Ye Jian dodged Big Condor's sneak attack. Xia Jinyuan, who was staring from where he stood, felt relieved. Big Condor was the most temperamental and experienced soldier in the entire team. He rarely went on missions now and was usually in charge of the entire team's hard training. Hence, as the captain, he had to give him some face sometimes.
Letting Big Condor out would allow the other members to see Ye Jian's capabilities.
The group battle earlier was to let the team members see Ye Jian's courage. A one-on-one battle was to let the team members see Ye Jian's ability.
