Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 22 Opportunity

"Your Uncle Wu was once a member of the Phantom Squad!"

Yang Wu was completely stunned when Wu Tong said those words.

Wu Tong, of course, understood Yang Wu's thoughts and explained, "Back then, the Phantom Squad wasn't as powerful as it is now, and the captain was only a mid-level warrior!"

However, a new member joined the Phantom Squad later, who is now its captain, Chu Tian, ​​and he turns out to be an extremely rare psychic. Because of his psychic powers, 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, and he exhausted his mental power after it reached the level of a beginner warrior.

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 their pace anymore. So, I simply retired and returned to Yangzhou City to become an instructor!

When talking about his retirement, Wu Tong looked dejected.

For a martial artist, retirement may reduce the danger, but it also means losing the passion.

"Uncle Wu, your experiences are so fascinating!" Yang Wu couldn't help but exclaim after hearing Wu Tong's story.

Yang Wu had originally asked Wu Tong to help introduce him to a martial arts team simply because he didn't know many strong individuals. Unexpectedly, Wu Tong gave him such a pleasant surprise.

As for whether he could join the Phantom Squad, Yang Wu was quite confident in himself.

"Yang Wu, you should have met the captain of the Phantom Squad before!" Wu Tong said with a smile after regaining his composure. "I remember when you guys participated in the quasi-martial artist assessment last month, the captain came to see me. I wonder if you still remember him."

"So he's Chu Tian, ​​the captain of the Phantom Squad!"

Yang Wu immediately thought of the silver-haired man in black robes who had appeared in the examination hall!

Yang Wu was puzzled when he heard the head instructor, Wu Tong, address the other person as the captain, but now he finally has the answer.

"Yang Wu, if you're interested in joining the Phantom Squad, I can help you get a chance to take the test!" Wu Tong said with a smile.

In truth, if Yang Wu were merely a 24-year-old novice warrior, Wu Tong would never have introduced him to the Phantom Squad. However, Yang Wu not only mastered a specialized level of spear technique, but the power he gained from his first cultivation of genetic energy was also astonishing.

Therefore, Wu Tong planned to introduce Yang Wu to the Phantom Squad. He himself could no longer go to the wilderness area with his teammates, so introducing a genius there was a way for him to show his appreciation.

"I'm willing, thank you Uncle Wu!" Yang Wu quickly replied.

Only a fool wouldn't want to join such a powerful team of martial artists.

"I'll go contact the captain first!" Wu Tong said, and walked out of the reception room alone.

……

In a quiet room, Wu Tong dialed the phone number of Chu Tian, ​​the captain of the Phantom Squad.

The call was quickly connected, and Chu Tian's hearty laughter came through the phone.

"Hey, Brother Wu, what brings you here to call me today?"

"Captain!" Wu Tong smiled and asked, "Aren't you in the wilderness area right now?"

"No! We just got back a few days ago, and the team is resting in the base city right now. What's up, Brother Wu, did you need something?" Chu Tian asked.

"I need to trouble you, Captain, with something!" Wu Tong said apologetically.

Upon hearing that Wu Tong needed to speak with him, Chu Tian immediately took it seriously and quickly said, "Brother Wu, just tell me what it is, and I'll definitely take care of it!"

Back when Chu Tian wasn't very strong, Wu Tong took great care of him in the team. Now that Wu Tong finally needs his help, he's bound to value 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 already reached the level of a beginner warrior. However, he hasn't found a suitable martial artist team yet, and I'd like to see if we can assign him to our Phantom Team!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Tian frowned slightly, his previous confident demeanor completely gone.

Every member of the Phantom Squad has been carefully selected. If a newcomer who has just become a martial artist were to join, even if the newcomer's physical qualities reach the level of a beginner warrior, it would definitely affect the combat power of the martial artist squad.

If anyone else had approached Chu Tian about this matter, Chu Tian 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 for what to do.

Hearing the silence on the other end of the phone, the quick-witted Wu Tong immediately understood what Chu Tian was thinking. He quickly explained, "Captain, the person I'm talking about not only has physical attributes at the beginner-level warrior level, but he's also mastered a specialized-level marksmanship. His movement skills are also quite good; although he hasn't reached the microscopic level, his foundation is very solid. Even more remarkable 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 aren't the martial arts school's higher-ups planning to invest heavily in developing him?"

"Yang Wu is already 24 years old!"

After Wu Tong finished speaking, Chu Tian on the other end of the phone fell silent.

As a former genius of mental cultivation, Chu Tian knew very well how awkward this age was for a talented martial artist.

Generally speaking, mentalists have the opportunity to join the War God Preparatory Camp after awakening their mental powers. However, Chu Tian was already 25 years old when he awakened his mental powers, so naturally, he had no chance to join the elite training camp, given his already low talent as a mentalist.

"If I had joined the elite training camp back then, I might be a War God-level expert now!" Chu Tian, ​​who was already thirty-one years old, 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 Chu Tian felt a sense of kinship with Yang Wu, he didn't immediately agree to let him join the Phantom Squad. After all, he had to consider the safety of all the squad members.

"Okay, we'll be right there!" Wu Tong replied immediately after receiving the answer.

Yang Wu was browsing the introduction to the Phantom Squad in the Limitless House in the reception room. The more he read, the more he felt that he should join the Phantom Squad.

At that 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. Without further ado, let's head over there immediately!"

"Okay, we'll go right away!" Yang Wu said hurriedly.

The sooner the better, so Yang Wu called his parents and immediately boarded the train to the main urban area with Wu Tong.
