Inside the elevator, Cheng Sheng leaned closer to Lu Nan and couldn't help but ask in a low voice with a curious expression, "Why are you being so obedient this time? You just went ahead and exercised as told?"

Lu Nan frowned and turned his face away. "Get lost."

Cheng Sheng pouted and muttered softly, "I thought he had changed his ways."

Lin Xi also cast a curious glance at him. Lu Nan noticed her gaze and awkwardly hid in the corner again.

Lin Xi looked away. This person's reaction was really strange. Why did she always feel that his attitude towards her was "guilty"?

She was absolutely certain that she had never met him before.

"Ignore him, that's just how he is, he's sick."

Lin Xi looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Cheng Sheng who had spoken. She was still fuming after being humiliated.

She nodded.

After exiting the elevator, the three groups went their separate ways. Chen Jin held back for a while before finally asking, "Didn't they say this guy was hard to manage? How exactly did Brother Yun get him to obey?"

Jiang Chuan uttered a single word: "Fight."

"ah?"

"Didn't you notice that person was covering their left arm with their right hand?"

"Maybe he just bumped into something?" Chen Jin guessed.

Jiang Chuan shook his head, arms crossed, "And his hair."

Chen Jin vaguely remembered, "When he came back, his hair was soaking wet and stuck to his forehead."

Which side of the forehead?

Chen Jin thought about it carefully, "It seems to be the right side."

Lin Xi then remembered that when Lu Nan went up to the sixth floor with them, his forehead was exposed, only slightly covering his sides.

Chen Jin gasped. "You mean, his injury is on his right forehead, so he deliberately covered it with wet hair?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but shudder. "That's really terrible."

Lin Xi shook her head and sighed.

Chen Jin was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

"What's the essential difference between the beatings we received and the beatings he received?"

The only difference was that Lu Nan had a few small scars on his body, but in reality, the pain was the same.

Chen Jin was speechless for a moment.

Her reminder brought back the near-death feeling I had just experienced during the simulated battle.

Yes, their experiences are pretty much the same.

In just one week, their energy and spirit were visibly worn away.

On the last day, Yang Qiwen had already prepared their dinner and was waiting for them.

"Oh, have you been drained of your life force by that vixen?" Yang Qiwen seemed to be living a pretty comfortable life, still maintaining her impeccably stylish appearance.

Lin Xi shook her head. "Have you ever lost?"

Yang Qiwen didn't care much. "Victory and defeat are common in war. Isn't it normal to have wins and losses?"

"Have you ever experienced the feeling of playing nearly a hundred games and not winning a single one?"

Yang Qiwen raised an eyebrow in disbelief and asked, "Is it really that outrageous? Even Xiaochuan is like that?"

To be honest, Jiang Chuan felt quite ashamed about it, but he had no choice but to admit it.

"No way! Who's sparring with you guys? They're that good!"

Even Xiaochuan admitted that he had never won a single game.

You should know that Jiang Chuan was their undisputed rookie king at the time, and even the team leader sometimes had to lose to him.

Jiang Chuan thought for a moment, then thought of the person he had been fighting recently. "My opponent these past few days has been the same person, a level 5 wind-type ability user."

"I am the same person; he has earth-based control abilities."

"Level 5?" Yang Qiwen stood up abruptly. "They did this on purpose, didn't they? You guys only recently reached Level 4, and Chen Jin hasn't even reached Level 4 yet, has he? And they're making you fight against Level 5 people?"

Lin Xi didn't speak. Her opponent was an enhanced version of Chen Jin, with the same superpowers as Chen Jin. However, whether it was physical strength, endurance, fighting skills, or superpower level, she was much stronger than Chen Jin.

It seems that Yun deliberately chose this opponent for her to practice against.

She could hardly gain any advantage in close combat against this person, and he was quite ruthless. Every time he gained the upper hand, he would chase after her and finish the fight before she could even react.

If his psychic abilities hadn't been restricted, he wouldn't have suffered such a setback.

Are all the members with the Gold Badge this ruthless?

Lin Xi secretly glanced at Chen Jin. Could this guy turn out like that in the future?

She was quite looking forward to it.

The gentle and unassuming Teacher Chen has advanced to a higher level!

However, thinking of the guy in the fight with his muscular physique, Lin Xi couldn't help but shake her head. Chen Jin should really restrain himself! Too much muscle doesn't look very good, and Sister Wen would definitely dislike it!

Xu Youjia and Uncle Lin arrived late.

"Why are you back so late today? You two used to always be back earlier than them."

Xu Youjia was a little tired. "We had extra training today, and we were divided into groups and group leaders."

"Isn't that similar to what we're going for?" Yang Qiwen picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in her mouth.

Uncle Lin nodded, "Except for the fact that the current combat training is conducted in a simulated virtual arena, everything else is pretty much the same."

Lin Xi agreed, "Actually, we're the same, it's just that our opponents are a bit stronger."

The overall model of the Wind Eagle Gang is actually quite similar, except that all superhumans are divided into levels according to their abilities, and they constantly fight against people of the same level to improve their combat skills.

The mission can be picked up at the mission office next week, but after some discussion, the group decided to split into two groups to pick up the mission.

The gap between the group has widened considerably. Besides upgrading their badge levels, the main purpose of accepting missions is to train and improve their combat skills and upgrade their special abilities.

If they are still together, taking on high-level missions will inevitably make it difficult to protect the lives of the relatively weaker companions. If the missions are simple, they will not be of much use to the members who have joined the elite team, and it would be a waste of time.

Therefore, separating is the most suitable option for all of them.

After receiving the task, Jiang Chuan handed the card to Lin Xi.

"Ten mid-level crystal cores?" Lin Xi read the words aloud as she looked at the card, glancing at Chen Jin.

Chen Jin nodded. "It shouldn't be a big problem. Xiao Chuan isn't very good at finding mid-level zombies."

"Have you upgraded your metal-type enhanced ability?" Lin Xi asked.

"Not yet, but I feel it should be soon. Maybe I'll be able to level up to level four after this mission is completed."

Lin Xi nodded.

Jiang Chuan crossed his arms. "I'll try to come back as soon as possible. I hope that what happened last time won't happen again."

Chen Jin nodded, "Okay! We'll try to get back by Friday this time! Then we can have a weekend."

"However, we have to hand over 30% of the crystal cores, and it's not easy to divide them among seven pieces."

Jiang Chuan remained expressionless and coldly said, "Then kill a couple more zombies."

Of the three of them, two are skilled in close combat and one is even better at ranged attacks. After a week of grueling training, even if they were to fight two mid-level zombies at the same time, the difficulty level wouldn't be too high.

However, if you encounter a high-level zombie, it will be quite difficult.

If that day ever comes, I'd better run away.
