Chapter 785: Chapter 787: The Useless Squad (Eight)
"Master," Qian Chengyan said sheepishly, "look, there are exactly four of us, how about we form a team?"
Before Mu Ruyue could speak, Shu Ning raised an eyebrow with a smile on her lips, "I agree!"
"I have no objections."
An Qian blinked her watery eyes and turned to look at Mu Ruyue beside her.
"Alright," Mu Ruyue pondered for a moment, then lightly nodded.
Qian Chengyan’s eyes lit up, his handsome face radiant in the morning light, "Master, we will surely win this competition!"
Not only had he reached the Dark Origin Realm, but the strength of his master was also equally unfathomable—even he didn’t know what level she really was at...
"Qian Chengyan, don’t underestimate the people here," Mu Ruyue smiled faintly, "In this place, there are also many geniuses, only that some people have hidden their strength."
Just like Shu Ning beside her...
Shu Ning gave a refined smile, "Now that our team is formed, we should also register. There is a saying I really agree with, in this great competition, it truly is a gathering of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It’s my first time realizing that there are so many geniuses in the world..."
She had been secretly trained by her family for many years to achieve such accomplishments, yet she hadn’t expected that a woman in her twenties, without so much nurturing, could reach such strength.
Within East Island, indeed, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
And after meeting Mu Ruyue, Shu Ning had realized how shortsighted her own perspective had been...
Both of them spoke with underlying meanings, which made Qian Chengyan pause, his eyes filled with confusion, clearly not understanding what they were talking about...
Soon, everyone had completed forming their teams, and when they saw Mu Ruyue’s group of four standing closely together, they were first taken aback, then burst into uproarious laughter.
"Am I seeing this right? These four actually want to team up?"
"The strength of those two women isn’t too bad. Intermediate Innate might not be very powerful in these teams, but it’s enough for self-protection. However, if these four team up, they will definitely die miserably in this elimination round!"
"Tsk, tsk, a cultivation-disabled waste, a weak Fake Innate, and two Intermediate Innates... Could they dare to be any weaker?"
It’s not that they were looking down on this team, it’s simply that the strength they displayed was too weak! Any random team could eliminate them! There could absolutely be no surprises!
Especially An Qian from the An Family, simply a burden, what use could a strength-less waste serve?
Though the competition didn’t specify the participants’ strength levels, there were still many who were aware of their own limitations and wouldn’t dare show their face without reaching the Innate Level.
I don’t know who gave them the courage to come here and embarrass themselves...
However, from start to finish, those four remained unflustered, as if they hadn’t heard a word...
This kind of mocking language, Qian Chengyan and An Qian had heard countless times from childhood to adulthood, even the most unpleasant ones, and with Shu Ning’s quiet and refined personality, why would she take notice of them? Mu Ruyue was even more so, it was as if those people were nothing more than air to her eyes...
"Hmph!" An Lin scoffed coldly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, "An Qian is truly courting death!"
Such a combination, if not courting death, then what?"
