After announcing the teams, Han Qian himself felt like laughing. This demon hunt squad was probably the most peculiar one in history.

An executioner-turned-guardian knight as the captain, a blind assassin… those two were at least reliable. The remaining four were all incredibly unreliable. A shield warrior who couldn’t defend, a magician who couldn’t attack, a priest who couldn’t heal, and a summoner who summoned unpredictable creatures. Each of them was a freak among freaks.

Yet, these six oddballs had almost all been the top performers in their respective temples’ selection competitions, either in the preliminaries or the finals. No one knew what kind of sparks this combination would create, but in any case, this demon hunt squad was now complete.

Long Haochen stepped down from the stage and stood with his teammates. He felt a bit strange, but he wasn’t complaining. At least he and Cai’er were together. As for the team’s shortcomings, he would find a way to make up for them.

“Yang Wenzhao, begin the selection process for your team. From now on, your demon hunt squad will be tentatively named Demon Hunt Squad Number Two.”

“Huh?” Yang Wenzhao had been staring at Chen Ying’er, feeling frustrated that Long Haochen had chosen her. Hearing Han Qian’s words, he finally came to his senses.

In his selection process, Yang Wenzhao was a bit luckier than Long Haochen. At least the teammates he picked were relatively normal. And when it came to choosing the summoner, he got the one who made it to the top eight, the summoner temple’s true number one, fifth-tier summoner Liao Yu. This cheered Yang Wenzhao up a lot. Huang Yi and Liao Yu were both quite strong, ranking high in their respective temples.

Next was Mu Ning of Demon Hunt Squad Number Three’s turn to choose. It seemed he had used up all his luck beforehand. Of the four members he selected, only the summoner had made it to the top sixteen. This was Fang Zhu, the summoner who had summoned a giant bear when facing Cai’er, but he was only at the fourth tier.

The first three demon hunt squads were now formed. Next was the dividing up of the remaining participants.

To everyone’s surprise, the fourth demon hunt squad…

In order, the fourth demon hunt squad first chose a knight: Li Xin. Then, Li Xin’s luck was simply off the charts. The warrior she chose was the one who had made it to the top eight, narrowly losing to Mu Ning. His overall strength in the warrior temple was probably second only to Wang Yuanyuan.

The assassin was one of the top sixteen. The magician was a rare space-attribute magician with a fourth-tier peak cultivation. The priest was the only fifth-tier bishop-level grand priest among the participants from the priest temple. And the summoner was Bai Xiaomo, the plant-type summoner who had given Yang Wenzhao so much trouble, ultimately defeated only by the power of the Sun Fire.

The members of Li Xin’s team might not have been the strongest individually, but they were the most balanced. Especially the priest and the summoner. A powerful priest could ensure the team’s sustained combat ability, while Bai Xiaomo, a plant summoner skilled in controlling the battlefield, compensated for Li Xin’s weakness in defense as an executioner knight.

Unsurprisingly, the position of captain for this fourth demon hunt squad fell to the only fifth-tier expert, the priest.

The wheel kept spinning, and demon hunt squads were formed one after another. The entire team selection ceremony took up a whole morning, finally completing the formation of Demon Hunt Squads Number One through Ten.

Looking at the demon hunt squad members standing in ten rows below, Han Qian said, “From now on, you are officially members of your respective demon hunt squads. You are the most important partners to each other, partners you can trust with your lives. In the history of the alliance, there have been countless demon hunt squads that have reached the pinnacle of glory. I hope that one day, you can become one of them. Remember, never complain about your teammates. Today, you may not rank high in the final competition, but in the near future, you may become the strongest.”

“From now on, you will all take a three-day break. During these three days, the captains of each demon hunt squad must take your teammates to the demon hunt squad mission tower to register and obtain your demon hunt squad number. Three days later, the top sixteen contestants will go to the Saint Alliance Treasure Trove in the morning to select secret skills. Those ranked ninth to sixteenth can choose one secret skill, and those ranked first to eighth can choose two secret skills. In addition to Long Haochen, the top three will each receive a spiritual stove, to be awarded by their respective temples.”

“Dismissed.”

As soon as the word “dismissed” was spoken, all the contestants felt a sense of relief.

It was finally over. From the initial preliminaries, to the subsequent group stage, to the finals, it had been nearly a month. The stronger the person, the more matches they experienced. Now that the selection competition was finally over, these contestants who had made it to the top sixty finally had their own teams, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. As for how the team competition would proceed, they didn’t know, and they didn’t need to think too much about it for now. They would just relax and rest for a few days first.

“Captain, it’s fate that we could form a demon hunt squad. Today, I’m buying, let’s all have a good meal,” Lin Xin said generously.

Long Haochen chuckled and said, “Don’t call me captain, just call me by my name. What do you all think?”

Sima Xian glanced at Lin Xin and said, “I have no objections, but I have a big appetite.”

Lin Xin chuckled and said, “I’ll definitely make sure you’re full.”

Wang Yuanyuan said nonchalantly, “I have no objections either. Since someone’s treating, I’m not going to waste it.”

Chen Ying’er giggled and said, “Okay!”

Cai’er naturally didn’t say much, just nodded lightly. Holding Long Haochen’s hand, she exuded a gentle aura. However, the others present had all seen her power, and no one dared to underestimate her. After all, Long Haochen was young, and although he had won the final championship, he might still lack some authority. But if you added Cai’er, absolutely no one in the younger generation would dare to disobey.

Not only was their demon hunt squad like this, but since it was lunchtime, the members of the other demon hunt squads also needed to get to know each other, and almost all of them chose to have a meal together to become familiar with each other.

Lin Xin led the group out of the Knight Trial Field, turned right, walked a short distance, entered another street, and went less than a hundred meters to arrive at a grand hotel with five floors.

The hotel was resplendent, and eight tall, scantily clad girls were responsible for greeting guests at the entrance, causing Sima Xian’s eyes to widen.

Lin Xin was clearly not here for the first time. He had a girl at the door lead the group into the hotel, and effortlessly went to a spacious room on the third floor facing the street. He said a few words to the waiter.

Sitting around a table, the six of them, except for Cai’er, all felt a bit awkward. Although they had seen each other, they couldn’t say they were very familiar.

Lin Xin stood up and said with a smile, “Well, we’re a team now, so how about we introduce ourselves first? Mainly introduce our abilities, so that the captain can better coordinate when we’re in action. I’ll go first. My name is Lin Xin, I’m nineteen years old this year, one meter eighty-one tall, sixty-nine kilograms, unmarried…”

“Cut it out, why don’t you talk about something practical?” Chen Ying’er rolled her eyes. “Are you trying to find a wife?”

Lin Xin didn’t get angry, and said, “Okay, then I’ll talk about something practical. I am a fifth-tier, second-level Magister, specializing in magic control and magic defense. I am also a magic pharmacist, capable of refining various pills. I have confidence that within three months, I can use the pills I refine to help any of you who haven’t reached the fifth tier to break through.”

Among the six of them, there were two who had not broken through to the fifth tier: the violent priest Sima Xian and the unreliable loli summoner Chen Ying’er. They both widened their eyes when they heard his words. Wang Yuanyuan also had a strange look in her eyes. They were all well aware of how expensive pills were, especially those that could be used for cultivation. They naturally couldn’t imagine that this seemingly useless, low-level, non-attacking magician was actually a magic pharmacist. Looking at it that way, he seemed to have some use in the team.

Long Haochen said, “I can vouch for Brother Lin. He gave me some pills back then, and I was able to break through to the fifth tier during the competition thanks to one of them, which I named Gathering Spirit Pill.”

Lin Xin said frankly, “I can’t use attack magic, but I will definitely do everything I can to do something beneficial for our demon hunt squad. In battle, I can defend and provide you with various pills at the same time.”

As a magician who couldn’t attack, his biggest worry was not being accepted by the others, because in that case, even if he joined the demon hunt squad, he wouldn’t be able to integrate into it.

Sima Xian laughed and said, “No wonder you were always saying ‘Bro has medicine’ when you were competing with me, so you’re really a medicine maker. As long as it’s not fake medicine, that’s fine.”

Lin Xin said unhappily, “You’re not much more reliable than me. I can’t attack, and you’re a priest who doesn’t heal? That’s probably going to be a big problem for our team. I need to refine more pills in preparation.”

Sima Xian chuckled and said, “Alright, let’s not judge each other. In this team, besides the captain and Miss Cai’er, who is really reliable?”

Wang Yuanyuan’s eyebrows furrowed, “Who are you calling unreliable? I’m a powerful warrior.”

Sima Xian snorted and said, “I’ve heard all about it. You’re a shield warrior with a shield who doesn’t even defend. How reliable can you be? As for Ying’er’s reputation, it’s like thunder in the ears. The most unreliable summoner in history, right?”

Chen Ying’er didn’t care, fiddling with her fingers and said, “Being unreliable now doesn’t mean I’ll be unreliable in the future. Anyway, fighting and killing is a man’s job. I’ll cheer you on.”
