SQUEAK!

The dormitory door opened. Lin Feng had intentionally stepped out for a while to create an atmosphere for Lu Pengju and Yao Bin to "have time alone." Estimating that enough time had passed, Lin Feng finally returned to the dorm.

Upon entering, he saw Yao Bin sitting on the bed, covered in bruises and wearing a sorrowful expression. Lu Pengju must have given him a good 'lesson' earlier, Lin Feng imagined.

As for Lu Pengju, he was lying on his bed, arms crossed behind his head, looking utterly relaxed. Dealing with Yao Bin seemed to have greatly improved his mood.

PFFT!

Seeing Yao Bin's shiner, Lin Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Instructor Yao Bin, when did you learn cosmetic surgery? Heh heh... It... it looks quite good," Lin Feng said, covering his mouth as he chuckled.

HMPH!

Yao Bin gave a cold grunt and said nothing. Previously, he could bully Lu Pengju to vent his frustration. Now, unable to bully anyone, he felt incredibly vexed.

"Master, you're back?"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's voice, Lu Pengju quickly sat up from his bed with a beaming smile. The look of excitement and confidence on his face was a stark contrast to the timid Lu Pengju he once was.

"Heh heh, not bad at all."

Seeing that Lu Pengju had dealt with Yao Bin, Lin Feng felt satisfied. My apprentice indeed hasn't let me down!

At that moment, the dormitory door opened, and Tan Long, who had gone to a meeting, returned.

He took one look at Yao Bin's slightly swollen face and paused. "Yao Bin, what happened to you?" he asked.

Yao Bin glanced at Lin Feng, then at Lu Pengju, and said in a low voice, "N-no, nothing. I just fell." With that, he lay down and pulled the quilt over his face, pretending to sleep.

Tan Long, still uncertain, shifted his gaze to Lin Feng and Lu Pengju nearby. A disdainful sneer touched his lips. "Heh, did you two beat up Yao Bin?"

Both Lin Feng and Lu Pengju shook their heads innocently. Lin Feng understood that Lu Pengju must have threatened Yao Bin earlier, which was why Yao Bin didn't dare say who had hit him. My apprentice really did me proud! Lin Feng thought, silently giving him a thousand thumbs up in his heart.

After nearly a month of rigorous training, every member of the Falcon Special Forces had made significant progress in physical strength, speed, power, and reaction time.

Of course, their skin had also become deeply tanned.

"Master, have you noticed something strange?" Lu Pengju asked Lin Feng.

"What?"

"We've been trained by Deputy Chief Instructor Zhang Chu. He's just a deputy, so there should be a Chief Instructor too, right? But it's been a month, and the Chief Instructor hasn't shown up. It's too mysterious!" Lu Pengju said curiously. "Could it be the Chief Instructor has something to hide?"

"Why do you care about that?" Lin Feng replied. "The higher-ups have their arrangements. Perhaps the Chief Instructor is just some leader holding a nominal post, while Zhang Chu is the one truly in charge of us. This kind of thing happens everywhere in our great nation."

The two chatted as they walked. Before long, they met up with Ye Lin and Yan Su and then headed to the assembly square.

Coach Zhang had sent out a notice saying there would be an important announcement today.

Once everyone had assembled, Zhang Chu stood at the front and declared loudly, "After thirty-five days of training, all of you have demonstrated the potential to become special agents. For that, I congratulate you all."

The crowd tactfully erupted into enthusiastic applause.

"Therefore, after discussing with the Chief Instructor and acknowledging the effort you've all put in, we believe it's time to test the results of your training!"

After Zhang Chu finished speaking, the recruits looked at each other; they knew another difficult training mission was likely on its way.

Observing their reactions, Zhang Chu continued, "Therefore, our instructor team has unanimously decided to have you undertake a real special agent training exercise!"

"We will assign tasks based on everyone's capabilities and specific traits. Those who complete their task will officially graduate and become members of the Falcon Special Forces. If you can't complete the task... well, you might even endanger your lives. So, failing to graduate would be a given. Those who cannot graduate and become members of the Falcon Special Forces will receive a consolation payment as a reward for participating in this training," Zhang Chu continued.

"What kind of mission could be life-threatening?"

"Exactly, it sounds so mysterious. And if we don't complete it, we can't become real Falcon Special Agents... That sounds terrifying."

"Ah, whatever. We've come this far; we definitely have to participate in this graduation mission. No matter what, even if we can't become members of the Falcon Special Forces, there's still a hefty consolation payment. Not bad."

The Falcon Special Agent candidates began to discuss amongst themselves. They had anticipated a mission near the end, but they hadn't expected one that was "life-threatening."

"Alright," Zhang Chu instructed, "each group's members will follow the instructor standing in front of you. The instructors will give you your specific mission assignments."

After speaking, he said to Yan Su, "Yan Su, your Elite Squad 1, follow me."

Each of the five squads followed an instructor into the training base's small meeting rooms, one room per squad.

The instructor for Elite Squad 1 was Zhang Chu. He led Lin Feng, Ye Lin, Yan Su, and the fourth member into the most secluded meeting room.

"Please, have a seat."

Zhang Chu had the four of them sit down. After closing the door, he said, "Each team has a specific special agent mission. However, this time, we're collaborating with national security agencies. There are two missions that are particularly dangerous. After careful consideration, I believe Elite Squad 1 is the most suitable to carry them out."

"Just tell us, Coach Zhang. Whatever the mission, we guarantee we'll complete it," Yan Su declared confidently.

Zhang Chu then called in another instructor and said, "There are two missions, each requiring two people. One of them is especially dangerous and needs a male-female pair. After careful consideration, I'd like Lin Feng and Ye Lin to undertake it. Do you two have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng and Ye Lin exchanged glances. Why are we being paired up again? they both wondered.

Facing Zhang Chu's questioning gaze, both quickly nodded, indicating they had no objections.

"Alright then. You two come with me to the next meeting room. This mission is especially important and confidential. I must brief you two separately."

With that, Zhang Chu walked out. Lin Feng and Ye Lin promptly got up and followed him.

"I need you two to go undercover in a smuggling ring in Jiangzhou City and cooperate with the police to take down this transnational drug trafficking syndicate! Of course, the mission is extremely dangerous. Do you dare to go?"

Inside the meeting room, Zhang Chu looked earnestly at Lin Feng and Ye Lin and asked, his voice firm and resonant.
