Chapter 2394: Group Selection

Ye Liuyun also had no choice; he alone couldn't form a team, and the traceless one definitely wouldn't let him participate.

Just as Ye Liuyun was worrying, suddenly four members arrived at the training base.

Although these people were all dressed in black with covered faces, Ye Liuyun still recognized one of them at a glance—it was You Ming, whom he had saved before.

After they entered, they sat down together.

You Ming seemed not to have recognized Ye Liuyun; she glanced over at them and then looked away.

Ye Liuyun originally wanted to greet her.

He was still thinking about those blue and red crystal stones.

But seeing You Ming ignore him, he also felt embarrassed to go over and talk.

"After all, it was just a trade! It seems if I want to get information from her later, I'll have to wait until she needs the Life Spring Water again!"

Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

In this organization full of assassins, there really wasn't any camaraderie to speak of.

Anyone might receive a mission to assassinate the other party any day.

"You Ming, don't worry, we'll soon find another qualified teammate!"

A man beside You Ming eagerly spoke to her.

You Ming didn't respond, and the other two also seemed not to care much about that man, so they started chatting separately.

"I recently got a Defense Artifact; I'll give it to you—your Defense Artifact isn't already useless, is it?!"

The man said, then produced a defense light sphere and handed it to You Ming.

"Thanks!"

You Ming wasn't polite either; she took it, immediately refined it, and then stored it in her Storage Ring.

After finishing the Pure Essence Brew in his hand, Ye Liuyun greeted those two and then went back to cultivate.

Just as he left, You Ming walked over and asked the two members: "Excuse me, is there group training today?"

"Yes! Six groups are currently training!"

One member replied.

"Then why aren't you participating?"

"Is it because you don't have enough people?"

You Ming asked again.

"Hehe, we're just too weak; nobody wants us!"

Another member replied embarrassedly.

You Ming, however, didn't mind and continued asking: "Then will there be group training tomorrow?"

"Probably; there are still plenty of people without a stable team."

That member replied.

Black Kill's group training also ultimately aims to form fixed assassination squads so they can undertake more difficult missions.

Often, once a squad member is fixed, they go out to carry out squad missions, testing themselves in actual combat.

If a fixed squad suffers casualties, it will also return to replenish its members.

"Oh, thanks!"

You Ming gave a thanks and then sat back down.

"We really came at the right time—we can pick the strongest member for our team!"

The man who had been fawning over You Ming then struck up a conversation with her again.

You Ming, however, was lost in thought and had no mind to pay him attention.

They sat for a while, drank some Pure Essence Brew, and then each returned to their own lodgings to cultivate.

After gathering the next day, everyone began forming groups again.

Actually, this grouping is also a process for everyone to get acquainted.

After a night's thought, Ye Liuyun had figured it out; he planned to create some trouble to show his strength.

Otherwise, unless the numbers happen to be exact, even if only one person remains, that person will be him.

He had already chosen his target: a member named Kuang Sha.

This person is tall and strong, with formidable strength, capable of taking on multiple opponents alone; in a squad he can serve to draw enemy attention, and is quite popular.

But what he didn't expect was that, as soon as the grouping began, nobody had moved yet, and You Ming directly approached Ye Liuyun.

"Want to be on my team?"

You Ming asked Ye Liuyun.

"Did you recognize me?"

Ye Liuyun countered.

"Of course! How could I forget my lifesaver? You also recognized me right away, didn't you!"

You Ming laughed.

"I don't want you to pity me!"

Ye Liuyun said.

"I won't let myself get killed out of pity for others."

You Ming also said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun then agreed, smiling and saying: "Alright then! But don't even think about asking me for that water!"

"Okay, I'll keep it secret!"

You Ming also said with a smile.

You Ming," at that moment, the fawning man beside You Ming walked over and said, "How could you choose someone with such a low realm, a good-for-nothing?"

How are you speaking?

Ye Liuyun stared at that man and asked.

You Ming also said, "What does my choice have to do with you?"

That man glanced contemptuously at Ye Liuyun: "You haven't even reached Celestial Being First Tier; if you're not trash, what are you?"

Ye Liuyun and You Ming hadn't even gotten a chance to speak when Kuang Sha said discontentedly, "Does a low realm make someone trash?"

Weren't you born a Celestial Being First Tier?

Group member selection is voluntary; if you want to cooperate, cooperate; if not, step aside. What right do you have to criticize others?

Not bad, a low realm is only temporary; there's no need to directly attack others like that!

Black Eagle also chimed in from the side.

He is somewhat acquainted with Ye Liuyun.

Although Ye Liuyun's realm is low, he thinks Ye Liuyun is a decent person, so he spoke up for Ye Liuyun.

I'm in the same group as You Ming; I can certainly voice my opinion on whom she chooses!

That man realized he was in the wrong, immediately stopped targeting Ye Liuyun, and shifted the topic.

We used to be in the same group, but not anymore!

You Ming, however, said coldly.

You Ming, what do you mean by that?

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw clearly; that man's expression changed instantly.

My meaning is that we're not suited to be in the same group.

You Ming said directly.

Explain clearly, why aren't we suited to be in the same group?

That man, unwilling to accept it, pressed further.

Before You Ming could speak, another member of their group said, "Some people are too selfish; we all feel that our group should split up!"

Another member put it more bluntly: "If it weren't for your selfishness, Old Ma wouldn't have died! How dare you ask why?"

Don't you know the reason yourself?

The others immediately understood: this man harmed his fellow group members due to his selfishness.

People like him, no matter how strong, nobody wants to be in the same group as him.

Hah, not surprising! Listening to you speak tells us exactly what kind of person you are!

Kuang Sha took the opportunity to mock him again.

You…" the man's face turned ashen; he swept his gaze over the former group members, then finally fixed it on Kuang Sha.

Kuang Sha, however, said indifferently, "Leng Jian, if you're not convinced, you can try fighting me; others fear you, but I, Kuang Sha, am not afraid of you!"

Leng Jian thought for a moment, but still did not act.

But he still found an excuse for himself: "Fighting someone like you, a crude person, would dirty my sword!"

Pfft!

Ye Liuyun let out a snort of laughter.

He could clearly see Leng Jian's expression, and involuntarily shook his head in resignation, thinking this was someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong, who shifts with the wind.

Leng Jian, meanwhile, immediately turned his gaze back to Ye Liuyun.

He had nowhere to vent his anger; seeing Ye Liuyun, a good-for-nothing with a lower realm than his, dare to snort at him, he couldn't hold back and was about to strike.
