163: Shame on you, Li Ziyu is too conceited!

“Although the mission doesn't specify the order of completion, it's clearly better to finish earlier. If we don't start our mission now, we'll only be left further and further behind by those who are extremely unrelated!”

“Does Li Ziyu still want to compete with Ji Dao Martial Hall?!”

Chen Xing said, frowning tightly as he looked out the window, his tone full of complaint.

“Mei Wan'er, why don't you send Li Ziyu another message and ask him.”

Wei Jianguo was also getting a bit anxious; mainly, everyone else was taking action, and only they were waiting here, which would only make them fall further behind others.

Especially Ji Dao Martial Hall, they were probably already starting to tackle B-level missions by now.

If they waited for them to complete the B-level mission, then even if they started moving, they probably wouldn't be able to catch up.

Mei Wan'er nodded, then began operating her wristband.

The wristband had a communication function; although it couldn't make direct voice calls, it could send messages.

“Li Ziyu replied.”

At this moment, Mei Wan'er, who had just sent a message to Li Ziyu, looked up and said.

“What did he say? When will he arrive?”

Chen Xing and Wei Jianguo eagerly asked.

Mei Wan'er paused, her expression a bit hesitant: “Uh… Li Ziyu said we don't need to worry about him; he's going to act alone.”

After she spoke, the scene fell silent for a moment.

Chen Xing was about to speak, but Wei Jianguo, who had been silent and rarely spoke, suddenly slammed the table first.

The mahogany table directly splintered into four pieces under his palm.

Wei Jianguo's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he said with an angry expression:

“Nonsense! Li Ziyu is simply being foolish!”

“Li Yang of Ji Dao Martial Hall is a Level 6 Martial Artists and he didn't act alone, yet Li Ziyu is planning to act alone. Is he not planning to complete the first stage mission!?”

“What gave him the courage to dare to act alone!?”

“The military has gone to such great lengths to help Li Ziyu compete with Ji Dao Martial Hall, and Li Ziyu just casually abandons us and acts on his own!?”

“This is too arrogant.”

Even Wei Jianguo, this emotionally stable military genius, was a bit angry at this moment.

When he was ordered to assist Li Ziyu in completing the mission, he was initially a bit displeased.

But the soldier's bounden duty to obey orders was already ingrained in his bones.

With the order in hand, he could only suppress his displeasure and prepare to assist Li Ziyu wholeheartedly and without compromise once they entered the secret realm.

After all, regarding the stance on the two major martial halls, the academy faction and the military were on the same side.

However, they had waited here for so long, and Li Ziyu wasn't coming?

This made even an honest person like him feel very angry.

“Li Ziyu wouldn't think that he could surpass the Ji Dao Martial Hall's team in mission speed just by himself, would he?”

“What is he thinking?”

Chen Xing looked at the splintered table and awkwardly retracted his hand, which he had just been about to raise.

However, he was also very confused in his heart, truly unable to understand what Li Ziyu was thinking.

Doesn't Li Ziyu understand the meaning of 'many hands make light work'?

Their opponent is so strong, and he still dares to act alone?

A bit too arrogant!

The few of them sent Li Ziyu a few more messages, but they all fell into the sea.

Only then did they confirm that Li Ziyu was truly planning to act alone.

“Two possibilities: either Li Ziyu is confident in his own strength and believes that he can complete the first stage mission by himself.”

“Or he looks down on our strength and thinks we will hold him back.”

Chen Xing looked at Wei Jianguo and the other person and said indifferently.

He leaned towards the second possibility.

Wei Jianguo and Mei Wan'er also looked a bit embarrassed.

They were all geniuses in their respective circles, yet they were looked down upon like this.

“In that case, the three of us will form a team and go complete the mission to show Li Ziyu our strength!”

Wei Jianguo said in a muffled voice.

“Good! I agree with Brother Wei's idea. Haha, this is the first time I've been looked down upon.”

“But with the three of us together, the speed of completing missions will definitely be terrifyingly fast.

Haha, I'm even a little curious what Li Ziyu's reaction will be when our ranking on the mission leaderboard is higher than his.”

Chen Xing also nodded in agreement.

As he spoke, he slowly stood up from his chair, opened his wristband, and prepared to accept the closest C-level mission to test the waters first.

However, just then, his wristband suddenly flashed.

A notification popped up.

It displayed in front of everyone.

“Congratulations to Li Ziyu for completing the first clear of a B-level mission, extra reward of 5% mission progress.”

“Congratulations to Li Ziyu for completing the first clear of a B-level mission, extra reward of 5% mission progress.”

The three of them stared at the notification in front of them, completely stunned.

“First clear of a B-level mission? Li Ziyu completed a B-level mission by himself?”

“How so fast?”

“Holy cow, the top of the mission progress leaderboard has also become Li Ziyu.”

At this moment, Chen Xing stared wide-eyed at the mission progress leaderboard. It originally had Li Yang's name, but now it had changed to Li Ziyu.

“Current Mission Progress Ranking:

Li Ziyu, Mission Completion: 20%.

Li Yang, Mission Completion: 5%.

Wang Xinyang, Mission Completion: 5%.”

And he was directly leading by fifteen percent mission progress!

“The strength of a Fifth-level Peak Martial Artist should be enough to complete a B-level mission. Li Ziyu probably got lucky and happened to encounter a B-level mission nearby…”

“However, the people from Ji Dao Martial Hall are a team. It should be impossible for Li Ziyu to surpass Ji Dao Martial Hall on his own.”

Chen Xing looked at the mission progress leaderboard projected in front of him, as if cheering himself on, his expression somewhat unreadable.

Just now, he was saying that Li Ziyu couldn't do it without their assistance, but he was immediately proven wrong.

However, this further ignited their competitive spirit:

“I just don't believe it. Do we really not even have the qualifications to assist Li Ziyu?!”

“Let's go! Let's not focus on the mission progress leaderboard anymore; we're going to do missions too!”

…
