A Metal Egg
Xia Fei should join the command division the most. I believe he will love the job of a combat staff officer, sitting in his office and planning the entire battle. How can you scouts and monkey-keepers compare? Qiu Xiangji harrumphed coldly.
Qiu Xiangji was one of the best combat planners in the Endaro Star Region. His occupation had determined his personality to fight for every inch of land, so he was the most enthusiastic among the three supervisors who wanted to recruit Xia Fei.
Hou Baishan and Ma Jian were also authoritative figures in their respective fields in the Endaro Star Region. Both of them had taken a liking to Xia Fei, which further fueled Qiu Xiangji's determination to poach Xia Fei. A single person might make a mistake, but there was no way he would make a wrong choice if three of the best instructors had taken a liking to him.
Qiu Xiangji was not the only one who thought so. Hou Baishan and Ma Jian shared the same sentiments. The atmosphere in the office was very tense, and no one was willing to give in.
Hehe, actually, our reconnaissance division also has the job of a reconnaissance commander. I believe that commanding a reconnaissance division made up entirely of elites is no worse than planning a battle. Besides, Xia Fei has to ask himself what kind of job he likes. You don't get to decide, Hou Baishan said very calmly.
Hou Baishan rarely quarreled with others. His profession required him to remain calm and keep a low profile at all times, but Qiu Xiangji's obvious belittling of the scout profession made Hou Baishan unable to accept it. To Hou Baishan, risking his life to gather intelligence was far more interesting than sitting in an office and making armchair strategists.
That's right! Not to be outdone, the thick-skinned Ma Jian also said, Our exotic beast division also has the position of exotic beast commander. Commanding exotic beasts in battle is far more interesting than commanding … Hmm. Commanding warriors is much more interesting! Exotic beasts … Exotic beasts are smart and beautiful! If Xia Fei is willing to join our exotic beast division, Ill let him learn how to command exotic beasts!
Ma Jian was rather clumsy with his words, and he was much inferior to Qiu Xiangji and Hou Baishan when it came to organizing his words, which was why he would often stumble when he spoke, but his determination to recruit Xia Fei was in no way inferior to the other two.
I just don't get it. What kind of future can a good seedling have by running off to be a monkey? Qiu Xiangji mocked. He did not like those dirty and ugly exotic beasts at all.
"I dare you to say that again!" Ma Jian roared furiously. Being called a monkey time and time again had already pushed his patience to the limit.
"All of you, shut up!" Ye Jingshan finally could not hold back the rage in his heart and lost his temper at his three subordinates. Look at yourselves! Do you still have any dignity as a supervisor? "
The three supervisors immediately stood up and respectfully stood before Ye Jingshan, not daring to refute him at all. Everyone knew just how terrifying this ten-thousand-year-old iceberg Ye Jingshan could be when he flared up.
Ye Jingshan rubbed his temples. Nothing like this had ever happened ever since he took over the Star Execution Training Camp. No matter which camp Xia Fei was assigned to, he would definitely incur the dissatisfaction of the other two supervisors, which would inevitably lead to hostility between the various camps. This would only bring harm to the overall cooperation of the training camp, and Ye Jingshan would never allow such a thing to happen.
It would also be inappropriate not to poach Xia Fei. One of the main reasons why the Endaro Star Region's Heaven Execution Training Camp could develop so quickly was that they did not stick to a single pattern in selecting talents.
Before this, the Heaven Execution Training Camp had strict admission rules. They would not recruit those with wretched looks, lowly backgrounds, or bad character. Now, however, anyone who met the requirements of the training camp would have a chance to join the training camp. If they did not recruit Xia Fei, it would clearly be going against the tenets of the training camp.
Moreover, these three capable subordinates of his had all recognized Xia Fei as a talent, so Ye Jingshan had no choice but to reconsider.
"It's only been a day since the assessment started, so it's still too early to make a judgment. Once the first assessment is over, you can apply again if you still wish to specially recruit Xia Fei," Ye Jingshan said coldly.
Qiu Xiangji knitted his eyebrows. "Battalion Commander Ye, the Crisis grade assessment is different from other assessments. The candidates' lives could be in danger at any time. Wouldn't it be a pity if Xia Fei accidentally loses his life?"
Ye Jingshan coldly harrumphed. "If he's truly as outstanding as you say, there's no way he couldn't even pass the first round. Alright, all of you may leave. This matter is settled."
For three days in a row, Central Australia was shrouded in dark clouds, yet the damned rain did not fall. The sky was gloomy and gloomy, making people feel vexed.
Xia Fei and Xiao Yu had been hiding in the bushes the entire time. Fortunately, he had Xiao Yu by his side, so it was not hard for them to pass the boring time.
It was noon on the third day, and finally, Xia Fei's alarm went off with the long-awaited sound.
Xia Fei had set up detectors in a fifty-kilometer radius around him, so he would immediately know the moment someone set foot in this area.
Xia Fei could not help but furrow his eyebrows when he saw the display on the detectors. The display showed that there was not a single person but three.
"Xiao Yu, hide here. Remember, do not go out no matter what happens," Xia Fei instructed.
Xiao Yu nodded obediently. Xia Fei quickly ran in front of the path the three people were taking, finding a patch of bushes to hide in as he used his Breath Control technique.
A few moments later, the three people appeared in Xia Fei's line of sight. The one in the lead was a woman in her twenties. This woman was extremely fast, probably around 800m/s, which was more than twice Xia Fei's speed!
She was wearing a tight-fitting gray combat suit and had thick makeup on her face. After being repeatedly attacked by sweat and sand, the thick makeup had already turned into a mess of unsightly colors, messily plastered all over her face.
There was also a man with messy hair. This man had many wounds on his body, and from the shape of the wounds, it looked like he had been forcefully torn apart by someone, especially the left side of his buttocks, which had been completely torn off. Blood and sand were mixed together, making for a very gruesome sight.
This messy haired man was very much a man, enduring the pain as he battled with a humanoid creature that was over two meters tall.
In his hand was a thick and heavy straight saber that was over a meter and a half long. The blade was about two fingers thick, and Xia Fei estimated that it weighed at least five hundred kilograms. The straight saber that weighed five hundred kilograms was like a toy in this man's hand as he swung it around incessantly, creating a shrill sound in the wind. It appeared that this messy-haired man was most likely a strength-based ability user.
As for that monster, it was even stranger. Although it was a monster, its body was very much like a human, with two legs and two arms walking independently, and even its movements were very methodical.
Although it was a human, its body was covered in scales, and even its eyes were covered in thick eyelids, making it so that not even a drop of water could leak through.
The man with messy hair raised the straight saber in his hand and shouted, "Hand over the token for the second round, and we will let you go!"
The monster coldly harrumphed. "Cut the crap. If you want to fight, then fight. Just the two of you can't hurt me!"
The man with messy hair was enraged. He darted in front of the monster and swung the long saber in his hand down.
At the same time, the woman circled around, the short sword in her hand aimed straight at the monster's face. The two of them worked very well together. The woman was in charge of harassing the monster while the man with messy hair was in charge of attacking.
The monster grunted and used one arm to block its face as it hurriedly retreated.
* Bang! *
The long saber of the man with messy hair landed on the monster's shoulder. The monster's body tilted, and it was fortunate that it did not fall.
The monster's defense was very strong. The 500kg long saber could only leave a thin scratch on its body. As for the woman's short sword, it was like a tickle to the monster, unable to hurt it at all. It could be seen just how hard the layer of scales on its body was.
As the three of them fought, they retreated in the direction where Xia Fei was hiding. Although the man and woman had the upper hand, it was very difficult for them to hurt the monster. The monster only focused on defense and rarely counterattacked. Its arms were constantly protecting its eyes, and it was obvious that those were its weak points.
It turned out that the three of them were not in cahoots. Xia Fei immediately felt a lot more relaxed. If that was the case, there might be an opportunity he could take advantage of.
"Phantom," Xia Fei shouted in his consciousness.
Phantom lazily poked his head out from the Moore Stone and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xia Fei pointed at the humanoid monster and asked, "What is that monster? Can my Chasing Light hurt him? "
Phantom glanced in the direction Xia Fei was pointing and said disdainfully, What monster? Thats just a human with the ability to transform into a beast. There are many types of special abilities, and some people have the ability to turn themselves into something like an animal.
"The defense of the scales on its body is pretty good. Chasing Light is a dexterous weapon, so it won't be hard to hurt him. It's just that killing him will take quite a bit of effort."
Xia Fei nodded. It was fine as long as he could break the defense of this Beast Ability user. At most, he would just give him a few more slashes. The most important issue now was how to deal with this woman with the Speed Ability.
Different abilities countered each other, and Xia Fei had already made up his mind when he set up this trap. If he encountered an ability user that he wanted to restrain, he would let them pass. He would not fight a battle he was not confident of winning and would only target those he was confident of winning. After all, keeping his life was much more important than entering the second round.
The current situation was that if the Speed Ability user was not around, these two men would not be a match for Xia Fei. However, this woman was not only a Speed Ability user, but she was also an advanced Speed Ability user. Xia Fei was not confident that he could kill her in a single strike.
'Am I supposed to just watch them pass?' Xia Fei thought to himself unwillingly.
The three stopped less than two hundred meters away from Xia Fei, a man and a woman sandwiching the shape-shifter in the middle. They were panting heavily, and it looked like they were extremely fatigued.
The messy-haired man stabbed his sword into the ground and held it with one hand. His eyes were furtively winking at the woman as if he was plotting something.
All he saw was the woman's left hand stealthily resting on the spatial ring on her right hand, a very nervous look on her face.
The man nodded firmly. He was already on the brink of collapse, and if he did not use his trump card, all his efforts would be for naught.
* Whoosh! *
The woman gritted her teeth and tossed out a silver metal egg from her spatial ring.
This oval-shaped metal egg was about the size of an ostrich's egg. It was quite heavy, and when it landed on the ground, it let out a dull thud, instantly creating a basin-sized crater in the sandy ground.
