He leaned back in his chair, his gaze sweeping over the four of them with a hint of scrutiny. Then, he spoke in a slow, unhurried manner:
"Ahem… I should make this clear to you all beforehand. The Fearless Warband, in principle, does not recruit Level 4 Martial Artists. After all, the Warband's missions, both internal and external, are extremely dangerous. In most cases, a Level 4 Martial Artist's strength isn't even enough for self-preservation. Recruiting you would just be adding more cannon fodder."
His words were like a bucket of cold water dumped over their heads, instantly freezing the smiles on Xiong Yanfu's and Lei Meng's faces.
"However…"
The senior's tone shifted, and a playful smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "What's impossible in principle is possible in practice. Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. The Fearless Warband may not accept ordinary people, but we never turn away true geniuses."
He held up two fingers.
