Chapter 34 - A Formidable Opponent

Yuan Yu ignored the groans and the crumbling expressions of those around her. She presented the information in her hand, introducing their upcoming opponents.

"You Xiaoqing, Soul Severing Flute Tool Martial Soul, a Sound Wave Martial Soul, a Great Soul Master."

"Alright, don't fall apart. One Soul Elder and two Great Soul Masters are the strongest they've got. The other four are all one-ring cultivators. Aside from the Soul Elder gap, we're not at a disadvantage in other areas."

Yuan Yu surveyed the group, and they all wore bitter smiles.

"Just a Soul Elder gap? You want us to risk our lives."

Yan also lost confidence and said with a wry smile.

"It won't be risking our lives. We also have two Great Soul Masters. I believe you are all the best among the one-ring Soul Masters. If we quickly take care of the one-ringers, then deal with the three of them, we'll still have a forty percent chance of winning."

"Forty percent?! Are you kidding us?! That means we can't win from the start, right?"

Ning Tong was exasperated, shouting.

"Forty percent is already good. What else do you want?"

Yuan Yu said impatiently.

"Yuan Yu is right. Even with a forty percent chance, we should still give it our best shot. I think it's okay."

Gan Ling spoke up for Yuan Yu, who gratefully glanced at Gan Ling. Ning Tong retorted:

"Of course, you're okay. You broke through to the second ring before and quickly got your soul rings. It's easy to talk big. Why don't you go deal with those two second-ringers?"

Ning Tong said.

"Big Brother Gan is right. It's not like we don't have a chance of winning. Yuan Yu's plan and ideas are good. I support Yuan Yu."

Ming Tian also came out and said.

"I believe in Ming Tian! If Ming Tian says we can win, then we definitely have a chance!"

Yan Qingwan knew Ming Tian's true strength and echoed.

Yuan Yu was touched to see so many people standing by her. She turned to Yan and Ning Tong and said:

"The minority must obey the majority. Do you two have any objections now?"

"Alright, since you all say so, we can't do anything."

"Yuan Yu, know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. Tell us about the other four's information as well."

"Okay, I'll continue."

"Zhou Baimei, one ring, with the Crimson Tail Butterfly Martial Soul, belonging to the attack-type Soul Master."

"Zhan Chen, one ring, with the Ancient God's Ruler Martial Soul, a support-type Tool Martial Soul Soul Master."

"Ding Xiangsheng, one ring, with the Rock Elephant Martial Soul, belonging to the attack-type Soul Master."

"He Yun, one ring, with the Jade Mantis Martial Soul, belonging to the agility-type Soul Master."

"These are the enemies. Among the remaining four, pay attention to their support, the one with the Ancient God's Ruler. This person's strength is close to level twenty, so you need to be extra careful. Alright, that's all. Does anyone have any questions?"

Yuan Yu asked the six people in front of her.

"No problem! Everyone, I believe we can definitely win! Go, team!"

"Go!!"

The seven people joined hands, shouting to cheer each other on.

After discussing tactics, the seven were about to disperse. Yan Qingwan wanted to talk to Ming Tian, but she found that Ming Tian immediately went to find Yuan Yu after they left, and she didn't know what they were talking about. It looked mysterious. Seeing that Ming Tian and Yuan Yu had been getting close these days, Yan Qingwan felt a bit displeased for some reason. Seeing Ming Tian and Yuan Yu talking, even almost face to face, she was furious.

"That's the situation. I hope you'll pay more attention when you go back and tell your father."

Ming Tian told Yuan Yu what Meng Qianji had instructed him, and Yuan Yu's small face became more serious than ever, nodding to Ming Tian.

"Yes, thank you, Ming Tian. This information is very important and timely. It seems that Tianling City is about to change."

"Yes, Sister Yuan Yu, as for the upcoming competition, how much chance of winning do you actually have?"

"Actually, I'm not sure either, but I can tell you that I also have my own trump card."

"Oh, right, can I ask you a question? Can your Rain Cloud enlarge and overlap to envelop everyone, blurring everyone's vision?"

"This, maybe if I try my best. Why, what do you want to do? The last time I used Rain Cloud to help you, I could feel that you also had a secret, that strange soul skill. Although I don't know what your trump card is, if you want me to help, I can still do my best to help you."

Yuan Yu said with a smile, glancing sideways at Yan Qingwan, who was waiting aside. Thinking of something, she deliberately leaned close to Ming Tian's face and whispered into his ear:

"That Yan Qingwan also knows some of your secrets. She seems to trust you a lot, and she trusts you very much. You have to cherish such a little girl."

"Ah? Sister Yuan Yu, I..."

Ming Tian blushed and wanted to explain something, but Yuan Yu smiled triumphantly at Yan Qingwan and walked away with her hands behind her back.

Yan Qingwan saw the two finish their secret conversation and angrily stepped forward, looking at Ming Tian and saying:

"Hey! I saw everything just now! What were you whispering about? And you were so close? Were you talking about something bad? Say it!"

Yan Qingwan glared at Ming Tian with her small eyes, looking angry. Ming Tian was taken aback by Yan Qingwan's posture and scratched his head awkwardly, saying:

"We were just discussing tactics, nothing else."

"Really? You can't even tell a lie! Humph!"

Yan Qingwan turned around, looking quite cute in her anger.

"Alright, Xiaowan, why are you so angry? Let's go back."

Ming Tian came over to persuade Yan Qingwan.

Just as he was about to take Yan Qingwan away, he found that Yan Qingwan lowered her head, her eyes a little lost.

"Xiaowan, what's wrong?"

Ming Tian asked, a little puzzled.

"Ming Tian, do you remember the time we went to my family's auction house, and our father called us over when we got back?"

"I remember, what's wrong?"

"That time, our father told us that he was confident in sending us to the Martial Soul Hall, no matter the cost. But Tianling City only has three spots. You can imagine how difficult it is to enter the Martial Soul Hall. I'm afraid our father will do something bad to send us to the Martial Soul Hall. He's that kind of person, who can spare no cost for us."

"And I don't want to go to the Martial Soul Hall at all. I'm not as enthusiastic as my brother, but if I don't go, I'm afraid I'll upset my father. I'll go against his wishes."

"But if I go, won't you and I become enemies? Won't I never see these friends in Tianling City again, and have to train constantly every day, becoming miserable? I don't want that, but I don't know what to do..."

Yan Qingwan started to cry as she spoke, throwing herself onto Ming Tian's shoulder on the empty street and crying. Ming Tian was also stunned for a long time.

Not knowing how to comfort Yan Qingwan, he patted her back and said:

"It's okay, Xiaowan. I have no relationship with the Martial Soul Hall, and it has nothing to do with you and Big Brother Yan. Even if you go to the Martial Soul Hall, we are still friends. I just hate the people who killed my parents. If you want to go, don't worry about my feelings, and listen to your most true thoughts and do what you want to do the most."

"You don't have to think so much about others; you need to think about yourself. Maybe one day, we will have to learn to make decisions..."
