Fang Qingyu saw Chu Kuanglan staring at the video screen in a daze.
Clearly really considering whether he has a chance of winning against the Divine Cultist.
Unable to hold back, he smirked slightly and chuckled, "What’s up, Old Chu, are you really so lacking confidence in yourself?"
Chu Kuanglan snapped back from his shock upon hearing this.
Like a tiger that had its tail stepped on, his eyes bulged, rolling his eyes annoyedly, and retorted, "Nonsense! Who’s lacking confidence? I’m just... strategically evaluating the opponent! And besides."
His eyes shifted, he chuckled, "When the time comes, I’ll call Banmeng over, the two of us will join forces, I refuse to believe we can’t take him down."
Fang Qingyu listened to his simplistic and rough recruitment plan, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
He walked to the single sofa nearby and sat down, leaning slightly backward, looking at Chu Kuanglan: "Old Chu, have you ever thought about that recruiting someone, especially someone with skills and a quirky temperament, doesn’t necessarily require beating them into submission?"
This immediately froze Chu Kuanglan in place.
Looking at Chu Kuanglan’s pondering expression.
Fang Qingyu shook his head silently in his heart, sighed silently.
As expected.
Expecting Old Chu, who always solves problems with fists, to scheme and coax is really too difficult for him.
Old Chu’s thought process.
Basically just stops at doing it and if not possible, call on people to help.
Considered hopeless.
As the night deepened, the villa door was gradually pushed open.
The team members who were out on tasks or gathering information returned one after another.
Old Qin and Mouse were travel-worn, still carrying a thread of unsettled hostility.
Wei Banmeng and Su Wanqing entered side by side, whispering about something.
Lin Yu and Lu Yunshen arrived almost simultaneously, contemplative expressions on their faces.
The villa, which initially only had Lv Chen and Old Qiao training exhaustively, suddenly became lively.
When Fang Qingyu saw that nearly everyone arrived.
He clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention.
He walked to the center of the living room, speaking lightly yet clearly reaching everyone’s ears: "Everyone back? Perfect, there’s an announcement to make."
Their gazes instantly focused on him, the living room quieted down.
"Everyone should know this news." Fang Qingyu started directly, "The City of Injustice officials are going to hold a city-wide martial arts tournament with Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three divisions. Registration starts tomorrow at the city center arena."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone.
Especially lingering over Wei Banmeng, Su Wanqing, Old Lu, Lin Wan, Chu Kuanglan, those whose Tier Two strength was relatively strong, then continued.
"Among these, the core reward is a resource called Pure Crystal."
Fang Qingyu’s voice held a trace of seriousness, "It can greatly accelerate the absorption efficiency of Qi Blood Crystal or Life Pearl, shortening the time needed for cultivation."
"Pure Crystal?!"
"Accelerate absorption?!"
These terms fell like a boulder into a calm lake.
Instantly stirring huge waves within everyone’s hearts.
Even Chu Kuanglan, who was just deep in thought, suddenly raised his head, a fiery glow erupting in his eyes.
These people present, almost all climbed up step by step through their own hard cultivation.
Even those like Wei Banmeng, who do not lack resources.
Still have to slowly cultivate using Qi Blood Crystal.
They are too aware of the preciousness of time on the martial arts path.
Such treasures that can catalyze resource absorption efficiency, greatly saving cultivation time
are rare opportunities for any martial artist or Divine Cultist aiming to enhance their power.
"Qingzi, is this true?"
Old Chu’s voice quivered with excitement.
"Can we participate too?" Even Old Lu’s steady face showed a sliver of yearning.
"Of course."
Fang Qingyu nodded affirmatively, "I’ve already asked Yan Lin to help with sign-ups, and identities won’t be exposed. Beginning tomorrow, you’ll take turns completing the registration with Yan Lin at the city center. This is a rare opportunity, who wouldn’t want to advance further?"
"Want! Definitely want!"
Chu Kuanglan was the first to shout.
"Must participate!"
Wei Banmeng’s eyes were sharp.
"Great opportunity." Su Wanqing and Lin Yu spoke simultaneously.
Others also nodded in agreement.
Such an existence as Pure Crystal is enough to make any martial artist or Divine Cultist give their all.
After arranging the tournament matters.
Fang Qingyu signaled everyone to report on recent work.
Wei Banmeng, as an active core member in gang affairs, spoke first, her voice crisp and swift: "There’s been quite a commotion in the Gray Rock District these past two days."
"Although the nightclub incident was temporarily suppressed by President Yan pretending to be you at the dormitory building, there’s an undercurrent."
"Several forces, including Lingxiao Association, are frantically investigating what exactly happened at the nightclub that night, seemingly determined to uncover Fang Qingyu’s involvement."
"However, currently, all apparent members of Cyan Dragon Gang are excluded from suspicion, they’re only asking us to cooperate in the investigation and provide some surrounding information."
She paused, her tone carrying a bit of gravity: "Additionally, Lingxiao Association formally approached someone today, encountered Lei Meng. Their intention is clear, wanting Lei Meng to open a storage backdoor for them in Gray Rock District, like Blood Wolf Gang did before, to secretly transport specific goods."
"Oh?" Fang Qingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "How did Lei Meng respond?"
"Lei Meng immediately refused." Wei Banmeng’s eyes flashed with appreciation, "He said Cyan Dragon Gang has just gained a foothold, many things to rebuild, no energy nor place for such matters. Moreover, his stance was firm, directly saying Cyan Dragon Gang doesn’t intend to be any other’s pawn or warehouse."
