Chapter 188 The Squad Heads to

In the mysterious realm of the Cycle of Reincarnation, strength is like a bright, shining golden signboard hanging high, the foundation for survival, and the only pass to glory and the unknown.

Lin Yao has been well-versed in this art since he stepped into this mysterious space.

Every day, he trained like a wound-up machine, relentlessly in a small, dimly lit room filled with training equipment.

Sweat soaked his clothes, streaming down his face and dripping onto the cold ground, but the determination in his eyes never wavered.

Every burst of power, every display of skill, is an attempt by him to move towards a higher level.

While improving his strength, Lin Yao never slacked off, cleverly revealing to everyone that he had successfully passed through the second and third mission spaces.

When facing Lu Yiwen and Lu Yao, he perfectly demonstrated his transformation from an initial clueless newbie to a seemingly experienced veteran.

All this disguise was not difficult for him.

After all, during the period of being an apprentice reincarnator, the time spent in the Blue Star Federation was as short as a fleeting moment.

Once inside the Reincarnation Space, time there is frozen compared to that of the Blue Star Federation.

This special rule allows him to easily create the illusion that he has already completed three mission space trials.

As time went by, Lin Yao's latent potential, like a flame ignited, gradually shone brightly, and his strength also made a significant leap.

Lu Yiwen and Lu Yao witnessed Lin Yao's growth, their eyes filled with satisfaction and joy.

Sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves, casting dappled patterns on the courtyard floor. Lu Yiwen, beaming, strode over to Lin Yao, patted him firmly on the shoulder, and said in a loud voice:

"Xiao Yao, you've made amazing progress lately! If you keep going like this, your future is limitless! Who knows, one day you might become a pillar of our guild!"

Lu Yao stood to the side, arms crossed, her eyes gleaming with admiration, a slight smile playing on her lips, as she echoed:

"Yes, Brother Lin Yao, everyone has seen your hard work these past few days. Keep up the good work!"

That day, Lu Yiwen accidentally learned that Lin Yao's "advancement mission" was to go to the world where the Imperial Revolutionary Army was fraught with danger.

Upon hearing the news, his relaxed expression instantly turned serious, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

After a brief silence, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes revealing a firm resolve, and looked at Lin Yao earnestly, saying:

"Lin Yao, this advancement mission is no easy task. It's too dangerous to go alone. Don't worry, Uncle Lu will definitely find you some reliable helpers! With their assistance, you'll have a better chance of completing the mission."

Lin Yao originally had his own plan. He intended to complete the mission under the guise of a solo team, successfully obtain the identity of a formal reincarnator, and then communicate with the forces behind Lu Yiwen.

However, Lu Yiwen's care and sincerity disrupted his plans. When Lu Yiwen learned that Lin Yao had not only completed the first two tasks alone, but was also planning to challenge this crucial advancement task by himself, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

He frowned, put his hands on his hips, and said sternly:

"You reckless child! This advancement mission is a crucial period of transformation; a slight mistake could lead to utter ruin. This time, I'm determined to arrange teammates for you. This will ensure your safety and allow you to reap greater rewards from the mission! You can't keep acting on your own whims!"

Looking into Lu Yiwen's concerned eyes, Lin Yao felt a warm current surge in his heart. Although he felt that Lu Yiwen was worrying too much, he still nodded gratefully and said:

"Uncle Lu, I understand, thank you for your concern."

Lu Yiwen is decisive and has a strong drive to get things done.

Over the next few days, he ran around everywhere, using all his connections, and quickly found an elite team for Lin Yao from the same guild.

To help Lin Yao better integrate into the team, he specially sent Zhou Zhuoran to assist with communication.

When the members of this elite team learned that a stranger named Lin Yao was suddenly going to join the team, the meeting room erupted in chaos.

The captain was a tall, stern-faced man. His arms were crossed, his brows furrowed deeply, and he spoke with a hint of displeasure:

"Another nepotism case? Isn't this just plain hindering us? We can't afford any mistakes on this mission!"

The other team members chimed in, all complaining at once.

"Exactly. We've finally gotten to this level of synergy, and the arrival of a new person will definitely disrupt our rhythm."

"I wonder how capable Lin Yao really is. I hope he doesn't become a burden."

Lin Yao had anticipated their reaction. He simply smiled faintly, put his hands in his pockets, and offered no further explanation.

He understood that since he hadn't yet figured out the details of these powerful forces and was unwilling to reveal his true strength, it wasn't a big deal for these guys to criticize him a few times.

So be it, being a relative is fine. Having this title might save you some unnecessary trouble.

"Xiao Yao is capable; he has the potential to do great things."

Seeing the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Zhou Zhuoran glanced at Lin Yao, who remained unfazed, and inwardly praised him before quickly stepping in to smooth things over.

He smiled broadly and gestured with his hands in the air a few times to signal everyone to be quiet:

"Don't jump to conclusions just yet! Lin Yao may be a newcomer, but he's quite capable. Besides, this is Chairman Lu's arrangement, so let's give him face. More people mean more strength, and maybe this mission will be completed more smoothly!"

However, the team members were still somewhat reluctant.

At this moment, a female team member with a ponytail and sharp eyes stepped forward, arms crossed, and spoke:

“Brother Zhou, it’s not that we’re disrespecting the president, it’s just that this mission is too important. We don’t want anything to go wrong because of a newcomer. If the mission fails because of him, all our previous efforts will be wasted.”

Zhou Zhuoran patiently explained, "I understand your concerns. How about this, let's observe Lin Yao's performance first. If he really can't handle it, we can figure out a solution later. We're all here to complete the mission, aren't we?"

After Zhou Zhuoran's earnest persuasion, the team members reluctantly agreed to let Lin Yao join.

Afterwards, the team members reunited at the guild's training ground.

Lin Yao stood aside, quietly observing his teammates who were about to embark on the mission together.

The captain was dressed in a black combat suit, the hem of which fluttered gently in the breeze, exuding a powerful aura.

The female team member with the ponytail had a shrewd and capable look in her eyes, and her hands were constantly fiddling with the weapon at her waist, giving off a feeling that she was not to be trifled with.

Several other team members were burly, with muscles bulging like steel, making them formidable opponents.

Each person exudes a unique aura.

Subsequently, with the help of guild privileges, Lin Yao and his group successfully formed a team and prepared to enter the Samsara Space to travel to the world of Akame ga Kill!
