Chapter 190. Cannot Find Anyone? Sorry, I Have a Mini-Map!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
In the central region of the Eastern Great Desert, the helicopter’s rotors stirred up fierce gusts of wind, sending yellow sand and dust billowing across the desert below.
The helicopter door slowly slid open. A soldier in special operations gear kicked down the fast-rope and waved to Jiang Yichen’s group of five.
“Confirm your mission objective and begin the operation!”
Jiang Yichen and the others nodded, tapped the exercise wristbands on their wrists, and slid down onto the soft desert ground.
The helicopter whipped up sand and gravel before gradually disappearing into the sky.
At the exact moment Jiang Yichen’s group landed, a virtual window popped up on their exercise wristbands, accompanied by a voice broadcast.
“First Military District exercise group, your exercise mission is…”
“Eliminate the other nine groups within two hours!”
?
Su Linyu, Tang Long, and the others were all stunned. They blinked, as if trying to make sure they had not misread it.
“No way! What kind of mission is this? Eliminate the other nine groups, and within two hours too?” Tang Long found it hard to believe.
Every group was separated by one hundred kilometers. Even with a flying Magical Artifact, it would still take more than ten minutes.
At more than ten minutes per group, just traveling to all nine groups would take two hours by itself.
And outside items like talismans were not allowed in the new recruit tactical exercise.
How the hell were they supposed to play this?
Su Linyu and Chu Xingchen also looked troubled. For them, this mission really was a bit too difficult.
With both travel time and combat against the other groups, there was simply not enough time.
“Damn it! This is impossible!” Jiang Feng snapped angrily after looking over the mission.
“Do not panic yet. Yichen is a Space-type martial artist. If he uses Spatial Jump directly, then the travel time can be removed. There might still be a chance to complete it.”
Chu Xingchen suddenly looked at Jiang Yichen as he spoke.
The others’ eyes lit up slightly, but a new problem quickly arose.
“Brother Yichen, how far can your spatial teleportation go?” Su Linyu asked curiously.
Jiang Yichen thought about it. To be honest, he had never actually tested it, so he could only say, “As far as I want, I guess.”
Back in the Seventh Realm, one step had already been enough for him to cross half of Huaxia. Now that he was in the Eighth Realm, it would only be farther.
But the moment he said that, surprise flashed across all four of their eyes.
As far as he wanted?
That was a little too exaggerated.
Even Huaxia’s strongest Space-type martial artist could only teleport forty or fifty kilometers at most, and perhaps reach around eighty kilometers if he went all out.
Still, considering that Jiang Yichen casually handed out Heaven-rank Cultivation Arts, one hundred kilometers ought to be possible.
That was the difference deep family foundations made.
Tang Long looked at Jiang Yichen, then at Jiang Feng, and asked in confusion, “You two are brothers, so how is the gap between you this huge?”
Jiang Feng: “…”
“All right, the travel issue is solved. But we still do not know where the other groups are.” Chu Xingchen frowned slightly.
Su Linyu also fell into thought. “That is true. Instructor Qin said they also have an experienced tactical veteran accompanying them. If they hide, it will be very hard for us to find them.”
“Then what do we do?” Tang Long looked lost. “These instructors really are something, giving us a mission this difficult.”
Jiang Feng looked pensive as well, but for the moment, he had no good solution either.
Off to the side, Jiang Yichen, who had planned to let them perform and simply wait to be carried, shook his head slightly.
They were already stumped before the mission had even begun. Their ability still was not quite enough.
“Forget it. Just follow me. Is finding someone really that difficult?”
???
The four of them froze, question marks practically appearing over their heads.
“Brother Yichen, do you have a way?” Su Linyu asked curiously.
Jiang Yichen gave a slight nod and closed his eyes.
Mini-Map, activate!
In an instant, the terrain within a thousand-kilometer radius of the Eastern Great Desert appeared before his eyes.
Nine blinking light-red dots were visible at a glance.
Cannot find people in disguise? Sorry, I have cheated.
Once Jiang Yichen had clearly located the nine groups, he was just about to close the Mini-Map when he noticed that two black dots had appeared within its range, and they were very close by.
Black dots—powerful assassins.
??
Assassins?
Why would there be assassins here?
Jiang Yichen swept them with his Mental Perception and found two Seventh-Realm assassins lurking on a sand dune several thousand meters away.
With that level of strength, they were still working as assassins?
Jiang Yichen released the little white snake, “Medusa,” and sent her a mental command to eliminate the two assassins.
The little white snake nodded her tiny head and burrowed into the sand, disappearing.
He had no habit of keeping threats alive just to see what they intended to do.
Jiang Yichen closed the Mini-Map and slowly opened his eyes.
“Found them. I will send their coordinates to your wristbands. Let’s split up and move separately. It will also be a good test of how much you have improved lately.”
?
He found them just by closing his eyes for a moment?
Su Linyu and the other three looked puzzled.
Jiang Yichen did not explain further and simply began giving orders.
“Tang Long, you are responsible for the Eighth and Ninth Military District groups. Linyu and I will handle the Second, Third, and Fourth Military District groups. Chu Xingchen will take the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Military District groups. Jiang Feng…”
He paused for a moment. Jiang Feng had only just broken through to the Fifth Realm. Asking him to handle a group alone would be too much.
“Jiang Feng, go with Chu Xingchen.”
Su Linyu and the other two nodded. After seeing the locations on their wristbands, astonishment flickered in their eyes.
He could find people just by closing his eyes and resting? That was far too incredible.
Jiang Feng, on the other hand, frowned slightly because he had not been allowed to act alone. He clenched his fists for quite a while, but in the end, he still did not voice any objection.
Once the arrangements were complete, Jiang Yichen slowly raised his hand, and ripples of spatial power spread through the air around them.
In the blink of an eye, the five of them vanished from where they stood.
On a nearby sand dune, the assassins, whose entire bodies were buried beneath the sand with only their eyes and noses exposed, saw their targets disappear and immediately rose from the sand.
“Hyena, where did they go?”
The other assassin took out a tracking device. “The position of the assassination target, Jiang Feng, is now one hundred kilometers away from us.”
The assassin codenamed Earthfiend was shocked when he heard that.
Covering one hundred kilometers through Spatial Jump in such a short moment was a little too outrageous.
“After them! They have split up, which makes this the perfect chance to kill our target, Jiang Feng.”
Killing intent flashed in Earthfiend’s eyes. This job had already been put on hold for half a month. If not for today’s new recruit tactical exercise, they would have had to keep waiting for another opportunity.
Hyena nodded and handed Earthfiend a Teleportation Talisman. “The employer provided this. Let’s use it to catch up.”
Looking at the million-yuan Teleportation Talisman, Earthfiend sighed. “This employer is really rich.”
“Move!”
The two of them crawled out of the sand and were just about to use the talisman to hunt down Jiang Feng.
Suddenly, both of them felt a chill run down their spines as the threat of death descended upon them.
The instinct of an assassin made them abandon their original positions at the fastest speed possible.
Earthfiend dove straight into the sand, but although Hyena reacted quickly, he was still struck by a beam from nowhere and turned into a stone statue.
Seeing this from the sand, Earthfiend immediately activated the Teleportation Talisman and vanished.
Rustle, rustle, rustle—
Medusa, who had taken the form of a little snake, stared in the direction Earthfiend had fled, her vertical pupils narrowing.
“What a slippery little rat.”
Medusa transformed into a voluptuous woman in a red dress, her figure flashing forward at extreme speed as she chased in the direction of Jiang Feng and Chu Xingchen.
