Chapter 166: First Scout Squad, Squad Leader Su Yu

"Su Yu..."

Marquis Ping'an paused, his gaze quickly finding Su Yu's position among the crowd.

His divine soul lightly swept over Su Yu, and Marquis Ping'an's pupils trembled slightly.

"Four-Turn Arhat Golden Body... truly worthy of being the Commander's disciple!"

Marquis Ping'an sighed inwardly.

He knew that yesterday, when he received the college entrance examination list, he had specifically checked on Su Yu—at that time, Su Yu was only at the Three-Turn Arhat Golden Body.

And now, after just one night, he had actually reached the Four-Turn Arhat Golden Body.

Although Marquis Ping'an had never experienced the difficulty of advancing the Arhat Golden Body, he still knew that raising it by one minor realm was no easy matter.

Even as he sighed, Marquis Ping'an announced in a loud voice.

"Su Yu, First Scout Squad!"

Su Yu's brow lifted slightly as he stepped forward.

Soon, from among the soldiers nearby, a middle-aged man slowly walked out.

This person was unmistakably the captain of the First Scout Squad.

His face was full of coldness, and his eyes were perpetually suffused with killing intent—though this killing intent was not directed at the Human Race.

Rather... at the Ten Thousand Races!

Su Yu quickly moved to stand behind the middle-aged man, then took his place.

At the same time, Su Yu felt mildly surprised in his heart.

A mere squad captain was already a powerhouse at the Flying Heaven Realm, and from what Su Yu could sense, this person's cultivation was exceptionally profound.

At the very least, he had advanced to the Flying Heaven Realm from peak Golden Body.

"The Ten Thousand Races Battlefield truly hides dragons and crouching tigers!"

Su Yu could not help but sigh.

Soon, countless people found their respective squads amid Marquis Ping'an's loud announcements.

Zhang Xiaobai was assigned to the Second Scout Squad, while Beichen was placed in the First City Garrison Squad.

Tang Nian Bing was assigned to the Third Scout Squad, and Wu Ling'er, like Tang Nian Bing, was in the Third Scout Squad.

It is worth mentioning that Nan Shou Ren, just like Su Yu, was assigned to the First Scout Squad.

Nan Shou Ren glanced at Su Yu without speaking, simply standing quietly behind him.

A total of ten people were assigned to the First Scout Squad.

Including Su Yu, there were three at the Golden Body Realm, five at the Organ Tempering Realm, and the remaining two were Martial Artists at the Blood Refining Realm.

Among the hundreds of thousands of college entrance examinees, those at the Golden Body Realm made up less than one ten-thousandth of the total; the majority were at the Organ Tempering Realm and Blood Refining Realm levels.

So, seeing examinees at the Blood Refining Realm was nothing exceptional for Su Yu.

Afterward, the ten people, led by the middle-aged man, arrived at a military camp.

At this moment, several soldiers stood in the camp, each radiating a powerful aura—all of them at the Golden Body Realm!

"Captain!"

When the middle-aged man entered, the several men greeted him one after another, then looked at Su Yu and the others with teasing eyes.

"Newcomers have arrived. Too bad you'll only stay for one day before leaving. Who knows how many of you ten will remain after that one day."

"Hehe, don't scare the little ones. In Hope City, it's still very safe."

Several veterans spoke with smiles from the side.

Completely ignoring the fact that Su Yu and the others were right beside them, the two Blood Refining Realm examinees grew even paler, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"Alright, all of you shut up."

The middle-aged man glanced at the veterans and said flatly.

"Among these newcomers, you may not necessarily be their match, so stop your blustering here!"

The middle-aged man then turned his gaze to Su Yu and the others, and when it landed on Su Yu in particular, his killing-intent-filled eyes softened somewhat.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am the captain of the First Scout Squad, Chen Xingyu. These few are several squad leaders of the First Scout Squad—you can get to know them yourselves, though there's no need to, since after today, you may not be coming back."

Chen Xingyu spoke flatly, his tone making people extremely uncomfortable.

Su Yu listened carefully. In a place like the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, one should heed the advice of veterans—after all, this was the very frontline of the slaughter against the Ten Thousand Races.

The slightest lapse of attention could very well mean death.

Here, even Grand Master powerhouses faced the risk of falling!

"Our scout squad's mission is different from the city garrison squad's mission. They only need to guard Hope City in its vicinity, but we must penetrate deep into the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, find the Ten Thousand Races' scouts, and take them out."

"At the same time, we monitor every move of the Ten Thousand Races' armies. I don't know whether your luck is bad or not, but the scout squads are the teams with the highest risk factor."

"Of course, risk and reward are proportional. In the span of one day, generally speaking, the number of Ten Thousand Races powerhouses a scout squad can kill exceeds that of a city garrison squad."

Saying this, Chen Xingyu looked at the ten of them.

"Now, what you need to do is either be assigned to other existing squads, or select a squad leader from among yourselves. As long as you can defeat the squad leaders in this tent, you'll have the right to form your own squad."

"If you form your own squad, the points distributed are entirely up to you. But if you're assigned to other squads, the points will be distributed according to the wishes of each squad's leader, and I won't be able to interfere."

"So, make your choice!"

Chen Xingyu sat in his chair, waiting for Su Yu and the others to make their decision.

The two Blood Refining Realm examinees' eyes flickered, their gazes constantly drifting toward the other squad leaders.

In their view, their cultivation was weaker, so if they wanted to survive the actual combat safely, it was best to rely on the veterans—after all, they had rich experience.

The remaining Organ Tempering Realm examinees and the sole other Golden Body examinee besides Su Yu and Nan Shou Ren all turned their gazes toward Su Yu.

That Golden Body powerhouse smiled slightly.

"I imagine you all want to push for points. In that case, there's no need to hesitate—let's just pick a squad leader!"

Several people nodded; they stayed behind, wasn't it just for those high scores, and then to aim for higher rankings and enter a better martial arts academy.

Nan Shou Ren said lightly.

「The team captain should naturally be the strongest person; I'm no match for Su Yu, so the deputy team captain position should be given to Su Yu. 」. 「

Hearing Nan Shou Ren's words, Su Yu was surprised.

He had thought Nan Shou Ren must hate him to the bone, but he never expected that Nan Shou Ren would actually speak up for him at this moment.

Nan Shou Ren noticed Su Yu's gaze, his face slightly flushed, and he immediately let out a cold snort.

「I'm just doing it for the points; don't think too much! 」。「

Su Yu smiled faintly, and then, among everyone's choices, he became the deputy team captain.

The two Blood Refining Realm examinees, though somewhat reluctant, could only follow the crowd's opinion and formed their own teams.

Su Yu slowly glanced at the other few deputy team captains and smiled faintly.

「I wonder if that deputy team captain would be willing to give some pointers? 」。「
