Wan Hongzhuang
Chapter 213 Teamwork is Still the Best
But someone's happiness means someone else's unhappiness.
Putting aside the members of the Rain Protection Alliance, Man Yaoyao's face was already extremely gloomy.
The Kui Lian Sect leader looked at Qi Manya with heartache.
The scene before her was so similar to what had happened hundreds of years ago.
Back then, she was also watching from the outside as her senior brother met a woman in the Ten Thousand Pride Ranking competition. From then on, they walked side by side. That woman died for him, and from then on, her senior brother locked his heart.
She hoped that this little disciple wouldn't follow her old path.
The Fang Clan leader ignored the playful smiles of the leaders around him. From the moment he saw Fang Xiaoyu smile, his expression was no longer gloomy.
She had never been so happy before. If… if that Wan Lei could make her happy forever, then so what if he defied the world to fulfill them?
He didn't care if he was a member of the Wan Clan, or if he was a descendant of the Thunder Emperor.
As long as my daughter is happy.
Lei Yu and Fang Xiaoyu under the big tree had no idea that the people outside had already seen them as a couple.
If they knew, they would probably be shocked speechless on the spot.
Me and him (her)?
How is that possible?
Only a ghost would fancy him (her).
A day later, the two finally succeeded in cultivating their respective divine abilities.
This was still because they had the foundation of "挥剑成河" (huī jiàn chéng hé, brandishing the sword to form a river) and "风声鹤唳" (fēng shēng hè lì, the sound of the wind and the crane) from before, which allowed them to cultivate so quickly. (Both are idioms)
And the great array was also quickly approaching.
"Let's go."
Fang Xiaoyu stood up. After a day of calming down, she had returned to her previous aloof and cold demeanor.
She was also very strange. What was wrong with her? Why was she so out of control? What was that inexplicable sense of closeness to Wan Lei?
This is not good, not good.
"Leaving already?"
"If not, you gonna support... damn it!"
Fang Xiaoyu turned her head and glared at Wan Lei fiercely, then burst out laughing.
"Why not team up? It's so dangerous outside."
"Dangerous? Does that exist for you and me? Only the weak need to team up."
Heh, so much like Wan Liuchuan.
Praising and belittling at the same time, am I a strong person or a weak person?
"When we meet again, we will be enemies, and I will fight you to the death."
"Okay, I'll definitely spank your little butt and make you '嘤嘤嘤' (yīng yīng yīng, whimper)."
Young Master Lei didn't forget to act like a rogue before leaving.
"Hmph, who was the one who was '嘤嘤嘤' (yīng yīng yīng, whimpering) yesterday?"
Fang Xiaoyu had a hint of a smile on her lips as she got up and quickly flew towards the north.
"Really, just leaving like that, without even saying thank you."
Young Master Lei shrugged.
"Brother Lei, you're amazing, you can even win over the ice mountain that is Fang Xiaoyu."
Li Lei and He Shiba, who had been acting as background characters all along, finally had a chance to speak.
"Don't talk nonsense, she and I are enemies."
"Come on, we've heard of Fang Xiaoyu's reputation. You're the first one to make her smile and say so many words.
Brother Lei, I admire you, teach me a few tricks another day, and let me win over Shiba too."
"Are you asking for a beating? I'm still standing right here!"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, don't pull my ear."
The group of three got up and embarked on their journey again.
Not long after they left, the great array contracted to the place where they had previously landed. When it touched the tree named Wu Xun, it directly teleported him outside.
Two more days passed. In these two days, they encountered opponents more and more frequently. However, Wan Lei was, after all, a strong person in the first tier. After destroying a few teams, those small teams immediately detoured when they encountered them.
Right now, it was the twenty-eighth day of the Ten Thousand Pride Ranking competition.
At this time, the range of the contracted great array was already very small, probably only the size of the territory under the jurisdiction of Nanfu City.
Standing on the south side of the great array, if one flew high enough, one could see the edge of the great array in the north.
The number of people left was only a little over a hundred.
The fighting in the Ten Thousand Pride Ranking has always been very tragic.
On this day, Wan Lei's invincible and unstoppable momentum was halted. They encountered a tough nut to crack.
Not far in front of them stood four young men. The leading young man was as strong as a small mountain, and he was also holding a heavy shield that was more than one person tall.
Behind him were three small mountains with the same physique as him, each holding a short knife, a long spear, and a bow and arrow.
It can be said that this team integrated defense, close combat, and ranged attacks, and was an extremely elite team.
"Wan Lei, do you know who I am?"
The leading young man said in a muffled voice.
"Fight if you want to fight, why so much nonsense."
Wan Lei sneered. How could he not recognize that the person opposite him was Dun Yue, the number one prodigy of the Dun family?
"I don't want to fight you."
Dun Yue made no secret of it.
"Why?"
"Your battle prowess is very strong, I can't beat you..."
"Then just admit defeat."
"...Can you let me finish?"
"Speak."
"But you can't defeat me either. My defense is the strongest in this Ten Thousand Pride Ranking competition. My team has both offense and defense, and can maximize battle prowess.
If you want to defeat me, you can only slowly wear me down, spending ten days or half a month, maybe you can defeat me, but you don't have that much time.
If you want to defeat me, unless you have two first-tier fighters, it's simply impossible.
So, let's not waste time either."
This simple-minded youth was terrifyingly honest.
"Damn it, what you said makes so much sense, I don't even know how to refute it, but I just don't want to let you go, what do you say?"
After Young Master Lei pondered for a long time, he was still unwilling to let Dun Yue go. After all, he only had Jian Xunhuan and Wu Xun, two defeated opponents from the first tier, in his hands. If he wanted to join the Yin Yang Sect, he had to have impressive achievements.
And the best achievement, besides ranking, was to defeat a first-tier fighter.
Now that he finally encountered a seemingly easy-to-bully big guy, he really couldn't bear to let him go.
"It's no use even if you're unwilling. Unless you can find another first-tier fighter, two first-tier fighters fighting my team might be able to win in a short time, otherwise you should go back and take a break.
But do you have one?
You don't."
"Now he does."
A long roar came from the horizon in the east, and a figure came riding on lightning.
"Yo, why are you here?"
Wan Lei was pleasantly surprised, feeling that he was truly blessed by the heavens, getting whatever he wanted.
"Wasn't it because I saw that you couldn't handle him alone, so I kindly came to help you?"
Wan Liuchuan said with a smile.
"Tell the truth."
Wan Lei looked at Wan Liuchuan's tattered clothes and slightly disheveled appearance, guessing that the other party must have suffered a setback.
"I want to team up with you. Your team has three people, and with me, it's exactly four."
Wan Liuchuan scratched his head awkwardly.
"Oh, oh, oh, who was it who said that only the weak need to team up?"
Wan Lei had a gloating expression on his face.
"It was Fang Xiaoyu."
He Shiba and Li Lei quickly chimed in, helping Wan Lei show off.
"..."
"He said it first, can you two not ruin my act!"
"I suddenly think that teaming up is still the way to go."
Wan Liuchuan smiled shyly.
