Xue Yungan continued his sister's words.
"Even if it costs us our lives, we will do everything in our power for the long-cherished wish of national peace and prosperity."
Yan Luo and Chi Miaomiao nodded.
The young man who had been silent said, "It's good that you have such awareness. For the sake of Longxia, we must keep moving forward."
"Even if it costs us our lives, we will not hesitate to do so. No matter how many generations it takes, there will definitely be one generation that will be able to realize this grand dream."
Xue Yungan and Xue Yunting nodded excitedly.
A tender look also welled up in Chi Miaomiao's eyes, and she gestured for the two of them to drink water.
"The interview is actually very simple. We need to know where your weaknesses are, and then Yan will test you."
The siblings blinked their eyes; wasn't that a bit of a waste of their talents?
The scene shifts to the training room.
The siblings changed into their training clothes, while Yanluo wore her own clothes.
The two held their own ghostly weapons in their hands. Xue Yungan stood in front of his sister, looking warily at Yanluo.
"Come on," Yanluo said, getting into a fighting stance.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xue Yungan charged toward Yanluo, gripping a dark purple shield almost as tall as himself in one hand.
Yanluo looked at him with a puzzled expression, then she understood.
Xue Yunting followed closely behind Xue Yungan, trying to get closer to Yanluo to find an opportunity to attack.
The long-haired youth didn't shy away, suppressing his cultivation level to the fifth rank.
Xue Yungan gripped his shield and swung his fist, using the shield to attack Yanluo. Yanluo retreated a few steps, and then Xue Yunting's attack came. The girl jumped onto the shield from behind her brother.
Using the shield as a springboard, Xue Yunting thrust her spear forward. Yan Luo dodged, and Xue Yunting immediately withdrew her spear and thrust again.
Several thrusts in mid-air had no effect. The moment Xue Yunting landed, Xue Yungan immediately lunged forward and slammed his powerful shield down on Yan Luo.
Yanlu crossed her arms and used her forearms to block the attack.
"The strength is good, but needs improvement."
After saying that, the young man struck the shield with his elbow, the unexpected force forcing Xue Yungan back several meters.
The boy's eyes widened in disbelief. Clearly, Yan Dui had suppressed his cultivation to the fifth rank; could this be the physical strength Yan Dui possessed at the fifth rank?!
Xue Yungan stared intently at Yan Luo, unable to believe it.
Taking advantage of a lull in Yanluo's attack, the girl swiftly attacked Yanluo, whose aura was already overwhelmed by Xue Yunting's attack.
A white glow enveloped the entire spear, its cold light flashing. Yan Luo dodged left and right, avoiding Xue Yunting's attacks one after another.
"The speed is good, but needs improvement."
Yanluo gripped the spearhead and pulled it towards himself. Xue Yunting, who was holding the spear shaft tightly, obviously did not expect Yanluo to be so strong. She lost her balance and staggered a few steps.
This mistake gave Yan Luo an opportunity. He unleashed a barrage of punches at Xue Yunting, but Xue Yunting reacted quickly, pulling back her spear and frantically blocking each of Yan Luo's blows.
That's fast!
This was Xue Yunting's first reaction. Sweat poured down her forehead. Fortunately, Xue Yungan came to restrain Yan Luo, otherwise she would have been in danger.
Xue Yunting could foresee that if Yan Luo found another opening, one punch from him would render her unable to move.
The short-haired boy gripped the shield's handles tightly and charged towards Yanluo, with Xue Yunting, having adjusted her stance, following closely behind her younger brother.
The moment Xue Yungan moved his shield to the left, his spear thrust towards Yanluo.
Yan Luo narrowed her eyes, leaped up to dodge the thrust, and kicked the spear. The powerful force caused the spear to slam into the side of the shield, sending the siblings flying several meters to the left.
The entire test lasted no more than ten minutes, but Yanluo discovered the problem with the two of them.
Xue Yungan and Xue Yunting, lying on the ground panting, stared at the ceiling of the training room, lost in thought.
"After you get up, go back to the lounge."
Yan Luo left the training room after saying those words.
Back in the lounge, Yanluo enjoyed Chi Miaomiao's sweat-wiping service. Although she wasn't sweating, she still wiped her sweat.
The two of them secretly spent some time together before the siblings returned.
It's just a kiss; that's something you do at home but not outside.
Yanluo doesn't have that kind of hobby.
About ten minutes later, Xue Yungan helped his sister Xue Yunting back to the training room.
Yanluo's kick didn't injure either of them, but it did leave them completely numb.
It took me a long time to recover.
Chi Miaomiao handed the two of them water, and after they sat down, Yan Luo began to explain the problems they had.
"Yun Ting, you are fast and strong, but the spear is too limited in its use. If you are good at long-handled weapons, you can try the spear. The spear can be considered an upgraded version of the spear."
"The spear has many advantages, but it also has many disadvantages. As the saying goes, 'One year for a staff, one month for a saber, and one long for a spear.' Fortunately, Yunting, you already have a foundation, but you still need to spend a lot of time practicing."
Xue Yunting nodded, indicating that she understood.
The spear did somewhat limit her performance.
Yan Luo then looked at Xue Yungan, the boy with the buzz cut.
"Yun Gan, you don't have any major problems. You are excellent in both strength and agility. You will become even stronger as your cultivation level increases. However, the way you use your shield to attack is too limited."
"You did a great job with the bumping, blocking, and smashing. You're quite strong. I suggest you use your other hand to wield the sword and create your own sword and shield technique."
"Your task from now on is to protect a master of formations and ensure she is not disturbed while she is setting up her formations."
"Holding a shield alone is too passive; you can only defend and rarely attack, so your deterrent effect is weak."
Xue Yungan nodded.
Chi Miaomiao continued.
"Don't worry about the materials. We have plenty of resources, but we also have greater responsibilities."
"I will talk to Sister Zhang, who is the director, and we will make new ghost artifacts for you."
These problems are all easy to solve; the key is teamwork.
But before they can work together, Xue Yunting and her brother need to get used to the new weapon.
And then there's the most important issue of self-cultivation; the principle that "to forge iron, one must be strong oneself" is deeply ingrained in people's minds.
In the following time, Yanluo and Chi Miaomiao talked to the siblings about these problems that needed to be solved.
At 5 p.m., after a long speech, Yan Luo and Chi Miaomiao got up at the same time.
"Welcome to the Ninth Squad." x2
Xue Yunting and Xue Yungan excitedly grasped the hands of Chi Miaomiao and her companion.
Being able to join a team like the Ninth Squad was an honor for the siblings, and it made them so happy they almost flew away.
On the way home.
Chi Miaomiao was still discussing some issues within the team with Yan Luo when the two headed to the market to buy ingredients for dinner.
Yanluo held Chi Miaomiao's hand and they went from shop to shop, not feeling at ease unless they bargained.
This caused Chi Miaomiao to chuckle softly.
Yanluo squeezed the girl's hand and asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
Chi Miaomiao shook her head.
"It's okay, brother, you look so cool when you're bargaining!"
"That's right."
As Yanluo walked away from the market, she watched the people coming and going.
For some reason, I sighed, "Siblings."
Chi Miaomiao hugged Yan Luo's arm.
Do you miss your sister?
Yanluo nodded gently.
Chi Miaomiao felt a pang of sympathy for the young man's straightforward admission. Yan Luo was only 21 years old, yet he had experienced so much pain.
"I'm here, and so are Sister Qing and the others."
Yanluo nodded again, walked out of the market, and looked at the dim sky.
P.S.: I'm being lazy and not checking for typos. If you find any, remember to tag me so I can fix them, mwah!
