Chapter 362: Chapter 141: Silence is Golden, but a Shout Shakes the World

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Yun Xiao gathered nine people at Huo Tian’s processing factory.

Among them, Long Yi organized six people, and the military dog tracked down Yun Xiao, whom they encountered midway.

"Good, we’re all here. Let’s start dividing the tasks. Our current location is crime base number one. Going down from here, there are six more crime dens we need to take down. Therefore, we’ll split into groups of four. Long Yi, myself, and Jing Haoran will each lead a team. Everyone must be quick when taking down the bases. Because this war is real, if a crime den is taken by others or if we alert the criminals and they escape, our mission will fail. Losing a badge means falling further behind from the first place. To ensure we complete our tasks more effectively, it is imperative that we divide into teams. Everyone must also unite and strive for first place."

As Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, everyone nodded solemnly without objection.

She continued, "There’s also the hostage rescue; twelve locations are marked on the map indicating where the hostages are. Be very careful during the rescue. This is an exercise, but being captured or ’killed’ will result in a loss of half your points. If your points are deducted, it will drag down the team’s score, so everyone must plan carefully before acting. Therefore, the personnel allocation is as follows: Baili Tao, Ning Hai, and Guan Dongjiu follow me. Jing Haoran leads Fu Xi and Wu Yunhui, Bai Yang. Long Yi, Yun Xiao, Ji Xinyu, Chen Wenshu."

Twelve people were assigned.

"Tomorrow at five o’clock in the afternoon, we’ll meet at the intelligence base on the border of Xuan State. We’re preparing to enter Dafen to help resist the war. Does everyone have confidence in completing the mission?" Gu Xiaoxi spoke with a serious tone, her voice rising inspiringly.

"Yes!" Everyone shouted out confidently.

They had worked hard for half a year for this moment; first place was something they had to strive for, even if it meant risking their lives.

Jing Haoran raised his hand confidently with a smile, "Come on, everyone, let’s do this!"

At that moment, everyone formed a circle, their faces beaming with smiles, "Don’t worry, we guarantee to complete the mission."

"Then I can rest easy!" Gu Xiaoxi extended her hand just like everyone else and cheered for the competition.

As for the arrangements, she had made them based on everyone’s combat strength.

Long Yi, leading the group with the highly skilled in Inner Strength Ji Xinyu and Special Ability User Yun Xiao, paired with the formidable attacker Chen Wenshu, made the most suitable combination. Although Long Yi wasn’t as powerful as Yun Xiao, he had greater organizational ability, making him the best choice as the team leader.

Baili Tao, Ning Hai, and Guan Dongjiu, all average fighters, not outstanding but not weak either, so following her, they could support each other.

Jing Haoran had an overpowering presence, paired with the strongest assassin Fu Xi, and the highly skilled in Inner Strength Wu Yunhui and Bai Yang.

Such a combination could effectively complement each other and evenly distribute combat strength, allowing everyone to perform better in completing the tasks.

"We’ll disperse now! Pay attention to the time markers. Make sure each of our times remains above seven days, after all, the resistance war coming up can’t be completed in just a day or two."

After the final distribution,

Gu Xiaoxi and everyone split up in three different directions and then immersed themselves tensely into the competition.

Not long after parting with Gu Xiaoxi, Yun Xiao ran into Sack on a narrow path!

Enemies often cross each other’s paths... Sack thought! Heaven was truly helping him by letting him run into Gu Xiaoxi’s people, and Jing Haoran wasn’t among them.

The grudge from Gu Xiaoxi and Ji Xinyu earlier and the humiliation from this morning were now his to reclaim.

"Sack, you’re blocking our way! What are you trying to do?" Long Yi knew this guy was looking for trouble; after all, on that night, their Southern State Country lost face.

Ji Xinyu, however, knew why Sack was causing trouble at this time; the incident from last night was one thing, but the humiliation from this morning was the real deal.

He thought they were easy targets without the stronger members present, and now he was seeking revenge.

Sack clenched his fists and cracked a cold smile, "I am blocking your way. So what? Hand over your time markers, and also, I heard you’ve already taken down the enemy’s first base. Give me the badges you got. I could go easy on you if you do."

"You’re going to fight us?" Long Yi scoffed, "Go ahead and try!"

Sack let out a cold laugh and raised his hand, unleashing a burst of Magic power.

Ji Xinyu immediately became alert; this guy had suffered at the hands of Gu Xiaoxi earlier in the morning. He was taking advantage of the fact that Jing Haoran wasn’t with them to bully them with Magic. The power of a Sixth Order Magician wasn’t to be taken lightly.

Without any hesitation, he shouted, "Catch them, before he completes his Magic!"

As he spoke, he was the first to attack Sack.

Clearly, they were all too late.

With a wave of his hand, Sack watched as the group instantly felt bound by something, unable to move and maintain their poses.

Looking at the people who were suddenly frozen in place, Sack couldn’t help his disdain, arrogantly saying, "Even Gu Xiaoxi would be afraid if she encountered me, you guys are nothing. The frustration I experienced last night and this morning at Gu Xiaoxi’s, I’ll get it all back now. Beat them until they’re crippled."

Sack signaled his companions behind him; everyone had been holding back for a long time, all aware that Sack possessed Binding Spell Magic, which was not to be trifed with.

Seeing the state of the Liuli Country group now, they felt a satisfying rush and clenched their fists, attacking the four individuals.

Yun Xiao’s face turned pitch black, these people really weren’t good at all, picking on the weak at midnight.

Just as Sack was about to make a move on Long Yi, he suddenly found that he too was immobilized.

By the time he came to his senses, everything below his head was encased in ice.

He couldn’t move, his mind in disarray, and his magic instantly failed.

Long Yi didn’t know what was happening, but he quickly caught on and, with the others, counterattacked Sack’s companions.

Chaos ensued at the scene, dust flying... Sack’s minions were beaten to a sorry state.

At this moment, Sack felt like dying. He had originally planned to take advantage of Jing Haoran’s absence to bully these Little Rolos but had failed.

Not only had he failed, but he was also forced to watch his companions being brutally beaten.

This mage couldn’t strike back at all; apart from his eyes and breathing, he couldn’t even move his mouth.

Yun Xiao, always a man of few words, couldn’t help but walk up to Sack, imitating Gu Xiaoxi’s radiant smile, "What should we do with you guys, huh? Maybe tie you up with rope and hang you from the trees?"

"Did you do all this? You’ve hidden your capabilities well! Release me; I’m going to freeze to death," Sack said in both shock and anger. Once again, he had the misfortune of kicking an iron board.

By his estimation, the layer of ice on his body was about two fingers thick, and even thicker under his feet, enough to be ten centimeters, hence, he was immobile, wrapped in ice crystals, filled with profound fear.

Because in his mind, a mage who could instantly turn water into ice had reached a higher level. As an Intermediate Mage, he clearly was not skilled enough.

"Is this how you beg for mercy, with such audacity? Also, don’t even think about using that crude magic of yours on me again!" If Yun Xiao hadn’t considered that their crimes weren’t worthy of death, he would have dispatched them with a flurry of Ice Needles to meet King Yama long ago. Would he have allowed them to be so insolent here?

Ji Xinyu swiftly snatched seven time pieces from Sack’s subordinates, then turned to Yun Xiao with an incredulous stare, "Woman, you’ve really kept yourself hidden. All this time, I never realized you were so formidable."

After Long Yi finished dealing with Sack’s teammates, he too looked at Yun Xiao with the same astonishment.

In his memory, Yun Xiao was always reticent, mostly following silently beside Gu Xiaoxi with hardly any presence. He had always thought she was participating in the World Championship because of her relation to Gu Xiaoxi.

To be exact, they all believed she was relying on Gu Xiaoxi, step by step, to get where she is today.

Yet out of nowhere, her sudden display of strength left them all shocked.

Ji Xinyu had always thought that his Inner Strength and Spiritual Power were strong, that aside from Gu Xiaoxi, he should be the most skilled in the team.

Unexpectedly, not only was he tightly suppressed by the Special Ability User Jing Haoran, but now there was also Yun Xiao, who had kept her prowess hidden. He guessed it was time to adjust his ranking in the group.

"How terrifying!" Ji Xinyu shivered.

Not only is Gu Xiaoxi a freak, but so are the people around her.

Yun Xiao spoke rarely, but when she did, it was astonishing.

After severely punishing Sack, they tied them up with vines to a nearby tree, and it was only then that Long Yi continued on with Yun Xiao and the others.

It was apparent that along the way, everyone warmed up quite a bit to Yun Xiao, but more than that, they admired her abilities.

The Ice Ability was so powerful that it could even break Magic.
