Boom!
In a loft, as the case table was shattered by a palm strike, the several people standing behind Du Jing Tong fell silent, afraid to speak.
"Li Xuan! Today's humiliation, I, Du Jing Tong, will surely make you pay it back tenfold!" Du Jing Tong roared, his expression grim, word by word.
"Commander Du, this senior brother says he has something to request an audience." As Du Jing Tong's voice fell, a team member rushed in with a man.
"What is it?" Du Jing Tong turned and glanced at the man before asking.
"Commander Du, Elder Du asked me to pass on a message. Regarding today's matter, we hope you can choose to forget it. In the future, try to stay away from that Li Xuan," the man said directly after glancing at the people in the room.
Du Jing Tong's pupils constricted slightly, and then he slowly said, "I understand."
"That's good. I shall take my leave," the man said with a slight nod, then turned and left.
"You all can go now as well," Du Jing Tong said, waving his hand. The people in the room bowed and then turned to leave.
When Du Jing Tong was alone in the room, another case table was once again sent flying.
"To make me swallow this bitter pill? A fool's dream!"
...
"Commander Li, you are too amazing!" Upon returning to the courtyard, a man in Li Xuan's team said excitedly.
"Of course, he's amazing! The way Du Jing Tong looked at the end was so satisfying!" another man said, clenching his fists.
"I wonder who was afraid Commander Li would lose the match and didn't even dare to touch the allocated cultivation resources back then," Gong Han Feng said with a slight smile, teasing.
The former culprits scratched their heads awkwardly and did not speak further.
"We are all a team, and it's normal to have such concerns. Brother Gong, please be in charge of allocating the cultivation resources here," Li Xuan said with a smile, shaking his head, and then tossed the spatial ring to Gong Han Feng.
Gong Han Feng waved his hand and took the spatial ring. He then said, "Commander Li, I suggest we do not allocate these cultivation resources for now. We will be undertaking a mission soon, so I think we should save these resources as rewards."
"From now on, anyone who makes a contribution can be rewarded proportionally. What do you think, Commander Li?"
"I didn't expect Brother Gong to have such a plan. This method is feasible," Li Xuan's eyes lit up, and he patted Gong Han Feng's shoulder.
Although Li Xuan was now a commander, if he were to truly allocate resources and manage these team members, he would indeed be overwhelmed. Gong Han Feng's suggestion now revealed some of his abilities in this regard, greatly alleviating Li Xuan's burden.
"This method is indeed good. In the future, as long as someone in our team makes a contribution, they can be rewarded according to a certain proportion. This is a pretty good approach. I didn't expect you to have such a sharp mind; I underestimated you," Qiu Jiu Qian also nodded slightly.
Gong Han Feng smiled. Receiving the approval of both Li Xuan and Qiu Jiu Qian seemed to be extremely important.
"Alright, everyone, prepare yourselves. Tomorrow, we set out for the mission!" Li Xuan smiled and then looked at everyone.
"Yes, Commander Li!" Everyone bowed and cupped their fists at Li Xuan before turning to their respective rooms.
"Tell me, Brother Qiu, what are your thoughts?" Li Xuan asked with a smile after entering the loft, looking at Qiu Jiu Qian and Gong Han Feng.
When Li Xuan had mentioned departing for the mission tomorrow, he had noticed Qiu Jiu Qian's expression was not quite right. Gong Han Feng looked at Qiu Jiu Qian with a surprised expression.
"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you, Commander Li," Qiu Jiu Qian said with a wry smile, then shook his head. "Commander Li, before you took office, the good disciples were all picked by them."
"Even though we were present, we couldn't stop them. In the end, only the weakest disciples were left. According to the allocation, we could only be assigned under your command. To be frank, our team is the weakest in the Wood Pavilion."
"Fortunately, this mission is simple. Otherwise, these people might become a burden. Furthermore, the disciple trials are in five months."
"That's right, how could I forget about this? Commander Li, this disciple trial is related to the reputation of our entire team. Moreover, the allocated resources will be exchanged according to the积分 obtained by each team. If we are eliminated then, our future resource allocation will be very little," Gong Han Feng said with a change of expression, looking at Li Xuan.
"I haven't heard about this matter before. Is this disciple trial a competition between each team?" Li Xuan frowned slightly and then asked Qiu Jiu Qian.
"Yes. According to the rules of Tian Yi Pavilion, disciples of each pavilion must undergo disciple trials six months after recruiting new disciples. The purpose is to determine the allocation ratio of various teams. Within each pavilion, the allocation ratio for each team is also different."
"Besides the ten new teams we have joined this time, the Wood Pavilion had nearly five hundred teams before. The ratio is generally divided into four parts for the upper tier, three parts for the middle tier, two parts for the lower tier, and one part for the lowest tier. The ratio is determined by the qualification obtained by each team."
"With our team's current overall strength, we can only be at the bottom," Qiu Jiu Qian said with a bitter smile.
"I didn't expect the ratio for the upper-tier teams to reach forty percent. Brother Qiu, how many upper-tier teams are there in the Wood Pavilion currently?" Li Xuan was also quite surprised.
If the cultivation resources of the Wood Pavilion were divided into a cake, the upper-tier teams would have taken nearly half. Such a proportion indeed warranted serious consideration.
"We are afraid we cannot hope for the resources of these upper-tier teams. To date, there are ten upper-tier teams in the Wood Pavilion. And the strength of these ten teams, the weakest among them have reached the initial stage of Divine Transformation Realm."
"The commanders of each team have reached the advanced stage or even the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm. These ten teams can be considered the backbone of the Wood Pavilion. Moreover, it is said that the status of these ten teams has not been challenged by other teams for nearly fifty years," Qiu Jiu Qian said, shaking his head with a wry smile.
"Peak Divine Transformation Realm experts… In that case, it's indeed not something we can challenge. Then our goal can only be below the upper tier. Our strength doesn't allow it, there's nothing we can do," Li Xuan said with a helpless shrug.
"Commander Li, although the middle-tier teams are weaker, the commanders of each team are at the middle stage of the Divine Transformation Realm. The weakest team seems to have reached the initial stage of the Divine Transformation Realm as well. Taking food from their mouths seems to be not easy."
"Coupled with our team's strength, it will be very difficult. Our target can only be the lower tier. And it's very likely that we can only get the lowest ten percent proportion," Gong Han Feng said with a bitter smile.
"The entire team's combat… If that's the case, we can only improve everyone's strength as much as possible," Li Xuan sighed. If it were based on individual combat strength, Li Xuan still had hope of securing that two-tenths proportion.
But if it were based on the team's qualifications, then it would only be possible to improve everyone's strength.
"But there is less than half a year left…" Qiu Jiu Qian frowned slightly.
Li Xuan took a deep breath and then said, "Since this is the case, we can only break the cauldrons and sink the boats. For now, let's complete the mission first."
