Chapter 1102: First Establish the Rules

Ye Liuyun used to fight and train alone before, so his advantage was not particularly outstanding.

Now that he has his own team, he also feels it's time to showcase his abilities.

He didn't rush to form the team; instead, he first began to learn each person's strength and personality traits.

After Feng Yuanhai and Feng Wanxing were assigned, they immediately disbanded the team, sending them back to rest well, replenish their spirits, and prepare for tomorrow's battle.

Both of them were full of confidence, believing they would definitely defeat Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's team had been exhausted all day; seeing others go to rest, they immediately wanted to go back themselves, so they were extremely impatient with Ye Liuyun's inquiries.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun immediately invited Elder Feng Changming over.

"Since the Elder let me lead the team, I need to be granted the corresponding authority," Ye Liuyun demanded of Feng Changming.

"Oh? Didn't I already let you lead the team? What more authority do you want?" Feng Changming asked, somewhat puzzled.

"That's merely a position, not authority. I need the right to decide these disciples' stay or leave! If they perform unsatisfactorily, I have the right to kick them out of the team, revoke their training qualification, and forbid them from entering the Secret Realm. When necessary, I can even kill them outright!"

What Ye Liuyun seeks is genuine deterrence. Otherwise, a mere Team Leader title is just an empty label.

"Fine! I agree!" Feng Changming immediately understood Ye Liuyun's intention.

Ye Liuyun is not familiar with the Feng Clan disciples; without authority that truly threatens their interests, he could never control these ordinarily arrogant disciples.

He not only agreed to Ye Liuyun's request but also announced it publicly.

After that, the team members' attitude toward Ye Liuyun changed instantly; they answered any question without hesitation.

Ye Liuyun then assigned duties to them according to their strength and traits, and began setting rules.

As the saying goes, without rules there is no order.

With so many people, if anyone breaks the rules at a critical moment, it could ruin the overall combat effectiveness.

Then, they continuously trained their formation, practicing repeatedly.

They trained throughout the entire night without letting them rest; only before dawn were they allowed to stop and recover their stamina.

During that time, one disciple complained to Ye Liuyun, and another trained perfunctorily; Ye Liuyun immediately threw them out of the training ground and revoked their training qualification.

After that, the others dared not complain any more and practiced earnestly.

These rules and Formation that Ye Liuyun used were learned entirely from Qin Peng.

If there were any unclear aspects, such as coordination between soldiers, he would immediately consult Qin Peng.

Although the time was short, it was far stronger than having no training at all.

While everyone was resting, Ye Liuyun also explained to them, hoping that some sensible people would understand and cooperate with him.

"Since we began intensive training, someone has died every day. Today, we will venture deep into the Secret Realm to face stronger monsters; more may die."

He paused, then continued: "After a night of practice, I believe you can feel that this Formation is far more effective than fighting alone!"

"I don't care about any competition outcome. Whether I win or lose, we will enter the Secret Realm. I only hope that this time more of you can survive!"

After a night of training, although they were still inexperienced, they had already grasped the principles of the Formation.

They could all see that the Formation's effect is far better than individuals slaying monsters.

However, having not rested for a night, they all still held resentment.

Ye Liuyun now calmly explained to them, helping them understand a lot.

Since the start of intensive training, a fellow disciple has died before them every day. Over more than a month of training, over three hundred have already died.

They were all elite selected from Feng Clan disciples.

If more die, by the time we enter the Secret Realm there may be hardly any left.

Therefore, if they wish to enter the Secret Realm, they must first ensure they can survive the training.

Seeing some people already show understanding, Ye Liuyun continued: "To enter the Secret Realm, you must have a chance to live! I know you want to return to cultivate and increase strength, but spending one night to gain a greater chance of survival is far more important than that slight boost in power!"

After speaking, Ye Liuyun fell silent, sitting aside and resting quietly.

In fact, his Divine Sense was still monitoring their attitudes.

"Yeah! I think Brother Ye said it well! Even if we cultivate for a night, we won't gain much strength. But if this Formation can increase our chance of survival, it's far more worthwhile than cultivation!" m.

Feng Xiaoxiao began to speak up for Ye Liuyun.

"Not bad! I think that Formation will definitely work!" Those who saw the Formation's advantage voiced their thoughts.

Gradually, the dissatisfaction toward Ye Liuyun dissipated through the discussion.

More and more people expressed support for Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun was quite satisfied with this result.

He didn't expect everyone to understand him; as long as some lead, the others would gradually be influenced.

Now, as long as the training can continue, that's enough.

When the battle comes, those who didn't understand will see the Formation's power and naturally change their minds.

After they rested for a while, Ye Liuyun resumed training, and the effect improved greatly.

At least they could now unleash about seventy to eighty percent of the Formation's power.

Ye Liuyun didn't let them train all the way until the day's intensive training began; instead, he let them remember this session's effect and then disbanded the team.

"Anyone who wants barbecue, come report to me!" He used the break to find ways to bond with them.

The others saw there wasn't enough time to go back and rest, so they simply stayed and all rushed over to grab some food.

"Brother Ye's barbecue is absolutely superb; after you eat it, you'll rave about it nonstop!" Feng Xiaoxiao also promoted Ye Liuyun's barbecue.

Thus everyone sat together, eating and chatting, deepening their camaraderie considerably.

After dawn, Feng Yuanhai, Feng Wanxing and others arrived at the training ground, learned that they had spent the night practicing the formation, and couldn't help but mock them.

"Let's see who ends up with the most deaths!" Feng Xiaoxiao and the others retorted first.

Their teasing instead made Ye Liuyun's team even more united.

"Just form a formation and we won't die? How ridiculous!"
