Xu Fan finally had a period of leisure, free from disturbances and living a peaceful life.
During this time, he taught the security team the “Xuan Yi Battle Technique”.
This battle skill, a profound cooperative fighting art, allows those who wield it to exhibit greater might with an increasing number of practitioners.
Despite the rapid increase in the strength of the security team, the enemies Xu Fan faced had jumped a whole level, and they were seldom of much use.
Having no choice, Xu Fan could only teach them the “Xuan Yi Battle Technique”.
He believed that with diligent cultivation and increasingly tacit cooperation, their combat power would become even more formidable.
It’s worth mentioning that in the past few days, Zhou Xian had invited another group of former comrades-in-arms to Zhonghai.
...
After formal interviews and strict assessments, most of them qualified to stay as reserves for the security team, adding up to about thirty people.
Once these individuals were ready to contribute, Yifan Security’s team would have more than fifty formal members, a force not to be underestimated.
Given time, they would surely become renowned worldwide.
To Xu Fan’s delight, there were indeed female members among the new reserves this time, as many as seven, all around twenty-four years old.
Not only were they attractive, having been the belle of their units, but their capabilities were also impressive.
If trained properly, Xu Yixue and the other two women would have suitable personal bodyguards.
With the reserves joining, as captain of the team, Zhou Xian took the initiative to handle their training, while Xu Fan provided relevant supplementary medicines.
He believed that in one month’s time, the reserves would develop a considerable fighting force.
Xu Fan also took time to instruct his disciple Cui Dong in cultivation.
With the blessing of the divine physique, the Tai Xuan Jiuxiao Body, and Xu Fan’s guidance comparable to that from an Immortal Emperor, Cui Dong’s progress was rapid, and it wasn’t long before he was nearing the mid-phase of the Grandmaster stage.
As time went by, the province-wide police force competition in Longhu Province was fast approaching.
To this end, Xu Fan also made a special trip to the War Wolf Squad base to provide guidance.
Thanks to his help, the strength of the War Wolf Squad underwent another huge transformation, improving by leaps and bounds.
The average cultivation level of the squad had reached the peak of the Strong Body Realm, with Su Jingfeng, Xiao Dao, and five others having advanced into the Qi Drawing Realm.
Such progress was simply astonishing.
Before receiving Xu Fan’s training, the strongest member of the War Wolf Squad had barely entered the Strong Body Realm.
Although the current strength of the War Wolf Squad wouldn’t make much of a splash in the Ancient Martial World, they only needed to arrest criminals and resolve terrorists in the Secular World.
Should any powerful Ancient Martial Artists commit crimes, the Flame Dragon Organization would handle them.
By comparison, the Falcon Squad, which had previously dominated the War Wolf Squad, only had three members who were Strong Body Martial Artists.
Therefore, in Xu Fan’s view, there was no suspense in the police force competition in Longhu Province, with the laurels undoubtedly going to the War Wolf Squad.
He even boldly claimed that from now on, in any police force competition, whether provincial or national, the champion would always be the War Wolf Squad.
As the instructor of the War Wolf Squad, Xu Fan was eagerly invited by Lu Chenbing to attend the competition in person.
Lu Chenbing even made an important point that just Xu Fan’s presence would greatly boost the morale of the War Wolf Squad.
Xu Fan was amused by the hyperbolic compliment, and as he happened to be free, he decided to take the child along for the excitement.
The day before the competition, Xu Fan took Tongtong and arrived near the competition site with the War Wolf Squad, well-rested and fully prepared for battle.
On August 8th, at just seven in the morning, the War Wolf Squad assembled, had breakfast, and boarded three helicopters flying towards the competition site.
Every year, Longhu Province holds a province-wide police force competition with 8 city-level special police squads participating, meaning there would be 8 contenders.
The location of the competition was Gu Lin Island, a small isle near the coast that was closed all year round and used for military training.
Longhu Province’s annual police force competitions were also always held there.
On the island, they could conduct regular mountain battles, jungle battles, and even urban battles.
The variety of scenes were adequate for diversifying their performance.
After landing on Gu Lin Island, staff members led the way to the rest area.
In the rest area, five special police squads had already arrived.
Some were gathering together to discuss combat strategies against their opponents while others were warming up.
The War Wolf Squad did the same.
Even though they were stronger than the other squads, they didn’t underestimate anyone.
“`
Not long after, the remaining two squads also arrived one after another.
At nine, all special forces squads had assembled in the square for the opening ceremony.
This time, the War Wolf Squad was personally led by Lu Chenbing, so Xu Fan didn’t need to worry about anything.
During the opening ceremony, he was cooling off under a tree with Tongtong.
At the opening ceremony, all the team members sat upright on the ground, waiting for the official start.
Suddenly, a discordant voice rang out from behind the War Wolf Squad.
“Hey, the War Wolf Squad has come too?
What a rare guest.”
Instantly, all members of the War Wolf Squad turned their heads, and then one by one, their gazes became gloomy.
The speaker was a middle-aged man with a cold expression and sharp eyes, a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Behind him followed a squad, their faces holding mocking smiles, and in their eyes, undisguised contempt.
This group was none other than the Falcon Squad, which had suppressed the War Wolf Squad several times.
The leader, Li Cheng, was of course always referred to by Lu Chenbing as Big Mouth Li.
“Big Mouth Li, you didn’t brush your teeth this morning, right?
Your mouth stinks to high heaven.”
Lu Chenbing sprung to his feet, his eyes fixed intently as he shot back.
“Why are you getting so worked up?
Is it because I spoke the truth?”
Li Cheng tilted his head to look over, sneering, “As the defeated, you should have the awareness of a defeated general.
All this anger, aren’t you afraid of developing heart disease?
Then you’ll blame it on me again.”
“Humph, all you’re good at is running your mouth.” 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Grinding his teeth, Lu Chenbing forcefully suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, “Big Mouth Li, just you wait.
If today the War Wolf Squad doesn’t turn your Falcon Squad into an Ostrich Squad, I’ll consider it my loss.”
Ostriches may look fine but are useless in danger, burying their heads in the sand when they have nowhere else to go.
This metaphor immediately caused Li Cheng’s mouth to twitch, and he retorted, “Well, I hope your dreams come true in your next life.
But soon, I’ll be watching the spectacle of you screaming ‘I’m a turtle’, which is quite exciting to think about.
You wouldn’t mind if I recorded that moment, right, to share it on various media platforms?
You could become an internet sensation.”
Li Cheng burst into laughter, “That’s right, Lu Chenbing, with your good memory, you certainly remember the bet between us.”
Lu Chenbing’s face was already an iron shade of blue as he snorted coldly, “Not only do I remember, but I’ll also record the moment you apologize to me.”
The bet between the two was made at last year’s police force competition, where the War Wolf Squad lost to the Falcon Squad.
Li Cheng was triumphantly provoking Lu Chenbing, betting that at this year’s competition, the loser would have to admit defeat and apologize to the winner, shouting “I am a turtle” three times.
Right then, the provincial department leaders arrived one after another, taking their places on the podium and interrupting the tense exchange between the two men.
Li Cheng had no choice but to sit with the Falcon Squad next to the War Wolf Squad, both sides glaring at each other with fury, as if itching to roll up their sleeves and come to blows right there.
After the provincial department leaders delivered their speeches, the competition format and schedule were also announced.
Eight teams in total would first be paired off into four groups for 1V1 competitions, with the winners advancing and the losers eliminated.
After reaching the semi-finals, teams would draw lots again for 1V1 battles to decide the top two, followed by a final match for the championship.
For the quarterfinals and semi-finals, urban counter-terrorism rules would be in play, primarily focusing on street fighting.
As for the finals, the maps and rules would be announced later.
After the announcement, the system began to randomly select opponents, and soon, the list of matchups for advancing to the final four appeared before everyone’s eyes.
War Wolf VS Thunder Slash
White Tiger VS Green Lightning
Spike King VS Moon Emperor
