Chapter 420: Chapter 225: An Unexpected Process, The Formation of the First Special Squad!

"Referee, this monk surrenders!"

Boom—!

Although it was expected, the surrender of this last strong contestant still struck like a massive stone cast into a calm lake, causing great waves before quickly settling into a numb quiet.

It’s over.

Fang Qingyu, by crushing all the way through, even forcing his opponents to voluntarily give up, ascended to the top without spilling any blood.

At the center of the massive Celestial Stage, the Eight Diagram Rune slowly ceased rotating.

Mingri Mountain’s Mountain Master, Real Person Xuan Cheng, slowly stood up. His gentle and harmonious voice, imbued with supreme authority, clearly echoed in every person’s ears:

"After this battle, the first place is beyond dispute."

His gaze swept across the venue, finally landing on the calm black figure among the Dragon Abyss Pavilion’s seats.

"I announce!"

"The first captain’s position for the Hidden Dragon Plan special team belongs to..."

"Fang Qingyu!"

The voice fell, like a thunderclap, yet carried an air of unquestionable calmness.

After a brief silence.

Boom—!!!

A huge uproar erupted once again!

This time, it was no longer shock, but a fervor following the settling of dust!

"God Fang! Captain!!"

"Truly deserved! Absolutely deserved!"

Countless eyes instantly focused on Fang Qingyu, filled with extreme awe, admiration, and barely concealed fervor!

The captain’s position was confirmed!

But there were still member positions!

To join the special team led by Fang Qingyu meant access to the top resources of the Federation and the strongest support from teammates.

And... the glory of following this monstrous captain in battles!

That’s someone who could knock out Jing Wuya with a single punch!

Following him, the safety factor and rewards are simply immeasurable!

At this moment, any pride from noble lineages or distinctions of Pocket World Blessed Land were cast aside.

To be able to join Fang Qingyu’s team was the biggest victory!

Fang Qingyu felt those countless burning gazes, yet his expression remained calm, as if he had already anticipated all of this.

He stood up, slightly nodding toward the direction of the elevated platform in acknowledgment.

Real Person Xuan Cheng slightly nodded in return, continuing: "Next, we will hold a ring challenge competition to determine the second and third places, who will receive the remaining two captain positions! All who made it to the top 32 can participate in the challenge!"

The rules for the ring competition are simple: hold the ring.

The two who stand on the ring the longest without being challenged, or are undefeated, are the winners.

The first ring master will be decided by a draw.

Soon, a Martial Artist with a fierce aura took the stage first, and the ring holding began!

Intense battles erupted once again on the Celestial Stage.

For the precious captain positions, the remaining talents held nothing back, with powerful Martial Techniques, Divine Arts, and True Intent clashing, making for a dazzling spectacle, with Qi Force surging throughout.

Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei sat in the seats of the Dragon Abyss Pavilion, watching the intense battle below in silence.

Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan had encountered strong enemies in the earlier round of 32 to 16 battles, and after a hard-fought struggle, they had regretfully lost. Now, they were seated and watching, their blood boiling with excitement, occasionally offering low-voiced comments.

However, Fang Qingyu’s gaze was drawn to Wei Banmeng, sitting quietly beside him.

She had also made it to the top 8 but was not eager like the others to participate in the upcoming ring challenges.

She just sat there quietly, her cold eyes watching the intense battle on stage, her expression calm and indifferent, as if what they were fighting for was not a precious captain position, but a play unrelated to her.

Fang Qingyu felt a little curious and quietly asked, "Aren’t you going to compete?"

Wei Banmeng turned her head slowly upon hearing this.

On her usually expressionless cold face, the corners of her mouth curved into an almost imperceptible arc, like a snow lotus quietly blossoming on an iceberg.

She didn’t answer immediately.

Instead, she glanced at Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan beside her, who also looked over.

Chu Kuanglan grinned, winking at Fang Qingyu. Lu Jiuyuan also nodded slightly, his eyes full of knowing humor.

Only then did Wei Banmeng look back at Fang Qingyu, her cool voice carrying an unusually rare and almost playful tone clearly into Fang Qingyu’s ears:

"I wonder... does your team still need members?"

Fang Qingyu was slightly taken aback.

This turn of events was somewhat unexpected for him.

He had indeed thought of inviting them before, but they seemed eager to compete for the captain positions, so he had said nothing.

Unexpectedly...

Seeing Wei Banmeng’s eyes, usually cold but now with a hint of seriousness and expectation, and looking at Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan’s knowing smiles.

Fang Qingyu suddenly understood.

Their goal from the beginning was not to compete for those distant and fiercely contested captain positions.

Their goal, from start to finish, was to join his team!

A warm surge gently filled Fang Qingyu’s heart.

His face slowly blossomed into a sincere smile, nodding vigorously, his voice steady and clear:

"Yes!"

"Of course, we need more!"

The coldness in Wei Banmeng’s eyes seemed to melt away in an instant, turning into a gentle and warm spring.

She stood up, extending that hand, white as jade and once wielding a blade to slay enemies, towards Fang Qingyu.

The movement held a rare solemnity, yet carried an imperceptible lightness.

"Then..."

Her voice remained crisp, yet carried a rare, girlish agility.

"In the future, please, Captain..."

"Take good care of us."

Fang Qingyu looked at the hand extended before him.

Then raised his head to see that rare playfulness and warmth in Wei Banmeng’s eyes.

Without hesitation, he extended his hand, firmly gripping that slightly cool yet strong hand.

"Take good care of us."

Their hands clasped firmly in the air.

Chu Kuanglan laughed heartily, slapping his thigh: "Haha! Great! So good! Following God Fang, we’ll live in luxury!"

Lu Jiuyuan also laughed and shook his head, his eyes full of anticipation.

Jiang Wei lifted her little face, her clear big eyes lingering for a moment on the clasped hands of Fang Qingyu and Wei Banmeng, before she lowered her head again, sucking on her lollipop, her cheeks bulging slightly.

The wind at the mountaintop gently passed, rustling the bamboo forest as if forming the backdrop.

The massive Celestial Stage still hosted intense battles, dazzling lights and surging Qi Force resonating.

Yet among the seats in the Dragon Abyss Pavilion.

Fang Qingyu, Jiang Wei, Wei Banmeng, Chu Kuanglan, and Lu Jiuyuan.

Five silhouettes sat together. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
