Xiao Shi casually made a remark, never expecting it to solve the problem that had been troubling Gu Ao and the others most. They also realized the idea was unexpectedly good: they could witness Ling Tian's ultimate techniques and see how he worked with Fairy Meng Shang and the Heaven-Devouring Wolf. It was a win several ways at once.
Seeing that Gu Ao and the others agreed, Ling Tian's group had no objections either. In their opinion, with two people and a wolf, taking on four opponents of the same level wouldn't be too difficult.
The group said no more. They cleared out a large space, then began their sparring match.
Gu Ao and the other three took up positions in four directions, surrounding Ling Tian's group. The two sides stood far apart, tens of thousands of zhang between them.
Fairy Sword had suggested such a great distance. Although Gu Ao and the others had seen Fairy Meng Shang use her archery techniques, they didn't think those techniques suited a head-on fight. Fairy Sword, however, knew they could.
She wanted to see the archery techniques passed down from the old senior her master had spoken of. Those techniques needed considerable distance to unleash their full power, so she had made the suggestion.
Though they didn't understand the reason, Gu Ao and the others didn't mind. To them, this distance was nothing; they could cover it after only a little time.
Gu Ao and the others had spread out because they had no intention of working together. This, too, was Fairy Sword's suggestion. She knew they would make easier targets for arrows if they stood together.
In a real fight, Ling Tian's group could simply charge toward one side. With their strength, they could easily defeat any one group of enemies,
