Chapter 246: The Arena Begins

"Bai Lu, I know you have been working hard, but you must have self-knowledge as a person."

Chen Xiaoxiao warned Bai Lu with the posture of a superior: "Some things are not yours, no matter how hard you try, it's useless, because people's strength has an upper limit; once you reach the limit, no matter how hard you try, it's all in vain."

"Sometimes you have to know how to give up; what can you learn by following a useless piece of trash?"

Bai Lu endured his anger, and even had the urge to fight Chen Xiaoxiao.

It was one thing for this woman to mock him, but now she was even mocking Xu Tian along with him.

After so many days of training, he had long worshiped Xu Tian like an idol and could never tolerate anyone speaking ill of him.

He gritted his teeth and restrained himself, because fighting Chen Xiaoxiao now would disqualify him from participating in the trial; he wanted to defeat her uprightly in the arena.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Just when Bai Lu was enduring his anger, Little Bean Sprout suddenly spoke angrily from the side:

"Our captain's strength is very strong; later he will definitely defeat you in the arena!"

"Hmph, quite a big tone."

Chen Xiaoxiao raised her head proudly: "I also really want to compete with Bai Lu to see if he has made any progress recently."

"It's just a pity that he is self-depraved, actually running to learn some combat technique from a piece of trash; I'm afraid he will be kicked off the arena by my team members before I can challenge him."

After speaking, she snorted lightly, turned and walked to the other side, shaking her head as she walked:

"Standing with people like you is simply bad luck!"

The Dark Guards of the first squad looked at Chen Xiaoxiao's back, their eyes full of haze.

The comprehensive strength of their team was not weak, but when Chen Xiaoxiao was Commander, every time she assigned tasks, she suppressed them as much as possible.

It wasn't until Bai Lu became captain and argued with Chen Xiaoxiao that the situation of the first squad improved a little.

But under Chen Xiaoxiao's influence, other squads still had prejudices against them and didn't recognize their strength at all.

Even if they could complete tasks brilliantly every time, in the eyes of Chen Xiaoxiao and other Dark Guards, it all became luck and good fortune.

Chen Xiaoxiao being removed from her post for dereliction of duty before gave the members of the first squad a sense of pleasure that their great revenge had been avenged, but they didn't expect that even after being removed from her post, this woman's nostrils were still in the sky, and her arrogant face hadn't converged at all.

"Boss, this time you must let these people who look down on others see the true strength of our first squad!"

One of the members looked at Chen Xiaoxiao's back and said indignantly.

"I think that woman is deliberately targeting us; every time our tasks are completed so brilliantly, not only is there no reward, but she doesn't even want to say a word of praise, always nitpicking, and with a straight face all day long; I suspect her menopause came early."

"Actually, I think although Chen Xiaoxiao is the strongest among our Dark Guards, she is too impulsive, and her overall awareness is very poor; she is fine when performing tasks alone, but when fighting as a team, she is really not as good as our boss."

"Boss, you can definitely defeat that arrogant woman this time and win some face for our first squad!"

"I will try my best to defeat her." Bai Lu received the encouraging eyes of his teammates and replied full of fighting spirit.

If it were before, he certainly wouldn't have been sure he could defeat Chen Xiaoxiao.

But ever since training with Xu Tian, he felt his progress speed was very fast.

"Teacher Xu said I have no problem; maybe I really have a chance to defeat Chen Xiaoxiao..."

At the same time, Xu Tian, who was sitting in the spectator seat, was also observing the Dark Guards below.

When he saw Bai Lu, Xu Tian always had some worries.

He wasn't worried about the other party's strength, but he always felt that Bai Lu's state was wrong.

Since the first time he met Bai Lu in the Lighthouse Country, it had been a few months, and Xu Tian always felt that there was a problem with his emotions, like a string pulled tightly, never relaxing.

And his strength was clearly not bad, but he had no confidence in himself.

When Xu Tian was training with Bai Lu, he once tried to enlighten him to let him relax, but the effect was not obvious, and every time he mentioned his own affairs, he always avoided the important and dwelled on the trivial, deliberately changing the subject.

Xu Tian didn't know the reason for Bai Lu's personality, but he knew that the other party must have a knot in his heart that hadn't been opened.

Since he refused to say it now, it should be that he hadn't fully trusted him yet.

At this moment, Xu Tian stared at Bai Lu's expression, and a sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.

After a long while, he sighed lightly.

Hopefully, there won't be any problems with this trial.

However, it might also be that he is worrying unnecessarily.

Although Bai Lu has a knot in his heart, his strength has improved rapidly recently, so a trial of this scale won't cause him unbearable pressure, and naturally, he won't explode with negative emotions.

In short, he was still very optimistic that Bai Lu could be re-elected to the position of Commander.

Immediately after, Gu Beicheng, dressed in formal attire, also walked into the training field, followed by Qiao Mu.

Chen Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she saw Gu Beicheng, and she immediately raised a smiling face and walked over.

"Gu Xiansheng, are you here to watch me fight in the arena?"

"Hmm."

Gu Beicheng nodded, looking at Chen Xiaoxiao with gentle eyes: "I'm here to watch the battle, and by the way, cheer for you all."

"Gu Xiansheng, you are so busy and still able to find time to watch our trial!"

Chen Xiaoxiao was very moved: "But actually, the result this time is no different from the past, there won't be any changes."

Gu Beicheng didn't say anything more, but turned and patted Qiao Mu on the shoulder, then walked toward the spectator seat leisurely.

"Commander Chen, defeating that kid Bai Lu, I can do it for you, you don't need to go on stage."

Qiao Mu raised his eyebrows at Chen Xiaoxiao, revealing a meaningful smile.

Chen Xiaoxiao didn't take the other party's words to heart, just nodded slightly at him, and then returned to the team.

"Now I announce that this year's Tang family Dark Guard trial officially begins!"

A Wei read the rules of the trial as usual.

"All those who have obtained the Tang family Dark Guard qualification can participate in the trial competition to compete for the position of squad captain."

"Those who successfully attack the arena or successfully defend the arena have the opportunity to challenge the current Commander Bai Lu; if they can successfully attack the arena again, they can temporarily replace Bai Lu and sit in the Commander's position until no one attacks the arena, the trial ends, and the final winner succeeds to the Commander's position."

"In the arena competition segment, you can use weapons you are good at, but you cannot use hidden weapons and firearms, and you are not allowed to take action before the competition starts."

"Does anyone have any objections to the rules?"

"No!" The Dark Guards below answered loudly.

A Wei looked at the core members of the Tang family on the VIP observation seat upon hearing this.

"Which elder still wants to speak?"

"Start directly." An elder said.

"Then, the arena trial starts now!" ===== CHAPTER 247 =====
