Zhang Yang, lost in thought, heard Qi Dalei inquire.
He immediately looked up and sighed.
"I can only stabilize A Tian's current injuries. If we want him to participate in tomorrow's competition, it's definitely impossible. He'll have trouble moving freely tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the last hope of the Dragon Group members was extinguished.
Qi Dalei, filled with unwillingness, clenched his fists, veins bulging.
The methods of the Patrol Division were too dirty.
They actually tampered with their opponents beforehand to secure victory in the competition!
And in the current situation, even if they knew Nan Gongwu was responsible.
They had no concrete evidence. Seeking justice from others would only result in ridicule.
Moreover, this wasn't even the worst part.
A Tian's strength played a crucial role in tomorrow's competition.
If he couldn't participate, the Dragon Group's chances of winning would decrease by at least thirty percent!
Then...
With the decline of one and the rise of another, their chances of winning were even slimmer.
"Zhang Yang, what if I give A Tian the Great Return Pill?" Qi Dalei asked.
"It's unlikely to be of much use. The Great Return Pill is only effective for those on the verge of breaking through the Outer Body Refining realm," Zhang Yang shook his head.
"And even if it were effective, if you give the Great Return Pill to A Tian, who will deal with Nan Gongwu then?"
This...
Qi Dalei fell silent. What Zhang Yang said was not without reason.
It would be like robbing Peter to pay Paul.
But if A Tian couldn't participate.
It would be manageable for the individual matches.
However, in the team competition, they would be extremely passive.
The other Dragon Group members also calmed down, clearly thinking along the same lines as Qi Dalei.
If they lost the competition, then...
At this moment, Xiao Dao suddenly spoke.
"Captain, why don't we borrow someone from the Dragon Group in the neighboring city?"
Qi Dalei glared at Xiao Dao. "You actually thought of that. I can't afford to lose face like that!"
"If we don't borrow someone, what do you suggest? We... sigh," Xiao Dao also sighed as he spoke.
In an instant, the morale of the Dragon Group members plummeted to the bottom.
Clearly, A Tian's injury had dealt them a significant blow.
Zhang Yang, who knew the details of the competition, also looked conflicted.
If strictly speaking.
Zhang Yang himself bore a considerable responsibility for A Tian's qi and blood collapse.
If it weren't for the Dragon Group rescuing him from the Patrol Division, perhaps A Tian wouldn't have clashed with Nan Gongwu last night.
In that case, even if Nan Gongwu wanted to act beforehand, he wouldn't have had the opportunity.
Sigh.
Zhang Yang suddenly sighed.
It seemed he couldn't avoid getting involved in this dispute.
"It's not that there's no way."
In the silent training ground, Zhang Yang's words exploded like thunder from a clear sky.
The previously troubled Dragon Group members all looked towards Zhang Yang.
"Zhang Yang, you've thought of a solution?" Qi Dalei asked with surprise.
He knew that Zhang Yang had a Grandmaster Alchemist behind him, and perhaps there was indeed a pill that could help A Tian.
The other Dragon Group members also looked at Zhang Yang, anticipating his answer.
"No," Zhang Yang said with a wry smile.
"In A Tian's current condition, I can't solve it. However, if you are short of a person for the competition, I can take A Tian's place."
This...
The Dragon Group members exchanged glances.
Was it appropriate?
Although they had witnessed Zhang Yang's skills at the Sheraton Hotel.
They could only say they were average, as they were all ordinary people.
The only one who was formidable was perhaps Old Tang, who was beside Nan Gongting, but he was just an old man who had just entered the Outer Body Refining realm.
People like him were incomparable to them.
If Zhang Yang participated in the competition, it would have little effect.
Moreover, it would make the Dragon Group carry an extra burden, like dragging a dead weight.
Qi Dalei also said helplessly, "Zhang Yang, this is not the time for jokes."
"Captain Qi, I'm very serious, I'm not joking," Zhang Yang replied.
"What, you all don't believe me?"
With that, Zhang Yang looked around at everyone, seeing them force a smile at him.
He couldn't help but feel speechless. He had been hiding his strength all along.
Otherwise, all of you together wouldn't be my match.
"Captain Qi, I can really do it, and I'm also a member of the Dragon Group, so it's reasonable for me to replace A Tian," Zhang Yang said.
He also had some complaints in his heart.
If it weren't for A Tian's matter being related to him, he wouldn't bother with these things.
Xiao Dao, who knew Zhang Yang better, immediately sneered.
"Zhang Yang, we admit your medical skills are very impressive, but this competition is no joke."
"With your physique, among us, besides the injured vice-captain, who else can you defeat?"
Although the other Dragon Group members didn't speak, their expressions clearly indicated they agreed with Xiao Dao.
Zhang Yang burst into laughter.
"Then why don't you find someone to spar with me? I'm really curious how strong you all are."
Zhang Yang's repeated requests seemed somewhat overconfident to the Dragon Group members.
Xiao Dao, who already had a poor impression of Zhang Yang, was the first to step forward.
"If you want to spar, come on. I'll play with you and let you see the might of our Dragon Group!"
"Alright, please," Zhang Yang extended his hand.
The other Dragon Group members tacitly withdrew from the arena, and even A Tian, who was on the arena, was pulled away.
Just as the two were about to fight, Qi Dalei, worried that Xiao Dao might not hold back, quickly called to stop the match.
"Xiao Dao, stop quickly. Since Zhang Yang wants to go, let him," Qi Dalei said.
"Captain, but..." Xiao Dao immediately disagreed.
He finally had a chance to teach Zhang Yang a lesson and naturally didn't want to give it up.
"Xiao Dao, are my words no longer effective?" Qi Dalei asked sternly.
"No," Xiao Dao replied sullenly.
After speaking, he could only cast a resentful glance at Zhang Yang and jump off the arena.
"Take A Tian to the infirmary, and the rest of you continue training."
Qi Dalei patted Xiao Dao's shoulder, gave him instructions, and then left the training ground with Zhang Yang.
"Zhang Yang, if you really want to participate in the competition, I won't stop you."
"But consider it an experience, don't take it too seriously. I'll tell you what to do tomorrow," Qi Dalei said.
In fact, letting Zhang Yang compete was a last resort.
After all, for the team competition, they needed to have twenty people according to the rules.
"Okay, Captain Qi," Zhang Yang chuckled, not feeling annoyed by being underestimated.
After confirming, Qi Dalei parted ways with Zhang Yang.
He also needed to seize the time to take the Great Return Pill and break through his own realm.
Zhang Yang also left the Dragon Group and went to work at the Han Corporation.
Han Corporation.
Zhang Yang arrived at the marketing department.
He found Li Dabai and Gao Xiaohei sitting happily in their chairs, each busy with their own tasks.
Gao Xiaohei was still staring at the computer, doing who knows what.
Li Dabai's phone kept buzzing with WeChat notifications.
"Zhang Yang, you still know how to come to work? It's a good thing Han Wenkang kicked the bucket, otherwise he would have made things difficult for you," Li Dabai said with a laugh.
Gao Xiaohei also smiled honestly from the side, "Brother Zhang, you're here."
Zhang Yang nodded at the two and then pulled up an empty chair to sit down.
"You've heard about Han Wenkang's death too?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.
Li Dabai shrugged.
"The Han family and our family have a generally good relationship. We received the news of Han Wenkang's death as soon as it happened."
"However, the Patrol Division seems to have said that they couldn't find the killer, and it was eventually dropped."
Zhang Yang chuckled.
The killer wasn't actually undiscoverable.
It depended on whether Nan Gongwu was willing to bring the killer to justice.
After all, if they could frame him, how could they not know who the killer was?
At the same time.
Gao Xiaohei, who was beside them, also put away his computer and walked towards Zhang Yang, saying.
"Brother Zhang, you've come at the right time. I need to say goodbye to you."
Huh?
"Goodbye? Where are you going?" Zhang Yang was stunned.
He had only been away from the company for one day, had something else happened?
