Chapter 244: Selecting the Captain

"Thank you," Li Chang'an said calmly, then turned his gaze toward the instructor.

The instructor nodded and announced, "From today onward, Li Chang'an is the leader of your squad!"

Hearing this outcome, Sun Yang walked over with a grin, patting Li Chang'an on the shoulder. "Li Chang'an, you've earned that captain's seat fair and square! This brother of yours is truly impressed!"

Though Bai Lin remained expressionless, she too gave a nod. "You are very strong. I have no objections."

Shen

Upon hearing this, the players of the China region showed no change in expression, completely unfazed by the outcome as if it were entirely expected.

Night fell, sullen and devoid of a single sliver of moonlight, a darkness so profound one could scarcely see one's own outstretched hand; from even a short distance away, those behind could no longer discern those ahead, while the howling northern wind drowned out the sound of hurried footsteps—truly, a night dark and windy, perfect for slaughter and arson.

Boom! A bolt of heavenly thunder crashed down, instantaneously blasting the Dark Dragon Tripod back into Chen Qiang's body, and Chen Qiang immediately felt his connection with the vessel severed entirely.

"Heh, I wonder if Brother Lin Jie has any benefits to share a bit of with this brother of yours," the wretched archer said excitedly, running a hand through Chen Xiyi's beautiful hair.

"Thank you, Director. By the way, when will he recover?" Lin Jie was still rather worried about Handsome Fish's condition; moreover, he hoped Handsome Fish could regain his health sooner.

"Holy crap, it really is a nine-layered seal, damn it." The Divine Sage's depressed voice sounded directly in Lin Jie's ears, though to Lin Jie, it carried a mix of excitement, affection, and a touch of bewilderment; at this moment, he hadn't even unlocked the first layer, let alone all nine.

Two minutes later, receiving the signal from Sima Haotian that everything was ready, Lin Jie finally stood up and walked toward the decoy unit.

By now, Zeng Hao had already halted his flying light, his eyes dazed and bloodshot as he watched the skeletal arm clawing ruthlessly toward him.

Feng Le's mind raced with endless thoughts, his expression shifting unpredictably; at this moment, Huangpu Chenxiang also noticed Feng Le's strange state, yet she did not disturb him, merely gazing at him with eyes full of tender affection, a soft and charming smile playing faintly on her lips as she quietly, so quietly, stayed by his side.

After listening to the God of Generals' words, Nie Feng finally understood why he had appeared here; it turned out the God of Generals had been sent by Phoenix to assist him, likely because Phoenix had heard about the lineup Mie Cangsheng had displayed within the city of Tiance Mansion and subsequently dispatched the God of Generals over.

Returning to her private quarters, she took her time bathing, doing her makeup, and dressing, adorning herself exquisitely before gracefully appearing in the main hall.

Flying directly toward one another, the two were simultaneously blasted backward by the tremendous force; indeed, under such a powerful impact, neither could possibly remain standing upon their respective weapons, and they both plummeted from the high skies down to the earth below.

Chen Mo sat quietly where he was, savoring the clear water from the kettle, and only stood up to leave long after the two of them had departed.

The bearded man had known Chen Yu for so many years yet had always maintained an air of mystery, visible only when the boats came in; as for his given name or surname, the Chen family had never thought to ask, and neither had Chen Yu—this tacit understanding made them feel that not knowing mattered little, for remembering each other was far better than scheming against one another.

"What are you saying, elder brother? I do not even fear death, so what is a mere gathering of provisions? This brother of yours understands perfectly." Perhaps moved by Dong Zhuo's posture, Wu Kuang impulsively blurted out a form of address he had never used since the two of them had established their master-servant relationship.

Liu Bei finally exposed her true inner feelings, hesitating in this critical moment as she shrank her rapier back by half an inch, stopping short of actually piercing the young man before her to death.

"Yes, we of the planet Arcanam pride ourselves more the more transparent our bodies are," Princess Masuya offered proactively by way of explanation, seeing Li Yu staring intently at her form.
