Du Chen looked over.
The first person he saw on the other side asking the question was a girl with bright red hair.
She looked exceptionally lively, with a delicate little face, no calluses on her hands, and a slender physique.
She had the aura of a young lady from a wealthy family.
Yet, she also exuded a brilliant and passionate, fiery energy.
Beside her sat a man with an extremely cold expression, his eyes devoid of any emotion. He was looking down at the book in his hands, completely unfazed by anything happening around him.
The one who asked the question was this fiery, red-haired girl.
A clear, bright light flickered in her eyes as she looked directly at Du Chen, bypassing Yuan Qingqing and Yuan Yuan.
It was obvious she understood that Du Chen was the one who could make the decision.
It was just unknown how long she had been observing.
Seeing that Du Chen didn't answer, she asked again.
"I'm asking, can my buddy and I join your team? Aren't you guys short two people? How about me and my buddy?"
Yuan Qingqing's gaze turned solemn. She raised her hand and nudged Yuan Yuan, who was sitting next to her.
He glanced over slightly with his eyes and couldn't help but close them immediately.
However, that single glance was enough to make the cold-faced man, who had been reading, look up at him.
Yuan Yuan instinctively covered his eyes, tears welling up physiologically. He managed to say, "So strong!"
Strong?
Du Chen also turned his gaze, looking at the man.
Seeing this, the red-haired girl smiled.
"I'm saying, you guys had better not be so rash and just look at my buddy here!
Although he and I are childhood friends, his personality isn't as lively as mine. In fact, he's very cold.
He hates it the most when people spy on him."
Yuan Yuan raised his hand, covering his eyes and rubbing them for a long time before he could reluctantly open them.
It was visible that his eyes were slightly bloodshot.
However, the red-haired girl didn't seem to find any issue with this. She even reached out, walked over to Du Chen, and smiled as she said to him,
"Let me introduce ourselves. My name is Qin Nanyuan, and the buddy next to me is Jun Ci, C-I."
"My buddy and I are also going to participate in the special training in the Capital District, just like you. Of course, we're not from the Capital District. If we were to form a team, I think we two would have the qualifications, right?"
They indeed had qualifications. Yuan Yuan's reaction alone was enough to show that their strength should not be underestimated.
Du Chen took the initiative to ask, "Where are you two from?"
Qin Nanyuan smiled at the question.
"We're from Yuncheng, the 'Yun' from cloud."
"If I recall correctly, Yuncheng is quite close to the Capital District?"
Yuan Qingqing looked at them with suspicion. "Since you're so close, why are you two on this high-speed train?"
Qin Nanyuan smiled indifferently.
"That's because we were exiled."
As she spoke of this topic, a deep hatred flashed in Qin Nanyuan's eyes.
Even Jun Ci, sitting beside her, put down his book. They both seemed rather unenthusiastic about this topic.
Exiled?
That word was quite unusual.
"You're saying you two were exiled?"
Yuan Qingqing's mouth gaped in surprise. She looked at Jun Ci sitting beside her, and a sudden flash of inspiration made her realize something.
"Wait, Jun Ci, your surname..."
"You're not by any chance from the Jun family in the Capital District, are you?"
Jun family.
When these two words were mentioned, a clear flicker of sarcasm appeared in Jun Ci's eyes.
It seemed he wasn't devoid of emotion, but rather, his emotions were significantly weaker than those of a normal person.
"Ask less about things you shouldn't."
His words were incredibly cold, but Yuan Qingqing didn't get angry at being treated this way. Instead, a look of pity flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Qin Nanyuan couldn't help but reach out and nudge Jun Ci.
Her emotions also soured when the Jun family was mentioned, but it was far better than Jun Ci's.
She smiled and said, "Everyone knows what they should know. Let's not dwell on certain issues. Our abilities are both offensive types. With that, do we have the qualifications to join your team?"
Yuan Qingqing couldn't help but lean closer to Du Chen.
She whispered, "Brother Du, if there are no issues, shouldn't we consider letting them join?"
The Jun family.
Frankly speaking, Du Chen didn't know much about the secrets of such aristocratic families.
His focus wasn't on these matters, and he had no interest in them.
Knowing the identities of these two people didn't evoke any particular feeling in him. Hearing Yuan Qingqing's suggestion, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in confusion.
"What's wrong? Are these two's strengths exceptionally formidable?"
Yuan Qingqing nodded solemnly.
"Yes, the feeling that could sting my brother's eyes is the same as the feeling emanating from you, Brother Du!"
Like that...
Du Chen understood very clearly. He was currently suppressing his strength. For someone like Yuan Yuan, the strength he could perceive should be equivalent to his own strength before he fused with Wang Qi.
If Jun Ci could give Yuan Yuan the same feeling he experienced from Du Chen, it meant that Jun Ci's current strength was comparable to Du Chen's strength before he fused with Wang Qi.
In that case, it could indeed be considered strong.
He suddenly became a little interested.
"Are you two sure you want to join our team?"
Du Chen asked with a smile.
"Aren't you going to wait? What if you meet more people after going to the Capital?"
Jun Ci spoke up at this moment.
A cold smile played on his lips.
"More? What's the use of more?"
"They're just a bunch of trash."
Then his gaze fell upon Du Chen's face.
Jun Ci said with a hint of awkwardness, "I can feel that your strength is also considerable. After this special training ends, I want to have a fight with you."
A fanaticism flickered in his eyes.
Du Chen understood perfectly.
So, another battle maniac.
He didn't refuse. Instead, he nodded and agreed, "Of course, provided you can pass the special training with me."
