X-Dragon Era-Chapter 591 - s 423-425: Mutual Destruction_2

"Damn..." The moment Ming Xuan's words ended, the stands around them completely exploded. That was so arrogant! Did he really think there was no one else in this world? Just unbelievable...

In the face of the crowd's noisy reaction, Ming Xuan's expression didn't change at all. Those who knew him understood that he was just stating the facts, merely telling a big truth. He didn't mean to be arrogant.

Clearly, Chu Rui could accept Ming Xuan's response, though she believed it had some merit, but the persuasiveness was still lacking. In thought, Chu Rui couldn't help but turn her attention back to Xin Yun, pleading, "What about you then? As the team leader, what is your opinion?"

Faced with Chu Rui's question, Xin Yun was in a bind. If he told the utter truth, the reason was actually quite simple. Both Ming Xuan and Po Kong were better at fighting solo and weren't much for team cooperation. Forcing them to cooperate would likely lead to disruption.

To put it figuratively, Po Kong was like a general who could claim the enemy commander's head in an army of millions, without needing anyone's help. Riding alone was enough, bringing others would be a burden.

As for Ming Xuan, he was like a lone swordsman traveling thousands of miles, embodying the phrase "kill one in ten steps, don't stay for a thousand miles." Solitary and self-reliant, he was the epitome of fighting the world alone. He didn't need team cooperation, nor would he cooperate.

Moreover, there was too little understanding among the three of them, almost none. They were all very unfamiliar with each other. In such a situation, fighting independently was actually the inevitable, only choice. What else could they do?

But the problem now was that in such an occasion, in front of so many people, Xin Yun could not possibly tell the bare truth. Doing so would not only reveal their weakness but also... wouldn't that be belittling Po Kong and Ming Xuan? Everyone would think Xin Yun was just boasting about himself. Therefore... although this answer was the truth, it was exactly what couldn't be said.

He couldn't remain silent, yet he couldn't speak freely either. Stuck in a dilemma... Xin Yun couldn't help but furrow his brow. Although reluctant, he had to touch lightly on the subject.

After a brief thought, Xin Yun took a deep breath and calmly started, "Actually, the reasons are varied and it's difficult to summarize in a few words. But overall, the reason for such tactical arrangement is..."

He stopped mid-sentence, and suddenly... the entire venue became as quiet as a graveyard. Everyone was craning their necks, straining their ears, waiting for Xin Yun's answer.

Glancing around the room, Xin Yun smiled and said calmly, "Everyone knows that our team's name is Fantasy Dream Team, indicating a team as fantastic as a dream. Since it's a dream-like team, it naturally must be different. Otherwise, how could it bear the name of 'fantasy'?"

With that, Xin Yun paused briefly before continuing with utmost seriousness, "If we cooperate and unite with sincerity, achieving victory through teamwork, wouldn't that be all too common? What kind of fantasy dream team would that be!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing Xin Yun's explanation, all the spectators became curious, but after thinking it through, wasn't that the very point? No matter what, the Fantasy Dream Team was not the first, nor would it likely be the last to win the World Academy Challenge. Even with a championship title, that wouldn't necessarily qualify as 'fantasy,' would it?

Seeing that everyone seemed to be accepting his argument, Xin Yun's smile became even brighter as he proudly continued, "If possible, we'd love to enter the competition with our arms tied, but as everyone knows, we are fighting dragons. Tying up people's arms is meaningless. Therefore... since tying our arms is futile, we had to choose another method. After consideration, we decided to fight independently, and never to aid each other."

"Hiss..." Confronted with Xin Yun's explanation, everyone simultaneously drew in a breath of cold air. That was outrageously boastful. Perhaps ordinary people might not grasp the significance, but everyone present was from the Academy and understood the difficulty!

Any team activity is primarily about cooperation. It's safe to say that a team that doesn't cooperate is a team destined to fail—clear to anyone who gives it a little thought.

Take Earth, for instance. All team sports, such as basketball, football, and volleyball, are this way—there isn't a single team sport that's an exception.

Some might argue that this is a combat team, not a sports competition, but a combat team is even more so. How can a team that doesn't understand cooperation or mutual support win any war? If everyone's doing their own thing, wouldn't that be chaos?

For example, if someone dared to use such a strategy against a team formed by Xin Yun, Yi Luo Xiang, and Yan Qingying, even if Po Kong, Ming Xuan, and Ka Men teamed up, they would undoubtedly lose. Under their combined attack, Yi Luo Xiang's Soul Impact and Soul Lash, plus Soul Severing, would be enough to immobilize Po Kong for three seconds. In those three seconds, Xin Yun's Thunderbolt Stacking Waves plus Extreme Yang Golden Needles would be enough to obliterate him instantly!

And with Yan Qingying's support from her psychic toxins, along with Shadow Assault's cover, they could definitely intercept Ming Xuan and Ka Men temporarily. To not boast much, holding them for three seconds would be absolutely no problem. This is the power of teamwork!

Looking at Xin Yun with difficulty, Chu Rui said with a strained voice, "But... aren't you worried about losing? I'm not questioning your strength, but you know there are very powerful contenders among the opponents!"
