The True Warrior
The Top Ten Alliance.
The team leader of Village 9 finally realized that something was wrong.
Although Great Wood God persuaded the other eight teams and the top ten teams to form a joint team, the team only defended and did not attack. For their team, the result seemed to be no different from before.
If that team from District 10 makes it into the top ten, their ranking will still be overtaken...
Therefore, whether the teams unite or not makes absolutely no difference!
No! If they don't team up, and that team from District 10 chooses to play against another top 10 team, their village still has a chance to advance.
But after the alliance was formed, the other team didn't dare to choose their combined team, so they had no chance of advancing at all!
"You son of a bitch, Great Wood God! You took my bribes and then betrayed me! I wish you'd never be able to advance to the Lower Stream in your entire life!"
The captain of Village 9 cursed inwardly, his entire being turning to the dark side.
At that moment, a crazy idea surged into his mind.
"If... if only that team from District 10 had chosen to play against us!"
In this way, everyone who wants to advance will advance, and everyone who wants to be eliminated will be eliminated.
Neatly arranged, not one can be missing!
I cannot accept the thought of you killing me.
But if you say I'll live as long as the heavens, I can not only accept it, I'll even be a little excited.
"Sigh, I should have known better than to team up with them. Even if that team from District 10 were stupid, they wouldn't have chosen a top-ten team to team up with."
The Village 9 Captain, filled with remorse.
"Among all the teams in this Lower Lower Stream, our combined team represents the strongest! Even if that team from District 10 has Elemental Skill, they'll have to think twice before choosing their opponent."
The resolute voice of the Great Wood God came from not far away.
The Village 9 Captain turned around and looked at his confident expression, becoming angrier the more he thought about it.
Now, his only chance is to pray that this District 10 team can't beat any of the combined teams.
In this way, the rankings of the Top Hundred Teams will remain unchanged, and at least the top 10 teams will remain unchanged.
Thinking of this, the Village 9 Captain opened the map to see where Xiao Fan's team was now.
Upon seeing this, his eyes nearly popped out.
The map showed that Xiao Fan's team was heading towards their combined team.
And in this direction, only their team remained...
In other words--
Their goal is their united team.
Is this team really that strong?
The captain of Village 9 almost laughed in anger; he didn't even know whether he should be happy or angry.
As the strongest combined team in the lower reaches of the Trial Grounds, they were the first to be challenged.
Disdain! Utter disdain!
But then again--
This choice seems perfectly acceptable to his team!
If we win, we advance together; if we lose, we're eliminated together.
As long as he's not the only one eliminated, it's fine.
On the other side, the Great Wood God gathered everyone together and talked about the Lower Stream area they were about to enter, clearly unaware that their team had been marked by Xiao Fan's team.
After thinking it over, the Village 9 Captain decided not to tell them yet.
What if they find out they've been marked and have run away?
Moreover, the Village 9 Captain still harbored a sliver of hope.
Elemental Skill are powerful, but they outnumber each other and have greater overall strength.
What if they can win?
With that in mind, the Village 9 Captain chose to remain silent.
"Great Wood God, you'd better not disappoint me."
On Xiao Fan's side.
With the route clear, they finally knew which team Xiao Fan had chosen!
Top Ten Alliance!
There is only one joint team in this direction.
Jian Qingfeng and the others were fine and didn't react much.
Yu Mo and the others were left speechless with despair.
"Boss Jiu Chen, you didn't choose the Top Ten Alliance as your target, did you?"
Yu Mo asked with a mournful face.
Xiao Fan nodded. "It's them."
"Boss Jiu Chen, no! Ancestor Jiu Chen, stop messing around!" Yu Mo almost knelt down before Xiao Fan.
The power of Elemental Skill is undeniable, a point Yu Mo acknowledges.
However, this is based on the premise that the strength of both sides is not significantly different.
But now, the enemy has five hundred men, all of whom are elites, while they have less than a hundred.
Among Xiao Fan and others who possess skills, he is the only one who has just reached level 100; the others haven't even reached the maximum level yet.
In this situation, the outcome is difficult to predict.
Honestly, even though Jian Qingfeng and the others were already at the maximum level, Yu Mo had no objections to this operation.
In their current situation, aside from unleashing their initial attacks, they are practically guaranteed to shatter at the slightest touch once the enemy gets close.
The chances of it overturning are really high!
Yu Mo felt they had many more options and it wasn't worth risking their lives by pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.
Xiao Fan stopped and turned to look at Yu Mo seriously.
What is your dream?
Yu Mo was taken aback.
Why are we suddenly talking about dreams? Is this the right time?
Although he didn't understand, he still told the truth.
"Of course, I want to become a warrior of the Land of Four Extremes! This is the dream of all the Apostle on our continent, and it is also my dream!"
Xiao Fan nodded, then asked again.
"Then do you know what a warrior is?"
Yu Mo:...
"A warrior is a warrior. What is a warrior anyway?"
Xiao Fan extended his index finger and shook it in front of Yu Mo.
"You say your dream is to become a warrior of the Land of Four Extremes, but you don't even know what a warrior is."
Today, I will show you what a true warrior is!
"To knowingly face perilous paths ahead, yet still bravely embark on them, that is true courage."
"To know one is in a hopeless situation and still dare to go against the tide is true courage."
"To know one is no match for another, yet still dare to draw one's sword—that is true courage."
"Only those who know they will die but do not retreat are true warriors!"
Xiao Fan's voice was deep, rising and falling with each word, and as he finished speaking, his eyes looked ahead with unwavering conviction!
His right hand, which was gripping the dagger tightly, suddenly stretched forward.
"A true warrior never retreats; even if there is no road ahead, I will forge ahead through thorns and brambles!"
After Xiao Fan finished speaking, the entire team fell silent instantly.
Everyone stared intently at Xiao Fan.
"Knowing death is certain, yet still not retreating."
"Where there is no road ahead, we will forge ahead through thorns and brambles."
A true warrior! That's fucking awesome!
Is that why he became so strong?
Looking at Xiao Fan's current state, Jian Qingfeng felt as if a Liehuo was burning in his chest.
"No wonder, no wonder I've been playing games for ten years, but I can't compare to him after playing for a few months."
"It turns out I lacked real courage."
"When I learned that Xiao Fan had chosen the Top Ten Alliance, I felt a little scared, but Xiao Fan seemed fearless."
"He is the true warrior, and he deserves his current achievements."
Xiao Fan's words greatly shocked even Jian Qingfeng, a spiritual leader of the Dragon Nation, let alone young people like Yu Mo who were just starting out.
Yu Mo opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
He felt a chill run down his spine, and his heart was trembling violently.
"A true warrior... a true warrior..."
The thought of retreating before even engaging in battle made her want to retreat, while Xiao Fan bravely moved forward, never considering retreating.
At this moment, Yu Mo felt like a coward; he was utterly unworthy of becoming Apostle!
"Warrior..."
Yu Ling's eyes were shining as she looked at Xiao Fan.
"Now I finally understand why those geniuses on the mainland couldn't take the tokens from the Land of Four Extremes —because they weren't true warriors."
