Chapter 1896: The Strongest Squad

"I'm fine; I've run into a lot of bad guys and killed them all! I was also tricked once, but they never hit me."

"I ate all the pills; I didn't keep even one."

"Long Nv began to slowly recount the story to Ye Liuyun."

"Zhao Ming Cheng helped Ye Liuyun clean the battlefield, handed over Ye Liuyun's share of resources to him, and then started to size up Long Nv."

"Long Nv also looked at Zhao Ming Cheng and asked Ye Liuyun directly, 'Is she the new woman you found?'"

"'No, she's my partner!'"

"Ye Liuyun introduced the two of them to each other, then gave all the yuan dan he had just collected to Long Nv."

"Long Nv simply grabbed a handful and tossed it into her mouth, leaving Zhao Ming Cheng staring dumbfounded."

"Ye Liuyun eats two or three pills a day; she thought that was already enough."

"However, the little girl before him grabbed handful after handful and wasn't afraid the pills would make her explode."

"Seeing Ye Liuyun and Long Nv both act as if it's perfectly reasonable, she didn't feel comfortable asking."

"She just sat aside and listened to them talk about the experiences of the past few days."

"Although Long Nv appeared somewhat cold, beside Ye Liuyun she seemed like a calm little woman."

"But Zhao Ming Cheng, listening to her recount, realized that Long Nv, like Ye Liuyun, is ruthless."

"She once chased the Martial Cultivator who deceived her for three days, only stopping after she tore him apart with her own hands."

"Moreover, anyone who engages her is left with no survivors, and she often rips people apart with her bare hands."

"She then looked at Ye Liuyun, her face full of tenderness, caring as she gazed at Long Nv; unlike the fierce, ruthless demeanor in the recent battle, you could not tell they were the same person."

"Ye Liuyun then gave Long Nv roasted meat until she was full, and she curled up in his arms, falling into a deep sleep; only then did he carry her to a quiet spot so she could sleep soundly through the night."

"Ye Liuyun, however, didn't sleep the whole night, staying on guard, and even when Zhao Ming Cheng offered to replace him, he couldn't trust it."

"Is she your woman?"

"Zhao Ming Cheng asked doubtfully."

"Long Nv, however, cannot discern any romantic affection."

"No, she's my family!"

"Ye Liuyun smiled and didn't give her a lengthy explanation."

"Truly enviable!"

"Zhao Ming Cheng looked at the still-sleeping Long Nv and sincerely remarked."

"After dawn, Long Nv finally woke up."

"She probably hadn't had a peaceful sleep in a long time."

"After waking, she immediately sought Ye Liuyun; upon seeing him, she felt at ease."

"Then she insisted that Ye Liuyun also take a nap while she kept watch."

"Ye Liuyun also fully relaxed and slept, sprawled out, occasionally snoring."

"I've been with him for so long, and I've never seen him sleep so peacefully!"

"Zhao Ming Cheng sighed."

"That's trust, I guess!"

"Long Nv smiled and replied."

"Zhao Ming Cheng also seemed to understand and nodded."

"He understood that they must be the kind of close confidants who could risk their lives for each other."

"From then on, Ye Liuyun and Long Nv were relaxed and happy every day."

"It didn't take long before they found Lei Ming and Ye Tiandao."

"Lei Ming also snatched a man's clothes and put them on."

"Only Ye Tiandao wore a beast hide."

"When Ye Liuyun asked her, she said she couldn't wear other men's clothes, fearing the master would be displeased and reject her."

"When Lei Ming saw Ye Liuyun, he also vented a lot, then clung to Ye Liuyun every day, and Ye Liuyun let him be as he pleased."

"Lei Ming ate pills just like Long Nv, leaving none, swallowing a handful at a time."

"Ye Tiandao, however, had many left; like Ye Liuyun, she ate two or three pills a day and could never finish them."

"The few of them together were always especially warm, but in battle they struck without mercy."

"Moreover, without Ye Liuyun's special orders, they would do whatever was required, executing it resolutely and never worrying about it."

"Such mutual trust and understanding certainly cannot be cultivated in just a year or two."

"Zhao Ming Cheng watched every day, filled with envy."

"Of course, Ye Liuyun and the others didn't distance themselves from her."

"Lei Ming also told her many stories about Ye Liuyun, but without revealing his identity."

"Their team became the strongest squad in the area; whenever they acted, no opponent escaped total annihilation."

"In the end, they even split into two groups to attack different squads."

"After about half a month of further training, they left this place and pressed on."

"The Martial Cultivators ahead were all lone wolves; Ye Liuyun, using his Golden Pupil, located the opponents and then took turns striking with the others."

"These people's strength was indeed not to be underestimated, and many had unintentionally discovered the secret of the pills, elevating their Physical Body."

"Thus fighting these people was even more enjoyable."

"Ye Liuyun and the others no longer killed everyone; for Martial Cultivators with decent character, they would leave a way out."

"But for those Martial Cultivators they found unsavory or of bad conduct, they remained utterly ruthless."

"Finally, they arrived at Zhan Tai and discovered that the Martial Cultivators here were all formidable, far stronger than those they first encountered."

No wonder you only need three straight wins in this Secret Realm to get out.

But wanting to win three matches in a row is itself no small challenge.

Ye Liuyun and the others are fine, but Zhao Ming Cheng finds it somewhat strenuous.

Ye Liuyun and the others specially accompanied Zhao Ming Cheng out for another half month of training to look after her, and also made her a vine shield wrapped in ferocious beast hide to make it more resistant to blows, before returning to the arena again.

"You go first and challenge."

"Wait until you win, then we'll go!"

Ye Liuyun was also worried Zhao Ming Cheng might not pass, so he specially let her go first to challenge.

Zhao Ming Cheng was even more grateful to Ye Liuyun.

Given this situation, without Ye Liuyun, let alone a few years, she'd probably be trapped here for ten years and still not get out.

During those ten years, not to mention sleeping and eating would be dangerous, even the chance of losing one's virtue or life is high.

Zhao Ming Cheng exerted great effort, suffered many injuries, and finally managed to persist through three consecutive wins.

Afterward, she didn't leave immediately, but instead spent time taking medicinal pills to recover while waiting for Ye Liuyun and the others to finish their challenges.

Ye Tiandao, Long Nv, and Lei Ming each completed the challenge in turn, and the last to go up on stage was Ye Liuyun.

Before Ye Liuyun went on stage, he took a medicinal pill, and after going on stage he easily won three straight victories.

The arena's rules are also special: winning the first match rewards one medicinal pill, the second rewards two, and the third rewards four.

Ye Liuyun wanted to ask the Administrator on stage: "Can I still continue challenging?"

"Of course you can, and after each match you can choose to stop continuing to challenge."

After that, each additional consecutive win will double your reward.

"But if you lose, all your rewards will be wiped out."

The Administrator told Ye Liuyun.

"All right, then I'll continue challenging!"

Ye Liuyun confirmed.

At that moment, the audience also became lively.

Everyone began to speculate how many consecutive wins Ye Liuyun could achieve.

Some even set up a betting pool, using medicinal pills as the stakes.
