Picking a Fight

"Che, which mission should we choose? Today is Meng Xu's first day on a mission. Let's do something simple. What do you say?"

Everyone was selecting missions one after another. When Yun Che returned to Peak Squad, they went up to the mission panel together. The people around all said hello to them warmly while making way for them involuntarily. As Yun Che had once said, they were unique. A copycat would never surpass the team it tried to imitate. Those squads, like Doomsday Shura, wouldn't have this kind of respect from others.

"Isn't this Peak Squad, which always ranks the second? Which insignificant mission are you going to take today?"

A sarcastic voice sounded all of a sudden. The people around looked over and found a dozen people walking over. Yun Che, who just came to the mission panel, glanced over, and Zhou Zeyu whispered to him, "That's Doomsday Shura. The captain is Luo Huai, a third-grade fire superfunction possessor. And the man who just spoke is Tao Cheng, a space superfunction possessor. Don't get deceived by his masculine figure. I can crush him with two fingers."

"As a wind superfunction possessor, don't you feel a little bit embarrassed for bragging about crushing a space superfunction possessor?"

Yun Che shot Zhou a despising glance as he shook his head and turned to leave. Zhou Zeyu argued, "What's there to be embarrassed for? At least I get to make his annoying voice disappear."

In Zhou Zeyu's dictionary, there was no such word as "embarrassed". But his teammates all agreed with him this time, as nobody would like to listen to that man's annoying voice.

"Well, go ahead and do it, young man."

With a chuckle, Yun Che patted on Zhou's shoulder as he said. And then, he looked at the mission panel, trying to find a simple mission that would allow him to return home before the midnight. He loved to stay at home, so he would like to avoid any long trips if possible.

Yun Che had ignored those people, and so had the other members of his squad. Having walked close, every one of Doomsday Shura felt embarrassed, especially Tao Cheng, who had just mocked Peak Squad. All the superfunction possessors around laughed secretly, "Well, Peak Squad has slapped this man in the face with silence, and it must hurt very much."

"Look, there are another two pretty faces. What can you do with your fragile figures? Are you going to volunteer to be the dinner of zombies?"

Doomsday Shura soared up to the top three shortly after they got registered, which gave its members every reason to be proud. Having been humiliated in public, of course they wouldn't just let it go. However, as soon as Tao Cheng finished, the onlookers all stepped backwards silently. One of the two pretty faces he talked about was the captain of Peak Squad. Once in this hall, he had destroyed the entire Xiangyang Squad all by himself. He had slapped that team in the face many times, and it still hurt. Tao Cheng was digging his own grave to mess with him.

"Haha… Master, this buddy has good taste. You and Meng Xu are indeed pretty, but what does it have to do with being the dinner of zombies? Will zombies be jealous of your handsome appearances? In that case, you should be careful. Unlike some ugly people, everyone in our Peak Squad has an outstanding look. We don't want to attract zombies' attention, do we?"

"Haha!"

Heiyu, lying on Yun Che's shoulder on his stomach, finally got a chance to make himself useful. As soon as he finished, the entire Peak Squad burst out laughing, despite the sullen looks of the members of Doomsday Shura. The onlookers who had seen him mock people before laughed as well, and those who hadn't stared at him curiously. Though he had become famous in the base because of the last mission, for many people, this was the first time they had met him in person, a dog that could speak the human language.

"How dare you…"

Those "ugly people" he referred to were outraged. However, when Tao Cheng was about to pounce over, his captain, Luo Huai, raised his hand to stop him. He turned his gaze from Heiyu to Yun Che, "Captain Yun, it's an honor to meet you."

This was generally a polite and respectful remark, but Luo Huai's tone was dripping with hostility. All the onlookers, whether laughing secretly or being curious, started to fix their gazes on Yun Che.

"Who are you?"

Yun Che ignored the hand that had been reached out for a handshake and looked at Luo Huai with puzzlement. Failing to remain calm, Luo Huai stiffened slightly before he drew his hand back awkwardly. Tao Cheng, who had been stopped by him just now, rushed forward all of a sudden, "Look who we've got here? The captain of the loser team! Do you really think you're the base commander?"

"Well, if the team ranks the second is a loser team, what do you call the team always ranks the third?"

"Haha… Che, you're a genius."

One minute ago, he acted like he didn't know these people at all, but now he just pointed out the rank of their squad, which was telling them explicitly that he was humiliating them on purpose because he didn't like them. Noticing that they were all gritting teeth out of anger, Zhou Zeyu couldn't help but laugh again. Some of the squads bullied by Doomsday Shura before were also secretly grateful to Peak Squad for taking revenge for them.

"You… We'll defeat you soon!"

Tao Cheng pointed at Yun Che angrily as he said in a furious tone. Yun Che looked away and adjusted his clothes, "With what? You, a space superfunction possessor? Well, I'm curious. When did a space superfunction possessor begin to have combat power? If you wish to defeat me, you'll have to go back to your mother's womb and get reborn."

Yun Che said in a soft and flat tone, but each word was dripping with sarcasm, which made Tao Cheng trembled out of anger.

"Do you have the guts to take a one-on-one fight with me without using your superfunction?"

This man must have been carried away by rage. Thinking that he had a strong physique, Tao Cheng challenged Yun Che to have a physical combat with him.

"Boo…"

After a short while in silence, the people in the hall booed one after another. How shameless he was to say that! As a man with a strong figure of more than 180 centimeters, didn't he feel embarrassed when he picked a fight with Yun Che, who was much shorter and slimmer?

"Tao Cheng…"

"Come on, man! I'm not that stupid. Why should I use physical strength to fight with you when I have superfunction?"

Luo Huai tried to stop Tao Cheng, but Yun Che interrupted him. After a short while, Yun Che continued, "You're just an average superfunction possessor, while I'm the captain of Peak Squad. If I beat the hell out of you, people are gonna say that I bully you; but if I refuse to accept your challenge, some might think I'm afraid of you. How about this? This is the space superfunction possessor on my team. He's a rookie, and this is his first day on a mission. Why don't you two have a match with each other?"

Yun Che was referring to nobody but Meng Xu, whose eyes had just healed. And also, his injured leg had been fixed by Xiu Jie. In other words, he was already in full recovery at present. Before others could respond, all members of Peak Squad stared at him, as they couldn't believe he would try to trick that man into fighting against Meng Xu, who was a dual-attribute superfunction possessor. This was indeed a dirty move.

"Him?"

Ignoring his captain's warning glance, Tao Cheng glanced at Meng Xu, who appeared to be weaker than Yun Che, with contempt. Though both of them were space superfunction possessors, he believed dealing with this sick chicken would be as easy as trampling on an ant.

"Yeah, it's him. If you can defeat him, you can do whatever you want about him. The fight will be no boundaries. You can kill him if you have the ability to do so, and vice versa. How does it sound to you? Do you have the guts to fight against him?"

Yun Che responded as he nodded with a smile, as if he didn't care about the safety of his team member at all. Knowing that their captain was trying to scheme that man, the entire Peak Squad humored him by faking a frowning look to pretend that they disapproved of this.

"No problem."

"Wait!"

Tao Cheng accepted the challenge without hesitation as he believed that he would be the one to win, but Luo Huai stopped Tao Cheng, fixing his gaze on Yun Che. According to the intel they had, Yun Che wasn't someone that didn't care about his team members, which indicated that he wouldn't have suggested a fight if he hadn't been certain that his man would win. It would be unwise for them to accept the challenge.

"What, Captain?"

Tao Cheng turned around impatiently, as he saw this as an opportunity to get rid of the space superfunction possessor on their rival team. Though words had it that Yun Che was also a space superfunction possessor, he seldom went out for mission personally. Without the space superfunction, the missions they could complete would be limited, which would significantly affect their strength.

He seemed to have forgot what Yun Che had mentioned just now. Meng Xu was just a rookie, and this was his first day on a mission, so what did he have to do with how powerful Peak Squad had been? Besides, when did Yun Che ever strike him as someone who would screw his own man on purpose?

"A fight to the death isn't allowed in the base."

Luo Huai turned his gaze from Yun Che to Tao Cheng and said, implying that he didn't want Tao Cheng to fight against the space superfunction of Peak Squad. Unfortunately, Tao Cheng had been carried away by rage, and there was no way to talk him down.

"In that case, we'll fight outside the base."

In other words, he had made up his mind to accept this challenge no matter what.

Frowning, Luo Huai looked at his other team members, who were all itching to try. He glanced at Yun Che, pondering. This was a fight between two space superfunction possessors. When they wanted to take this opportunity to kill the space superfunction possessor on their rival team, Peak Squad must be thinking about the same thing. Otherwise, Yun Che wouldn't have proposed this fight. However, now that all his team members had been provoked by Yun Che, forcing them to turn down the challenge would be harmful to his leadership.

"They can just have a match, but they don't have to fight to the death. Don't be overdramatic, Captain Yun."

Luo Huai knew he could not stop the fight, but he didn't want to lose his space superfunction. Therefore, he tried to turn the to-the-death fight into a friendly match. Besides, they just wanted to humiliate Peak Squad, and there was no point in killing Meng Xu when Yun Che was a space superfunction possessor himself.

"Whenever there's a fight, there could be death, not to mention that this is a fight between two superfunction possessors. We should consider all the possibilities. If we don't clarify this in advance, what are we going to do when either of them ends up dead during the fight?"

Yun Che found these people hilarious. He did say that the fight would be no boundaries, which meant they could kill each other if they were capable of, but he didn't order them to do so. These people invented the fight-to-death idea in their own heads, which suggested that they must be wanting to get rid of his space superfunction badly. Of course, Yun Che wouldn't admit that deep down in his heart, he wanted to get rid of the space superfunction of Doomsday Shura, too. Even the military didn't have enough space superfunction possessors; otherwise, Tao something wouldn't be so arrogant.

The more Yun Che tried to make himself sound convincing; the more Luo Huai believed he was up to something. He really wanted to stop this fight from happening, but his team members were all outraged, wishing to go around him and accept the challenge immediately.

"What a stupid ass Tao Cheng is!"

The captain of Overlord Girls, Feng Xinlan, cursed in a low voice in the crowd. Yun Che was trying to take this opportunity to get rid of him, and he just couldn't wait to jump into the trap. Well, Luo Huai had been put into a difficult position. If he said yes, they would be walking right into Yun Che's trap, and they could lose their space superfunction; but if he said no, it would be humiliating, and all the other superfunction possessors would look down upon him.
