Chapter 2703 - 2703: Truly Lucky!

Du Xing ignored the reactions of the others and summoned his main fey, the Burning Ground Yak.

He leaped onto the Burning Ground Yak’s back and rushed to the front.

Most of the Radiance Federation’s younger generation had experience with surviving in the wild.

After last year’s Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, where the test had been changed to a survival format, many members of the Radiance Federation’s younger generation went to train in the wild over the past year.

Many people noticed that Yang Wenpeng was a bumpkin. Although the elders in his family had brought him out to train in the wild, he had not paid attention to the knowledge involved in surviving in the wild. Otherwise, he would not be unaware of the fact that a C formation was not suitable for avoiding a large group of enemies.

Rather than staying here and suffering and dying with Yang Wenpeng, they stood a better shot of surviving by going with Du Xing.

Given the circumstances, there were no better options.

Thus, those who realized their circumstances left the team with Du Xing and rushed forward.

Yang Nuanxin grabbed the teammate next to her, who was about to leave with Du Xing, and said, “Little Dong, give me a ride on your Nimble Moose. I’m leaving with the rest of you! The Cleansing Rain Sky Crane will be able to protect us during our journey.”

The young man Yang Nuanxin addressed as Little Dong helped her up onto the Nimble Moose’s back. He also intentionally sat behind her to prevent her from slipping off.

Qin Dong and Yang Nuanxin were good friends, and he could understand that she was in a difficult position.

Hence, just like Du Xing, he did not force her to stay with them when Yang Wenpeng was trying to poach her.

“Nuanxin, now that you have made your decision, let’s hurry up and catch up with Big Brother Xing! Otherwise, he won’t be able to join him! With the possibility of encountering dead spirits at any moment, it will be better for us to find strength in numbers.”

Although Qin Dong was speaking with Yang Nuanxin, he did not slow down his actions. Rather, when Yang Nuanxin first told him that she wanted to leave, he instructed the Nimble Moose to charge forward. He was afraid that Yang Wenpeng would try to stop her and prevent her from leaving.

Qin Dong was not making a mountain out of a molehill.

He knew how important Yang Nuanxin was to the team.

The best way for Yang Wenpeng to secure his control over the team would be to control Yang Nuanxin and utilize the Cleansing Rain Sky Crane as his signature.

It was true that this was how Yang Wenpeng felt, but he had acted too slowly. By the time he instructed his fey to get close to Yang Nuanxin, she was already seated on the Nimble Moose and had dashed far away.

There was no question that the people who left his team to join Du Xing felt hostility towards him.

Yang Wenpeng dared not send his fey too far.

When Wei Haodong saw this, he was so enraged that he wanted to scream.

He had sowed discord in the team to take over the leadership position.

But now, the team had separated, and there was no meaning in becoming the leader of Yang Wenpeng and these few hundred people.

While Wei Haodong was in the midst of disappointment, a black figure flew toward him and slammed into his back. Two giant forces also immobilized his fey.

When Wei Haodong recovered from the impact, he saw Yang Wenpeng staring at him coldly and with menace.

Wei Haodong shouted, “Yang Wenpeng, why did you attack me? The dead spirits are about to reach us. Why aren’t you instructing your men to flee? We are a team of comrades. Don’t you care about the consequences of attacking me?”

Wei Haodong assumed that because they were all here to participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, they would never do anything that clearly harmed their image unless they were lunatics.

Yang Wenpeng was not a lunatic. But he had just suffered a chain of blows.

At first, he was in the glorious position of leading a team of more than 1,000 people. But now, that large team had broken apart. He had also lost Yang Nuanxin’s Cleansing Rain Sky Crane, which caused his authoritative aura to suffer further.

Yang Wenpeng knew that although there were only 300 to 400 people left in his team, they would never allow themselves to be fully controlled by him again.

He had fallen to this position because of Wei Haodong’s provocation. Du Xing would never have had to step forward if he had not tried to provoke him.

Yang Wenpeng could never sit by and watch Wei Haodong take over as leader of the team.

“Of course, I am going to lead us away from the sea of dead spirits. Don’t forget that I was the one who suggested we hide from the dead spirits. You have been continuously stirring discontent in the team and pulling us down. I must teach you a lesson! You can stay at the back of the group and use your feys to clean up after us.”

The moment Yang Wenpeng spoke, the black leopard’s tail, which was akin to a steel whip, landed on Wei Haodong’s body.

The whip did not seem strong, but it still caused the bones in Wei Haodong’s knees to crack. As a result, he could still stand but not walk quickly.

Yang Wenpeng also used his feys to cause serious damage to Wei Haodong’s feys.

Wei Haodong’s chest tightened. He knew that Yang Wenpeng could not kill him directly out of consideration of his own image. He was trying to use this method to eliminate Wei Haodong by leaving him to die at the hands of the waves of dead spirits.

The immense rage caused Wei Haodong to glare at Yang Wenpeng with bloodshot eyes.

“Yang Wenpeng, aside from the slight amount of power you possess, you are nothing but a jerk! A hopeless jerk! Du Xing managed to avoid the swarm of thousands of dead spirits by retreating in the C formation, so you copied him to take on millions of dead spirits. You must be mad!

“You attacked my fey and me and stole my ability to flee. Do you really think a black-hearted fool like you will be able to make it into the Radiance Hundred Sequence? Wake up and get real!”

Wei Haodong felt refreshed after saying that.

The hosts and audience on Star Web must have seen all the twists and turns that had happened to their team.

He had revealed the harm he suffered at Yang Wenpeng’s hands in front of so many people.

Even if he couldn’t get back at Yang Wenpeng in this test, the consequences of his actions that would come after the test would be the ultimate revenge.

It was true that birds of a feather flocked together.

Wei Haodong thought he had hidden his provocative methods well. He had no clue that the audience watching from a bird’s eye view had seen it all clearly.

The conflict in this team had generated passionate comments on Star Web.

The matter became even larger of a sensation once Poison Beauty picked up on it.

The more popular a host was, the less suitable they would be to express their seemingly objective opinions on Star Web, which was a public platform. This was because a person’s opinions were almost always subjective, and expressing them would lead to many negative consequences.

Poison Beauty always kept this in mind.

However, after watching everything that had transpired from her bird’s eye view, she had the right to express her opinion as a host who had been specially invited as a commentator.

The Radiance Hundred Sequence selection was an honorable event.

The Radiance Federation intentionally used the participants’ names as their identification tags.

“Wei Haodong incited discontent in his team and is a malignant tumor to the team. A person like this would harm any team that he is part of. However, his actions also exposed Yang Wenpeng’s issues.

“Who knows how many people the evil dictator Yang Wenpeng has bullied in real life? He actually publicly coerced his cousin from a collateral branch of his family and maliciously attacked other participants.”

Because of her personal experiences, Poison Beauty felt more disgusted with Yang Wenpeng than Wei Haodong.

Poison Beauty also came from a collateral branch and was constantly bullied by an older male and female cousin from the main branch.

Later, her father managed to use his capabilities to form a connection with a powerful chamber of commerce. This allowed them to finally break free from the control of the main branch.

After joining this chamber of commerce, Poison Beauty’s father built two merchant groups.

However, the chamber of commerce eventually went bankrupt, and Poison Beauty’s family only managed to stay afloat by relying on the two merchant groups. At the very least, Poison Beauty did not have to worry about having food to eat and clothes to wear.

However, Poison Beauty needed to earn her own resources to nurture her feys and could not rely on her family for much help.

Later, because she was matched with Lin Yuan on Star Web and fought a few battles with him, she managed to become a popular Star Web host.

It was only after signing a contract with the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce to help them with their sales that Poison Beauty finally gained financial freedom.

When the main branch found out that she was thriving, they immediately contacted her.

Poison Beauty only had one stance toward them—to get rid of any plans to leech off of her!

After Yang Nuanxin was overwhelmed by Yang Wenpeng’s status as a direct descendant of the main branch, Poison Beauty felt a sense of relatability to her.

This was why Poison Beauty intentionally mentioned the part about the main branch of the family coercing the collateral branch.

She hoped she could use her influence to help Yang Nuanxin avoid any negative repercussions from Yang Wenpeng.

Lu Shuang was partnering with Poison Beauty for this live stream. She also shared her thoughts about this matter. Her words were full of harsh judgment toward Yang Wenpeng and Wei Haodong.

Lu Shuang had been part of an adventurer team in the past.

She left the team after six months because there were people in the team who were constantly stirring trouble.

By that time, Lu Shuang could already support herself through her channel.

She did not want to be forced to participate in unnecessary socializing and become embroiled in negativity. Hence, she decided to leave the team.

Lu Shuang and Poison Beauty’s judgments of Yang Wenpeng and Wei Haodong were met with boisterous agreement.

[Returning on Wind]: People like that are disgusting! Who hasn’t encountered dictators and trouble-stirring jerks in their own lives? People like that aren’t fit to become part of the Radiance Hundred Sequence!

[Hopping Tall Mountain]: I can’t be bothered to waste my thoughts on such people. I would rather pay attention to Yang Nuanxin’s Cleansing Rain Sky Crane. Aren’t the Creation Masters doing research into feys that can treat death aura? Why don’t the Creation Masters focus their efforts on the Cleansing Rain Sky Crane? The Cleansing Rain Sky Crane’s ability to cleanse death aura is amazing!

To the Moon Empress and the entire Radiance Federation, Yang Nuanxin’s Cleansing Rain Sky Crane was the biggest surprise to come out of the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

It was evident that the Cleansing Rain Sky Crane had mutated from another fey.

There were many reasons for a fey to undergo a mutation.

Unless the external factors were fully replicated, reproducing or creating the mutation was not guaranteed.

The Moon Empress wanted to meet with Yang Nuanxin personally after the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection ended. She would ask Yang Nuanxin and the Cleansing Rain Sky Crane to stay with her for some time to examine her fey.

If she could recreate the Cleansing Rain Sky Crane’s mutation, she could keep one above each city.

The regular people of the Radiance Federation would thus not have to worry about being killed by the death aura when Tower Canon brought out even more moves.

As the topic gained traction, Du Xing and Qin Dong were mentioned. Du Xing especially received significant praise.

[Not Like the Past]: Du Xing is truly a good captain! He didn’t want to engage in conflict while they were in the middle of the journey and chose to give up his authority. When his people were being disadvantaged, he stepped up to fight for them.

[I Hope to be Smoke]: What does he mean by using a C formation to avoid the dead spirits? I think even I’m better than Yang Wenpeng when it comes to surviving in the wild! Du Xing made the right choice. Given the circumstances, charging forward is the only option!

[Love Eating Sweet Beans]: Luckily, Du Xing and the rest aren’t too far from the main area. Judging by their current direction, they will be able to reach Lord Lin Yuan!

Poison Beauty read many similar comments saying that Du Xing and the rest were very lucky.

However, she did not share their sentiment.

The audience felt that Du Xing was lucky because he could join Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had become a symbol of faith in the Radiance Federation, so anyone who had the chance to make contact with him saw themselves as lucky.

But in Poison Beauty’s opinion, Du Xing’s luck came from Yang Nuanxin’s decision to join his team.

In order to properly comment on the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, she intentionally went to experience the dead spirits and stayed in an environment concentrated with death aura for some time. Thus, she was well aware of the impact that death aura had on the human body.

As the dead spirits continued cropping up in the test ground, the concentration of death aura also rose.

If Du Xing and the rest did not change their direction, they would be almost 500 kilometers away from Lin Yuan. However, they would be able to reach Lin Yuan’s sea of flowers in another 300 kilometers!

Without the Cleansing Rain Sky Crane to cleanse the death aura in the area, less than 1/10 of the almost 700 people in Du Xing’s team would be able to make it to the sea of flowers.

Poison Beauty did not think that Yang Nuanxin made her decision because of Du Xing’s charisma. She believed that Yang Nuanxin did so because of how she felt toward her friends.

In this aspect, Yang Nuanxin was doing much better than the Poison Beauty of the past!
