Mark's face was grim because he knew nothing about this matter; he had never heard anything about seeking out Cheng Yu for a duel.

Ever since he said those things that time, it's as if he's incurred public wrath and has been intentionally or unintentionally silenced.

Mark grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his gaze fell undisguisedly on Longyue. It was all because of her, all because of her.

If it weren't for her, his position in the team would never have become so precarious. Not to mention that he's the captain, he's practically invisible now.

Furthermore, Longyue's strength is growing stronger and stronger. On several occasions, Cheng Yu has praised her in front of everyone, which makes Mark, who has been criticized by Cheng Yu, even more unhappy.

This can't go on any longer. We must, we absolutely must, find a chance to get rid of him!

A hint of ruthlessness unconsciously crept into Mark's eyes.

Actually, it's not that people don't tell him, it's just that every time they talk to him, Mark uses a sarcastic and lecturing tone, so after a while, naturally no one wants to talk to him anymore.

Furthermore, everyone could sense that Mark was unhappy with Oborozuki, which made people dislike Mark, who was petty, even more.

They also frequently saw Mark giving Longyue an unusual look, which made Li Tiangen and the others wary.

After this training session in the wilderness ends, they will return to the martial arts school and tell the headmaster everything. Given the headmaster's high regard for Oborozuki, Mark will no longer be in their group.

Such infighting must absolutely not exist within their group.

Li Tiangen had tried to dissuade him privately, but it was no use; in fact, Mark ridiculed him, so Li Tiangen gave up on the idea.

After all, no one owes anyone anything, so there's no need to indulge anyone.

During this month, Wang Ren also made everyone feel that there was something wrong with him, because no matter what he said or did, he remained silent.

In any team, communication is essential, whether it's good or bad. Without it, problems can easily arise. Wang Ren's attitude is quite serious.

It might not have mattered before, but now they are a team and need to work on their chemistry to prepare for the team competition a few months from now.

The owner gathered them together partly because of their strength, but more importantly for this competition, which is so important that it could determine the life or death of their branch.

However, they were not informed of the competition. All they knew was that it was an individual competition. Li Tiangen only knew about it because his parents told him.

They had tried talking to Wang Ren, but it was no use.

That makes it very difficult.

The competition rules stipulate that a team needs to consist of 7 people. Previously, they did only have 7 people, but now two more have joined, so the number of spots is uncertain.

Everything was against the rules. Logically speaking, new students who have just entered the martial arts school should not be qualified to participate in this competition.

However, there are exceptions; rules are, after all, set by people.

Some people, even though they have a spot, don't cherish it and end up giving away what they should have had. I wonder if they'll regret it.

Cheng Yu shifted his gaze from the news on the quantum computer to Li Tiangen, and then scanned him one by one.

Li Tiangen's heart tightened, and he subconsciously straightened his back!

"You want to spar with me?" The voice was cold and emotionless. Cheng Yu was somewhat surprised by their request.

Under Cheng Yu's gaze, Li Tiangen subconsciously wanted to deny it, "No..."

"Yes!" Longyue readily admitted. Since Li Tiangen had already spoken, it was too late to say anything now.

Li Tiangen: ...

No, he doesn't want to!

But he cannot deny it, he cannot deny it, he cannot deny it!!!

Especially the word he just uttered unconsciously, which made him feel the "death stare" from his teammates.

"Sure, I'll give you all some guidance." Cheng Yu rolled up his sleeves and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, revealing his delicate collarbone. Paired with his handsome face and pursed lips, a powerful aura immediately emanated from him.

Qian Duoduo rubbed his fists together, his eyes filled with eager anticipation.

Gao Tianqi is similar.

Although Liang Yi was arrogant, he looked very serious.

Only Li Tiangen looked distressed; he was afraid!

"Bang!"

"Smack!"

"Thump!"

...

Half an hour later, Cheng Yu patted off non-existent dust from his clothes, his cool demeanor undiminished, still as handsome as ever.

As for the others...

They all lay face down on the ground.

"Wow, the boss is awesome!"

"Ah, the boss is the best!"

"Boss, you're so cool!"

The group of men who had been beaten up came to their senses and looked at their companions, who were also bruised and swollen, with tears in their eyes. They suddenly wondered why they had gone out of their way to get beaten up. Were they really that desperate?

But having already been beaten, their strong will to survive led them to fawn over Cheng Yu.

Longyue dusted herself off and slowly got up from the ground.

"Junior Sister? Aren't you in pain anymore?" Qian Miaomiao looked at Longyue in surprise. In the previous sparring, Junior Sister was the one who got beaten the worst. She wondered if the boss had some kind of "grudge" against Junior Sister. He hit Junior Sister much harder than they did.

"Damn, sis, you're amazing!" Liang Yi lay on the ground clutching his waist, giving Long Yue a thumbs up.

Ouch, that really hurts!

"It's so embarrassing, we're not even as good as our junior sister." Li Tiangen covered his face.
