My Way

Chapter 898 Xia Yueze Doesn't Want to Be a Cowardly Lizard
Looking up at the enormous luminous pattern, which was actually hundreds of kilometers in diameter, high in the sky.

A male cultivator named Qiao Kai.

His face looked extremely pale.

Coming from the [Tianwu Hall], he had already realized that he and his companions had successfully drawn the worst possible lot.

"Depend on……"

"How could this be the territory of the Snow Moon Cloud Pavilion!?"

"Is it really such a coincidence?"

Without hesitation, he immediately asked his companions, "Should we retreat or not?"

If it were another force.

He definitely won't back down.

But that was the [Snow Moon Cloud Pavilion].

Both are dominant forces in the [Water Smoke Silver Sea].

The opponent's overall strength is far superior to that of the [Tianwu Hall].

More importantly, it's clear that they are no match for that guy named Ling Wuyuan...

Once caught by the other party...

Even if they have a backup plan to save their lives.

Even if the other party spares them out of respect for the [Tianwu Hall],

That feeling of being crushed.

That would certainly be quite unpleasant.

therefore.

He resolutely decided he wanted to be a cowardly lizard!
Do it knowing you can't do it.

In the face of an absolute disparity in strength, such behavior is difficult to assess...

however.

In response to Qiao Kai's question.

As the leader of the entire team, the man named Xia Yueze, after a moment's thought, shook his head with an extremely firm expression, giving an answer that surprised all his companions:

"Don't retreat!!"

"Since we were able to encounter them by chance without deliberately searching for them, reality only proves one thing!!"

"That is... it is our duty to fight Ling Wuyuan!"

"This is fate's choice!!"

Hear the words.

Qiao Kai immediately showed a look of shock on his face.

"Are you crazy?"

"Is that guy even a match for us?!"

"That guy is as strong as a monster!!"

To this day, he still clearly remembers how that unlucky guy named Gao Xinrong was easily beaten by Ling Wuyuan on [Haidu Island]...

It was a horrific sight.

The difference is so great that it is beyond the description of ordinary people.

If he believes he is three points stronger than Gao Xinrong, and three points weaker than Xia Yueze...

Based on his calculations...

Ling Wuyuan is at least 333 points stronger than him, Xia Yueze, and Gao Xinrong combined...

We're not even in the same league, literally speaking!

Based on Ling Wuyuan's previous performance.

to be honest.

Even when working together.

Qiao Kai felt that he and his companions were unlikely to be able to inflict even the slightest harm on Ling Wuyuan...

therefore.

He couldn't understand Xia Yueze's thoughts at all.

In his opinion.

That would be utterly humiliating, like a baby who can't walk trying to challenge an adult.

And at this moment, it wasn't just him thinking this; all his companions gave Xia Yueze the same expression, an expression that clearly conveyed the message—[Wait, buddy… are you serious? Are you really planning to deliberately seek out torture?]

can only say.

Including Xia Yueze himself.

No one thought Xia Yueze could win.

But even so.

Xia Yueze still gritted his teeth and said:
"What's there to be afraid of?!"

Why did we come out here to gain experience?!

"Isn't it all about broadening one's horizons?"

"I already backed down once before, when we were outside!!" "Now, I absolutely cannot back down again!!"

"No matter what, I'm going to have a go at him myself!!"

"Faced with such an unimaginably powerful monster of my generation... I will never be satisfied if I don't have a match!!"

"Even with a huge difference in strength, this remains true!!"

That was an extremely firm tone.

As an arrogant individual, he was someone even the strongest among his peers in the [Tianwu Hall] could not completely subdue.

In recent days.

The more Xia Yueze recalled how he had backed down on Haidu Island due to his lack of strength, and dared not challenge Ling Wuyuan in public, the more humiliated and angry he felt!

He felt ashamed that he had retreated without even having fought Ling Wuyuan.

He was furious at his own incompetence, feeling powerless and rageless only after the fact.

He was naturally arrogant.

Every time I recall those situations, I feel like I'm humiliating myself.

That was a sense of shame far stronger than being defeated in public by Ling Wuyuan...

'damn it!!'

'What the hell did I come out here for?!'

'I'm here to gain experience!'

Why did I back down at the crucial moment?!

'Why!!'

'Why the hell?!'

Where has my courage gone?

Where is my pride?

'So be it!'

'Does this mean I've never lost before?'

Why did I back down back then?

'Then why is that?!'

It was a kind of grief and indignation that grew stronger the more you thought about it.

Therefore, when he realized that what lay ahead was the territory of the Snow Moon Cloud Pavilion.

All of a sudden.

Unlike his teammates who had already decided to become cowards to the lizards, Xia Yueze suddenly had only one thought in his mind:
'Inferior skills?'

'The gap is enormous?'

'I'll fight him head-on!'

'I'm determined to test for myself just how awe-inspiring Ling Wuyuan truly is!'

in this regard.

Just like Gao Xinrong back then, who knew he was no match but still wanted to test the waters himself.

Xia Yueze had already backed down once.

Ultimately, he chose a path similar to Gao Xinrong's.

That was simply a feeling of "unwillingness to accept defeat".

However, this is also the will that most practitioners lack.

Even if a towering, precipitous mountain stands before you, inspiring awe and fear.

They would still try to climb it despite the difficulties, driven by their indomitable spirit.

Even if this action might kill me, it's still worth it!!

Instead of backing down after roughly assessing the gap and difficulty.

These types of people usually prioritize speed.

Either die quickly.

Either grow up quickly.

this moment.

Qiao Kai and the others, who could clearly tell from Xia Yueze's words how firm his mind was, could only helplessly reply after a moment of silence:

"Fine……"

"Anyway, with the sect's life-saving measures, that guy shouldn't be able to beat you to death... We'll carry you back afterwards."

These words touched Xia Yueze somewhat, but not too much.

The game hasn't even officially started yet.

But all his companions had already decided that his fate was either death or maiming... What could he do?
He didn't know what to do either.

He could only fall silent.

After all, he simply couldn't refute his companions.

Even he himself felt that after this battle, he would probably have to be carried back to the sect to recover from his injuries.
