The vast training ground was reduced to a charred crater, the air thick with the smell of burning coals, and the figures at the bottom of the crater were no longer recognizable.

From the whispered conversation between Yan Li and the people around him, Bai Miao knew that the person at the bottom of the pit was Yin Changfeng, the captain of the second team.

Yun Chuxiu took office and fired his first shot, hitting Yin Changfeng squarely.

But this shot was far too much.

The Special Operations Bureau's training grounds are paved with special psionic materials, capable of withstanding the combat damage of a Tier 3 Card Master.

To melt the entire training ground, how powerful must the psionic energy and how offensive must the cards be to do that?

The members of the second team dared not make any rash moves at the edge of the pit, unlike Jiang Nianqing, who let her subordinates do as they pleased as long as they didn't cause any trouble.

Yun Chuxiu's first move terrified everyone.

At the edge of the pit, Yun Chuxiu, like a villain, said nonchalantly:

"I don't know how Jiang Nianqing manages you, but under me you have to follow my rules."

"Do you understand?" No one responded. Yun Chuxiu curled her lips into a smile as flames erupted from her hand.

"Understood." Someone responded quickly. She extinguished the flames, clapped her hands, and said to the members of the second team, "Send them to the medical department."

Only after Yun Chuxiu left did Yan Li dare to breathe and speak.

"This is our newly appointed director. Brother Bai, you'd better keep your distance from her and go along with her."

The training ground before him was in such a dilapidated state that it was no wonder he was still shaken.

"The captain of the second team was a little rude to her, and he was thrown into the pit."

This attitude is far from lacking.

Bai Miao learned some inside information while chatting with Wei Liang.

When Jiang Nianqing became the director, Yin Changfeng was a strong contender.

Now that Jiang Nianqing is gone, Yin Changfeng feels that he has finally made it through. How could he possibly have a good attitude towards a leader who is parachuted in at this time?

Yun Chuxiu's methods were so violent, most likely because Yin Changfeng had picked a fight, and she simply took the opportunity to establish her authority.

The crowd dispersed after Yun Chuxiu left.

From that day on, the atmosphere at the Secret Service became heavy, like the tension before a storm.

"Pinkball, open the door! Delicious cat cookies are freshly baked."

Early in the morning, there was a knock on Bai Miao's dormitory door. Pinky, a cat, jumped up and opened the door.

Xia Yuebai brought out a plate of freshly baked cookies; the baking tray was slightly warped due to the high temperature.

When Yun Chuxiu established her authority, they were attending classes at Yujiang University and were unable to witness that horrific scene.

"It seems Bai Miao hasn't gotten up yet," Lü Dantong poked her head out from behind her.

After joining Team Six, the two were assigned to dormitories on either side of Bai Miao's dormitory.

Visiting Bai Miao's dormitory had become a habit; before the owner even got up, the two of them started teasing the owner's cat.

Hearing the noise, Bai Miao rubbed his eyes and came out from the inner room. His loose pajamas revealed a large portion of his chest, and his legs were faintly visible under his silk pajama bottoms.

Xia Yuebai and Lü Dantong looked away simultaneously.

Bai Miao poured himself a glass of water, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Xia Yuebai's tone was somewhat unnatural, "How come you're still so relaxed when the captain's assessment is coming up soon? The other captains have all been working hard lately, and they're all training more and more seriously than the last."

"None of them are like me, jumping three levels in psionic power within a month."

After finishing his water, Bai Miao collapsed onto the sofa.

Yun Chuxiu's arrival did indeed have a significant impact on the Special Operations Bureau, but for Bai Miao personally, it actually made things easier.

Jiang Nianqing was transferred to Shenjing City, and no one was watching him practice martial arts every day.

Grandpa Jiang Lingxian was worried that he would lose his skills if he didn't practice, so he asked him to come to the Jiang family every week to check on his progress.

He rotated between the Jiang family, Yujiang University, and the Special Service Bureau.

I also need to visit Bai Guodong often and go home to be with Bai's parents.

At an age when he should be carefree, he was more exhausted than working a beast of burden.

He rotates between several roles: student, junior, team leader, and teacher.

"Shall we go see a movie? Shi Jindai's new movie is showing."

Lü Dantong placed her hands on either side of Bai Miao's head, and she didn't forget Xia Yuebai either.

"Yuebai, you and I have been recommending Shi Jindai to each other for ages. You won't miss her new movie, will you?"

Bai Miao had also heard of Shi Jindai, whom Lü Dantong mentioned; she was a film and television star from Yujiang City.

She didn't debut in Yujiang City, but became famous in Shenjing City. Fans only found out she was from Yujiang after digging into her past.

Becoming a star in the Shenzhou Alliance is not easy; you not only need to be beautiful, but also highly skilled.

"Of course we're going. We'll go by ourselves, without him."

Lu Dantong and Bai Miao got along very naturally, and Xia Yuebai knew she should be happy.

Whether as a friend or a teammate, she should like this kind of atmosphere.

But for some reason, she found the scene before her eyes somewhat jarring.

Bai Miao indeed couldn't go; he received a text message from the bureau requesting a meeting.

When he arrived at the meeting place, Xue Hongyan, Shi Ming and Wei Liang were already there.

The assessment was conducted in two groups, taking turns.

One group entered the secret realm, while the other group was responsible for handling psionic events within Yujiang City.

They are in the second group. The first group consists of Yin Changfeng from Team 2, Gu Feng from Team 3, Lin Ran from Team 7, and Min Hongzhe from Team 8.

Yin Changfeng was covered in wounds, with his right sleeve hanging open, revealing gruesome injuries.

One eye was missing, and the remaining eye gleamed with a light called hatred.

Beside him stood Gu Feng, the captain of the third team who had lost his lower body; the gentle middle-aged man's face was both sorrowful and cold.

Two mutilated bodies covered with white cloth lay to one side. Bai Miao guessed that they were Lin Ran and Min Hongzhe.

The atmosphere was tense. Wei Liang gestured to Bai Miao to remain silent and observe the situation.

Physical injuries can be healed in three to five months using the healing abilities of a card master.

If a person dies, no matter how powerful a healing card master is, they cannot be brought back to life.

Yin Changfeng questioned Yun Chuxiu, "In previous years' team leader assessments, there has never been such a drastic change!"

"The spiritual realm for this captain's assessment was chosen after you took office."

Yin Changfeng was furious and blurted out whatever came to mind:

"You can be unhappy with me, I, Yin Changfeng, accept that. I just want to be the director, and I just want to compete with you."

"I, Yin Changfeng, will accept whatever treatment you give me!"

"But you can't harm others just because you're targeting me!"

At the end of the conversation, Yin Changfeng coughed up blood, and the medical card specialist who arrived at the scene immediately provided him with emergency treatment.

Field Affairs Department Chief Ke Yuan was in a difficult position, trying to mediate between Yin Changfeng and Yun Chuxiu.

He couldn't help but feel resentful towards Yun Chuxiu after the field operations department suffered such a heavy blow.

The other captains remained silent. The Secret Service had lost two captains; this was no small matter.

Any extremist organization that carries out this action will face a brutal purge by the Secret Service the very next day.

Now, this kind of thing is happening during the team leader assessment, and Yun Chuxiu, who is in charge of the assessment, is the first to be affected.

Whether it was her intentional arrangement or not, she has to take responsibility.

Bai Miao observed Yun Chuxiu's expression, wanting to know how she would deal with this situation.

He had expected to see heaviness and anger on Yun Chuxiu's face, but to his surprise, she only showed excitement.

That's the kind of expression a predator at the top of the food chain would show when faced with provocation from a lower predator.

"You want an explanation? Fine, I'll give you an explanation."
