The entire hall had become very quiet since the beginning, and everyone swallowed their words and began to ponder silently.
The information I received today is astonishing.
First, the reputable Hongmeng team actually did rob a rookie; second, this team of rookies managed to escape unscathed from Hongmeng team's fierce attacks!
The captain was saying that everyone in the cultivation world has some means of self-preservation, but how could an ordinary person possibly escape unscathed from so many high-level cultivators!
Therefore, their inherent thinking has been refreshed again and again. The HarmonyOS team is not of noble character, and the new team is not all softies.
Judging from the green rats a few days ago, these people must have some extraordinary abilities.
They couldn't see what happened to the best team after the attack, but now they are all standing here, while the Hongmeng team is nowhere to be seen.
If they were at their own base, they would have heard the commotion here in Shi Xuan's territory long ago and would certainly have appeared. The reason they haven't appeared yet is...
It's terrifying to think about. It can't be what they imagine, can it? That would be too unbelievable.
Most people have kept this idea to themselves, remaining in a state of doubt. It's not a good time to express an opinion now, because they have a feeling they might be proven wrong at any moment.
After Shi Xuan finished releasing the recording stone, he looked at the female cultivator in front of him and asked, "Can I go and turn in the mission now?"
The female cultivator was speechless, wanting to say something but feeling too embarrassed to do so.
A teammate next to her tugged at her sleeve and said, "Deng Pin, move aside."
The female cultivator named Deng Pin then seemed to wake from a dream and moved to the side. She didn't want to believe that those people were members of the Hongmeng Team, and that the recording stone that Shi Xuan had taken out must be fake! But she had no evidence and couldn't clear the name of the Hongmeng Team.
She called out to Shi Xuan as she watched her retreating figure from behind, "Don't be so smug. We'll settle things once the Hongmeng team returns!"
Shi Xuan stopped and looked back at her, moved by her unwavering determination. He said with concern, "I can refine the Intelligence-Boosting Pill." After she finished speaking, she left and handed in the task of collecting the Tranquilizing Flower at the mission site.
Deng Pin hadn't yet realized what it meant.
It wasn't until she heard snickers from the side that she realized Shi Xuan was calling her stupid!
But at this moment, the best team had already boarded their flying swords and headed away towards their sect's headquarters.
Deng Pin stomped her foot, her face full of anger. But she still didn't think she had done anything wrong.
Her junior sister beside her secretly shook her head. It was probably known to everyone in the entire outer realm that Senior Sister Deng Pin was in love with Yan Lingyi. However, it was a case of unrequited love; Yan Lingyi didn't even seem to remember who she was.
The senior sister seemed unaware that goodwill and respect aren't earned through blind support, but rather by standing on equal footing. The strong only see the strong; what she needed now wasn't to constantly defend Yan Lingyi, but to focus on improving herself.
I tried to reason with her many times, but to no avail, so I could only let her be.
The entire best squad returned to their base, suppressing their excitement. They had been feeling down because of the news from the miscellaneous affairs area, but after the incident in the central hall, they were all in high spirits and clamored to immediately go on to the next mission.
"Captain, have you accepted the Wind Wolf quest you mentioned?"
"The captain said there's a training ground there, perfect for our team! By the way, what's this training ground like?"
"Whatever it is, it's suitable for us!"
...
Shi Xuan looked at the team members, who were all in high spirits, and was amused by them.
"The mission has been accepted. We'll depart tomorrow. As for the trial grounds, there's information about them in the miscellaneous affairs area. They're already under the control of the sect alliance. If you want to get in, just pay spirit stones," Shi Xuan said.
"Exchanging spirit stones? I thought it was something serious," Shen Wuyang waved his hand and said loudly, "Everyone go, I'll cover the tickets!"
I'm just so happy today, my mood is so good I have nowhere to vent, I'd take care of a hundred more people even if they came.
The crowd cheered even louder.
"Captain, you're incredibly resourceful! You started setting up the formation as soon as you went in, and you even used the recording stone. Did you already anticipate their arrival?" Zhang Yingxin asked. This aloof female cultivator only seemed much gentler when she was with Shi Xuan.
“No,” Shi Xuan smiled, “but it’s better to be prepared. As the newest team in this outer arena, we don’t need to be timid, but we must be cautious and always ready for an enemy attack.”
"Captain is awesome!" At this moment, Chen Qi no longer harbored any resentment towards Shi Xuan, and was completely convinced of his abilities. Now, he was completely at the point where he would obey Shi Xuan's every whim.
The disciples from the other sects besides Lianfeng Sword Sect sighed inwardly. With her calculating mind and cunning, it was no wonder they couldn't possibly defeat her in the Six Sects Tournament.
The Wind Wolf is a level six demonic beast that moves extremely fast. It is pure white and lives on the floating islands of the northernmost ice plains.
This task involves killing twenty wind wolves and earns two thousand points.
Compared to a level 4 green rat, a little monster worth one point, a wind wolf worth one hundred points is far more valuable.
The main reason is that the Wind Wolves are of a higher level than the Green Rats. They are not only extremely fast, but also have very strong attack power. Moreover, they always appear in groups. If a Golden Core cultivator were to fight against a single Wind Wolf, it would be hard to say who would win or lose, let alone a group of them.
When the best team arrived at the floating island in the ice field, they found that there was already a group of cultivators waiting to hunt the wind wolves on the island.
Shi Xuan unintentionally ran into them and landed on the other side of the floating island with his team.
This floating island over the ice field covers a large area and is elliptical in shape. One team was on the east side, so they landed on the west side, which was furthest from them.
Anyway, the location of the wind wolves is random, one wolf per team, so they don't affect each other.
Once a suitable location was found, Shi Xuan began making arrangements.
"Chen Qi, Sun Shaoxing, you two take ten people to set up the beast-trapping formation. The rest of you should spread out around to keep watch and be careful of monster attacks."
The wind wolf is too fast and has high attack power. If you rush up to fight it directly, it will be time-consuming and laborious. Using a formation to deal with it is the most suitable.
Chen Qi and Sun Shaoxing, the two array masters, nodded in agreement and selected a few people to assist them as they began to set up the Beast Trapping Array on the spot.
However, the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease. The best team had barely settled down when another team, which should have been hunting wind wolves, came looking for them.
"There should be a first-come, first-served order in everything. We've already taken over this place. Are you trying to take over our territory?" The leader was a male cultivator with a fierce face, his face full of fat, making him look extremely frightening.
Shi Xuan cupped his hands in greeting and asked, "How shall I address you, sir?"
The fierce-looking man glared and said, "Ten Continents, Blazing Fire Sect, Crimson Flame Team, Ji Lie!"
