Chapter 218: Recruits a Five-Person S-Level Sonic Wave Control Attack Squad

Chapter 218 Recruiting an S-Rank Sonic Wave Control Strike Team of Five

"Cut the chatter, brothers, let's go!"

"Yeah, the noble families in World City never treated us like human beings, and now even the top-ranked Blaze treats lives as disposable!"

"But in times like these, where else can we go?"

"I heard Shadow is recruiting too! Though Shadow isn’t as strong as Blaze, their captain Shen Qingci has always had good PR!"

"Exactly, look at Blaze—they could only be bothered to send one woman for such a major recruitment!"

"And a woman with only A-level psychic level at that! Blaze clearly looks down on us!"

Watching these high-level recruits, originally drawn by Blaze’s reputation, getting poached by Shadow, Wu Yue didn't even blink. She sat calmly, unmoving.

Zhenzhen tugged at her nervously, "They're leaving."

Wu Yue chuckles, "Let them go."

The locust lackey was shoved aside by the crowd, even taking a kick.

"Damn it, I wanted to say this earlier—sending a dung beetle to hand out flyers? What, you think I eat shit?!"

The locust lackey snapped, angrily crossing its arms. The nerve of these humans! I’m a locust, not a dung beetle! I don’t roll dung!

Through all the commotion, an excited voice suddenly rang out,

"Hey, great! Finally, there’s space for me!"

"Hello, I’m here to join Blaze’s recruitment!"

"Hey! Sister Wu Yue! It’s really you!"

Wu Yue blinked at the beanpole of a guy before her, "Skinny Monkey? Oh no, Liu Quan! You really came for the recruitment! Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?"

Liu Quan rubbed his neck awkwardly, "Ah, I almost didn’t come. I thought I’d never make it—Blaze keeps getting stronger, its rep in the league keeps growing. I felt like small fry.

If it weren’t for Captain Shen Que personally sending me a message, I wouldn’t have dared!

Even now, it feels like a dream—getting a personal recruitment ping from Blaze’s captain."

A bystander watching curiously asked, "Hey, how do you know Blaze’s captain?"

Liu Quan puffed up with pride, "I cleared a dungeon with Captain Shen, and he even saved me.

He’s my idol. Today, I was about to give up, but he encouraged me—even with low psychic level, I could still join the team."

"Hey, now that you mention it, Blaze’s captain doesn't sound like such a bad dude either!"

A naysayer immediately dismissed it, "If he’s so great, why isn’t he here for such a big recruitment?

Anyone can stage this with a shill. Don’t be fooled into being their useful idiot.

I’m not lying—Shadow’s captain is running point on their recruitment right now."

"Exactly, don't be fooled by such sweet talk!"

Liu Quan angrily retorted, "What crap are you spewing! Who's a shill? You guys look more like stooges to me!"

Wu Yue called him back, "It's fine, don't bother arguing with them. Have you filled out your application form yet? Let Zhenzhen check it for you."

"Pfft, this chick's dissing us."

"Yeah, why don’t you just leave? They clearly think they're too good for us!"

"Man, even if you're a shill, you should watch your back—that flower eats people!"

Liu Quan ignored them completely. He was Shen Que’s ride-or-die fan, a Blaze fanatic through and through.

After handing his application to Zhenzhen and answering the questions one by one, he nervously waited for Zhenzhen’s judgment.

Zhenzhen said, "Congratulations, you’ve moved on to the next stage of recruitment."

Then, Zhenzhen suddenly shook its flower-like face, and a small red flower fell out.

Zhenzhen added, "Here’s a little red flower for you, here's to you making it into Blaze."

Liu Quan stared at the small red flower in surprise, hesitating to take it.

Liu Quan asked, "What is this?"

"That's poison, isn't it?"

"Buddy, careful—it might melt you into a puddle of blood!"

Wu Yue said, "Take it. It’s a little gift from Zhenzhen."

Those who had earlier threatened to leave were all trying to get a look at what kind of flower it was.

After thanking them, Liu Quan gravely accepted the small red flower. The moment he held it, his jaw dropped.

"This is actually A-tier gear!! And it’s an evolving-type item with a primary combat skill!!"

Zhenzhen lifted its head, waiting for Wu Yue’s praise. Wu Yue obligingly patted its little head and said, "Zhenzhen's the best!"

The onlookers were in disbelief, but Liu Quan immediately bound the item and fed it the crystals he had painstakingly saved up.

Liu Quan’s voice trembled with excitement, "An A-grade, 7-point item!! It’s a god-tier drop! And with just one star unlocked, I’ve already grasped a toxic fog ability!! This... this gift is insanely valuable!! If I don’t end up joining Blaze, this item..."

"Tch, you'll be coughing that up later!"

"They’ll bleed you dry to get it back!!"

Wu Yue shook her head. "Since Zhenzhen gave it to you, it’s yours now. Whether you join Blaze or not, we won’t take it back. Zhenzhen is an SSS-grade Truth Flower. The reason that person earlier got eaten was because his goal in joining Blaze was to wreck it from the inside."

"Those with ill intentions should be prepared to be exposed."

"But as long as you sincerely wish to join Blaze, there's a chance to receive an artifact from Zhenzhen."

Hearing Wu Yue's words, the crowd's attitude did a complete 180. More than half of those who had been clamoring to leave now came rushing back.

"No way! An A-grade, seven-star artifact!"

"I heard Shadow makes members hand over all artifacts and takes a cut from all crystal earnings. If I joined Shadow, I'd never have my own artifact in a million years!"

"Exactly! And Shadow's alliance ranking has dropped to eighth place now. Only fools would join such a loser team."

When they saw rumors alone could no longer shake their resolve, the instigators immediately contacted Shen Qingci.

As Blaze's recruitment heated up, five people had already received red flower tokens from Zhenzhen.

Two of them had received A-grade artifacts—one for combat and one for healing, both extremely valuable.

The news spread like wildfire, and more and more people came for recruitment after seeing the alliance's promotion. Wu Yue was so busy she didn't even have time for a water break.

Looking at the promotional materials before her, Wu Yue raised her eyes in surprise—standing before her were five S-grade high-level combatants.

All five were masters of folk music: suona, pipa, guzheng, flute, and taiping drum.

This was an entire sonic attack squad collectively defecting from World City in search of a new home.

Before Wu Yue could stand up, shouting broke out in the distance.

"Shadow's leader, Shen Qingci, has personally arrived with all their top fighters!"

"Master! Why didn’t you bring my shiniang and my other uncles to find me?"

"That’s Shadow’s S-grade Zhang Fanxi! By the way, his skill is also music-related!"

Zhang Mo, dressed plainly and holding a suona, frowned. "Fanxi, didn’t you always think we were old-fashioned and that folk music was outdated? The new music you like—we don’t understand it."

Shen Qingci stepped forward. "Elder Zhang, Fanxi is my good brother and your student. He’s regretted leaving you all this time—what he said back then was just said in anger. Since you seniors have decided to leave World City, staying in the same team as Fanxi would mean looking out for each other."

Zhang Fanxi nodded eagerly. "Yes, yes!"

Who would have thought the first heavyweight team recruited today would have such deep ties with Shadow members?

Wu Yue frowned slightly, discreetly picking up the five recruitment applications. After a quick scan, she suddenly broke into a knowing smile.
