Chapter 1882: 70% Chance
Tang Wulin turned to Gu Yuena, and she was also looking back at him.
Their eyes met, and through each other’s eyes, they both saw many things.
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, and said, “I’m afraid there are no absolutes in this world, Commander. All I can do is put my life on the line, and I’ll be sure to fight until the end so long as I still draw breath. If I were on my own, there would be a roughly 20% chance for me to take her down with me and around a 40% chance for me to severely wound her before I die. However, if I have Chairwoman Gu by my side, then the two of us have a 70% chance of defeating Demon Sovereign.”
Everyone was stunned to hear this; no one had anticipated such a promise from Tang Wulin, and even everyone from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect was very much taken aback. This was no laughing matter; it concerned the future of the federation and the survival of the entire human race!
On a battlefield like this, 70% was already extremely high. The fact that Tang Wulin was saying this essentially meant that he was close to fully confident in his and Gu Yuena’s ability to defeat Demon Sovereign.
However, Demon Sovereign was already a true god; even without the enhancement of a godseat, both her soul power and spiritual power had already reached the godly level, so where was his confidence coming from?
An incredulous look appeared on Yu Guanzhi’s face upon hearing this, and he exclaimed, “Are you serious?”
Among all of the people present, only Shrek’s Six Monsters had an inkling of where Tang Wulin was deriving his confidence from.
Instead of giving an immediate reply, Tang Wulin turned to Gu Yuena as if he were awaiting her answer.
Gu Yuena looked back at him, and close to 20 seconds later, she gave a firm nod. “We’re fully serious.”
Her promise was even more impactful than Tang Wulin’s. Who was the most spectacular performer and the biggest contributor to the human army on this battlefield? It had to be Gu Yuena!
She had held off the Spirit Sovereign on her own, and it could be said that prior to Tang Wulin’s return, she had been the true pillar of the human army.
It was her presence that ensured that the human army didn’t collapse in the face of several major crises, and only then were they able to last until Tang Wulin’s return.
Even more importantly, she had slain the Spirit Sovereign, thereby also putting an end to all of the Abyssal Spirit Dragons, turning the tide of the entire battle.
It was also her who had allowed the broken and dejected Spirit Pagoda to stand up tall and proud again. Through her incredible power, Gu Yuena had cemented her position as chairwoman of the Spirit Pagoda, and no one could compare with her.
As the leader of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, there was no way that Tang Wulin would lie about something like this, and with the support of Gu Yuena, his claim instantly became countless times more believable.
“Are you sure, Chairwoman?” Qiangu Dieting couldn’t help but ask.
Upon witnessing Gu Yuena slaying the Spirit Sovereign, even Qiangu Dieting had become fully convinced that Gu Yuena was far more powerful than he was.
He didn’t have time to consider where her power had come from; what was already clear was that her position as chairwoman was already completely unshakeable, and that the Qiangu Family was destined to fall into obscurity.
The only shred of hope that he could cling onto was the relationship between her and Qiangu Zhangting.
Gu Yuena turned to Qiangu Dieting, and said, “I am. If I join forces with Sect Master Tang, there’s at least a 70% chance that we’ll be able to defeat Demon Sovereign, and aside from her, there shouldn’t be anyone among the enemy camp that can pose a threat to us. It’s quite clear that Demon Sovereign proposed this bet as she’s very confident in something, but she’s not the only one with something up her sleeve.”
Yu Guanzhi hesitated momentarily before interjecting, “I know there are some things that I shouldn’t pry into, but this is an extremely significant bet, so I have to know everything before I make the final decision. After all, this concerns all of our lives and the safety of the entire continent. Chairwoman Gu, Sect Master Tang, please tell me exactly what you have up your sleeve.”
Through Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena’s words, it was clear that they were in support of accepting this bet.
Yu Guanzhi represented the military, and if he were to also approve, then this matter would be decided.
Yu Guanzhi had already made it clear that he wasn’t going to be reporting this issue to the federal government, so the decision was going to have to be made by everyone here, and it was an extremely difficult one.
Tang Wulin glanced at Gu Yuena, and she gave him a slight nod. The tacit understanding between the two immediately evoked a sense of displeasure in the hearts of Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng. However, in Gu Yuena’s current position, there was no way they would dare to express this displeasure.
Tang Wulin raised his right hand, and a light barrier was conjured up around himself, Gu Yuena, Yu Guanzhi, and Guan Yue, who represented the Battle God Hall.
No one else displayed much of a reaction to this, but both Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng’s expressions darkened significantly.
All of the people present represented the human race, so who exactly was Tang Wulin trying to guard against?
He clearly wasn’t targeting the people from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, so the answer was very apparent; it was clear that he was keeping out everyone from the Spirit Pagoda.
Was he worried that they would leak the contents of their conversation to the Holy Spirit Cult?
The gentle light barrier enveloped the four figures, and Tang Wulin seemed to have said something, while Gu Yuena stood silent beside him with a calm expression.
Both Yu Guanzhi and Guan Yue displayed astonishment upon hearing what Tang Wulin had to say, but that astonishment quickly turned into elation, and they both nodded with approval while Guan Yue even gave Tang Wulin a thumbs-up.
Shortly thereafter, the light barrier vanished. In contrast with his prior serious expression, Yu Guanzhi was looking much more relaxed as he smiled, and said, “Sect Master Tang has already convinced me; I’ve decided to support him on behalf of the military.”
At this point, Chen Xinjie had already passed away, and the only other Limit Douluos in the military were Dong Zi’an, Cao Dezhi, and Zhang Huanyun.
There was no way that Cao Dezhi would oppose Tang Wulin, Zhang Huanyun wasn’t present, and Dong Zi’an’s reputation had taken a massive hit due to his recent mistake.
Furthermore, Yu Guanzhi was the commander-in-chief of the human army, so his decision essentially represented that of the entire military.
Guan Yue nodded, and chimed in, “I have no issues, either. At the same time, our Battle God Hall is willing to participate in one of the seven-on-seven matches with me leading the team.”
The fact that there were three seven-on-seven matches meant that each side had to field 21 combatants.
Among the sovereign, emperors, and heavenly monarchs of the Holy Spirit Cult, Dark Phoenix and Dark Hummingbird were already dead, so there were only five left, and the rest of the combatants would naturally have to come from the abyssal plane.
Meanwhile, the human army had four parties, namely the Tang Sect, the Spirit Pagoda, the military, and the Battle God Hall, that could supply combatants, so it seemed that the human army definitely wasn’t at a disadvantage here.
After all, there was no lack of Limit Douluos and four-word battle armor masters among their ranks. Even though Chen Xinjie, Long Yeyue, and Leng Yaozhu had already perished, there was still a lot of firepower to come, especially from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, which were absolutely loaded.
