Chen Xiaojun continued, "Yes, we really are drawing too much attention now."
"The other academies will surely watch us like hungry tigers, trying every means possible to find our weaknesses and openings."
"So we can't play by the usual rules. We need some new tricks to keep them guessing."
Liu Ruyan knitted her delicate brows, thought for a moment, then nodded and asked, "Then how do you plan to play these new tricks, Xiaojun?"
Chen Xiaojun gave a sly smile. "We need to deliberately throw up some fog so they can't see our true strength or tactical arrangements."
"I'll have special arrangements for both Cui Lan and Ma Wencai."
"Besides, I'm planning to find two more teammates with distinctive abilities to make it even harder for our opponents to get to the bottom of us."
At that moment, Gao Cuilan, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke. Biting her lower lip, she said firmly, "Sister Ru Yan, Sixth Brother, my soul power level may not be high, but I'll do my best not to hold everyone back in the competition."
"My family also has some unique secret techniques. Perhaps they'll come in handy during the matches."
Liu Ruyan put an arm around Gao Cuilan's shoulders and gently parted her lips. "Cui Lan, soul power level is important, but it isn't the only measure. I believe in you."
Chen Xiaojun nodded and continued, "During the matches, we need to adapt flexibly and adjust our tactics according to the opponents we actually face."
"We can't blindly follow a fixed routine. That would make it easy for our opponents to see through us."
"We must be like water. Water has no constant course, no fixed shape or form; it changes with the terrain."
Liu Ruyan nodded repeatedly. "That's a good idea."
