Zhang Chulan's face froze, his expression miserable.
"Senior, I'm weak and cowardly. Could you let us bring someone along to help?"
It wasn't that Zhang Chulan was a coward. He hadn't been in the Outsider world for long and had never experienced a real fight to the death. All he had ever asked of himself was to adapt quickly.
Now, however, there was no time to adapt at all.
Under these circumstances, he had to secure every advantage he could. As for dignity...
How much was dignity worth per pound, anyway?
"Don't worry. Expecting just you two youngsters to deal with the Quanxing Four Maniacs would be underestimating them far too much. Quanxing isn't that weak.
"So I've prepared something good for you."
Lu You suddenly took two balls of light from his sleeve.
One was pale gold, warm as the dawn; the other was silvery white, cool as moonlight. The two balls of light slowly revolved in his palm, and even the air around them grew heavy.
"What's that?"
Zhang Chulan stared fixedly at the two balls of light, instinctively stepping half a pace back.

"These two Qi Seeds contain a little of the essence I separated from my elixir. Each contains one percent of my blood and qi."
He raised his hand. The pale gold Qi Seed drifted toward Zhang Chulan, while the silvery white one drifted toward Zhang Lingyu.
"Once they're infused into your bodies, you'll temporarily gain one percent of my strength. It isn't much, but it's more than enough to make short work
