Chapter 217 Backbone

"Yu Manman, you should be the team leader." Ackerman said.

Several females looked at each other, not quite understanding, but the others were also convinced.

Although Yu Manman is a female, her overall strength is no weaker than theirs, and she even knows more than them.

For example, last week, someone had an emergency, and before several medical students could figure out what was wrong, Yu Manman had already perfectly resolved it. Since then, they've been impressed by Yu Manman, and several medical students even excitedly asked him for advice...

For example, someone experienced mental confusion due to excessive stress. Without anyone else noticing, Yu Manman was the first to consult the stressed-out orc and help him resolve the issue. It's fair to say that Yu Manman's insight is exceptional.

In the next two weeks, the eighty-one people got to know each other and worked together, and the five females received more in-depth training, mainly in mental strength and purification of the spiritual sea. However, they also needed at least half a day of actual combat training, and they had to ensure a certain level of coping ability. Even if there were no male orcs around, they had the ability to protect themselves.

Yu Manman is a combatant, not a supporting one, so she doesn't need to train with them.

Most of their training is the same, and the others also have mental training, but the proportion of time is different. Yu Manman mainly trains in actual combat with the male orcs, such as how to materialize mental power and let his spiritual body fight with them!

As for purification ability, Yu Manman will also take about an hour to train.

"Are you ready?"

Ackerman looked at the team below who had been training hard for three weeks.

“Always be prepared!”

After more than half a month of training, their mental state has changed a lot. They all hold their heads high and their eyes are sharp, like a sharp knife.

"Set off!"

"Yes! Instructor!"

They boarded the yacht wearing special combat uniforms.

Wu Yingyue's eyes were shining as she sat next to Yu Manman.

"How incredible..." she whispered.

Wu Yingyue's trajectory had been arranged since she was a child. She had never imagined that one day she would actually join such a team! Even if she didn't have to fight in the water, it was still a thrill for her!

"I will train more in the future and strive to fight alongside you in the future." Wu Yingyue looked at Yu Manman with longing in her eyes.

"Yes." Yu Manman smiled.

She also recently discovered that Wu Yingyue looked like a very well-behaved girl, but in fact she also liked to do exciting things. After coming here, it seemed like she had opened the door to a new world and found that there were still many things she could do!

She wants to learn how to use a gun and fight, and she's not afraid even if she gets hurt!

"You have a great talent for shooting!" Yu Manman encouraged. "Given time, you'll definitely become a sharpshooter!"

Yu Manman is not exaggerating.

She discovered that Wu Yingyue was really talented in this area. She had not been training for a long time, but she could make the bullet holes overlap when shooting at fixed targets. Even with moving targets, she could still hit nine or ten rings!

Wu Yingyue smiled shyly, "I didn't expect that..."

The other females listened to the conversation between Wu Yingyue and Yu Manman and nodded silently.

They have the same idea as Wu Yingyue, they also want to be part of the battle!

The instructors' expectations of them were high, but definitely not as high as Yu Manman and the others! The most basic thing for them now was to be able to protect themselves.

But after being in such a team and seeing Yu Manman's strength, they will also yearn for it, and their goal will no longer be to simply be an auxiliary purifier.

“Woo—”

On the sea, a huge whale emerged from the water, turned over, and splashed high waves.

And this whale was only a hundred meters away from their yacht.

However, they had all learned how to use their mental powers to distinguish between primitive species and fallen species. This whale not far from them was just a primitive creature and had not mutated.

They used their mental power to detect and found that it was a blue whale that was more than 30 meters long but had a relatively gentle temperament.

What a huge blue whale, almost as big as their yacht!

It was Yu Manman’s first time to observe a whale at such a close distance, and it felt very novel.

"We are about to reach a low- to medium-risk area. Please pay attention," Ackerman said, holding the miniature intercom. "Today, you will be randomly divided into groups of five to jointly deal with a Class A Fallen."

"From the moment the Corrupted Species appear, the time limit is ten minutes. Groups that fail to complete their mission will swim back to shore on their own."

They looked at each other, wondering if they could swim back?

Wouldn't that take a few hours of swimming?

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Ackerman nodded and turned his gaze towards Yu Manman and the other six females. "Today, you will form teams of six and hunt down a B-rank Corrupted Species! The time limit is also ten minutes. If you fail the test, you will also have to swim back to base on your own."

"Us?" Wu Yingyue was a little worried. She was afraid that it would delay Yu Manman's retreat.

The few of them who were selected do have certain abilities, but there is still a big gap between them and those who have gone through multiple rounds of screening.

"Don't worry, we can definitely do it!" Yu Manman said, "Yingyue, your marksmanship is good, and your mental strength is the strongest. Just stay on the boat and keep an eye on the location of the Fallen Species, and look for opportunities to kill them."

"We've learned the weaknesses of various fallen species these days. As long as you find its weakness, the chances of killing it will be very high!"

"And An Yan, your beast form and materialized spirit form are both very strong, and the tacit understanding between them is also very high. As long as you calm down, your strength will be no less than mine."

Tao Anyan's prototype is a killer whale with S-level mental power, but he is not well trained and tends to panic when encountering problems.

"Xixue, you are from the Eagle Clan, and your observation skills are very sharp. You can command from the air and take charge of the overall situation. If any accidents occur, notify us in time!"

"You Xiao, you're fast underwater. You can find an opportunity to lure the Fallen Species to the surface. This will also allow Yingyue to better shoot them!"

"A Chang, your defense and attack power are both very strong, and your long-range and close-range combat abilities are also good..."

"Thank you, Manman!"

After hearing Yu Manman's analysis, the five of them felt less nervous and more confident in dealing with the fallen species. They looked at Yu Manman and regarded him as their backbone.

"We are a team! As long as we work together, we can do it!"

Yu Manman wasn't completely confident, after all, this was her first time receiving a mission to kill the Fallen. But if she panicked now, what would happen during the assessment?

"First group, get ready!"
