k down from your provocation.
I, Ye Tianlang, accept your challenge!” A tall, stoic team leader strode forward.
He had been one of the most outspoken of the team leaders against Zhang Lie.

Among the troops, he was known to be the strictest of the team leaders, both to his subordinates and to himself.

“Right, it would be dishonorable to back down now.
Count me in! Just because you're a strong opponent doesn't mean that we'll back down.
We'll fight!” Ye Tianlang's words spurred the other team leaders to action.
They had to fight—as special forces troops, they couldn't back down and hadn't ever backed down because of fear.

Zhang Lie had more or less anticipated this situation.
After all, they were members of the special forces; if this display of strength was enough to cause them to back down, Zhang Lie really would have looked down upon them.

So, what surprises would the six of them have in store for him?

“As expected of the special forces of Qi! I'll cede you the first attack,” he offered.

The five team leaders shot toward Zhang Lie while Zhou Ming shook his head, sighed, and headed back to his team.
As the hunter who best understood Zhang Lie's present strength among them all, he didn't think the gathered team leaders had a chance of victory.
Just from the strength of his one technique alone, it was evident that he was in a different realm of strength entirely.

Perhaps the five team leaders' formation could temporarily fend him off, but not for long.
Furthermore, Zhang Lie hadn't truly attacked him.
All he had done was stomp on the ground and cause a dark tablet to fall from the skies, but that alone was sufficient to render him immobile and the spectators kneeling…

As the champion of the Void Cup, Zhang Lie was known for [The Boundless Blade], and what he had displayed was only a thin sliver of his true strength.
From his perspective, the five team leaders had already lost.
Nevertheless, it would be impossible to dissuade them from continuing to fight, because Ye Tianlang had made this a question of the special forces' honor.

If he were to try to dissuade them now, he would be mocked for disgracing the special forces' courage.

In the makeshift arena, the five team leaders' faces were all tinged with some embarrassment.
Faced with Zhang Lie's youthful appearance, they were reminded very clearly of the fact that they were essentially teaming up against a newcomer.

Sensing their discomfort, Zhang Lie hastily stepped forward and exclaimed, “Don't be shy, and don't hold back—if you don't use everything you've got, you might just suffer an ignominious defeat!”
