimbursement for purchasing secret manuals, weapons, and medicine. Instead, it’s getting to know Supervisor Chen.”

Li Qingshi seemed to know Supervisor Chen very well. She continued.

“The person with the highest status in our Battleaxe Martial arts school’s Guangdong regional headquarters is the President, followed by the three Head Supervisors.”

“These four are the giants of Battleaxe Martial arts school in the Guangdong region. They each possess shocking powers and rights!”

“Furthermore, they have very wide connections such as the top powerhouses in Guangdong City, the military, the government, financial groups, and big families….”

“Chu Zhou, your path will be much smoother than others since you are valued by Supervisor Chen.”

Chu Zhou smiled.

He had never thought of getting much benefits from Supervisor Chen…

Nor did he think of relying on Supervisor Chen in the future…

However, it was a good thing that Supervisor Chen thought highly of him. He did not reject it.

“Li Qingshi, this information is usually impossible to obtain. Looks like you’re not simple either!”

Chu Zhou looked at Li Qingshi with a faint smile.

“You think?”

Li Qingshi blinked playfully and gently brushed the hair on her forehead.

Chu Zhou was speechless as he looked towards Ling Zhan.

“Tell me, what are your plans for the future?”

Ling Zhan looked up at the sky and said calmly, “The three of us have worked together for many years and are used to it. We don’t want to be separated.”

“So… We joined the martial arts school and formed our own team. In the future, we will carry out missions and hunt monsters together.”

“The three of you are going to form your own team? You seem to be lacking in numbers.”

Chu Zhou said doubtfully.

Martial artists needed a large number of cultivation resources to become stronger.

Many cultivation resources required a large amount of money to purchase.

Furthermore, many important cultivation resources, such as genetic potions, required certain qualifications to be bought.

They must also produce sufficient contributions to humankind.

Hunting monsters was the fastest way to obtain a large amount of money and contribution points.

Almost everyone who becomes a martial artist goes to the wilderness to hunt monsters.

However, the wilderness was the territory of monsters, and countless monsters lived there.

It was too dangerous to go into the wilderness alone to hunt monsters.

Therefore, basically, the martial artists would form small teams and enter the wilderness to hunt monsters or carry out missions.

A normal team usually had four or five people.

Ling Zhan and the others were only three. There were obviously too few of them…

Especially since Ling Zhan and the others were all rookies.

“That’s right, our team is indeed lacking manpower…”

Shi Meng suddenly interrupted and grabbed Chu Zhou with a smile.

“Old Chu, you have not joined any team yet, have you? You can join our team!”

Ling Zhan and Li Qingshi’s eyes lit up when they heard Shi Meng’s words.

It would indeed be very good if Chu Zhou could join their team.

They were friends with Chu Zhou.

They had a foundation of mutual trust with Chu Zhou after the experience of fighting humanoid monsters together in the elite trial.

Secondly, Chu Zhou would definitely be able to grow quickly given his potential. It would be greatly beneficial to the development of the team.

“Chu Zhou, join us!”

Li Qingshi added.

Ling Zhan did not say anything. He just looked at Chu Zhou sincerely.

At this moment, Chu Zhou’s thoughts began to spin.

He believed that Instructor Yang Feng and Cui Haichao would also arrange for him to join other teams if he did not join Ling Zhan’s team.

Moreover, it might be an experienced team.

However—

Chu Zhou had a secret like the Attribute Board but he did not want to form a team with strangers.

His cultivation speed in the future would definitely be very shocking.

If he teamed up with a stranger, it would definitely cause many speculations and even all kinds of probing.

He found it troublesome even though he was not afraid.

Moreover, there was nothing wrong with being careful. It was always good to be more cautious.

If that was the case, joining Ling Zhan’s team seemed like a good choice.

At the very least, everyone had common experiences in cooperation. They were more reliable than strangers with a foundation of trust.

“Alright! I’ll join you!” Chu Zhou nodded at Ling Zhan and the other two.

“Hahaha, this is great. Our team’s strength has greatly increased with the addition of a freak like you, Old Chu … We won’t be inferior to those veteran teams even if it’s just us four.”

Shi Mengha laughed excitedly.

“Welcome aboard!”

“Hehe, Chu Zhou, we’re teammates from now on.”

Ling Zhan and Li Qingshi also laughed.

Their team was truly formed with Chu Zhou’s participation.

“What’s the name of our team?” Chu Zhou asked curiously.

“Uh… Our team has just been established. We don’t have a name yet.” Shi Meng scratched his head awkwardly.

“Indeed, we have to decide who the leader is and also a name… This information needs to be registered on the official website of Battleaxe Martial arts school…”

“Previously, our team only had three people. I was afraid that our team would not pass the review.”

“However, that will definitely not be a problem now that Chu Zhou has joined us.”

Li Qingshi smiled.

“The strongest person in the team is usually the leader.”

“Old Chu, you’re the strongest. You should definitely be the leader.”

“Old Chu, your Curved Hand Blade and Sharp Blade Kick have both been cultivated to perfection. The blade is cold and incomparably sharp… Why don’t we call our team Sharp Blade Squad!”

Shi Meng suggested.

“Sharp Blade Squad? That’s a good name. I agree!” Li Qingshi’s eyes lit up and she nodded in agreement.

“I have no objections either!” Ling Zhan also said.

Chu Zhou also felt that it was not bad and did not have any objections.

The name of the team and the leader were decided just like that.

“Shi Meng… From now on, you should call me Boss Chu!”

Chu Zhou patted Shi Meng’s shoulder and said mockingly.

“Yes, Boss Chu!” Shi Meng grinned and shouted.

“Boss Chu!” Li Qingshi also called out with a smile.

Chu Zhou suddenly felt a sense of responsibility looking at them.

As the leader of the Sharp Blade Squad, he would not only care about himself from now on, but also think about Ling Zhan and the others.

However, it did not burden him. Instead, it made him even more motivated.

“Perhaps I can forge the strongest team in the world.”

As he thought of this, his heart surged with emotions.

“Alright! It’s time to prepare to hunt monsters in the wilderness since our team has been established.”

“Li Qingshi, please register our team’s information on the official website of Battleaxe Martial arts school.”

“In addition, everyone should make good use of your funds to buy secret manuals, weapons, potions, and so on that you need during the next week.”

“We’ll gather again in a week.”

“In the meantime, contact each other directly if there’s anything.”

Chu Zhou said.

“Understood!”

Ling Zhan and the others nodded.

Then, Chu Zhou exchanged phone numbers with them.

After that was done, Chu Zhou separated from them and walked towards the bus stop, preparing to take the rail bus home.

However, a black hover car stopped beside Chu Zhou before he could reach the bus stop.

“Chu Zhou, I’m Zhou Yunshan from the Zhou Family. Come up for a chat?”

The car door opened. A square-faced middle-aged man sat in the driver’s seat while speaking to Chu Zhou.
