CHAPTER 1421: CHAPTER 1421: COMBAT SQUAD

"Indeed, very strong!"

Xu Nian nodded.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingfu displayed a somewhat smug smile.

Among the four, he was considered the weakest.

Therefore, seeing Xu Nian’s extraordinary talent, he planned to temper his spirit.

"Xingfu, what are you doing, bringing a young one here?" A man playing chess teased with a smile.

This man was the weakest among the three, a mid-stage Immortal King.

The late stage Immortal King also glanced at Xu Nian with a smile.

As for the woman, she didn’t even lift her head, continuing to draw, seemingly very focused.

"I’m telling you, this young one is quite remarkable, and I’m thinking of recruiting him into our battle squad," Xu Xingfu said with a smile.

"Recruit him into our battle squad? Are you kidding me?" The speaking man exclaimed in surprise.

The man opposing him also showed an expression of surprise.

Even the woman drawing raised her head, looked at Xu Nian coldly.

Then, using a sharp tone, she said, "Xu Xingfu, you know we don’t accept useless people into our battle squad."

"Useless people?"

Xu Nian looked to the woman.

Her words were quite domineering, directly calling him useless.

"You may have underestimated this young one; though his cultivation appears to be at the Golden Immortal Early Stage, in reality, his strength has reached the peak of the Early Stage Immortal King. In Sky-reaching World, he just killed an Abyss Sword Demon at the Early Stage Immortal King," Xu Xingfu immediately stated.

"An Abyss Sword Demon at Early Stage Immortal King? Really? That creature even gives me headaches," the previously vocal mid-stage Immortal King exclaimed, looking at Xu Nian in shock.

The late-stage Immortal King in front of him was equally astonished.

The woman’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she said nothing.

"So, are you surprised now? Haha, I tell you, I witnessed it with my own eyes; without him, I might’ve lost my qualification for the Sky-reaching Trial," Xu Xingfu laughed.

"Do you really have such strength?" The mid-stage Immortal King turned to Xu Nian and asked.

"Just fortunate," Xu Nian smiled.

"Xu Nian, don’t be modest. Here, if you’re humble, they’ll only see you as a useless person," Xu Xingfu immediately said.

Xu Nian felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.

"Xingfu, quickly tell us what special abilities this guy possesses," the mid-stage Immortal King urged.

"Yes, don’t keep us in suspense!" The woman spoke again, her tone much softer.

"This guy, at the Golden Immortal Early Stage, has already reached the Law Manifestation Great Success Realm in two first-grade laws, and most importantly, he’s only just over three hundred years old," Xu Xingfu said.

"What?" The mid-stage Immortal King looked shocked.

Even the woman paused for a moment.

Just over three hundred years old.

Golden Immortal Early Stage with two first-grade laws, both at Law Manifestation Great Success Realm?

"Xingfu, are you dreaming?" The late-stage Immortal King laughed and asked.

Clearly, he didn’t believe Xu Nian could possess such strength.

"Would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, test him yourself!" Xu Xingfu immediately replied.

Just as he finished speaking.

The woman holding the brush flicked her pen.

A drop of ink shot out from the tip of the pen.

The ink instantly elongated, forming a razor-sharp Ice Sword aiming straight at Xu Nian’s chest.

First-grade law Absolute Zero?

Xu Nian was startled, daring not to be careless.

He immediately activated the Wind Attribute Extreme Point Penetration Law, gathering a sharp sword.

The sharp sword struck, clashing with the Ice Sword.

"Boom!"

A powerful wave instantly spread out.

The Ice Sword shattered.

The sharp sword in Xu Nian’s hand was also instantly frozen.

Fortunately, Xu Nian quickly withdrew, retreating over ten zhang, avoiding the terrifying ice from freezing him.

"So strong, just a casual strike already has such terrifying power," Xu Nian exclaimed.

He could confirm that the woman before him had absolutely reached the Perfect Realm in Law Manifestation.

The woman was also somewhat surprised, her gaze now more respectful towards Xu Nian.

"Indeed, it’s a first-grade law, Wind Attribute Extreme Point Penetration Law, and has reached Great Success Realm, kid, what’s your other law?" The woman asked.

"Earth Attribute Black Hole Law," Xu Nian whispered to himself.

This opponent was also a master of first-grade laws.

This was the first first-grade law expert Xu Nian had encountered since entering the Immortal Realm.

"Black Hole Law? Show me," the woman continued.

Xu Nian didn’t hesitate, immediately flicking his hand, and the next moment, a small black hole appeared in his palm.

"Your Black Hole Law seems not to have reached Great Success," the woman stated.

"Yes, my Black Hole Law is somewhat inferior compared to Extreme Point Penetration Law," Xu Nian nodded.

"Very well, you indeed have the peak strength of the Early Stage Immortal King," the woman continued.

Hearing this, the two men showed expressions of surprise.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xingfu’s words turned out to be true.

A young one just over three hundred years old actually possessed such formidable power.

"Haha, I told you, didn’t I? He truly has the strength to join our battle squad," Xu Xingfu said with a smile.

"Hello, I’m Zhou An," the mid-stage Immortal King proactively greeted.

"Xu Nian greets Senior Brother," Xu Nian replied quickly.

"Haha, not bad," the mid-stage Immortal King laughed heartily.

"I’m Taishan," the late-stage Immortal King stepped forward, addressing Xu Nian.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Taishan," Xu Nian followed with a greeting.

"She’s Zhu Xin, the captain of our battle squad," Taishan pointed at the woman.

"Xu Nian greets Sister Zhu Xin," Xu Nian promptly saluted.

The woman before him was indeed very strong, so strong that if she wanted to kill him, he would be absolutely powerless to resist.

"I don’t have many rules here. Since Xu Xingfu recommends you, he truly values you. So let me ask you directly, do you wish to join our battle squad?" Zhu Xin looked at Xu Nian and straightforwardly asked.

"Battle squad? What’s the significance?" Xu Nian curiously inquired.

"It seems he doesn’t know. Are you a registered disciple?" Zhou An asked.

Zhu Xin and Taishan were both taken aback.

Even Xu Xingfu looked surprised.

"Are you a registered disciple?" Xu Xingfu asked.

"Yes, I’m a registered disciple. My master is the Taichu Immortal Emperor," Xu Nian replied.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingfu turned to Zhu Xin with an awkward expression.

"Xingfu, you didn’t even ask this before," Zhou An said in annoyance.

Taishan shook his head repeatedly.

"Who would have thought his talent was so extraordinary, yet he’s just a registered disciple," Xu Xingfu said helplessly.

Xu Nian’s strength and talent were superior to some direct disciples.

He didn’t anticipate that Xu Nian was a registered disciple.

Xu Nian was also surprised.

It seemed direct disciples held secrets unknown to registered disciples.

"Even a registered disciple is acceptable here. I only recognize true strength. Tell me, do you wish to join our battle squad?" Zhu Xin suddenly asked, her gaze fixed on Xu Nian.
