Xie Yue's Plan

Xie Yue naturally disagreed with Zhou You's statement.

In the Douluo Continent, unless one is a whole realm higher, the saying "two fists can't beat four hands" remains a universal truth among those of the same level.

In Xie Yue's understanding, he couldn't even imagine what it would be like to "fight against many alone," he himself hadn't reached that level.

Xie Yue acknowledged that Zhou You was very strong, but he didn't believe that Zhou You could take on a small team by himself, especially a team of Soul Masters of the same level.

He felt that Zhou You was getting a little arrogant, really thinking he was invincible? This was a very bad sign.

Although he couldn't command Zhou You, he still hadn't given up on the idea of completely subduing him.

Perhaps this is a good opportunity? Xie Yue desperately wanted to win, and now he probably realized that it was wishful thinking to try and defeat Zhou You on his own.

How could he not know that Zhou You was holding back in their fights? Of course he knew, he just didn't know how much of it was, and that's why he still held onto hope.

If he could defeat Zhou You even once, even with the help of his team or by outnumbering him, it would be of great significance to him.

This could shatter the impression that Zhou You was invincible in his mind. Xie Yue believed that with Xu Yu's help, this idea might not be impossible to realize.

So he immediately said, "In that case, let's have a match!"

Zhou You gave him a serious look, and probably figured out what he was thinking, but just smiled.

"Alright, should we wait until Li Kai's injury heals? It just doesn't feel right without him."

"No need!" Xie Yue immediately refused. Six against one was already humiliating enough; if he agreed, what kind of person would he become?

The two then told others about their agreement, which, unsurprisingly, shocked everyone.

Yan quietly tugged at Zhou You: "Boss, are we really going to fight?"

"Um."

"Why?" Yan scratched his head, somewhat confused. Even he couldn't believe that Zhou You would make such a challenge to Xie Yue, even if it was just a friendly spar.

But is this one-sided match really going to be a friendly spar?

"Don't worry about it. Just do whatever Xie Yue tells you to do. Just be obedient."

"He asked me to hit you, and you agreed?"

Was I not clear enough?

"Hehe, that's so embarrassing~"

"You can hardly suppress your smile, haven't you been waiting for this day for a long time?"

"How could that be, boss? I swear to God! My loyalty to you is unbreakable!"

"Climb!"

"Okay!"

At this moment, Hu Liena had just taken the injured Li Kai to receive treatment. After hearing about this, she also looked at Zhou You with a strange expression.

She jogged over, shooed Yan aside, and moved closer to Zhou You.

"Are you crazy?"

"How can you talk like that?"

"Why would someone agree to something like this if they weren't crazy?"

Zhou You asked in surprise, "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

For some unknown reason, Hu Liena's pretty face suddenly flushed red, and she spat out, "You filthy scoundrel!"

Zhou You: "..."

He said speechlessly, "I'm serious."

"Hmph! Do you think you're all that just because you're number one in the class?" Hu Liena scoffed. "Even the Soul Elder in the upper grades wouldn't dare say they could take on all six of us, yet you're so arrogant."

Zhou You remained silent. He knew that no one would believe him no matter what he said until he saw the facts with his own eyes, so he simply didn't bother to waste his breath.

Actually, it's not their fault. After all, although Zhou You always wins, it's only in one-on-one situations. Moreover, his two Soul Skills don't seem to be the kind that can mow down enemies with unparalleled power.

It looked unremarkable at least, with a very small scale.

Outsiders often judge a Soul Master's strength based on the expressiveness of their Soul Skills, but this is actually a rather superficial standard.

However, it cannot be denied that the destructive power a Soul Master can display reflects the lethality of Soul Skills to a certain extent, and can also indirectly demonstrate the Soul Master's strength.

Just like Yan's First Soul Skill, a full-force Fire Flaming Meteor can cover a quarter of Small Arena.

Whether it hits or not doesn't matter yet, just focus on how powerful and impressive it looks.

Even his Second Soul Skill, although not a direct killing skill, still has a considerable killing effect when combined with the strength of his own Martial Soul Possession him and the high temperature covering his whole body.

Didn't you see Li Kai was half-dead?

In comparison, Zhou You's Soul Skills are somewhat unassuming; although he wins every battle, they just don't feel very impressive.

Zhou You could understand this, after all, his combat philosophy was inherited from the Previous World. Most of the time, the battles of the Otherworldly Being did not care about appearances or elaborate tactics, and the battles of the Three-One Sect were even more simple and unadorned.

Nothing special, it's just incredibly powerful!

However, Zhou You always appeared relaxed when sparring with others, and his opponents were all quite skilled, so no one doubted his abilities.

But Hu Liena didn't believe he could fight and defeat multiple opponents single-handedly.

So she said, "Since you insist on being tough, then try it! I won't hold back!"

Zhou You said in surprise, "What are you saying? I never expected you to go easy on me, so it's unnecessary."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena became somewhat angry for some reason. She stretched out her foot and quickly stomped on Zhou You's shoe, leaving a small footprint on it.

"You arrogant fool! Just prepare to fail!" With that, Hu Liena jogged away without waiting for Zhou You's reply.

She ran to Xie Yue's side, raised her little fist, and said fiercely, "Brother, don't hold back later, beat him up!"

"I will," Xie Yue said coldly, then changed the subject, "However, I have an idea."

"What?"

Xie Yue did not answer, but turned to look at Xu Yu.

Xu Yu.

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Yu listlessly raised his head, looking somewhat dejected.

Xie Yue frowned slightly upon seeing this, and immediately felt a bit displeased.

What? You think I'm making you feel bad?

In his view, a defeated opponent should know his place. Sun Chuantao is a thing of the past; now he is the boss.

Xie Yue didn't understand the importance of gentle persuasion. He said in his usual tough tone, "When the battle starts, you'll immediately provide support."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena immediately understood.

"Brother, what do you want to..."

Xie Yue nodded with a stern face. "Six against one, I have no face, but you can lend me your strength first, and I'll fight him alone!"

With the combined strength of six people, Xie Yue believed that this power would be enough to defeat Zhou You.

In the battle just now, apart from Li Kai, the others were basically unharmed, or only slightly injured. If it were a six-on-one fight, they would have a clear advantage.

Xie Yue was a man of principle, and from the beginning he never intended to truly outnumber the enemy. He only wanted to use Xu Yu's abilities to enhance his own attributes and gain strength that would rival Zhou You's.

Xu Yu was somewhat reluctant, but Sun Chuantao quickly nudged him, and he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

So, which skill do you want to improve?

"Speed!" Xie Yue blurted out.
