These guys were all elites under Mo Yuntian, the aces of the army. Their acceptance of Nie Yan as their instructor was an affirmation of Nie Yan's strength.

Born into a military family—Nie Yan's father was a soldier—Nie Yan had inherited some of his father's thinking. In his subconscious, he also firmly believed in the supremacy of strength, and his pursuit of his own strength was extremely persistent. Nie Yan had never known what level he was at, after all, his opponents were just students and there was a gap between them and real fighters. But defeating Wang Duo today gave him a little more confidence. His strength was already comparable to those of the army's elite.

Nie Yan felt more and more keenly the changes brought about by advancing to Shadow Dancer. What secrets did the title of Shadow Dancer hold?

Unable to figure it out, Nie Yan stopped thinking about it. He would focus on doing what he could do right now. He was going to take over these thirty-odd people.

Wang Duo returned to the ranks. He was completely convinced by Nie Yan's strength. When he looked at Nie Yan, his eyes revealed a kind of fervor. He admired anyone stronger than him. Nie Yan was much younger than him, yet his strength had reached such a level. What would happen in a few more years? He no longer had any objections to the instructor Mo Yuntian had found for them.

With Mo Yuntian's permission, Nie Yan walked in front of them and said solemnly, "I know some of you may not be convinced that General Yun Tian found you an instructor who is not even twenty years old and still a student. The army is a place that emphasizes strength. It's useless for me to say more. If any of you are not convinced, you can stand up and we'll talk with strength. From now on, until you defeat me, I am your instructor. Since General Yun Tian has entrusted you to me, I will naturally give him an explanation."

Although Nie Yan's words were a bit arrogant, in the army, if you wanted to win people over, it was not enough to just speak beautifully. He understood how to tame these unruly guys.

The thirty-odd soldiers straightened their faces and raised their heads. Nie Yan's previous defeat of Wang Duo had already convinced them, so they did not raise any objections.

"Start counting off."

Nie Yan quickly got a number: thirty-six people in total. If he wanted to truly satisfy General Mo Yuntian, he felt the burden of the task on his shoulders.

"Introduce yourselves, names, ages, etc." Nie Yan glanced at the crowd. Since Mo Yuntian had entrusted these people to him, he naturally had to know their details.

Wang Duo and the others looked at Mo Yuntian. Seeing Mo Yuntian nod, Wang Duo stepped forward and said, "Reporting, Instructor, Wang Duo, twenty-six years old, belonging to the 721st Mecha Special Forces Brigade, with the rank of Major General..."

Wang Duo introduced himself. Hearing the words "Major General," Nie Yan was shocked. A twenty-six-year-old Major General, and from the 721st Mecha Special Forces Brigade, which was said to be a very special unit with a glorious history. Any ordinary soldier pulled out from there would be treated as a Major outside.

Lei Su and Xiao Yu were a little dumbfounded. It was actually the 721st Mecha Special Forces Brigade, and a Major General at that!

"Reporting, Instructor, Lin Yi, twenty-five years old, belonging to the 275th Airship Special Forces Brigade, with the rank of Major General..."

"Reporting, Instructor, Luo Ye, twenty-six years old, belonging to the 721st Mecha Special Forces Brigade, with the rank of Major General..."

One after another, they stepped forward and introduced themselves. The highest rank among them was Major General, a total of three people. The others were all Senior Colonels, and their ages were all between twenty-five and twenty-seven.

He didn't know until he heard, and he was shocked when he heard it. Listening to these people reporting their ranks, Nie Yan's heart trembled. These guys were all from special forces brigades. To reach the level of Senior Colonel and Major General at such a young age, one could imagine that they would have unlimited prospects in the future. Mo Yuntian had entrusted such a group of people to him for training. A sense of confusion arose in his heart.

"In another year, they will participate in a military-wide competition. If they can get a ranking, they will join the 012 Mecha Force. Originally, I just wanted you to help them achieve the biological current docking with faith during this year. But I didn't expect your strength to exceed my imagination. It's enough to be their instructor. This year, they are entrusted to you," Mo Yuntian said.

"I will do my best," Nie Yan said. He smiled wryly in his heart. He couldn't afford to offend any of these tough guys!

Mo Yuntian smiled and said, "I believe in your strength. Are you interested in joining the army? With your strength, as long as you pass the political review, joining the 012 Mecha Force is no problem. Your father was a soldier in the army, and he is now helping the country, so it is very simple to pass the political review. If you want to join the army, I think your father would be very happy."

Nie Yan quickly waved his hand and shook his head with a wry smile, "Don't embarrass me, I don't want to join the army." If Mo Yuntian told his father that, his father might really agree to him joining the army. Nie Yan didn't want to be a soldier. He considered himself unambitious and only wanted his family to be safe and the present to be peaceful, that would be enough.

Seeing that Nie Yan was very resistant, Mo Yuntian could only sigh regretfully and said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you. If you change your mind one day, come to me at any time. You only have one year to consider. After this year, it will be difficult to enter the 012 Mecha Force again."

Don't even think about it, Nie Yan thought. He would never join the army. Being a soldier meant he would have to go to space, and maybe he wouldn't be able to come back for a few years. That wasn't the life he wanted.

Hearing Nie Yan's answer, Lei Su couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet. Hadn't Nie Yan heard of the 012 Mecha Force? Didn't he know what kind of organization it was? He really wanted to kick Nie Yan and remind him. The 012 Mecha Force was a special force independent of the three services and directly commanded by the General Staff Department. It was said that the latest type of mecha would be equipped in the future. Its status was so high that it was unimaginable. He dreamed of joining such a force, but Nie Yan refused without even thinking about it.

Seeing that Nie Yan was unmoved, Mo Yuntian could only give up and said, "Then they are entrusted to you."

"Okay."

"I heard you have a guy named Ci Dao (Stab). How strong is he?" Mo Yuntian asked. Although Ci Dao's name was well-known, he had never really been in contact with him. He didn't know how strong Ci Dao really was, or if he was just a figurehead.

"Only stronger than me, not weaker. If I fight him, it would be good if I can last for twenty minutes," Nie Yan said. This was the truth. Even though his strength had recently soared, he was still far behind Ci Dao. Ci Dao's strength was much stronger than those international top killers and mercenaries who were on par with him. He sometimes even suspected that this guy Ci Dao was also a special forces soldier before he became a mercenary.

Oh? A look of surprise appeared on Mo Yuntian's face.

Hearing Nie Yan say that he could only last for twenty minutes under Ci Dao, Wang Duo and the others were a little disbelieving. After all, they had seen Nie Yan's true strength.

Nie Yan knew that Mo Yuntian and the others might not believe him, but according to his understanding of Ci Dao, Ci Dao really had this strength. He sometimes even suspected that this guy Ci Dao was also a special forces soldier before he became a mercenary.

Mo Yuntian stared into Nie Yan's eyes. Nie Yan shouldn't be joking.

"So they are entrusted to me. General Yun Tian, please rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." A thought flashed through Nie Yan's mind. Although he didn't want to be a soldier, it was definitely right to have a good relationship with those in the army. Wang Duo, Lin Yi and others had unlimited prospects in the future. Having a good relationship with these people, whether Wang Duo, Lin Yi and others could enter the 012 Force or not, would be of great help to him.

Mo Yuntian didn't know that Nie Yan was already considering how to build his own relationship network.

"After you enter the game, come to the Carol City Crazy Guild's office to find me. As for during the day, I will have Ci Dao train you," Nie Yan said to Wang Duo, Lin Yi and others.

"Yes!" Wang Duo, Lin Yi and others immediately stood at attention and replied.

Wang Duo, Lin Yi and others had already begun to treat Nie Yan as an instructor. Nie Yan naturally accepted it. In the army, this kind of superior-subordinate relationship was the easiest to remember. When Nie Yan's father was a soldier, he was once the squad leader of a squad. Later, when his father retired, many people in that squad had done well in the army system. Even after more than ten years, they still remembered his father and affectionately called him "Old Squad Leader" whenever they met him.

If he wanted Wang Duo, Lin Yi and others to remember him, he had to make them truly respect him! He really didn't have much experience in how to train a soldier, so he could only push it to Ci Dao, while he had to start from the game.

Nie Yan said a word to the empty space, "Ci Dao, come out."

Wang Duo, Lin Yi and the others were wondering who Nie Yan was talking to. There was no one there at all. Just then, a slightly thin figure appeared in the corner of the gym, where several small instruments were placed.

Wang Duo, Lin Yi, and even Mo Yuntian, Lei Su, and the others were shocked. They had been in the gym for so long, but they had never discovered that there was a person hidden in the gym. What kind of stealth ability was this! If Ci Dao wanted to kill them, none of the people here could survive! At such a close distance, if equipped with good weapons, one could be killed silently in a short period of time.

"What a strong guy!" Wang Duo, Lin Yi and others thought to themselves.

Ci Dao's name was indeed well-deserved.

At this time, Mo Yuntian couldn't help but be deeply jealous of Nie Yan, who had recruited such a master. If a person like Ci Dao was placed in the army system, what kind of storm would it stir up!

Wang Duo, Lin Yi and the others finally believed that Nie Yan's previous evaluation of Ci Dao was true.

"Next, he will train your fighting skills," Nie Yan said to Wang Duo, Lin Yi and the others.
