Chapter 418: 418
After the Chi Branch member and his brothers vacated the courtyard, they did not hurry to leave the courtyard area . Instead, they went to the courtyard next to the one they just vacated and called out a challenge to the residents within .
Most people in the courtyards were equal in strength . At least the ones from the fifth courtyard and beneath had no particular advantage against one another, and they did not care for what number their courtyard was . All that mattered to them was whether or not they were capable of staying in this area .
It was only the top five that cared about their reputation and who would fight for the sake of taking over each other's numbers . So while it would be a challenging fight against the ones in courtyard number eight, it was not impossible for the Chi Branch member and his friends to win the battle .
Xue Wei looked at them and considered going to watch their battle . He needed to see how skilled the men in the army were . Their combat ability had to be better than the sheltered Vermilion Birds he had taken with him to the Ascended's Realm .
After thinking it through, he left Luoluo and Lin Xiao at the courtyard to make it clean, and then he took Bai Tianyi, Hei Gou, and Lan with him towards the challenge stage .
Here, the battle soon began . The Chi Branch clan member was clearly the backbone of the team, and he was capable of providing both assistance and direct attacks . He was throwing out one order after another, and his brothers followed his words without the slightest hesitation .
It was clear that they were soldiers, their approach to battle was very different from what Xue Wei was used to, and upon looking at them, he understood that they had teamwork .
Teamwork . This was something that he lacked with his friends in fighting situations . While they fought back to back, they did not fight together as a team . Instead, they fought as individuals that sometimes assisted one another .
If they could fight as a team, how much better would their combat ability become? From looking at the performance of this Chi branch member, it would be quite beneficial for them to fight together .
It was not only Xue Wei who was deep in thought, Bai Tianyi and Hei Gou were both thinking deeply as well . Only Lan was casual and not paying attention to anything else than the frenzy on the platform .
In the Vermilion Bird Army, it was not allowed to kill or cripple one another, but it was fine if the person was severely injured, as long as their foundation was not harmed .
This meant that many ended up beaten so badly that even their mothers could not recognize them, and especially so in a battle like this, where the people who fought were equal in strength . It was obvious that it would be a desperate battle .
Xue Wei was observing everything in great detail . Although he understood that it would be hard, he wanted to try and see if he could fight as a team with his friends as well . If they did, their potential would be much more frightening than it was now .
They already fulfilled all conditions for being able to fight as a team, as they trusted each other with their lives . They also did not doubt one another, and were able to throw their lives away to save their comrades .
The only problem was that all of them were powerful individuals . They were used to fighting on their own, and they had their own fighting style . To suddenly change, it would be quite challenging .
"Oh well, I cannot decide on my own," Xue Wei muttered to himself as he narrowed his eyes and observed the battle on the stage in front of him .
At the same time, the battle came to an end . Although it was a disastrous battle, it ended with the victory of the Chi Branch member, and that of his brothers .
For some reason, Xue Wei had a good impression of this vermilion bird, and when he looked at him, he saw that he looked back at him, nodded his head, and supported his friends out of the arena .
Xue Wei hesitated for a moment, but eventually, he walked to their side .
"Here," he said and stuffed a jade vial into his hands . "I guess you already have medication, but these should be able to help you quite a bit in the future . "
The Chi Branch member was shocked when he saw that it was a very high graded healing medication that could cure broken bones in minutes . Although he had such valuable medication, he was not willing to take it out, but now he had been given a whole jade vial full of them . There were at least twenty pills inside!
Suddenly the sourness he felt from being chased from the courtyard vanished . Although they had to fight a desperate battle, the pills he had been gifted were totally worth it .
It was not that there were no pills in the Demon Phoenix Continent . However, they were currently at war with another continent . As such, it was hard to get their hands on some resources . These resources were often sent straight to the battlefield and exchanged for merits and achievement points .
The pills they had been gifted; if they each took one now to heal themselves, they would still have enough left to be able to bring them with them towards the battlefield . This was a priceless treasure to them right now .
Xue Wei was unaware that the small gesture he made resolved some problems for him . If he had not done this, the Chi Branch members would hold a grudge, but instead, he was now grateful .
