Chapter 1259: Paying A Visit
“Challenge? Oh yes! I almost forgot about this.”
Fearless was indeed the true leader of the Quan Zhen Sect. At the crucial moment, he was much better at comforting the Quan Zhen Sect than w.a.n.g Yu. Hearing what Fearless said, everyone instantly felt relieved.
Looking at how much better everyone felt, w.a.n.g Yu scratched his chin, “We can only use this in the first round, right? You guys are willing to lose in the hands of the Heavenly Dragon Squad?”
“Oh…” Everyone became stunned again.
Everything was back to square one because of one sentence from w.a.n.g Yu. Fearless even glanced menacingly at w.a.n.g Yu and said, “I don’t know why but I have this sudden urge to beat this kid up! Anyone else?”
“F*ck…” Everyone looked at each other but chose to remain silent while lowering their heads.
In the game, they might merely be losing their pride. However, they could potentially lose their lives by challenging w.a.n.g Yu in real life.
After messing around like that, everyone did not feel as stressed as before.
At the very most, they would merely be losing a compet.i.tion. They wouldn’t suffer any serious injury or waste any resources and at the very most, they would be losing pride. As for pride, it was essentially a useless thing to the Quan Zhen Sect.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
Just when everyone was still fooling around, someone knocked on the door.
Mu Zixian, who was closest to the door, opened the door to see Nine Solitary Spears stretching his head forward sneakily.
“h.e.l.lo, Mrs Bull!”
Nine Solitary Spears greeted Mu Zixian politely when he saw Mu Zixian before walking towards the Quan Zhen Sect with a smile.
Fearless squinted his eyes as he asked, “Eh? Isn’t this Spear Dog? What are you doing here instead of resting in your room?”
“Hehe!” Hearing the way Fearless addressed him, Nine Solitary Spears maintained his smile and said, “h.e.l.lo, brothers, I’m sorry that I haven’t paid you guys a visit after such a long time. I seek everyone’s forgiveness.”
“Stop wasting time with your nonsense!” Fearless said, “Just spit whatever you’re here to say! But I really haven’t seen someone who came to pay a visit empty-handed…”
“Haha!” Nine Solitary Spears chuckled as he frantically placed two sugar cubes on the table.
The Quan Zhen Sect furrowed their brows immediately. This fella paid a visit with two sugar cubes and it was the one given by the hotel for coffee? Why was it in his pocket? Was this fella initially planning to bring it home?
“Oh? You guys don’t like it?” Looking at everyone’s expression, Nine Solitary Spears reached out his hand in an attempt to take it back.
Fearless got up from the sofa and to knock Nine Solitary Spears’s claws as he scolded, “Rascal! Hurry up and tell us why you’re actually here!”
“This…” Nine Solitary Spears felt slightly embarra.s.sed as he said, “Tomorrow is the finals and there is a high chance we might face Kyushu Squad in the first round. I know Fearless is a smart man so do you have any pro-tips to share with me? Our Sky Dragon City is a subsidiary city of Twilight City so we should enjoy blessings and endure misfortune together.”
It seemed like the Quan Zhen Sect was not the only ones feeling the pressure. Even a squad with the G.o.d of War like Heavenly Dragon Squad were feeling so uneasy that they came over to ask for a pro-tip.
Nine Solitary Spears must be desperate enough to ask the Quan Zhen Sect for help.
“Strategy?” Fearless smiled, “Just the Kyushu Squad, right? With us around, we will make sure you guys won’t meet them.”
“How?” Nine Solitary Spears scratched his nose as he inquired.
Hearing Fearless’ tone, it was almost as though he had the confidence to take Kyushu Squad down in the first round.
Fearless smiled and replied, “I’ve heard that the teleportation formation from your Sky Dragon City to the Dragon Island is charged by you and your men?”
“That…” Nine Solitary Spears replied, “From today onwards, any of my Quan Zhen Sect brothers will not be charged a single cent for the usage of my teleportation formation.”
“I have to hold you accountable for this!” Fearless nodded satisfyingly. “Head back then, you will know how tomorrow.”
“How reliable are you?” Nine Solitary Spears frowned, “You won’t lie to me, right?”
“Nonsense!” Fearless argued, “We’ve known each other for so many years. Have you seen me lie to anyone?”
“This…”
Nine Solitary Spears thought about it and realised that it was true. Fearless was more commonly known to play with words to induce others in making the wrong decision. It was true that he had never lied blatantly to anyone.
At the thought of this, Nine Solitary Spears pointed at Fearless and said, “Okay, I trust you! But if we meet Kyushu Squad tomorrow, whatever I said earlier will not go into effect.”
Fearless smiled, “Alright! Get lost now! If I lie to you, I will even return you your sugar cube!”
“F*ck…”
Looking at that wretched smile on Fearless’ face, Nine Solitary Spears suddenly had an uneasy feeling. However, he still left the room.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk…
Once Nine Solitary Spears left, the Quan Zhen Sect exclaimed, “We’re going to challenge the Heavenly Dragon Squad tomorrow, right?”
“Indeed!” Fearless nodded.
“Then they will really have no chance to meet the Kyushu Squad.”
“Hehe.” Fearless snickered.
…
The moment Nine Solitary Spears left, someone else knocked on the door.
This time, it was Boundless Ocean with a basket of fruits.
Boundless Ocean had this habit of paying a visit to the remaining teams in the finals right before the finals. Firstly, he would be able to know more about his opponent by observing their state of mind. Secondly, doing so would create additional pressure for his opponents.
Knowing your enemy is the way to come unscathed through a hundred battles.
When Boundless Ocean saw that everyone in the Quan Zhen Sect was smiling and enjoying themselves, he was slightly taken aback in his heart.
Boundless Ocean walked over from Carefree Squad’s room as well as Heavenly Dragon Squad’s room. Both teams basically looked incredibly miserable and anxious for the finals tomorrow. On the other hand, the Quan Zhen Sect was actually joking and fooling around as though they weren’t even concerned about the compet.i.tion.
At the thought of the extraordinary experts like w.a.n.g Yu and Yang Nuo in their squad, Boundless Ocean couldn’t help but feel a trace of pressure.
Of course, Boundless Ocean was a person who wouldn’t expose his true emotions so easily. Therefore, he merely smiled and clasped his fists towards Fearless, “Brother Fearless, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. Who would have thought that all the Quan Zhen Sect experts grew bored and chose to partic.i.p.ate in such a compet.i.tion?”
This fella was indeed the leader of the number one squad in the country. With a simple sentence, he immediately addressed the rowdy hooligans from Quan Zhen Sect as some kind of hidden experts.
The rest of the Quan Zhen Sect immediately felt immensely good about themselves the moment the leader of the number one squad in the country said something like that.
“Indeed!” Fearless smiled, “It seems like you’ve gotten much stronger after so many years and even managed to clinch a few t.i.tles.”
“Haha!” Boundless Ocean smiled and said, “That’s nothing! Boss Fearless is the…”
Boundless Ocean and Fearless knew each other from before so everything they talked about was in the past. w.a.n.g Yu and the other newcomers in the squad couldn’t help but feel the gooseb.u.mps as they listened to how the two of them continued to praise each other.
After chatting idly for a while, Boundless Ocean got up to bid goodbye. While Ming Du and the rest were still immersed in the glory of former days, Fearless said, “Boundless Ocean is a truly impressive opponent.”
