Hearing Exemplary Willow's question, Hua Qiushui smiled and waved her hand, saying, "It's fine. Just wait and see how I avenge you."
"Thank you, Aunty Hua." Exemplary Willow smiled sweetly.
Following which, Hua Qiushui contacted Everlasting War and asked, "Everlasting, what do you think of the Asura Battle Team's strength?"
"What do I think?" Everlasting War was curious about Hua Qiushui's question. "The Asura Battle Team is very strong. A few of its members pose a significant threat to me. As for the team leader, Ye Feng, he is a Refinement Realm expert. However, with our strength, defeating them shouldn't be a problem."
The team competition had a total of five matches. Among them, there were two one-on-one matches, one two-on-two match, and two three-on-three matches. As long as the team could win three of these matches, they would win.
Even if a battle team had an invincible expert, they could, at most, win one match. They could not guarantee victory. Not to mention, the Asura Battle Team's Ye Feng was not invincible. Everlasting War had over a 60% chance of defeating Ye Feng.
"Is there no problem?" Hua Qiushui's expression turned serious. In terms of wager, this was a massive one. Even the Glorious Lions Battle Team would feel the pinch. Only a fool would bet so much on such a bet. Either the Glorious Lions Battle Team was a fool, or the Glorious Lions Battle Team had absolute confidence in their own strength.
The former could not establish a battle team, while the latter was even more frightening.
Hua Qiushui trusted Everlasting War's estimation. However, she did not think that the Asura Battle Team was a fool that would bet all their hopes on a single ray of hope. Such a fool would not stand in such a place.
"Everlasting War, get ready. Send out Team Two." After thinking about it, Hua Qiushui made up her mind.
"We're sending out Team Two now?" Everlasting War was shocked. "There are still several matches left before the competition for the hosting rights. There's no need to send out Team Two so soon. Revealing our strength so early will only make it easier for our remaining opponents to find an opportunity to defeat us. "
During the Glorious Lions Battle Team's selection, nine people had been selected. A total of nine people were chosen, and these nine people were the members of a team.
However, it was only later that Everlasting Zhan found out that the nine people who had been selected were merely reserve members. The official members had been decided long ago, but they hadn't told him about it. This had always been a secret of the Glorious Lions. Even he had only seen two of them. Even he felt fearful of their strength.
However, the nine people selected were not convinced. In the end, they engaged in a team battle with these two people. In the end, those two people won. They did not even lose a single strand of their HP before the battle ended …
This result forced the nine people selected to accept their fate. The difference in strength was simply too massive.
Hence, the members of Team One were only reserve members, while Team Two was the official member. Even Everlasting War did not know where Hua Qiushui had found these experts.
Meanwhile, he had only been appointed as Team Two's vice-leader. As for the mysterious team leader, he had never met him before. He had never seen it before, but he knew that when Hua Qiushui was talking to that person, her expression was very respectful, unlike the commanding tone she used when talking to him.
"The stakes this time are very high. We cannot afford to lose. Notify the organizers. The competition has not begun yet. There will not be a problem with a temporary change of team members, "Hua Qiushui said in an unquestionable tone.
In reality, aside from worrying that the Asura Battle Team was holding back, Everlasting War also wanted Ye Feng to know that the Asura Battle Team was only a reserve member. The members selected that day were only reserve members. They were just minor characters used to deceive the public.
"I understand," Everlasting War said, sighing helplessly. Originally, he had hoped for an intense battle. Now, however, it seemed that that was no longer possible. The members of Team One were already capable of defeating the Asura Battle Team. Meanwhile, the gap between Team One and Team Two was simply too large. The Asura Battle Team had no hope of victory.
…
After the Glorious Lions and Asura Battle Teams confirmed their bets and registered their participants, a commotion broke out among the spectators.
"Crap! What's going on?"
"Why did the Glorious Lions switch out all of their main members?"
"That's not right. It seems that the previous team leader, Everlasting War, is still here. Only, everyone else has been replaced."
"Could it be that the Asura Battle Team is too weak, so they deliberately switched out members to increase the competition's risk?"
…
The spectators discussed the matter among themselves.
In the Dark Arena, it wasn't uncommon for a battle team to make last-minute substitutions. However, this was the first time a battle team had swapped out everyone aside from the team leader.
"Something's not right!" Gentle Snow's complexion immediately turned serious.
"Snow, what's wrong?" Zhao Yueru asked curiously.
"The Glorious Lions did not switch out a strong team for a weak team this time. Instead, they switched out a weak team for a strong team!" Gentle Snow's expression turned serious. "I never thought that the Glorious Lions had hidden their strength so deeply. They actually held back all this time. The Asura Battle Team is in danger now."
"Snow, how do you know that the Glorious Lions switched out a weak team for a strong team? Aren't their levels about the same? " Zhao Yueru took a look at the levels of the new members. The highest was Level 36, while the lowest was Level 35. They were not much stronger than the previous team. Moreover, she had never seen any of these people before. This meant that these people were not famous in the virtual gaming world.
"It's normal that you don't know them. After all, I only know a few of them by chance," Gentle Snow said, smiling bitterly. "That skinny, dark-skinned Level 36 Assassin is called Long Rainbow. He defeated four of Underworld's Seven Ghosts by himself in the Divine Battlefield. He is even slightly stronger than the Great Ghost, who ranks first in the Divine Battlefield. There's also that Level 36 blue-armored Swordsman called Blood Sun. He killed War Wolf and Soaring Snake by himself in the Divine Battlefield."
She had secretly obtained this information from the spies in the Underworld.
Now that Underworld was on Cao Chenghua's side, she had no choice but to make preparations.
Back then, this matter had greatly shocked Underworld's upper echelons. They had never imagined that they would end up getting harvested by someone else while grinding for points in the Divine Battlefield.
Gentle Snow had been rather happy at the time. She had never imagined that Underworld would suffer at the hands of someone other than Black Flame. Now, however, she could not bring herself to feel happy at all.
"What? Since when did the Glorious Lions become so strong?" Naturally, Zhao Yueru knew a lot of information regarding Underworld's Seven Ghosts. She still remembered War Wolf's strength as if it was fresh in her mind. Back then, Fierce Snake, one of Ouroboros's Twelve Apostles, had beaten War Wolf to the point where he could not even retaliate. Even she was afraid of War Wolf. Yet, even such a powerful War Wolf had defeated Soaring Snake, who was ranked first among the Twelve Apostles. His strength was just too frightening.
Compared to Gentle Snow's shock, Phoenix Rain, who sat in a VIP room, also frowned.
"Damn it! Why is he here?!" Phoenix Rain glared at the Glorious Lions' new team leader. Indignantly, she said, "Has the Battle Wolves lost all sense of shame?"
If you subscribe to Qidian under Yuewen, you can see it immediately. (To be continued.)
