"Brother Wu!" Chu Tian, accompanied by Lu Qing, strode over and greeted him warmly.
Yang Wu and the others immediately stood up.
"Captain!"
they called out hastily.
Yang Wu didn't speak, as he didn't know what to call him.
"Captain!" Wu Tong glanced at Lu Qing behind Chu Tian and asked with a smile, "When can I attend your wedding?"
"Haha…" Chu Tian laughed happily, "Soon, soon! When the time comes, Brother Wu, you'd better prepare a big gift for me!"
"No problem!" Wu Tong laughed as well.
Chu Tian still didn't immediately ask about Yang Wu, but instead chatted with Wu Tong and the others about the past.
Yang Wu stood quietly to the side, listening intently.
Seeing Yang Wu's behavior, Chu Tian nodded inwardly.
Most of today's talented martial artists have a tendency to be arrogant, but Yang Wu remained very quiet even when left out, which already earned him Chu Tian's favor.
However, this goodwill alone, even with Wu Tong's favor, wasn't enough for him to immediately recruit Yang Wu into the team. He still had to consider the safety of all team members.
"Young man, your name is Yang Wu, right?"
Chu Tian, who was chatting with Wu Tong and the others, suddenly asked Yang Wu.
Everyone in the conversation paused, seemingly having forgotten about Yang Wu.
Yang Wu, of course, didn't hesitate and quickly replied, "Yes, I am Yang Wu!"
At this moment, Wu Tong also realized and quickly said, "Right, right, this is Yang Wu."
Chu Tian waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then asked Yang Wu, "Yang Wu! You were introduced by Brother Wu, so I can give you a chance to join the Phantom Team. However, you'll have to spar with either Wang Zhi or Brother Zheng later. If you can gain everyone's approval, you can stay! Don't worry, they definitely won't use strength or speed exceeding yours."
Chu Tian's tone was extremely calm, yet it conveyed a sense of unwavering resolve.
Although Yang Wu was introduced by Wu Tong, Chu Tian dared not easily bring him into the Phantom Squad.
The martial arts team constantly ventured into the wilderness, always teetering on the edge of life and death; adding a burden would likely drag down the entire team.
Yang Wu glanced at Wu Tong, then at the others in the Phantom Squad, and slowly nodded, saying, "No problem!"
"So, who do you plan to choose?"
Seeing Yang Wu agree to his terms, Chu Tian looked at him with interest.
Wang Zhi and Zheng Tao were similar in strength, but their fighting styles were completely different. Moreover, Zheng Tao and Wu Tong were sworn brothers; perhaps he would secretly take care of Yang Wu.
The others had considered this, and Yang Wu had too. So, without hesitation, Yang Wu said, "If possible, I would like to ask Brother Wang for some guidance."
After speaking, Yang Wu quietly looked at Wang Zhi and Chu Tian.
At this moment, Wang Zhi also arrived. After nodding slightly to the captain, he didn't say much and went directly to the side of the training hall, picking up the battle sword and shield that had just been placed there.
Yang Wu also silently walked towards the weapon cabinet.
"Yang Wu, good luck!"
Wu Tong shouted from the side. He had brought Yang Wu here, naturally wanting him to join the Phantom Squad.
Yang Wu nodded, went to the weapon cabinet, glanced around for a moment, and selected a Po Jun series spear.
This spear was entirely silver-white, cool to the touch, and the tip gleamed with a chilling light.
"A good spear!"
Yang Wu hadn't bought any weapons yet, and the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Yi'an District didn't have any suitable weapons for him, so this was the first time he had seen such a good weapon.
However, this was the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Jiangnan Base City, where there were many even War God-level experts, so the weapons and equipment were naturally very complete.
Holding the Po Jun spear in his hand, Yang Wu's entire aura changed.

"Brother Wang, please instruct me!" Yang Wu stepped into the arena and bowed slightly to Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi didn't speak, only nodded, signaling Yang Wu to make his move.
Boom!
The instant Wang Zhi nodded, Yang Wu attacked.
This spear thrust directly at Wang Zhi's heart, swift as a galloping horse and as fast as lightning.
Wang Zhi remained standing still, his left-hand shield slightly tilted, deflecting Yang Wu's fatal blow from the side at an incredible angle.
Swish!
In the instant the two crossed paths, Wang Zhi drew his sword.
This strike was extremely insidious; using his shield as cover, Wang Zhi blocked his own attack and slashed towards Yang Wu's neck.
"Haha, Wang Zhi's swordsmanship has improved again!"
"Yeah, youth is a blessing!"
The Phantom Squad members watching the battle exchanged glances.
As for the safety of the two fighters, with their captain present, they had no reason to worry.
Seeing this, Yang Wu remained calm. With a slight lift of his left hand, he blocked Wang Zhi's deadly attack with the shaft of his spear.
Clang!
The sword and spear clashed violently. Both Yang Wu and Wang Zhi staggered back a few steps, then charged forward again, exchanging blows.
"This kid has some skill! His spear technique is far beyond just reaching the expert level!"
The people present were all elite warriors of the general level; how could they not see the exquisite skill in Yang Wu's spear technique?
"Good talent! At 24, his spear technique has reached this level. Captain, let's keep this kid here and train him well; he'll be a great general in the future!" Zheng Tao said excitedly.
Chu Tian didn't speak, but continued to watch the two constantly exchanging blows.
Just then, the situation suddenly changed.
Yang Wu's spear spun slightly, then thrust out with astonishing speed. Wang Zhi, having exhausted his sword strike, could only block with his shield.
The shield had barely touched Yang Wu's spear when it was deflected by the force of the rotation.
In desperation, Wang Zhi could no longer suppress his strength; his mid-level warrior-level power erupted instantly, and his right-hand sword suddenly accelerated, slashing fiercely at the spear shaft in Yang Wu's hand.
"Not good!"
Wang Zhi's sudden burst of power startled everyone.
At this critical moment, two throwing knives suddenly flew out from Chu Tian's body, striking Yang Wu and Wang Zhi's weapons respectively.
With two clanging sounds, both weapons were knocked away by the throwing knives.
"Ah Zhi, you lost!" Chu Tian slowly walked over, the throwing knives automatically flying back into the pockets on his leg guards. "Apologize to Yang Wu!"
Wang Zhi had already come to his senses and quickly said, "Brother Yang Wu, I was wrong this time. I'll treat you to dinner later."
He had just faced danger, and although he knew the captain was watching, he still involuntarily unleashed his full power. If the captain hadn't been watching, he probably would have really hurt Yang Wu.
"Brother Wang's swordsmanship is truly remarkable. I'll have to rely on Brother Wang for guidance in the future!" Yang Wu said with a slight smile.
Wang Zhi had only slashed at his Broken Army Spear, clearly showing mercy. Even if their weapons clashed, Yang Wu would only suffer minor injuries.
"Yang Wu, welcome to the Phantom Squad!"
Chu Tian extended his right hand to Yang Wu. He had a feeling that Yang Wu's addition would definitely bring a pleasant surprise to the Phantom Squad.
"Does that mean he agrees?"
Wu Tong, standing to the side, also smiled.
"Haha, Brother Yang, from now on we're brothers in one squad!" Zhou Zheng and the others congratulated him as well.
