Li Yao was somewhat hesitant.
His original plan had been to join a top-tier team ranked in the top 30 of the Rank of Stars. Team Blue Bronze's ranking was too low.
But Ding Ling Dong was in Team Blue Bronze. He was eager to fight side by side with Ding Ling Dong, too.
Ding Ling Dong saw through his concerns. She stepped forward and said,
"Team Blue Bronze is now ranked in the 70th percentile, but it doesn't mean that we are second-rate.
"You must've studied the files of Team Blue Bronze. You know that three months ago, Team Blue Bronze was still a super team ranked in the top 5 of the Rank of Stars. It was only because of the unexpected death of 'Yin Qingfeng', the former captain, and 'Gao Peng', that the comprehensive capability of Team Blue Bronze plummeted.
"However, the remaining four members are all very capable. They've been training in the Occult Orbs for years and are very experienced.
"If the two of us join the team, we will definitely be able to return to the top 10 of the Rank of Stars very soon!"
Ding Ling Dong's words made Li Yao's heart palpitate. Return to the top 10 of the Rank of Stars? It did sound very much to his liking.
Hong Tong smiled and said,
"Mr. Li Yao, why don't you take your time to think about it? Joining a team is not only about fate, but also about whether or not your combat style is compatible with the team.
"If you don't think it's a good choice, there's no need to force yourself. Although Ding Ling Dong is a member of Team Blue Bronze, in Occult Orbs Fellowship, not just couples, it's perfectly normal for couples, even couples, brothers, and fathers to belong to different teams.
"There are pros and cons when family members, lovers, and couples are in the same team. The pros are that you can read each other's minds and understand each other well. The cons are that you may be disturbed by your feelings when you are in danger. I'm afraid that you may not be able to make the most correct decision.
"Therefore, you don't need to worry about anything. Take your time.
"Even if you want to join Team Blue Bronze, you will need to test your strength first. It's not that I don't believe in your abilities. I just want to make sure that your capability is necessary for Team Blue Bronze.
"However, while you are considering, you can feel the capability of Team Blue Bronze in person!"
While talking, Hong Tong stepped forward softly.
It was a step as light as a feather, but in Li Yao's perception, it was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him. His body suddenly felt ten times heavier. It was like sinking into cement that was slowly hardening!
"The technique that I'm best at is controlling gravity. By burning my soul to the maximum, I can put the enemy in thirty times the gravity and suppress them like an invisible mountain!
"Therefore, many people in Occult Orbs Fellowship call me 'Mountain Monster'.
Hong Tong cackled. He suddenly turned into a streak of grey brilliance and circled around Li Yao almost a hundred times in the blink of an eye.
His speed was so fast that it was a stark contrast to his nearly two-meter-tall body.
"Since I can increase the gravitational force around the enemy in an instant, I can also increase the gravitational force around the enemy. It can also reduce the gravitational force around you to one-tenth of the standard gravitational force. Naturally, you can run extremely fast! "
"And. Most of the enemy's attacks will be affected by gravity. As long as I control the gravity within dozens of square meters precisely, even if I can't completely suppress the enemy's attacks, I can at least interfere with the enemy's attack by changing the gravity so that the enemy's flying swords, venom, thorns, fog, and even blast will be ineffective!
"Therefore, in the team. I'm mainly responsible for defense! "
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when 'Swallow' Yan Yangtian blinked to Li Yao. She chuckled and said, "I'm a scout.
"I'm a scout in the squad. I'm proficient in Light Body, Wind Manipulation, and Stealth."
While she was talking … She blinked mysteriously. Her body suddenly turned transparent and vanished into thin air like an ice cube that had been thrown into hot water.
Li Yao released his telepathic thoughts, but he couldn't find Yan Yangtian at all.
What a marvelous stealth technique!
Very soon, he heard a burst of laughter next to him.
When he turned around, he found that two identical Ding Ling Dong were laughing at him.
The Ding Ling Dong on the left grimaced. After a while of twisting light and shadow, she gradually turned into the appearance of Li Yao and Hong Tong. Then, she even turned into a demon with long horns on her forehead and purple hair. In the end, she turned back into Yan Yangtian and hid behind Hong Tong with a smile.
"There's nothing much to say about my technique. It's just a gun."
'Shell' Leng Ziming smiled casually. His hands suddenly turned into two blurred shadows as he grabbed two glittering pistols in his hands and shot out more than twenty glamorous spiritual energy bombs at the same time.
What was weird was that after the bullets dispersed in midair like flowers, they took a big turn at the same time and gathered again. They were almost frozen in midair, forming an impenetrable cage.
"Zi Zi!"
After a soft noise, the rune arrays carved on the twenty bullets were activated at the same time. Golden electric arcs dashed crazily among the bullets and interweaved into a net one meter in diameter.
"This is' Golden Cage ', a unique offensive array that I created with bullets as the pivot. According to the reaction of the enemy, there will be thirty-six subsequent changes!"
Leng Ziming whistled, and the twenty bullets darted toward the center of the net. After a boom, almost a hundred golden electric arcs exploded at the same time. The damage was concentrated in the narrow space of one foot in diameter. Li Yao, who was several meters away, did not sense any spiritual waves at all. It was a sign of the excellent manipulation of spiritual energy.
Hong Tong, Yan Yangtian, and Leng Ziming. The capability of the three members of Team Blue Bronze was a great eye-opener for Li Yao.
"What am I supposed to do when the three of you are all so unbelievable?"
'Dummy 'Ba Weiqi grinned. He patted Li Yao's shoulder and said, "Do you want me to show you my medical skills?"
Li Yao did not say anything. He was about to nod, when he suddenly felt a weird wind blowing over.
When he looked around, he noticed that for some unknown reason, he was actually on a desolate and enormous meteor, and his surroundings were an extremely deep sea of stars. This dark and boundless world caused him to seem extremely tiny and lonely!
At this moment, the meteorite was rushing toward a giant star.
The star soon occupied Li Yao's entire vision. The scorching storm was tearing off every inch of his flesh from his bones like a burning iron fence.
"Hoooo!"
From among the stars that covered the sky and covered the earth, a blazing flame stretched out. A claw thousands of times larger than Li Yao opened its fingers. It slammed at him brutally.
Li Yao gritted his teeth, roared, and drew his saber. He jumped.
The meteorite was blown into pieces under his feet. He turned into a streak of gold brightness. Waving the Boiled Blood Wind Slashing Saber, he slashed at the star brutally.
"BOOM!"
The sound was as loud as a bell. Li Yao found that he was still in the training room on the top floor of the luxurious hotel in the depths of Empyreal Star City.
His combat suit was completely soaked in sweat. It was cold and stuck to his body. It was extremely uncomfortable.
The desolation of the meteorite, the infinity of the universe, the violent power of the star, and the almost eternal despair of darkness. They were still deeply imprinted in his mind.
Li Yao took a deep breath. His pounding heart could not calm down.
This was the most advanced illusion attack he had ever encountered.
'Dummy 'Ba Weiqi was also shocked. He exclaimed in a low voice.
"It's impossible. You escaped from the 'Mahavairocana Realm' I created in only 17 seconds? You are a freak... "
Before he could finish his words, he felt something cold in his throat.
Li Yao had appeared in front of him without him noticing. His face was expressionless. Something flashed across his throat between his fingers.
Half of Ba Weiqi's neck was cut open, but not a drop of blood was spilled.
The other four people also looked extremely weird. They were rigid and lifeless. They were like puppets whose strings had been cut off.
The world collapsed instantly like a tower of sand in a storm, or thousands of butterflies dancing. The colors were mottled, intertwined, and solidified again.
Li Yao was still in the training room, but 'dummy' Ba Weiqi was on one of his knees. His face was pale, and he was covering his throat with both hands. Sweat was popping up on his forehead.
Although his neck was intact, there was a hissing sound coming from deep inside his throat. He couldn't have looked more lethargic.
It was a sign that his mental attack had been seen through and he had suffered a severe soul backlash.
This time … Except for Ding Ling Dong, the other four people were truly shocked.
Ba Weiqi was even more astonished. His throat was hoarse. He asked in a hoarse voice,
"How did you know that the training room just now was an illusion that I set up? This is the secret art of 'Double Illusion'. Even many high-level Building Foundation Stage Cultivators would fall for it and take them several minutes to see through it. But you saw through it in less than five seconds. Why? "
Li Yao smiled but didn't reply.
Ba Weiqi was indeed an expert in mental attacks. The illusions he created were the most realistic ones that Li Yao had ever seen.
However, Li Yao had experienced the illusions created by the old monster Ou Yezi, and he often trained himself in Ou Yezi's memory pieces. Therefore, he was keenly aware of the difference between reality and illusion.
How could an illusion created by a Building Foundation Stage Cultivator trap him?
After witnessing the abilities of the four members of Team Blue Bronze, Li Yao was somewhat tempted.
Making up his mind, Li Yao asked straightforwardly, "Captain Hong, I'm willing to join Team Blue Bronze. What kind of tests will I have to go through?"
Hong Tong said,
"First of all, combat ability, which is the foundation. After all, the Occult Orbs are full of dangers. You don't have to have a high combat ability, but you should at least be able to protect yourself.
"Secondly, irreplaceable professional abilities. For example, I'm good at defense, Dummy is good at mental attacks, Shell is good at firearms and remote attacks, and Swallow is good at stealth, camouflage, and reconnaissance.
"We've seen your combat ability just now. Nobody has any objection. Why don't you show us your ability to modify magical equipment and let us know your level?"
Li Yao was about to nod his head when Ding Ling Dong stepped forward. Her nose was almost touching Li Yao's nose. Provocation was beaming out of her eyes as she smiled and said, "Wait a minute.
In the battle just now, Li Yao only won with tricks. But in the Occult Orbs, not every place has the conditions to use tricks. Therefore, I still want to know more about his real capability right now.
"Let's go to the combat room. I'll show you the result of my months of training in the Occult Orbs!"
Li Yao smiled, his black eyes glittering.
"No problem. I'd like to show you what I've become after I've advanced into the Building Foundation Stage, too!"
In the combat room, Li Yao and Ding Ling Dong sat in a corner and looked at each other in silence.
One, two, three … Three fire snakes of different colors rose from Ding Lingdang's back, but they were all equally violent.
In front of Li Yao, on the other hand, was a super heavy hammer weighing 972 kilograms, which boasted the double attack of vibration and thunder.
The air between the two of them was cracking and sparks were bursting out.
The corners of their mouths curled up slightly, and the depths of their eyes emitted a fierce light of eagerness.
"Are they … really a couple?"
