What was going on?!
Luo Feng actually let Pan Ya escape back?
Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Li Wei and the others, having heard Pan Ya's desperate cries, looked up.
"It's Pan Ya!"
"What happened?!"
"He's being chased!"
Li Wei, Liu Xi, and Caron all remained indifferent. Pan Ya's fate had nothing to do with them.
Pan Ya was a mid-level general, after all. If he was scared to this degree, then the one chasing him was absolutely no trivial enemy.
Why should they risk provoking an unknown powerhouse just to save someone they weren't close to?
Besides—Jiang Yan was now the captain of the Thunder Squad.
Whether Pan Ya lived or died depended entirely on Jiang Yan's decision.
Janet glanced at Jiang Yan. Seeing his calm, unmoving expression, she immediately adopted the same aloof attitude. This matter had nothing to do with her.
Pan Ya, pale with terror, sprinted toward the six-story building like a madman.
His left hand covered his ear—blood gushed between his fingers. Of the Iron Heads he'd led, none remained.
Seeing Jiang Yan's group ahead, he felt as if he had finally grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Help! Help!!"
He charged forward, screaming.
"Puff!"
A cold gleam flashed from the alley on his left—
A throwing knife shot out, piercing straight through his throat!
Pan Ya's head flew into the air. In the final instant of his life, he saw his own body still stumbling forward before his vision dissolved into darkness.
"It's a Spirit Reader!"
A hundred meters away, Janet cried out, face turning pale.
There were Spirit Reader students in the Elite Training Camp, so she recognized the method instantly—
That throwing knife could only belong to a spiritual master.
Li Wei, Liu Xi, and Caron all turned ashen with horror.
The Huya Squad had actually provoked a Spirit Reader! Thankfully, Jiang Yan had arrived in time and had expelled them from the team.
Otherwise, the Thunder Squad would've been the ones forced to face a spiritual master in future battles.
"I've already revealed my identity. How could I let you live?"
In the alley, Luo Feng stared coldly at the headless corpse.
Then he turned and fled at full speed without looking back—he didn't even retrieve the throwing knife.
The Thunder Squad hadn't discovered his location yet. He needed to leave immediately.
In front of the six-story building.
"What are you all standing around for? Go complete today's mission."
Jiang Yan's calm voice broke the silence.
"Oh—yes, Brother Jiang! We're going now!"
Li Wei jolted back to awareness. After exchanging a look with Liu Xi, the two cautiously hurried toward the iron-haired boar herd's location.
When they arrived, they froze.
Dozens of iron-haired boars lay dead. The corpse of the herd's leader alone was enough to confirm everything.
"Brother Jiang… they're too strong…" Li Wei swallowed hard.
There were only seventy or eighty monsters here, but most were mid-level beast generals.
"A few were killed by blades. Most died from a single shot." Liu Xi exhaled slowly. "The captain uses a war spear. His strength is at least comparable to a junior God of War. No wonder the two masters told us to follow all his instructions."
Liu Xi looked at Li Wei seriously. "Young Master Wei, you should really obey Captain Jiang fully."
He knew Li Wei's personality too well.
Just earlier, Li Wei had acted obedient toward Jiang Yan only because he didn't dare disobey the masters' orders.
"I get it. I don't need you lecturing me." Li Wei snorted. "I just didn't believe someone younger than me could be a high-level general. Naturally I doubted his strength—and resisted my parents' arrangements."
Liu Xi didn't speak further.
No matter what you do, I'll record everything honestly in the experience report.
Including how earlier, you wanted Charon and me to remove Captain Jiang.
Inside the six-story building.
"Honey, why didn't that Spirit Reader take his throwing knife back?" Janet asked, puzzled. Weren't spiritual masters supposed to cherish their throwing knives?
"He didn't want to expose himself in front of us," Jiang Yan said with a light smile.
"That makes sense." Janet nodded.
Caron returned just then. "Captain, Pan Ya's corpse has been dealt with!"
"You worked hard," Jiang Yan said.
Leaving a corpse outside at night would only attract monsters. It wasn't that he feared them—he just wanted a peaceful night's rest.
"Karon," Jiang Yan asked, "aside from the iron-haired boar herd, are there any other strong herds nearby? Preferably without a lord-level monster."
He glanced at his personal information panel:
[Name: Jiang Yan]
[Realm: High-level General (60/100)]
[Body Technique: Perfect (54/100)]
[Knife Technique: Specialization (72/100)]
[Marksmanship: Specialization (93/100)]
[Thunder Flash: Minor Attainment (84/100)]
[Ninefold Thunder Spear: Third Fold (5/100)]
[Ninefold Origin: Major Attainment (19/100)]
After leaving the Southeast Military Region, he had spent three days on the road.
In that time, he and Janet had encountered more than forty waves of monsters.
Naturally, Jiang Yan used every encounter to sharpen his body technique and marksmanship. Because of that, both progress bars had risen rapidly.
Especially his marksmanship—
He was on the verge of the next realm: Perfection.
That was why he wanted a herd.
A large herd.
One he could fire at freely.
That would push his strength forward the fastest!
Lord-level monsters were out of the question—
Their physical toughness was far beyond humans.
A junior lord-level monster was comparable to an intermediate God of War.
Although Jiang Yan's combat strength reached intermediate God of War and his speed junior God of War, he still wasn't suited to fight a lord-level monster head-on.
"Captain, there is such a herd!"
Karon immediately replied, "About three kilometers from here—there's a Griffin Mastiff herd. Around five hundred lion mastiffs, with some tiger mastiffs mixed in. Their leaders are two high-level beast general Griffin Mastiffs!"
"Perfect." Jiang Yan's eyes brightened.
With this Griffin Mastiff herd, his marksmanship would definitely break through to Perfection.
And even if he didn't break through completely, he could certainly push it to 100%.
Either way—excellent.
