In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 62, Preparations Before Departure

living room.

After Lin Ran asked the question, she noticed that everyone was looking at her, and Yun Zhu and Meng Yu even blushed.

He paused for a second, then realized the reason, and then...

"If someone's arm is injured, and only the injury to the hard bones is healed, ignoring the joints, but this gives them the illusion of recovery, what will happen when they circulate large amounts of spiritual energy again?"

Nangong Yu was slightly taken aback, her eyebrows curved slightly, the corners of her mouth turned up, and her expression softened even more.

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, leaned slightly forward towards Lin Ran, and made an apologetic gesture.

"Captain, I apologize for my evil thoughts. What you said makes a lot of sense, and I can do it."

"Evil thoughts...you've all misunderstood?"

Lin Ran suddenly realized something and looked around at everyone.

Everyone looked away, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.

Lin Ran smiled and skipped over it.

"That's good since you can do it. As for the timing, you'll have to figure that out yourself, and you'll need to work with Ling Qiqi to be responsible for healing everyone in the team. Are there any major problems?"

"No problem." Nangong Yu smiled gently again, her gaze fixed on Lin Ran's eyes.

Next up is Mengyu, this food-loving, flat-chested, emotionless catgirl.

She pondered for a moment and said, "I can manipulate dark aura to consume a part of Trist's connection with the Tree of Life. Elves are delicious, but they need time to digest."

Lin Ran: No wonder you're such a foodie.

"Then you find the right opportunity, and fight normally at other times."

"Okay." Mengyu nodded expressionlessly.

Finally, there's Yunzhu, who's next to Lin Ran.

She was wearing a black school uniform with a short suit skirt, and the tie in front of her chest was pushed up very high.

She said uncertainly,

"After my breakthrough, I'll be a single fire-type, which should be able to limit the abilities of Pokémon?"

"Single fire..."

Lin Ran pondered, realizing this was rather awkward.

His combat strength is inferior to his, and his special abilities are inferior to others.

How compatible are they?

"Um……"

Yunzhu nervously displayed the flames.

A ball of crimson fire emerged from the outstretched palm, twisting and turning before transforming into a cat, then into a bird… each transformation was incredibly lifelike.

Lin Ran brought her hand closer until she grasped the Flame Sparrow, but she didn't feel any heat.

His eyes lit up.

"Let's test the adsorption effect."

He released the earth's spiritual energy, and the flames scattered, attaching to the earth's spiritual energy and turning the same color.

Lin Ran withdrew her spiritual energy and created an energy sphere to envelop the fire spiritual energy.

"Detonate."

boom!

The energy sphere formed from the earth's spiritual energy instantly expanded to nearly double its diameter, with the internal spiritual energy becoming violently chaotic.

Lin Ran nodded in satisfaction, then closed her five fingers to extinguish the chaotic spiritual energy.

"Excellent, very good at concealment. Don't reveal this ability after the operation begins; wait for the right opportunity to use it."

Yunzhu visibly relaxed, and the tail wrapped around Lin Ran's wrist tightened even more.

"Triss is no match for the Tree of Life on her own. She will definitely communicate with it. Let's set the time for her to do so when she does."

"I specialize in eye techniques, focusing on Trist, followed by bodyguards, and other arrangements will be made as needed."

After Lin Ran finished speaking, she looked at Yan Lingfei.

"We're still short two of the three protectors. Could you perhaps have your grandfather come?"

"Let me ask."

Yan Lingfei contacted him for a while, then shook her head.

"Grandpa has a more important task."

"Where are the others?"

Lin Ran looked around at everyone.

Zhou Yu said, "You can call me Master, but her personality is a bit strange."

"No problem. Applying to be a protector is just in case, it doesn't necessarily mean I have to take action," Lin Ran said.

Clouds and bamboo are pierced and dyed by the forest.

"Brother Lin, Elder Qingmeng said she can."

Lin Ran was taken aback, and it took her a while to remember.

Qingmeng is the elder leading the exchange team of the Cat-Human race in the Mother Realm of the Human Race.

The two had met once before because of something involving cult members.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, senior."

Lin Ran thought for a moment, then took out the communication crystal and contacted Chang Fei.

Chang Fei had contacted him before; he had brought a group of newly awakened high school seniors to join in the excitement of the secret realm.

"Teacher Chang, my team is about to carry out a very dangerous decapitation mission, and we'd like to apply for three extraordinary individuals as a precaution. We're still short one. Do you have any recommendations?"

Chang Fei: "Here, this is her communication channel. I'll tell her, and you can contact her again later."

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

Chang Fei: "Be careful, it's okay if the mission fails."

"it is good."

I waited for a while.

Lin Ran contacted the extraordinary person Chang Fei mentioned.

"My name is Lin, and I'm currently at Garrison Number Three. Tell me before you leave."

"Thank you, Senior Lin."

"Call me 'sister'."

"Thank you, Sister Lin."

Lin Ran put away the communication crystal, pondered for a moment, and then his spiritual power surged between his brows, transforming into identical silver runes that flew to the front of everyone.

"The mental communication imprint can be used within a range of approximately ten kilometers, and will be used for the team's secret communications in the future."

The group accepted the mark and placed it on different parts of their bodies.

Lin Ran attempted to communicate, and then used her spiritual energy to display the text.

"One two three three two one, one two three four five two one, please reply 3 if you hear me completely."

"3" * 7

"The cat-people's superhumans are outsiders. From now on, outsiders will be excluded from the plan and will not be trusted unless absolutely necessary."

"Received." *7

Yunzhu and Mengyu showed no unusual expression.

Lin Ran nodded slightly, then touched the ring again and took out a batch of technological creations.

"One set each for each person: a late-stage passive shield generator, an active accelerator, and an active aura shield."

Distribute the equipment.

"The armor application can't be approved yet, but it should be fine after beheading Trist. Can you help me think of anything else I've missed?"

Nangong Yu said softly, "Spare clothes."

"Oh, right, I asked Lin Sheng to prepare more."

Lin Ran clapped his hands. He didn't really care about whether he had clothes or not, but others didn't.

"Wait until the mission is over... No, we can't plant this kind of flag."

Everyone: ...

soon.

Lin Sheng delivered thirty sets of clothes to each person according to their size.

Lin Ran was provided with ten identical sets of black sportswear and ten sets of black martial arts uniforms.

The prices of clothing-related technological products are too high, so they have to buy them themselves, and even after discounts, they are still very expensive.

The team's communal vault was not yet in place, so Lin Ran put that matter aside for later.

"Okay, let's set off without leaving anything behind."

After everyone boarded the hovercar, Lin Ran asked for the contact information of several extraordinary individuals, informing them that they were about to depart.

The four extraordinary individuals simply replied without any intention of meeting, which Lin Ran didn't mind.

The hovercraft flew outwards from the base.

Lin Ran wiped the ring-pommel sword, thinking it was really useful. She planned to forge an entry-level version when she got back.

"Um?"

Lin Ran suddenly looked out the window. They were about to leave the base, but a hovercar was catching up with them.

The figure moved.

Lin Ran arrived at the top of the floating vehicle, looked at the approaching vehicle, and controlled her spiritual energy to condense into a line to transmit her voice.

"We are on a classified mission. Please identify yourself."
