Divine Seal: Fire Kirin Fly Template, shattering the Demon God Pillar!

Chapter 30: Proving Cooperation to the Alliance?
The silence lasted only a few seconds before being completely drowned out by a deafening chorus of voices.

"Objection? What is he objecting to?"

"The champion has the right to choose the team members first; this is a rule that the Holy Alliance has inherited for thousands of years!"

"Is he crazy? This is a ceremony personally presided over by Palace Master Han. Is he trying to challenge the authority of the alliance in public?"

"I think I know what he's up to... Have you all forgotten about Wang Yuanyuan?"

Someone in the crowd shouted this, instantly waking up countless people.

In an instant, everyone's gaze shifted from Li Hao to Wang Yuanyuan, who was standing not far behind him.

That girl who just shone brightly on the field, and who was still honorable despite her defeat.

He stood quietly, his face showing no surprise, as if he had known this would happen all along.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Li Hao took two steps forward.

His gaze was clear and firm as he looked directly at Han Qian on the podium, his voice carrying clearly throughout the entire venue.

"Lord Han, for the sake of team balance, the Alliance requires that a standard demon hunter team must consist of six members of different classes."

“I understand that.”

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and his arguments were clear and logical.

"However, I refuse to accept this as an inviolable rule."

"boom--!"

If the "I have objections" statement just now was merely a trial balloon...

So the phrase "I refuse to accept" is tantamount to detonating a depth charge on a calm lake.

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

Refuse to accept?

On what grounds should he refuse?
Who does he think he is?

Can the rules of the Holy Alliance be changed just because he says so?
"Nonsense!"

Before Han Qian could speak, a powerful roar came from the podium.

Ren Wo Kuang's massive body had already transformed into a blur, appearing in front of Li Hao in a few flashes.

His fat face was as black as the bottom of a pot, staring intently at Li Hao, his eyes seeming to want to devour him alive.

"You little brat, do you know what you're saying? Get back here!"

Ren Wokuang lowered his voice, almost squeezing out the words through clenched teeth, afraid that others would hear him.

As he spoke, he used his large body to block the view from the podium and leaned close to Li Hao's ear.

He said urgently in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Don't think I don't know what kind of tricks you're up to!"

"That girl Yuan Yuan kept admitting defeat so that you would choose her for the team now, right?"

Li Hao remained calm, neither confirming nor denying.

Seeing this, Ren Wokuang became even more furious and continued to patiently and earnestly persuade him.

"Use your brains! You're both warriors, and your roles overlap!"

"In a team, the knight is responsible for protection and charging, the warrior is responsible for attacking and the front line, the mage and summoner are responsible for ranged firepower suppression, the assassin is responsible for reconnaissance and assassination, and the priest is the life guarantee for the whole team!"

"These six professions complement each other and are all indispensable!"

"Which class do you want your demon hunter team to lose in the future?"

"This is the optimal configuration summarized by countless predecessors with their blood and lives, so that you can survive on the cruel battlefield surrounded by demons!"

"Are you going to gamble with the future of the entire team just for some personal feelings?"

"So stop messing around and take back what you just said!"

Ren Wokuang practically gritted his teeth as he finished speaking, knowing all too well the talents of Li Hao and Wang Yuanyuan.

If the demon-hunting team formed by these two were to perish prematurely due to its flawed composition, he, as the deputy temple master of the Warrior Temple, would become a sinner for all time!
However, Li Hao responded with a seemingly casual yet weighty remark.

"If I can't be on the same team as Yuan Yuan, I'd rather withdraw from this Demon Hunter selection."

"you……!"

Ren Wokuang's eyes widened instantly, and he pointed a finger at Li Hao, his entire body trembling with rage. He wanted to unleash a torrent of curses, but found himself unable to utter a single word.

quit?
This kid actually threatened the league with withdrawing from the selection?
This isn't just nonsense, this is madness.

They've completely gone mad!
These words, though spoken softly, struck like a thunderbolt, stunning not only Ren Wokuang but also clearly reaching the ears of the several bigwigs on the podium.

The deputy temple masters exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with surprise and hesitation.

Lin Chen, the deputy temple master of the Magic Temple, frowned and said, "This kid is too arrogant! Does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he won a championship?"

Shadow Wind of the Assassin's Sanctuary remained expressionless, but a strange light flashed deep in his eyes.

"Old Kuang, Li Hao from your Warrior Temple... has really given you a huge problem!"

Ren Wokuang was speechless with bitterness. His old face turned a deep purplish-red, and he wished he could spank Li Hao, the troublemaker, right there and then.

The champion has withdrawn from the qualifying rounds.

If this gets out, the Warriors' Temple will lose all face.

Just when the situation reached a stalemate and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Han Qian, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

His gaze passed over the furious Ren Wokuang and landed on Li Hao again, his voice deep and calm.

"Li Hao."

The whole place fell silent instantly.

"You said Wang Yuanyuan is your most compatible teammate," Han Qian said slowly. "How will you prove that to us, to the entire league?"

"Old Han, what are you doing...?" Ren Wokuang was stunned upon hearing this and tried to stop him.

Let this kid prove it? Isn't that just adding fuel to the fire?
Han Qian raised her hand and gently pressed it down, signaling him to calm down.

His gaze then sharpened like that of a hawk, fixing intently on Li Hao, awaiting his answer.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Li Hao.

How to prove it?

This seems to be an unsolvable problem.

Tacit understanding is something that cannot be seen or touched; it can only be understood intuitively and cannot be expressed in words.

However, there was no trace of embarrassment on Li Hao's face.

He smiled slightly, a confident curve forming on his lips, and said loudly, "It's very simple."

"Please send two professionals from the Alliance to fight the two of us."

"Level, sixth or seventh rank, no limit."

"Occupational pairings are not limited."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Holy Alliance Stadium fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone thought they heard wrong.

One is a sixth-tier warrior, and the other is a fifth-tier warrior. The two warriors with overlapping classes are going to challenge two powerful warriors sent by the alliance, whose level can reach the seventh tier.
This...this isn't proving a tacit understanding, this is courting death!

madman!

This Li Hao is an absolute madman!

The deputy hall masters on the platform also looked on incredulously. They exchanged glances, each seeing a strong sense of absurdity in the other's eyes.

Even Ying Suifeng, who had always favored Li Hao, showed a crack on his perpetually icy face.

"Nonsense! What a nonsense!"

Ren Wo Kuang could no longer hold back and pointed at Li Hao's nose, ready to start cursing.

To his and everyone else's surprise, Han Qian slowly nodded.

"it is good."

A single word, concise yet carrying immense weight.
