The scene suddenly fell into silence.

The corners of Wang Mian’s mouth twitched under his mask, and Rose’s fists clenched. The expressions of the instructors present were also extremely wonderful!

Only the new recruits stood there dumbfounded, unable to comprehend.

Is this kneeling? Is it? No way!

What is he doing?

They might have guessed what happened, but they didn’t dare to think in that direction. They were trying to find a reasonable explanation for everything they saw…

Come on, this is the “Mask”, how could they make such a low-level mistake?!

Everyone’s gaze fell on the figure of the whirlpool.

The whirlpool knelt there, took a second to recognize reality, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly raised his hands…

And bowed to the new recruits.

“Whirlpool of the Mask Squad, I wish you all a good year!”

After speaking, he stood up with a swish, proudly standing there, pretending that nothing had happened.

Lin Qiye:…

Baili Pangpang thought for a moment and leaned close to Lin Qiye’s ear seriously, “Qiye, do you think… this instructor couldn’t afford the real Mask Squad and hired a high-quality imitation instead?”

“…I don’t think so.” Lin Qiye’s gaze fell on Wang Mian, who was at the forefront of the seven people, and his expression gradually became serious.

Lin Qiye could feel a faint divine might emanating from the man on the stage.

Others might not sense it, but Lin Qiye could.

Because they were all agents of the gods.

At the same time, Wang Mian on the stage seemed to have noticed Lin Qiye’s presence, and their gazes met.

After a moment, Wang Mian looked away and slowly finished his lines:

“We are the Special Mask Squad.”

The crowd gasped!

The corners of Yuan Gang’s mouth slightly curved upwards, and his voice echoed in the training ground once again:

“Since you don’t accept it, I’ll give you a chance, a chance to recognize yourselves, a chance to truly encounter top talents!

It is currently 2:30 in the afternoon. Before 9 o’clock tonight, all 239 of you new recruits, no matter what means you use, as long as you can remove the mask of any member of the Mask Squad, you win!

If you win, it proves that you are indeed amazing, and there is no need for this year’s training. I will apply for your graduation tomorrow!

But if no one can do it before 9 o’clock, then throw all your ridiculous pride and arrogance into the toilet for me! No matter what requirements we propose during the training, you must follow them!!

Understand?!”

Upon hearing Yuan Gang’s words, the new recruits exploded!

Soon, someone protested, “This is unfair! They are mostly ‘Chuan’ or ‘Hai’ realm powerhouses, while we are all ‘Zhan’ realm. How can we fight?”

“In this battle, all members of the Mask Squad will suppress their own realm to the ‘Zhan’ realm!

With the same realm, 239 people against 7!

Are you… afraid?!”

The whole scene was in an uproar!

Everyone was in the ‘Zhan’ realm, so there was no fundamental difference in strength. The only factors left were tactics, strategy, and combat skills. Even if the members of the Mask Squad were famous powerhouses for many years, there were still 239 of them!

They could overwhelm them with sheer numbers, right?!

The new recruits’ breathing became rapid!

Just the disparity in numbers alone meant that there was no reason for them to lose!

If they won… not only could they skip this year’s training, but they would also gain a lot of face!

“Good!”

“I agree!”

“It’s a deal!”

“…”

The atmosphere among the new recruits was ignited, and they stared intently at the seven figures in gray clothes on the stage.

As if sensing their high fighting spirit, Wang Mian narrowed his eyes and calmly said:

“To deal with you… we don’t need all seven people.

We only need five people to crush all of you!”

When this statement came out, the emotions of the new recruits were once again ignited, and they fiercely responded to Wang Mian’s provocation, creating chaos in the entire scene.

“Are they being so arrogant?” Baili Pangpang asked in surprise.

“They are not being arrogant, quite the opposite. They are pursuing caution,” Lin Qiye shook his head.

Baili Pangpang was taken aback, “They only need five people to defeat all of us, isn’t that arrogant?”

“The rules of this battle state that removing the mask of any one of them counts as a win. So the more people they send out, the higher the possibility of losing,” Lin Qiye continued to explain when he saw that Baili Pangpang didn’t understand.

“A team of seven people will undoubtedly have their own strengths and weaknesses. Once these weaknesses are exposed, there is a high chance of them being broken under the collective attack of 239 people. But if all the weaknesses are left outside the field from the beginning, then there won’t be this problem.”

“You mean… they are worried that some team members are not good at fighting, so they simply don’t let them participate, eliminating their weaknesses?”

“That’s the idea.”

“In that case, they are actually wary of us? We have a good chance of winning?”

“Not necessarily.” Lin Qiye glanced at the excited crowd in front of him and calmly said, “Although we have the advantage in numbers, we are just a group of uncoordinated individuals. In this situation, the number becomes our disadvantage.

The five members of the Mask Squad are like sharp blades, while the 239 of us are just a pile of loose sand.”

“Alright…” Baili Pangpang sighed.

“Whether we can defeat the Mask Squad doesn’t depend on how many people we have… but on how many smart people we have.” Lin Qiye’s gaze swept over the new recruits around him.Yuan Gang saw that the crowd below had gathered their momentum and spoke, “The weapons you need can all be found in the warehouse. The next seven hours belong to you!

Don’t worry about how many facilities you destroy or how many buildings you damage. No matter what state you leave this place in, we can restore it…

Now… let me see what you’re capable of.”

After Yuan Gang finished his last sentence, he turned and left with the other instructors.

“Let’s stick to the original plan. I, Vortex, Rose, Balance, and Moon Ghost will go up. The rest of you can go back and rest.” Wang Mian turned to the other two members and spoke. They then followed the instructors and left.

In the end, only 239 recruits and the five members of Mask were left in the entire field.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

All the recruits looked maliciously at the five members of Mask on the stage. From the crowd, someone raised a hand and asked, “Excuse me, when can we start?”

Balance gave a slight smile, extended a finger, and pointed at the crowd.

The next moment, the one who asked the question felt as if he had been hit in the chest by an invisible hammer. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying!

Amidst the chaos, Wang Mian spoke in a low voice, “Wasn’t the instructor clear enough just now?

From two o’clock to nine o’clock, which means…

It has already started.”
