Chapter 8 Joining the Special Squad
No one understood what had happened, but they did understand that Wang Mian had lost, and if Ling Yunxiao hadn't spoken up in time, Wang Mian might have been seriously injured.
In the midst of the silence, Shen Qingzhu pointed at Ling Yunxiao, looked at Lin Qiye, and spoke up angrily.
"Just now, this person told me that his forbidden realm is extremely weak and has no means of attack."
"The Ruins of Nuwa?"
Wang Mian snapped out of his daze and stared intently at Ling Yunxiao. Just now, He had simply waved His hand at him, and all the lifespan he had lost using the Time God Ruins over the years had been made up for.
"He is Houtu, and my divine ruins are the six realms of reincarnation."
After Ling Yunxiao finished speaking, he turned to look at Shen Qingzhu and was about to explain when he felt a sudden dizziness and fainted. Houtu appeared for a moment and then used up all his spiritual power.
Because Lin Qiye and Ling Yunxiao clearly knew each other, everyone's questioning gazes simultaneously turned to Lin Qiye.
"Since his Divine Ruins are the Six Paths of Reincarnation, why were you so agitated just now? What power did he use to unleash the fire blade?"
Lin Qiye looked around. There were now ten people present, including the Masked Squad, and they were all trustworthy.
"The last time I saw him open the Divine Ruins, it was when he brought a dead person back to life. He seems to be able to store strange powers, which he can use to fight or save people."
"So, he can bring the dead back to life? He's actually fighting with the power of resurrected people!"
"Captain, did you just make him use up two lives? Or more?"
Baili Pangpang suddenly screamed, and everyone in the Masked Squad was thrown into a panic. Shen Qingzhu was slightly taken aback; if his power was so precious, it was right for him not to intervene.
Wang Mian recalled Ling Yunxiao's words and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Sure enough, I knew what I had broken, and I was even more heartbroken than he was. I admit defeat. If he had come out and explained his abilities earlier, I would have given up sooner."
"Two Divine Ruins, three High-Risk Forbidden Ruins, and the young master of the Baili family. Your defeat is not unjust. However, Lin Qiye, I want you to promise me one thing: the training of the new recruits must continue. Can you do me a favor?"
Yuan Gang arrived late with several instructors. Lin Qiye looked at the unconscious Ling Yunxiao in his arms and felt that he shouldn't make this decision now.
Five minutes later, Ling Yunxiao woke up.
“The training camp must be held. This is not for our sake…it is for the future of you children.”
Hearing Yuan Gang's explanation, he smiled slightly.
"Okay, but you have to pay hush money. Use it to boost Lin Qiye's fighting strength! I'm too weak, I'm useless to him."
Wang Mian and Lin Qiye's lips twitched, but considering how his combat power was converted, neither of them uttered a word of rebuttal.
Half an hour later, the new recruits woke up one after another and assembled on the parade ground, where Yuan Gang began his speech.
Ling Yunxiao was only feeling very hungry and didn't listen at all. He had now realized that he was wasting his time in the recruit training camp. With his physical condition, let alone a year of special training, even three to five years, he might not be able to defeat Zhao Kongcheng when he returned.
Just as Ling Yunxiao was about to lose his balance, Yuan Gang finally finished speaking and told everyone to go to the cafeteria for a meal and then go back to rest.
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, seeing the raw beef and hearing the complaints of those around him, Ling Yunxiao got up and walked towards the sumptuous meal at the table not far away. Before he could even sit down, the chef came out and shooed him away.
"Don't chase me away. If I join the mask, can I eat it then?"
"Who do you think you are? You think you can just add a mask like that?"
"Of course. Ling Yunxiao, I'll come pick you up after you finish training."
Just then, Wang Mian led his entire team in. After greeting the chef, Wang Mian sat down next to Ling Yunxiao. Ling Yunxiao smiled slightly and placed his hand on Wang Mian's wrist.
"Let me show you something first. I know it's against the rules for me to join now, but you can see if this is worth helping me get on the team."
After Ling Yunxiao finished speaking, before Wang Mian could speak, he silently recited the Book of Life and Death in his mind, and then turned the page to open it.
"Wang Mian, this will increase your lifespan by 10 years, but will consume 10 points of vitality. Do you wish to proceed?"
Ling Yunxiao glanced at his balance of 800. He had actually spent 200 on a fight. Without hesitation, he chose to increase it. Immediately, his face turned green.
800 - 10 = 775. This Book of Life and Death is as dark as ever!
"you……"
"Don't tell anyone. I haven't let anyone know about this ability yet. However, your ability is time, and you should be able to experience its value."
"Okay, from now on I'm your captain. Welcome to the Masked Squad."
"Okay, Captain. While I'm in the team, all your consumables will be on my tab. When I leave the team, I'll give you five more of this amount."
Ling Yunxiao smiled faintly, and Wang Mian smiled as well. His Divine Ruins needed to overdraw his lifespan, but with Ling Yunxiao's replenishment, he could almost foresee his bright future—the Time-Traveling Thug.
"Seven Nights, come here."
After finishing his own business, Ling Yunxiao called Lin Qiye over. After all, he still had some questions to ask Wang Mian.
After Lin Qiye finished asking his question, Ling Xiao smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"I'm leaving with the captain and the others, so I won't be able to play with you guys anymore. I'll try my best to come back during the Chinese New Year, help you get leave, and take you home."
"Brother Ling, if you're too busy, that's fine. I'll just call my aunt and tell her. It's no problem."
"It's okay, we're not that busy! Alright, we're off now, see you in the New Year."
Wang Mian stood up, and everyone in the Masked Squad also stood up. After saying goodbye to the new recruits, they left the training camp.
Ling Yunxiao naturally left with Wang Mian, and they immediately boarded the plane after leaving the training camp.
"Besides Libra, Vortex, Rose, and Moon Demon, the Masked Squad has two members who haven't yet made a move. This is Sandalwood, and this is Star Mark. They're not very good at head-on combat. You two get acquainted first. I'm going to the cockpit to call the Commander-in-Chief's office. Your joining my squad requires special approval."
Wang Mian smiled and introduced everyone to Ling Yunxiao, while Tan Xiang had already taken out a mask similar to theirs and handed it to Ling Yunxiao.
"You are welcome to join us."
Half an hour later, Wang Mian emerged from the driver's seat with a bitter expression. He forced a smile and patted Ling Yunxiao on the shoulder.
"The paperwork is already being processed, but..."
"Boom..."
Before Wang Mian could finish speaking, a towering purple pillar of light suddenly appeared in the sky. Then, with a look of deep resentment, Wang Mian opened the aircraft door, and a group of people wearing cloaks floated in as light as feathers. The newcomers casually closed the aircraft door and appeared in front of Ling Yunxiao.
"Hello, my name is Bu Li, and I am the captain of the Spirit Medium team."
