Chapter 498, Confident of Defeating Lu Fan!

Nearby, Xu Jing smiled. Clearly, the previous battle had been far too easy for him.

 

“Indeed, in my view, there’s no need for Brother Meng and Brother Jiang to take action. The three of us should be able to defeat everyone else. The only ones we need to be cautious about are these few teams beside us. These teams basically compose of all Second Profession Players. It might be rather difficult for just the three of us to face them. But, if Brother Jiang is willing to take action, victory is in our grasp!”

 

Jiang Fengyun nodded and said. “Of course. Essentially, no one is our match. With the four of us coordinating, nobody can match us.”

 

As he spoke, Jiang Fengyun looked towards Meng Jia, smiling as he asked. “Brother Meng, we are quite strong, aren’t we? Would you consider forming a regular team with us in the future, to tackle Dungeon Instances and such?”

 

Meng Jia’s expression beside them was quite pleasant as he nodded. “Hmm, while you’re not exactly Top Tier, I guess among Dragon Capital University students, you could be considered first-rate. Originally, I thought that students in Dragon Capital University are far weaker than me so forming teams with them for Dungeon Instances would hold me back. But for you four… I guess you barely qualify to be on my team.”

 

“Anyway, I’ll only be staying at Dragon Capital University for at most two years, or if things move quickly, I could graduate early and leave after this year. Temporarily forming a team with you to Level Up might actually help me Level Up faster.”

 

Hearing Meng Jia acknowledge their abilities, everyone including Jiang Fengyun was delighted.

 

Although Meng Jia might only team up with them for a year or two, after spending time together, they would certainly get closer with Meng Jia. By the time Meng Jia truly became a Guardian General, they would have made a remarkable friend in a high position.

 

Even if later Meng Jia did not want to associate with them in the future, simply running Dungeon Instances with Meng Jia for a year or two would let them boast in the future that they had been regular teammates. In short, having a relationship with him would be all benefits with no drawbacks!

 

Having finally achieved his objective, Jiang Fengyun’s smile deepened as he laughed heartily to Meng Jia. “Then thank you, Brother Meng, for thinking so highly of us!”

 

“Brother Meng, rest assured, with us around, you won’t need to trouble yourself for this year’s final exam. We can efficiently deal with ordinary opponents! Just that if we encounter Lu Fan’s team…” At this point, Jiang Fengyun’s face showed difficulty, and he unconsciously glanced towards Lu Fan and his group.

 

Meng Jia also followed Jiang Fengyun’s gaze, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit as he coldly said, “Don’t worry. If we meet their team, I’ll definitely take action. When the time comes, we’ll divide the battlefield into two parts. I’ll fight one-on-one with that Dragon Tamer, and you deal with the others! Apart from the Dragon Tamer, you should be able to handle the rest, right?”

 

“No problem!” Jiang Fengyun hastily replied. “We certainly are not Lu Fan’s match. In their team, only Jian Ying is somewhat troublesome. But among them, they even have an Enchanted Cook who poses no threat to us whatsoever. So, as long as you can keep Lu Fan occupied, Brother Meng, we can resolve all the others. Perhaps we might even come to help you defeat Lu Fan afterwards!”

 

Meng Jia, knowing Lu Fan’s strength was unfathomable, did not spout any nonsense about fighting Lu Fan one-on-one. After all, he came from the military, and all his skills were learned on the battlefield.

 

On the battlefield, if one could defeat the enemy, any means were justified. Therefore, although Meng Jia very much wanted to test if Lu Fan was really as formidable as the rumours say, he still preferred to directly take him out.

 

As long as he got first place, he would only need to stay at Dragon Capital University for a year before returning to the Blood Cloaked Legion.

 

So, Meng Jia nodded and said. “Good. In that case, it will depend on how all of you coordinate with me when the time comes. If we can defeat their team, I might consider letting you be my regular teammates for a longer period of time and even recommend you to join the Blood Cloaked Legion as logistics personnel.”

 

Meng Jia’s casual remark immediately delighted Jiang Fengyun and the others! After all, once they entered the Blood Cloaked Legion, their backing would be Dragon Country itself!

 

Moreover, logistics personnel did not have to go to the battlefield, which was a coveted position that everyone desired, but few could obtain!

 

“Rest assured, Brother Meng!” Jiang Fengyun immediately patted his chest and said, “Previously, I had absolutely no confidence in defeating Lu Fan and his team. But now with you in our team, I have some confidence that we can take on Lu Fan’s team!”

 

“We’re all first-year freshmen. He’s just someone who managed to get a powerful Hidden Profession, how strong could he really be!?” Jiang Fengyun’s words made Xu Jing and the other two excited.

 

Because of Meng Jia’s presence, they had completely forgotten how Lu Fan had once effortlessly crushed the entire Wind Cloud Pavilion.

 

On the other hand, Lu Fan and his group naturally did not know that Meng Jia’s team was discussing about them.

 

Soon, a teacher brought the second round’s draw, directing them to a designated Arena to compete against another team that had won in the previous round.

 

This time, the team Lu Fan drew was slightly stronger than the last round’s team, with two Second Profession Players.

 

However, for Lu Fan’s team, they still were not opponents worth taking seriously.

 

Lu Fan and Jian Ying still did not make a move, letting Tao Xiaoman single-handedly confront the five opponents.

 

The opponents this time did not have as good a temper as the previous team. Although they knew it was normal for Lu Fan to not take action to fight against them, having only Tao Xiaoman face them 5V1 still angered them.

 

But their anger meant nothing, It was directly extinguished by Tao Xiaoman.

 

In just five minutes, Tao Xiaoman knocked all five off the platform, causing them to lose.

 

Although they were dissatisfied with Lu Fan and his team looking down on them, they could not deny they were truly outmatched. In the end, they did not even accept Tao Xiaoman’s offer to Heal them before they resentfully left the Arena.

 

Over the next day, Lu Fan’s group competed against four teams.

 

These four teams grew progressively stronger, but Tao Xiaoman and Qin Qiu would easily defeat them.

 

From start to finish, forget about Lu Fan, even Jian Ying did not need to take action, allowing them to easily progress.

 

The final exam lasted two days in total before gradually approaching its end.

 

Whether it was intentionally arranged by the teachers or truly coincidental, Lu Fan never encountered Meng Jia’s team from beginning to end.

 

Therefore, Lu Fan never met any worthy opponents, and Tao Xiaoman and Qin Qiu alone progressed all the way through – with Jian Ying and Lu Fan not doing anything.

 

Lu Fan simply regarded these matches as valuable opportunities for the two girls to practice. He did not intervene in any of the matches.
