Captain, One Against Five

"Daotian, Xiao Wu, come over here!"

Principal Su looked over at them and beckoned.

Li Daotian and Xiao Wu immediately walked over.

"Principal Su, what is it?"

Li Daotian asked curiously.

"The matter of forming a team for our Notting College has been decided. There will be six people in total."

Principal Su looked at them as she spoke.

Li Daotian's gaze shifted slightly. He wanted to know exactly who the six people were.

"You, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Chenyu!"

Principal Du pointed at Li Daotian, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Chenyu, who stood among the crowd.

"You three will take the lead, while the other three will serve as support to form the team."

He then waved a hand, and three upperclassmen stepped out from behind. They were all boys, broad-headed and sturdy-looking, with fairly strong builds.

At that moment, Xiao Chenyu stepped out of the crowd and stood beside Li Daotian. He quietly called out, "Boss Li," showing his respect.

The three upperclassmen then walked over and stood behind Li Daotian.

"Daotian, the college has decided to let you serve as this team's captain. Do you have any objections?"

After looking over the team, Principal Su asked Li Daotian with considerable satisfaction.

Li Daotian was somewhat surprised to hear that. He had not expected a first-year student like himself to become captain.

But Principal Su had clearly given it careful thought, and the other upperclassmen did not seem to have any objections either.

After thinking it over, Li Daotian decided to accept. "All right, I have no objections."

After speaking, he seemed to think of something and could not help asking, "Principal Su, why are three people the main force and three the support? Does that mean the visiting delegation from the other college only has three people?"

Li Daotian had noticed something.

"No. According to the information we received, the delegation they are sending also has six people—three as the main force and three as support."

"And among those six, three are exceptionally talented. You need to be careful."

There was a hint of concern in Principal Su's voice.

"Please rest assured, Principal. As long as they are not too strong, I should be able to handle them."

Li Daotian did not humble himself this time. Instead, he sounded rather confident.

In a few more days, he would definitely master the Overlord Spear completely. If he used his Martial Soul to perform the Overlord Spear then, his strength should be enough to challenge a Soul Master around level 20.

"Very good. If you can bring honor to Notting College this time, there will certainly be scholarships for you!"

Principal Su nodded slightly, an encouraging smile on her face.

At the mention of a scholarship, Li Daotian's eyes brightened further.

As a student, he had no stable source of income. If he could obtain another generous scholarship, he would not have to worry about this semester's tuition.

"Principal, we will definitely bring honor to the college!"

Li Daotian clenched his fists, his tone firm.

Xiao Wu chimed in as well. "With Brother Tian here, we definitely won't lose."

"Principal, with Boss Li leading us, we will definitely bring honor to the college this time."

Xiao Chenyu echoed her words.

The other three upperclassmen nodded one after another.

"Good. In that case, I will wait for your good news. As for what to do, Li Daotian will have the final say. You are the captain."

"I still have matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first!"

Principal Su nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.

After watching the Principal depart, Li Daotian turned to the others. "All of you, come with me."

He quickly walked to the lawn nearby, took out the Long Thorn, and held it in his hand.

"From now on, all five of you will attack me. Don't hold back. I'll use the Long Thorn for both offense and defense. This will quickly improve our combat ability. There are only a few days left, and how much we can improve depends on each of you."

Li Daotian waved a hand.

"Brother Tian, you're really confident. If all five of us attack you alone, you'll be at a disadvantage!"

Xiao Wu said worriedly.

Xiao Chenyu's eyes brightened slightly. He seemed to have an idea as he licked his lips. "Boss Li, you said it yourself. Don't blame me for showing no mercy."

The other three upperclassmen also revealed excited expressions. They knew Li Daotian was quite capable, but he was only one person. Fighting one against five was not something an ordinary person could manage.

They truly did not believe Li Daotian could pull it off. He would definitely get beaten badly.

"Come at me together. Stop wasting time."

Seeing the looks in their eyes, Li Daotian knew these people had no good intentions, but he was not afraid in the slightest.

So far, he had not used his Martial Soul. If he did, these five might not be his opponents. He planned to use the five of them to test his abilities first, then temper himself. That way, there should be no problems when he faced the visiting delegation.

Hearing this, Xiao Chenyu immediately said to the three upperclassmen, "Boss Li said so himself. Let's go together and beat him up first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he charged at Li Daotian. The other three upperclassmen also pounced toward Li Daotian one after another, with no intention of holding back.

"Good!"

Li Daotian gave a cold smile and swiftly swung his Long Thorn in a fierce strike.

He wanted to see whether these four upperclassmen could pose any real threat to him.

In an instant, the group became entangled in a brawl.

Relying on his skills, Li Daotian actually held a certain advantage.

Xiao Wu watched from the side without attacking immediately, but there was a sly glint in her eyes. She seemed to be waiting for Li Daotian to make a mistake.

A moment later, cries of "Ow! Ow!" rang out as one upperclassman was sent flying. He clutched his head and wailed in pain.

Soon afterward, two more upperclassmen were beaten to the ground.

Xiao Chenyu was also lying on the ground, looking somewhat pained.

The four of them had attacked together, yet they had still been defeated by Li Daotian.

There was a trace of fear in Xiao Chenyu's eyes. Li Daotian had beaten him badly when he fought alone before, and he had thought that four people attacking together would let him wash away that humiliation. Instead, they had still been beaten into a miserable state.

"Boss Li, what kind of monster are you? You're way too strong!"

Xiao Chenyu's voice trembled slightly. As an upperclassman whose Soul Power was close to level 17, he had been beaten so badly.

Li Daotian could not help laughing. "It's not that I'm too strong. It's that you're really a little weak. Come again. Don't disappoint me!"

"Xiao Wu, don't just stand there. Join them!"

Li Daotian waved to them.

The upperclassmen climbed up from the ground and pulled themselves together. They exchanged glances, seeming to plot something.

Xiao Wu also stepped forward from the side and said to Li Daotian, "Brother Tian, I won't hold back this time."

After saying that, Xiao Wu charged at him like a particularly cunning rabbit, both hands attacking toward Li Daotian's waist and abdomen.

She intended to wrap herself around Li Daotian's abdomen in one move, then throw him down in a grappling toss.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Chenyu and the upperclassmen all lunged forward, intending to restrain Li Daotian.

In the blink of an eye, the group was fighting again.
