?
Hearing Ye Qingdai's words, shock appeared on everyone's faces.
Even Commander Zhang was no exception.
He asked incredulously, "You lost too? In just one minute?"
Ye Qingdai nodded. "He's too strong—so strong that he's practically invincible."
Commander Zhang asked, "Did you manage to make him reveal his ability?"
"Mhm," Ye Qingdai nodded.
"What is his ability?" Yun Xianghan, Chen Qiulian, Zhao Yun'er, Xu Changqing, and the others all looked over to ask.
Ye Qingdai smiled. "Want to know? Sure. Trade me three first-class military merits, and I'll tell you."
"Three first-class military merits? You just bought information from them for only five Red Pills! You're way too greedy! A single first-class military merit can be exchanged for ten Red Pills!" Zhao Yun'er and the others shot Ye Qingdai looks of contempt.
Ye Qingdai replied calmly, "The first team didn't even manage to test out his ability. Their information is basically useless. As long as you make this trade with me, I'll even throw in the information they gave me for free. Their intel isn't worth a damn anyway!"
Yun Xianghan looked at the group and said, "Three first-class military merits? Getting just one is hard enough, let alone three. Regardless, our team only has one, so I can't afford this information. You guys probably can't either, right?"
"Our team only has one as well," Zhao Yun'er chimed in.
Xia Bingbing and Chen Qiulian said, "Our team doesn't have any first-class military merits at all, though we do have five second-class ones."
Yun Xianghan turned to Ye Qingdai. "See? It's not that we don't want to buy it, it's that we completely can't afford it. You'll have to lower the price, or else it just won't sell!"
Ye Qingdai dismissed this unconcernedly. "If it doesn't sell, I'll take it to the grave! After all, since we lost, we have to follow Liu Yang and join his base. We won't have another chance to earn military merits in the Flying Eagle Organization. Naturally, such precious information needs to fetch a good price!
"It's understandable that you won't buy it. After all, even with this intel, you might not necessarily defeat him. At most, it'll bump your chances of winning up to twenty percent. If you don't buy it, your chances are zero. Honestly, I'd advise you all to just give up now!"
Yun Xianghan and the others looked troubled. They truly couldn't afford it; three first-class military merits were completely out of reach. But if they didn't buy it, they really had no chance of winning.
Their teams were roughly equal in strength to Ye Qingdai's. Since Ye Qingdai's team had been instantly wiped out, they figured their own teams wouldn't fare much better.
Moreover, this was an opportunity to clash with the number one on the Heaven Ranking—perhaps the only opportunity of their lifetimes!
If they successfully defeated Liu Yang, every team member would be awarded a special-class military merit and a one-rank promotion. The temptation was simply too immense!
Anguish and reluctance flickered across their faces.
"I'll buy this information!" a cold voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked over to find that the speaker was none other than Xu Changqing, ranked 8th on the Heaven Ranking!
A smile bloomed on Ye Qingdai's face. "As expected of Team 0's captain! Rumor has it that the top ten on the Heaven Ranking are all roughly equal in strength. Today, we'll see if that rumor holds true!"
Xu Changqing stated, "Tell me the intel."
Ye Qingdai nodded and whispered into Xu Changqing's ear:
"The information the first team gathered suggests his base stats are at least ten times that of a normal person. However, he didn't use raw stats to crush us during our fight, so I can't confirm if that's true or not. You'll have to judge for yourself.
"What I can confirm is that he has a telekinesis ability. It might specifically be ice manipulation, since we were instantly wiped out by ice needles he controlled. But it's also possible he can manipulate any object, and he just prefers ice needles. I'm not certain of the specifics.
"He launches attacks out of thin air, and he's incredibly fast. Before I could even react, we were defeated in an instant."
Hearing Ye Qingdai's explanation, Xu Changqing frowned deeply.
Telekinesis?
That was definitely a top-tier ability...
He just didn't know the exact limits of Liu Yang's control.
There was also an ability user in the Flying Eagle Organization who could manipulate stones, but he was only on the Earth Ranking.
He could control small pebbles on the ground to attack enemies, shooting them out like bullets, but his maximum range was only fifty meters.
Furthermore, every time he attacked with a few stones, he needed a long time to recover his mental energy. It was a massive flaw.
Due to such a glaring weakness, he was only ranked in the 800s on the Earth Ranking.
Could Liu Yang's telekinesis be vastly superior?
Pondering Ye Qingdai's words, the frown on Xu Changqing's normally stoic and unsmiling face deepened.
He was always expressionless, but for the first time, he revealed a troubled look in front of everyone.
Finally, he turned to the crowd. "I've purchased the intel on Liu Yang's ability from Ye Qingdai. If anyone wants to know, I can share it with you for free.
"But on one condition: after you go in and fight him, you must also share whatever new information you gather with me for free! Does anyone want the intel so they can go in and challenge him?"
Everyone looked shocked.
This meant Xu Changqing was afraid!
Even with the intel on Liu Yang's ability, he still didn't dare to step in and challenge him directly. Instead, he wanted others to act as guinea pigs to gather more information for him!
Even Xu Changqing—ranked 8th on the Heaven Ranking, Captain of Team 0, and the pride of the Flying Eagle Organization—was afraid?
Just what kind of terrifying ability did this Liu Yang possess to have such an intimidating presence?
Everyone grew even more curious about Liu Yang's true strength.
However, curiosity was just curiosity.
The Earth Ranking teams present had long since abandoned any thoughts of issuing a challenge.
After all, since Ye Qingdai's Heaven Ranking squad had been demolished in under a minute, what point was there for the Earth Ranking teams to try?
Going in would just mean an instant defeat!
The only ones still harboring any ambitions were the few remaining Heaven Ranking teams.
After hesitating for a long while, Yun Xianghan finally gritted her teeth. "I'll do it. Tell me the intel! After my fight, I'll share whatever new information I learn!"
So, Xu Changqing relayed the information about Liu Yang to Yun Xianghan.
With that, Yun Xianghan led her team into the training grounds.
Inside, Liu Yang had been waiting for quite some time!
When he saw Yun Xianghan bring her squad in, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
He almost felt like he wasn't waiting for sparring partners, but rather hosting a beauty pageant.
Here was yet another stunning beauty walking through the doors.
Looking at Yun Xianghan's flawless face, Liu Yang couldn't help but marvel inwardly:
What an aloof beauty!
Not only is her face gorgeous, but she has a tall and voluptuous figure. Although she isn't quite as large as Ye Qingdai up top, her body proportions are incredibly exquisite!
The exact definition of neither too big nor too small—just right!
Especially that icy, aloof expression. It easily sparks a man's desire to conquer!
With a woman this cold and aloof, seeing her beg for mercy in bed would be quite the contrast, wouldn't it?
