In the Underground Plaza, everyone was gathered.
"I have an announcement to make."
Elder Xia stood on the steps and took a long gulp from his wine flask. "This month's Forbidden Guard assessment is canceled. Next month, you'll all participate in the Martial Arts assessment! Zhou Bing, Tang Wen, and the other Hunting Team members will also participate!"

"Father, you... your hand?" Zhang Lin's initial joy at seeing the man clearly turned to dread. His heart sank, and a sense of panic washed over him.
A stir went through the plaza, but it quickly fell silent again.
Tang Wen glanced at Zhou Bing and his sister, his expression grim.
'If the Commander lost an arm, who knew how many other captains and team members were killed or wounded.'
Commander Zhang glanced at his son, making no effort to hide his empty sleeve.
