489: Chapter 69: Master of Daoist Skill, Sword Master_2 489: Chapter 69: Master of Daoist Skill, Sword Master_2 Other games may allow for trial and error, resulting in anyone with determination and energy eventually becoming a master.

But this game, being far too dangerous, leads most players to avoid taking risks, which often suppresses their abilities.

Little White Dragon’s actions kind of made sense, but if you’re going to risk your life to challenge the limits, death is naturally unavoidable.

It’s just a case of not being able to have your cake and eat it too.

While they were chatting, the conversation between Little White Dragon and Hidden Dragon Do Not Use suddenly heated up.

“You’re recklessly endangering lives!”

“Oh come on, I didn’t force them, it’s all voluntary.

Besides, how would we know how strong we really are if we don’t take risks?

Didn’t people die when you led the group before?”

The people in the hall immediately looked over.

Everyone stopped talking and listened intently.

The argument between the former and current guild leader did stir some wild thoughts.

“That was an accident.”

“What accident?

If everyone doesn’t continue to grow, it’s just a matter of time.

You can’t always protect them, besides, you’re not the leader anymore.”

“…Little White Dragon, I know you have your reasons, but I hope at least you can ensure safety as much as possible.”

“I can’t guarantee that, nowhere in the world can you find such perfect assurance.

I can only say I’d never force everyone into death recklessly, even if we take risks, it’s voluntary.

Plus, I’ll try to ensure most people survive and gain substantial benefits…”

Looking at the debate, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Indeed, ideological conflicts are inevitable.

However, this was something for the guild’s top management to headache about.

Besides, he was going to leave soon; there was no need for him to get involved.

At that moment, Little White Dragon noticed Xiao Jie.

“Brother Sui Feng—oh, you’re Level 27 already?

Your speed is too fast.

It seems that I have to call you Feng from now on.”

“Haha, Brother Little White, you’re too polite; there’s no need for formalities.”

In the game, brotherhood was determined not by age but by level and strength.

Originally, Xiao Jie was one of the less experienced members in the group, but now he had advanced to the first rank.

“Alright, Brother it is.

By the way, Feng, your leveling speed is too fast, any tips?”

“Nothing special, just taking risks.”

“Hahaha, well said!

Great truth in simple words.”

His remark was clearly for Hidden Dragon Do Not Use to hear.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use said nothing more.

After some more casual talk, Little White Dragon said, “Recently, I’ve led the group to clear all the external strongholds of Black Wind Village.

Next, we’re gearing up to go after the main stronghold.

It’s good you’ve returned; we’ll need your strength.”

“Uh, I was just about to talk to you about this.

I might not be able to stay long.

I need to head to Ghost Mist Ridge for leveling tomorrow, ran into some trouble recently, need to hit Level 30 as soon as possible.”

“You’ve met the advancement requirements?” Bai Ze was the quickest to respond.

“Yeah, I did a quest earlier and unlocked the Level 30 advanced profession.”

“Damn, that’s awesome.

I still haven’t figured out my Sword Master yet.

You’ve got to help me this time, Feng.

Remember what we talked about when you left.”

When Xiao Jie left, Bai Ze had asked for his help to meet the Sword Master’s transfer requirements.

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: “Of course, no problem.

But I can’t stay much longer; if you need my help, you’ll probably have to come with me.”

He said this not on a whim but after realizing during his campaign in Canglin State that you don’t necessarily need many people to fight a Boss.

If the players are strong enough, five are actually enough.

Of course, the premise must be that each member is elite and only taking on Low-level Bosses to be safe.

Thus Xiao Jie had thought about forming his own small team.

Although he already had Ye Luo and I Want to Be Immortal, three people were still too few; he needed at least five.

This is also the smallest unit size for an adventure team in most games.

Like An Ran’s five-person team, fighting Low-level Bosses is pretty good, but the downside is not being able to challenge very powerful Bosses, especially Boss-level Bosses, as even the Little Monsters are troublesome enough.

The advantage is there’s no need to split profits; the returns are entirely under their control.

Such a small team naturally focuses on quality over quantity, with no more than five eligible members in the Luoyang Branch.

Both Dida La and Bai Ze, the Master of Magics, were included.

Bai Ze said, “No problem.”

Upon hearing this, Dida La immediately became anxious: “Are you guys going solo?

Count me in?”

Before Xiao Jie could even respond, Little White Dragon voiced his displeasure.

“Darn it, you guys come back and it’s one thing not helping with the group, but now you want to poach my members?

No way, absolutely not.

I, as the captain of Luoyang, command that you two cannot leave; you must stay with the group.”

As they say, ‘whoever accepts a person’s pay is beholden to their commands;’ now that they were core members and had reaped the benefits, it was naturally time to take responsibility for the team.

Dida La was helpless.

Bai Ze, however, said: “That’s not entirely correct.

I’m not a core member, so it’s not really poaching, is it?”

“That still won’t work.

Our Luoyang Branch has only two Masters of Magic.

If you take one away, how are we supposed to proceed with our activities?”

Xiao Jie smiled slightly.

“Isn’t Hao Ye Xinghe here?

Turns out I helped him with his transfer too.

Taking one but giving one in return; you’re not at a loss.”
