Chapter 1232: Reserved Pride
A night passed in the blink of an eye.
Xia Xiaodie woke up early to make breakfast for Xu Fan. Although it was a moment of separation, Xia Xiaodie was all smiles.
Xia Xiaodie didn't want Xu Fan to be distracted by her, she hoped Xu Fan would see her at her best.
Similarly, Xu Fan maintained a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. After finishing breakfast, they sat quietly in the courtyard, gently leaning against each other.
The warm sunlight poured down, this scene was as beautiful as a painting.
However, it was finally time to say goodbye. A helicopter landed in the courtyard, and two young men jumped out of it, showing respect.
Xu Fan calmly boarded the helicopter, turned around, and waved to Xia Xiaodie with a smile. Xia Xiaodie stood in the courtyard, also waving to Xu Fan, her face full of smiles.
The helicopter roared to life and took off, stirring up gusts of wind and flying towards the distance. Inside the helicopter, Xu Fan waved to Xia Xiaodie until she became a tiny black dot, no longer visible. Xu Fan pursed his lips, his face full of resolve.
…
On the helicopter, Xu Fan quickly composed himself, focusing on how to deal with the upcoming situation.
The Hidden World Families, had formed nine battle teams in the alliance, with many members from these families. Obviously, managing them would not be easy, and elevating the Grey Wolf Team to the top three in strength within a month would be even harder.
At this moment, Xu Fan turned to look at the two people in the helicopter, "What are your names?"
"Report to Coach Xu! My name is Li Tao!"
"Report to Coach Xu! My name is Wu Hao!"
Li Tao and Wu Hao respectfully reported their names to Xu Fan.
Both had heard of the legendary Earth List third place Xu Fan, who almost killed a Zhiwei Realm expert, coming to coach the Grey Wolf Team. The entire battle team was abuzz, eager for Xu Fan's arrival.
Don't misunderstand, it's not about slaughtering pigs and sheep to welcome Xu Fan, but giving him an initial shock, to see what this legendary Earth List third place can do.
If they accidentally knocked down this Earth List third place, wouldn't they become the Earth List second, Earth List first?
The Heavenly Net-like plan had been laid out, and Li Tao and Wu Hao were merely drivers. Despite driving a helicopter sounding cool, they couldn't offend anyone on either side.
"While we have some time, tell me about the situation. I hear you have a major competition in a month? What are the names of the participating teams? How much stronger are they compared to your Grey Wolf team?"
Li Tao was most proud of his membership in the Grey Wolf team! As long as he didn't perform too poorly, he would surely become a backbone member of the major Hidden World Families in the future!
However, Li Tao most disliked being asked about the major competition, as the Grey Wolf Team had been last in recent years.
Now, being asked by Xu Fan, Li Tao could only explain, "Indeed, there is an annual training competition in a month. This competition is important, determining many people's fates, and many influential figures are said to come and watch. The competing teams are all Cultivation Battle Teams controlled by the Hidden World Families, nine teams in total."
"Among the nine, there are Heavenly Dragon, Ice Phoenix, Scorpio, White Tiger, Taotie, Whirlwind, Kirin, Fierce Lion, and Grey Wolf. Among them, the Heavenly Dragon and Ice Phoenix teams have consistently won the top two places in recent years, while the third place is contended by the strong teams Scorpio, White Tiger, and Whirlwind."
"Our goal has always been the Fierce Lion, but unfortunately we lose every year, with Fierce Lion eighth and Grey Wolf ninth..."
Xu Fan listened and only his eyelid twitched. How weak must Grey Wolf be! Repeatedly challenging the second-to-last, yet repeatedly losing, truly living up to being the last...
Suddenly, Li Tao's voice became passionate, "But, our Grey Wolf Team has many outstanding talents, like Liu Tianle, Zhou Minghui, Gu Feng among the young talents, and many teams wanting to challenge and replace us have all failed!"
Xu Fan fell into silence, is there really anything to be proud of?
Li Tao seemed to notice Xu Fan's low spirits, thinking Xu Fan worried about being targeted by Grey Wolf members, he couldn't help but feel a bit emotional at this moment.
Although the Grey Wolf Team couldn't defeat Fierce Lion, besides the eight teams including Fierce Lion, there might not be another team in the world that could compare.
Even this legendary Earth List third place, hearing the name of the Grey Wolf Team, had to be silent for a moment as a sign of respect.
"Um... tell me about the combat strength of Grey Wolf's members."
Li Tao's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. As expected, this legendary Earth List third place was getting impatient and wanted to gather intelligence!
"Coach Xu, our Grey Wolf Team's three best, Liu Tianle, Zhou Minghui, Gu Feng, all have Entering Dao Realm Peak strength. In terms of true combat power, looking at the Entering Dao Realm, there are probably few who can compare."
"Most members are generally at Entering Dao Realm's Early to Middle Stage."
Xu Fan fell silent again, Grey Wolf Team's top three, looking at Entering Dao Realm, few can compare? So, the members of the eight teams including Fierce Lion all have cultivations at Vajra Realm?
In one month, make a group of Entering Dao Realm weaklings defeat a group of Vajra Realm experts, the difficulty is extraordinarily high...
Moreover, that Liu Tianle, Xu Fan had long since interacted with, the so-called genius, who couldn't match anyone in the Entering Dao Realm was just someone Xu Fan defeated in one move...
Li Tao spoke again with a slightly restrained pride, "Well, I'm actually a top performer at Entering Dao Realm Middle Stage, looking at Entering Dao Realm Middle Stage, only a few in the Grey Wolf Team can compete with me. But I made a small mistake recently, so I was punished to..."
Xu Fan heard this and felt a bit troubled.
Looking at Entering Dao Realm as if it were the entire universe, and Entering Dao Realm Middle Stage? And the entire Grey Wolf Team? And a top performer? Armed with just a few people who can compete with you?
The entire sentence turned an ordinary person in an instant into a top genius, looking at the world, few could rival him...
Such pretentiousness, even Xu Fan had to admit defeat at this moment.
Xu Fan was speechless and sighed, patting Li Tao's shoulder, and simply closed his eyes, sitting silently.
Xu Fan's demeanor was seen differently in Li Tao's eyes.
