Chapter 87: The Deterrence of Scorching Sun (Seeking First Subscription, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
This task was practically given for free, so Mu Yang naturally wouldn't refuse it.
The three of them arrived at Bureau 13's training ground. The other two members of the team also gathered around, curiously sizing up Mu Yang, their new captain.
"You two, come at me together."
Mu Yang stood on the training ground, his face still calm. In reality, the Truth Utterance hanging at his waist had already begun to scan the two individuals' physical attributes.
"Currently determining the charm attribute of both parties. Determination successful. Basic information of the targets has been acquired without drawing their attention."

Hearing Mu Yang's words, Li Yalin and Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment but did not refuse.
Although they verbally expressed their disapproval of Mu Yang, the fact that he could be directly parachuted in as captain meant that Mu Yang at least possessed corresponding strength. Therefore, both of them remained very cautious.
Li Yalin launched the first attack, her figure agile, charging forward like a leopard, without the slightest hesitation.
As a martial artist, although her fists were empty-handed, when stamina covered her hands and feet, a martial artist possessed extraordinary brute strength,
with destructive power far exceeding that of ordinary weapons.
Her right fist struck directly at Mu Yang's abdomen, a powerful and heavy blow.
If an ordinary person took this hit, she would have to kneel and beg them not to die; it was more than enough to deal with a super-powered individual of the same level.
Facing this offensive, Mu Yang stood rooted to the spot, unmoving.
And just as Li Yalin's attack was about to hit, the onlookers seemed to faintly hear a few short, obscure syllables.
Subsequently, a scorching wave erupted from Mu Yang's center.
A solid flame wall, its surface seemingly flowing with fire, appeared out of thin air between the two, completely obscuring Mu Yang's figure.
Bang!
Li Yalin's fist slammed heavily against the flame wall, a dull thud echoing through the room.
The flame wall trembled violently, its solid barrier becoming somewhat ethereal, but it did not shatter.
The powerful recoil made Li Yalin's wrist numb, and her strong momentum came to an abrupt halt, like an arrow suddenly stopped in mid-air after being shot.
"An ability user!"
A hint of shock flashed across Li Yalin's face.
Looking at the flame wall so close, she subconsciously assumed Mu Yang was an ability user because there was no concept of magic on Hai Lan Star.
And since Mu Yang hadn't moved his hands or feet, he couldn't be a martial artist. Moreover, the scorching heat of this flame wall wasn't faked; she could still feel the burning sensation on her fist.
Ability users were extremely rare on Hai Lan Star, and each one seemed to be very strong. Therefore, in the eyes of these agents, ability users were basically a symbol of power.
"No wonder he could be parachuted in; so he's an ability user."
Li Yalin and Zhang Wei felt they had guessed the truth, but this didn't mean the battle was over.
Although ability users were strong, it didn't mean they were invincible.
Just as Li Yalin was momentarily stunned, the flame wall in front of her suddenly shattered, transforming into a greatsword condensed from flames.
The greatsword emitted a scorching aura, its target directly at Li Yalin's open chest.
"Danger!"
Zhang Wei, who had been waiting in preparation on the side, let out a low roar, charging forward like a human tank, holding a large shield.
His original equipment was a set of single-soldier power armor, which, although somewhat resembled a crude iron lump, performed exceptionally well in combat, but the cost was extremely high maintenance.
This was a training battle, not a fight to the death, so there was no need to use such a powerful weapon.
Clang!
Under Mu Yang's deliberate control, the greatsword struck the shield Zhang Wei raised, producing a sound of metal clashing.
The greatsword's domineering power caused Zhang Wei's strong body to involuntarily retreat, and the alloy floor beneath his feet emitted some "ouch" sounds.
Leveraging this immense force, the veins on Zhang Wei's forehead bulged as he twisted his body to dissipate the force, then forcibly lifted the massive shield with both arms and hurled it at Mu Yang.
And Li Yalin, hidden behind him, had also adjusted her stance, coordinating with the gap in Zhang Wei's attack to pounce again.
She no longer attempted to meet force with force, but instead utilized the martial artist's speed, lowering her body, lightly tapping her toes on the ground, and quickly circling to Mu Yang's side-rear.
A tricky side kick viciously swept towards Mu Yang's knee joint.
Being attacked from both front and back was almost a death trap for other super-powered individuals of the same rank, and onlookers also believed the outcome was decided.
They couldn't think of any way to dodge this move other than by phasing.
However, at this moment, Mu Yang's body swayed strangely like a candle flame in the wind amidst the gusts of wind brought by the two attacks, and then both the shield and the side kick passed through Mu Yang's "body."
"He can really phase?!"
"It's fake!" * 2
The onlookers were shocked, and Li Yalin and Zhang Wei on the field both showed expressions of horror. They hadn't even noticed when Mu Yang had disappeared.
But their excellent combat instincts told them that this was not the time to be stunned; they should quickly locate Mu Yang.
Buzz!
A blinding strong light erupted from somewhere unknown!
The dazzling light made Li Yalin subconsciously close her eyes, while Zhang Wei hid his eyes behind his shield.
Mu Yang's figure appeared at the edge of the training ground, his right hand leisurely drawing continuous lines in the air.
And subsequently, several two-finger-wide runes, shimmering with light and flame, condensed out of thin air and shot towards Zhang Wei and the ground beneath his feet.
Chains of light and flame bound Zhang Wei in place; the scorching sensation and the sudden restraint made him pale with fright.
He struggled frantically, but the seemingly slender chains of light and flame were extremely tough, and the energy contained within the chains was canceling out his stamina, making it difficult to break free in a short time.
Therefore, he could only watch helplessly as Mu Yang attacked Li Yalin, like a helpless husband in a movie.
At this moment, Li Yalin had just opened her eyes from the stimulation of the strong light, only to find Zhang Wei trapped by chains, and a powerful sense of oppression coming from above.
She subconsciously looked up, and the moment she saw Mu Yang, her pupils suddenly constricted.
Mu Yang was suspended in mid-air, his pale golden eyes gazing at her mercilessly.
In his hand, he held a longsword of light and flame, its tip now hovering before her forehead, perhaps less than an inch from her skin.
She could even feel the terrifying high temperature of the light and flame!
What made her even more apprehensive was the eerie scarlet sun behind Mu Yang's head, which was emitting a strong aura of power, making her feel a sense of hallucination.
A scorching heatwave washed over her face; Li Yalin even saw a few strands of hair on her forehead instantly char from the high temperature of the light and flame.
"You yield."
Mu Yang's calm voice sounded. The longsword of light and flame in his hand dissolved into specks of starlight in the air, and the chains of light and flame binding Zhang Wei also disappeared at this moment.
He landed lightly back on the ground, his posture completely composed, even having the leisure to pull up the exhausted Li Yalin.
