Chapter 24

"Nature is real. Ding ding ding... I solemnly introduce to you, Private Bai Tie, Black Mountain Cat, a super cannon defense type warrior, and an expert in area control." Li Wenfu patted Lu Sheng's shoulder with a look that said, 'This guy is 501 a night, if you like him, take him away': "Little Four Eyes is also a master of tactical analysis, calculating even the number of bullets needed halfway through a battle. As a tactical assistant to the auxiliary AI, he can be taken apart and thrown away."

Yin Ling listened, her eyes shining even brighter.

This kind of talent was exactly what she needed at the moment. However, even so, to clear the insect swarm...

"Ding ding ding... I introduce again, Private Bai Tie, the traveler, Du Nan. Du is a special control type warrior, the super violent kind. In our last training, 70% of the insect soldiers were blown up by him. Sister Ling may not know, but Du also has an ice affinity, like Hua, and he is a fusion of a pure water core."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing 'pure water core,' Yin Ling's eyes quickly returned to calm. She glared at Du Nan as if trying to bore a hole through him. At this moment, she was no longer a tsundere girl but more like a seasoned general, exuding an indescribable proud aura, giving off a 'general meets general, king meets king' feeling.

Slowly, she extended her delicate hand.

Yin Ling said in a sweet voice, "Let's get acquainted. I'm Yin Ling. Purple Flame Magic, pure fire core. The Flame Empress on the Azure Domain Network, using a close-combat type mech."

"Sister Ling is the only fire magic warrior on Blue Sea Star, a mutated one, with purple cold flames." Li Wenfu, seeing Yin Ling become serious, quickly added. Looking at her expression... the little witch seemed to have started taking Du seriously because of the 'pure water core.'

"Du Nan, ice magic, pure water core." Du Nan, hearing Yin Ling report her pure fire core, understood her meaning. 'Pure' core fusion was the hardest foundation. Among the countless magic awakeners on Blue Sea Star, only he had managed to fuse a pure water core in the past three hundred years.

Yin Ling's ability to fuse a pure fire core definitely indicated extraordinary talent.

Du Nan didn't know this at the time.

To fuse a pure fire core, Yin Ling had stayed in the White Iron Knights. Otherwise, she would have been only one year behind her elder sister, Jin Ling. Jin Ling was now a five-star Gold Knight, and Yin Ling, at the very least, would be a four-star. To fuse a pure fire core, Yin Ling had been solidifying her foundation until now. In the eyes of the four major powers on Blue Sea Star, Yin Ling would eventually become a top ace like Jin Ling, or even higher.

"I... I... I am..." The shy 'Hua' outside the door stammered, unable to speak.

It seemed that even talking to a boy was a terrifying thing for her.

"She's Ye Binghua, my good friend." Yin Ling, with a look that said, 'This is my type,' pulled Ye Binghua out and introduced her confidently: "Hua is also an ice magic user, with a zero-degree core. On the Azure Domain Network, she uses a sniper-type mech. You must have heard of her name; she is... the Snow Night Person!"

"Ice Mountain Cannon Platform!?"

At the mention of 'Snow Night Person,' Li Wenfu and Lu Sheng both shouted in surprise, their hearts pounding and stepping back involuntarily.

As if they had encountered a fierce beast.

Ye Binghua, seeing their attention, immediately blushed and hid behind Yin Ling.

Du Nan turned his head, his eyes questioning.

Li Wenfu, realizing Du's 'ignorance,' was once again impressed: "Du, you really can't be unaware of the Snow Night Person. This name is a super nova across the entire Blue Sea Star, no, the entire Azure Star Alliance. On the Azure Domain Network, the number one person in the White Iron District is the Snow Night Person. Known as the Ice Mountain Cannon Platform, she is one of the top ten snipers on the entire Azure Domain Network."

"Oh!" Du Nan's reaction was minimal.

Li Wenfu couldn't stand it, thinking that he needed to tutor Du on this basic knowledge: "Du, the Snow Night Person... Hua is a White Iron Knight, a one-star White Iron. Do you know what level the other nine top snipers are? The lowest is a four-star Silver Knight."

"Ah, I see." Du Nan finally showed some reaction.

To be listed alongside nine super-strong individuals at a one-star level was an honor that hadn't been seen in hundreds of years.

Her zero-degree core.

The fusion difficulty was no less than that of a pure water core, making it the best foundation core in the 'ice' category, with no exceptions.

"Introductions are over, let's practice." Yin Ling's fiery temper was gone, and she became decisive. Without waiting for the three to agree, she immediately pulled Ye Binghua, jumped over the building, and shouted loudly: "You have one minute to prepare. If I don't see you online when I enter, I'll come out and castrate you, fatty."

"Why me?"

Li Wenfu, feeling helpless and on the verge of tears, quickly opened the machine and logged into the network.

Inside, he was secretly excited.

He knew Yin Ling's capabilities well: Flame Empress, a ninth-rank White Iron Knight, capable of slaughtering a third-rank Bronze Knight. As a close-combat type warrior, she could fight two ninth-rank White Iron Knights to a standstill with dual swords; with a single giant sword, she could instantly kill any opponent below a seventh-rank White Iron Knight. Having such a close-combat teammate, he, as a shield warrior, would be even more effective.

The other person, the number one Ice Mountain Cannon Platform in the entire Azure Domain Network's White Iron District, was a 'mountain-shooting stone' level genius.

With Du Nan, three strong individuals together.

How far this small team could go... Li Wenfu was excited and full of anticipation, completely forgetting an important matter: one super-genius could already stir up the winds and waves. Three together, would there be any peace? In the unregulated and unrestrained magic network, would these three monsters behave?

Soon, in the magic network.

"Hua, come over here." Lu Sheng, as the area defender, focused on creating a good shooting environment for the sniper: "Aim with confidence, I'll take care of the stingers, not a single one will get through. Once we eliminate the Tail Bee, Du can focus on clearing the Hunter Knife Bugs. We..."

"No need."

Ye Binghua shyly took a few steps back, as if being too close to boys made her afraid.

She raised her gun.

Without even aiming, a loud shot directly sniped the Tail Bee's poison stinger, and with the remaining force, it pierced through its head. One shot, two uses, the Tail Bee, which flew erratically, was like a baby just learning to crawl in front of the Ice Mountain Cannon Platform, completely powerless.

"Good job, Hua. Little Four Eyes, fatty, Du Nan, you three team up to clear the Hunter Knife Bugs. I'll take on the Great Armor Tyrant alone." Yin Ling, with a look that said, 'My tactical level is zero,' gave random commands.

Facing the super-giant armor bug.

She was full of confidence to win alone.

"Sister Ling, no need." Li Wenfu shook his head, his face showing that it was now their turn to do nothing.

Du Nan raised his super-gravity gun, charged for half a minute, and fired three shots into the sky.

The atmosphere changed, like a ten-thousand-pound hammer falling.

The five of them, with their mechs, were not greatly affected by the gravity, but the subordinates of the Great Armor Tyrant were all crushed to pieces under the strong pressure.

"Indeed capable." Seeing Du Nan fire three shots in a row, Yin Ling flashed a look of approval. Her giant sword gradually turned red, like a hot iron. She swung it and threw it, embedding it in the center of the Great Armor Tyrant's eyes. The giant insect howled in pain, and Yin Ling took the opportunity to run close. She drew the sword, turned, jumped, and with a sky-splitting momentum, fiercely slashed down.

This one-on-one battle.

Yin Ling only used one sword stroke, and the Great Armor Tyrant was beheaded, unable to even self-destruct.

"Boring." Yin Ling was not at all satisfied. With the addition of the three new members, the training map that she couldn't pass before was now like a walk in the park: "Hey, Du Nan, what's your rank?"

"Huh?" Du Nan didn't understand.

"First-rank White Iron. Du hasn't started the ranking exams yet; he just tried out the mech today." Li Wenfu quickly explained.

Hearing this, Yin Ling and Ye Binghua looked at him with surprise. On the first day of trying out, he already had this level. Compared to the experienced Lu Sheng, he was far superior. This person would definitely be a 'rival' in the future... interesting!

"Lu Sheng is also a first-rank White Iron, right? Just fused?"

"Um." Lu Sheng nodded.

Yin Ling thought for a moment and said, "Let's skip the simulation training for now. You three should take the ranking exams first. I declare that from today, you are new members of my Silver Leaf Team. Fatty, you've been a fourth-rank for a long time, still indulging Wu Mingzhao, right? Get your rank up, at least to sixth-rank, or you'll embarrass me. Four Eyes, at least third-rank. Du Nan, um, just get any rank. It's fine, that's it."

"Sister Ling..." Li Wenfu was speechless. Why the special treatment for Du?

What about fairness and justice?

Strongly protesting the discrimination against the 'fatty'... I'm not fat, I'm 'imported' with a bit more fat, a bit more inventory, I'll 'export' it eventually.
