“Hahaha…”
“Why are you laughing?” Wang Teng glared at Kong Li, feeling that he had suffered a huge humiliation.
This girl was outrageous!
“Cough, I’m not going to laugh anymore… Pfft, hahaha, I’m sorry. I can’t control myself.” Kong Li walked over and burst out laughing again when she saw Wang Teng’s exasperated expression.
She held onto his shoulder and laughed until she bent backward and forward. She was beside herself.
Niu Li and Yuwen Xuan couldn’t control themselves either, revealing happy smiles.
They would have laughed if the situation wasn’t so dire.
“Come, Junior Brother, wear it and let your senior take a look. I think this cat mask is not bad. It suits your vibe,” Kong Li teased him after laughing for some time.
“Go away!” Wang Teng slapped her hand away in anger.
“Come on, wear it. It’s really not bad.” Kong Li didn’t give up. She continued urging him.
Wang Teng ignored her. He shifted his gaze and said to Yuwen Xuan, “Major Yuwen, why don’t we change our masks. I think that this mask is more suitable for you.”
“Hmph!” Yuwen Xuan snorted coldly. His expression changed.
Wang Teng didn’t give up. He turned to Niu Li and said earnestly, “Old Niu, how about we exchange our masks? Trust me, if you wear this, you will definitely return to your youth and get a new lease of life like the sprouts on a withered tree in spring. You will mesmerize thousands of ladies, more than Major Yuwen. You will become the new idol of the military.”
Niu Li felt the muscles on his face twitch. Veins bulged out on his forehead.
Young brat, don’t you know how to speak properly?
What do you mean by return to my youth? What do you mean by getting a new lease of life?
Am I very old?
To a martial warrior, 30 years still meant youth, yet this brat was calling him old. He was so insensible.
Don’t you want to switch masks with me? You can continue daydreaming!
“Hahaha, no one will exchange with you.” Kong Li guffawed at his plight.
Wang Teng was boiling with rage. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “Why don’t—”
“Don’t even think about it. I’m not changing with you.” Kong Li rolled her eyes. She rejected him before he could finish his sentence. She fiddled with the bear mask in her hand and said, “I think my mask is awesome.”
“Tsk, what kind of taste is that?” Wang Teng said with disdain.
“Alright, stop fooling around. Time is tight. We should leave now!” Niu Li said at this moment.
“Alright, since no one likes you, let me dote on you.” Wang Teng shook his head and sighed. He knocked the cat mask in his hand.
“The mask is to conceal your identity to prevent others from recognizing you through your pictures. It’s not an ornament,” Niu Li replied helplessly.
Wang Teng remained quiet. Niu Li continued, “Since we are hiding our identities, we can’t use our real names. We need a codename.”
“Codename?” Wang Teng asked curiously, “This feels like a spy movie.”
Niu Li glared at him. “My codename is Raging Bull. Kong Li is Peacock, and Yuwen Xuan is Wolf Wen. You’re a recruit, so you don’t have a codename yet. You can pick one yourself. We’ll call each other by our codenames from now on.”
“This is so troublesome.” Wang Teng felt helpless, but he still pondered over it.
It was his first time thinking of a codename for himself. It felt strange to him, so he couldn’t come up with one for a long time.
“Why don’t you call yourself Cute Cat?” Kong Li teased him.
“Not bad!” Yuwen Xuan nodded in approval.
“Enough!” Wang Teng glared at them. Suddenly, he had an idea. A smile appeared at the corner of his lips as he said, “I’ve thought of mine. My codename will be… Ghost Crow!”
“Ghost Crow!”
Kong Li and Yuwen Xuan repeated the name.
Niu Li was afraid that they would continue wasting time here. He waved his hands hurriedly and said, “This codename is not bad. Alright, it’s decided. Wear your mask, and let’s leave.”
Their jokes ended there. They turned serious and headed towards another exit in the underground training area.
Along the way, everyone wore their masks.
Wang Teng also stopped hesitating. It was just a mask. Besides Kong Li, Yuwen Xuan, and Niu Li, no one knew who he was.

It wasn’t too embarrassing.
The four teams followed behind their leaders.
A few moments later, they arrived at the Force floating airship docking station. There were already people waiting for them.
“Take care of yourself!”
The four of them exchanged glances and said some parting words. Then, they brought their teams onto the Force floating airship and flew off into the horizon.
Wang Teng and his 42 subordinates sat in the transportation cabin, staring at each other awkwardly.
Wang Teng didn’t know what to do. These soldiers were extremely uptight. They only knew how to follow commands. If he didn’t open his mouth, they wouldn’t say a single word.
After some time, Wang Teng coughed and said, “Why don’t you introduce yourselves? We’ll start with… the two of you.”
He waved his finger around and finally pointed at the two 5-star soldier-level martial warriors.
The two martial warriors were shocked and exchanged glances with each other secretly. These martial warriors belonged to a special department, so all of them had learned concealing skills to hide their cultivation. Usually, outsiders wouldn’t be able to see their true abilities.
Yet, Wang Teng was able to point them out accurately among all the soldiers.
They didn’t believe that this was based on pure luck. This exceptionally young leader must have noticed something.
A moment ago, when the team saw Wang Teng’s light-hearted attitude, they felt a little regretful. They wondered if it was luck or misfortune to have such a leader.
Now, the two martial warriors finally realized that this young man wasn’t an ordinary guy. Anyone that could be sent by the higher authorities to be their leader wouldn’t be a normal person.
Wang Teng’s intention of doing this was to show his ability to the soldiers.
Any powerful person was proud. Hence, these martial warriors would more or less have some unhappiness and doubts towards him, their leader who dropped from the sky.
Especially when compared to Kong Li and the others. He had no reputation and was extremely young.
A youngster was normally thought to be weaker in ability.
He was too lazy to explain to them, so he directly used this method to shock them.
These martial warriors weren’t stupid. He believed that they would notice something.
Under Wang Teng’s calm gaze, one of the soldiers took off his mask, revealing the face of a man around 30 years old. He opened his mouth and said, “Codename: Ice Wind!”
Then, he put on his mask and kept quiet again.
He didn’t mention his ability. He stared intently and directly into Wang Teng’s eyes.
Wang Teng remained indifferent, having no intention to probe further. He turned and signaled the other person to speak.
Surprisingly, the other martial warrior was a lady around 27 years old. There was a scar that looked like a centipede covering half of her face. She said in a cold voice, “Codename: Black Widow!”
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Wang Teng and wore her mask again. She didn’t mention her ability either.
Wang Teng felt his teeth hurting.
Black Widow?
What kind of name is this?!
Why don’t you act in the Avengers!
Moreover, the Black Widow in the Avengers was prettier than this lady. This lady was… erm… without the scar, she should be pretty too.
Next, the other people started to introduce themselves. They only said their codenames and took off their mask to allow Wang Teng to recognize their faces.
Wang Teng touched his chin and scanned his subordinates.
All his subordinates seemed unruly…
