"Your Uncle Wu, I was once a member of the Phantom Squad!"
Yang Wu was completely stunned when Wu Tong said this.
Wu Tong, of course, understood Yang Wu's thoughts and explained, "Back then, the Phantom Squad wasn't as powerful as it is now. The captain was only a mid-level warrior!
However, a new member joined the Phantom Squad later, the current captain, Chu Tian, who turned out to be an extremely rare mentalist. Because of his mental power, Chu Tian's strength increased very quickly! Soon, he became the strongest member of the squad.
Unfortunately, the captain's talent as a mentalist wasn't very good; after reaching the initial warrior level, his mental power was exhausted.
Even so, the captain's strength continued to grow rapidly. Gradually, the Phantom Squad became stronger and stronger, and I couldn't keep up with the squad's pace, so I simply retired and returned to Yangzhou City to become an instructor!"
Wu Tong's expression was melancholy as he spoke of his retirement.
For a martial artist, retirement reduces danger, but it also means losing passion.
"Uncle Wu, your experiences are truly remarkable!" Yang Wu couldn't help but exclaim after hearing Wu Tong's story.
Yang Wu had only asked Wu Tong to help introduce him to a martial arts team because he didn't know many strong individuals. He hadn't expected Wu Tong to give him such a pleasant surprise.
As for whether he could join the Phantom Team, Yang Wu was quite confident in himself.
"Yang Wu, you should have met the captain of the Phantom Team before!" Wu Tong said with a smile after regaining his composure. "I remember last month when you participated in the preliminary martial artist assessment, the captain came to see me. I wonder if you still remember?"
"So he's Chu Tian, the captain of the Phantom Squad!"
Yang Wu immediately thought of the silver-haired, black-robed man who had appeared in the examination hall!
He had been puzzled when Chief Instructor Wu Tong addressed him as captain, but now he finally had the answer.
"Yang Wu, if you're interested in joining the Phantom Squad, I can help you get an assessment opportunity!" Wu Tong said with a smile.
Actually, if Yang Wu were just a 24-year-old beginner-level warrior, Wu Tong would never have introduced him to the Phantom Squad. However, Yang Wu had not only mastered a specialized-level marksmanship, but the power increase from his first cultivation of genetic energy was also astonishing.
Therefore, Wu Tong planned to introduce Yang Wu to the Phantom Squad. He himself couldn't continue going to the wilderness with his teammates, so introducing a genius was a token of his goodwill.
"I'm willing, thank you, Uncle Wu!" Yang Wu quickly replied.
Only a fool wouldn't want to join such a powerful warrior squad.
"I'll go contact the captain first!" Wu Tong said, then walked out of the reception room alone.
...
In a quiet room, Wu Tong dialed the number of Chu Tian, the captain of the Phantom Squad.
The call was quickly answered, and Chu Tian's hearty laughter came through the phone.
"Hey, Brother Wu, what brings you here today?"
"Captain!" Wu Tong smiled and said, "Aren't you in the wilderness area right now?"
"No! We just got back a few days ago, and the squad is resting in the base city right now. What's up, Brother Wu, is there something you need?" Chu Tian asked.
"Yes, there's something I need to trouble you with, Captain!" Wu Tong said apologetically.
Hearing that Wu Tong needed his help, Chu Tian immediately took it seriously and said, "Brother Wu, just tell me what you need, I'll definitely get it done for you!"
Back when Chu Tian wasn't very strong, Wu Tong had taken great care of him in the team. Now that Wu Tong finally needed his help, he naturally valued it highly.
"It's like this!" Wu Tong quickly explained, "I have a young man here named Yang Wu who just passed the preliminary martial artist combat assessment and has reached the initial warrior level. However, he hasn't found a suitable martial artist team yet, and I'd like to see if we can arrange for him to join our Phantom Team!"
Hearing this, Chu Tian frowned slightly, his previous confident demeanor gone.
Every member of the Phantom Team had been carefully selected; if a newcomer who had just become a martial artist were to join, even if their physical attributes reached the initial warrior level, it would definitely affect the team's combat strength.
If someone else had approached Chu Tian about this, he would have refused without hesitation. However, Wu Tong was different from others. Wu Tong was not only a former member of the Phantom Squad, but also Chu Tian's sworn brother.
For a moment, Chu Tian was at a loss.
Hearing the silence on the other end of the phone, the quick-witted Wu Tong immediately understood what Chu Tian was thinking and hurriedly explained, "Captain, the person I'm talking about not only has physical attributes at the beginner level of a warrior, but he has also mastered a specialized level of spear technique, and his movement skills are also quite good. Although he hasn't reached the microscopic level, his foundation is very solid. Even more commendable is that his strength increased by nearly 8000 kilograms on his first attempt at cultivating genetic energy!" "
That's impossible!" Chu Tian exclaimed in surprise on the other end of the phone. "If what you're saying is true, why don't the martial arts school's higher-ups plan to cultivate him more vigorously?"
"Yang Wu is already 24 years old!"
After Wu Tong finished speaking, Chu Tian fell silent on the other end of the phone.
As a former genius psychic, Chu Tian knew very well how awkward this age was for a talented martial artist.
Generally speaking, psychic masters have the opportunity to join the War God Reserve Camp after awakening. However, Chu Tian was already 25 years old when he awakened his mental power. Given his already low talent as a mentalist, he naturally had no chance of joining the elite training camp.
"If I had joined the elite training camp back then, I might be a War God-level expert now!" the 31-year-old Chu Tian thought to himself.
A moment later, Chu Tian said on the phone, "Brother Wu, if you have time, bring him over. However, whether he can join the Phantom Squad will only be known after the assessment!"
Although he felt a sense of shared fate with Yang Wu, Chu Tian didn't immediately agree to let him join the Phantom Squad. After all, he had to consider the safety of all the team members.
"Okay, we'll be right there!" Wu Tong replied immediately upon receiving the answer.
Yang Wu was currently browsing the introduction to the Phantom Squad in the Limitless House's information in the reception room. The more he read, the more he felt he should join the Phantom Squad.
At this moment, Wu Tong suddenly pushed open the door and walked in.
"Yang Wu!" Wu Tong exclaimed happily, "The Phantom Squad is currently resting in the main urban area of Jiangnan Base City. Let's get there immediately!"
"Okay, we'll go right away!" Yang Wu replied hastily.
Knowing that the sooner the better, Yang Wu called his parents and immediately boarded the train to the main urban area with Wu Tong.
