Cultivation Online

Chapter 1462 Fewer Than Anticipated

1462 Fewer Than Anticipated

After leaving the airport, Yuan and the others ventured to the food court, a bustling hub housing over a hundred restaurants offering diverse cuisines from around the world.

However, before they left the airport, Yuan handed everyone there an appearance-altering pill to hide their identity, as Yuan had learned his lesson several days ago and didn’t want to be recognized.

Upon arriving at the food court, spent nearly an hour exploring the place before finally settling on a steakhouse.

Half an hour into their dining, Yuan received a text message notifying him of her arrival.

[We have arrived at the Great Battlefield.]

Yuan responded with their location.

[We’re currently dining in the food court at Spirit Steakhouse.]

[We will be there shortly.]

“They have landed and will be coming here,” Yuan said to the others as they savored the juicy steaks before them.

An hour later, Meifeng showed up with the Demon Sealing Faction—at least those who planned on participating in the Faction War.

By the time Meifeng showed up, Yuan and the others had already finished eating and were waiting for them outside the restaurant. Of course, he told her about their disguise.

“This is everyone?” Yuan stared at Meifeng and her group with a raised eyebrow.

“I’m sorry, Young Master, but the others haven’t logged off Cultivation Online…” Meifeng sighed.

“…”

Yuan silently looked at the members who had followed Meifeng.

There was Wang Bingbing, Shi Lang, and Wu Zao. Three people in total.

“Seriously? You’re going to fight the Fiery Locust Swarm with this many people?” Bai Lianhua was speechless.

Yuan nodded, “Although this is fewer than I’d anticipated, four is more than enough. If I could, I would even fight them alone.”

“What do you mean four, Young Master? I am also participating, you know.” Meifeng suddenly said.

“Huh? You really don’t have to, Miss Meifeng. I don’t want you to feel like you need to fight for us. After all, you’re already doing enough as our caretaker and manager.”

“Nonsense. If you’re worried about me—that I cannot fight— allow me to remind you who taught Meixiu how to fight. That’s right, it was me.”

Yuan showed a bittersweet smile and said, “That’s not it, Miss Meifeng. I am not doubting your ability in combat. I just thought you wouldn’t be interested in something like Faction Wars.”

“Now, why would you assume that? I have been anticipating the day we participated in one since I started studying about factions. In fact, if you hadn’t brought it up, I would’ve mentioned it sooner or later.” Meifeng responded with a slight smile.

“I-is that so…” Yuan was speechless.

“Anyway, while I said that, I shall take the role of ‘ruler’ during the Faction War since I have the lowest cultivation base among us,” she said.

Yuan nodded, “Okay. By the way, we still have some time before the Faction War. You should grab some food here before then.”

“It’s okay, we ate on the flight here. We should take this time to plan for the Faction War.” Wang Bingbing said.

“Plan? Do we really need a plan?” Yuan asked.

“Of course… How else are we going to deal with 40,000 people with just the five of us?”

Yuan then said, “I was going to let you guys have some fun before I step in.”

“Let us have some fun…? How confident are you in defeating them? I know you’re strong enough to kill all of them in a real fight, but we cannot harm them too much in a Faction War.” Wu Zao asked.

“I am aware. Don’t worry about winning or how I’ll deal with them. Just enjoy your own battle.”

Meifeng then said, “I have watched all of their previous matches. They won’t send all of their members at once and will probably try to drag it out.”

“Why don’t we talk elsewhere? Preferably somewhere quieter.” Shi Lang said.

They left the food court and went to a nearby park. Although the place was also crowded, it wasn’t as noisy as the food court.

“Like I was saying, the Fiery Locust Swarm most likely won’t try to finish the Faction War too quickly, so they’ll send their members slowly. After all, they have plenty of people to spare, and the spectators would crucify them for ending it so soon.” Meifeng said.

“That makes sense.” Yuan nodded and continued, “Moreover, they’re working for Fiery Queen. She’ll definitely use this chance to humiliate me as revenge for what I did to her in Cultivation Online.”

He turned to look at Wang Bingbing and the others and said, “Just consider this Faction War as part of your training. In fact, let’s make this into a little game.”

“Excluding me, whoever gets the most ‘kills’ during the Faction War will receive an Ancient-rank martial technique from me.”

Wang Bingbing’s eyes flickered with excitement after hearing this, and she asked, “Is that it? No restrictions?”

He shook his head.

“Do you have any Ancient-rank martial techniques for a fan wielder like me?” Wu Zao asked.

“Of course.”

“What about me? I won’t be able to fight as the ruler.” Meifeng said.

Yuan smiled and said, “If you want any specific technique, just let me know.”

“Do you have any spear techniques?”

“Oh? You’ve decided to use the spear?”

She nodded, “It was either the spear or the staff since I spent a lot of time wielding a broom and mop.”

“Y-you decided your weapon based on that?” Yuan looked at her with wide eyes.

She merely nodded with a slight smile.

Sometime later, Yuan received a phone call from Chairman Lee.

“Have you guys arrived at the Great Battlefield yet?” Chairman Lee asked.

“Yes.”

“Can you start making your way to Arena One? I will give you a quick briefing before the Faction War begins.”

“Alright, we will start heading there now.”

“Then I will see you soon.”

After hanging up, Yuan and the others started making their way to Arena One, which also happens to be the largest arena on the island.
