Zhu Qinlan immediately objected. She clung tightly to Yanluo's arm, making the slime want to break it. She said sourly, "No wonder you were in such a hurry to leave with the throne last time. I didn't care about the child waiting, but this little girl is the one who's waiting."
When Chi Miaomiao heard Yan Luo say that she was his fiancée, she immediately straightened the jar of jealousy, carefully putting the spilled vinegar back into the jar, just like Boss Cao. She smiled and shook hands with the members of the tenth squad.
When they arrived in front of Zhu Qinlan, the two of them squinted at each other and sized each other up.
"Hello, I am Chi Miaomiao, the deputy captain of the Ninth Squad."
"Hello, I am Zhu Qinlan, the deputy captain of the tenth squad."
The tension between the two was almost palpable, so Yanluo and Qin Jinwen quickly pulled one of them away.
"Alright, alright, we've all gotten to know each other now. We can build relationships gradually, no need to rush things," Qin Jinwen said as he pulled Zhu Qinlan along.
A group of people walked towards the training room. The members of the Ninth Squad had started training early in the morning.
After getting to know each other, Yanluo suggested that the Ninth Squad and the Tenth Squad have a sparring match to find the shortcomings of the Ninth Squad in teamwork. With an opponent, Yanluo could also join the team and cooperate with everyone.
Qin Jinwen glanced at her teammates and saw that everyone seemed eager to give it a try, which spurred her on as well.
"Go easy on us! Don't ruin Xiao Yan's team!"
"Yes!" x6
Chi Miaomiao's lips twitched. What a pre-battle tactic to stir up hatred.
Xue Yunting and Xue Yungan's fighting spirit was fiercely ignited. Although their opponent was stronger than them, it did not affect the siblings' determination to fight.
All fourteen people changed into their training uniforms and held their own ghost weapons. As Xia Qianzhen shouted "Start!" into the microphone from the second-floor lounge, the two teams instantly clashed.
Xue Yungan felt increasingly pressured as the two girls took turns attacking him. The Ninth Squad's team composition was different from the Tenth Squad; they were all offensive, unlike the Ninth Squad which had Xie Huai'an's control and Fan Qianning's formation.
This situation meant that Xue Yungan had to withstand the enemy's attacks in order to protect Fan Qianning.
Xie Huai'an's Soul-Hooking Lock could also be used as a long whip. She swung the Soul-Hooking Lock to help Xue Yungan, and at that time she retreated to avoid the attack of the person in front of her.
Chi Miaomiao, Zhong Jiudao, and Xue Yunting were also held back by Zhu Qinlan and her two companions, and could not get away to help the others.
Captains Yan Luo and Qin Jinwen played like they were making a game, taking turns wielding swords and knives while chatting and watching their team members' performance.
Xue Yungan has improved tremendously during this period. His training with Yan Luo has enabled him to defend against Yan Luo's moves even though he is one level below Yan Luo, and he tries his best to protect Fan Qianning behind him.
Fan Qianning also used magic to help Xue Yungan share the burden, and each appearance of the magic was surprising.
Especially after Fan Qianning shot out several jets of water, several bolts of lightning struck.
If the person hadn't noticed and dodged quickly, they would have been struck by lightning and burned to a crisp.
Yanluo explained the spells and how they were obtained to Qin Jinwen, who exclaimed, "I never expected the demon race to have such ingenious tricks. They're really amazing!"
Yan Luo smiled and fired several black flames from her hand at the three people who were entangled with Chi Miaomiao and the others.
Qin Jinwen delivered a heavy blow to Yan Luo, saying, "You brat, you attacked my people right under my nose."
"Isn't this just to show Sister Wen?" Yan Luo's move gave Chi Miaomiao and the other two a chance to catch their breath. The three of them retreated and drove away the two who were attacking Xue Yungan and the one who was fighting Xie Huai'an one-on-one.
The two squads readjusted and clashed again after only a few breaths.
Yan Luo and Qin Jinwen also joined the team's cooperation, but after a short while, they went to the side to play house again.
There's no way around it; if the two of them make a move, the other two teams are out of the game, and it will inevitably turn into a sparring match between the captains.
Chi Miaomiao gave Zhong Jiudao and Xue Yunting a look, and then disappeared from Zhu Qinlan and the others' sight. In the blink of an eye, Zhong Jiudao and Xue Yunting had already attacked them.
Xie Huai'an slammed the Soul-Hooking Lock onto the ground, and a chilling wave of ice immediately swept towards the tenth squad.
As Zhu Qinlan deflected Xue Yunting's spear, she unleashed a sword aura that flew towards Xie Huai'an, attempting to interrupt her freezing cold spell.
Chi Miaomiao's sinister laughter came from behind her.
"Vice Captain Zhu, you still have time to care about others?" Zhu Qinlan got goosebumps and narrowly dodged Chi Miaomiao's fan. The other teammates were also entangled by Zhong Jiudao and Xue Yunting.
With Xie Huai'an's help in bringing cold air, the movements of the tenth squad were repeatedly restricted, but this also greatly exhausted Zhong Jiudao and Xue Yunting's physical strength. Right now, the two of them were dragging the five people, excluding Qin Jinwen and Zhu Qinlan, with their bare hands.
In a simple training sparring session, Fan Qianning did not set up the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation], but instead set up a sixth-order killing formation, [Ksitigarbha's Wrathful Palm].
A huge purple handprint appeared out of thin air above the tenth squad. Xie Huai'an seized the opportunity and unleashed his chilling aura, freezing the tenth squad's feet instantly.
You either break the ice to escape this palm strike, but you'll be attacked by Zhong Jiudao and Xue Yunting while breaking the ice, or you block their attacks while blocking this palm strike.
The plan was perfect, but it was really too difficult for Zhong Jiudao and Xue Yunting. They were both at the eighth level, and it was really not easy for the two of them to hold off five people. Moreover, Xue Yunting was only at the seventh level and had no strength left to support them.
Therefore, only one scenario will occur: the tenth squad breaks through the ice and dodges, rendering Fan Qianning's palm strike useless.
The sixth-order killing formation consumed nearly half of Fan Qianning's energy, who was at the eighth-order level. If this palm strike missed, the team would have no chance of turning the tide.
With minimal energy expenditure, Chi Miaomiao used her incredible speed to stop the six eighth-level members of the tenth squad from breaking through the ice, delaying them for a moment before the purple Buddha's palm in mid-air finally descended.
The six people who didn't have time to break the ice could only withstand the blow. The power of the blow wasn't great for them, but it would still take a toll on them.
After the palm strike, apart from the two captains, the remaining twelve were all panting heavily.
Yan Luo and Qin Jinwen stopped being sarcastic and simply stood aside to watch them fight.
"Xiao Luo, that girl Lai Lai in your team is pretty amazing. She not only knows magic but also formations, and she's already at the eighth rank. How about giving her to me?"
Qin Jinwen put her hand on Yanluo's shoulder, looking like a good sister.
Yan Luo resolutely refused, laughing, "That won't do, Sister Wen. If Ning Ning leaves, An An, her sister, will follow her too. What will become of my Ninth Squad then?"
Qin Jinwen pouted, "You're such a cheapskate, fine, don't give it to me then."
After a period of intense exchange, both teams were exhausted, so Yan Luo and Qin Jinwen stopped their sparring.
That's enough.
Compared to the veteran Tenth Squad, the Ninth Squad now has excellent teamwork, with a strong offense, defense, and control – they have everything they need.
Strength can be compensated for by cooperation, not to mention there is a ninth-tier captain to back them up.
