Meng Xingchen was worried and pulled Zhang Feng back up. Once they returned to their camp, Meng Xingchen began to complain about the behavior of that group. "Sister Yao, this isn't my fault; they were just too much!"
"Have you considered that by causing such a scene, Zhang Feng ended up isolated?" Lin Yao replied. It seemed that Zhang Feng had been fine in his previous team for so long, which showed he could adapt on his own. Instead, it was Meng Xingchen's interference that disrupted the balance and forced him to leave the group.
Hearing this, Meng Xingchen realized that his good intentions had backfired, and he felt a pang of guilt as he looked at Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng smiled foolishly and waved his hand. "It's fine; I was planning to go solo anyway. They were the ones who insisted on bringing me along because they thought I looked pitiful."
Meng Xingchen felt he was putting on a brave front and felt even guiltier. He turned to Lin Yao with big, pleading eyes. "Sister Yao, can we take him in?"
Lin Yao glanced at him coolly. "Did you not think about what would happen to Zhang Feng before you stirred up trouble?"
"I’m fine," Zhang Feng tried to interject, but Meng Xingchen interrupted him with a pat on the back.
Lowering his head, Meng Xingchen quickly admitted his mistake. "Captain, I was wrong! Please forgive me just this once!"
"Remember, I'm only temporarily teaming up with you; I'm not here to clean up your mess!" Lin Yao reminded him.
Meng Xingchen quickly dropped his joking demeanor and said earnestly, "I understand now, Sister Yao. I won't do it again."
Seeing his sincere attitude, Lin Yao turned to Zhang Feng and asked, "Do you want to join our team?"
Zhang Feng grinned sheepishly. "Although I can manage alone, since this classmate is so sincere and Captain, you're a good person too, I’d be happy to join you."
At that moment, Lin Yao heard the announcement: "Mission Three complete; rewards at the sign-in point."
Upon hearing this, Meng Xingchen immediately forgot about the earlier incident and cheerfully clapped Zhang Feng on the shoulder. "Welcome to our team! I'm Meng Xingchen; this is Captain Lin Yao. You can call her Sister Yao like I do."
Before Zhang Feng could respond, he heard gasps around them. "See? I told you that person is Meng Xingchen from Meng Pharmaceuticals!"
"Ah! No wonder he looks so familiar!"
The voices were loud enough for all three to hear, but no one commented further on it.
Zhang Feng still spoke in his usual naive tone. "Um, can I not call you Sister Yao?"
"Why not? Do you think the captain looks too young for you to call her sister?" Meng Xingchen exclaimed excitedly.
"No, it's just that in my remote star system, there's a profession with a bad reputation that uses that title," Zhang Feng explained patiently.
What a bad profession!
It’s about women who provide that kind of service.
Meng Xingchen felt a bit embarrassed and glanced at Lin Yao. "How about I call you Boss then?"
"No, just call me Lin Yao," she replied.
"That won't do; it sounds disrespectful. Let's stick with calling you Boss." "Boss!"
The small team of two became three, but it didn’t affect Lin Yao's planned pace.
However, they didn’t expect that despite Zhang Feng’s heavy appearance, he moved faster than Meng Xingchen.
"Zhang Feng, what kind of ability do you have? How come you're so fast?" Meng Xingchen panted heavily behind him.
Zhang Feng flashed his signature goofy smile. "I’m just an ordinary strength ability user."
"That’s impossible! With a strength ability, how can you be so much faster than me?"
Lin Yao, walking ahead, coolly interjected, "That's because his body technique is already at level five."
During the chaotic battle yesterday, while both were being beaten up, Meng Xingchen got hit while Zhang Feng managed to take on four opponents without suffering any losses.
She was surprised at the time.
When she activated her Extreme Eye and took a closer look, she realized that his body technique energy concentration was significantly higher than those around him; he must have reached level five in body technique.
Inviting Zhang Feng to join their team was not only to complete yesterday's daily mission of recruiting a third teammate but also because they valued his abilities.
Meng Xingchen was too weak; if Zhang Feng were weak as well, she wouldn’t be able to carry the team alone.
Upon hearing that Zhang Feng's body technique was at level five, Meng Xingchen let out a sharp gasp. "Zhang Feng, how did you train to reach level five?"
Although there were no age restrictions for starting body technique training, to prevent younger children from recklessly practicing and injuring themselves due to ignorance, people in Yunmeng Star generally began training at the age of seven.
Even those from wealthy families who could afford private tutors usually started only about two years earlier.
With the aid of bone-strengthening potions and superior body technique manuals, those from good backgrounds could indeed get a head start. However, advancing from level four to level five was a significant hurdle.
It required not only sufficient combat experience but also a certain level of talent.
For an average person to advance to level five before the age of eighteen was considered top-tier talent.
As one aged, their bones became harder, and the speed of advancement in body technique slowed down significantly; throughout history, very few have achieved level ten body technique by the average life expectancy.
Zhang Feng came from a remote star, and whether it was in terms of hard skills like potions and equipment or soft skills like education and secret manuals, he was far behind those from the central star. Yet, he still managed to reach Level Five in physical combat by the age of seventeen, showcasing just how terrifying his talent was.
Especially considering that Meng Xingchen, as a member of the Meng Pharmaceutical family, had access to top-tier resources in every aspect, he was still struggling to reach Level Four in physical combat. It was no wonder he was so shocked by Zhang Feng's abilities.
As they traveled that day, Lin Yao and her companions encountered more and more people, indicating they were likely catching up to the middle-tier group. Given that Meng Xingchen had been pushed to his limits due to the pressure, Lin Yao decided it would be best to rest early that evening.
Finding a suitable camping spot marked by previous travelers, Lin Yao instructed, "Zhang Feng, please clear the campsite. Meng Xingchen, you’re in charge of gathering firewood and fetching water. I’ll go hunting."
After assigning tasks, Lin Yao dashed off.
As she ran swiftly through the woods, she opened her status panel.
