Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ah Long and his friends hurriedly carried the three bags up.

Ye Chen slashed open the bag, revealing two dead, masked ninjas and several pieces of snake meat!

The female prisoner had also been woken up and was taken off the helicopter by Zhao Tianlong and Zhou Changsheng.

Wan Shengjie was still holding a gun to her side to prevent the woman from doing anything reckless.

The female prisoner named Nanako was stunned when she saw the two ninjas.

After a long pause, her lips trembled as she murmured, "This, this, no, it's impossible! They were all at the ninth level of Qi Refining, how could they have been killed!"

Ye Chen ignored her and looked at Black Wolf instead: "Hehe, Instructor, we should have earned merit this time, right? We should at least get a third-class merit!"

Black Wolf stared at the scene before him, speechless for a long time.

The female prisoner just said those two ninjas were at the ninth level of Qi Refining?!

Holy crap, two Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators were just killed like that...

Who is the real newcomer?

And this snake chunk—I didn't really get a sense of it from just hearing about it before, but now that I have the real thing to compare it to, the visual impact is huge! They managed to kill such a big snake?!

Ye Chen's words pulled Black Wolf back to reality: "Oh, oh, what did you say?"

Ye Chen repeated his words: "I said, shouldn't we have done a good job this time? These three are members of a group called the Orochi Group in Japan. We can't deny that we've eliminated traitors!"

Black Wolf nodded emphatically: "You're definitely getting credit. I'll report this matter truthfully and apply for the appropriate honors and rewards!"

"Thank you, Instructor!" Ye Chen grinned.

"Thank you, instructor!" everyone shouted in unison.

Everyone was very happy. They had already made a contribution before the training camp was even over. Where else could you get such a good thing?

All of this is thanks to Ye Chen!

If it weren't for him, let alone capturing a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, their safety would have been a major problem.

The three cultivators were at the late stage of Qi Refining. The highest level of their group was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, so they would be easily defeated.

The crowd looked at Ye Chen's back with a hint of fervor in their eyes.

Black Wolf approached the female prisoner and slowly said, "You have quite the nerve, daring to touch even our Beidou people. Who ordered you to do this?"

The prisoner completely ignored Black Wolf, not even glancing at him, and remained silent.

This is quite awkward.

Black Wolf nodded: "Pretty stubborn, huh? Fine, you'd better stick to your stubbornness then!"

In the end, the female prisoner was taken away.

The snake meat that everyone brought back also proved its worth.

Black Wolf has granted special permission for an all-meat feast tonight!

With so much meat, you can make soup with some, or grill it with some. Eat it however you like!

The giant serpent was considered to have gained sentience and possessed cultivation, so its flesh contained a rich spiritual energy.

This spiritual energy is far more concentrated than that of an old rooster or a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

No one needed to urge them; everyone ate with gusto.

The fishy smell that everyone was worried about didn't exist, and the taste was much more delicious than they had imagined.

Of course, with such a rich spiritual energy, even a slightly fishy smell should be acceptable.

The instructors also joined the group. Tonight, there were no instructors or team members, so everyone could enjoy a good meal.

During the meeting, Black Wolf announced, "Fellow colleagues, the new recruit training has come to a successful conclusion today. You have all passed the assessment, and tomorrow you will be sent back to your respective departments!"

"During this training camp, we will be conducting evaluations. The newcomer with the highest overall score will receive one opportunity to cultivate a spiritual vein, plus one opportunity to gain enlightenment through an enlightenment stone!"

Black Wolf deliberately left this a mystery.

Who do you think will be the Best Newcomer?

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Ye Chen.

Zhao Tianlong took a big bite of meat: "Although I really want to go to the Enlightenment Stone to experience its power, I have to admit that the captain is more qualified than me. Anyway, I only respect the captain. If there's only one spot, it can only be the captain!"

"Yes, I think this person is none other than the captain!" Zhou Changsheng nodded.

"I agree with the captain. If it weren't for the captain, we probably wouldn't have made it back. I still feel a bit scared when I think about it now. Three assassins at the late stage of Qi Refining!" Wan Shengjie immediately expressed his opinion.

Needless to say, Second Uncle, Ah Long, and Dongzi would definitely support Ye Chen.

The others also unanimously agreed that this person could only be Ye Chen.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Black Wolf smiled with satisfaction.

"Ye Chen is quite strong, so putting you all in the same training batch is indeed unfair to you. However, his performance during this period has been outstanding, which is evident to everyone. This Best Newcomer award is well-deserved!"

"Don't be discouraged, you all did a great job this time!"

"While I can't secure an Enlightenment Stone for you, I can certainly secure you a chance to cultivate through a spiritual vein!"

After speaking, Black Wolf looked at everyone with a smile.

"Really? Instructor, you're such a great person!" Wan Shengjie exclaimed excitedly, almost as if he was about to hug the black wolf and give it a good nibble.

Black Wolf glanced at him sideways: "No, don't call me a good person, I'll think you're insulting me!"

"Haha, thanks a lot, instructor!" Wan Shengjie grinned.

Everyone was actually quite happy to hear Black Wolf say that.

It's like gaining a chance to cultivate through a spiritual vein, an opportunity that is extremely precious to cultivators.

They only have three to five opportunities a year to join the BeiDou department, and that depends on their overall rating.

An ordinary person would be grateful to have three chances, and even Zhao Tianlong only had five chances.

On average, I can't go even once every one or two months.

This kind of opportunity can't be bought with money. Even if you gave them a million dollars, they wouldn't trade it.

This was an unexpected surprise, and a happy ending for everyone.

"Instructor, what is this Enlightenment Stone?" Ye Chen was more interested in the Enlightenment Stone's one-time opportunity to achieve enlightenment.

This thing sounds pretty mysterious.

Ye Chen had a feeling that this opportunity to comprehend the Dao with the Enlightenment Stone was specially prepared for him by the higher-ups.

He hadn't heard Lu Ye mention anything about this.

Most people didn't know anything about the Enlightenment Stone, so they stared at the black wolf curiously, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Black Wolf looked at Zhao Tianlong: "Tianlong, you should know this, right? Why don't you explain it to everyone?"

Zhao Tianlong scratched his head when he was called upon: "Actually, I don't know much either. My dad made me try to get this opportunity. To be honest, I don't know the full details about what the Enlightenment Stone is for. Instructor, you can explain it to me!"

Black Wolf nodded and looked around at everyone: "The so-called Enlightenment Stone, as its name suggests, is a stone used to attain enlightenment."

"The Enlightenment Stone is said to originate from ancient times, containing profound laws. If one can gain some insight into it, it will greatly benefit one's future cultivation!"
