Chapter 228 A Show of Force
As they passed the training ground, not only Su Jin, but also Guan An and the others were drawn to the bustling training ground in the distance.
Su Jin felt a surge of excitement; she was ready to become a member of this place, to become a true warrior!
Xu Xiao didn't urge them, but instead observed their reactions.
A moment later, led by Xu Xiao, the four arrived at the action team's rendezvous point.
There were already twenty or thirty figures here.
"Why are there so many people?" Wu Mang asked in surprise.
Guan An lowered his voice and said, "The action team initially has 34 members. It will take one to two months to select them. Only those who remain will be considered true members."
He had already thoroughly understood the situation before he came over.
Qian Wei suddenly blurted out, "Does that mean we have to stay here for a month or two before we can leave?"
He said it so casually that Xu Xiao, who was walking in front, could hear it clearly.
Xu Xiao stopped in his tracks, and when he turned back to look at them, his eyes were incredibly gloomy.
"If you don't want to stay, you can get out now! This isn't a place for you to play games!"
Qian Wei shut his mouth in frustration. He was sent home on the very first day; his father would surely be furious.
So we still need to persevere for a few more days before it works.
Xu Xiao's rebuke immediately made them the focus of everyone's attention.
All eyes simultaneously fell on the four of them.
Su Jin glanced around the area subtly.
Surprisingly, most of the gazes were unfriendly?
"Sun Heng, what are you doing here?!" Guan An's surprised shout brought her back to her attention.
Sure enough, Sun Heng was standing in the crowd.
He was dressed in civilian clothes, just like the others, making him stand out among the group of people in military uniforms.
Sun Heng's attention had been on them for a long time, and now that he had finally been discovered, he was actually quite pleased with himself, giving a provocative snort, "If you can come, of course I can come too."
Guan An's lips twitched incessantly, and he couldn't help but exchange a glance with Su Jin.
They were able to come because they were forced to by their families.
Could this kid also be one of the candidates chosen by Commander Shi?
But why haven't I heard about this before?
"What are you talking about? Everyone, line up!" Xu Xiao shouted at the top of his lungs.
They looked down on ordinary people who knew nothing about military discipline.
Su Jin and the others really didn't understand, so they chose to stand at the very back of the line.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Xiao, nicknamed Yama (King of Hell). From today onwards, I will be your instructor! There are no favors here, only discipline! There will be no rewards for good performance, but those who perform poorly will definitely be punished!"
Xu Xiao's serious gaze swept over everyone. "Did you all understand?"
Everyone said in unison, "We understand."
Xu Xiao shouted in dissatisfaction, "Louder! I can't hear you!"
Now everyone had to put all their effort into it, shouting, "Understood!"
Four simple words, yet deafeningly powerful.
Xu Xiao continued, "Everyone, stand at ease and wait for the bishop and other instructors to come and give instructions!"
Guan An kept his mouth shut and mumbled to Su Jin, "So this guy who gave us a hard time right away isn't even the bishop."
Su Jin replied in a low voice, "We all need to be on our guard and make sure we don't give anyone any leverage over us."
Qian Wei, who was next to him, also excitedly joined the group chat, but this time he was smart and spoke in a voice that was just loud enough for them to hear.
"His name is Yama, so what's the bishop called? Could it be the Jade Emperor?"
