Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

After dinner, Zhou Ping and Jiang Ye helped wash the dishes and then left the local cuisine restaurant.

Ye Fan watched the two disappear into the night and nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems that it was the right decision to have Zhou Ping as the teacher of these brats. This is the first time I've seen Zhou Ping smile so happily!"

"Zhou Ping, you might actually be able to touch the threshold of that realm..."

Jingle Bell--

Ok?

Just then, Ye Fan's phone rang. He looked at it and saw it was Zuo Qing.

After the call connected, Zuo Qing's voice came through immediately, telling Ye Fan about the situation the night watchmen in Lintang City had encountered.

Ye Fan's brows furrowed slowly. "The First Seat of the Ancient God Church, the Wind Vein Earth Dragon, attacked the Night Watchman squad in Lintang City?"

How did they survive?

"It's Jiang Er, the top student in this year's training camp. She seemed to have a sudden burst of power, instantly killing the Wind Vein Earth Dragon with a single strike," Zuo Qing said.

Ye Fan blinked immediately. "This year? Isn't that the Talent Pool Realm?"

"Yes... that's what the Night Watch team in Lintang City reported. The forbidden ruins in Jiang'er are very rare..."

Ye Fan's eyes lit up as he listened to the description. "He's a promising talent, it's a bit of a waste for him to be in Squad 08."

"First, send someone to investigate the purpose of the Ancient God Church. The fifth reserve team's official assessment will be conducted in Lintang."

"The fifth reserve team is short one person. Let Lin Qiye consider Jiang Er."

“Yes, Commander,” Zuo Qing replied.

……

The next day, early morning.

In the suburbs of Huaihai City, there is a sparsely populated open space.

Jiang Ye stood with the black-clad man carrying a sword case, looking at the distant sky.

Soon after, the roar of airplanes filled the sky, quite deafening.

A black plane slowly descended from a distance, stirring up strong gusts of wind that ruffled the hems of Jiang Ye and Zhou Ping's clothes.

However, the helicopter did not stop, but hovered in the air 100 meters above the ground.

The door opened, and a woman with a high ponytail and a heroic air about her looked at the two people below with interest.

"Sword Saint Senior, Jiang Ye, hello!" Xia Simeng greeted.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ping seemed to remember something, smiled, and nodded.

Jiang Ye said that you should smile when you greet someone.

"Aren't you coming down?" Jiang Ye asked, looking at the helicopter suspended in mid-air.

Xia Simeng smiled and said, "It's like this, we have a lot of heavy tasks, and we haven't been able to take leave for a long time."

"We have no clue about the mysterious overseas incident in Huaihai City yet, so we apologize."

Zhou Ping frowned slightly, but hadn't spoken yet.

Jiang Ye, however, understood the unspoken meaning in Xia Simeng's words.

They simply wanted Zhou Ping to help them ask for leave, or to help them find out about the mysterious overseas location in Huaihai.

This is in line with Xia Simeng's personality.

Jiang Ye looked at Zhou Ping, "Sword Saint Senior, how about we stop fighting?"

After all, there's no point in fighting, and the purpose of coming out this time wasn't to fight against the Phoenix Squad.

Instead, he wanted to let Zhou Ping experience the rich entertainment options available to modern people and help him level up his Nascent Soul transformation.

Zhou Ping was silent for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Xia Simeng on the plane spoke first.

"Wait, who said I'm not going to fight anymore!" Xia Simeng said with her hands on her hips and a mischievous smile.

"If you could help us get Commander Ye a leave of absence, or capture that mysterious foreign creature, we would definitely help you train Jiang Ye."

"If I don't make him cry during the drill, I'm not Xia Simeng!"

Kong Shang and the rest of the team members behind her nodded in agreement.

Jiang Ye: "..."

Zhou Ping hesitated for a moment, glanced at Jiang Ye, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll help you catch that foreign mystery, and you'll fight my student."

"Deal!" Xia Simeng happily agreed.

The mysterious creature from overseas in Huaihai City is extremely difficult to find because it possesses the ability to hide.

If we don't work for several days, we might not even find a trace.

If the Sword Saint senior helps them, wouldn't they have a few days or even a week off?

Simply perfect!

Ah! I want freedom!

Xia Simeng's heart was already pounding with excitement.

"Wait!" Jiang Ye suddenly spoke up, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Trying to take advantage of Zhou Ping's holiday? No way!

"What do you call this mysterious overseas entity?"

The entire Phoenix Squad was taken aback.

Xia Simeng then stated frankly, "The Mothman is a monster from foreign legends."

"It has the ability to become invisible, and it is impossible for anyone other than its companions to see it."

"Moreover, it is also known as a prophet of death, and those who see it almost always die."

"This thing's strength is only at the Boundless Realm, but it's very hard to find. Young Master Jiang Ye, do you have a way to get it?"

Jiang Ye nodded and smiled, "Maybe it's watching you from the side, and then it accidentally reveals itself."

Kong Shang's lips twitched. "Jiang Ye, are you kidding us?"

"Exactly! If the Mothman shows up in front of us on his own, I..." Xia Simeng raised her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then hardened her heart, saying, "I'll never take a day off in my life!"

call out!

As soon as the words were spoken, a monster with pink and white wings and red eyes on its chest appeared before everyone, flapping its wings amidst the swirling vortexes created by the plane.

Instantly, the air froze, and the sounds ceased to be chaotic; only the sound of the wind whipped up by the helicopter could be heard.

The Phoenix Squad stared at the Swan Man flying in mid-air, all frozen in place, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

what? !

Did he really come out on his own initiative? Are you sure this isn't just acting?

The Swan Man hovered blankly in mid-air, his not-so-intelligent mind filled with...

Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?

I was just searching for my target in the city a moment ago, how did I suddenly appear here?

It has also broken out of stealth mode.

Zhou Ping below looked at the "Swan Man" in mid-air with surprise and doubt on his face.

He himself hadn't noticed, never expecting Jiang Ye to be so perceptive.

"Sword Saint Senior, make your move, or they'll try to renege!" Jiang Ye suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ping regained his senses, and the sword box on his back opened automatically, sending out the Dragon Elephant Sword at lightning speed, carrying terrifying white sword energy.

Pfft!

Facing the number one swordsman of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Swan Man, who was at the Boundless Realm, had no ability to resist and was cut in two by a single sword strike.

Green blood sprayed out as the mysterious corpse fell from the sky, ending its short life.

Such speed and decisiveness left Xia Simeng no room for excuses, and she couldn't help but feel bitter inside.

My vacation! That's my vacation!

Gone, completely gone...

"Um..." Jiang Ye coughed from below. I must say, this "words become law" technique is really damn useful.

He looked at Xia Simeng and said, "You just said you'd never take a day off in your life, does that count?"

Xia Simeng froze, and the team members behind her shook their heads helplessly.

Captain! Why did you make that bet?!

This is it, we're doomed.

Xia Simeng clenched her fist. "Fine, if you don't want to invite me, then I won't. I keep my word."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye was puzzled, as the system had not given any notification.

If I remember correctly, in the original story, the Phoenix Squad encountered danger during their vacation and used the Ghostly Spell.

It seems Xia Simeng is being a bit hypocritical. But then again, a phoenix yearning for freedom can't be stopped no matter how much it's restrained.

"Alright, now that the Mothman has been eliminated, let's give you a good workout."

Xia Simeng rubbed her fists, her eyes flashing with a fierce light, as if she wanted to teach Jiang Ye a lesson for ruining her vacation.

"Brother Jiang Ye, don't worry! I definitely won't hold back!"
