Chapter 811

"Quite boring." Baili Pangpang shrugged his shoulders.

"Then, someone will inevitably feel不服 and jump out to challenge." Lin Qiye glanced at Shen Qingzhu with a half-smile. "To crush these troublemakers, Instructor Yuan will soon show them what constitutes the apex combat power of Great Xia..."

"And then, with thunder crashing from the sky, Little Lord makes his brilliant entrance!" Baili Pangpang slapped his hands together, laughing. "When do we descend? Should our entrance be more domineering? It has to be cooler than the old【Mask Squad】anyway, right?"

"We wait for Instructor Yuan's signal." Jiang Er's voice came through the Bluetooth speaker. "Counting the time, it should be soon..."

Lin Qiye nodded slightly. "We still have a little time left. Everyone, review your scripts one more time. Don't mess up when we start performing."

"Understood!"

...

At this moment.

On the big drill ground directly below the aircraft.

"不服?" Yuan Gang looked at the troublemakers who had stepped out from the crowd, their faces full of fury, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "Do you think that having a powerful Forbidden Ruins, or mastering some unique skill, makes you destined for greatness? Do you think the only reason we can stand here and lecture you is that we were born a few years earlier?

Do you think I can say you lack skill, say your realm is low, but cannot call you trash, garbage?"

Yuan Gang laughed coldly twice. "Ridiculous! What I said is absolutely correct—at your current state, even if you reach the 'Klein' realm, you're just slightly stronger trash. When you encounter a real powerhouse, you won't even be able to withstand a single finger of theirs!

Do you believe me!?"

"WE DON'T!!"

"Fine, since so many of you不服, I'll give you a chance... a chance to recognize yourselves."

With that, he pulled out a walkie-talkie and calmly said one word:

"【Nightfall】."

Sssssh——!

The moment his words fell, the originally clear sky rapidly darkened, as if God had turned off the light of the world. A deathly silent, ocean-black night curtain descended instantly!

This sudden darkness left all the recruits frozen in place.

"What's happening? Why did it suddenly get dark?"

"I don't know! It was fine just a moment ago."

"I don't know why, but I feel uneasy... This darkness, it feels oppressive, a bit scary."

"I feel like I'm already having trouble breathing."

"Could this be man-made?"

"Don't joke around. Turning day into night instantly? There's no way such a being exists."

"..."

In the pitch-black darkness where one couldn't see their own hand, the recruits' voices grew louder as they discussed. It seemed that only group communication could ward off the fear that this darkness brought them.

Right at that moment, a melodious dragon's roar echoed from the sky!

Below the black night curtain, a blazing column of fire pierced through the clouds, tearing open a corner of the darkness. A crimson dragon broke through the night sky, rapidly descending from the heavens!

Those twin wings, wreathed in flames and wind, spread wide as the howling wind echoed across the sky. A rushing hurricane swept across the entire drill ground, blowing all the recruits off their feet and nearly sending them sprawling...

On the back of the crimson dragon stood seven figures cloaked in deep crimson.

They wore different masks, coldly gazing down at the countless recruits below. An indescribable pressure emanated from their bodies, mingling with the chilling dragon's roar, striking terror into the hearts of every recruit.

This crimson dragon was Hongyan, awakened from her slumber and having completed her evolution.

Now, Hongyan had not only stepped into the "Unmeasurable" realm but also awakened the bloodline gift of the Flame-Vein Earth Dragon. In a sense, she was now a true dragon species. Merely the dragon blood flowing through her veins constituted absolute bloodline suppression over these weak recruits.

Combined with the auras radiating from Lin Qiye and the others, this invincible and domineering scene had been deeply branded into the hearts of countless recruits.

The crimson dragon slowly descended onto the drill ground, transforming into a massive magic circle that vanished. The seven figures floated lightly down onto the platform, their deep crimson cloaks billowing in the wind.

Under the night sky, the world was utterly silent.

"Greetings." Lin Qiye, wearing the Sun Wukong mask, his eyes burning like golden forges, gazed down at the recruits like a monarch and spoke calmly,

"We are【Nightfall Squad】."

The words fell, yet in the drill ground, the recruits remained completely motionless.

They were still utterly stunned by what they had just witnessed. After a dozen seconds, they slowly came back to their senses.

"【Nightfall】? What's that?"

"You don't even know【Nightfall】? They're the fifth special squad of Great Xia!"

"Special squad? What's that supposed to be?"

"A special squad is... it's one of the top five teams of the Night Watch!"

"They seem to be the new generation special squad. They just formed not long ago and already got two 'Starry Sea' medals. They're incredibly, incredibly powerful!"

"That's so cool! I want to join a special squad too when I grow up!"

"You? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get into a special squad? The most recent new recruit to join a special squad was the champion of the training camp a few years ago. I think his name was... Jiang Er?"

"..."

Lin Qiye stood on the platform without speaking, but he could sense that beneath the envious and worshipful gazes of the recruits, Baili Pangpang's mouth beneath his mask had curled up to the heavens...

"Since you不服, I'll give you a chance." Yuan Gang spoke slowly. "Before nine o'clock tonight, if anyone among you can shatter the mask of any member of【Nightfall Squad】, that will prove you truly are formidable. You won't need training, and I'll personally recommend you for immediate graduation tomorrow!

Of course, if you can't do it, you must lay down all your dignity and pride. Whatever the future training entails, you will follow orders without question!

Perhaps you'll say, the【Nightfall Squad】members are at such high realms, this isn't fair..."

Yuan Gang raised his hand, pointing to the ground beneath his feet. "Here, all realms will be forcibly suppressed. The maximum won't exceed the 'Pool' realm.

I know some of you have already broken through to the 'Pool' realm. Under these circumstances, if you 611 people can't even touch the masks of【Nightfall Squad】... Heh."

Yuan Gang turned around and led the instructors, unhurriedly walking toward the platform steps.

He raised his hand lightly, and the Town-Suppressing Stele beneath the ground was instantly activated. An invisible force field descended upon the training camp, suppressing everyone's realm back to the 'Cup' realm.

After the instructors departed, the entire drill ground was left with only 611 recruits and the seven members of【Nightfall Squad】.

Lin Qiye, wearing the Sun Wukong mask, swept his gaze calmly over the recruits below. A faint smile crossed his face,

"So... let the challenge begin."
