Almost the very next second after Jiang Yuan took down his opponent, Chi Zhongyue also stabbed her opponent's head with her sword, causing it to explode.
Compared to Jiang Yuan's opponent, Chi Zhongyue's opponent died in a much more miserable state.
He had at least a dozen sword wounds on his body, one foot was cut off, and finally his head was gone.
Chi Zhongyue's beautiful, pure deer-like eyes were now filled with satisfaction and excitement, making Jiang Yuan's heart tremble.
But to be honest, these two fanatics were indeed very weak.
Jiang Yuan easily killed one, and even the seriously injured Chi Zhongyue took down one just as easily.
Ordinary fanatics and professionals, especially Redeemers and Hunters among professionals, were truly not on the same level.
Seeing that two people were taken down so quickly here, Wang Dama thought for a moment, then waved to Hu Zhengfeng: "Zheng Feng, I'll leave this person to you."
"You've stayed at Early Second Rank for too long. Let's see if you can break through to First Rank in one go this time."
Hu Zhengfeng wouldn't be polite. A small Early First Rank wouldn't be much help to someone like Wang Dama who was at Middle Second Rank.
It would be better to let Hu Zhengfeng gain more. If Jiang Yuan's group became stronger, it would not only provide better protection for him, but she wouldn't have to run around personally every time either.
She was already quite old. It was tiring!
Lin Le, Wang Rou, and the two unfamiliar men and women all showed a hint of envy in their eyes.
Don't think that whether it's fanatics or Breakers of Illusions, as long as you kill enemies from opposing forces, you can obtain corresponding redemption power or demonic power.
It seems like using this method to become stronger should be very fast.
But that's only in theory!
Everyone has bottlenecks.
Even though Jiang Yuan had the Unbelievable and could seemingly break through whenever he wanted as long as he had enough survival points, that wasn't actually the case.
He hadn't encountered a bottleneck yet because all three of his attributes were at maximum for Early Third Rank!
If you don't reach the maximum state, it's fine to force a breakthrough with the Unbelievable, but the future is uncertain.
Because all three of his attributes were at the current maximum, naturally there was no such thing as a bottleneck.
Others were different.
Very, very, very few people could reach the maximum state in all three attributes at their current realm.
Bottlenecks naturally appeared.
This was just one of the reasons.
Another important reason was: do you think fanatics are so easy to kill?
Are you kidding!
Unless they come to you themselves, but if they come to you, it means you've probably already been exposed.
Like those people who were hunted by fanatics these past few days!
If fanatics don't come to you, try going out to hunt them yourself?
The security guards aren't just sitting around doing nothing!
When Jiang Yuan killed the male-female bandits and Xiong Yong, Wang Rou and the other Supporters from the team had already made preparations from the beginning.
The surveillance cameras along the way were cleaned up immediately.
After killing them, Wang Dama even requested support from other teams in Group Three and the branch to help Jiang Yuan cover up.
It was even very likely that a Disguiser holding an important position in Sushan City was used to help cover up!
You have to know that every time a Disguiser is used, they risk great exposure!
Otherwise, do you really think that after killing someone in the street, no security guards will come looking for you?
Therefore, bottlenecks plus the need to use a lot of various resources every time someone is killed resulted in very, very few opportunities to kill fanatics and receive redemption power rewards.
As a team leader, Hu Zhengfeng's talent might not be that strong, but his strength was definitely top-notch.
Even though the opponent was at Early First Rank, after paying the price of seven wounds on his body, Hu Zhengfeng successfully beheaded him on the spot.
While Hu Zhengfeng was killing, Jiang Yuan and Chi Zhongyue were already digesting the redemption power rewards from their kills.
There would be no breakthrough.
Jiang Yuan was still a bit away from the perfect state of Early Third Rank.
Perhaps it was his obsessive-compulsive disorder at work, or maybe his perfectionism.
He decided that starting from Early Third Rank, for every subsequent realm, he wanted to reach the most perfect state before breaking through to the next realm!
What is the most perfect state?
It means making his current strength flawless, and his mastery of his current strength reaching the peak of perfection.
Only then could he ensure invincibility at every stage!
And there would be no bottlenecks at all in the future!
A large amount of redemption power was controlled by Jiang Yuan to temper his body.
The awkward feeling that had come from his three attributes increasing too quickly began to slowly fade.
Strength, endurance, and speed, with the help of redemption power, completely merged with his body.
The three stagnant values began to grow on their own!
The maximum value for all three attributes at Early Third Rank is 30 points.
But that doesn't mean you can't continue to grow after reaching the maximum!
Not long after.
All the redemption power was completely consumed.
To others, Jiang Yuan's approach was simply extravagant beyond measure.
But for Jiang Yuan, the reward of redemption power was more like an additional gift.
A means to help him consolidate his realm and strength.
What was truly amazing was the survival points rewarded by the Unbelievable!
The Unbelievable's survival points were the foundation for him to become stronger.
Jiang Yuan was done here, but Chi Zhongyue was still absorbing.
Her soul strength wasn't as strong as his, and she was absorbing the redemption power into her own realm, so it was normal for her to be slower.
And like Hu Zhengfeng, she planned to use this opportunity to see if she could break through to Early First Rank in one go.
They would have to wait.
"Jiang Yuan, let me introduce you."
Taking advantage of this time, Wang Dama first patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder in satisfaction and said: "These people are specially assigned to you by the branch!"
"Second Squad currently has too few members, and you're about to go on a mission. If nothing unexpected happens, more people will join later."
"But don't worry, I will personally vet all these people. I won't let any spies slip through."
After explaining, she began to introduce them. First, the silent, stern young man: "Lu Zhongyou, former member of Group Two's First Squad, Supporter, and one of the few survivors of Group Two's annihilation incident."
"He survived because he happened to be assigned to a support mission that day and stayed in a safe house."
After Wang Dama finished introducing him, Lu Zhongyou nodded to Jiang Yuan with a serious and solemn expression: "Captain, my name is Lu Zhongyou, Early Second Rank Supporter."
"Hello, my name is Jiang Yuan."
Jiang Yuan responded, then pointed to Hu Zhengfeng who was still cultivating and absorbing: "Also, he's the captain of our Second Squad, not me."
Lu Zhongyou shook his head and didn't say more.
But Wang Dama smiled helplessly and explained: "Alright, I originally planned to tell you after this matter is over, or before you go to the provincial capital."
Wang Dama's expression became serious, or rather, for the first time, she had an extremely serious expression as she said in a deep voice: "Just yesterday."
"Higher-ups have already assigned you a mission."
"And you, if you accept this mission, from this moment on, you will become a registered Disguiser with a top-secret file!"
"At the same time, you will automatically be promoted to the captain of your squad!"
"You will have your own Shadow Guardian!"
"Of course, you will know nothing about who your Shadow Guardian is, what identity they have, or how they appear by your side."
"Or rather, besides the Shadow Guardian themselves and the Shadow Guardian team, no one knows who your Shadow Guardian is."
"These two are the team members."
"If you accept the mission, more team members will join later, totaling a full squad for you!"
"So..."
"Do you want to hear about this mission first?"
Jiang Yuan's heart trembled.
