Chapter 418: Teamwork (1/2)

After the Chi Branch member and his brothers vacated the courtyard, they did not hurry to leave the courtyard area. Instead, they went to the courtyard next to the one they just vacated and called out a challenge to the residents within.

Most people in the courtyards were equal in strength. At least the ones from the fifth courtyard and beneath had no particular advantage against one another, and they did not care for what number their courtyard was. All that mattered to them was whether or not they were capable of staying in this area.

It was only the top five that cared about their reputation and who would fight for the sake of taking over each other's numbers. So while it would be a challenging fight against the ones in courtyard number eight, it was not impossible for the Chi Branch member and his friends to win the battle.

Xue Wei looked at them and considered going to watch their battle. He needed to see how skilled the men in the army were. Their combat ability had to be better than the sheltered Vermilion Birds he had taken with him to the Ascended's Realm.

After thinking it through, he left Luoluo and Lin Xiao at the courtyard to make it clean, and then he took Bai Tianyi, Hei Gou, and Lan with him towards the challenge stage.

Here, the battle soon began. The Chi Branch clan member was clearly the backbone of the team, and he was capable of providing both assistance and direct attacks. He was throwing out one order after another, and his brothers followed his words without the slightest hesitation.

It was clear that they were soldiers, their approach to battle was very different from what Xue Wei was used to, and upon looking at them, he understood that they had teamwork.

Teamwork. This was something that he lacked with his friends in fighting situations. While they fought back to back, they did not fight together as a team. Instead, they fought as individuals that sometimes assisted one another.

If they could fight as a team, how much better would their combat ability become? From looking at the performance of this Chi branch member, it would be quite beneficial for them to fight together.

It was not only Xue Wei who was deep in thought, Bai Tianyi and Hei Gou were both thinking deeply as well. Only Lan was casual and not paying attention to anything else than the frenzy on the platform.

In the Vermilion Bird Army, it was not allowed to kill or cripple one another, but it was fine if the person was severely injured, as long as their foundation was not harmed.

This meant that many ended up beaten so badly that even their mothers could not recognize them, and especially so in a battle like this, where the people who fought were equal in strength. It was obvious that it would be a desperate battle.

Xue Wei was observing everything in great detail. Although he understood that it would be hard, he wanted to try and see if he could fight as a team with his friends as well. If they did, their potential would be much more frightening than it was now.
