Chapter 23: The Cusp of The Storm

When Gao Fei said this, it was the same as pushing Su Chen to the cusp of the storm.

This way, even if he wanted to keep a low profile and play these few days of pre-battle training in peace, it would be difficult!

After class, Gao Fei also sent some information about this training to everyone.

The gist was that everyone who participated in the training needed to obtain sufficient points in the actual combat practice.

Every time a battle was successful, they would obtain a point. Those who reached 10 points would be able to successfully graduate. At that time, there would be a captain of the combat team to select the new recruits.

Only those who could successfully graduate would be able to enter the combat sequence.

This was considered one of the few pieces of good news for Su Chen.

He had Gao Fei’s recommendation letter in hand.. He did not need to compete with others for points. He only needed to go through the training process to be able to smoothly enter.

Originally, he wanted to keep a low profile and directly enter the battle sequence.

However, Gao Fei’s method directly deprived Su Chen of the right to paddle.

‘Now, there are probably many people who came to challenge me.

‘I just picked a few lucky people to intentionally lose to the captain. He should be able to understand me. Just treat it as if I’m too tired to fight anymore.’

Su Chen thought as he walked out of the hall.

When he walked out of the hall, he saw three familiar figures.

Gao Fei, Wan Ling, and Mark, who was gloating.

Seeing Su Chen suffer, Mark somehow felt a sense of inexplicable comfort!

Gao Fei looked at Su Chen’s depressed expression and naturally knew what Su Chen was thinking.

Gao Fei smiled and said, “Didn’t I just find something for you to do? Otherwise, with your strength, joining this training would be like bullying a newbie.

“Oh right, if you accidentally lose, the money for the evolution potions will be deducted from your future contribution points.”

“Don’t, captain, don’t smile. Usually, when you look serious, you still have a sense of security. If you smile now, I feel that nothing good will happen,” Su Chen replied unhappily.

After today’s class, he roughly knew Gao Fei’s character.

Although Gao Fei looked serious on the outside, he was swift and decisive when carrying out missions.

However, usually, he would have cheated many of his team members.

When he heard Su Chen’s words, Gao Fei did not feel the slightest bit embarrassed.

The future members of the third team needed more training.

When he saw that Su Chen seemed a little unconvinced, he said, “Aren’t the members of our third team all like this? Otherwise, why do you think I have so few subordinates?”

When he heard Gao Fei’s words, Su Chen raised his head in surprise and looked at Wan Ling and Mark.

When they saw Su Chen’s gaze, the two spread their hands together, indicating that Gao Fei was telling the truth.

Only then did Su Chen understand.

This was one of the criteria for joining the team?

Mark added, “Captain Gao Fei is not looking at talent.

“When I participated in the training, my initial superpower level was level one. There were two peak level two people in the same batch as me.

“However, at the end of the competition, I was the one with the highest points.”

Su Chen had never looked down on Mark, but now that Mark had said this, he was still a little surprised.

Sure enough, did Captain Gao Fei not have any weak members under him?

Just as Su Chen’s impression of Mark’s cheeky face changed, Wan Ling spoke up.

“Mark is indeed right. In the actual combat training, he did hold on until the end and became the winner.

“It was only because of his crazy defense like a turtle shell that he won after others beat him until he was exhausted.”

Su Chen was speechless.

Hearing Wan Ling’s words, Mark was displeased on the spot. “Isn’t my high defense also proof of my strength?!

“If they can’t break my defense, doesn’t that mean that I’m stronger than them?”

Seeing Mark retort, Wan Ling mercilessly added, “If crouching on the ground and holding your head while being beaten for three hours is considered strong, then you’re right.”

“Pfft!” Su Chen could not help but laugh when he heard this.

Seeing this scene, Gao Fei held his forehead and interrupted the two who were arguing.

Both of them could be considered combat members who had carried out many missions. It was somewhat inappropriate to argue in front of the newcomers.

After all…

Besides Su Chen, there were still quite a number of people in the training hall who had not left yet.

Finally, before the three of them left, Gao Fei added one more sentence.

“Because your initial superpower level is relatively high, I might have them form a small team to fight you alone. You should prepare well. Oh right, you’re not allowed to use your equipment during the actual combat training.”

Hearing that, Su Chen’s smile quickly disappeared.

What was there to prepare?!

He was not allowed to use his equipment, and he had to fight him one more time. Was he supposed to absorb a few more beast souls at the last minute?

However, there was no time for him to resist. After saying those words, Gao Fei led the two away.

Only Su Chen, who had a sad look on his face, was left.

“I’m afraid that this peaceful day has come to an end,” Su Chen lamented.

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, trouble came.

“Su Chen! When you were a staff member in Captain Gao Fei’s team, how did you awaken your superpower?”

Hearing this familiar voice, Su Chen turned around helplessly. As expected, the person who came was Nono.

Behind Nono, there were more than ten curious rookies. They seemed to have a belly full of questions to ask Su Chen.

Zhang Yi was the only one who made Su Chen feel slightly comforted. When he came in front of Su Chen, his gaze was firm as he said, “I will definitely defeat you during the actual combat training!”

Although his words sounded a little silly, at least he did not stand there and bother Su Chen.

When Zhang Yi left, he even saw Su Chen’s grateful gaze.

It gave him goosebumps.

Looking at Nono and the others around him, Su Chen thought miserably.

It was probably impossible for him to go home early today.

…

In the end, Su Chen spent two hours explaining the general process of the last exploration mission to the curious people.

Even Su Chen’s work before joining the exploration team was interrogated.

The curious newcomers seemed to be trying to deduce the reason why Su Chen’s initial level was so high.

In the evening, Su Chen finally returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.
