<div> The next day, the members of the Qing Peng Squadron arrived early at the meeting point, prepared to participate in the advancement trial assessment.
 Lu Yu stood among the crowd, not particularly noticeable.
 Yesterday, he had already elevated the Great Annihilation Finger to a point of proficiency, but it hadn't changed much—only making it slightly easier for him to control.
 When unleashing the Great Annihilation Finger with full force, it no longer necessarily appeared as a single finger. It could transform into a ray or a blade beam.
 The power remained largely unchanged, possibly enhanced, but Lu Yu couldn't discern any difference.
 To him, the power of the Great Annihilation Finger, regardless of the target, was always a matter of a single finger, so there was no clear indicator of whether its power had increased.
 Thud, thud, thud—the sound of footsteps followed one after another. The crowd turned their heads, and most people's expressions changed somewhat. The newcomers were the Black Snake Squadron.
 At the forefront was the captain of the Black Snake Squadron, a seductive beauty in black leather, resembling a poised and ready venomous serpent—both alluring and lethal.
 Lu Yu was slightly surprised to see Ye Qingzhou, who had broken into the Core Formation Realm and possessed Divine Soldiers, still willing to remain behind the Black Snake Captain, indicating the captain's exceptional nature.
 Lu Yu carefully sensed the aura of the other party, but their aura was well-concealed, and he could hardly detect the opponent's strength through it.

 </div> Fire Eyes, open! Flames briefly flickered across Lu Yu's right eye before quickly disappearing, unnoticed by the Black Snake Captain as she led her team past the Qing Peng Squadron.
 [Black Snake Captain, Qi Sea Realm Peak (Half-step Core Formation Realm), Qi Blood: 3600/3600, Spiritual Power: 129000/129000]
 Lu Yu understood, the Black Snake Captain was undoubtedly a favored daughter of the heavens, capable of breaking into the Core Formation Realm at any time, yet deliberately suppressing her realm to pursue perfection.
 It's no wonder Ye Qingzhou was willing to take a back seat; she was indeed unmatched.
 From this, one could see how strong Su Peng must have been when in the Qing Peng Squadron.
 Despite having such a talented captain as the Black Snake's leader, Su Peng's Qing Peng Squadron still outshone them, proving Su Peng's formidable strength and talent during his time with Qing Peng Squadron.
 After Su Peng left Qing Peng Squadron, the Black Snake Captain lost interest in competing with them. Later, it was always Ye Qingzhou leading the squadron against the Qing Peng Squadron, while the captain focused solely on cultivation, seldom managing squad affairs.
 "Black Snake Squadron's captain, Qiu Ruohua, is the seventh-ranked genius in talent at Celestial Wind Academy in recent years," Chen Qingyun stated beside Lu Yu.
 "Don't worry too much about her. She's only interested in Su Peng and not in the rest of us. She probably won't cause us any trouble," Lin Qingqing spoke up for once.
 Qiu Ruohua glanced at the members of the Qing Peng Squadron, dismissively not giving them much notice. Her slight interest was in Wei Long, who had already broken into the Core Formation Realm, but not much else.
 It wasn't that she thought she could defeat Wei Long, who possessed a Divine Soldier; she simply looked down on him from a talent perspective.
 In Qiu Ruohua's eyes, Wei Long might only temporarily surpass her, but once she broke through, surpassing Wei Long would be effortless, easily dominating him.
 Whoosh~ Several red figures descended from the sky, drawing Lu Yu's gaze. The newcomers were Martial Cultivators clad in red battle attire, each with a wolf head emblazoned on their chest.
 Chen Qingyun introduced beside Lu Yu, "This is the Firewolf Squadron, established even before Qing Peng and Black Snake. It seems they also have members who've broken into the Core Formation Realm, preparing to elevate their squad level."
 In fact, if Su Peng had been willing to take them to the advancement trial back then, the Qing Peng Squadron would have long become a Celestial Tier Mid-level Squadron.
 With Su Peng's strength, he alone could have easily cleared the trial while the others just stood by as cheerleaders.
 But at the time, Qing Peng Squadron had just suffered a major setback, missing members, and with the captain temporarily changed, they had no chance to participate in the advancement trial. After Su Peng's departure, even less so.

 </div> "Did the Spiritual Object I gave you prove useful? You better not tell me you failed to refine the Divine Soldier; that would mean wasting a rare Spiritual Object for nothing," Ye Qingzhou taunted looking at Wei Long.
 Wei Long stopped Luo Heng, who was about to argue with Ye Qingzhou, saying, "Don't trouble yourself over it. Whether the Divine Soldier refining failed or succeeded, you'll naturally find out during the trial."
 Ye Qingzhou looked somewhat disappointed at Luo Heng, quietly musing, "It's a pity he didn't take the bait."
 Soon, the examiners for their advancement trial arrived—two experienced Core Formation Realm instructors from Celestial Wind Academy.
 The tall, scholarly-looking instructor announced, "This advancement trial assessment for Celestial Tier Mid-level Squadrons includes three Celestial Tier Beginner Squadrons. Now that everyone's here, I'll announce the contents of the trial assessment."
 He took out a piece of paper, glanced at it, and read, "This trial assessment consists of three parts. The first part—Assistance. Timing begins at the trial assessment's start, and you must reach the battlefield passage outside Panshan City within half a quarter-hour."
 "The second part—Search. After entering the specified area of the outer realm battlefield, find the mission target within the allotted time."
 "The third part—Siege. Kill the mission target to pass the trial assessment."
 "The trial assessment requires: no casualties allowed. If any squad sustains losses during the trial, the assessment shall fail for that squad."
 The requirements for Celestial Tier Mid-level Squadrons entail an independent ability to siege and confront Core Formation Realm-level demons and foreign races, and the contents of the trial align with these requirements for Celestial Tier Mid-level Squadrons.</div>
