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

Meanwhile, inside the underground surveillance system.

"Hmm, those two new recruits came to the training ground in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

"Huh? It's Wang Mian and that new recruit named Ling Yue?!"

"Huh?! They're about to fight!!"

Seeing that the two were officially fighting, the patrolling instructor quickly called Yuan Gang.

"Hey!?" Yuan Gang's tone was a little impatient. He had just played a three-player Zed match, and one of his teammates had actually gone AFK! How could he not be angry?! He immediately gave this teammate a report and a "lost parents" bonus.

Ling Yue: ...

"Commander, Ling Yue is fighting with Wang Mian, the captain of the [Masked] squad!!"

"Oh~ It's good that they're fighting... What did you say!? Ling Yue and Wang Mian are fighting!" At first, Yuan Gang was cursing the AFK player in his mind, but he quickly realized what was happening, hung up the phone, put on his shoes, and went to the scene.

"Yes, Ling Yue and Wang Mian are fighting!" The instructor had just said something when the phone went dead.

......

Compared to the agility and vines of the Divine Wood Ape, Wang Mian's mere time acceleration is somewhat insufficient. The two are still less than two seconds apart, but in the complex terrain of a forest, the Divine Wood Ape would be faster.

"Captain Wangmian, please."

Upon hearing this, Wang Mian didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began wielding the [Ge Yuan] at high speed from a distance, using the power of the peak of the Pool Realm.

The black blade energy was extremely dazzling under the moonlight, and the power of the blade energy at this level was far greater than before.

If I had to use an analogy, it would be like the sword energy of the King's Pool Realm being able to leave dents on the flesh of the Stone Armor Bear, and if there are too many, it will bleed.

Chi Jing's sword strike could draw blood from the stone-armored bear, provided the bear fought head-on without using any defensive abilities.

"Mom...entwined with vines!" Shenmu Yuan almost blurted out those taboo words, but luckily he reacted quickly.

Dozens of green vines emerged from the surrounding ground, each one as strong as the pool itself.

The next second, the Divine Wood Ape was enveloped in red light and disappeared from its original spot, transforming into a Flame Crane that soared into the sky.

The Flaming Crane is entirely white, with black feathers along the edges of its large wings, and its claws gleam with a metallic sheen. A red, jewel-like core sits atop its head.

This was Ling Yue's first time transforming into a Flame Crane, but he didn't feel any unfamiliarity at all. On the contrary, every limb of the Flame Crane was as flexible as an arm.

"Flying, huh? That's a bit troublesome." Wang Mian's expression remained calm as he continued to unleash his sword energy at an accelerated pace, severing the vines on the ground in the blink of an eye.

To avoid waking the other recruits, the Flaming Crane maintained its flying distance, never exceeding five meters above the ground.

Facing the sword energy that the king was slashing towards the sky, the Flame Crane did not dodge, but instead opened its long, thin, golden iron beak.

The next second, a fireball condensed in the beak of the Flame Crane. Under his careful control, the fireball was no more than half a meter in size, but its power was far beyond what a half-meter fireball could achieve.

With a loud cry, the fire crane in the sky released a burst of fireballs that melted away the King's blade energy and hurtled towards him.

"Scorching hot, and utterly destructive!" Faced with the fireballs spewed out by the Flame Crane, Wang Mian felt the temperature of the surrounding air rise by dozens of degrees.

Moreover, Wang Mian sensed that the fireball's aura was extremely violent. In other words, the fireball would not burn a person to death after hitting them, but would engulf them and then explode!

Wang Mian dared not be careless and dodged to the side.

Sure enough, the fireball struck the ground like a car exploding. Even Du Wangmian, who was hiding five meters away, was affected by the blast radius, and his clothes were almost completely torn off the front of his body.

This scene was witnessed by Yuan Gang, who happened to be arriving at the scene.

"Holy crap, who the hell brought that rocket launcher?!" Yuan Gang felt a gust of wind above him and looked up.

"Fuck!"

Seeing that its attack had missed, the Flame Crane, flying in the air, continued its pursuit.

The Flame Crane took to the sky and then enveloped its entire body in the power of fire spirit.

"Fire Crane Falls from the Sky!" Its entire body glowing crimson light plummeted straight down from the sky, crashing directly into the King's Face on the ground.

Wang Mian realized what was happening and quickly accelerated to try and dodge again, but the Flame Crane's finishing move was too fast!

Even if Wang Mian used all his time power, he couldn't escape the Fire Crane Fall's lock in a second.

"Boom—" Another violent earthquake shook the room, waking up Lin Qiye and the rest of the Masked Squad, who were far away in the dormitory building.

Lin Qiye quickly got up, wondering if he had made a noise. Suddenly, he looked at the bed next to him.

Baili Pangpang was drooling and muttering something: "Hehehe! Qiye's feet smell so good!" Baili Pangpang's lips curled up in his sleep, as if some evil plan had succeeded.

Lin Qiye: ...For the sake of my innocence, it seems I can't let you live!

"Have you seen the captain?" In another luxurious dormitory, because the special team's missions were unstable and there was always the possibility of high-risk missions or attacks from other enemies, the other members of the team were not far away.

However, just as they were awakened, Whirlpool, who was sleeping with King Face, discovered that King Face was no longer there.

"No, why isn't the captain with you?" Yue Gui asked suspiciously. Before the break, the captain had asked him about Ling Yue's combat situation. Now, there were sounds of battle outside, which made it hard not to be suspicious.

"Let's go outside and look for them. Maybe the captain has had something come up and gone out."

"Alright." The group had lost their sluggishness from just waking up and transformed into the imposing Masked Squad.

"Holy crap!" Yuan Gang, who witnessed the earthquake firsthand, was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.

He looked at the ground with a three-meter-deep crater, finding it hard to believe that such power could be created by someone with the strength of a Zhan Realm cultivator.

At the center of the three-meter-deep crater, Wang Mian had quickly changed into a new set of clothes, but the high temperature of his body still burned the clothes to shreds.

In the end, I could only wear the Night's Watch cloak, thus avoiding achieving the "moonlight bird-walking" achievement.

During this time, Wang Mian quickly considered the next tactics in his mind, and he suddenly realized that his attack methods were too limited.

Ling Yue has so many attack methods, skills, and forms that it's almost inhuman.

Faced with Ling Yue's many forms, Wang Mian felt he had no way to fight back.

"No, there's still a chance!!" Wang Mian was unwilling to admit defeat; he didn't want to fall at Ling Yue's feet without even touching him.

So there's one last way!

Thinking of this, Wang Mian straightened his body again, his eyes once more filled with divine might as he glared at Ling Yue, who had landed and transformed into a stone-armored bear.

"I still have a chance! I am a representative of the gods!"
