Chapter 326: Chapter 105: Let’s See Who He Is First

"Buddies, are you looking for us? Interrupting our rest is a taboo for this young master!" Zhuang Sheng toyed with the knife in his hand, his tone more serious than ever.

"Taboo! Do you think you came here to sight-see and have fun? Five people and such big talk!" The man retorted with a cold expression.

Gu Xiaoxi twirled the knife in her hand, looking profoundly at the man, "Five people, we can still defeat all twelve of you. But I think this knife is too dangerous. If you can put down your daggers, I believe we can all just engage in hand-to-hand combat."

"We are comrades-in-arms after all; it’s indeed not good to hurt someone. I agree with your proposal!" The leader said as he took the lead and threw away his dagger.

Gu Xiaoxi also took the lead and put down her bayonet.

With this style of fighting, there wouldn’t be any accidental injuries, so they could fight with ease.

Both sides charged into the battlefield without any hesitation.

Clearly, the ambushers had not taken them seriously because they were not only rookies but also few in number.

Two against one, they wouldn’t need more than two moves to capture them.

But the reality was the exact opposite; not only did the twelve of them fail to capture Gu Xiaoxi and the others quickly, but three of them also ended up being captured instead.

One person was surprised by Gu Xiaoxi during fast movement, as she pressed the red button on his bracelet. It could be called a sneak attack.

Another was tricked by Zhuang Xiaomeng, who pressed the red button on his Positioning Bracelet.

The last one was overpowered by Fu Xi, who pinned him to the ground and forcefully captured him.

The battle had just begun, and already three were eliminated.

As veterans, the only thing more shocking than their disbelief was the insult to their pride, so they fought even more fiercely against Gu Xiaoxi and her group.

Yet the result remained the same.

Gu Xiaoxi moved incredibly fast, easily dodging their attacks and counterattacking with swift and agile movements like a bolt of lightning or a escaping rabbit. The opponents simply couldn’t lay a finger on her.

Yun Xiao’s combat ability was relatively low because she was still hiding her true strength.

The others, each one fierce and invincible like wolves and tigers.

Five minutes later, all of the ambushers were eliminated.

Gu Xiaoxi led the group to clean up the battlefield, then pack up their gear, and find a few large trees close together. They climbed up to prepare for sleep.

By ten o’clock at night, everyone had laid down.

Their clothes were wet, they lay barefoot on the tree trunks, sleeping soundly.

Gu Xiaoxi leaned against the large tree, and only then did she realize how happy her previous life had been.

Even without biological parents, she had been carefully looked after by her foster mother and instructed by her masters. She never lacked food or clothing, and after meeting Quan Shaoqing, her life had become even more colorful, never having to worry or exert herself over trifles. Now that she was facing reality alone, she realized just how difficult all of this truly was.

She had been separated from Quan Shaoqing for only two days, yet it felt longer than the previous month they were apart. In this plight, she found herself thinking of him.

And not just thinking, but feeling sweet inside, as if she had eaten honey.

Yun Xiao, Zhuang Xiaomeng, Baili Tao, and Fu Xi had already rested. She was the one arranged to keep the first watch of the night.

But now, she realized that Fu Xi hadn’t fallen asleep either. He simply lay on the tree branch, gazing at the moon in the night sky.

From her position, she could see his long eyelashes flickering.

"Why aren’t you asleep?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.

"I was thinking, if the national competition is this dangerous and difficult, then how much more dangerous could the world competition be!"

After hearing his words, Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you so certain that you’ll make it to the world competition?"

"Aren’t you just as certain that you’ll make it to the big competition?"

Gu Xiaoxi chuckled, a spark of brightness in her eyes, "Indeed, the world competition is a must-go destination."

Not only must she go, but she was determined to place highly. Even amidst a gathering of heroes, she intended to distinguish herself.

"Gu Xiaoxi, I think we need some more formidable teammates. With 160 people in this competition, I estimate now that about 100 people have already been eliminated. Among those remaining, there are at least 20 strong ones. They are not only from famous sects with deep Inner Strength but also have extraordinary talents. If we can find people who coordinate well with us for the world competition, our odds of winning will be much greater," Fu Xi said gravely.

"What do you think of Zhuang Xiaomeng and Baili Tao?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.

"That will depend on whether they can make it to the end. As the tasks become more and more arduous, our opponents will become increasingly formidable. It’s best for us to stick together!"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, finding his words reasonable, and did not deny them.

"I have someone to recommend!"

"Who?"

"Guan Dongjiu! Born in the Q Department’s field army, with the rank of Major. If we can get him to join our team, our chances of winning will increase a bit more."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded knowingly, "Let’s see! It would be best to form an alliance if we encounter him. But if he looks down on us, there’s nothing we can do."

Soon everyone fell asleep, and at that moment, Gu Xiaoxi stood beside them, releasing a great amount of Spiritual Energy, using it to heal their bodies.

In her eyes, Zhuang Xiaomeng and Baili Tao were both very good, one talkative, the other silent, just right to complement each other. Most importantly, they knew how to advance and retreat, coordinating well with their teammates.

If the world competition required twelve people to participate, then it would be a team match.

A team match doesn’t care about how strong individuals are, but about how well they can work together as one.

As the saying goes, a single chopstick breaks easily.

But a bunch of chopsticks bundled together is not so easily snapped.

Once Gu Xiaoxi saw that everyone’s injuries on their feet and faces had healed, she re-entered mediation and began cultivating again.

Now, with only five teammates for the world competition, there was still a long way to go.

There was no rush to recruit Guan Dongjiu into the fold; they’d first have to see what he was made of.
