Godslayer: At the start, the power of the Five Elements transforms into Iron Fist Tiger.

On the border of the Great Xia Dynasty, in a primeval forest—

A woman in a gold cloak stared intently at the latest training camp results in her hand.

"I've changed my mind! I don't want Lin Qiye, I want Ling Yue!"

The woman spoke as if spitting out watermelon seeds, recounting Ling Yue's achievements one sentence at a time:

"With Lin Qiye as his assistant, he took the hit of a missile, killed an unknown believer on his own before the New Year, and together with the local Night Watch team, killed the traitor Han Shaoyun from the Sea Realm. After the New Year, his cultivation level began to soar. First, the 'Five Spirit Kings' appeared in the training camp, and finally he broke through to the peak of the Sichuan Realm."

"Then, in a one-on-one battle against the Sea Realm 'Mysterious,' he used various methods to kill the 'Mysterious,' who had advanced to the Boundless Realm. This proves that Ling Yue's current realm is at least the Sea Realm, which is practically tailor-made for us [Phoenix]!"

The woman's eyes grew brighter as she fantasized about inviting Ling Yue to join them and then traveling freely throughout the Great Xia, the world of mist, when the man beside her interrupted her daydream.

The man pushed up his glasses with his index finger, then sighed. It was unclear whether he was sighing because he knew Ling Yue wouldn't join, or because of the woman in front of him.

"Captain, you forgot the most important point: Commander Ye once talked to Ling Yue about this matter, wanting Ling Yue to create a special team, but he refused without hesitation."

The woman's bright eyes suddenly dimmed, but then, as if she had suddenly thought of something, they brightened again: "How about... I seduce him?"

......

Meanwhile, the Masked Squad on the other side also received the message.

Tianping looked at the report about Ling Yue in his hand with complicated emotions, then handed it to the man in front of him.

"Sometimes I wonder if Ling Yue really is a representative of the gods..."

Wang Mian, standing before him, took the report from Tian Ping, but was puzzled by Tian Ping's inexplicable words. However, he soon understood why Tian Ping was behaving this way.

"I'd rather believe he's the true agent of the gods!" Although Wang Mian knew that Ling Yue possessed something even stronger than the Time God he was representing that night, and had considered that Ling Yue might advance to the River Realm after the training camp, he never expected that this kid Ling Yue would directly advance to the Sea Realm!

Wang Mian sighed and said, "We should also work harder, otherwise it would be a joke if a junior surpassed us..."

Cangnan City, training camp.

The once bright blue sky was now covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, giving the impression that a storm was brewing.

Ling Yue took one last look at the luxurious dormitory that had been with him for a year and was the envy of countless new recruits, before finally closing the door.

"I wonder where I'll be assigned, or if the higher-ups want me to go there." Ling Yue narrowed his eyes, thinking about this matter concerning his future, although he knew he could change it in the future.

Suddenly, a piercing whistle rang out.

"No matter how many times I hear it, this whistle is just as annoying as the school bell," Ling Yue muttered, then slowly walked towards the training ground on the playground.

Instructor Hong stood on the training platform, holding a leather bag. Upon seeing the crowd arrive, he took a document from the bag. As for whether Ling Yue would come, Instructor Hong could only say that he was used to it.

"Every word written on this piece of paper can determine your future fate—whether you live an ordinary life, die a heroic death in battle, or grow old alone...."

Instructor Hong was unusually talkative today, probably because after today, he would also have to say goodbye to these 240 new recruits, and for some, it might be the last time he saw them. After all, being a night watchman is an extremely dangerous profession, and they might die from various accidents one day.

Hearing Instructor Hong's voice, which sounded like the gears of fate, some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others were somewhat dissatisfied. At this moment, Ling Yue had just arrived.

"Moli, transfer to Gusu City Team 017!"

"Bai Li Tu Ming, transferred to Team 010 in Guangshen City!"

"Cao Yuan, transferred to Huaihai City Team 007!"

"Shen Qingzhu, transferred to Team 006 in Shangjing City!"

"Lin Qiye, transfer to Squad 136 in Cangnan City!"

When it came to the last person left, Instructor Hong looked behind him and, after confirming that Ling Yue had arrived, said in a somewhat incredulous voice, "Ling Yue, temporarily join Squad 136 in Cangnan City, and then follow orders."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue smiled slightly. This result was a good thing for him, for the Night Watch, for Lin Qiye, and for the entire Cangnan. After all, he was probably just like the other transmigrators, joining in the fun in the Cangnan God War, or even... becoming a key player was not impossible!

"Holy crap!? Did I just hear that right?!"

"I think I misheard too. With Yue's strength, he should at least be in the capital or a special team. How could he possibly come to the Cangnan Night Watchmen team?"

Lin Qiye, Baili Pangpang, and Cao Yuan behind them also looked puzzled, but none of them said anything. However, their silence did not mean that Shen Qingzhu would not speak up.

"I don't agree!"

In a daze, Ling Yue seemed to have returned to a year ago when Yuan Gang was speaking on the martial arts stage. Shen Qingzhu was also the first to stand up and shouted to the people on the stage in the same tone. The only difference was that this time, instead of Yuan Gang, Instructor Hong was on the stage.

For a moment, a smile appeared on Ling Yue's lips.

"Shen Qingzhu, how many times have I told you! You have to report before you speak!" Instructor Hong said again, exasperated. He thought Shen Qingzhu was very capable, but he couldn't control his personality. Although Ling Yue was the same, Ling Yue was just as strong!

"Report! I disagree!"

Shen Qingzhu shouted again, this time using a bit of the forbidden energy, and his voice echoed throughout the entire playground.

"speak!"

......

Shen Qingzhu is still the same as in the original work, except that he has a slight more approval of Ling Yue than in the original work.

Instructor Hong seemed surprised that Shen Qingzhu would speak up for Ling Yue, and paused for a second.

“I’m just like you, I’m not convinced either, but the most important thing for a soldier is to obey orders. Besides, do you think Ling Yue is the kind of person who would be willing to suffer a loss?”

"Hey bro, don't be so upset, this is fine."

"Why?" Shen Qingzhu still didn't understand. Ling Yue clearly had greater strength and greater potential, so why was he confined to a 'snake den'?

Ling Yue gave a mysterious smile, and for once, he played the role of the riddle teller: "You'll find out later."
