Chapter 48: The Impulsive Murong Xue
The Awakened on the field laughed when they saw this scene.
“I’m dying of laughter. Murong Xue’s personality is too valiant.”
“She’s indeed very beautiful, but she’s also too valiant!”
“Did you see the principal’s expression? His face was full of discomfort, hahaha!”
“Murong Xue really teamed up with Liu Yan? For these two top-notch experts to have teamed up, they should be invincible!”
“To have such a Goddess teammate, it must feel good!”
“I actually feel that having a teammate like Liu Yan would be more reliable. I’d feel completely safe.”
“…”
At this moment, when the principal saw that Murong Xue was finally brought down the stage by Liu Yan, he heaved a sigh of relief, tidied up his appearance, and walked forward once again.
“Awakened, the time is about to arrive. I wish all of you success in clearing level three and surviving! We are entering the last ten minutes to count down. Everyone, please get ready. We will open level three on time. All the Awakened are to enter level three, the Taiji Basin, according to their teams!”
When the Awakened heard that there were only ten minutes left, they made their final preparations.
Those who couldn’t find their teammates found all sorts of ways to di sim while the teams that had already gathered were making their final tactical arrangements.
As for Liu Yan, he simply stood there quietly, waiting for level three to be opened.
It was the first time Murong Xue and Chu Long had met, but the two quickly got along and chatted with each other.
From time to time, they even sneaked glances at Liu Yan while they chatted.
Liu Yan slightly frowned. It couldn’t be that they were speaking ill of him behind his back, right?
Soon, the time arrived.
The huge teleportation array was activated, and the teams of Awakened entered one after another.
Liu Yan and the other two entered the teleportation array together as well.
After a wave of dizziness, they appeared on level three of the Tower.
Level three was the Taiji Basin, and not far away, they could see a huge lake.
The surroundings were surrounded by mountains.
At the same time, teams of Awakened continuously appeared beside Liu Yan and the other two.
Some of the Awakened were from the Lighthouse Academy, while some of them looked unfamiliar, obviously from the other Towers.
At a glance, there were many people. The number of people here was many times more than when they were in the Lighthouse Academy.
Obviously, after entering level three, many Towers had merged again. All the Awakened were gathered in the same Tower.
At the same time, a card that seemed to be made of both jade and metal appeared in the hands of Liu Yan and the other two. The card was as big as a palm but as light as a feather, which was truly strange.
Liu Yan touched it. There was a cool sensation, and on his card was a big ‘yin’ word. Obviously, this was a yin card.
Liu Yan then looked at Chu Long and Murong Xue. They had both gotten yin cards as well.
The Awakened in the surroundings seemed to also have all obtained yin cards.
The other Awakened also noticed this and started to discuss it among themselves.
“All of us gave gotten yin cards, so there is no possibility of snatching the other card from each other, which means there is no conflict of interest.”
“Then why don’t we form a large team together? With so many of us working together, wouldn’t it be much safer?”
“That’s right, that’s a good idea. After we obtain the yang cards, we can distribute them according to strength, from strongest to weakest. This way, we can maximize our survival and enter level four.”
“I’m in. Who else wants to join?”
For a moment, many of the Awakened came to a consensus. They planned to form a large team and work together.
Seeing this, Chu Long could not help but be tempted. She asked in a low voice, “Big brother Liu Yan, should we join? Although they are weaker, they have more people. It should be safer to move together, right?”
Liu Yan shook his head.
Firstly, he knew very well how strong he was and was very confident in his strength. There was no need for him to join such a team.
Secondly, forming a team with many people might not be a good idea. If they encountered a large number of powerful fierce beasts, it would instead be even more dangerous.
After all, the weak Awakened would not be of much help to Liu Yan. Instead, they would be a burden to him.
Liu Yan himself was extremely powerful, and it was not a problem for him to face most of the fierce beasts. Even if he occasionally encountered a fierce beast that was too powerful, with only two others with him, it would be more convenient for him to move and it would be easier for them to retreat.
Lastly, the distribution of benefits after forming a team was also a problem. The Awakened who were stronger would be given priority in obtaining the yang cards, but what about the weaker ones? Could it be that they would not have to chance to obtain a yang card and were just waiting to be eliminated in the end?
Liu Yan did not believe that they could obtain enough yang cards in the end after forming such a large team. If that was plausible, level three of the Tower would be too simple.
Only the weak would want to huddle together to survive. The experts would choose to increase their strength and act alone.
“There’s no need for that. The three of us will do,” Liu Yan said as he stood up and left.
Seeing this, Chu long naturally listened to Liu Yan and followed behind him.
Murong Xue was lazy to bother with so many people and did not want to team up with them at all. As such, she also followed Liu Yan.
The three of them left the crowd of Awakened and stopped under a relatively quiet giant tree.
Liu Yan used Spirit Vision and Beast’s Sense of Smell to check the surroundings. There were no fierce beasts or danger, so he was relieved.
“There’s no danger in this area for the time being. Let’s have a small meeting here to discuss our plan of action before moving out,” Liu Yan said directly.
Although he was confident in his strength, it was still dangerous. He was used to being careful to ensure safety. He couldn’t be arrogant just because he was strong.
“Okay, let’s discuss the plan of action before moving out. Only then will there be no mistakes,” Chu Long nodded in agreement.
Murong Xue, who was standing at the side, had a look of disdain on her face as she said, “Liu Yan, you’re so powerful, so why are you so cowardly? Why don’t we just go and fight the beasts? Sooner or later, the yang cards will drop.”
Liu Yan frowned slightly as he looked at Murong Xue. He was a little displeased. She was quite strong, but she was really impulsive and self-righteous. She did things without thinking. It would be difficult for her to survive and challenge the Tower with such a character.
Liu Yan firmly believed that there was bound to be someone better than himself. No matter how strong one was, there would always be someone stronger.
Moreover, they were now discussing the action plan as a small plan, yet this was Murong Xue’s attitude.
Liu Yan’s face immediately fell. He said unhappily, “Since you’re so good at fighting and you want to fight so much, then please go do so by yourself. But you have to leave your card in my hands. I can’t let you just bring it away with you!”
Seeing this, Chu long quickly went up to persuade Murong Xue, “Big sister Murong Xue, please listen to big brother Liu Yan. We should act together. It’s always good to be careful.”
Murong Xue shook off Chu Long’s hand and said, “Sure, I’ll leave my yin card to you. I’ll go and fight the beasts and gather both yin and yang cards. You guys can just sit here and wait. It’s enough for me to fight the beasts alone!”
With that, she handed over her yin card and left, looking for fierce beasts alone.
