”Are you sure that you don’t want to just challenge one opponent and then spend soht, rather than start another battle right away?” the commander asked with some confusion, but Xue Wei shook his head

”I need so to pressure me, and to do that I would like to face at least a few people I would like to face either four or five experts in a row, or have a fight against three opponents at once”

”Three at once?! No – not an option at all!” The Commander was horrified He was of the opinion that Xue Wei was clearly suicidal to even think about fighting ed his shoulders ”I got a lot of lifesaving abilities and treasures fro all the responsibility on Lan

”I learned quite a few abilities when he was here, and I should be able to hold ainst three Earth Warriors,” he continued to explain, but the commander was impossible to sway

”Okay, since that is iht a few ive up just like that ”I am sure that I will be able to survive”

The co He could sense that Xue Wei was unbending in his request, but at the saot Xue Wei killed, then quite a few people would come after hihed ”I will fight one opponent After that opponent dies, I will take a five minutes break, and then I will say whether or not I aood condition, I will stop; and if I a?”

The coht ”That is not a bad idea!” he exclaimed ”We will do it like that You can enter the arena to; by then the opponents will have been prepared”

Xue Wei nodded his head and cupped his fists Although it was not exactly what he had wanted, it was not a bad solution, and he would be able to test his strength against real opponents in a proper life-and-death battle

Although it had only been Xue Wei and the co the possibility of Xue Wei fighting in a tag fight of opponents, the commander still had to tell the staff in the arena about the things that they had to do, and thus the ruh the entire Genius Ca many
