"Sorry. I'd originally wanted to find an opportunity for you to practice using military formations, but something unexpected came up."
Facing the third military formation that had risen into the air, Xu Yue spoke to Uchiha Itachi and the others with a trace of apology.
All four lowered their heads at once, repeatedly saying they would not dare.
"Why are you all so tense? We should be getting along quite well, shouldn't we? It's not like I'm some bad guy."
Xu Yue laughed mutely, then looked up at the fellow who was still jabbering away.
Originally, he had planned to take it slow and let Itachi and the others become more familiar with military formations, fighting a round or two.
But plans could not keep up with changes.
Forcing them apart to train now would never produce the effect of a true life-or-death battle. It would be better not to waste the effort.
"You're about to die, yet you're still muttering away? Leaving your last words?"
"Military formations come in different levels. Don't think you have what it takes to contend with me."
"How long has the Penguin Merchant Guild possessed military formations? How many times have you practiced? As for me, I used mine repeatedly in that battle with Beiyang and in the battles against Mao Xiong. My military formation is a Perfect Compatibility with me."
"With military formations of the same level, I can fight two at once and hold back three!"
"In a one-on-one fight, you cannot possibly be my match."
In the sky, Japan's third military formation continued chattering incessantly.
It seemed its controller was quite the talker.
"Hmm, a military formation that needs to warm up? Once it finishes warming up, it really should be able to fight two at the same level."
