X-Dragon Era-Chapter 592 - s 423-425: Mutual Destruction_3
Speaking of this, Chu Rui paused slightly, giving Ming Xuan a hesitant glance before bravely speaking, "Take today's competition as an example, if brother Ming Xuan had lost to his opponent in the end, what would you have planned to do? Would you have joined forces to defeat that Crystal Dragon, or..."
Faced with Chu Rui's question, Xin Yun laughed... With firm conviction in his gaze, Xin Yun stated resolutely, "First of all... I have absolute confidence in my teammates; Ming Xuan would never be defeated. Secondly... If one of us three were truly to be crushed..."
Halting mid-sentence, Xin Yun paused out of habit, and the surrounding stands once again fell silent; even the sound of breathing was suppressed, as everyone quietly waited.
In that hushed silence, Xin Yun declared with utmost seriousness, as if making a vow, "Listen carefully, if any one among us three is crushed in battle, it would mean we don't deserve to be called the Fantasy Dream Team. If we're not worthy, then naturally the Fantasy Dream Team ceases to exist. In other words... we will disband on the spot!"
"Wow!" As Xin Yun spoke, an unprecedented exclamation erupted from the field. What kind of joke was this? Was it a lack of oxygen to the brain? Or perhaps water had gotten into his head!
Taking today's match as an example, if Ming Xuan had lost, then just Xin Yun or Po Kong could've easily defeated the opponent, securing victory in the competition. Yet according to what Xin Yun had just said, if Ming Xuan had indeed lost at that moment, the two wouldn't have intervened, not only refraining from action, but they would withdraw from the competition, and the Fantasy Dream Team would dissolve. As a result, the surely-defeated opposition would ironically emerge victorious!

Fantasy Dream Team! Chu Rui murmured the team's name, founded on the concept of fantasy, her eyes gradually lighting up. If they really could do as they claimed, then... this would indeed be a team worthy of the name 'Fantasy.' However... wasn't that too difficult? Could anyone truly accomplish it?
There is no allowance for any collaboration between them, and after selecting a target, they must each fight on their own. The most brutal part is, if any one of the three is defeated, the Fantasy Dream Team will disband on the spot!
After the initial shock, everyone began discussing loudly, "That's so exaggerated... Really too exaggerated!" It can even be described as arrogant. Do they truly believe they are the only ones in the world?
In the midst of the commotion, Chu Rui, her eyes shining, looked at Xin Yun with admiration. She filled her heart with awe for this resolute man. Though he was not the Head of the Institute, she sensed in him a quality that could make one's blood boil with excitement.
However, even though they were at the same academy, she had virtually no understanding of Xin Yun or Ming Xuan, as well as these two incredibly beautiful sisters beside her.
Speaking of which, Chu Rui had been at Mountain Sea Academy for over six years now; she entered the academy at the age of eight, and this year at fourteen, she had never seen nor heard any tales about these few individuals.
But through this morning's and just now's competitions, Chu Rui could judge that all four of these individuals were beings on the same level as Po Kong. What was going on here?
A woman's curiosity is always vast, and although Chu Rui was not yet a woman, merely a young girl, her curiosity was still enough to kill a cat.
Seeing that time was nearly up, Chu Rui bit her lip lightly and turned her gaze to Po Kong, saying, "One final question, brother Po Kong. Since you agreed to join the Fantasy Dream Team, that at least demonstrates that they have your approval. I think everyone would really like to know, how do you evaluate your four teammates?"
Upon hearing Chu Rui's words, Po Kong frowned slightly. Once asked, this question had to be answered whether he liked it or not. Moreover... with his pride and self-esteem, he absolutely couldn't boast about himself. Not for any other reason, but because he knew his four companions were no ordinary individuals. To belittle them now would only make him appear foolish before long.
To avoid earning himself the title of fool, Po Kong was left with no choice. Being a member of the team, he certainly had opinions about his teammates and had to respond without reservation. With a long sigh... Po Kong knew he had to answer the question according to his most genuine feelings and judgment.
Contemplating for a moment, Po Kong took a deep breath and looked at Chu Rui seriously, saying, "This question is quite sharp, but I must answer it. As for my four teammates, my evaluation is very simple..."
Stopping mid-sentence, it seemed Po Kong had learned this trick from Xin Yun, pausing to keep everyone in suspense. For a moment, everyone stretched their necks and pricked up their ears, waiting for Po Kong's impending evaluation of his four teammates.
In the silence that followed, Po Kong finally spoke with utmost seriousness, "If we five were to compete for the Head of the Institute, then... my chances of becoming the Head would only be one in five!"
"Huh? Ah!" Hearing Po Kong's words, everyone first expressed confusion, then changed to shock. According to Po Kong, didn't that mean all five of them had the potential to compete with him, and the chances of winning were evenly split? How could this be possible!
Clearly, Po Kong didn't think less of himself, but he also refused to underrate his opponents. With Po Kong's character, there was no chance he would lie publicly. The simple reason being, the true strength of the five would be revealed in the upcoming World Academy competition. If Po Kong lied now, it would be the height of foolishness.
