Chapter 1303: Chapter 122: The Decision to Win_4
Xuan Yue frowned and said, "Brother Moon Scar, do you not trust us? How about this, we’ll still bring out five hundred people for the group battle, Ah Dai and I will be among them, we will go up first, and if we can’t beat the opponents, then you guys come up. This should be okay, right?" Her voice faintly revealed anger as she firmly stared at Moon Scar.
Moon Scar, seeing Xuan Yue’s determined eyes, involuntarily shrank back and said, "Alright then. We’ll do as you suggest. But you must be careful during the group battle! If there’s danger, I will immediately bring people up to save you. You mustn’t have any mishaps."
Xuan Yue looked at Ah Dai with full confidence and said, "We will. Talking now is pointless, you’ll understand tomorrow why I am so confident."
Moon Scar nodded and said, "If that’s the case, then sister, you don’t participate in tomorrow’s group battle. I will take four hundred and ninety-seven brothers to cheer for Ah Dai and Brother Xuan Re. If the group battle is lost, we’ll decide the order of the single combats based on the situation. Whether our Moon Scar Mercenary Corps is a dragon or a worm will be seen tomorrow. It’s getting late, sister, go call Miao Fei and Wan Li, let’s welcome Ah Dai and the others."
Although Ah Dai and others had joined, Moon Scar still had his doubts. He had heard that the Overlord Mercenary Corps was extremely tough, but even after two days of gathering information, he was still not sure about the opponent’s strength. Nevertheless, he had to force a smile, as he had invested countless efforts in the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps and did not want it to fail just as it was getting on the right track.
When Miao Fei and Wan Li met Ah Dai again, they were naturally very affectionate. The dinner was enjoyed in a cheerful atmosphere and lasted for two full hours. After dinner, Moon Scar arranged accommodations for Ah Dai and the others, and after instructing them to rest well, he continued to be busy with preparations for tomorrow. They needed to pick the members for tomorrow’s group battle tonight and make all preparations. For Moon Scar and the others, it was going to be a busy night.
As night fell, Ah Dai leaned on his bed and stared out into the dark night in a daze. Xuan Yue and Ah Dai shared a room, and she watched him lost in thought with constant surges in her heart. Why is loving someone so painful, Ah Dai! Do you know how deep my feelings for you are? With a soft sigh, Xuan Yue lay flat on the bed by the window, looked up at the ceiling, and faintly said, "Big brother, do you have confidence in tomorrow’s group battle?"
Ah Dai, startled, came out of his daze and shook his head, saying, "Don’t know enough about the opponents, hard to say. If the Overlord Mercenary Corps’ strength is similar to the Skeleton Mercenary Corps, it will be hard for us to win unless we conduct a large-scale slaughter, but that is something I don’t want to see. Every person I kill adds a bit more viciousness to my heart! Every creature has the right to live, how can I bear to deprive them?"
Xuan Yue said, "Big brother, do you know? Actually, you are a very cowardly person." She was quite aware that without stinging Ah Dai a little, he wouldn’t step out of the shadow of failure.
Ah Dai shuddered, lowered his head, and said somewhat distraughtly, "Brother, is that how you see me? Must killing prove my strength? If so, I’d rather not."
Xuan Yue responded, "No, being strong doesn’t necessarily involve killing people. What I mean by your cowardice isn’t about that. After coming out from the Yajin Tribe, do you not know how decadent you have been? You have never truly faced your own strength. I dare say, with your current level, even compared to the Sword Saint, you are not inferior. But what about you? After experiencing one setback you became decadent; isn’t that cowardice? If the Sword Saint saw you like this, he would be so disappointed. What you lack is an unyielding might, an essence of ’I shall uphold my path despite millions opposing.’ You once said that you had the title of Grim Reaper in the Sunset Empire. At that time, your strength was far less than now, yet you could make all the nobles of the Sunset Empire fear you. Winning a battle without fighting is the highest realm of martial arts. Your spiritual power has been stagnant since leaving Mimu City, not having breakthroughs is certainly related to your infrequent meditation, but your poor spiritual state is also a key reason. Dominance is what you need, do you understand?"
Ah Dai, distracted by Xuan Yue’s words, said, "Dominance, dominance, huh?"
Xuan Yue became a bit excited, "Exactly, dominance. In tomorrow’s group battle, I won’t help you. At most, I’ll cast a few support magics from behind, but you must face everything by yourself. Let me see how strong you really are without killing. It’s simple, I expect you, without using the Sword of Hades, Dragon’s Blood, or the Wish of Goris, to make all five hundred of your opponents unable to resist, and there must not be a single death. Also, it must be done within half an hour; with your strength, it’s absolutely achievable. Facing the enemy, you should move forward without hesitation. Big brother, this is my expectation of you, as well as the expectation of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang. You are the Savior mentioned by Prophet Pu Lin, to save humanity from disaster, the first thing you must do is raise your strength to be the strongest on the continent. Only then can you respond effectively to all changes, facing all challenges. Tomorrow is a great opportunity to elevate your will, I hope you seize it. Alright, I will meditate now; you think about it yourself. Tomorrow on the battlefield, I hope to see a brand new Brother Ah Dai." After saying so, she closed her eyes with an agitated heart, leveraging the Divine Energy to calm her emotions, gradually entering a meditative state. All that she wanted to say had been said, the outcome would now depend on Ah Dai himself.
