If you ask Lin Su which of the 32 combat teams he wanted to join, he probably couldn't tell you.After all, he had never encountered so many instructors and simply did not know which were good and which were not.
But if you asked him which of the 32 combat teams he did not want to join, Lin Su would answer without hesitation.
Whichever team Li Hong was in, he did not want to join.
After all, during the flight just now, this instructor had not given him a good impression.
Unfortunately, Lin Su had no choice in the matter, and his luck was not good either.
So, the moment he saw Li Hong raise his hand, Lin Su's feelings were somewhat complicated.
Still, he steadied himself, clenched the long spear in his hand, and quickly walked towards the approaching Li Hong, finally standing not far in front of him.
The two exchanged glances, then looked away.
Li Hong said nothing, which made Lin Su breathe a sigh of relief.
As Lin Su approached, other instructors, who had not yet had their turn, examined him unconsciously. Seeing their eyes land on Lin Su's spear, each of them showed an interested expression.
It was simply because Lin Su was the only one in the arena with a weapon, and the long spear he held looked quite impressive, making him stand out among the other recruits.
However, they only looked for a moment longer before refocusing their attention on other freshmen in the arena, seeking promising prospects.
After all, this recruit named Lin Su was already confirmed, and would not be on their own combat team.
So, there was no need to pay too much attention. Explore stories at empire
In the arena, the roll call continued.
The names being called now would undoubtedly be Lin Su's future teammates, and thus Lin Su couldn't help but pay more attention.
Although most of the names read were unfamiliar, having one or two familiar faces would make his upcoming recruit training much more interesting.
People are like that; in unfamiliar settings, they subconsciously seek familiar things to help themselves better navigate the difficult waters of starting a new life in a strange place.
Lin Su was no exception.
One by one, the names were called out quickly. Each time a name was announced, a freshman quickly stepped out of the crowd and walked towards this side.
Soon, Lin Su's eyes lit up.
"Combat Team 19, Zhang Xiaoyu!"
A familiar face!
He quickly turned his head and saw the familiar figure jogging towards him, and his face couldn't help but show a bit more of a smile.
Zhang Xiaoyu was very capable, ranked second in the entrance assessment, weaker than Lin Su himself but still a decent teammate; if they were in the same team, the upcoming tasks might be easier.
Though his Guardian Beast's attribute lacked advantages, it didn't have any real drawbacks either.
With no other familiar faces in Combat Team 19, Zhang Xiaoyu naturally walked directly to Lin Su's side.
Looking around, Zhang Xiaoyu lowered his voice and said, "Big guy, why are you still carrying a weapon?"
He had noticed Lin Su's long spear from a distance and couldn't help but wonder.
"Um..." Lin Su coughed lightly, "My marksmanship is pretty good; thought it might come in handy, so I brought it along."
"You know marksmanship?" At Lin Su's casual remark, envy flashed in Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes, but he quickly scratched his head and chuckled, "Well, I also prepared a weapon."
"What weapon?" Now Lin Su was genuinely interested.
He knew martial arts because he had learned them in the Divine Martial World; normally, Beast Tamers from Blue Star didn't study this, right?
Could it be that this shy-looking young man had learned some martial arts as well?
"This." Zhang Xiaoyu pulled out an item from his bosom and showed it to Lin Su, "I heard the seller call it… brass knuckles?"
What the hell?!
Looking at the spiked brass knuckles in Zhang Xiaoyu's hand, Lin Su's expression instantly became animated.
The brass knuckles were clearly custom-made, each finger hole was large, and there were only three of them.
This weapon obviously wasn't for Zhang Xiaoyu's personal use; only his Guardian Beast could wield these brass knuckles.
Speaking of which, Fast Punch plus brass knuckles could indeed be effective. If used well, the Guardian Beast's threat could be significantly increased, providing a significant boost to combat ability.
Zhang Xiaoyu had ideas!
"Did you have these custom made?" Lin Su was curious.
"Not exactly, I took my Guardian Beast to the Guardian Beast Association's equipment department yesterday to see if there were any items that could enhance its combat ability, given that it's of the combat type. I read on forums that combat-type beasts excel in physical attacks, and that early stage equipment can significantly boost strength," Zhang Xiaoyu said openly.
"Then, they had just developed and modified this type of weapon for my Guardian Beast's new combat breed. I had Mushroom Head try it out; it liked it, so I bought it," he continued, then showing a pained smile, "This thing is expensive, reportedly made from a type of fourth-grade resource, it can withstand elite-level use, and even leaders find it hard to break."
"If I hadn't already received the reward points for placing second in the assessments, I really couldn't have afforded it."
Indeed." Lin Su nodded in agreement.
A piece of fourth-grade resource typically cost between 200 to 500 contribution points. If modified into special equipment, the price could rise even further. For Lin Su at that time, of course, it was nothing much, but for other Beast Tamers, it was quite a sum.
