"Chen Feng, from this moment on, you belong to me, Wu Yong!" Wu Yong declared loudly.

"What?!"

"It's Wu Yong from the Independent Operations Regiment!! My God! He's actually back?!"

The gasps and murmurs from the audience surged instantly. No one could believe that this big shot who had been out of the public eye for so long would suddenly appear in the dueling arena, let alone that he would publicly acknowledge Chen Feng as his opponent.

It should be noted that Wu Yong's Independent Combat Regiment is the elite elite force directly under the TN71 base. It is under the direct command of the Commander-in-Chief and is not subject to the control of the Operations Department. It is the most formidable force in the entire base.

Seeing the audience below the dueling platform discussing among themselves, Xu Shaohua, who was standing to the side, had long since lost all of his former arrogance.

His lips were stained with undried blood. He tried to struggle to his feet, but his knees buckled and he stumbled.

Xu Shaohua's gaze darted back and forth between Xu Yingzheng and Wu Yong with a mixture of eagerness and fear. He wanted to step forward and ask for their approval, but he was intimidated by the chilling aura emanating from the two men and could only stand frozen in place.

Chen Feng glanced at Xu Shaohua from the side, taking in the whole scene.

Chen Feng immediately retracted his golden demon-resistant armor and looked at Wu Yong, the commander of the independent combat regiment, without showing any surprise or flattery.

"I, Chen Feng, am not subject to anyone's control."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, and even the smile on Wu Yong's face froze for a moment.

A hint of smugness flashed in Xu Yingzheng's eyes.

He was just waiting for this clueless Chen Feng to provoke Wu Yong, so he could reap the benefits!

But to everyone's surprise, Wu Yong not only wasn't angry, but burst into laughter, his eyes filled with even more admiration!

"Good! You've got guts! I, Wu Yong, love tough guys like that! From now on, whatever delicious food I have, Chen Feng will have a share!!"

As soon as Wu Yong finished speaking, Xu Yingzheng, who was standing to the side, stood up with a serious expression.

"Wu Yong, do you really want this kid?"

Xu Yingzheng's eyes held a murderous intent, but it wasn't the rage from being slapped in the face by Chen Feng; rather, it was fear of Chen Feng and Wu Yong joining forces. "This kid isn't as easy to control as you think."

Wu Yong chuckled, but a wisp of light purple energy inadvertently appeared around his fingertips. That energy was far more refined than Xu Shaohua's energy, and it also faintly carried the pressure of a Heaven-ranked combatant.

This oppressive aura was a unique deterrent belonging to the strongest person in the base. After all, Wu Yong had personally led several iron-blooded teams and was the core backbone in the base's numerous battles against extraterrestrial behemoths.

In terms of outstanding military achievements, he is many times better than Xu Yingzheng!

"Commander Xu, I, Wu Yong, am helping the Commander-in-Chief pick up someone. Do I need to be beholden to you?"

Xu Yingzheng gave a cold laugh.

However, the pressure released by Wu Yong felt like an invisible boulder pressing down on his heart, making his expression even colder.

He had not forgotten that Wu Yong was only a low-level combatant when he was able to command an independent combat regiment!

Three years later, this strongest individual from Base TN71 has become a level 15, peak Heavenly Rank expert!

"My affairs are none of your business! If Commander Xu really wants to take Chen Feng away from me, you can make a bet with me, let my men compete against your men, and see who wins in the end."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yingzheng seemed to realize that he could no longer harm Chen Feng.

It was even less likely that they could directly trip up Wu Yong and his independent regiment, who had the strongest combat capabilities.

Xu Yingzheng sneered and turned to leave, not even glancing at Xu Shaohua on the stage.

"My God! Commander Wu actually took Chen Feng! What incredible luck!"

"You don't know this, do you? Although Chen Feng is only at the peak of the Earth Rank, there are only 36 Heaven Rank experts in the entire TN71 base. From this perspective, it is indeed necessary to recruit Chen Feng."

"The key point is that he's also incredibly handsome!"

The murmurs of the people kept reaching Wu Yong's ears, but the smile on his face grew wider and wider.

Chen Feng approached Wu Yong, his tone devoid of any sycophancy, and simply said politely, "Commander Wu, thank you for protecting me today. I will forever remember your kindness."

Wu Yong's gaze fell on the surrounding crowd, but his burly figure took a step closer to Chen Feng and whispered in Chen Feng's ear.

However, at this moment, his words changed from his previous bold and unrestrained style.

His voice was extremely low, his composure conveying an undeniable certainty, a stark contrast to his previous boldness and arrogance.

"That girl Leijia told me the whole story a long time ago. She didn't hide anything about how you protected her."

Immediately afterwards, a sinister smile appeared on Wu Yong's face, and every word he uttered became clearer and clearer in Chen Feng's ears.

"I'm not here today just to protect you. As long as you agree to join the group, from now on, no one will dare to lay a finger on Leijia... I'll protect her safety, without a doubt."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yong straightened up slightly, waved his hand, and prepared to leave the dueling arena.

At this moment, Chen Feng finally understood the method Lei Jia had mentioned.

Chen Feng's heart sank, but then he instantly regained his composure.

Reika's words seemed to echo in her ears; there was no room for hesitation now!

Chen Feng immediately stepped forward, his voice deep and resolute, each word filled with an undeniable earnestness: "Commander Wu, I am willing to join the Independent Combat Regiment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding chatter quieted down a bit, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Chen Feng and Wu Yong.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding discussions suddenly stopped, and all eyes were fixed on the two of them. Even the air seemed to quiet down as everyone waited for the response from this base leader.

But Wu Yong seemed oblivious, continuing his journey without pausing for a moment.

However, the sneers that escaped from his throat were not entirely arrogant; they also contained a hint of knowing amusement.

It seemed as if she had anticipated Chen Feng's answer, and also as if she was satisfied with his straightforwardness.

Wu Yong strode forward with steady, broad steps, only glancing back at Chen Feng as he left the dueling arena.

The officers of the Independent Regiment accompanying Wu Yong gave Chen Feng a nodding look of approval.

After Xu Yingzheng, the deputy commander, left the dueling arena, Wu Yong never responded to Chen Feng's request again.

However, this seemingly indifferent indifference, and the approval given by Wu Yong's subordinates, is not the most direct form of consent.

Chen Feng smiled...

He knew that he had already stepped through the gates of the Independent Regiment.
