Xiaobei heard their reminder, chuckled softly, and said, "Don't worry, soldiers will face the attackers and water will stop the floods. No matter what plans they have, we'll just handle it!"

After saying this, Xiaobei looked at Zheng Long and said, "Zheng Long, when you were throwing punches before, your speed was fierce, but your True Qi flow wasn't very smooth. Did you notice that?"

Hearing Xiaobei's question, Zheng Long thought carefully for a moment and then slowly nodded.

The reason he nodded was because he realized that Xiaobei was right.

"Captain, how... how did you find out? I... I never noticed it before," he said, looking at Xiaobei with great astonishment.

Because the point Xiaobei mentioned was something he really hadn't paid attention to before...

Seeing Zheng Long's nervous inquiry, both Hai Tianshao and Qu Yan also looked at Xiaobei.

They also wanted to know how Xiaobei noticed it...

They wanted to know even more if they had similar unnoticed problems...

Feeling his worry, Xiaobei spoke, "No need to be too nervous. The problem isn't too serious!"

After saying this, Xiaobei smiled and quickly continued, "You've probably been exerting force with your right arm quite often, haven't you? Constant use has trained this arm, but it's also caused it some damage. As a result, the flow of True Qi has become a bit unsmooth."

Upon hearing Xiaobei point out the problem, he tried to circulate the Nine Wood True Qi once more.

This time, Zheng Long clearly sensed the issue...

Taking a deep, nervous breath, he looked at Xiaobei and quickly asked, "Captain, is there a way to solve this problem?"

With a smile, Xiaobei confidently replied, "Of course! Every problem has a solution, and this one is no exception!"

"Great! Great! Great! So... what should I do now?"

Noticing Zheng Long's anxiety and urgency, Xiaobei smiled and said, "The problem isn't particularly severe, no need to be too tense. Once everything is over, I'll help treat you properly. Rest assured, I won't run away!"

Hearing Xiaobei's slightly teasing tone, Zheng Long awkwardly rubbed his nose!

He realized he was indeed a bit impatient just now...

Understanding this, he took a deep breath and said nothing more.

As Zheng Long calmed down, Hai Tianshao and Qu Yan rubbed their hands, wanting to speak.

Xiaobei knew them very well, so he softly spoke up before they could say anything.

"I know what you want to say. Once everything is over, I'll take a good look at both of you and try to repair any damage to your bodies."

"Okay!"

They eagerly nodded in agreement...

They realized that they were too eager for progress before.

As a result, their bodies indeed suffered some trauma...

Because of this, they needed proper restoration now...

After thoroughly discussing things with them, Xiaobei quietly glanced at Gu Zhentian and the others.

Soon, he looked towards the distance with some excitement...

He faintly sensed a familiar stirring sensation again.

He knew that something around here was truly attracting him, but even now, Xiaobei didn't know what exactly was drawing him in…

If possible, Xiaobei really wanted to sneak over and take a look, but he knew he couldn't, so he could only suppress his curiosity for now...

...

Five minutes later, Xiaobei and his group arrived at the Hero Platform located at the very center of the Inner Valley…

They had already known Xiaobei and the others would come, so they had been waiting early on...

No one dared say anything upon Xiaobei and the others' arrival.

Because before Zheng Long had flexed his skill in front of everyone...

Gu Zhentian walked to the center of the Hero Platform, gently clapped his hands to get everyone's attention, and then squinted his eyes, softly saying, "You guys are four; we are four as well, so let's do one-on-one for the next round! What do you think?"

Hearing Gu Zhentian's claim of the rules, Xiaobei lightly waved his hand, "We have no objections!"

Upon receiving the response, Gu Zhentian gently nodded, "Alright! Since you have no objections, that's settled. Whether it's you or us who win, you'll receive more resource allocation! So I hope you give it your all next time."

"That point, you don't need to mention, we already know."

"Good then!"

After saying this, Gu Zhentian lightly waved his hand, and suddenly, Gu Miedi, Gu Youran, and Gu Kuangren walked over to his side…

Seeing this, Xiaobei quickly gestured with his hand as well…

Hai Tianshao, Zheng Long, and Qu Yan, who had been waiting impatiently, saw Xiaobei's gesture and quickly walked to his side…

In an instant, eight people stood facing each other sharply…

Everyone below the platform saw this scene and silently held their breath…

They knew that in a moment, it would be like Mars colliding with Earth…

Before, when seeing such a situation, they would have surely believed that Gu Zhentian's side would win.

But now, they weren't so sure because the strength of these four people from the Hidden Family was truly extraordinary.

...

A young man on the scene became tense due to the atmosphere...

Breathing nervously, he looked around at the similarly tense people and whispered, "Who do you think will win?"

"I don't know!"

"I don't know either!"

"Me neither!"

Everyone shook their heads vigorously when they heard the inquiry…

They really couldn't say who would win…

Because it seemed like everyone had a chance…

...

"For the first round, we..."

Just as they were about to send someone for the first match, Gu Zhentian suddenly felt a wave of restless energy coming from behind...

Reflexively, Gu Zhentian turned his head.

At that moment, he saw terrifying black clouds rising from a nearby courtyard…

"What... what's going on?"

Utterly surprised, Gu Zhentian suddenly recalled that the family's elders had been arranging formations in the problematic courtyard to gather that pure Spiritual Energy.

"Could it be... is there a complicated problem?"

Thinking of this, Gu Zhentian nervously looked at his other three companions and found them as tense as he was…

"No, I have to find out what's happening!"

With this in mind, Gu Zhentian looked at Xiaobei and the others, saying, "It seems like there's a problem on our side, so I'll have someone lead you to rest first. Let's postpone our duel for now!"

"Sure! No objections from me!"

Xiaobei agreed without hesitation…

At that moment, Xiaobei was really excited.

Because he knew he finally had the time to stealthily follow and see what was happening…

...

"Captain, what's going on here? Why did they suddenly leave in a hurry?"

After the four quickly departed, Hai Tianshao approached and curiously asked.

Glancing at them, Xiaobei squinted slightly and softly said, "I don't know what exactly is going on either? But I know something significant must've happened, or they wouldn't have left in such a rush..."

"True! So what should we do now?"

"What should we do? We'll just watch and wait!"

After saying this, upon hearing footsteps, Xiaobei turned his head and saw a few people from The Valley of the Wicked walking over actively...
