Survival Arena

```

Chu Ge hesitated for quite a while.

In the end, he decided to let Tang Xuejia join the club, as for joining the team, it would depend on her performance.

Anyway, the Suicide Club was recruiting, and since Tang Xuejia was a classmate of his, he'd accept her out of camaraderie.

"You head back first, I'll send you the club's address tonight. Come over tomorrow morning to check in. Classmates are classmates, but you still have to pay the membership fee. If you perform well later on, you can join a sub-team. The main team is at the Four Stars Arena, and you're not qualified to join that yet," Chu Ge pondered aloud.

At these words, Tang Xuejia's eyebrows raised in delight.

She immediately agreed and then cheerfully ran toward the subway station.

Chu Ge thought about it and decided to run back.

Consider it physical training.

The scene just now was really awkward, and even thinking about it was somewhat suffocating.

...@@novelbin@@

Back at the villa.

Chu Ge was surrounded by team members, asking if anything good had happened at tonight's classmate gathering.

Gu Tianjiao snorted coldly, frightening them into silence.

Chu Ge responded with a wry smile.

Listening to him, everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

A gathering of a few classmates, and yet there were three Survivors.

"Just how many Survivors are there?"

Arno muttered. He had just gone through a Combat Power Test and was ranked beyond a thousand, which was a huge blow to him.

Xiao Hero said calmly, "No one knows exactly how many Survivors there are, but one thing is certain: more and more living people will become Survivors, especially for us adults."

Even though Survivors would be eliminated, the Survival Arena wouldn't choose newborns.

So for the adults, it would seem like the number of Survivors around them was only increasing.

"Train well and don't take it lightly. The Nine Extreme Sins might still be targeting us, so be alert," Chu Ge said shaking his head, then dismissed everyone.

He then went to his own room.

However, Gu Tianjiao followed him.

Chu Ge heard the footsteps behind him and knew who it was.

His forehead broke out in cold sweat.

He quickly quickened his pace, trying to escape to his bedroom. But before he could close the door, Gu Tianjiao followed in, and with a bang, she shut the door heavily and locked it.

Chu Ge said with an awkward smile, "It's not what you think, even if she confessed, I would have refused."

Gu Tianjiao's lips curved into a smile as bright as flowers.

...

The next morning.

Tang Xuejia arrived at the Suicide Club.

Chu Ge had wanted to receive her, but Gu Tianjiao had beaten him to it.

He was extremely anxious, fearing a conflict might erupt.

However, Gu Tianjiao was surprisingly generous and showed no animosity.

After taking Tang Xuejia on a tour of the club, she handed her over to Xiao Poor Thing.

Tang Xuejia was very curious about the history of the Suicide Club and asked Xiao Poor Thing about their past Survival Competitions.

"Every Survival Competition of ours at the Suicide Club was thrilling, truly like a blockbuster. Let me start by telling you about the first time I met our leader," Xiao Poor Thing was excited, he pulled Tang Xuejia aside and began to recount the past.

Tang Xuejia was astonished to learn that the event at Qingmei Park was actually a Survival Competition involving Chu Ge and his team.

She finally understood why Chu Ge went to the zoo.

She guessed that the crazed little deer must be the reincarnation of the Pitbull.

Meanwhile.

On the second floor of the club.

```

Chu Ge was learning Hung Fist from General Lie Hao.

He had been studying martial arts for a while and was now able to apply the basics of Hung Fist and Wing Chun to combat.

In his human form, he could also display the Raging Flame Separation, transforming into a fiery figure.

When in his fiery state, his martial arts were absolutely terrifying, even Ye Wukong and General Lie Hao feared him.

After three hours of practicing martial arts, Chu Ge returned to the conference room, ready to rest for a while.

Gu Tianjiao walked in with a folder in hand, and sat at the long table in front of Chu Ge.

"Now, aside from the members of Suicide and Rebirth from Cocoon, we have thirteen regular members, with strengths ranging from Two Stars to Three Stars. I think we need to be more stringent," Gu Tianjiao said softly.

Chu Ge asked, "What do you mean? We're just starting, isn't it better to have a lower threshold at first to attract people?"

Gu Tianjiao shook her head, "We have offended the Nine Extreme Sins; Morrison has only been with us for a day, and Evil Owl will certainly not let us off the hook. I'm worried that Evil Owl might plant undercover agents in our club. It's okay if they just gather intelligence, but I fear they may cause trouble and sow discord among us."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ge frowned.

That was indeed possible.

But even if Evil Owl planted undercover agents, identifying them would be extremely difficult.

Chu Ge thought for a moment and said, "First, arrange surveillance in every corner, the smaller the equipment, the better."

Gu Tianjiao nodded; she was the one who mostly handled these trivial matters.

Just as she said when she first founded the Suicide Club with Chu Ge, she could take care of everything for Chu Ge; he needed only to focus on himself, striving to become as strong as possible.

"Also, if any student wants to establish a sub-team, we can't agree, because we can no longer spare trustworthy individuals to be team leaders. If we let the students do as they please, it will tarnish our reputation," Gu Tianjiao reminded him before standing up and leaving.

Chu Ge looked out at the city through the window.

He thought of the man in a suit he had seen on the subway the night before.

Though it was just a glance.

But he was sure it was someone from the Nine Extreme Sins.

Chu Ge muttered to himself, "How exactly does Evil Owl obtain other people's Survival Talent?"

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

The number of trainees at the Suicide Club reached twenty-one, most of whom had come from all over the country, attracted by advertisements inside Survival City.

There were seven days left until the next Survival Competition.

That day, in the evening.

One by one, the trainees walked out of the club, with Chu Ge and others at the back.

General Lie Hao was excitedly telling Nangong how he had thrashed Ye Wukong that day.

"Hey, kid, what are you skulking around for?"

Ye Wukong called out, annoyed.

Everyone followed his gaze, only to see a young boy in school uniform crouching in front of the club's glass wall, looking indeed quite sneaky.

The schoolboy hesitated, then mustered the courage to come over.

He looked just like an ordinary middle schooler, not particularly handsome, but not ugly either.

The schoolboy approached the group and said cautiously, "My name is Xiao Ming, I'm in the second year of junior high. I'm like you guys; I'm currently Four Stars. Can I join you?"

Everyone was stunned.

What?

Four Stars!?

Chu Ge's expression became strange as he scrutinized Xiao Ming closely.

A second-year junior high student had become a Four Stars Survivor?

How could that be?

Gu Tianjiao and Xiao Hero also frowned, their gazes fixed intently on Xiao Ming.

General Lie Hao walked behind Xiao Ming, bent down, and whispered, "Kid, are you joking?"

Xiao Ming nodded timidly and said, "Besides your club, I've also visited other clubs. But I feel that the atmosphere here is the best, so I want to join you. If it's okay, I'm also willing to join your Survival Team, I have a pretty good hunting ability."
