"Are you crazy?" Jie Su whispered anxiously from the side. At this moment, it wasn't a time for pride. They could directly refuse to send someone, even though there was nothing wrong with what Ye Zhongming had said. Everyone knew deep down that this was, in fact, a violation.
Who battles against those inferior to themselves and resorts to such tactics? Even if they win, would the Su Clan gain any face? As long as they seized upon this point, there was still a chance to change the lineup for the Su Clan.
Yao Han Su didn't care about anyone else; he looked at Ye Zhongming. As long as he showed any signs of backing down, Yao Han Su would find a reason to have someone else selected.
"It's fine, let's do this," Ye Zhongming surprisingly rejected everyone's goodwill.
The leader of Ke Lan Su's faction laughed heartily, no longer hiding his delight. He thought to himself that this kid was quite something; the series of actions he had taken had pushed everyone to the point of deciding matters through combat.
But this kid probably didn't realize that the Su Clan wasn't afraid. He was underestimating the Su Clan too much, the leader thought proudly.
Ye Zhongming walked up in front of the assault team and quietly said to these warriors who had sided with him first, "The battle will be tougher than expected, but don't feel any burden. This is your first time using this new combat style, so the outcome doesn't matter. Also, protect yourselves; this isn't a practice within the clan. You can lose, but you can't get hurt."
After saying this, Ye Zhongming gestured to the opposite side, indicating that they could begin, and the hundred members of the Su Clan stood before the Bronze Assault Squad.
Compared to the Star Eye Clan members, their formation was much more scattered. Originally, the experts should have stood at the front, but under Ke Lan Su's orders, they had instead taken positions on the sides and at the back.
Expressions of disdain appeared on the faces of Yao Han Su and the others.
In this advantageous situation, they still had to resort to tactics that would exhaust the opponent first; it was a bit embarrassing. However, Ke Lan Su's faction didn't care as long as they could win.
"Take off your gear," Ye Zhongming suddenly ordered.
The assault team members immediately removed their gear. Seeing this, the Su Clan members also took theirs off.
"Not too foolish after all," the members of the assault team thought. Although their gear was decent, Ye Zhongming hadn’t given them a full upgrade yet. However, the Su Clan, being weaker, still had relatively good equipment compared to other major clans. With the Bronze Assault Squad removing their gear, the Su Clan members naturally felt embarrassed to wear theirs, thus evening the playing field somewhat.
But the leader of Ke Lan Su didn't mind; hard power was the same whether they had gear or not.
The simulation system activated, and both sides found themselves in a real arena.
The Su Clan was a super clan, and their simulation system was much more advanced than that of the Star Eye Clan, providing a better level of realism. Even the spectators watching from the sidelines were brought onto the battlefield.
The Su Clan was the first to move, capitalizing on their advantage; they couldn't afford to let the enemy attack again, or they would feel embarrassed.
"They're moving." Jie Su's focus was not on his own clan members but rather on the Star Eye Clan. He couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the Su Clan warriors charging forward, prompting the Star Eye Clan to react in kind.
The scene was somewhat chaotic; everyone seemed to be moving in different directions. But in the eyes of the Su Clan members, there was a vaguely familiar aspect to it.
In an instant, as the two sides came into contact, the Star Eye warriors at the front of the Su Clan's formation changed direction again, as if a gap had opened up in their ranks, swallowing the Su Clan members whole.
Both sides only held weapons, and the sounds of clashing began immediately.
