The next day, as dawn was barely breaking, An Qing couldn’t wait any longer and started knocking on the door.

“Brother-in-law, sister, get up quick!”

Xue An no longer needed to sleep, but out of habit, he still lay in bed feigning sleep.

Upon hearing An Qing’s shouting, he frowned slightly.

What’s happening?

When he got up and opened the door, An Qing greeted him with a mischievous grin, “Brother-in-law, I’m really sorry, but it looks like you won’t be able to stay at home!”

“Huh?”

“I should have told you yesterday, but you had just got off the plane and I didn’t say anything! Fire Phoenix is going to participate in the World Special Forces Competition, and it normally would be the general’s duty to lead the team, but the general is no longer with us.”

As she said this, An Qing’s expression turned somewhat somber.

“Therefore, the military just issued an order for you to lead the team over there!”

“Me lead the team?” Xue An was somewhat surprised.

“Yes! This was my suggestion after all, since Fire Phoenix was built by your own hands. In terms of experience and prestige, you are the most suitable candidate!” said An Qing earnestly.

Xue An was rather amused, “It seems… I’m not part of the military, right? This order doesn’t apply to me, does it?”

An Qing smiled slyly, “Didn’t the general confer upon you the rank of Major General Vermilion Bird? From that moment on, you’ve been a member of the military!”

Xue An:

“Brother-in-law, please don’t be angry, it’s just that this matter is very important… .”

Xue An waved his hand dismissively, “Alright, if it were anyone else doing this, I would certainly refuse, but you’re an exception. Besides, I had promised General Lin to look after everyone.”

“So you agree! Haha! Brother-in-law, you’re the best!” An Qing danced with joy.

When the news that Xue An would be leading the team spread back to the Fire Phoenix camp, all the members of Fire Phoenix got excited.

“The instructor is coming back!”

“That’s great, with the instructor leading, we’re sure to take first place this time!”

A few of the newer team members who had joined later were especially excited.

They had heard plenty about Xue An’s exploits, especially his method of using the Heart Demon realm to test the Fire Phoenix team members, which was something those who hadn’t had the chance to experience it envied greatly.

At this moment, Xue An was chatting with An Yan and his daughter.

“This time, Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian won’t go with me, after all, it’s not convenient for us to appear in the military,” An Yan said.

Xue An nodded, “That’s fine. I just asked, and the location of the competition this time is in Siberia, not too far from us. Traveling there by flying sword won’t take more than a day!”

“Alright! Honey, be careful out there!” An Yan advised.

Xue An smiled and suddenly pulled out a delicately made flat-bottomed pan from his bag.

“Look, this is a divine artifact I just forged for you, take it with you for self-defense!”

An Yan was somewhat torn between laughter and tears but found it very handy upon taking it.

What An Yan didn’t know was that Xue An had gone to great lengths to create this flat-bottomed pan. Although lacking various precious materials, its power might not even reach that of a magical treasure.

But Xue An had used the highest level of forging technique, the Heart Refining Technique, which gave this ordinary pan a hint of spiritual charm.

“This item suits you best, and no one will suspect its purpose. You can even use it to fry dishes on a regular day; it’s simply perfect!” Xue An said with a chuckle.

An Yan excitedly tested it out a few times and then nodded in satisfaction, “Indeed, it’s very easy to handle, but I don’t know how effective it will be for hitting people!”

Xue An suddenly felt a chill down his spine and then said sternly to An Qing, “I think we should head out now; if we delay, we might cause a mishap!”

Suppressing a laugh, An Qing nodded, “Yes!”

When Xue An appeared on the military aircraft bound for Siberia, all the Fire Phoenix members stood up and saluted him.

“Greetings, Instructor!”

Their voices shook the barracks, causing other soldiers to look over.

Xue An sized up these former subordinates of his, nodding in satisfaction.

He had once given each of them a cultivation technique, and it seemed they had all progressed well.

“Alright, take a seat!”

Only then did everyone sit down, after which Cheng Hao and Sun Ling came over.

“Instructor, we heard we’re going to Siberia this time? And that the competition is said to be the toughest in recent years?”

Xue An nodded, “Yes, Siberia. But as for the difficulty, I’m not sure. Why? Are you scared?”

Cheng Hao laughed. “I’m afraid it won’t be challenging enough, and winning first place won’t feel as rewarding.”

Sun Ling apologized to Xue An with some embarrassment: “Instructor, about the other day…”

Xue An waved it off, “It’s in the past, no need to mention it.”

On the flight to Siberia, Xue An talked with his team members.

If they had any questions about their cultivation, Xue An would explain them one by one.

So by the time they arrived in Siberia, the more outstanding members of the group, like Cheng Hao and others, had subtly increased their cultivation level.

As soon as they got off the plane, a graceful figure quickly approached and saluted Xue An.

“Mr. Xue! I didn’t expect to see you so soon!”

Xue An recognized the speaker as Su Shanna, the instructor from Country E hired by Commander Hu.

In this barracks full of men, Su Shanna’s arrival was like a shot of adrenaline, exciting everyone. At the very least, the men passing by couldn’t take their eyes off her.

Only Xue An responded with an indifferent smile, “What are you doing here?”

“This time I’m representing the military of Country E! When I saw your name on the list of team leaders, I made a point of coming here to wait for you!” Su Shanna said with a smile.

At this moment, Cheng Hao and the others gave Xue An some winks and chuckles before laughing and walking away.

Su Shanna said enviously, “Your team members are simply too strong; it’s admirable!”

Just then, a chilling voice came from behind, “Hmph, I think they’re just average at best! All talk but no show!”

With those words, a bald man slowly walked over.

This man had a fierce appearance, dark skin, and cold light emanating from his triangular eyes, giving off a very uncomfortable feeling.

Seeing this man, Su Shanna couldn’t help but frown.

“Black Snake, what are you doing here?”

Black Snake flashed a toothy smile, his gaze at Su Shanna filled with naked desire, “I came to see for myself just how impressive the famous Fire Phoenix is, as well as this instructor who’s been hyped up like an immortal.”

“And the result…” A cold smirk appeared on Black Snake’s lips.

“Is nothing special!”

Su Shanna frowned slightly and gave Xue An an apologetic smile, as if to suggest he shouldn’t get angry.

Xue An, however, looked at Black Snake with interest before smiling noncommittally.

“Interesting, to think someone would actually dare to crossbreed with livestock.”

This comment caused Black Snake’s face to contort with rage, just as he was about to retort.

Su Shanna’s expression darkened, “Instructor Black Snake, I believe you are aware of the principles of the Siberian training camp: all private fights and verbal provocations are strictly forbidden, otherwise, you will be disqualified from the competition! Understand?”

Black Snake licked his dry lips, “Fine, I will let my boys tear your subordinates to shreds on the competition field!”

Xue An couldn’t be bothered to respond to such threats.
