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

“Ling Yue is right here, I’ll have him get the phone right away,” Yuan Gang replied, then handed the special Night Watchman phone to Ling Yue.

Looking at the name "Commander-in-Chief Ye Fan" in his phone's contact list, Ling Yue suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. After all, when he transmigrated, there was very little information about the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Dynasty. He could only understand what kind of person Ye Fan was based on the few words he heard about him in the original story.

"Hello, Commander Ye, I am Ling Yue, the owner of the Five Spirit Locks." Ling Yue's voice was respectful yet dignified, clearly aiming to establish himself as a humble and self-reliant young man in front of the Commander-in-Chief, whose current strength was entirely due to his own 'efforts'.

Ye Fan was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then his words completely disrupted what Ling Yue had prepared in his mind.

"Ling Yue, right? Although I only know about you from other people, I think I know you pretty well, so let's get straight to the point and there's no need for all that nonsense."

Ling Yue felt as if six crows were flying through his mind, and he glared fiercely at Yuan Gang, who looked completely innocent to the side.

Yuan Gang looked completely innocent. He had only mentioned one or two things about Ling Yue to Ye Fan occasionally; it really wasn't him.

"Alright, let's get straight to the point. Lao Deng, what do you want?" Ling Yue picked up his phone, sat in Yuan Gang's office chair, and crossed his legs.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gang's eyes widened in disbelief. What?! Old Deng?! He couldn't have misheard, could he?! This kid Ling Yue actually called Commander Ye "Old Deng"?!

Ye Fan, on the other end of the phone, was clearly surprised by Ling Yue's audacity. After silently chanting a few prayers, he asked, "Do you think you can transform into the Five Spirit King? And how strong would you be after transforming into the Five Spirit King?"

"Hmm... My Five Elements Lock transformation can boost all my strength by one major stage. I haven't transformed into my current mecha form yet, but I'm certain that the Five Elements King form will boost my strength by at least two major stages!"

"Hiss!" Although Ye Fan was somewhat prepared, he still couldn't help but be surprised after hearing Ling Yue's confirmation. His entire strength had increased by two major realms! And he was on the side of their Great Xia—a title that no Western deity's representative could ever replace.

"Then... will there be any side effects?" Ye Fan asked somewhat nervously.

"I don't know yet if it hasn't changed. Why don't you come over and I'll transform in front of you?" Ling Yue pondered for a moment and then decided not to make empty promises to Ye Fan, so he told the truth.

"No need, just tell me when you find out."

"So, can you tell me now what your purpose is in contacting me? It can't just be that you want to know my abilities, can it?"

Ye Fan was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "I want you to become the captain of the sixth special team and lead the Great Xia to survive in this pure land."

"Hmm, that sounds nice, but what do I get in return?" Ling Yue picked at his ear and asked impatiently.

"Money, contraband, power... none of that matters once you become the captain of the special squad." Ye Fan stated without hesitation what he could offer, even attempting to awaken Ling Yue's sense of responsibility.

"Besides... with great power comes great responsibility. Don't you want to become a hero who saves the Great Xia?"

Ling Yue suddenly felt that Ye Fan said this sentence very skillfully, as if he had used this sentence to deceive people many times.

"Commander-in-Chief Ye."

"Hmm?" Ye Fan was a little puzzled, not understanding why Ling Yue was suddenly being so polite.

"Why don't we talk about this later? Right now, I'm just a nobody in Chuanjing. Isn't it too early to say so much?"

......

Silence. There was absolute silence on the other end of the phone.

Finally, Ye Fan slowly spoke:

"it is good."

Without waiting for Ye Fan to say anything more, Ling Yue hung up the phone.

Yuan Gang, who had overheard the entire conversation, stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that Ling Yue had actually refused Commander-in-Chief Ye's personal invitation. If it were him asking him to form a special team, he probably would have agreed long ago.

"Ling Yue, you... you just rejected Commander Ye's invitation?! Do you even know what the words 'Special Team' mean?"

"I know." Ling Yue's calm reply infuriated Yuan Gang.

"Since you already know this, why won't you agree?! Aren't you afraid Commander-in-Chief Ye will make things difficult for you?"

Ling Yue chuckled upon hearing this. He had assumed that Yuan Gang held Ye Fan in high esteem, but he hadn't expected Yuan Gang to say something like that.

Seeing Ling Yue's expression, Yuan Gang quickly added, "But don't worry, Commander-in-Chief Ye Fan isn't that kind of person. He's usually quite easygoing."

Ling Yue was touched by Yuan Gang's concern for him and decided not to hide anything from him.

"Instructor Yuan Gang, do you know why there's an undercover agent among the instructors this time?"

“I know. With coercion and enticement, someone will always be able to infiltrate.” Yuan Gang’s tone was somewhat somber upon hearing this, clearly concerned about the fact that there was a mole among his instructors.

"And what else? Don't you know there are spies in the upper echelons of the Great Xia?" Ling Yue gave Yuan Gang a meaningful look. This was also the reason why Ling Yue didn't join the sixth special team. It was because he knew that there were spies in the original story, but he didn't know who they were that was so wary of.

After all, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark; everyone understands this principle. Of course, he might agree if asked to join Lin Qiye's main character group.

"And then what? The higher-ups will find out that there are moles. If you join the special team..." Yuan Gang was about to mentally prepare Ling Yue for the worst, but Ling Yue interrupted him with his words.

"Instructor Yuan Gang, why are you so fixated on this special team? Can't you be a little bolder, like aiming for the ceiling of humanity?" Ling Yue's words left Yuan Gang speechless. He wanted to tell him not to be so ambitious, but seeing Ling Yue's unyielding attitude, he kept quiet.

"Okay, you have ambition, keep it up!" Yuan Gang then walked out of the office, leaving Ling Yue alone sitting in the chair.

Ling Yue closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He never expected that yesterday he was an ordinary Chi Jing who had never even heard the Commander-in-Chief's words, but now he had transformed into a special ability user who refused the Commander-in-Chief's personal invitation. The difference between the two was really too great.

"Aili System." Ling Yue didn't speak this time, but silently recited it in his mind.

The Ai Li System did not appear in reality, but rather in Ling Yue's mind.
