The plaza of the base, eight teams occupy eight positions, the flags representing the identities of the eight teams sway in the wind, unmatched in grandeur.

Among them, the most striking is a cloud-soaring Azure Dragon and a wing-spread Ice Phoenix. Under the morning sun, the two flags shine in mutual radiance, subtly overshadowing the other six flags.

Today is the day of the annual competition at the base; everyone has arrived early at the plaza, waiting for the competition to begin.

No matter how eye-catching the flags are, they are ultimately not as attractive as real people.

At this moment, many cadets look towards the Azure Dragon Squad and the Ice Phoenix Squad, unable to restrain their gasps.

"That's... Long Zhen, the super talent from the Long Family eight years ago? Isn't the instructor of the Azure Dragon Squad Long Qing? Why was there a sudden replacement?"

"And the instructor of the Ice Phoenix Squad has also changed from Feng Wu to Feng Li, the super talent from the Feng Family eight years ago! What has happened?"

Among the crowd, naturally, there are those who are in the know, who scorn at the questioner with a proud smile, "You don't know this? Long Qing and Feng Wu were disgraced to the point of humiliation by the instructor of the Grey Wolf Team, Xu Fan! Long Qing was directly put into seclusion by the Long Family, and Feng Wu was severely punished by the Feng Family, the rumors say it ended tragically!"

"Now that Xu Fan is out, his momentum is unmatched, and Long Zhen and Feng Li have come precisely to assassinate Xu Fan!"

Eight years ago, during the competition, both were instructors and led the Azure Dragon and Ice Phoenix to great success. Now their strength has improved greatly, and the dispatch of them by the two families signifies their stance.

The explicit goal is to kill Xu Fan!

Upon hearing these secrets, the crowd gasped, marveling at the resolute murderous intent of the Long and Feng families.

"Look, even the White Tiger Squad's instructor seems to be a new face! And most of the cadets are entirely different!"

Some sharp-eyed cadets glanced towards the White Tiger Squad, involuntarily exclaiming in surprise.

The White Tiger Squad is also a formidable team that invariably attracts attention.

The previous White Tiger Squad had immense strength; why has the lineup changed completely now? Is the White Tiger Squad also out to assassinate Xu Fan?

Soon, among the crowd, those in the know provided an answer.

"A month ago, the White Tiger Squad challenged the Grey Wolf Team, and the White Tiger Squad's instructor Li Kun was defeated by Xu Fan, killed in one move! The White Tiger Squad was outmatched by the Grey Wolf Team, defeated without bloodshed!"

"The hidden family behind the White Tiger Squad, the Li Family, suffered tremendously during that challenge, the Family Head Li Tiancheng died on the spot! Numerous super strong Zhiwei Realm experts died tragically! The remaining strong members of the Li Family all bear deep-seated resentment towards Xu Fan!"

"The current members of the White Tiger Squad are mostly strong members from the Li Family, and the instructor is Li Feng, the super talent from the Li Family eight years ago, wanting to slay Xu Fan in this battle to reclaim their honor!"

This revelation sets off waves of shock!

As the truth is revealed to everyone, there is an uproar, as they stand stunned and agape.

These cadets were either honing skills outside the base or in seclusion within, wholeheartedly preparing for the competition, unaware that they missed so many exciting events.

What kind of person is Xu Fan? Is he truly capable of leading the Grey Wolf Team to defeat the formidable White Tiger Squad? And causing such devastating losses for the Li Family, and making the Long and Feng families take him on as a sworn enemy?

The rules of the base's competition have lasted for hundreds of years, but never has there been a competition of such scale! Such a mobilization!

Soon, the name Xu Fan spreads among everyone, and in no time, his various legendary feats are revealed to them one by one.

Entering Dao Realm Peak, instantly killing Vajra Realm Peak! Walking among twenty super strong Zhiwei Realm experts and surviving! Confronting the base's high-level officials, humiliating Zhiwei Realm expert Liu Fei! Disgracing Long Qing and Feng Wu! At merely the age of under twenty, he accomplished feats never before achieved in hundreds of years at the base... First on the Earth List!

Such achievements and honors make everyone feel stifled in the chest, some even unable to breathe properly.

All are young, around seventeen or eighteen years old, how can anyone be this fierce?

In the cultivation world, isn't each realm a heavenly layer? How can Xu Fan at the Entering Dao Realm Peak accomplish such deeds?

Truly, comparisons with others can be infuriating!

The heights Xu Fan has reached leave everyone of his age only able to look up, not daring to harbor any thought of competing with him.

Meanwhile, everyone is finally understanding the actions of the Azure Dragon Squad, Ice Phoenix Squad, and White Tiger Squad.

No wonder these teams dispatched such super strong members, coming to assassinate Xu Fan. People initially thought that the teams might be overly mobilizing, showing suspicion of using a cannon to kill a fly.

Yet, now, after learning about Xu Fan's myriad glorious deeds, they feel... that even such a line-up probably won't be enough to face Xu Fan.

"See! Not only did the Azure Dragon, Ice Phoenix, and White Tiger teams adjust their members, but all teams have some new faces!"

This comment sends shivers down everyone's spine.

Inside the base, although one cannot normally engage in hand-to-hand combat, on the competition, there are no rules whatsoever. In past competitions, blood has flowed like a river, and there have even been cases where almost everyone was killed...

Everyone has come to participate in the competition, naturally unafraid of death!

But now, seeing the lineup of various teams, everyone realizes that this year's competition might be unprecedented in its intensity!

"The eight teams all have powerful members arriving; even though Xu Fan might be extraordinary, this time, it may be difficult for him to make an impact."

Someone among the crowd voiced this sentiment.

"Indeed! Eight teams have already arrived, waiting for the competition to start, but the Grey Wolf Team is still nowhere to be seen; perhaps that instructor Xu Fan has long fled!"

"With the potential of being first on the Earth List, how terrifying must that be? There is no need to sacrifice a life in vain for this competition!"

Some suspect that Xu Fan has fled, leaving the Grey Wolf Team as a headless group, lost and unsteady, hence not showing up yet.

However, some scoff at such speculation.

"Have you ever witnessed the splendor of that instructor Xu Fan? Facing encirclement by the three families, yet still unfazed, going to challenge the White Tiger Squad, inside the base, facing the high-level officials, still unwavering."

"Being first on the Earth List, such a proud person, how could he retreat just because of this scene?"

Both sides argue relentlessly, each firmly holding to their standpoint.

Yet, as two figures slowly approach, everyone gapes, holding their breath, their expressions turning to astonishment.

As they gaze at the approaching duo, the entire place falls silent!
