"The Blood Cross has been too quiet lately!" In the quarters of the Seventh Squad, Ye Qiu glanced at Huang Zhentian and the others, then said seriously, "This kind of silence is not a good thing, so we must be extra vigilant.

Moreover, mobilize all the forces you can leverage to investigate and gather any intelligence related to the Blood Cross."

"Yes!"

With that, Huang Zhentian and the others straightened up and responded in unison.

Meanwhile.

At the Blood Cross headquarters, the nine Great Elders also issued important orders to those below them.

Pay close attention to Southeast Asia and collect strange occurrences everywhere!

The Blood Cross is full of anticipation about this!

Because, in their view, this might give them a chance to deal with Ye Qiu!

...

Several days later.

Ye Qiu received another call from Chief Fei Ming, "Ye Qiu, with the potion developed from this recent research, we've trained a batch of Genetic Warriors. We still want you to come over and see, to test their strength, see if you have the time."

"Serving the country, how could I not have time?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"Hahaha!" Such a response made Fei Ming very happy; he laughed heartily twice and said cheerfully, "In that case, I'll arrange for someone to come to pick you up."

"Alright!" Ye Qiu replied, gave the address, and then hung up the phone.

About half an hour later, the person sent by Fei Ming successfully picked up Ye Qiu.

Soon, Ye Qiu arrived at the military training ground for the Genetic Warriors.

The field was very spacious, spanning tens of thousands of square meters, with a neatly standing team at its center.

This team consisted of hundreds of people.

Everyone held their heads high, their eyes full of pride and absolute dominance, as if nothing could stop them.

Their aura was even stronger than those elite special forces.

No doubt, they were a troop composed of Genetic Warriors!

At this moment, Ye Qiu's sharp eyes swept over everyone before he shouted, "Hello, comrades!"

"Hello, Chief!"

Hundreds of Genetic Warriors stood upright and shouted in unison, their voices mighty and resounding.

After responding to Ye Qiu, however, what followed was not the expected silence.

Or rather, some of these Genetic Warriors lacked discipline.

They were whispering among themselves.

"No way, is this the officer the chief talked about, the one coming to test our strength?"

"Looks pretty ordinary, how's he going to test our strength?"

"Yeah, we took the Genetic Potion; we can punch through steel. This guy obviously hasn't taken the potion. If we have to fight to test, I'd be afraid of breaking his ribs with one punch."

"Forget it, if we really have to fight, we better hold back. After all, he's an officer; if we really injure him, we could be kicked out of the team."

"Ugh, this kind of test is so boring."

Each of these Genetic Warriors was very proud, with an air of invincibility, looking down on Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu was not angry about this.

In fact, he even felt a sense of familiarity.

He recalled when he joined the Demon Corps. Back then, the soldiers joining the Demon Corps had gone through rigorous trials and selections, and everyone was very strong.

When they arrived, naturally, like these Genetic Warriors, everyone was proud, even looking down on those officials.

Some even boasted they could knock out those officers with a single punch.

The ultimate result was naturally subdued by the old officers in the Demon Corps.

Of course, Ye Qiu was an exception.

Unlike others, he ended up subduing all the officers...

So Ye Qiu, having experienced something similar, didn't regard the arrogance of these Genetic Warriors as a breach of discipline or have a bad impression of them because of it.

On the contrary, he felt it was a necessary process.

If these Genetic Warriors were all obedient and docile, then that would really be strange.

To join such an elite force, how could they not be headstrong?

"Does anyone here disagree?" Ye Qiu looked around at everyone and asked casually.

In the next moment, someone responded, "I disagree!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a young man nearly 1.8 meters tall with a medium build jumped out!

This person had a high nose and sharp eyes, like an eagle eye, constantly searching for prey, ready to deliver a fatal blow!

Ye Qiu felt his aura and couldn't help but nod slightly, feeling satisfied.

Then, Ye Qiu asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

"Reporting to the Chief, my name is Shang Yu!" the young man saluted and answered firmly.

"Why don't you agree with me?" Ye Qiu continued to ask.

"Does the Chief want to hear it bluntly or subtly?" Shang Yu asked back.

"Of course, bluntly," Ye Qiu replied with a smile.

"Alright!" Shang Yu nodded and continued, "Since the Chief is so straightforward, I won't spare your feelings. Before you came, another chief told us that a chief would come to test our strength.

Originally, I thought that chief would be formidable, but after meeting, I found, Chief, you are very ordinary. Maybe you are really strong, but to me, you just seem like a regular person."

"We are different because we have taken the Genetic Potion. We are Genetic Warriors, with power far exceeding that of ordinary people. For example, I can knock down a big willow tree with one punch!"

"So, Chief, do you really want to test our strength?" Shang Yu looked at Ye Qiu seriously.

"So, you don't look up to me at all," Ye Qiu said with interest, watching Shang Yu. What Shang Yu said was very direct and harsh, and if others heard it, they'd probably be furious.

But Ye Qiu was different. Looking at Shang Yu evoked memories of himself.

When he joined the Demon Corps, he said the same thing...

"Reporting to the Chief, it's not out of belittling you, but fear of hurting you!" Shang Yu responded loudly.

"In that case, let's have a spar," Ye Qiu smiled calmly, not wanting to waste any more time, and said with a laugh, "Now, you can make your move on me."

With that, Ye Qiu straightened up and stood there rigidly.

That posture looked very much like a live target.

This sight made Shang Yu pause.

What does this mean?

From the look of the Chief, he seems... not planning to fight back?

Just taking hits passively?

This is too much, isn't it?

Does he think he can withstand my attack relying on bodily strength alone?

Or does he believe that since I'm just a small soldier, I dare not use too much strength on him?

Not only did Shang Yu think this way, but the other Genetic Warriors also had similar thoughts.

Some even showed disdainful smirks.

They respected Ye Qiu as a chief, but if he were a pretentious kind of chief, they had no respect to give.

However, at this moment, Ye Qiu's calm voice sounded once again.

"Come on, hit me with all your strength. If you don't go all out, you're a wimp."
