Chapter 618 -632 Fight, Fight, Fight
“Do you know what the meaning of life is?” Before the battle began, Mu Can held a brief meeting with Ye Feng and Da Zhuang, with Wang Cai fortunate enough to be present, lying nearby and eavesdropping.
“The meaning of life is to become stronger!” Ye Feng’s gaze was resolute; becoming stronger was his ultimate goal.
“The meaning of life is to have an endless supply of delicious food.” Da Zhuang said naively; his reason for participating in the Glory Trial was simple – to ensure his race could have enough to eat in the future.
“The meaning of life is to snatch all the treasures.” Wang Cai chimed in from the side.
“You’re all wrong,” said Mu Can, looking at the two men and one dog.
“The meaning of life lies in constantly challenging oneself, in never-ending battles, and what’s more important, you must win amidst these battles.”
After Mu Can finished speaking, he clenched his fist vigorously. Why was he here? Because he needed to become stronger, to defeat one enemy after another, to take the Supreme Interface to a safe place, and to figure out a way to awaken Qingyi, who lay in his own small world. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
“You’re right, we must defeat the opponent.” Mu Can’s pre-battle pep talk was quite successful. Now, as they turned their heads to look at the scar-faced Commander, their eyes were filled with a different kind of resolve, permeated with the will to fight.
The battle began just like that, the three of them and one dog against the Commander of the Vanguard Camp. It drew countless spectators; many soldiers from the other camps rushed over upon hearing that someone was challenging the scar-faced Commander.
This was big news. The strength of the scar-faced man was second only to the General’s, and he once had the opportunity to become a General himself but declined, choosing instead to be a Commander in the Vanguard Camp.
No one underestimated the scar-faced man’s strength, and no one dared to.
The Vanguard Camp had withstood countless tough battles and still stood firm, all thanks to the scar-faced Commander’s capabilities.
Before every battle, the scar-faced Commander would repeat his classic phrase.
“Congratulations to you all. If you do not die tomorrow, you can go to another camp to get promoted and make a fortune.”
And indeed, it was true. From this Vanguard Camp, countless promising young officers emerged, all forged through death-defying battles.
Now, someone dared to challenge the scar-faced man, and many thought it was a death wish.
“Please!” Mu Can, confident, stood upfront, making a welcoming gesture to the scar-faced Commander, and then the three of them made the same gesture in unison, each pulling out several Elixirs from their chest pocket and swallowing them all.
“Naive.” Do you really think that just by taking Elixirs, you can contend with me? The suppression of two levels above cannot simply be compensated for by Elixirs.
Sadly, it was only after the scar-faced Commander truly stepped forward that he realized he was wrong.
No sooner had he taken the stage than Wang Cai, who was hiding in the back, activated the Big Formation. Streams of Spiritual Power surged from beneath the ground, directly pressing down on the scar-faced man, causing him to feel an immense pressure and even making his breathing become more labored. Looking at Mu Can and the others, they seemed like fish that had found water, the Spiritual Power not only did not cause them any harm but even boosted their power somewhat.
This is the First Layer Array set up by Wang Cai. Within this Array, the friendly forces selected by Wang Cai will receive an amplification of Spiritual Power from heaven and earth, while those not chosen by Wang Cai will face suppression.
Don’t underestimate this Array. With such diminishing and augmenting effects, the amplification is not to be taken lightly.
“Hehe, go.” As expected, it was effective. Mu Can had anticipated this.
He was gambling that the scar-faced Commander, in his arrogance and underestimation, would allow Wang Cai to set up the Array. If that were permitted, then the contest would already be half won.
According to Wang Cai’s Array expertise, it could at least make up for a large gap in strength between the Commander and them.
This is why Array Masters are immensely popular in the military. In ambush battles or even siege warfare, the difference between having an Array Master and not is like night and day.
As long as an Array Master is given enough time to prepare, even those with much higher strength can be easily ambushed.
The self-confident scar-faced Commander felt a chill in his heart as soon as he sensed the Array. He indeed underestimated it, paying too little heed to Wang Cai’s ability to set up Arrays. To create an Array that could suppress him to this extent would be impossible even if all the Array Masters in the entire camp came together.
Unfortunately, now that it had come to this, he could only grit his teeth and continue the fight.
Da Zhuang looked at Mu Can and the others, giving them a thumbs-up before letting out a sky-shattering roar and rushing towards the scar-faced Commander. As for Ye Feng, he showed a trace of a smile before slowly disappearing from sight.
“Hmph, an assassin?” How could the scar-faced Commander, a seasoned warrior who has seen countless battles as the leader of the Vanguard Camp, be frightened by this little scene? After his initial surprise, he quickly regained his composure, knowing that the more tense he became at such times, the more likely he was to lose.
Although this was not a fight to the death, every battle must be won.
Da Zhuang charged forward, but missed the chance to catch the scar-faced Commander off guard. In less than a second, the Commander had taken out his weapon and charged at Da Zhuang, while Ye Feng, lurking in the shadows, was not yet his main concern.
Weapon clashed against weapon with a thunderous crash. Da Zhuang rubbed his wrist. Even with the double enhancement of the Array and the Elixir, he still could not shake the scar-faced Commander’s strength head-on. The differences in martial strength and combat experience were not something that could be made up for.
Da Zhuang clenched his teeth and charged at the scar-faced Commander once more, equally determined to fight to the death.
The shock inside the scar-faced Commander was indescribable. He never thought that with the aid of an Array and Elixir, someone two levels lower than himself could withstand his attacks. This was completely beyond his expectations.
Unfortunately, the weapon swung by Da Zhuang didn’t give him much time to think. The two of them were locked in combat, going head-to-head.
Although Da Zhuang was being suppressed, he wasn’t too worried in his heart because he wasn’t fighting alone.
Luckily, Ye Feng did not make him wait long. The dagger, shining with a cold light, struck at the best moment, when the scar-faced Commander’s old strength had faded and new strength had not yet formed, aiming straight for his body. Despite its ferocity, it skillfully avoided vital points.
After all, if they were to accidentally kill their own commanding officer during a sparring session, how could they continue to stay here?
