Huh?
Feng Yun's gaze landed on a young woman behind the group, her delicate appearance giving a fresh, spring breeze kind of feeling.
"Another Attribute Warrior, and a rare Wood Attribute at that..."
Among Attribute Warriors, Wood is weak offensively and defensively but possesses extraordinary healing abilities, surpassing even Water System Talents.
More importantly, combining Wood with Fire attributes can produce an Alchemist.
"Coming out was definitely the right choice—already met a mid-level Attribute Warrior so quickly."
Feng Yun was delighted, nearly wanting to loot the projection right then and there, but restrained himself due to the occasion.
The young woman's face flushed slightly—Feng Yun's gaze was so intense it made her uncomfortable.
Though he appeared very young, Feng Yun gave off a mature, practiced aura, not like a naive teenager.
"Feng Yun, is this your first time on a mission?" asked Zhong Tao, the middle-aged captain.
Feng Yun nodded.
The other team members shook their heads, thinking he was a rookie taking on a tough job.
Zhong Tao felt awkward, unwilling to bluntly say it, but warned, "If a fight breaks out, you just cover the rear."
Though Feng Yun was a fourteen-year-old Warrior prodigy, true combat depended on actual strength, which Zhong Tao doubted Feng Yun possessed.
"What kind of deal is this? No backup and you have to be babysitter?"
"Shut up. This is a cooperation task with Xingyao Academy—you must comply."
The murmurs fell quiet.
Feng Yun remained calm, his demeanor alone impressing Zhong Tao—no wonder he came from the academy.
"Alright, the mission: Blood Thorn Alliance has five members, all around mid-level Warrior. Their base is underground beneath a restaurant in the inner city. It's crowded during the day, so we'll go at night..."
Zhong Tao briefed Feng Yun on the Blood Thorn Alliance, mainly for his benefit since others probably knew already.
Feng Yun listened silently.
Time passed.
Night fell, stars twinkled.
Feng Yun and the four-man enforcement team stealthily approached a restaurant in the city's east.
After signaling, all but Feng Yun charged in.
The plan was for Feng Yun to hold the rear and prevent any escape.
Underground in the restaurant, the Blood Thorn Alliance members were caught off guard.
The enforcement team—elite mid-level Warriors, experienced fighters—quickly took control of the fight, aided by the Wood System Talent user healing support.
After about half an hour, all the alliance members were eliminated without escape.
"Strange, only four caught—weren't there five?"
Member Zhou Wei asked in confusion.
Suddenly, a cold gleam pierced the air behind Zhou Wei, aimed at his vital point.
Reacting instinctively, he dodged just in time.
A slicing sound was heard as a dagger stabbed his flesh, but he avoided a fatal blow.
"The fifth assassin has Dark System Talent!" Zhou Wei shouted.
Everyone's faces turned grim.
Dark System Talents granted assassins terrifying powers, boosting their lethality immensely.
Dark Attribute Warriors could hide in shadows even in daylight—where there is light, there is dark.
Tonight's darkness made them even harder to detect.
They tensed, alert to every sound and shadow.
Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared above, striking with lightning speed.
There was no time to react or dodge.
Her scalp tingled as a lethal aura pierced through, darkness engulfed her vision, her heart almost stopped.
Zhong Tao and team watched helplessly.
A sharp sword sound rang out.
From the other side, a golden sword light blocked the deadly strike, forcing it away.
The dark blade vanished without a trace.
"Feng Yun!?"
Seeing the figure beside them, Zhong Tao and team were stunned.
Feng Yun's body radiated faint golden light, sharp and piercing—no one dared look directly.
"Gold Attribute Warrior!"
Their hearts shook in awe.
