When Yue Wen said he could send Qi Dian into the water to fight Liang Yan, the other three members of the team froze.
Xing'er was the first to react. She looked at Qi Dian. "Have you asked him to repay his debts lately? Why is he screwing you over like this?"
To her, this tactic was just like an ancient emperor sending a general with an army of three hundred to campaign against a hundred thousand enemy troops-he was clearly sending someone to their death on purpose. Even if they survived the defeat and returned, he could still charge them with a failed campaign.
"No! I've never asked. Brother Yue always pays me back on his own!" Qi Dian said. "Stop testing me, Brother Yue. I've always been loyal to you. I haven't got a rebellious bone in my body."
Liu Yuanjun offered a somewhat more serious analysis. "Although Brother Qi has Water Control supernatural powers, Liang Yan is in the Appearance Realm, after all, and she was born with an immortal body... My conservative guess is that he wouldn't be a match for her underwater."
"That's too conservative," Xing'er said. "My bold estimate is that crushing him to death underwater wouldn't be much harder for Liang Yan than popping a pimple."
Faced with their doubts, Yue Wen shook his head. "You still haven't understood what I mean. How did we deal with underwater enemies in the past?"
"We hammered them with lightning supernatural powers." Xing'er was once again the first to answer.
"But this stretch of water is too big. We can't cover it completely," Qi Dian said.
They had been able to enjoy electrofishing in the Independent Cultivator Points Tournament because that had been an enclosed lake of limited size. The contestants underwater had nowhere to run.
