The Return Of The God Level Assassin (WN)

1078 EVERYONE PREPARING

ON the first weekend after the new semester began, team Yunyue decided to start an 'Arcadia Tour'. It was to prepare for the [Amazing Race] theme of the quarter-finals. Arcadia was a big world. So big that it could even be compared to the real world.

Since both Luo Yan and Luo Jin had only started playing Arcadia last year, which wasn't even a full year yet, it would be hard to navigate the whole world without knowing which way to go. It was not only for them but also for the fox and the two dragons. They were as much as a part of their team as any other.

One might say that it's still too early to worry about that, considering the start of the final tournament was still three months away. Another thing was, the [Amazing Race] was a theme for the quarter-finals. It wasn't even certain that they would get past the final 16 battle.

But that's not a problem for team Yunyue. But they all believed that they would get past that, no matter who their opponent would be.

That's why they had decided to prepare in advanced. Every weekend, they would do this special tour until everyone was familiar with the whole of Arcadia.

They still didn't know what this [Amazing Race] theme fully entailed. But at least they would be ready.

So, right now, the whole team was at the eastmost part of Arcadia. Their plan was to go from east to west, and then from north to south.

They were currently on the top of a mountain overlooking a coastal village.

"So, we'll travel from here and then stopped by in every village, cities, town, or any known landmarks that would come our way," Bai Ze said. "What do you think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Well, everyone except the two dragons. Dusk simply didn't care what everyone had decided, while Rowan was seriously not on board with this decision.

"What exactly is your dissatisfaction, my dear Rowan?" Bai Ze asked in an exasperated tone.

Rowan scowled. "Don't 'my dear' me! It's easy for all of you to agree with this ridiculous travel experience when you're not the ones being used as a 'vehicle'!" He turned to Dusk. "Don't you think so as well?"

Dusk refused to comment and just looked at the vast sea below. Which only frustrated Rowan.

"This concerns you as well, you know? Why am I the only one fighting for our rights?"

"Because you're too overdramatic," Eclipse answered instead, rolling his eyes. "And Uncle Dusk doesn't mind, because it's no big deal."

"How do you know he doesn't mind?" Rowan argued.

"Isn't Uncle not complaining already a sign of that?" Eclipse argued back.

"Okay, okay, let's all not argue," Luo Yan said. "You remember who goes with who, right?"

As Rowan had put it, they had two 'vehicles' in the form of dragons. And since there were six of them who were supposed to ride, they had to divide into two groups. Luo Yan, Shen Ji Yun, and Eclipse would ride on Dusk. While Bai Ze, Luo Jin, and Su Yuqi would ride on Rowan.

The two dragons had transformed into their original form, hulking and majestic amidst Rowan's dissatisfaction.

And so, team Yunyue finally began their 'Arcadia Tour'.

It was not only team Yunyue who had been preparing for the final tournament, other teams in the top 16 were also doing the same. The top 4 last year were no different.

Team Celestials, in particular, was holding a meeting at their headquarters.

"I think we should let the other members who were not part of the main attack team to lead the top 16 match," Li Xu Min said. "It would be a good experience for them."

"While I do agree that it could be a good experience, we should also consider how good this year's top 16 is," Duan Yu interjected.

"I do understand your concern. But I believe there would be no big problem." Li Xu Min smiled at the other members of their team, who were there for the meeting. "Each member of our team is strong and dependable. I believe they won't let us down."

The other team members, who were not part of the main attack team, felt moved by their captain's words. They could only think how much of an angel he was. And with that, they burned with even more determination.

They couldn't let their captain down.

Duan Yu let out a long sigh. Although this trait of Li Xu Min was very commendable, sometimes it could also get a bit frustrating.

While he was thinking of how to make the other see reason, Zhong Hui suddenly spoke up.

"How about putting one of us on the team to lead them?" He turned to Li Xu Min. "What do you think, Ah Min?"

Li Xu Min seemed to be contemplating about it. At the end, he nodded. "Okay, let's do as Ah Hui said."

Qiu Ming suddenly raised his hand. "Me! Me! Let me do it!"

Li Xu Min chuckled as Qiu Ming excited reaction. "Okay, we will leave this to Ming-er."

Another sigh escaped Duan Yu's lips. This was just getting better.

"Just leave it," Song Liuli whispered to him. "It's not that bad. Have more trust in the members of our team. Aren't you the one who admitted most of them? Surely, you didn't let anyone incompetent join."

Duan Yu could only shake his head. Well, since things were already like this, he just have to make sure the ones who would fight in the top 16 match with Qiu Ming were in top shape.

He would train them himself if needed.

Similar scenes like this were happening all around the top 16 teams. There were those who were training, those doing dungeon raids, and those doing things like team Yunyue.

No matter how different each team's approach was, each and everyone was doing their best to make sure they would be ready by the time the final tournament began.
