The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

Ye Xiao was shocked when he heard the words "back door".

He then thought of everyone's comments about him being a "connected person" when school started.

He shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Stereotypes are truly deadly!

"I didn't use any connections, and I don't think we need to."

"Based solely on our abilities, getting hired shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Su Muyun smiled gently and nodded.

"That's true, we are already very strong."

"However..."

Su Muyun's playful expression came to mind.

She blinked her beautiful eyes, like a fairy twinkling with stars.

"What should I do about your good roommate, Wang Hou?"

"Is he capable of going?"

Ye Xiao let out a long sigh.

"May he have good luck!"

........

That same evening, the preliminary list of recruits for Chiyabao was already released.

There are 55 senior students.

There are 32 third-year students.

There are 11 second-year students.

There are 2 first-year students.

As soon as Ye Xiao returned to his dormitory, he heard Wang Hou howling like a banshee.

"Ugh! This isn't fair! Why wasn't I hired?!"

"Ah Qing! You bastard! Why didn't you help me?!"

"Damn, Xiao-ge, you're back! We're going to settle accounts with him later!"

Ye Xiao watched Wang Hou's pain at failing the exam.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Then he said, "Fatty, I actually think this list is quite normal."

"If you don't get selected, just focus on improving your skills at school and try again next time."

These are the two spots for freshmen.

Unsurprisingly, they were Ye Xiao and Su Muyun.

Indeed, they were the two most capable students in the entire first year of high school.

One is an SSS-level genius sword cultivator, the youngest fifth-realm genius in history!

Another is the super-strong combat power of an E-level martial artist who can achieve a thousand consecutive victories and is invincible against anyone below the seventh realm!

No matter how you choose, it's unlikely that either of these two will be left out.

As for Wang Hou...

Indeed, there weren't many highlights or memorable moments.

Wang Hou stared at Ye Xiao with a resentful expression.

"Brother Xiao, even at a time like this, can't you say something to comfort me?"

"I'm so heartbroken I feel like throwing up!!! Ugh!!!"

Ye Xiao was amused by Wang Hou's funny antics.

"Weren't Wu Xiaorui and Zhao Xiuxiu also not selected?"

"That's because they didn't even register!!!"

"......"

late at night.

Ye Xiao and Wang Hou treated A Qing to skewers at a very popular barbecue restaurant outside the school.

Wang Hou kept pouring wine for A Qing at the table, saying that A Qing wasn't being kind enough by not helping with the business.

But Aqing also had something to say.

He was the only representative sent by the Third Patrol.

At Chiya Fort, each patrol team sent a representative.

If Aqing were to manage Wang Houjin's roster, especially since he is a freshman, the difficulty would be immense.

This doesn't seem like a senior student; it wouldn't matter if one of them got in out of fifty-odd people.

Ye Xiao and Su Muyun, two freshmen, are indeed names that can stand up to public opinion.

If Wang Hou's name were included, it would be far too conspicuous.

After Aqing's explanation...

Wang Hou stopped struggling.

soon.

Wang Hou drank the most alcohol and immediately fell asleep on the table.

Ye Xiao and A Qing both laughed when they saw this.

Ah Qing said, "This kid clearly can't drink, but he pretends to be the best drinker!"

After the joke.

Aqing's face was already flushed with the effects of alcohol.

He suddenly spoke to Ye Xiao in a very serious tone.

"Ye Xiao, do you know why Red Cliff Fortress is suddenly recruiting?"

Ye Xiao shook his head.

"Didn't they say there was a shortage of staff in logistics?"

Aqing nodded: "To be precise, the shortage of logistics personnel is due to many people entering the Crimson Abyss World."

Ye Xiao hadn't reacted yet.

"Oh, they haven't returned from their mission in the Crimson Abyss World yet?"

But at this moment, a look of pain appeared on Aqing's face.

He held his head and lowered it.

"No, they've lost contact!"

Ye Xiao's expression changed instantly at that moment.

"What about our third patrol team?"

Aqing's voice trembled.

"Last time, we were ordered by our superiors to go to the Crimson Abyss World to collect information on special substances. I was supposed to go too, but I wasn't feeling well that time, so I didn't go."

"As a result, that time, everyone in the Third Patrol Team except me lost contact after entering the Crimson Abyss World!"

These words were spoken.

Ye Xiao's face was extremely cold, and his pupils were wide open.

Captain Wei, forty years old, is a veteran with the strength of the sixth realm. He has two parallel scars on his face.

The vice-captain, Da Liu, was in his early thirties, possessed the strength of the sixth realm, and was as strong as an ox, carrying a giant sword imbued with spiritual energy.

Team member Xiao Meng, 27 years old, with the strength of the fifth realm, came here at the same time as A Qing, but he looks very young, like a recent graduate, and is holding a standard spirit sword.

.......

His mind was filled with the impression of his first encounter with the Third Patrol Team.

How could they have lost contact so quickly when this only happened recently?

Ye Xiao's tone became more serious.

"What exactly happened?"

Aqing clutched her head and buried it on the table, completely in pain and under immense pressure.

"I was ordered not to say anything."

"But I'm under a lot of pressure, it's almost driving me crazy."

"If I don't speak out, I'm afraid I might go crazy."

Ye Xiao took a deep breath.

"Ah Qing, tell me, I will never tell anyone."

Mingming Aqing was twenty-seven years old, much older than Ye Xiao.

But Ye Xiao seemed much more mature than A Qing.

In fact, if you include Ye Xiao's age before he transmigrated, he was already older than A Qing.

He came from the same age as Aqing.

I can understand how Aqing feels.

Aqing's voice trembled.

There's a rumor...

"What rumor?"

"Yes, yes... there's a traitor within Red Cliff Fortress!"

After Aqing finished telling him about it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he was immediately plunged into endless regret.

Some words, once spoken, can never be taken back.

Ye Xiao was frighteningly calm.

"Was it because there was a mole that Lao Wei and the others were tricked into entering the Crimson Abyss World, which led to their disappearance?"

Aqing shook her head.

"The mission came from higher-ups; no one at Red Cliff Fortress knew about it beforehand."

Ye Xiao said after analyzing A Qing's words.

"So, it wasn't the mission itself that was malicious, but rather someone took advantage of the time when Lao Wei and his team were carrying out the mission to attack them?"

Aqing was in a state of confusion.

"It wasn't just our third patrol team that lost contact; other patrol team members went on a joint mission at the same time, but they also lost contact."

"That's why there's a huge shortage of personnel at Chiya Fort recently. Captain Zhao has already reported this to the military and requested that soldiers be sent to help guard Chiya Fort."

"But for some reason, reinforcements have been slow to arrive?"
