Chapter 1458 In Three Days

1458 In Three Days

Although Chairman Lee could've scheduled the Demon Sealing Faction's Faction War the next day, he wanted to give everyone a chance to prepare, so he scheduled the match to begin in three days.

After pus.h.i.+ng back a month's worth of scheduled Faction Wars, Chairman Lee confirmed the match schedule and called Yuan to notify him of the news.

"Yes, the match will start at noon on the Great Battlefield in three days. I can guide you if you don't know how to get there. If we travel by plane, it's about eight hours away from the Dragon Spiral Mountain."

"Thank you for the offer, but I already have people guiding me there," said Yuan.

"I understand. Then, good night."

After hanging up, Yuan called Meifeng to notify her of the Faction War.

"Yes, the Fiery Locust Swarm has accepted our challenge, and our match is scheduled to begin in three days at noon. Do you know how to get to the Great Battlefield?"

"Yes, I do."

"Then can you bring the others there? I will meet you guys there."

"Of course. We'll see you there."

Yuan hung up the phone, turned to look at Bai Lianhua, and said, "Now that that's settled, let's get some rest tonight and start our training tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll get you a ro"

Before Bai Lianhua could finish her sentence, Yu Rou stood up and declared, "Brother will sleep with me! My bed is big enough to fit two people comfortably, too!"

Yuan looked at her with a bittersweet smile, "Aren't you an independent adult now?"

"That has nothing to do with us sleeping together like before! You owe me, at the very least, this much for not visiting me sooner!"

Yuan sighed in a defeated voice, "Alright, we can sleep together."

"Goodnight, Senior Sister!"

"Goodnight, Lianhua," Yuan said to her before following Yu Rou to her room.

They quickly lay in bed inside Yu Rou's room but did not immediately go to sleep.

"Brother, what do you think's going to happen to our world?"

"I can't say nothing will happen since we're already past that point, and there will surely be more changes in the future, but I will do my best to protect it from being harmed by foreign or domestic forces."

"I know that you're trying to protect the world, but please take care of yourself. You're much more important to the world for me, and if I had to choose to sacrifice one, I wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice the world if it means keeping you safe." Yu Rou spoke in a low voice.

Yuan smiled, "I will do my best."

They fell asleep shortly after while holding hands.

Early in the morning the following day, Bai Lianhua gathered every member in her faction, which numbered in the thousands, at the training grounds.

Once everyone gathered, Bai Lianhua began speaking, "I'm sure most if not all of you heard this by nowthat our opponent, Fiery Locust Swarm, has been challenged by the Demon Sealing Faction. If you're wondering why they would do something like that, you can ask the person who challenged the Fiery Locust Swarm himself, as he will be training with us for the next several days."

"What?! Did this happen last night?"

"Player Yuan is here?!"

"I knew my eyes weren't playing tricks on me and that I saw him yesterday!"

"Where is Player Yuan right now?!"

A stir of commotion rippled through the crowd.

"He should be arriving at any moment"

"I'm here." Yuan's voice suddenly resounded, causing everyone there to turn their heads to stare at him like a group of seagulls before food.

Seeing how much attention he was getting from females, Yu Rou, who was beside him, frowned slightly.

"It's really Player Yuan!"

"You're my idol, Player Yuan!"

"Are you really going to train with us?!"

Yuan jumped onto one of the stages there and started answering their questions, "Please, just call me Yuan. Yes, I will be training with you guys to prepare for the upcoming Faction War with the Fiery Locust Swarm."

"Why did you challenge the Fiery Locust Swarm? Did you do it to help us?" someone raised a hand and asked.

"As a friend of Bai Lianhua, I cannot sit still when her beloved faction is being bullied. Not to mention that my precious little sister is also part of the faction. However, I am not doing this for a n.o.ble cause, so I don't deserve any grat.i.tude you may feel toward me."

"How confident are you in defeating the Fiery Locust Swarm? I saw the terms, and it doesn't play to your advantage" someone else expressed their worry.

Yuan smiled and said, "I won't say that victory is guaranteed, but I am confident in our abilities."

"Isn't this the Demon Sealing Faction's first time partic.i.p.ating in a Faction War? How can you be confident in something you've never experienced?"

"While I may not have any experience in Faction Wars, I certainly know a thing or two about fighting a large number of opponents at once."

Sometime later, after answering several more questions, Yuan said, "Anyways, let's talk about our training now."

"For training, I am going to be sparring with everyone here, but we're going to treat it as though we are in a Faction War, such as representing our life with a badge by the waist. Everyone here will have exactly 30 seconds to take my life. If you successfully do so, I will reward you a Divine-rank technique."

"What?!" Everyone there expressed immense shock after hearing his words.

"Also, I won't use any techniques, and I won't attack you for the first 30 seconds. Once I start attacking, if you are able to keep your life for 10 seconds, I will reward you with a Divine- rank technique, so you'll have two chances to receive the reward."

"What?!?!?!" They cried out loud again.

"A-are you serious? You won't go back on your words, right?"

Yuan chuckled and said, "I promise you that I am serious."

Yu Rou nodded, "I vouch for my brother's integrity."

"Me too." Bai Lianhua also chimed in.

Hearing this, the others cheered loudly, causing the place to tremble with their volume alone.
