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

After a while, Li Yifei, Hong Ying, and Si Xiaonan, who had almost been scared to tears, finally came to their senses.

"Ling Yue, I challenge you to a one-on-one duel!" Hong Ying realized that Ling Yue was deliberately scaring them, and she immediately gritted her teeth in anger.

Even Si Xiaonan, who was in Hongying's arms, pouted and stared wide-eyed at Ling Yue in front of her.

"Ahem, I was just saying that casually, who knew you guys actually believed it..." Ling Yue looked at the spear that was about to pierce him and Si Xiaonan glaring at him fiercely. He felt a little guilty.

"Brother Yue, although I'm not a dog, you really are a dog..." Li Yifei stared at Ling Yue with a face full of resentment. He was almost scared into wetting his pants by Ling Yue.

"Ahem, anyway, now that the mystery has appeared, we must investigate it thoroughly. If we let this monster continue to develop, I'm afraid the future Ling Yue described won't be far off. Xiang Nan, what do you think?" Chen Muye, as the good captain of Da Xia, quickly changed the subject for Ling Yue.

Wu Xiangnan: I'll sit and watch.

However, Wu Xiangnan did not say that. Instead, he sat down, pushed up his glasses, and said seriously, "I think the most urgent task is to find out the location of the mythical creature and find out how many people it has infected or killed. So I propose that we split into two groups this time."

"One group will radiate outwards from No. 2 Middle School to search for any traces of other infected individuals."

"It will be carried out by me, Xiangnan, Qimo, and Lengxuan."

"Another team will infiltrate the Second Middle School, follow the clues, and find the main body as soon as possible." Chen Muye nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "By the way, I'll tell you something else: Old Zhao will also be involved in this incident."

"Since we're going to infiltrate No. 2 High School, we can't arouse their suspicion; we must fit the image of a high school student..."

"Hongying, Xiaonan, Qiye... and Lingyue, the task of entering No. 2 Middle School and finding its true form is entrusted to you. As for Lao Zhao, I will arrange for him to act as a backup between the two groups."

As if he had thought of something, Chen Muye added, "Ling Yue, give it your all in this mission. In previous simulation training, you were allowed to suppress your strength, but this time lives are at stake, so try to minimize casualties!" Chen Muye's words were very serious.

"Received! Mission accomplished." Ling Yue shouted loudly and solemnly. Strictly speaking, this incident was the first battle between him, Lin Qiye, and Lao Zhao.

"Alright, in that case, let's get started." Chen Muye stood up, then turned to Li Yifei, "You go with Ling Yue and the others."

Li Yifei was stunned. "Huh!? I, I'm just an ordinary person... What if I..."

"Don't worry, Ling Yue and the others will protect you." Chen Muye's tone remained unwavering, and he added, "You've seen that mythical creature, and you're the person here who knows it best. You have to go."

Hearing Chen Muyi's almost commanding tone, Li Yifei could only nod with a bitter face, indicating that he understood.

“If this operation goes smoothly... I’ll give you a chance to join the Night Watch.” Chen Muye said as he slowly walked towards the door.

Li Yifei's eyes lit up immediately! Ever since the masked man incident, he had had a strong urge to join the Night's Watch, even dreaming about it. Sometimes, he couldn't understand why he wanted to join the Night's Watch so much.

Ling Yue smirked upon hearing this. It seemed the captain had already noticed Li Yifei's odd behavior and was using him on the mission to deliver a blow followed by a sweet treat... What a clever scheme!

Then, just as Ling Yue and Lin Qiye were about to leave with Hong Ying, Leng Xuan, who had been standing in the corner, suddenly called out to them.

“Ling Yue, Qi Ye.” Leng Xuan’s eyes were complicated. Although he had taught a poor student, it did not affect his concern for Lin Qi Ye in the slightest.

Leng Xuan walked up to him, pulled a black pistol from his waist, and handed it to Lin Qiye. He then took out a black, round object and handed it to Ling Yue.

"This is..." Lin Qiye was puzzled. Why give him a gun but not Ling Yue?

"Take it with you, the magazine is full," Leng Xuan said calmly.

"But my marksmanship... what if I accidentally hurt someone?" Lin Qiye's expression suddenly turned somewhat ugly. For some reason, even though he could achieve a godlike perspective within twenty meters, he really couldn't shoot accurately beyond twenty meters.

Fifty meters away, it's like someone with 800 degrees of myopia—the shot is blurry and indistinct, completely unlike Leng Xuan's pinpoint accuracy.

Leng Xuan gave him a meaningful look, then turned and left. "The meaning of a gun is not just about killing."

During this time, Leng Xuan simply handed the dark, round object to Ling Yue, gave him a look, and then didn't speak again. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to Ling Yue, but rather that he believed Ling Yue would use the right ability at the right time. This was his trust in Ling Yue, his comrade-in-arms!

Ling Yue grinned again, and this time, anyone who dared to provoke him was afraid he would blow them to smithereens with a single blast.

He then stepped forward and patted Lin Qiye, who was still in a daze, on the shoulder, saying, "Qiye, the gun still has many uses."

Lin Qiye put the pistol in his pocket, nodded silently, and strode towards the entrance of the passage.

Twenty minutes later————

Four figures, each carrying a different suitcase, stood in front of the gate of No. 2 Middle School. Three others looked worried and distressed.

"Seven Nights, why are your school uniforms so ugly?" Hongying looked down at the red upper body and white lower body of the school uniform, frowned and said with disdain.

Under the sunlight, Hongying wore a white short-sleeved shirt with a red and white striped school uniform jacket over it. The zipper was slightly open, revealing a generous heart that was not in keeping with her age. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and she carried a long black box on her back. She exuded youth and heroism.

Si Xiaonan, standing next to her, presented a completely different picture. She wore a cartoon-print long-sleeved shirt, her school uniform wrapped around her waist like a skirt, resembling a female student who had just finished morning exercises in autumn. Her long, black hair was tied into two large buns, making her look like a shy, naive young girl—well, overall, she did.

"And Ling Yue, why aren't you wearing your school uniform?! Aren't you a student at this school?!" Hong Ying felt a pang of jealousy seeing Ling Yue dressed in casual clothes. Why doesn't this kid wear his school uniform even when doing missions?!

"Hehehe~ You guys wear school uniforms so the monsters won't find you, right?" Ling Yue grinned crookedly and started to lie.

"Yeah, since you already know that, you should wear the school uniform even more!" Hongying glared fiercely at Ling Yue. Even Si Xiaonan next to her nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Lin Qiye covered his face with one hand. "So you weren't carrying any equipment, kid? Turns out you were putting on an act again! Strange, why did I say 'again'?"

"Have you ever seen me wear a school uniform? You know, the masked man was also going home from school that day. Have you ever seen my school uniform?" Ling Yue's smile became even more unrestrained. Originally, he didn't want to show off this, but since Hong Ying asked, he had no choice but to mercifully tell her.

"Huh? It seems so!?" Hongying suddenly realized that although Ling Yue's clothes were covered in blood that day, they were definitely not the school uniform of No. 2 Middle School.

"Wait a minute, then why aren't you wearing your school uniform?!" Hongying's mind was a little slow, but even Xiaonan, who had been to school, understood at this moment.

"What a joke! Me, the school bully of No. 2 High School, need to wear a school uniform? Don't you know the power of money, sis? Believe me, I can say one word and the security guards inside will have to open the gate for me?"

"Tch, bragging again!" Hongying still hadn't learned her lesson. When facing Ling Yue, she needed to speak less. If this kid put on an act again, he might feel good, but she would suffer...
